How do you end one of the greatest albums of all time? Maybe you need to bring in a 40 person orchestra. This week on One Song, Diallo Riddle and LUXXURY continue their two-part exploration of the Beatles with one of the greatest album closers of all time, “A Day In The Life.” They dive into the silly hats and carnival novelties that helped create the chaotic orchestral sections of the song, the headlines that inspired John Lennon’s lyrical odyssey, and debate whether or not Sgt. Pepper’s can truly be considered a concept album.
