This song was inspired by a picture John Lennon’s son drew of his friend Lucy surrounded by stars. ‘Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds’ is full of vivid imagery that doesn’t always make sense but remains transportive nonetheless and is considered by many to be one of the best psychedelic songs. Many people think this song is about hallucinations while o...
Though Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is thought to be a children’s story, it’s easy to make connections between hallucinogenics and Alice’s experiences. Jefferson Airplane bases ‘White Rabbit’ on some of the details and characters in the book, such as “one pill makes you larger, and one pill makes you small,” and “the Red Queen’s off with her he...
Bright purple is a common color to see during a psychedelic trip, and “purple haze” is even used as another name for LSD. So, it’s a likely conclusion that this song is about tripping. Jimi Hendrix is lost in the haze of his trip, and the messy guitars and twinkling instruments make us feel like we’re right there with him.
‘The End’ spoken about in this song is death, but it’s also a fitting name for the last track on the self-titled album. Yet, there is a lack of fear that most people associate with dying. The Doors look ahead at how the afterlife could be “so limitless and free.” Much of the song references the story of the mythological figure Oedipus, who was dest...
This instrumental by Pink Floyd takes you through many different musical sections and emotions. Starting with a grungy guitar, ‘Interstellar Overdrive’ has all the hints of a classic rock song. But riveting bass riffs, messy drums, and electronic experimentation give it that unique psychedelic style. Though the song is nearly ten minutes long, ther...
‘Dark Star’ did not have much success when it was first released, but it eventually went on to become one of the most important songs in the Grateful Dead’s discography. The song is somewhat laid back and almost acoustic compared to other psychedelic rock songs, but lyrics like “mirror shatters in formless reflections” give it that trippy edge. Whe...
‘Eight Miles High’ may seem like an allusion to being high, but The Byrds literally mean it. They began writing this song while on a plane miles above the ground. The electric guitar in this song has a unique sound, almost like bagpipes, and the stacked vocals give the song a disorienting feel. Related: Fly over to our list of songs about flight.
You should definitely try listening to this song with headphones on—different instruments are panned to different sides, and the unevenness of the track makes it so immersive. When the guitar starts riffing, it pans around, almost like the guitarist is circling you. ‘My White Bicycle’ creates a unique listening experience you can’t always find in o...
The bassline in ‘Sunshine of Your Love’ is an iconic one, setting the groove for the rest of the song the second it starts playing. This Cream song is about love and the warmth it brings. The narrator promises to always stay with this love, rejoicing that he is finally washed in the sunshine of love after waiting such a long time to feel it. Relate...
The Velvet Underground based this track on the novel called Venus in Furs. The song talks about a man so deeply in love with a woman that he is okay with (and maybe even wants) her to treat him cruelly. The lyrics pull in some themes from the original novel but mainly put their own spin on some of the original sexual themes. Related: Need a nap? He...
