Strawberry Fields Forever
Let me take you down,
'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real,
And nothing to get hung about.
Strawberry Fields forever.
'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real,
And nothing to get hung about.
Strawberry Fields forever.
Living is easy with eyes closed,
Misunderstanding all you see.
It's getting hard to be someone,
But it all works out;
It doesn't matter much to me.
Misunderstanding all you see.
It's getting hard to be someone,
But it all works out;
It doesn't matter much to me.
Let me take you down,
'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real,
And nothing to get hung about.
Strawberry Fields forever.
'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real,
And nothing to get hung about.
Strawberry Fields forever.
No one I think is in my tree,
I mean, it must be high or low.
That is, you can't, you know, tune in,
But it's all right.
That is, I think it's not too bad.
I mean, it must be high or low.
That is, you can't, you know, tune in,
But it's all right.
That is, I think it's not too bad.

Always know, sometimes think it's me.
But you know, I know when it's a dream.
I think a "No," I mean a "Yes,"
But it's all wrong.
That is, I think I disagree.
But you know, I know when it's a dream.

Strawberry Fields forever. Strawberry Fields forever,
Strawberry Fields forever, Strawberry Fields forever.

Nothing is real,
And nothing to get hung about.
Strawberry Fields forever. Strawberry Fields forever,
Strawberry Fields forever, Strawberry Fields forever.
Strawberry Field era um terreno em Liverpool onde se localizava uma hospedaria (abrigo) do Exército de Salvação, um grupo religioso com ramificações no mundo inteiro. Por ser um local cercado, amplo e com um grande jardim, lá durante o verão europeu eram realizados quermeses. Em uma rua paralela, Menlove Avenue, moravam John Lennon, sua tia Mimi e seu tio George. John costumava brincar no local durante a sua infância.
Durante o tempo em que se encontrava em Almeria, Espanha participando das filmagem de How I Won The War do diretor Richard Lester, ele compôs uma música autobiográfica em que recordava o tempo de infância e deu o nome a ela de "Strawberry Fields Forever". A letra não é explícita, mas bastante onírica, e brincando com as palavras, bem ao estilo de compor de John Lennon.
O início da gravação desta música, no dia 24 de novembro de 1966, abre as sessões do projeto que veio a tornar-se o álbum Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Neste dia, John aparece nos estúdios de Abbey Road com uma fita demo que gravara em sua residência em Kenwood e a apresentou ao grupo.
As gravações prosseguiram nos dias 28 e 29 de novembro , e nos dias 8 e 9 de dezembro de 1966. No dia 15 de dezembro de 1966 foram acrescentados acordes produzidos por três violoncelos e quatro trompetes com arranjos de George Martin.
