'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
Let me take you down
'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
Let me take you down
'Cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields
Nothing is real, and nothing to get hung about
Strawberry Fields forever
Always, no, sometimes think it's me
But you know I know when it's a dream
I think, er, no, I mean, er, yes, but it's all wrong
That is, I think I disagree
Let me take you down
'Cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields
Nothing is real, and nothing to get hung about
Strawberry Fields forever
Strawberry Fields forever
Strawberry Fields forever

Of course, some songs speak louder than words.
The outro is my favorite part.
I just upped it to a 9 for that reason.
Not a silly song at all. Strawberry Fields is an actual place located in a suburb of Liverpool . Like many Beatle songs, there is more to it then what you might think at first listen. Masterpiece.
Strawberry Fields: is´nt it rather a place in NY Central Park?
Wonderful memories of times gone by.
Thank you boys for all you did for us teenagers from 1962 onward ........... I really believe you had to be there to understand how much the music and the times changed.
Don't get me wrong I love Sinatra et al ... but yes, they had their time and now it was ours.
As mentioned in comments below from 16 years ago, it is the string arrangement and production that makes this rather silly song into a masterpiece.
And who did that? Well it was not one of the Fab Four... it was George Martin who was sometimes referred to as "the fifth Beatle" for that very reason.
The reason this silly song is so great is because they all collaborated on the track and the lyrics are great also! silly that's what made them so great!
Another beatles song that got played to death
Well, it lives for me, thank you all the same!
Strawberry Fields is also a section of Central Park, NY City. Of course, that was created after Mr Lennon's murder.
Aw, c'mon, everyone knows it's "I bury Paul", because he was like, dead, ya know?

I concur with all you say. The horns were also rather remarkable,
These guys were so before their time it's ridiculous!
They actually shaped time, musically speaking...
Let the Lennon-McCartney place name battle begin...
No idea where it may physically be, but the memory is priceless.
This dual-mono "stereo" mix doesn't work well on headphones ...
Especially not when one is almost deaf in one ear. I had to keep swapping my phones around to check that the drums were still going!

So very odd...

This song is soooo good for the ears...
Kind of funny but I spent a few hours last night listening to all the different versions of this song on Youtube. Quite a story behind this song, now I know where the two takes are mixed together.
It just hit the 6th year anniversary of the last time it was played on RP. I am going to request it.
edit: well, looks like the "request song" link has been removed, guess I won't request it after all.

George, John, Ringo and Paul.
The Beatles.
Awful scan and quite a crude, un-sophistcated image (with a few errors in the drawing/cropping/lyrics) but a very personal piece of artwork for me.
Long story short the Beatles music gave me back my artistic inspiration (what little I had of it in the first place, anyway!)
This is dedicated to their wonderful music (and especially George Harrison who was my favourite of the Fab Four).
What more can I say?
and don't forget the best verse in the universe "...living is easy with eyes closed...."
