Guide

Strawberry Fields era il nome di un orfanotrofio della Salvation Army, immerso in un grande giardino, dove John, che in quel periodo viveva dalla zia Mimì, si recava per partecipare a delle feste.

La prima stesura del brano risale al 1966 in Spagna, ma la versione definitiva è succesiva a diverse rielaborazioni.

Il testo è considerato da molti un ponte tra il mondo reale e quello immaginario, onirico, creato dall’LSD.

“Strawberry Fields Forever” sta a Lennon come “Penny Lane” a Paul McCartney, infatti entrambi i brani esprimono il tema della nostalgia per la loro infanzia a Liverpool.

Strawberry Fields Forever

Let me take you down caus I’m goin’ to strawberry fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about.
Strawberry fields forever.
Living is easy with eyes closed.
Misunderstunding 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 caus I’m goin’ 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 know you can’t tune in but it’s all right
that is. I think it’s not to bad.
Let me take you down caus I’m goin’ to strawberry fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about.
Strawberry fields forever.
Always know sometimes think it’s me.
But you know I know and it’s a dream.
I think I know of thee, ah, yes but it’s all wrong
that is. I think I disagree.
Let me take you down caus I’m goin’ to strawberry fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about.
Strawberry fields forever.
Strawberry fields forever.
Strawberry fields forever.
