About Strawberry Fields Forever

"Strawberry Fields Forever" is a song by the English rock band the Beatles, written by John Lennon and credited to Lennon–McCartney. It was released on 13 February 1967 as a double A-side single with "Penny Lane". It represented a departure from the group's previous singles and a novel listening experience for the contemporary pop audience. While the song initially divided and confused music critics and the group's fans, it proved highly influential on the emerging psychedelic genre. Its accompanying promotional film is similarly recognised as a pioneering work in the medium of music video. Lennon based the song on his childhood memories of playing in the garden of Strawberry Field, a Salvation Army children's home in Liverpool. Starting in November 1966, the band spent 45 hours in the studio, spread over five weeks, creating three versions of the track. The final recording combined two of those versions, which were entirely different in tempo, mood and musical key. It features reverse-recorded instrumentation, Mellotron flute sounds, an Indian swarmandal, tape loops and a fade-out/fade-in coda, as well as a cello and brass arrangement by producer George Martin. For the promotional film, the band used experimental techniques such as reverse effects, stop motion animation, jump-cuts and superimposition.

Strawberry Fields...
Nada es Real
Why nada en lo que pensar.
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.

No one I think is in my tree
I mean it must be high or low.
That is you can or not tune in
But it's all right. That is I think it's not too bad.

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.

Strawberry Fields, Nada es real,
Why nada en lo que pensar...
Strawberry Fields Forever.
Strawberry Fields Forever.
Strawberry Fields Forever.
