Reviews for Strawberry Fields Forever Lyrics

!st off verse 1 is incorrect I wouldn't read too much into what Johns interpertation of this song is. Its more of what do you think it means. One thing I know is it was a personel song about his life at the time. It has nothing to do with Paul being dead. The Beatles never played that game the Media did.
Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see.
It's getting hard to be someone but it all works out.
That to me means just grow up Guys and Gals it will all work out the way the Cosmos has it planed for you.

I have seen people comment on this and only two answers are truely solid,Anonymous|11/22/09 and Noori. But to further clarify, Strawberry Fields is the reality that most see. What we were taught was right or acceptable in society without being considered insane and because of that our minds filter out information without seriously taking poetential 'reality' into consideration.

Also,"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." This means that we believe what we are told to believe, by the people who are higher than us. The media the government...Think about it and if you are interested in what the truth really is, THINK ABOUT IT and investigate your own thought.

i love how they would make songs for one thing but have it so closely related to drugs. i heard this one was about a salvation army store called strawberry fields and its also about heroin. and lucy in the sky with diamonds is about acid and a picture a little kid drew.

This song is awesome, but if im the only one that knows what this song is really means...this song is about herion...the beatles did herion and wrote this song...they did drugs every time they wrote a song...like Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds...that ones about LSD...and Yellow Submeriene is about a trip on asid

Dear Folks

I think strawberry fields ... song ,which I used to listen 33 years ago when I was a 16 yrs boy and studied hard in San Diego, shows a part of what is going on in the singers mind. It seems like a delusional concept and understanding of our nature and the real things which we are sure they do exist. Your bodies, the nature, your friends,the God and so on.

I wish you all success and real joyful lives. S.Sadeghi M.D.

Never could these supermen be accused of writing a hollow word.Strawberry feilds, was just one more additon of their consistency to promote joy, peace and truth within.I for one, through their music adopted the magic on offer.
I don't feel at all that the song could attached nor was made over the war, I think it was a mazy moment John had, which more times then not ended in brillance.

Stawberry Fields is a state of mind. ...a place that only the individual who is there can truly know. ("No one I think is in my tree...") It is a statement of recognition of the fact that no one can truly know the conscious mind of another. And it is a surrender to, and acceptance of, that fact. At the same time it is an expression of longing to have the ability to truly share your conscious experience with another.

john lennon was such a creative genius.all of his songs touch me in some sort of way. he has such an amazing niche for metaphors in his songs. I think its amazing that i can relate to his music being 17.

Strawberry Fields could be a somewhere he escapes to in his dreams or when he's high. since "nothing is real" Living is easy with eyes closed cause its getting harder to be fake paul. It doesnt matter much to john. In the end it will all work out. No ones in his tree cause hes sure no one will know the truth to paul. Seaking metaphoriclly that paul is dead.

i love this song not bacause it has strawberrys in it but that does make it so much better
i love this song becaues it makes me think about what happed back then! i just love thhis song and if you have not lisend to this song you should ! <3

this song is awesome. im glad i heard it. i love the beatles thier awesome. i swear if i had a time machine i would go back in time and see every single concert they had. i care how much i would have to pat thier awesome. im 15 and i think they rule

this song is totally amazing,i've never heard this song before today, im so glad to hear it.
but i was wondering how could john lennon make this kind of songs, im really impress, cause the inside of every jonh lennon song has some sent and is a particular sent, every lyrics has a message, ahaha... maybe in some cases has like a secret messages.
i dont know i hope in the future we can change the world and stop the stupid war and...well you know stop the strawberry fields, i thing that strawberry fields means a bloody war, at least for me that is the meaning.
'' STRAWBERRY FIELDS, NOTHING IS REAL''

I fail to see how these lyrics are about the Vietnam War. It seems to me to be Lennon's personal thoughts at the time. He's even said as much. It's an examination of himself, and life as he sees it. No one is "in his tree" - the isolation of knowing that he's exceptional. "It must be high or low" meaning he's either extraordinarily insightful or insane ... the whole song can be interpreted quite easily this way. John, the existentialist, thinking about the illusion of life, the bardo of becoming, the God question, confusion, his relaxed apathy about it all ... The chorus is essentially saying "Let me show you into my world." Beautifully written lyrics really.

In my opinion Strawberry Fields is a nice song, that its wonderful to listen to when you are looking for a relaxing atmosphere or when you feel that you need a place where you can find peace and quiet and be comfotable with yourself no matter whats going on outside..

I heard this song on the radio today and I got thinking about it's meaning. I agree with yaronadar@gmail.com Vietnam interpretation. Yes Strawberry Fields was a Salvation Army orphanage where Lennon visited as a child, but I believe that there is much more to the song, it hits us somewhere deep down. Lennon was without a doubt an artistic genius and was the kind of man who expressed very complex social & moral issues in his music - in Strawberry Fields he is making a declaration against the war in Vietnam - it is like a calling or a notice to his generation.
Remember that during this time there was no internet and fast free flow of ideas, it was a generation that spoke very much through music. And Lennon cared about humanity and what was happening in the world at the time. He is telling us that he is aware of the struggle within us and that he is ready to make a choice are you ready to make yours? We sense the horror and the humanity in the song because it takes a perfect emotional snapshot if you will of that timeframe- so therefore we get a sense of the fears and the disillusionment, the confusion and the inner struggles of that period in history that Lennon was very much in touch with. It's a brilliant song - I believe the most powerful anti-war song ever. I think it's a little sad when people say " oh just enjoy it it's a song" - that's how the importance and meanings of these works gets lost or corrupted, i think these types of discussions are very relevant.
