At around 2 minutes before they do the pull off? I mean it's pretty clear to me but I'm wondering if anyone else ever hears it. I think it's amazing. :) Vietnam interpretation | Reviewer: yaronadar@gmail.com | 8/15/09 Written during the Vietnam War, this song smacks of cynicism pointed at the Vietnam War. "Strawberry Fields" allude to the massive death tolls -- the blood-bathed fields supposedly look like strawberry patches (the irony of the phrase adds impact). The song was recorded in 1966, so most of the song refers to the nightmarish tendencies of the war (nothing is real), the mindless support of the war (living is easy with eyes closed...), and, most of all, the overwhelmed sentiment of war-opposers (No one I think is in my tree; I now when it's a dream; I think I disagree; etc). Or it could be about Lennon's personal life. Don't know if he ever told anyone. Taken out of historical context, I think it gives a powerful message about society and non-comformity. Strawberries | Reviewer: Rubber Soul | 8/15/09 You guys are trying to find out what John Lennon waas trying to say right? Well maybe it was something that he wanted to remain a mystery, but i dont know.All i know is its a beautiful song and that life IS easier with eyes closed, i should know, ive had to for awhile. Meaning and comments | Reviewer: Marissa | 8/13/09 Strawberry fields was actually a small airport outside of Liverpool. Then a childrens home adopted the name. And when John Lennon sings "No one I think is in my tree," the tree he is referring to is his feelings or himself. So whenever I listen to strawberry fields, or any Beatles song, I think of the awful music we have today. I mean the poor education isn't only to blame but the lack of imagination people have. Yes the Beatles did a number of drugs in their time and of which they have wrote some very interesting songs like "Come Together" and "I am the Walrus" but when you really listen to them and study the lyrics, you find the true meanings of every verse, every WORD, drug fueled or not. I mean I am only 14 and I have cried when I listen to some Beatles songs. Don't tell me "Let It Be" or "Hey Jude" aren't moving in some way. See this is what happens when I think about the Beatles. Haha from one song on to four others. =] Gotta Love the Beatles | Reviewer: Joshua T | 8/2/09 The Beatles are awesome. Just wanted to say that and also the guy who talked about the third eye thingy. Dude i don't have a clue what ur talking about but alright that's cool I'll look into it. I'll just say the Strawberry Field is the name of a children s home near where Lennon lived. He and a bunch of friends used to play there when he was little. Also while writing this song Lennon was using LSD, cannabis, and his marriage was falling. I think this song is about thinking back on his fond memories there. He probably was wishing he could return to being that kid he was then and living carefree. Then he probably realized life really wasn't too bad. Life just carries on and nobody can change what is done. Then he thought to himself all this talk was crazy and it must be a dream, a dream where he'll just lay back and let it carry out. But i don't know... I'm not John Lennon. We can only guess what went on in his mind. Said and done I'll just say lets sit back and enjoy the music. the actual meaning.. | Reviewer: maxine | 8/1/09 ...some of you guys are reading WAY too deeply into the song, Others, not at all. Strawberry Fields was a salvation army children's home. the song is about nostalgia of the past. when you grow up, things are hazy, difficult, harder. when you're a kid things are so much easier. the whole song gives off a vibe of nostalgia. it's not about any "third eye" or the meaning it is given in Across the Universe (although that is another way to interpret it) Seriously? Do your research. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/15/09 Most of you are ignorant. What is music without meaning? Are people honestly trying to say that a person that has changed so many lives would have a song without a meaning? Before people go judging the songs written by john lennon they should explore his beliefs so you can fully understand the songs, it's a completely different experience. Good song and.. | Reviewer: Michael | 5/9/09 I love this song, and to the person below me; I love LOST AND I got the same line "Living is Easy With Eyes Closed" tattooed onto my forearm. I never noticed Charlie's tattoo before, thats pretty wild, and awesome at the same time. But yeah, this song stands out to me whenever Im going through a tough time trying to figure out the world. Look at this. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/3/09 Omg! I love this song, And if you EVER have watched the show "lost" the line "Living is Easy With Eyes Closed" is Charlies Tattoo. No this song did not copy "lost" because "Strawberry fields" has been around alot longer. Its not really copying it its trying to show people that it actully means something. nothins gonna chang my world | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/16/09 the imagery in the film rocks just as great as the Beatle songs. thats what I love, the message of the lyrics put into a story. I can't watch it and not be moved. It made me understand better what people where dealing with in a time of great injustice, turning to drugs, trying to make since of it all. When people were being sent to fight in a war they didn't want. Add Your New Review About The Song By Pages:   1    2    3    4    5    6    7    8    9    10   Next 10 Pages
