Strawberry Fields Forever Lyrics

Performed by The Beatles

Let me take you down, '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 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, '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.

The Beatles- Strawberry Fields Forever <3 | Reviewer: abbie_dabbie_doo <3 | 1/5/12

I'm 14 years old and I've been a fan of The Beatles since I was about nine years old and I heard "Let It Be" on the radio. I asked my mother who was singing the song- at first being foolish and thinking it was Elton John (who I also love)- and she told me it was The Beatles. I thought to myself, "What a silly name for a band" Then again, I was only young. In 1964, John Lennon was interviewed and was asked why the band was named so, and he stated when he was 12, he had a vision of "a man on a flaming pie, and he said "You are Beatles with an 'a'"
Just a bit of information I know. :)
About this particular song however, The lyrics are amazing. One of my favorite things about John Lennon is his mind- his IMAGINATION. I adore it. I can remember watching videos of interviews with John Lennon and Yoko Ono, and I think to myself, "what a lucky girl she was. being married to such a handsome, imaginative, simply brilliant man." I have fuming jealousy against Yoko. it's ridiculous but still. Oh my, back to the SONG. i first heard this song while sitting with my boyfriend Andy. We were playing rock'n'roll on the internet, and he chose "Everlong" by The Foo Fighters. I stated "I like the acoustic version better" he replied "Oh, me too. But I thought you liked the non acoustic so I played it for you." I laughed and said "nice try but i see right throught that. I still love you though... Let me take you down" and kissed him, and he said "That reminds me!" i say"what" he says, " have you ever heard the song "Strawberry fields Forever"? By the beatles?" i said no and he played it. and i love it. and now its our song. <3 kay bye <3

PAUL ISNT DEAD... well i think.. BUt i did just see him get married on the tv | Reviewer: Kolby | 10/16/11

Dear wyatt, Paul isn't dead... you have to much free time... John says CRANBERRY SAUCE... Haven't you ever seen Sgt. Peppers album cover? the three people put together... say hardy-har- har which was a joke that people thought he was dead

Documentary | Reviewer: Wyatt | 8/18/11

Y'all need to watch a documentary called Paul McCartney really is dead an it explains about how they dropped hints of Pauls death. If you listen closely at the end of the song you can hear somebody saying "I buried Paul"

strawberry fields is nowhere near london | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/23/11

Stawberry kush has nothing to do with this song seeingg as only landrace weed or (marijuana) was smoked in the 60's stawberry fields was a salvation army orphange in LIVERPOOL not London which has since been knocked down but the gates are still there (i should know ive been there many times tripping on mushrooms). Its gotta be a yank who said it was in london. Next they will be saying penny lane was named after a groupie in a rubbish yank film,and that abbey roads in new york.

Strawberry fields was an orphenage in London, were John was going to play with the kids when he was young. "Nothing is real" means when he plays with children, imaginary games etc."

Firstly, Strawberry Fields was a Salvation Army children's home.
Secondly, it was located in Liverpool, NOT London.

only | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/10/11

I'm only 3 and I find that the overall intellectual feeling that this song portrays is one of a deep complexity and emotion. It maintains a strong sense of identity with his roots while portraying a reminiscent overtone. Oh wait I mean 30...

one of the best songs ever | Reviewer: paige | 7/7/11

'Strawberry Fields Forever' is about a child hood place John would go in Liverpool for concerts and just to hang out with friends... That's also where he met young 15 year old Paul for the first time and the rest is history.
but the song is about a real place. And there is an orphanage called Strawberry fields but its right next to the park.

:) | Reviewer: Emily | 2/22/11

I'm sixteen and the Beatles are my favourite band. Big deal. Most teens (or rather just people in general) like the Beatles. They were, are, and probably always will be popular. And so they deserve it :)

Strawberry Field's is my favourite song. I first heard it when I was twelve, and it absolutely moved me. Every time I listen to it, my heart melts.

strawberry fields | Reviewer: dan | 2/23/11

Although all of their songs list Lennon and McArtney as the writers, this was actually written by John and it describes how he knew at a very young age that he was different and that he could see and understand things that his peers simply could not. I recall this from an interview (possibly the Playboy magazine interview). Also, Lennon cited this as one of his personal favorites.
