Strawberry Fields Forever is one of The Beatles' most popular songs, and is regarded by many critics to be amongst the band's finest works. Initially recorded for inclusion on 'Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band' (in fact it was the first song laid down during those sessions), it never actually made it onto the album, and was instead released as a double A-side single with the song 'Penny Lane'.Paul McCartney's 'Penny Lane' and John Lennon's 'Strawberry Fields Forever' made natural bedfellows, as both songs explore the theme of nostalgia, referencing to specific places in the songwriters' home city of Liverpool. In addition to the real-life references, the two tracks share trippy, surrealistic overtones which went on to make them both defining works of the psychedelic rock genre.

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, 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
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
