    One of my favourites. This puts me in that space, when the Beatles were at their absolute peak, in 1964. The world had gone mad for them and still really didn’t know what it had! Songs like this one just blew people away. That they were writing this stuff themselves and of such a quality, was not easy to take in. Again, the sheer joy of Beatlemania runs throughout this tune. So lovely to see people celebrating John and The Beatles, so many years later. You were wrong Grandad! They lasted longer than 6 months!

That was the only chance I had to see them. When I was 23 my mom had a surprise baby. I was thrilled and vowed to always be there for him and I was. I wanted him to have an older brother I never had. I was with him though a lot of tough times and for the 2 years he battled cancer when I took care of him. I lost him a couple months before his 30th birthday. He knew he could always count on me.

      The magic of music is like that. People today still "sweat" Mozart, Tchaikovsky, and Beethoven. The music of The Beatles will easily last as long, even if the bulk of rock music fades into the "unremembered" category. John & Paul, and to a lesser extent, George, found a way to write a great volume of songs, each of high quality. I'd suppose that a great many bands would love to have written songs as good as The Beatles worst dozen examples.

      @@richardsiebert7858 the real Strawberry Field was an orphanage John used to visit as a child. His aunt didn’t like him going there and he’d always reply, “why Mimi, they can’t hang you for it”. (It’s in the lyrics). The garden was a refuge for him. There is a Salvation Army centre there now with a small exhibition about John.

    Have fond memories of this particular song. While all my highschool class mates were into Madonna and Prince (this happened 1987), I already knew almost every Beatles song by heart.....and so it came to be that I sang this song on the bus that would take us to our school trip to Berlin. Yes, I have seen the East German border controls happening and seeing the Berlin wall standing. So this song is connected to a lot of historical memories I treasure bigtime.
