      Ringo's drumming?..... abso-efn-lutely!!!! This song weighs a mega-ton, thanks not only to Ringo's drumming but the way the drums are recorded. Out the Beatles lengthy catalog this is probably in my top 5....... John Lennon at his best as a lyricist. Having been around when this first came out, I've heard it hundreds of times and never tire of it. Just an incredibly unique song in every way and really interesting to see someone hearing it for the first time.

    There's no doubt that the Beatles were the greatest rock band of all time. They killed it every way you might want. You want a rocker? Try "Help" or "Revolution" You want a beautiful ballad? Try "And I Love Her" or "Something" You want a perfect pop song? Try "Ticket to Ride" or "Paperback Writer". You want artsy songs? Try "Across the Universe" or "Norwegian Wood". I could go on, but you get the point. Three genius singer-songwriters and an awesome drummer, now that's just too hard to beat, and why they are the GOATS!

      "It’s best to listen to the song without the video" - i couldn't disagree more...i saw this (before ever hearing the song) as a child in the mid 80s on PBS (they were showing Magical Mystery Tour) and the imagery of the video had the song haunting me (in the best way) til i finally saw this again when the Anthology came out in 95. It's really simple (and weird), but a great video!

    The Beatles spent 55 hours creating this piece of audio artwork…that’s what it really is. Art for your ears. There are so many layers to this song, you can’t possibly hear it all the first time. It almost requires you to listen to it a few times and just pick out different sounds or instruments each time. John Lennon viewed "Strawberry Fields Forever" as his finest work with the Beatles. And it probably was. Strawberry Field was a garden that John used to play in as a child in Liverpool. After Lennon's murder in New York City, a section of Central Park was named after the song, near where his apartment was. There are always people playing and singing Beatles music at that area in the park, if you ever visit.

      Yeah - you need to take numerous listens just concentrating on different elements - like George Martin's strings and brass. Just one listen (at least) simply concentrating on that. Then another listen just concentrating on Ringo's drumming. Then another listening to the keys or John's vocals. There's so much for the ear to analyse.

      This one he listened to must be a remaster, as it doesn't have the lowered pitch in one part of the original album version ( the band chose two different sections of different recordings and to put them together, George Martin wanted them to be somewhat in the same key, but the limitation of technology then, the only way to do it was to play the tape slower, which gave it that psychedelic feel in the vocals.

    The Beatles were under pressure from their record company to release a single because they had adopted a low profile after their final live performance in Candlestick Park. At the time they were working on the ground-breaking "Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" album and its nature had been kept secret. They chose to realease the double-A single, "Strawberry Fields/ Penny Lane" and blew away the music world! Many people say these songs really should be on Sgt Pepper and it's hard to hear them without thinking about Sgt Pepper, just as it's hard to listen to Sgt Pepper without wondering how they would have included these tracks. Ultimately, I think the Beatles made the right decision in releasing the album and the double-A side in the way they did. It's just that I remember how, as a six year old, I first heard "Penny Lane" when it played over the radio in my aunt's house and all the children froze in the middle of a game to listen. I wonder if Gen-Zers have had similar experiences with nodern music? I hope so.

I think your commentary is great! So keep on doing what you want to do! You will be enriched by every Beatle song you hear (except when Ringo sings! 😊😅😊😅). You know they came out with a new song last year called, NOW AND THEN. John wrote it and sang it while playing piano and recorded it on a cassette tape. After he died, the tape was given to the other 3 Beatles. They worked on it together, but didn't have the technolgy to make it work. Then George died. So Ringo and Paul worked on it last year and finally made it happen. So that one is the last Beatles song. Check it out!.

    I was a teenager in the 60s and the Beatles were my favorite band. It was really cool listening to them change through the decade. After John Lennon was murdered in NYC in December, 1980 , a 2.5-acre landscaped section in Central Park, New York City was dedicated to his memory. It was named Strawberry Fields. John and his wife Yoko Ono lived next to Central Park and were often seen walking in the city and walking to and from their recording studio. The song “Strawberry Fields Forever” was inspired by Lennon’s childhood memories of playing in the garden of a Salvation Army children’s home called Strawberry Field in Liverpool, England.

    It is difficult to express the feelings of joy when listening to this song when it first came out. Just wonder. Every new album was an experience of going down that rabbit hole of imagination and wonder.
    The genius that were the Beatles will last to the end of times 🙏 I love them and I will love them forever ♾️ and ever grateful for the joy they brought into my life. Thank John, thank you Paul, thank you George, thank you Ringo 🙏💐 Love oo

    No....its not Strawberry Fields. This was filmed in a park in kent.
    Strawberry Fields was a salvation army home directly behind John Lennons home in Liverpool.
    Its interesting to note that this is 2 takes put together.
    Take 7 and take 26.
    You'll notice the join in the song around 1.29 when take 26 was a higher tempo.
    George Martin joined the tapes to make a complete song.

    You should just go from first album to last album in chronological order. It gets good views and is the best way to appreciate all eras of The Beatles.

    • @patticrichton1135
      @patticrichton1135 10 месяцев назад +5

      ABSOLUTELY AGREE!! Starting from their first album and going chronologically as they were released is the ONLY way one can appreciate their growth, how they progressed and evolved in their music.

    The John Lennon lyrics and vocals are beautiful. I first heard this song the day it came out. Back when the Beatles were around, every time they released a new record it was like a holiday celebration. That makes me 72 years old now but there is no other time period I would have rather lived through. It makes it almost worth it to be old now.

      @patticrichton1135 10 месяцев назад

      Not necessary, I have never smoked anything, and had NO problem making sense of their music or videos. I have been a fan since the beginning, when I was 16/17 years old when the Beatles first came to the U.S. on Feb. 7th, 1964, I fell happily into "Beatlemania" and I STILL have the "disease" to this day! LOVE THEM and ALWAYS WILL.

    Love the show because you don’t talk and interrupt much. Your comments are good. To explain (as an old British person) Strawberry Fields is a park in Liverpool where the Beatles members grew up. It was also LSD (acid) trip in the 60s called Strawberry Fields. So this is a trippy sing. Good luck.

    The Beatles were the first group i learned, very well the words of most songs they wrote. This, while I was in elementary school. In Junior HS band class, the teacher was a huge The Beatles fan, and had us practice songs, each semester we would play at the school gatherings. They were one or two jams, each time (in a collection of 8 - 10 songs). And it lit me up each time we played them.

    The Beatles started EVERYTHING. They were the first band that didn't showcase 1 individual like, Buddy Holly and the, or Bill Haley and the, or Danny and the...they were just the Beatles. They were the first to write and play their own material. In February 1964 they shot to super-stardom after doing the Ed Sullivan Show. The screaming fainting girls was sort of a thing with them. In April 1964 they had the top 6 songs on the Billboard 100. They harmonized with fun uplifting playful lyrics with a unique sound new to the world. They open the flood gates of rock and roll inspiring and influencing many future stars. They were 4 witty, likable, well-dressed lads. The world wanted to be the Beatles.
    Then they dropped acid and took everything to a whole nother level. They just got better and better. They were a phenomenon. One can only hope to experience something like Beatlemania, I'm glad I was there.

    Glad you like it Jay, it's good to get the Beatles into your life, they will only make it better. They have to be one of the best (if not the best) bands ever. For an earlier and simpler tune try 'Yesterday' (one of the most famous and covered songs in history) and for something later wirh a harder, rocky edge try 'Revolution'. Cheers ❤🧡💛💚💙💜 (emoji fart from an old fart!)

    All recorded on a 4 track machine and the song is from two takes that were in different keys. That was accomplished by speeding up the first take. George Martin was an interval part of the band.
