The Beatles - Strawberry Fields Forever 

On Vocals/Guitar: John On Bass/Mellotron: Paul On Swarmandal: George On Drums: Ringo On LSD: All of them

How can a song sound so happy and sad at the same time?

I once heard art described as “something that should disturb the comfortable and comfort the disturbed.” I’d say this song lives up to that standard.

A lot of these clips seriously look like they were filmed today. Not just the video quality, but there’s something about the cinematography that feels distinctly modern.

Ringo’s Drumming in this song is SEVERELY underrated.

This song makes me nostalgic for a time I wasn't a part of

The production on this song is unreal, ridiculous. Waaaaaaay ahead of its time.

For those of you who didn't live through the 60's, NO other band caused the level of anticipation The Beatles caused before the release of every single and album they created. Each record was more creative and innovative than the last. They NEVER repeated themselves. Each song was unique and special in it's own way. They were truly the greatest musical phenomenon of the 20th century. They are timeless.

*Girl:* "I was giving you all the signals!" *the signals:*

Ringos' drumming on this is masterful. Honestly he doesn't get enough love.

Billie Elish: I make the weirdest music videos The Beatles: hold our magic mushrooms.

There’s something so comforting about this song.

Imagine living in 1967 and hearing this song for the first time🤯🤯🤯

" Strawberry fields, Nothing is real" *the crushing truth of reality*

I always wondered what goes through Paul and Ringo minds since they are still around after all these years, so much music concerts, albums, interviews. You wonder if they sit around and think about what a life they've had.

hearing The Beatles in the middle of the night hits different ...

“Living is easy with eyes closed”

"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" Those lines are just beautiful on so many levels.

10 year old me and my friends after eating my brother's special brownies:

Beatles songs are an experience

Crazy we lost John 40 years ago today. Use this song to remember him every year, RIP

nowadays music: *hits a high note* the beatles: *hits a note high*

You know it's timeless when it's old but still feels futuristic.

Ringo's drumming on this is special.

It’s mind blowing how they went from “I Want To Hold Your Hand” to “Strawberry Fields” in just three years

Every time Paul stares into my soul when Lennon says "Nothing is real", I feel genuinely threatened.

“And nothing to get hung about” When John Lennon was young he and his mates would climb the trees and walls at Strawberry Fields. His Aunt Mimi would yell at him to stop and say: “Stop John you’ll get hanged!” And John would answer “there’s nothing to get hung about!” I learnt this on the Magical Mystery Tour today

One of the most finely produced songs of all time. Stunning.

It was the 60s, and they had a better camera than my 2019 phone.

Only the Beatles could tune a tree

nobody is going to talk about the quality of the video? i mean, it's scary. it seems as if it had been recorded today.

How can this innovation still seem ahead of its time 60 years later

“I hope the temperature isn’t too high” *the temperature* :

Who else is listening to Beatle Songs in the middle of the night?

My Dad told me the Beatles helped him get through Life right after he got out of Viet Nam . As a kid he always played there albums in the house/car , and I remember every song . RIP DAD I Love you !

now I know why the Beatles are number 1

This is a masterpiece, one of the Beatles highest points. The melody, the lyrics, the collage of the two versions that makes the whole song even more strange and misterious...

Ringos drumming in this song is wonderful. All those fills are pure rhythmic gold.

The Beatles were so ahead of their time.

An eternal song for everyone's childhood time.

This song Is like a fever dream

can we just take a second to appreciate the camera quality of this video

“Living is easy with eyes closed” Blind People: Am I a joke to you

This song will be played at my funeral. It will be a celebration of who I am. Beatles Forever!

i love how ringo patiently waits for his turn to pour paint on the piano

Not much to say, one of the greatest songs ever made. To this day it feels weird, futuristic and unlike anything else!

Dude, the quality of this video is just incredible

When people ask me why I love the Beatles? They make me happy

Ages of the Beatles in 1967 George Harrison - 24 years old Paul McCartney - 25 years old John Lennon - 27 years old Ringo Starr - 27 years old

The part which always gets me is definately "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". That's just absolute perfection in my opinion.

*When you're on your way to Strawberry Field but you stumble across Mushroom Field first:*

Here in 2024, love this more than I did 50 years ago!

The music of the Beatles is like wine: the more time passes, the better it is.

girl: “i don’t know why i’m still single. my standards aren’t even that high. “ *her standards:*

The quality of this video is amazing

When I was 17 years old, I listened to this song for the first time. It was shocking and impressive. After 20 years, I still feel the same and have a great memory of my life. Amazing! Sweet and bitter like a strawberry

May you Rest In Peace Lennon you hold a special place in everyone’s heart

Some people say Ringo wasn't even the best drummer in The Beatles. Listen to this fine piece of art. Ringo plays with magic wands.

I am here because of RINGO STAR's FACEBOOK POST. "Tuesday, 8 December 1980 we all had to say goodbye to John peace and love John. I’m asking Every music radio station in the world sometime today play Strawberry Fields Forever. Peace and love. 😎✌️🌟❤️🎶🎼💝☮️" - Ringo

One of the greatest pieces of music ever written and recorded🙏. I remember when it was first played on the radio. "Whoa, is that the Beatles?" Incredible, deep, like nothing else in music! Still, still.

psychologist: all dreams have meaning my dream:

John and George didn't die, they just went to strawberry fields forever.

To me this song feels as fresh as if it was written yesterday

The song is 57 years old, respect!

that one kid on the zoom meeting: 2:56

I was in NYC in Dec 2000, on the 20th anniversary of John's murder, because my sister was there, dying of breast cancer. I was in her hospital room that afternoon, when it came on the tv that there was to be a huge celebration. She & I were 2 of the little kids in Feb 1964 who sat in front of the tv to see The Beatles on Ed Sullivan. The first concert we ever went to was The Beatles, in Memphis, August 19, 1966, four days before her 13th birthday. I was 9. In 2000, she was in and out of consciousness, the cancer had spread to her brain, but when she heard 'Strawberry Fields' and that people were gathering to honor John, she bolted up in her bed and ordered me to go. I didn't want to leave her, I knew she was very close to death. But, big sisters, you know... I went to Strawberry Fields in Central Park and it was amazing. So much love, such a feeling of the best of humanity, surrounded by so many people, strangers, but everyone peaceful, laughing, smiling, singing, crying. I have my sister to thank for so many things, and this was one of them. RIP Lynda. I love you.

A lot of people can hit a high note, but few can hit a note high.

Powerful and provactive in Stawberry Fields Forever. - With all my heart hope it never fades away❤.

”Living is easy with eyes closed, missunderstanding all you see”

My 6th grade teacher had us analyze this song as an English writing project. She was a cool teacher.

I genuinely heard this song for the first time today, and musically it's one of the most impressive songs I've ever heard. The verse melody is so damn good and the arrangement is nuts. Grabs your attention in a full nelson and never lets go.

Greatest and most unique song and production in music history. Change my mind... 👇

Friend: I dreamed that I was dating my crush! My dreams:

Imagine hearing this on the radio for the first time in 1967…

The Beatles forever ❤️

Forget writing. This is a masterpiece of mixing/production

'living is easy with eyes closed misunderstanding all you see' Such a genius line and it gets more true as time goes on

“No one I think is in my tree” Paul: Reality is often disappointing

John: "no one I think is in my tree" * *Paul literally above the tree* *

I grew up in the 90's and this reminds me of my teenage years. The Beatles were truly the first band I listened on repeat to.

Queen : " we made the first music video" Beatles : "hold my LSD"

*THIS LOOKS LIKE IT WAS MADE TODAY* [edit:] I’m just so surprised by the quality and creativity of the Beatles. It’s really something to appreciate

"Livin' is easy with eyes closed" The best line from a Beatles' song ever. Period.

Happy 82nd birthday Paul McCartney🎉❤️

Who needs drugs to feel high when we have this masterpiece

Let's just agree on this. Beatles never get old

They became the most successful, most influential and greatest band in history in a span of just 7 years. They raised the bar way too high.

Such a masterful composition and an incredible feat of production. You can break the song down and play it conventionally but it won't have that same dreamlike, otherworldly quality that the recorded version does. The Beatles and George Martin were pioneers when it came to using the studio as an instrument unto itself.

Ringo has such a cool feel. He really knows how to make a beat.

One of the 5 best Beatles' songs, and great, tasteful drumming by Ringo.

I hope my electricity bill isn’t high this month My electricity bill:

"It's getting hard to be someone, but it all works out" 🎶

Car driving past: 'What's that?' 'It's a piano tied to a tree and the Beatles jumping around like rabbits'

This footage looks better than the camera on my iPhone

this song gives me nostalgia from i time i wasn't even born in.

For those wondering why it’s so pristine: film is insanely high quality, I think the equivalent is something like an 80 megapixel camera. They hold so much detail just from scanning film

I think Ringo's performance is exceptional. Even though he was in the greatest band of all time, he was an underrated drummer.

My sister: Mt. Everest isn’t that high Mt. Everest:

Cameramen: Okay, John, you’re in charge. How insane do you want this to be? John: *y e s*

“Are people still listening to this in..” ,yes we are
