Strawberry fields forever – The Beatles


Song review


The song starts of with an easy melody, followed by the verse and into the chorus. There is an array of beats and sounds and tunes that if you listen carefully you can hear in the background. The lyrics display a psychedelica alones that if one has ever taken the drug perhaps is understandable, and aims to transmit that quality to the listener. As for the music itself, there is a psychedelic symphony that blends in nicely with psychedelic lyrics and background tunes. The instruments being used include Drums and Trumpets and a Sitar, which is used as an Indian psychedelic instrument that naturally produces the effects that is trying to be made by the rest of the instruments as well as the singing. There is subtle changes in tune that allow the listener to feel the music with the subtelties of ones listening abilities. The lyrics display a poetic theme  as in the words “that I think, I disagree”. And ofcourse the lyrics strawberry fields forever that is repeated throughout the song in the chorus, refers to the psychedelic high and the desire to have that go on forever. And at the end of the song there is a period of silence, and then the comeback and the let go.
