Strawberry Fielders.

February the 17th, sees the 40th. anniversary of "Strawberry Fields Forever".  Now, there may be better songs, but this is the one that really opened my ears to what music could be. It was altogether a major shift in consciousness, both for the listener and the band themselves. On it's release in the U.K., it failed to reach the coveted number 1 spot, indicating, a lack of liking for these new Beatle sounds. No Mop Top, I love you and you love me, no cutsy instrumentation, in general, for The Beatles, it was considered a failure.

 

However, this song, is now a part of all of us, within our psyche, as fresh today, as it was then.

 

So, I'd just like to say, thanks lads for giving us this song, and a very happy birthday  "Strawberry Fields Forever" , for this coming Saturday.

 

 

Cheers.
