100 SONGS THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING

1967

💥31 Strawberry Fields Forever

The Beatles

Pennystrawps.jpg 1967 saw the Beatles continue to take rock music into new directions, using studio innovations and a limitless creativity. John Lennon came up with the concept of “Strawberry Fields Forever” while filming ‘How I Won The War’ on location in Almeria, Spain. The title refers to an orphanage located in Liverpool. Producer George Martin worked on the track for 55 hours. Lennon wanted to combine 2 versions cut by the group. The segments were in a different key and tempo, but Martin came up with a way to make it all work seamlessly. Both Lennon and McCartney used the Mellotron for the first time on a Beatles record: another innovation featured on the track. The group used it to create a flute-like sound out of tape loops. Issued as a double A-sided single with “Penny Lane”, the song became a watershed psychedelic rock recording and a smash hit.
