“Strawberry Fields Forever” remains one of my all-time favorite Beatles songs. Maybe because it’s a bit less happy and on the nose compared to many of their hits. Sandwiched in between “Penny Lane” and “Hello, Goodbye”, it had this strangely attractive dissonance from the first listen, painting a picture of a physical space and an emotional state all in the same breath.

“Let me take you down 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields. Nothing is real. And nothing to get hung about.”
