strawberry fields forever 1

hi, it's me again, back!

Let me take you down, 'cos I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hungabout.
Strawberry Fields forever.

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.
Let me take you down, 'cos I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hungabout.
Strawberry Fields forever.

No one I think is in my tree, I mean it must be high or low.
That is you can't you know tune in but it's all right, that is I think it's not too bad.
Let me take you down, 'cos I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hungabout.
Strawberry Fields forever.

Always, no sometimes, think it's me, but you know I know when it's a dream.
I think I know I mean a 'Yes' but it's all wrong, that is I think I disagree.
Let me take you down, 'cos I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hungabout.
Strawberry Fields forever.
Strawberry Fields forever.

I  love this song, i guess the music is GENIUS.. really REVOLUTIONARY. i like the arrangement & composition.. i feel the music is kinda separate from lyrics, yet, it gives new dynamic dimensions.. that takes u away. fly u through ur own mind..ur own interpretation!

Listen to the beginning music.. it has a touch of sorrow.. u feel it also kinda saying “I’m so indifferent “ .. giving some sense of flexibility & not caring ..giving an introductory background that says I’m not here to fight or impose this lyrics..i’m just letting out what I think.. & u r free to understand or accept it or not..it’s up to u .. & “ it doesn’t matter much to me”.

Unlike the ending music.. that sounds more angry .. more confident to declare “I disagree” .. more confident to state the lyrics & state “himself / Jhon Lennon ” in a way that seems messy.. & maybe crazy ..”hippie”.

Strawberry Fields forever

I like the idea of having a place or space in ur memory to refer to..it’s ur refugee ..ur comfort zone ..where u r in peace with ur soul, for a nice happy memory, for a feeling of belonging; this is where I belong. This is where I wanna be.

Somewhere I can feel harmony with myself, away from daily foolishness & mess, away from incorrect paths w r forced to take, away from stupid people we have to deal with, away from all the conflicts & fights we have to get through, all the pressure, away from life circus !

Somewhere where u r free to think beyond limits of time & place, imagine, create .. fly!

Welcome to “strawberry fields”

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.

I think in these words he faces – in a very conscious way – the image or profile drawn to him by fame & fans.. like sometimes u feel u r enclosed or locked into the “image” drawn to u by people so as to b “someone”, their “someone “ at work, public, society… sometimes it’s hard to find urself in harmony with “their” “someone”.. maybe in these lines he’s brave enough to declare this fact.. “I’m not always getting along with the “someone” u‘ve drawn for me, yet it’s still ok with me to be him, anyway “it doesn’t matter much to me”..  I’m up there –in some higher level- monitoring how it goes..kinda in control & conscious about it “Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see”.

No one I think is in my tree, I mean it must be high or low.

That is you can't you know tune in.

don't u feel this way a lot..feeling not misunderstood. That u r on another frequency that people can't or just aren't in .. so u r not understood.. u seem weird or isolated.

Why should we all be the same..why should we all be at the same level ?! SAYS WHO?!! Why should we all look through the same angle.. & focus on the same things !! why should I write about mothers & motherhood if it’s mothers’day, or writing about say for ex. Communism in 2011 in USA!! Says  who! Or if u r in a middle of a revolution u r required to write about politics..can’t I write about say ballet ?! SAYS WHO?! Why should we all be on the same frequency , otherwise u’ll b “different” ..different like “weird” “from other planet” “…….”!!

U  may feel this way in some cultures if u listen to classical music while they listen to pop!

We find the music in the background starting close to the introductory one with a touch of defeat or defensiveness, but it goes stronger & more confident as it ascends with the lines.

 but it's all right, that is I think it's not too bad

doesn’t it give a space that’s so liberal. Gives much tolerance. Standing for his right to be different with noble modesty of the genius. I like it.

Always, no sometimes, think it's me, but you know, I know when it's a dream.
I think I know I mean a 'Yes' but it's all wrong, that is I think I disagree.

Here we find some hesitation.. u feel him fluctuating .. is it because of people ? fame?  society? Some inner conflict between what u want to do & what u r required to do? What they want u to do? To gain their acceptance, when u r pushed to self doubting & confusion.. just because u r different or on other frequency !

But he seems to settle to a more rocky belief in himself & his mind, that he knows his mind & essential for imagination & travelling through dream world.

We can feel this in the background music , first confused & sad, hesitated ..going ascending & descending, then settles strong & loud as his belief & stand for himself.

Sometimes for some people dreaming is the only thing that makes sense.

That’s why I’m going to strawberry fields ;-)

That ‘s how I see this great song.. that’s how I feel it myself.

How about u ?
