THE BEATLES - STRAWBERRY FIELDS FOREVER | CLASSIC ROCK ANALYSIS & REACTION

[@musicaficionado2974]

It was very wise of you to choose the audio album version. The video version is very distracting, though it shows the Beatles themselves. People start discussing what is going on on the screen instead of listening to the song. It was good watching you concentrating on the music and absorbing it. Thanks and God Bless!.

[@anironiccoolness]

Idk, it's one of those rare cases that I think the music video appropriately fits the music. Plus, the video has the superior giles martin mix.

[@psychedelicpiper999]

@@anironiccoolnessThe video is nice, but The Beatles were all about the music, and no one was really watching their videos back in the day, unless you caught American Bandstand or Top of the Pops.

[@musicaficionado2974]

@@anironiccoolness Yes. If you are well familiar with the Beatles music. If you are listening to a song for the first time, I noticed how many reactors get distracted and instead of concentrating on the music and the lyrics start discussing how McCartney jumped up the tree, etc. Otherwise, the video is great.

[@musicaficionado2974]

@@psychedelicpiper999 I totally agree with you. My point, exactly. Thanks!

[@kickflipperland12]

Every reactor should never do the video, with any band. You listen to music not watch it

[@louisdellavalle2159]

This song allows me to do the impossible, choose a favorite Beatles song

[@mattparker8809]

I agree, it's an utterly perfect song

[@edgarsnake2857]

Loved your thoughtful reaction to this Beatles groundbreaking classic.

[@alleyeditor]

The band that changed music FOREVER!

[@36karpatoruski]

McCartney songs are masterful, terrific songs. But they are songs. Lennon songs are all the above, but they are a trippy glimpse into the mind of Lennon. The cadence is incredible.

[@sourisvoleur4854]

One of Ringo's best outings.

[@stevedotwood]

Genius and trippy. Lennon did some great ones. Love the lazy dark mood in all of his songs. (at least SOME of his songs)

[@PhiliminizzyReacts]

me too

[@tjrivers]

Still blows me away…just like when it was released. We sat at the record player for days listening.

[@megatronusXZ]

I wish I wasn't born 42 years after it was released 😂

[@jnagarya519]

John characterized the lyrics as "psychological autobiography".

[@westfale520]

When I started listening to the Beatles as a teenager in the 70s, I was always amazed at how versatile they were. Every album sounded different, every album was revolutionary in its time. And the Beatles had the courage to constantly change their style and to be influenced by other musical styles.

[@cjmacq-vg8um]

YAY! you listened to the studio recording rather than the video. that's how you want to hear beatles' songs first. (and most songs for that matter.) the videos weren't readily available back in the 60s and 70s. we fell in love with the beatles' music not their videos. the videos are fine, usually, but watching them takes away from listening to the song. thanks for the video.

[@libertycaps97211]

“I BURIED PAUL.” The rabbit hole commence.

[@top40researcher31]

first time you heard this song i find that hard to believe because the group has been around since the 1960s they are the greatest band of all time

[@DJBilodeau]

Nice job with the research and interpretation of the lyrics! It's key to know in this song that Strawberry Field (no letter "s" on the actual place, unlike the title of this song) was a children's orphanage in Liverpool that John, as a boy, would sit and watch the children play. Great review on a magnificent song. PS-a part of Central Park in New York City, not far from the Dakota where John and Yoko lived, has been designated "Strawberry Fields" in honor of John.

[@davidrauh8118]

George Martin actually spliced together two different versions by slowing down one and speeding up the other. At the very end John is saying "cranberry sauce".

[@bobcorbin3294]

Are you sure it wasn't "I buried Paul" ha ha ha

[@jerrypost9651]

Loved your reaction! Your thoughts are always compelling and analytical in a delightful way. 👍

[@grey1951]

I loved your reaction as you listened to this song! I've loved it ever since first hearing it as a teenager in the 60s. There's just nothing else like it.

[@lindasalvaterra1304]

Again, your expert analysis is incredible. So thorough and detailed!

[@samguberman2288]

Ive been looking forward to you checking out this masterpiece, you face says it all, astonishing track, so many soubds going on and a treat for the ears on headphones. For me its the greatest song of all time. Great reaction.

Philip. I assume that is your name. I see that you are lover of music and understand greatness. That’s why I love your thoughts. They are pretty good eh. Best wishes from Ottawa Ontario Canada.

[@Tony_Stony]

Great reaction not pausing it every 5 seconds 😎👍

[@PhiliminizzyReacts]

Glad you enjoyed

Ah, takes me back- my brother is a few years older than me, and I remember him letting me play the magical mystery tour album. When he went out with his mates, I could just crash out in his room and play a record! Got introduced to a lot of fabulous music - and this was one of my favourites.

[@seerofallthatisobvious1316]

Cran (I). Berry (Bury). Sauce (Paul).

[@mitchellbatchelor1594]

Your first listen is a bit later than mine. Although not released on Sgt Peppers it was released as a single from the LP recording session. Back then the song was like aliens landing. Nothing before released to compare it too.

[@alfredoramirez1022]

More beatles pls

[@Barb5001]

At the very end almost not audible, you hear "I'm very board". Some misheard this and thought they heard, "I buried Paul". This started the false rumor that Paul McCarteny was dead.

[@gettinhungrig2]

It was "cranberry sauce"...recorded around Christmas time

[@Barb5001]

@@gettinhungrig2 That is a complete LIE.

[@MrMarcocain]

Tune

[@akahina]

Lennon had the best voice of the Beatles, the most interesting lyrics, and his creativity was unmatched. This whole album is sadly often overlooked.

[@adamlumani]

don’t get me wrong john was great, but nah be so for real paul clears lol. his range was different, able to hit notes higher & lower than john physically could. both are 2 of the best of all time tho

[@beadybaby]

He buried Paul lol

[@ricardocima]

"Proustian"

[@despinakollas]

Your review of this song amazed me! Your intense visual of the complexity of this song was spot on! Thank you Phillip. Peace. ✌🏼
