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
cause I'm going to strawberry fields
Nothing is real
and nothing to get hung about
Strawberry fields forever
LONDON (Reuters) - A British children's home immortalized in the Beatles hit "Strawberry Fields Forever" closes on Tuesday (May 31, 2005) after 69 years of looking after Liverpool's disadvantaged youngsters.
John Lennon used to visit the home as a boy to play with childhood friends in its grounds. He modified the name to make it flow better for the song.
A number of interesting recording techniques were used, including vari-speed and tapes played backwards. The first recording used an acoustic guitar, which Lennon was not satisfied with. A subsequent track was dubbed with cellos and trumpets.
