There is no one like the Beatles. NO ONE!!!
You’ve got that right!
the local band from my city look kinda like them!
Facts! They still blow my mind!
Beatles..greatest music act of all time
You never get tired of listening to the Beatles. Because each of their songs is completely different from the previous one..They haven't left any style out of their creativity.❤❤❤❤
The four Beatles were all musical geniuses in their own right, and as individuals they produced world-class music. Together they were pure magic.
What we don't understand we throw the word "genius" at.
@@jnagarya519 In the case of the Beatles, it's really not debatable, but an established fact.
I rarely use the word 'genius', just so you know.
@@kitharley6159 The point I'm making is clearly over your head:
How can a non-genius determine what "genius" is or who is "genius"?
@@jnagarya519 You're making unwarranted and unsupported assumptions. You have no idea who I am or what my capabilities are.
Have a nice day.
@@kitharley6159 I'm calling your bluff -- more, your lack of thought. And you certainly don't address my question.
Why not simply admit the fact: when "we" don't understand a thing but approve it we throw the word "genius" at it.
The Beatles are the biggest rock and roll band in the whole world and that's a fact
The Beatles are the pioneers of music videos.
Thank you! We get caught in the music, nobody was putting out videos or film. Back in the Hard days Night Days!
Not a cover..a beautiful dream of a song. Long Live the Beatles!!
kinda makes you tear up doesn't it? the beatles went from pop to experimental, from ballads to r&r, from psychedelic to blues to c&w, from kids songs to love songs to protest songs. they were forever growing and evolving. and all 4 members were instrumental in this mixture of talent and innovation. and so was their producer, george martin, who encouraged and even helped them on this path. such a special journey, one i will be eternally grateful for being invited, BY THEM, to join. thanks for the video.
This song is a trip to John's childhood...!! The place was an orphanage, where he used to play..., and as he once commented..., he used to go in his dreams..., a portrait, a masterpiece..., made of music...✨🎶💖
The genius of The Beatles also includes the genius of producer George Martin, who was instrumental putting two different recordings of this song together, even though they were recorded in slightly different keys. His wizardry brought it together into this classic tune. Absolutely NO cover of this tune can do it justice. THIS is the version you want to know and love and remember.
Wow, I didn't know that, about him mixing the two versions....that *is* wizardry, for that time. He also did a lot of the arranging, if I'm not mistaken.
@@magicbrownie1357 I met the great Sir George once and asked if he’d sign his In my Life album for me and he gently replied ‘sure’…just a small moment in my life but the one word he spoke to me was positive, which is what the Beatles music was all about …happy listening 🎶
Loved your review. The Beatles invented creative music. It will never be repeated.
One of the greatest songs ever.
Beatles are a miracle❤
When this song was released in 1966 or so, no one had ever heard anything like it. This was probably the first progressive rock song. We didn't know what to make of it, but it led the way for dozens of other artists.
Recorded in late 1966. Released in February 1967. Very much ahead of its time.
Listened to this first time I took LSD. Wonderful Owsley acid on a sugar cube.
Man this stuff was enough speed for me - I remember seeing there first appearance on Granada TV with Bill Grundy - from that day they were rebels.
@@annelizabethcarroll3396 Kid Charlemagne! as immortalized by Steely Dan.
Hi Sarah..... what a great reaction to one of the Beatles greatest songs, imo...... you seemed to really get the full effect of all of it, from the music to the vocals to the the lyrics.... all very unique and if you could just imagine what it was like to hear this in the mid 1960s.... it was really coming from another universe. If you're anything like me you may want to revisit this song periodically for the rest of your life. It's a beauty from a time when the Beatles were just coming into the peak of their creativity and they really took it to the max : )
Good review!
Original in every sense of a word
They were 4 of the greatest singer song writers in the history of music. You are on the start of a great British journey. Enjoy ❤❤❤😂😂😂😂. Great reaction ❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊
When this was first released in the UK it was not on an album but was a single. That was a 45 RPM, that is 45 revolutions per minute, on a small disk with one song on each side. The song on the other side was Penny Lane. DJs on the radio usually played what they called the A side. This record had two A sides! Both songs are superb.
Jonathan Cott, who did the last major interview with John, published a wonderful little book, "Let Me Take You Down" this year about what he says is the greatest single of all time. Jonathan, who is a brilliant critic and interviewer, provides an account of the background prior to the recording, and then speaks with Laurie Anderson, Richard Gere, Margaret Klenck (a Jungian therapist), Bill Frisell, and Johnathan Rose, an urban planner, writer, and musician about their memories, impressions, and interpretations of those two brilliant works. If you love the Beatles, you'll enjoy this thoroughly engaging book.
As Sarah says, "Strawberry Fields" is, paradoxically, "otherworldly" and "so real."
@@terrykilshaw8970 it never even got to number one in the UK, either. It was kept off that slot by either Ken Dodd or Englebert Humperdink, I can't remember.
Sarah you are so delightful ... I think everyone can see it
We share your love of the Beatles. I've been there since 1964 when they first came across "the pond""
That’s not a flute in the song, it’s a Mellotron in flute mode. Paul did a demo with the Melotron in Beatles Anthology many years ago.
Possibly the first time it was used in a recording!
You're correct. When I was watching "Beatles 64" recently, I was stunned by a scene in a hotel room, in which John is placing a melodica. He plays the opening--the Mellotron part--of "Strawberry Fields"! This is two-and-a-half years before John composed the song in Spain, where "How I Won The War" was being filmed.
The LSD years !!!! Just insane !!! What a mesmerizing song !!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yes, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.
My favorite song of all time.
I always hear something new. I LOVE Ringo's restrained drumming.
I heard this "Song" - or Composition rather - as a Teenager guitarist in Sweden, together with a couple of my band members when the Record was just released, and our Jaws just dropped, collectively. Today 57 years later, I'm still Equally impressed, And I can finally Enjoy it also. No longer feeling "crushed" as a pop musician as we actually felt Then, when this Magical Masterpiece from some Otherwordly Galaxy visited us tiny Humans. In Short: You summarized it Perfectly: Goosebumps.
That's The Eternal Gift The Beatles Left for us with their Music, never to be Superseded.
And - I Love Your Reactions, they Take me back to That Jaw dropping Magic day 1967. Thank You Sarah!
Its the greatest song of all time, a feast for the ears.
BEATLES RULES❤
For me, an original English 60's Hippy, this was a great tune, good trip & an anthem for many of us, the Beatles at this time were a spectacle indeed. Welcome to our world. Love & Light.
Great song!!!!!!
Sarah, I love how you appreciate this brilliant music so intensely and with such awe and reverence, especially because this is all new to you. Your reactions help me to hear the music with your ears, and it feels magical. Thank you for that.
I miss this kind of talent. ❤
Top selling musicians of all time.
These wonderful songs are a vision of an inclusive, happy society. It is vision that we need to elevate. Sarah Dengler, thank you for being a part of this future vision. You are making a wonderful contribution. Every Beatles song is a gift of goodwill towards our common future, you are helping us to see that. ❤
Strawberry Fields / Penny Lane was a double A side single, a sort of ying and yang thing. Both places are in Liverpool. It’s wonderful that the young people of today are rediscovering their music. It will never fade away.
This broke pop music forever ❤
Beautiful reaction, Sarah. I love how quickly you fell in love with the song. And you are right when you say it had psychedelic overtones.
When this song was released in 1967, it represented an immense departure for them from most of what had preceded it. Or perhaps it was just them pressing up against the creative envelope they had pushed in their immediately preceding tracks and blowing right through it. It just turned the music industry on its ear, and the fans loved it.
Words simply can't describe the impact these four had on the world ... and their legacy continues, through gripping reactions such as your own. ❤
The percussion is particularly gorgeous with Ringo on drums and a number of Indian instruments such as tablas and dilrubas. I just love it.
I've been listening to the song repeatedly lately after reading Jonathan Cott's book, "Let Me Take You Down," which is devoted to what he believes is the greatest single in the history of popular music: "Strawberry Fields"/"Penny Lane." I have heard SF at least 500 times, but I was never so aware, until listening to it in the past few weeks, of the beauty and the brilliance of the percussion. Ringo is amazing.
Now I've told you Streawberry Fields was an orphanage, listen again... forever takes on a new meaning.
You can’t possibly appreciate this but the Beatles and the stones where the groups who took us from one culture to another. They were rebels, they were the voice of our generation
George Martin didn't create the musical accompaniment, but he did riff directly from the vocals.
I grew up in this era. 60s and 70s. Nothing like the Beatles. So so many incredible songs. It would take you years to cover all their songs.
What is famous about later days of the Beatles is they did not play in concert.
The songs were so complicated that it was very hard to play.
Plus they couldn't hear themselves or be heard because of the crowds roaring.
Perfect reaction..l love your reactions..with love and respect from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤
I used to walk my dog in that park every day! It's at Knole, Sevenoaks, Kent. The same day, John Lennon found in an antique shop in the town the poster on which he based Being For The Benefit of Mr Kite.
Sarah, this is the original.
She knew which was the original and which was the cover. She said she wanted to listen to the original first.
No it isn't
@@wallacesmith7032 What are you talking about? This is absolutely the original. (Source: This is exactly what I listened to in 1967 as a 14yo Beatles fan.)
John Lennon wrote this song. Strawberry Field is a Salvation Army property and visitor attraction in the Liverpool suburb of Woolton.
It opened in 1936 as an orphanage for girls, and later included boys.
Due to structural problems in the early 1970's the orphanage was closed, and demolished around 1973.
John lost his mother when he was 17, while Paul lost his mother at age 14.
Thus they both being rather close in their ages losing their mother, felt like they were orphans.
Strawberry fields is about having those feelings, pretending to be someone else, and all that.
fantastically emotional song, it really does take you down to strawberry fields. Great reaction, a real treat to hear John's voice again, l really miss those boys.......
One of my favorites from them. 😅 Excellent cover and video!!
Someone may correct me, but I mean Strawberry fields was the nickname of a children's home in the Beatles' home town of Liverpool.
This was the field around what was once an orphanage in Woolton, often walked near there about 60 plus years ago. Penny Lane being a bus terminus near Allerton Road / Smithdown Rd (Liverpool)
They changed the musical scene totaly.
Even more astounding was this was done in the late 60s! Nobody and I mean nobody had sounds like this in their imagination as yet.
Beginning with a childhood sense of wonder, it gets darker and scarier, culminating in fear and dementia. This song is simply put: life’s journey. Genius.
Twice at the very end of the song's outro coda, John is heard saying 'Cranberry sauce'. This was a reference to the fact that the song was being recorded over the Christmas Holiday season in Great Britain. The music scene never looked back after SFF hit the turntables and radio stations on 13 February 1967. Fun Fact. For the Beatles masterpiece A Day in the Life, recorded 19 January 1967, John's count into the song is "Sugar Plum Fairy-Sugar Plum Fairy. It is impossible to take this whole song in on the first listen. But you did great young lady, RNB
Other bands have been inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with mqybe 10 truly memorable songs. The Beatles have over 100
Strawberry field was actually , an orphanage for girls back in the 50s and 60s. John live next to the property would, climb over the fence , made the fun of them , and play in the Gardens . There on the property has a iron gate painted red. That was stolen one time ,but was recovered . The property today, is run by the Salvation Army, helping disabled people.
Thank you for your heart felt review!
I think Strawberry Fields was an orphanage. I saw the Beatles live two nights in a row, I think it was 1964? The first night was in SanDiego and the next night at the Hollywood Bowl. Their first song was Help. The opening band in San Diego was Cannibal and the headhunters, with their hit, Land of 1000 dances.
I think, the first time we saw them with mustaches (and beards, in George's case), rather then the clean-shaven early Beatles - The story goes, that Paul, after being killed in an auto accident... (just kidding, it's a long and old story), (actually, it was a minor such incident which gave him a cut lip) had grown a 'mustache to cover his lip injury (wouldn't want the girls to see "The Pretty Beatle" with an imperfect face). When the other 3 saw his new look, they decided, "Hey, we wanna grow mustaches, too!!!". John, who had eyesight problems, decided to retain the round "Granny Glasses" he had gotten playing "Private Gripsweed" in the movie "How I Won The War" (for which he acted alone, without The Beatles), which he had been filmed for shortly before. Those little round glasses soon became sort of a "symbol" or logo for him, and a great many people who think of him, always remember him with those glasses, which he wore for the rest of his life In fact, even TODAY, they are commonly known as, John Lennon Glasses".
Strawberry Fields was an orphanage in Liverpool. Penny Lane ends in a bus terminus.
And Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds ends in a train depot!! And turnstiles!! LOL
So real and surreal.
As a kid I felt the change this song kicked out the old ❤
You actually react, not just summarize. Love that.
you know when they started ,record execs had them covering 50s stuff which did infact produce some big hits. but the beatles said "no more"w"we can write our own stuff and do it better" and over the next 7 yrs they penned some the greatest music ever recorded!
(P.S. - Notice at the very end, you can hear a voice saying a few kind of muddled words...a few years later, a wild rumor became widely distributed, that Paul had been killed in an auto accident in 1966 (hence that "killed" joke from the previous post) after leaving enraged over something at a session. He was supposedly killed going through a red traffic light that he hadn't noticed, and had been killed in the collision ["...he blew his mind out in a car......He didn't noticed that the lights had changed..."] When this rumor occurred, everybody went back over every Beatle record or whatnot, as the surviving 3 were supposedly leaving cryptic "clues" about Paul's death - the words at the end HERE were said to be John saying, "I buried Paul" [John, in fact, later said it was, Cranberry Sauce"]. Others included what was supposed to be John, speaking backwards, saying, "Paul is dead, man, Miss him!!! Miss him!!! Miss him!!!" (my favorite one). There are a bunch of others, just look up "Paul is dead". Anyway, the Beatles supposedly covered up Paul's untimely demise, and found a ringer that they trained to sound exactly like our dearly departed Paul, had him undergo plastic surgery to make him LOOK just like Paul, and had the doppelganger take Paul's place, where no one would be the wiser. And that dooppelganger, whose real name is "William 'Billy' Shears Campbell" is masquerading as Paul to this day (among true Beatlemaniacs, he is affectionately known as "Faul". There are still some people TODAY which believe in the Legend of Faul. Look it up "Paul Is Dead"), if you get the chance. It's funny as Hell.)
@@toddkurzbard this is the guest the I’ve heard this rumour! Wow!
Lovely reaction.
Sarah here is one for you : Boston."More than a feeling" You will love it!
I really like your reaction. I do wish you would expand the size of the video. Looking forward to more stuff
Fantastic reaction!
I believe "The Inner Light" by the Beatles would be a song you'd really appreciate (It's in the same kind of style as "Across the Universe "). This one is a George Harrison composition written around the same time as Strawberry Fields. Enjoy!
George Martin did their arranging and intoduced them to the use of all this instriuentation. John Lennon was a poet who had published books of poetry and he wrote and sang this. It's other-worldly.
This tune was so far ahead of it's time. This was the "We ain't the Mop Top Beatles any more."
This is their LSD Phase right up to Sargent Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band
Those horns. Those drums.
February 1967 was the year this was released. Now subtract that from your birthday. That’s how many years you were not born yet .
I was 16 when it came out with Penny Lane on other side. What was known as a double A side single.
in central park in new york yoko built a spot and called it strawberry fields,,,,every year on dec 8th ( the day lennon was murdered ) crowds gather and sing his songs...most popular is "give peace a chance
❤
Strawberry Fields is an area in LIVERPOOL, ENGLAND. ❤
No drugs here. Lennon wrote this while on the set for the movie, "How I Won the War." He was lonely for the lads and dug deep.
It's heavily LSD influenced and all the better for it.
(P.P.S. - I've never heard that cover before (and don't know the artist), but he was actually pretty good. What REALLY catches my attention, though, is the VIDEO portion. If you're not a card-carrying Beatlemaniac, chances are it might seem like a jumble of random stuff, but to a true Beatlemaniac, EVERYHING there is a familiar reference in the Beatles' career. That I recognize them all is what makes me love the video part so much.
Not a cover but two songs blended together in the studio.
Luv your reaction. The Beatles raised the bar too high.
Very psychedelic and relaxing
Yeah. This is the original. The band was the Beatles. Strawberry Fields was the song.
Les Beatles ❤
You asked after the song... Where did this song come from? From the brain of John Lennon, that's where. He was one of a kind. John could be a bit weird at times. Paul McCartney's brain could have never come up with something like this.
No disrespect to Paul at all, he's an incredible songwriter too. John's brain was one of a kind in the history of recorded music.
Peace ❤
George Martin produced classical records before becoming the 5th Beatle. He also produced for America.
first reaction to actually feel the feelings of the song - 4 out of 11
You’re obviously listening to the greatest band of all time
Strawberry Fields is a real place in London England. The song is by the Beatles. Strawberry Field is a Salvation Army property and visitor attraction in the Liverpool suburb of Woolton. It operated as a children's home between 1936 and 2005. The house and grounds had originally been built as a private residence in the Victorian era, before being acquired by the Salvation Army in the 1930s. The house was demolished in 1973 due to structural problems and replaced with purpose-built units. After being closed as a children's home, the site has continued to be used by the Salvation Army for other purposes.
The location gained worldwide fame following the release of the Beatles' 1967 single "Strawberry Fields Forever". The song's writer, John Lennon, had grown up nearby and played in the grounds of the home as a child. In time, the old red-painted entrance gates on Beaconsfield Road became a place of pilgrimage for Beatles fans. In 2019, Strawberry Field was opened to the public for the first time, with an exhibition on its history, cafe, and shop, alongside a training centre for young people with special educational needs.
The gates were stolen on 11 May 2000, allegedly by two men in a transit van. The gates were sold to an unsuspecting antiques dealer who never realised they were the actual gates from Strawberry Field. He returned them to the police upon request, and they now stand in the grounds of Strawberry Field.
200 miles from London.
Strawberry Field, the place the Beatles wrote about, was in Liverpool, not London.
I'm not sure if you have reviewed it, but listen to "Within You and Without You" from Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club. And then, look up that song performed by the best Beatle's cover band, The Analogues. They may not sound vocally like the Beatles, but they have the exact same models of guitars, keyboard, percussion, sitar, tabla, amplifiers, the Beatles used in their recording sessions.
This is the original.
Welcome to our world!
By now, the Beatles have become a Religion!
I think some people have gotten Grammys for the computer graphics of their videos doing l Beatles songs.
I mean you can imagine how an older generation reacted to this. And, by an older generation, I mean anyone over 30. The margins by which pop (or rock as it was becoming known) was alienating itself from a mainstream audience were getting wider at this point. I think psychedelia (which is still influential) was really the intense creativity of the time crashing and burning itself out.
George Martin was the producer. Often named as the 5th Beatle.
this song still doesn't have a comparison
The Beatles are the very best of the very best. Here we are 50-60 years later in awe of their music and other work. Check out I Am The Walrus for another psychedelic adventure.
I think it is not a flute, but a Mellotron used to simulate a flute.
That was a pretty good cover. That's up there with Aerosmith covering come together.
John Lennon.
One of the greatest recordings of all time.
And it is NOT "psychedelic". It's about his state of mind as a child.
Great.
It’s amazing what George Martin did with two bits of a song that John Lennon got tired of working on
