During the fall of 1966, when he was in Spain making How I Won the War with Michael Crawford and Richard Lester. A gate outside the house where he was staying had a similar look to the gate at Strawberry Field, and it reminded him of his boyhood.

Who sings Strawberry Fields Forever?

John Lennon sings Strawberry Fields Forever which took six weeks to write. It should be noted that while both John and Paul's name appeared as LENNON & McCARTNEY to denote the owner/creator of the song, the actual writer was generally the lead singer. Classic examples: LENNON - Strawberry Fields, In my Life, Across the Universe. McCARTNEY - Hey Jude, Penny Lane, The Long and Winding Road. GEORGE HARRISON, was usual limited to one song per side per album and wrote many classic Beatles' songs as well: Something, Here Comes the Sun, Tax Man. RINGO STARR made many contributions (including writing) on Yellow Submarine and Octopuses' Garden.


Why did John Lennon write Strawberry Fields Forever?

Strawberry Field was a Salvation Army children's home in whose grounds John Lennon used to play as a boy. During rough times, he would close his eyes, imagining he was there. "Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see." People always take beatles songs, and turn them into drug inspired satires. John called the song "Strawberry Fields Forever" as a tribute to remember all of the Strawberry Fields of the world. The actual name of the children's home was Strawberry Field.

What are some songs of John Lennon?

The general rule with Lennon-McCartney Beatles songs is that the lead singer is also the primary songwriter, though the song could be developed further in collaboration. Therefore, some of the Beatles songs in which John was the primary writer are "Nowhere Man," "Help!", "Julia," "Strawberry Fields Forever," "In My Life," "Revolution," "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" and "A Day in the Life." Some of John's songs after leaving the Beatles: "Imagine," "God," "Instant Karma," "Give Peace a Chance," "Woman," "Watching the Wheels," "Mother," "How Do You Sleep?" and "Happy Christmas (War Is Over)." I assume you're asking about his original work and not his covers, but he also recorded songs he didn't write, such as "Stand By Me."
