While many of the original buildings and structures were torn down in the s, a few still remained including the iconic red Victorian-era Strawberry Field gates — until The gates, which dated back to Warren, were put into storage and replaced with replicas, leaving many fans and tour guides, who rely on Beatle-related income upset.
However, as of this writing, Strawberry Field remains abandoned and mostly decrepit. Thank you for this great explanation. Why is there no comments on that aspect of the song. The bleeding strawberrys on the wall were like bleeding soldiers, etc. The building has now been opened as a museum and cafe, as well as the aforementioned training facility, as of September John was the most prolific songwriter of my youth, and even though I was just a kid, I fell in love with his music.
This song, My life, and Imagine are three of the best songs ever written and are very telling of the young man who wrote them. The world lost more than just a songwriter on that day in December of , he opened the hearts of many through his music. Sometimes he later on instead let the background play an evident melody, while the singer sang on repeated notes. Here we have an interesting parallel to the Opera composer Puccini.
One of many examples there is, in the beginning when the Sacristan intones the prayer Angelus Domini. The orchestra background in combination with his speeech is wunderful. McCartney was also developing the whole time. A backhanded compliment if anything.
Take a listen to Julian Lennons song Saltwater. His uncanny resemblance to his father as time shortens the distance in years between them is beautiful and haunting. Dad is proud!! I bet most people have dealt with the feeling of being different than the crowd — I know I have. The point is, this song has an incredible power to it, a power that I believe will surpass time, which, evidently, it already has.
What a beautiful ending to this thread, Andreas. Thank you all. Thank you Beatles! The height of my favourite sub-genre; psychedelia. Lennon did other great songs of varying styles, but the psychedelic period, for me, was the peak of music in general. Two of my other favourite groups, the Byrds and the Kinks, did amazing stuff during this time as well.
Inventive ideas were being passed back and forward between all these great bands. Ringo: drums George: slide guitar and maracas Paul: mellotron, bass and piano? John: doubled-tracked lead vocals, rythm guitar and piano? Ringo: drums and backward cymbals loop George: swaramandal and timpani Paul: bass, bongos, mellotron?
John: double-tracked lead voclas, maracas, mellotron? The information in ths edition is a little bit confusing regarding all the songs. The line-up says one thing and the recording details tells a different story. Am I crazy, or am I a genius? I seem to see things in a different way from most people.
Blake was probably both crazy and a genius and recorded having visions of angels and said that he saw and conversed with the angel Gabriel, Mary, and various historical figures. Was the I Buried Paul ghost vocal really necessary? Dick Lester offered me the part in this movie, which gave me time to think without going home.
I was writing it all the time I was making the film. It was the closest thing to recording with them, other than my visits to Abbey Road during their recording sessions. I remember when The Beatles first brought in the Mellotron. It was made mostly for producing sound effects but it also had flutes, brass and string sounds on it. The Beatles used it in a way nobody had ever thought of. Latest Comments.

But he accepts that many diehard Fab Four fans might not like what they read. Francis is currently pitching a screenplay based on the book with the aim of seeing it on the big screen.
In the meantime, he hopes that Understanding John Lennon will give people an insight into the complex man behind the music legend. Southport News. Advertise with The Guide. Our video services. Liverpool Wirral Southport Features Business.
