[The Beatles] The End


The promotional film for "Strawberry Fields Forever" was filmed on 30 and 31 January 1967, in Knole Park in Sevenoaks. It was directed by Swedish television director Peter Goldman.


Description:


Carlanderska is a private nursing hospital that used to house a regiment. The hospital has a lovely park, which is great for a lazy summer's day. The park is situated on Eklandagatan, just behind Renströmsparken. From the park you enjoy a cool view of Liseberg. It is said that the small hill next to the hospital used to hold gallows. Unlike Carlanderska Strawberry Field was an orphanage, a Salvation Army Children's Home just around the corner from Lennon's childhood home in Woolton. Lennon and his childhood friends used to play in the wooded garden behind the home. John Lennon's "Strawberry Fields Forever" and Paul McCartney's "Penny Lane" both shared the theme of nostalgia for their early years in Liverpool. Although both referred to actual locations, the two songs also had strong surrealistic and psychedelic overtones

The Story:


While shooting Richard Lester's How I Won the War Lennon began writing the song in Almería, Spain in September and October of 1966. The earliest demo of the song had no refrain and only one verse:

"No one is on my wavelength / I mean, it's either too high or too low / That is you can't you know tune in but it's all right / I mean it's not too bad".


For this verse, Lennon was inspired by his childhood memories: the words "nothing to get hung about" were inspired by Aunt Mimi's strict order not to play in the grounds of Strawberry Field, to which the young Lennon once replied, "They can't hang you for it."

Happy Hunting!
