"Strawberry Fields Forever" is a song by the Beatles.

The song was written by John Lennon and attributed to the Lennon–McCartney songwriting partnership.

"Strawberry Fields Forever" was recorded for possible inclusion on the (as yet untitled) album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967), being the first song recorded for the sessions, but was instead released in February 1967 as a double A-side single with Paul McCartney's "Penny Lane".

"Strawberry Fields Forever" reached number eight in the United States, with numerous critics describing it as one of the group's best recordings.

The song was later included on the US Magical Mystery Tour LP (though not on the British double EP package of the same name).

The Strawberry Fields memorial in New York City's Central Park is named after the song.

Background

Strawberry Field was the name of a Salvation Army children's home just around the corner from Lennon's childhood home in Woolton, a suburb of Liverpool.

Lennon and his childhood friends Pete Shotton, Nigel Walley, and Ivan Vaughan used to play in the wooded garden behind the home.

One of Lennon's childhood treats was the garden party held each summer in Calderstones Park, near the home, where a Salvation Army band played.

Critical reception

"Strawberry Fields Forever" was critically acclaimed by critics, and is still considered a classic.

Three weeks after its release, Time magazine hailed the song as "the latest sample of the Beatles' astonishing inventiveness".

Richie Unterberger of AllMusic hailed the song as "one of The Beatles' peak achievements and one of the finest Lennon-McCartney songs".

Ian MacDonald wrote in Revolution in the Head that it "shows expression of a high order... few if any [contemporary composers] are capable of displaying feeling and fantasy so direct, spontaneous, and original."

In 2004, this song was ranked number 76 on Rolling Stone '​s list of "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time".

In 2010, Rolling Stone placed it at number three on the 100 Greatest Beatles Songs.

The song was ranked as the second-best Beatles' song by Mojo, after "A Day in the Life".

The song is ranked as the 8th greatest of all time by Acclaimed Music.

XFM radio placed the song 73rd in their list of the 100 Best British Songs and 176th in their Top 1000 Songs of All Time list.

Cover versions

The song has been covered a number of other times, notably by Peter Gabriel in 1976 on the musical documentary All This and World War II, and by Ben Harper for the soundtrack of the film I Am Sam.

Vanilla Fudge, the debut album by Vanilla Fudge, also contains a cover of "Strawberry Fields Forever" titled "ELDS"; the album in fact spelt out an acrostic of the song as an homage, with preceding tracks titled "STRA", "WBER" and "RYFI."

Todd Rundgren's version of the song was released on his 1976 album Faithful.

The song was also covered by Jim Sturgess and Joe Anderson for the 2007 movie Across the Universe.

Los Fabulosos Cadillacs recorded a ska version of the song featuring Debbie Harry for their album Rey Azúcar, which was a hit throughout Latin America.
