Beatle songs: Strawberry Fields Forever by ric gustafson
While John was acting in a movie in the autumn of 1966, he began to compose a song. He wanted to write a slow talking blues number. Strawberry Field was a Salvation Army orphanage five minutes from his home. On walks with his aunt Mimi, they would walk by this huge Victorian building. The wooded grounds of this place became a magical playground for John and his friends. With his lost childhood, this place became bliss to him. The song was released in Feb 1967
This song and ' Penny Lane' were on a double A side. They were not on the new album. That album was ' Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band'.

Peace and God's blessings. Love Ric
