The song that best describes me is “Strawberry Fields Forever”, by The Beatles. The Beatles were an early pop/ rock and roll band in the 1960’s. The early band was composed of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Pete Best, and Stuart Sutcliffe. Stuart left the band in 1961 and Pete in 1962, Pete was replaced by Ringo Starr and the band continued. The Beatles are arguably the most influential and most well known band of all time. They lasted until December 31st, 1970, when they officially split. and the music ceased recording. Between the time they started and ended the group had recorded and released over 200 songs, with even more released after The Beatles had split, making it over 250 song recordings in all. The song was released in early 1966 on the A side single with “Penny Lane” on the opposite.
I chose this song because it defines me due to the memories that have been created from what has happened. “Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see.
It's getting hard to be someone but it all works out, it doesn't matter much to me.
Let me take you down, 'cos I'm going to Strawberry Fields. Nothing is real and nothing to get hung-about. Strawberry Fields forever”. It goes to a orphanage near where John Lennon grew up, he was reminiscing about living near there, playing in the woods, and everyone who he met there. His father and mother had both left him at a young age and he felt a bond to the orphans who would play in the woods along with him.
This song always makes me feel a sense of happiness, a rush of memories to me from the houses and neighborhoods I have lived at. This song is not in any movies that I am aware of.
“No one I think is in my tree, I mean it must be high or low.” What John Lennon really meant is no one seems to be as cool as him, so he must be either crazy or a genius. John Lennon wrote this song in Spain in 1966 while shooting the movie How I won the War. There were two different versions of this song, and John Lennon had George Martin (Music Producer) splice the two to make one complicated version of both. When I first actually heard this whole song I was about 12 years old. It was on the radio, so i stopped and listened to it, after turning it up of course. It was a fantastic song, and I still enjoy listening to it and many other Beatles songs.

I enjoyed writing this because The Beatles have been my favorite band for years, and I was able to learn a little bit about one of my favorite songs by them and the story of it. In my personal opinion learning about this song was fun to do, and hopefully papers in college will be as fun as this (though not likely).
