【我的Playlist 🇬🇧🍓】甚麼是真實？Beatles 的《Strawberry Fields Forever》

Added 2025-07-20 23:01:02 +0000 UTC

多少朋友聽過 The Beatles 的名曲《Strawberry Fields Forever》？

任何人到了 Strawberry Fields，都以為會看見士多啤梨。事實上這首歌講述的 Strawberry fields，已經沒有了士多啤梨，只有由救世軍經營的一個小型托兒所。但 John Lennon 的童年，那裏是依然有士多啤梨的，鄰近的孩童都在 Strawberry Fields 玩耍，他在那裏渡過了童年最美好的時光。

Strawberry Fields 沒有士多啤梨，正是這首歌的主體切入點：「Nothing is real, and nothing to get hung about」。甚麼是真實，甚麼是虛假？如果甚麼都沒有，為甚麼又要來？因為那裏有最好的回憶，「Strawberry Fields forever」，回憶，才是真實的。但回憶的內容，又真的出現過嗎？

這首歌創作於1967年，當時 The Beatles 已經紅遍全球，但 John Lennon 開始感覺迷失，不知道自己是誰，出現 identity crisis，沉迷迷幻藥、心靈宗教，這個階段創作的音樂有反思、有超現實，透達了很複雜的人性心理，比起早期 The Beatles 的流行曲有深度得多。這首歌也是 John Lennon 最滿意的 The Beatles 時代作品，因為是他的個人主題曲。

而這類歌曲，都是三十年前不太懂得欣賞，現在才越聽越有味道。

[Mellotron Intro]

[Chorus]
Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to
Strawberry Fields
Nothing is real
And nothing to get hung about
Strawberry Fields forever

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to
Strawberry Fields
Nothing is real
And nothing to get hung about
Strawberry Fields forever

[Verse 2]
No one, I think, is in my tree
I mean, it must be high or low
That is, you can't, you know, tune in, but it's all right
That is, I think it's not too bad
[Chorus]
Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to
Strawberry Fields
Nothing is real
And nothing to get hung about
Strawberry Fields forever
(Two, three, four, four)

[Verse 3]
Always, no, sometimes, think it's me
But you know, I know when it's a dream
I think I know, I mean—er—yes, but it's all wrong
That is, I think I disagree

[Chorus]
Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to
Strawberry Fields
Nothing is real
And nothing to get hung about
Strawberry Fields forever
Strawberry Fields forever
Strawberry Fields forever

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
