Heute vor 49 Jahren – 13. Februar 1967: die Beatles veröffentlichen »Penny Lane«

Penny Lane ist ein von Paul McCartney und John Lennon komponiertes Lied der Beatles. Es wurde am 13. Februar 1967 zusammen mit Strawberry Fields Forever als Single mit zwei A-Seiten veröffentlicht. Die beiden Stücke waren ihnen gleich wichtig; keinem wollte oder konnte die Gruppe den Vorzug geben und damit das andere auf die B-Seite verbannen. [Penny Lane, Wikipedia]

Two days after recording some overdubs for 'A Day In The Life', The Beatles spent the afternoon in East London at Angel Lane, Stratford, filming scenes for the video of 'Penny Lane' with Scandinavian director, Peter Goldmann.

Shortly after the East London shoot, Goldmann and The Beatles headed to Knole Park, the grounds of a stately home in Kent, to film scenes of the band horse-riding in the countryside. Around this time, Goldmann and his crew (but minus The Beatles) travelled to Liverpool to shoot the sequences near to Penny Lane.

A few days before filming started for 'Penny Lane', Goldmann shot a promo for 'Strawberry Fields Forever'. Both shoots presented a challenge for everyone involved owing to the Musicians' Union ban on any action that could be construed as miming. Despite these limitations, both the films Goldmann made were so innovative that neither would have looked out of place on MTV a decade and a half later.

"Strawberry Fields Forever"
is a song by the English rock band
The Beatles. The song was written
by John Lennon and attributed to
the Lennon/McCartney songwriting
partnership. It was inspired by
Lennon's memories of playing
in the garden of a Salvation Army
house named "Strawberry Field"
near his childhood home.

"Strawberry Fields Forever"
è una canzone dei Beatles, pubblicata come singolo nel febbraio 1967 insieme a Penny Lane. È uno dei primi esempi di rock psichedelico della band britannica. Raggiunse il numero otto negli USA, ed è stata descritta da numerosi critici come uno dei brani migliori del gruppo.

"Strawberry Fields Forever"
was intended for the album Sgt.
Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
(1967), as it was the first song
recorded for it, 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. It
is one of the defining works of
the psychedelic rock genre and
has been covered by many artists.
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.

LYRICS:

Let me take you down, 'cos I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hungabout.
Strawberry Fields forever.

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 hungabout.
Strawberry Fields forever.

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.
Let me take you down, 'cos I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hungabout.
Strawberry Fields forever.

Always, no sometimes, think it's me, but you know I know when it's a dream.
I think I know I mean a 'Yes' but it's all wrong, that is I think I disagree.
Let me take you down, 'cos I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hungabout.
Strawberry Fields forever.
Strawberry Fields forever.
