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 Whalley, 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 (located next to the Salvation Army Home) every year, where a Salvation Army band played.

Lennon's aunt Mimi Smith recalled: "As soon as we could hear the Salvation Army band starting, John would jump up and down shouting, 'Mimi, come on. We're going to be late.'"

The promotional film it was filmed on 30 and 31 January 1967 in Knole Park in Sevenoaks, and was directed by Peter Goldmann. Goldmann was a friend of Klaus Voormann who recommended the Swedish TV director to the group.

Let me take you down,

’cause I’m going to Strawberry fields

Nothing is real      

And nothing to get hung about

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,

’cause I’m going to Strawberry fields

Nothing is real

And nothing to get hung about

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 alright

That is, I think it’s not too bad

Let me take you down,

’cause I’m going to Strawberry fields

Nothing is real

And nothing to get hung about Strawberry fields forever

Always, now, sometimes, think it’s me

But, you know, I know when it’s a dream

I think, or, no, I mean, or,  yes, but it’s all wrong

That is, I think I disagree

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
