It’s late 1966, and John Lennon has just finished recording what he believes is one of the greatest songs of his life. The only problem is that he’s recorded it twice, and he likes both versions equally. One is intimate and spare, a meditation floating in space. The other is lush, orchestrated, almost cinematic. And they’re in completely different keys, at completely different tempos. By every known law of audio engineering, they cannot be combined into a single track. So George Martin tells him exactly. Lennon smiles, turns on his heel, and walks away with eight words: “I’m sure you can fix it, can’t you?” That’s the moment that nearly destroyed “Strawberry Fields Forever.” It’s also the moment that made it immortal. 🎹
