The recording of Strawberry Fields Forever was a long and experimental process, and it was this process that left the finished track meandering between the keys of A and Bb major. This odd, microtonal key centre is a lasting reminder of the ground-breaking studio engineering that pulled Strawberry Fields Forever out of John Lennon's head and into reality! 📌NOTE: After making this video, I realised that the plural of "cent" is "cents". I thought it was more like "percent" but I'm fairly sure that I'm wrong about that now. I guess, living in the UK, I've never had to say the plural of "cent" before 😅 Sorry for any confusion!
