View this post on InstagramIn a recent roundup published by Uncut, the team, including Paul Weller, guitarist and principal singer and songwriter of The Jam, picked 30 songs from the music legend's discography, and the results range from “Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy),” “Dear Prudence,” and "Across the Universe,” to “Revolution,” “Imagine,” and “Give Peace a Chance.”
“He wasn’t one of those writers who’d write from 10 until 12 in the morning,” she said. “He used to think of an idea when we were in a plane or something. He just writes it down. And at the time he writes it down, he’s already got the melody.”
“John didn’t have a narrow talent,” Ono writes. “He had all the different emotions he was able to express in his songs. If you want to analyze it, his mum wasn’t around, and his dad wasn’t around, and he wanted someone to listen to him when he was a little boy.”
At the top of the list: “Strawberry Fields Forever.”
“[This] is my all time favorite,” Weller says. “I can still remember when I first heard it on the radio; I was only 9 at the time. I didn’t know anything about drugs or psychedelia, I just knew it was a great, great tune.”
Fans of the song know that the title refers to a real place, Liverpool’s Strawberry Field, a Salvation Army site where Lennon played during his childhood, SPIN magazine shares. But fans might be surprised by the story behind the story.
The Story Behind the Song

For proof, the outlet points to Sheff's book, which shares Lennon saying, “My influences are tremendous, from Lewis Carroll to Oscar Wilde to tough little kids that used to live near me who ended up in prison and things like that.”
