Maybe that's what Brian was trying to achieve but I don't know what was in Brian Wilson head. Even listening to this track today it still sounds like a song from another dimension.
Usually I get really hyped on a song and play it over and over till I get tired of it. Some song I only listen to two or three times before it wears a little. But "Strawberry Fields Forever" is one of those songs that doesn't wear on me. Imo it's truly an amazing song.
