Ben Harper ~ Strawberry Fields Forever

[Gasti990]

I Am Sam ♥

[jaspurr77]

It's easy McGrady Brendan because there are absolutes in nature and music being one expression of nature it's easier to delineate the best expression of form and content ..thats evolution ..This is completely abhorrent If you like this over the Beatles even if you don't like the Beatles demonstrates a clear misunderstanding of objective perception. Even if you didnt like the Beatles it should be objectively clear that this is so inferior as not to be fit for creation.Yourlost

[SaraMUSt]

@jaspurr77 And by using such a word as abhorrent, to describe disgust...you claim to have the greater knowledge about music and all that is to know...? (sowwy, just being sarcastic) You seem very deep, I'll give you that, and then just hope that we'll ALL settle with the fact that "All You Need is LOVE" and dance along with the blue meanies.[;

[NickrophobicDrums]

hate to say it but this is better than the beatles version

[yurismir1]

@NickrophobicDrums Yeah I agree. But you kind of feel like you're not aloud to say that around all of these Beatle worshipers.

[mynumberonechannel]

i think this one is better to, and i dont even know who ben is, i just herd this song from i am sam and i want it on my ipod lol, thats about it.

[Urutora72]

He escuchado varias versiones de STRAWBERRY FIELDS FOREVER, y no temo en equivocarme que la mejor interpretación en COVER para esta BELLISIMA CANCION es lo hecho por "BEN HARPER", me emociono por la linda interpretación, FANTASTICO, IS WONDERFUL.

Saludos.

[PriSsLeduc]

This song should have been called: how to destroy a classic

[bentertainment1]

i cant justify myself to like this personally his voice is too wierd for it

[ChicagoWhiteSoxFan]

1:25 - 1:37 <3

[buckshotass]

good cover song

[askachub88]

@buckshotass it is but I wonder why they used a cover for the movie..

[Demetris83]

@askachub88 The entire soundtrack is made up of Beatles covers.

[Demetris83]

@askachub88 The entire soundtrack is made up of Beatles covers.

[brazodeorion]

A very good version... but I THINK the best version of this song is in the "love" album, the one that compiles the three ones found in the antologies...

[papswolf]

Sounds a whole lot like Cat Stevens of yore. I guess that dates me.

[SaraMUSt]

@papswolf Yusuf Islam

[rowenah14]

@papswolf I agree!

[BigRipzz]

his voice is too gay

[MMAniac76]

I'm a HUGE Ben Harper fan. Huge! But there was a rare and unique emotion in John Lennon's voice that will never be copied or reproduced.

[acnonyx]

to all those who don't like beatles ...bask in your own irony ;-)

I'm not saying this ones bad, but i completely disagree with people who think this can out go The Beatles. It's really not about who sings it better, it's who comprehends it better. And we can all agree that no one can understand more about something than the one who wrote it. This clearly isn't what the song was originally put together for. It's just different.

[SEVFEST]

Only an idiot (or someone that don't like listening to good talent) doesn't like The Beatles Brendan..... that being said Ben did a GREAT Cover . almost note for note, The Beatles version but I really Love listening to it

[vikaslampardkatoch]

The Beatles version was a psychedelic one!! This is not even close to psychedelic!!!

Has to sound different!!! But Still an amazing cover nontheless :)

P.S Dont Compare this to the original... bcoz NOTHING can beat THE BEATLES..!

[fantagorasmic]

I personnally do not like the Beatles, (sorry...) but I LOVE this !!! Thank you Ben Harper!

[ThuSkyline]

Nothing against The Beatles, I love em, but I think this cover definitely outdoes the original. What I really like about Ben's version is that he strips down a lot of the nonsense that The Beatles put into the original recording. I mean, lets be honest, The Beatles, at times, were trying a bit too hard with trying to sound odd.

[McGradyBrendan]

I think this is better than the original. I don't like The Beatles. I love this song when sung and played by Ben.

Key: I THINK.

There is no absolute. This version is not universally better than the original, and the original is not universally better than this.

Honestly, I cannot comprehend how people can be so small minded as to say that one song is better than another as a rule and a truth.

[SaraMUSt]

@McGradyBrendan (without reference to you disliking The Beatles) *thumbs up*

[billj500]

@McGradyBrendan If you don't like the Beatles then you don't like rock. Period, the end.

[McGradyBrendan]

@billj500

I'm not particularly fond of strawberries. I hate all fruit then, right?

Have a nice day my friend.

[tjhghghjh]

@McGradyBrendan you dont like the beatles? man, i feel sorry for you.

[suburbandrudgery]

I love this rendition of this song.

[pompom2001]

I fucking love this. Seriously? Ben Harper is one of the few..what's the word? Competent? talented? I dunno but one of the few who could pull this off without sounding like a div.

[jermane1020]

I'm a Ben Harper fan and this cover is great but no one will do a Beatles song better than The Beatles, especially Strawberry Fields.

But this is a good one. Gotta give that to Mr. Harper.

[rt1957]

Que paveo!!!

[mattyhag1]

This sounds like Cat Stevens.

[FrikShowOhNo]

perfect cover!

[dafairygodfaduh]

This is my favourite cover of Strawberry Fields.

[iXloveXsam]

I get high to this song.

[mildsalsaproductions]

such a good cover. one of my favorites. i think he made this song his own. i wouldnt say better than the original because the original is unbeatable but i dont think you can even compare them. it sounds like 2 totally different songs...

[gigicalifornia]

Beautiful cover

[AndreasFalk8]

better than beatles

[sourpachte]

@AndreasFalk8 i like him but please dont say that agian 

[CriticalTman013]

very good going on top 10 covers

[sim4sho]

i love the ending with the epic strings and mad guitar, jolly good version

[yinzen]

whoever gave the thumbs down needs to get their ears checked out

[2401RP]

me encantha ese video

[TheOneYouNeverKnew19]

i looooove this rendition. loved it ever since i heard it on I Am Sam. :)

[johnmayerlover19]

He did a great job, however I still prefer the original.

[funtasticality]

i hate this version .

full of gayness .

jesus !

[wildgirlz426]

i like this way better

but you cant hate a classic!

[Juliecoolie18]

this is better than the original!!!!!

[nyssar22]

ben is the greatest

[tikalal]

I like the instruments in this far better than the Beatles version. The sound quality is higher and each chord is more fleshed out. I just wish Lennon was singing it!

[jjkmovies]

I love the backing track to this song. Awesome instrumentation.

[GraftonBhoy]

you should hear noel gallaghers version. amazing

[Slevin993]

Just Perfect *_*

[maxaters]

original is better.

[BennyTheGun]

nothing is better or less better .

it is everytime an honer for the artist when someone interpretate his great song.

[SaraMUSt]

@BennyTheGun Right On~Right On (At least 'bout the honor) ^_^

[GraftonBhoy]

u said it

[deadstrider]

[notlhe81]

[deadstrider]

[coolrayfruge]

Good job! of doing a Beatles cover of this song.

Pretty cool!

[Fjell666]

wonderful (cover) song!!!

But the sky is full with CHEMTRAILS-CLOUDS!!!

[django54321]

I like Ben but 'better than the original'? Really?? Don't think so. It is nice to hear a Beatles cover that isn't epically bad though.

[jetterbetters1985]

love love love great covers to the songs i love, and I love this song so much. ben harper just has that voice where he could turn any song to gold.

[TheDivineAberration]

the song was already gold lol

[PerpetualxBurn]

I love the music in this cover but I think Ben loses a bit of the melody that made the original so wonderful. Still a wonderful cover nonetheless! Great movie, and great song. Thanks for posting.

[SaraMUSt]

My pleasure! ^_^

xoxox

[en3mes]

Cover is better than the original

[demonbarber100]

[korrineeex3]

[jetterbetters1985]
