How does the song "Strawberry Fields Forever" by The Beatles make you feel? (lemmy.world)

Just objectively, listening to the song, what do you subjectively feel?

Honestly, annoyed. It feels like they're trying too hard to do... something? So much start and stop, random instruments coming and going. Drums in the left ear!

I like a lot of Beatles' music, but this era is not for me. Rubber Soul and Help hit the spot. I prefer Pink Floyd's take on psychedelic or whatever it's meant to be.

Edit: to better describe the feeling, it makes me feel like being forced on a roadtrip or vacation with parents. Too young to understand or care about the destination, knowing there are an unlimited number of other destinations I'd rather be.
