When John Lennon brought in “Strawberry Fields,” it wasn’t just another Beatles song—it was a statement. And Paul McCartney heard it loud and clear. According to George Martin, that quiet competition pushed Paul to come back with “Penny Lane.” It wasn’t bitterness—it was brilliance. A rivalry that didn’t divide the Beatles, but sharpened them. And in the studio, that tension became magic.
