a songwriter we consider a bit of a national treasure here wrote a song about a hill where strawberries grow... and about pretty girls.. who are crazy but lovely.
this was written in the 1940s so it was not ripoff of the Beatles song about a hill with strawberries on it. one might wonder if it was the other way around...
the song title - translated - is "Tune for Crazy Gals"

this rendition might make your heart melt if you like the sound tracks from Studio Ghibli movies.
Up on Leaf Hill
Memories grow
Only memories
Just memories
All the world's just memories
my clumsy attempt to convey some of the vibe of the song.
it feels like thoughts drifting - the strawberries grow there, and the whole world is strawberries. then it's pretty girls, and they're the whole world. after that, it's tall handsome boys, and all the world is that. finally, the memories grow there, and the whole world is memories.
