My purpose is to investigate how popular music, through cultural exchanges that mark the construction of identities assigned to groups and places, defines connections and boundaries in the urban tissue while showing the paths traced by the musicians who pass through it. To that end, I opted for the formal and contextual study of Strawberry Fields Forever and Penny Lane, Beatles'songs which produce meanings about "places" that gathered memories and identities built on their experience as city dwellers moving from their past in Liverpool to their present (in that time) in London.
