Which The Who song begins with the lyric 'Out here in the fields'?

Which The Who song begins with the lyric “Out here in the fields”? “Baba O’Riley” does. The opening line immediately places the song’s narrator in a rural setting before the track builds into one of the Who’s most recognizable recordings.

Released in 1971 on the album Who’s Next, “Baba O’Riley” was written by Pete Townshend. Its title combines references to spiritual teacher Meher Baba and minimalist composer Terry Riley, two major influences on Townshend’s ideas for the abandoned Lifehouse project. The song’s famous keyboard pattern was created with a Lowrey organ and gives the recording its pulsing electronic foundation.

A common mix-up is calling the song “Teenage Wasteland,” because that phrase is repeated prominently near the end. “Teenage Wasteland” is not the official title. Another neighbouring fact readers often ask about is the violin solo: Dave Arbus of the band East of Eden played it, turning the extended closing section into one of the Who’s signature moments.
