I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'carried from strawberry fields?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'soft medley tune about lennon ultimately' is the wordplay.
'soft' becomes 'p' (musical abbreviation for 'piano').
'medley' indicates an anagram.
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'ultimately' says to take the final letters.
The last letter of 'lennon' is 'n'.
'tune' is an anagram of 'unet'.
'unet' going around 'n' is 'unnet'.
'p'+'unnet'='PUNNET'
