I can't listen to that song anymore. It's boring. I know it's good and all, but I've just heard it one too many times over the years!

LOL!
That track never did much for me either, I used to skip to Dizzy Miss Lizzy - but I really enjoy playing it on the piano for some reason! Weird huh!

I never appreciated it that much. I very much prefer Paul's "I've just seen a face". To me it's much better.

This song is just amazing. I love it. Used to be my favorite Beatles song, until I started listening to other ones...
But, God, I love this song. It's so sad and so brilliantly made.

Actually, Yesterday is the only song in the world that can make me cry. I don't cry at at sad movies, or songs, anything like that... but Yesterday has a really powerful effect over me. Interesting huh?

It simply amazes me how a young man with everything...money, youth, wealth, fame...at the peak of his powers writes such a melonchaly and perfectly phrased 'older' person's mindset. It was no accident this song turned millions of adults on to him. Not because of the violins but because of the maturity and basic simplicity of what he is singing.
A masterpiece if he had written it now, even more stunning that he wrote it then.

Thank you, it's just what I think of (other than the obvious sadness and brilliance of the song itself).
If I ever learned to spell melancholy I might actually make it to be a writer someday.

This songs a little dull but every once in a while it really gets to me. Sometimes it feels like the most powerful song I've ever heard, others it feels like backround noise. I think it's hard for me to fully appreciate it fully because I wasn't there when this young superstar prtoduced this mesmerizing ballad, it just gets grouped with his others when looked back on 40 years later. A terrific song though.

It actually sounds like a "folk" song. I believe Paul wrote it with an old girlfriend in mind and told her to watch the Telly that he was going to sing her something the night the Beatles were on one of the British music shows!

So very, very well said. Superb observation. I must add that the strings evoke so much too. Very Beatle. Am I right in thinking it was the first track they used strings on?[/quote]
Yep, your right!! It was also the first song that they used other musicians on, other than the boys and George Martin!

I am glad to find I am not the only one who finds it boring, and here I was thinking I must not be a real Beatles fan! In terms of music appreciation, yes, it is wonderfullly written, has a beautiful melody and is sung very well by Paul. I just can't enjoy all that! Maybe because I have been listening to it since I was five and for a five year old it is ruddy boring!

As a senior in high school, there have been times that I
have
said something wrong and longed for the yesterday! Once word gets out about anything in high school, it travels at lightning speed. So I guess even at my age, this song is very great to have around and to listen to if you're feeling down.
On a brighter note, a good portion of my marching band loves this song. If we're singing songs on a bus on the way to or from a competition/game, the minute they see me they'll sing Yesterday and Let It Be.
