Yesterday always makes me cry.

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!

I have gotten a beer at a Macca concert during this song.

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!

yesterday is classic....still gives me the sad feeling after decades of hearing it, it' s like saying i'm tired of the Beatles, because i've heard it too much.    i love this song

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?

that's such a pretty song, it does have a sad effect on me too

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.

Charlie, you have such a way of putting things that makes me see them in a new light!! I have a new appreciation for that song now!

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 has  perfect songwriting and perfect voice and perfect guitar, it is a perfect soft song,

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!
