About the song
*If you’ve ever found yourself humming along to a melody that seems to have always existed, then you’re already familiar with the timeless appeal of The Beatles. Their music has woven itself into the fabric of popular culture, and one song, in particular, stands as a testament to their enduring legacy: “Yesterday”.
Released in 1965, “Yesterday” is more than just a song; it’s a cultural touchstone. Paul McCartney has often spoken about waking up one morning with this melody fully formed in his head. It’s a testament to his innate musical genius that he was able to capture such a universal sentiment in a simple yet profound melody.
The song’s lyrics explore themes of nostalgia, loss, and the passage of time. They are both personal and relatable, inviting listeners to reflect on their own memories and experiences. The gentle acoustic guitar strumming and McCartney’s soulful vocals create a warm and intimate atmosphere, making it easy to see why “Yesterday” has been covered by countless artists in various genres.
One of the reasons why “Yesterday” has resonated with so many people is its simplicity. The melody is easy to remember, and the lyrics are straightforward. Yet, despite its simplicity, the song has a depth and complexity that rewards repeated listening. It’s a song that can be enjoyed by people of all ages and from all walks of life.
Over the years, “Yesterday” has become one of the most covered songs in history. Artists as diverse as Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, and Plácido Domingo have recorded their own versions of the song, each adding their unique interpretation to the original. This widespread popularity is a testament to the song’s enduring appeal and its place in the pantheon of popular music.*

Lyrics
Hey there, Georgy girl
Swinging down the street so fancy-free
Nobody you meet could ever see the loneliness there inside you
Hey there, Georgy girl
Why do all the boys just pass you by?
Could it be you just don’t try or is it the clothes you wear?
You’re always window shopping but never stopping to buy
So shed those dowdy feathers and fly a little bit
Hey there, Georgy girl
There’s another Georgy deep inside
Bring out all the love you hide and, oh, what a change there’d be
The world would see a new Georgy girl
Hey there, Georgy girl
Dreaming of the someone you could be
Life is a reality, you can’t always run away
Don’t be so scared of changing and rearranging yourself
It’s time for jumping down from the shelf a little bit
Hey there, Georgy girl
There’s another Georgy deep inside
Bring out all the love you hide and, oh, what a change there’d be
The world would see a new Georgy girl
Wake up, Georgy girl
(Hey there, Georgy girl)
Come on, Georgy girl
(Hey there, Georgy girl)
Wake up, Georgy girl
