Satire | YESTERDAY, n. The infancy of youth, the youth of manhood, the entire past of age. But yesterday I should have thought me blest To stand high-pinnacled upon the peak Of middle life and look adown the bleak And unfamiliar foreslope to the West, Where solemn shadows all the land invest And stilly voices, half-remembered, speak Unfinished prophecy, and witch-fires freak The haunted twilight of the Dark of Rest. Yea, yesterday my soul was all aflame To stay the shadow on the dial's face At manhood's noonmark! Now, in God His name I chide aloud the little interspace Disparting me from Certitude, and fain Would know the dream and vision ne'er again. Baruch Arnegriff It is said that in his last illness the poet Arnegriff was attended at different times by seven doctors. Source: Devil's Dictionary. |

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Yesterday is the title of a 1965 song by Paul McCartney (credited to Lennon/McCartney) and recorded by The Beatles for their album Help. "Yesterday" is the first song recorded by the Beatles that featured only one band member performing or singing on the recording.The song has become the most recorded song in history, appearing in the Guinness Book of Records, with over 3000 released recorded versions by artists from every end of the music spectrum. Artists that have recorded the song include Frank Sinatra, Ray Charles, Dionne Warwick, Boyz II Men and others. The song was named the greatest pop song since 1963 by MTV and Rolling Stone magazine. It is also the song that has received the most airplay year after year.
McCartney, while staying with his friends the Ashers, woke up one morning with the complete tune for "Yesterday" in his head. Although the dream song had no lyric at this point, McCartney was worried that he might be unconsciously plagiarizing someone else's song. He began to perform the song for anyone that would listen, asking them if they had ever heard it before. Time after time, listeners would compliment McCartney on the tune but say that they had never heard it before. In July of 2003, there was speculation that McCartney may have been thinking of the Nat King Cole song Answer Me, which has similar lyrics and a similar rhyming scheme.
For a brief time, McCartney used a nonsense working lyric - "Scrambled eggs, Oh you've got such lovely legs".
In June of 1965, McCartney, while on holiday in Portugal at The Villa of Shadows, finally completed the released lyric about the death of his mother. McCartney recorded the song at Abbey Road Studios two days after returning home. It was the first time a Beatle had recorded a song without the other Beatles, although another version was created that included drums and electric guitars for their live shows.
