Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
I've loved this
song ever since I first heard it over fifty years ago.
BONUS - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCHL9b6nBXA - Yesterday - Paul McCartney and The Beatles, 1965, live
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yesterday_%28song%29:
"Yesterday" is a song originally recorded by The Beatles for their 1965 album Help!. According to Guinness World Records, "Yesterday" has the most cover versions of any song ever written. The song remains popular today with more than 3,000 recorded cover versions, the first hitting the United Kingdom top 10 three months after the release of Help!. Broadcast Music Incorporated (BMI) asserts that it was performed over seven million times in the 20th century alone. The song was not released as a single in the UK at the time of the US release, and thus never gained number 1 single status in that country. However, "Yesterday" was voted the best song of the 20th century in a 1999 BBC Radio 2 poll of music experts and listeners. In 2000, "Yesterday" was voted the #1 Pop song of all time by MTV and Rolling Stone Magazine. In 1997, the song was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.
"Yesterday" takes the form of a melancholic acoustic guitar ballad about a breakup. It was the first official recording by The Beatles that relied upon a performance by a single member of the band, namely, Paul McCartney. He was accompanied solely by a string quartet. The final recording differed so greatly from other works by The Beatles that the other three members of the band vetoed the release of the song as a single in the United Kingdom (however, in 1976 it was eventually issued as a single there). Although credited to "Lennon/McCartney", the song was written solely by McCartney. In 2002, McCartney asked Yoko Ono if she would consider reversing the songwriting credits on the song to read "McCartney/Lennon". Ono refused.[1]
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_McCartney:
BBC News named his song "Yesterday" the most covered song in history—by over 2,200 artists[4]—and, according to the BBC has been played more than 7,000,000 times on American television and radio.[5]

“Let
us relish life as we live it, find joy in the journey, and share our
love with friends and family. One day each of us will run out of
tomorrows... Our realization of what is most important in life goes hand
in hand with gratitude for our blessings... Despite the changes which
come into our lives and with gratitude in our hearts, may we fill our
days—as much as we can—with those things which matter most. May we
cherish those we hold dear and express our love to them in word and in
deed.”
- Thomas S. Monson, October 2008(b. 21 Aug 1927) |

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed
so far away!
Suddenly, I'm not half the man I
used to be!
Why she had to go I don't know;
she wouldn't say,
Yesterday, love was such an easy
game to play!
