Yesterday
Lennon/McCartney

Lyrics:
Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it look as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday

Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me
oh, yesterday came suddenly

Why she had to go I don't know, she wouldn't say
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday

Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
oh, I believe in yesterday

Why she had to go I don't know, she wouldn't say
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday

Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
oh, I believe in yesterday, Mm

What Goes On? Anomalies

0:19
During the word "believe" there is a squeak, sounds like from a violin string. (Left channel)
0:50
The words "something wrong ... for yesterday" are double tracked. This could be to do with Paul having replaced a section of the vocal -- George Martin said that the vocal was piped as a guide track for the orchestra. So the original and new vocals combine here to double track accidentally
1:45
Right channel, just before word "Now I need" there is a clunk
2:01 * NEW *
Thud, right channel
2:04 Mono only
Strange sound as Paul releases neck of guitar
Note: I did not write or compile these anomalies. Please don't email me with new anomalies and please read the WGO Info page.
