In this Beatles lecture series, we are looking at Yesterday, a song built around the longing to return to a past that can’t be recovered. We examine how the lyrics move from a changed world, to a changed self, to a broken relationship, and how the music supports this emotional weight.We also explore the melody, harmony, form, and George Martin’s string arrangement and how they work together to create the song’s sense of nostalgia and loss. A new lecture series feature, we explore George Martin's handwritten score note by note to discover the subtle details that give Yesterday its character.
