Yesterday was the first song I heard from the Beatles being aware of it. Perhaps that's why, when people ask me what my favorite song from the Beatles say it without blinking. Sometimes completely convinced and others, regretting a little, but intentanto avoid the terrible decision ... the honest answer, in short, changing every day. The inevitable personal story that connects me to this song is one of those precious stories Geeks you save for special occasions, Christmas dinners. The typical counting gives you after a few (many) beers when one already has stories like Grandpa Simpson , without trying to get somewhere specific. In my house we had mini until well into the nineties, when I was twelve or so. Thus came into my life compact disc, which was then a revolutionary audio format that allowed to pass songs with a button and stating that his records never grated (deluded of us). Faced with the challenge of beginning to build our own family disco, my father (regular reader this blog) sent me to the kiosk to buy the first issue of a fat encyclopedia of rock that kept announcing on TV, and that inevitably came with a gift gives (the mother of the lamb.) Evidently he had bid in the middle. The first delivery, 100 pesetas. What the Kid knew then as 20 hard . A gold coin that did not grow up with the € uro remember as a capital that could be paid from pole to dinner lacoste brand of coffee, drink and cigar. Or twenty hard gums.
As good kid, I showed up at our kiosk ipso facto confidence and returned safely home, bundle in hand. Since at that I lived in a happy bubble of ignorance, I was unaware of the bomb between his hands. Of the nine songs he compiled Gift compact memory recall classic caliber of Hey Joe Jimi Hendrix , My Generation Who of , Roadhouse Blues Doors of , Sympathy for the devil of Rolling , Money Pink Floyd of and, perhaps, one of Santana when he was a good (all together!). Yesterday was the last track. Unfortunately, like almost all other deals that we found in our miserable lives, the thing did the trick. He gives sounded tinny. The term remastering was not common back then, in the dark corridors of the offices of the companies available through fascicles. The quality was similar to that of the black plastic radiocassete in microphone, which may not be plugged worked with eight large cells, in which he had to press both buttons REC and PLAY to run the recorder. In addition, the original tape, I imagine, would be the work of a drugged hippie. And that in the best. So the family joy was not complete. Like many other families of the time never buy the second installment of the great encyclopedia of rock.
The outcome I guess you imagine it. One day I decided to hear the new song , the Beatles. I was never the same .
Yesterday might be considered, no matter who despite the most successful song by the Beatles and, by extension, contemporary musical history. Nearly three thousand artists from all styles Yesterday enumerable have covered since its release in 1965, prestigious Guinness Book of records (Essential reading 2073) so certified. The web Songfacts , for details, notes that at any time this some version of this song is being radiated at some point on the planet. A theory of questionable value and hardly testable (like so many) that actually says enough of this song to understand its significance in the history of contemporary music and popular culture. However, the song was not released as a single in the UK. In the U.S., that for these things as almost all are yours, the single Yesterday, with Act Naturally on side B, was released on September 13, 1965 with the success imaginable. This issue is the last cut on side of the LP Help! In the post we put into this album and we list some of the many virtues of this milestone.
Yesterday was in many ways revolutionary. Starting with the fact that McCartney was the only Beatle to take part in the recording, accompanied by a string quartet. Live, Paul used to play this piece too delicate solo. However, in the recording included in the compilation that changed my life accompanied the remaining Beatles Paul's voice, which changed its legendary acoustic bass. The first time I heard the original version I got a small disappointment (ironies of life), it did not sound like he had imagined. Over time, I've learned to listen as they learn to enjoy the things you love. Yesterday
has extreme significance in my cultural education, as I opened the door to many of the pleasures of that very now and then, I speak on this forum. So much so that it could be considered the master of this house pillar of wisdom is messy and useless shitty inter 2073, list of referenced worldly pleasures and foolish opinions. So I think it will always be my favorite song by the Beatles. And also why the song (The original version can be heard if they click the hyperlink that begin text) is the star of this post centenary.
As this blog no longer has no identity, or regularity, or personality, or birthdays, there are many reasons for celebrations internal. However, I did not want to miss this event numbers and, incidentally, take this opportunity to thank you, my readers (all four ) for your efforts in keeping alive this blog. As they say, will not say names, you're ugly, but you already know who they are. Especially all those who complete my lame knowledge with their faithful and wise comments. No ham in the world to pay their contribution. And also, friends and family who make their comments back to the gallery (some very juicy) and read with care, despite having heard and many of these ditties on numerous occasions. You give life to this corner and you should obey all things that I intend or where I think of my many trips during working hours.
these days throwing a look at this blog yesterday, you realize that at first he succeeded, which had some projection or progression. After the break of six or seven months, nothing has come to be like. But, if I wanted to write more posts, I think this site would not be not so bad. You do not give up, basically, make possible the survival of this space (hopefully in another hundred editions, at least, but it brings us a whole decade.) With a purpose of amendment in the way, you already know that basically costs nothing, I leave you with this youtube tip. Filming in Budokan Japanese version of Yesterday rarity included in the encyclopedia of the balls. Pure 2073.
