One of the most iconic songs in music history, “Yesterday” by The Beatles, continues to captivate audiences worldwide. The track, released in 1965, showcased a different side of the legendary rock band, revealing a more introspective and melodic sound.
In a recent podcast episode, Paul McCartney shared the fascinating story behind the creation of “Yesterday.” The bassist and songwriter revealed that the melody came to him in a dream, describing how he woke up with the tune playing in his mind. McCartney's initial disbelief led him to consult his bandmate John Lennon and producer George Martin, both of whom were unable to identify the source of the melody.
