Imagine being part of beatlemania in the mid 60s, seeing your favorite band, that once started with simple but charming love songs, and got the crowd allured. You continue on with this boyband, you expect the craze to eventually die down, but with each album, they just evolve and evolve, mature alongside you. You expect to eventually grow out of the innocence, but then one fateful day in 1965 occurs, and you hear this song. The feel-good, simple, yet powerful attachment you once had to this band now just evolved into something different, slowly but surely you realize that these aren't just a silly music group you're attached to. No, you confidently realise they're genuinely the finest artists of the generation, and they will never disappear; their legacy will last forever. They no longer just made your "favorite" songs, they made the best songs you say you have ever heard.
Probably the good quality black and white footage with the beautiful sound mix of this performance, that guitar sounds incredibly clear and well mixed with the strings behind and his crystal clear voice, also notice he’s so talented and focused he is following this backing track (strings) without a click track, gosh such a talented human being
It would NEVER top the charts nowadays. I hate saying stuff like this, because it makes me sound like an old asshole, but all that tops the charts nowadays are songs with no real thought or talent put into them. Just a mediocre beat.

I used to sing this with one of my dementia patients at bedtime. She couldn't sting a simple sentence together, yet she could sing all the words perfectly.
Schmutzgreifer thank you for taking care of these people. my grandma has dementia and it’s so sad to see her go through it. i watch her daily but i need to thank you personally for doing the job you do because i understand how hard it can be. again, thank you.
Schmutzgreifer, First, Thank You for caring for these people. I imagine it is both difficult and rewarding. Also would like to tell you my perspective. I had a dear lady friend that I hadn't seen in many years. I was contacted by her sister and told she was in a nursing home with dementia and failing health. When I met the sister prior to my visit I was told to not "get my hopes up" because "Cheryl" may not even recognize me and that she hadn't smiled in quite a long time. (I would like to note that this girl LOVED her music when she was young) When I walked in the room she broke into a big smile. Then when I put headphones on her with her favorite music (Al Green, Aretha, Percy Sledge) She started dancing in the bed and singing along (every word). It was amazing to see her transformation! For several hours she was lucid and "her old self"....and more importantly HAPPY.
He was so young when he wrote this, incredible. To put that circular thought pattern about a breakup into such a beautiful melody - it's the poetry of grief.
Exactly….but he was not only extremely young, a kid, really, but he was adored by millions and millions of people….but he is so intelligent, and sensitive, still, he is seeing that shadow hanging every second over all of us, human beings. To see that shadow is pure philosophy.
@@VITOLINOBOSS John Williams was 45-years-old when he composed the score for the very first Star Wars film. At an age when most people consider their prime to be long gone, he was just warming up: Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Superman, Indiana Jones, ET, Home Alone, Hook, Jurassic Park, Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan, Harry Potter, etc...
@@Shinyboy29 John actually got annoyed at one time when a restaurant violinist played this song for him since he never wrote any of it. He & Paul just agreed that all their songs in the band were to be credited to Lennon-McCartney.
i know. i remember each Sullivan show with The Beatles and this one from '65 my parents were very impressed. Imagine at 22 writting "I'm not half the man i used to be" ! Not years but emotionally he's half. amazing .
The man was 23 when he wrote this. It staggers the mind. One of the things I am grateful for is I got to live during the time of the Beatles. I was very young. I was not yet 4 during their first appearance in 1964, and 5 when I watched this. I remember this one more clearly. Yep. I was there, kids. When Giants walked the earth.
Lucky. It sucks that the alive Beatles will only be a part of my life for probably like 10 years. I only started listening to the Beatles in early 2019. Wish I could’ve been exposed to their music earlier 😔
@@Adam-qs3lt they made me believe we could change the world. As I said. I was very young. And foolish. The Beatles brought happiness and hope to the world. We shall not see their likes again, unfortunately. In the 70's, I kept wondering who the 'next Beatles' would be. The 'next Beatles' never arrived. They still haven't, 50 years later. And the night John was shot was the end of any of my delusions that we could make the world a better place. The Beatles' story is one of the great stories of the 20th century. It's mythic.
I agree ☝️ Yesterday is the best song ever! I’m amazed by Paul M’s ability to write such beautiful lyrics at such a young age! He is truly an artist 🧑🎨
ok this boy is such a incredible human, he look so shy when he look at him like that, but he's sooo talented, so peaceful, so good. i love the way he just make the fan shut when he started to sing, i love him so much!
Back when music REQUIRED talent. Speaking of talent, imagine fighting those kind of tears while singing with such beauty. The man has great focus and control.
We all have our own favourite Beatle, but you can’t deny McCartney’s pure talent and professionalism.. Life without the Beatles music is unimaginable for me..
@@gangbangerranga3401 Yes. Their songs kinda generic. No wonder Kono did not like them. "Imagine" is the only good song Lenon ever made. Americans made likable musics even at that time.
@Steve Lauria I didn't forget George. He was a musical genius too. The Beatles were lucky to have George. I agree. But I wanted to bring out clearly the two outstanding and unmatched John Lennon and Paul McCartney. And I also do not forget Ringo, who didn't just make his contribution. He was also great. I hope, Paul and Ringo will stay with us for a long time!
Paul McCartney once said that this melody came to him in a dream and he played it on the piano once he woke up before he forgot it! What a sweet dream that was; one of the greatest tunes of all time.
I remember hearing/reading that he thought it must've been an actual song by someone that he'd subconsciously heard & kept asking people if they knew it. Its working title was "Scrambled Eggs" apparently.
There's a Story that JOHN LENNON and PAUL McCARTNEY worked on THIS Together, and it was Iniially Entitled: "STRAWBERRY JAM" As They were Unsure of the BEST Chorus or, as JOHN termed it: "The Middle Eight". Believe This was conveyed in the Infamous "PLAYBOY" Interview that was published in 1980. Not Certain, though. ANY THOUGHTS or Further DETAILS? CURIOUS ... Thank You for reading my Recollections. THIS is SUCH an AWESOME TUNE, and One of My FAVES! ❤ 😂 ❤ 😅 RIP JOHN LENNON & GEORGE HARRISON, Two Greatly Talented Songwriters and CARING Musicians.
I just read recently that McCartney realized only recently that this song was actually about his mother. She died when he was young. It does explain the maudlin tone of the lyrics.
@@jeffreybarkin3177I don’t believe it cause John Lennon is notorious for lying about what songs he had apart of. Just look at Eleanor rigby and in my life.
This song is truly timeless, it is recorded in time where TV still in black and white. And now we are still enjoying it in youtube or spotify on our smartphones with our wireless earbuds.
The crazy thing is that this one was the very last episode of The Ed Sullivan Show broadcasted in black and white. Next week show was the first one in colour...
I've no words to describe my reaction to this video. Paul is sooooo young here. Little did he know what his profound impact on the music world would be. Paul is simply, awsomely perfect.

it's like the same but different yeah but if we consider that they formed on 1957 it's exactly 60 years, but you're right cause beatlemania was a 1964 thing, so I'm sorry
Wait how is this song about his mother? "Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play" "I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday" All seem like break up lyrics to me.
Jeb Kush the complexity of motherly love is simpler and often more valuably attached to a person’s childhood. Hence, the term yesterday serving its purpose both as a reminder of how fast time goes by and implying how futile success in life is without sharing it or spreading the love. “Said something wrong” could be interpreted as teenage rebellion or the lack of appreciation one can grow in their life when they fail to realise and learn from the elderly and wise people. Not to say that it cannot be interpreted as a love song, but if it is written as a epitaph then that’s a beautiful interpretation too.
To everyone out there who gets nervous about doing a gig or performance....At this time in 1965 Paul was literally at the peak of his fame and popularity, yet you can see the nerves here were pouring out of him. Everyone is the same, and if he can do it - you certainly can.
@@kai_johnsonn you're defo not a loser. I have terrible anxiety that spikes up at random points during the day (more closer to panic attacks but not quite) but I have a creative spirit (I feel) being a musician and performing is a very big part of that. Your message just helped a random person a certain way so please dont feel like a loser ever. Much love
Old is gold. I'm 24 years old and I'm a big fan of The Beatles.This song is my favourite and those songs are no less than gold .These are so precious to me and I love you Beatles
Absolutely breathtaking and revolutionary. There’s a reason why this is the most recorded and covered song of all time! It also definitely makes me cry every time I hear it…❤
John Deegan yeah man, exactly. Rip John of course, but Paul was always my favorite. Both yesterday and let it be have gotten me through some really tough times. They are the pinnacle of human song writing ability.
Yeah but you need to be in that realm of study for it to arrive in a dream...and he set the melody to chords when he wasn't asleep...that can utterly change a song
Despite being British, The Beatles are the epitome of the American Dream. They were four nobodies from England who made a name for themselves through blood, sweat, tears and raw talent.
Fun fact:- He got melody of this song from his dream, just after waking up and trying the melody he saw in his dream in piano,and after researching a bit he found that it hasn't been created yet by anyone and he realized it's his own creation (Source:-Mathew Walker)
I’ve been a Beatles fan my whole life more than the average person I’d say… Every once in a while, some new observation will blow my mind even though I’ve seen and listen to these songs 1 billion times. In this case, one thing that amazes me is how Paul never once looks at his fingers to make sure he’s playing the right cords. That’s such a young age. He was such a professional and so well practiced that he never even had to look at his instrument. Mind blowing. I love this man.
Spanish Moustache Paul is literally 77, my grandma is 79 and she’s super healthy. My grandpa is in his 80s and they both have friends that I have met that are around there age. Also the average human life span is 79.
My father died in a car accident last year..I was very sad then, and I felt the despair of life..I'm 24 years old this year, and I'm a long way from getting to society..I heard that my father really liked this song..I went camping a lot with my father..I remember talking about life while listening to this song..I can listen to this song 100 or 1,000 times to recall that memory. I hope everyone doesn't feel hopeless and goes further by doing something comforting.
The Beatles knew about suffering.John and Paul lost their mums at an early age, so they knew pain and anguish from a very early age. They got that into their songs, but the best thing about the Beatles is...they were always POSITIVE!!! And that's what we need today!
And for you, 106264, whatever that means, there are people out here who understand and know what you are going through. And there are people in your community who can help, and want to help. So don't be afraid. Go and talk to them! Please! I can't help you from England. Your own people will help you! Good Luck.
Omgsh I always thought it was a breakup song but whenever I listened to it it reminded me of my dad whose passed😢. It's so beautiful how music soothes your grief even but for a moment
@@Kara_im_cold1:10 you can see his nose running and a tear come from his eye. I thought it was sweat at first but it’s definitely a tear if it’s coming from the eyes lol
I can't wrap my head around the fact that, Paul McCartney being so young could come up with such a powerful song & melody. It astounds me, the sheer level of maturity of melancholy and depth in this song.
Boy it’s gonna be a sad day when we lose this man ...
he'll just be sleeping writing his best song ever y'know
don't say that :(
Yeah when he dies we'll be sad
That's the day I die inside

One of the most elegantly simple songs ever written and performed.

@@Adam-qs3lt they made me believe we could change the world. As I said. I was very young. And foolish. The Beatles brought happiness and hope to the world. We shall not see their likes again, unfortunately. In the 70's, I kept wondering who the 'next Beatles' would be. The 'next Beatles' never arrived. They still haven't, 50 years later. And the night John was shot was the end of any of my delusions that we could make the world a better place. The Beatles' story is one of the great stories of the 20th century. It's mythic.

Amazing tune and sung so honestly.
For me, “Yesterday” is the greatest song of all time. The melody borned of the deepest of Paul McCarney's heart has conquisted many hearts.
I agree ☝️ Yesterday is the best song ever! I’m amazed by Paul M’s ability to write such beautiful lyrics at such a young age! He is truly an artist 🧑🎨
I confess I sing it almost every day.
I agree with you and Paul McCarnty’s heart is as greatful as ours

Imagine is up there too
When the homies aren't around and you can finally listen to non-hip hop music.
So relatable...

True to that

@@gangbangerranga3401 Yes. Their songs kinda generic. No wonder Kono did not like them. "Imagine" is the only good song Lenon ever made.
Americans made likable musics even at that time.
Let’s be real, Paul is one of (if not the) best song writers ever.
John and Paul and I agree. ;)

@Steve Lauria I didn't forget George. He was a musical genius too. The Beatles were lucky to have George. I agree. But I wanted to bring out clearly the two outstanding and unmatched John Lennon and Paul McCartney. And I also do not forget Ringo, who didn't just make his contribution. He was also great. I hope, Paul and Ringo will stay with us for a long time!

Paul McCartney is a LEGEND, and a genius. One of the most beautiful songs ever written!
No doubt about that
And he is still kicking... I never expected him to be alive but i searched it up
Assolutamente
Да она реально очень классная и крутая.
Written in his sleep
Absolutely the very best song written. Ever.
Thank you, Sir Paul.
Absolutely!!
I just love how he shakes his head, contorts his face and sweats even as he sings his song perfectly.
@FarhanAmin1994, Paul was just getting in the groove with the music.
Paul McCartney once said that this melody came to him in a dream and he played it on the piano once he woke up before he forgot it! What a sweet dream that was; one of the greatest tunes of all time.
Definitely a very deep melody, like a breeze blowing from other worlds.
I remember hearing/reading that he thought it must've been an actual song by someone that he'd subconsciously heard & kept asking people if they knew it. Its working title was "Scrambled Eggs" apparently.
There's a Story that JOHN LENNON and PAUL McCARTNEY worked on THIS Together, and it was Iniially Entitled:
"STRAWBERRY JAM"
As They were Unsure of the BEST Chorus or, as JOHN termed it:
"The Middle Eight".
Believe This was conveyed in the Infamous "PLAYBOY" Interview that was published in 1980. Not Certain, though.
ANY THOUGHTS or Further DETAILS?
CURIOUS ...
Thank You for reading my Recollections.
THIS is SUCH an AWESOME TUNE, and One of My FAVES!
❤ 😂 ❤ 😅
RIP JOHN LENNON & GEORGE HARRISON, Two Greatly Talented Songwriters and CARING Musicians.
I just read recently that McCartney realized only recently that this song was actually about his mother. She died when he was young. It does explain the maudlin tone of the lyrics.
@@jeffreybarkin3177I don’t believe it cause John Lennon is notorious for lying about what songs he had apart of. Just look at Eleanor rigby and in my life.

This song is truly timeless, it is recorded in time where TV still in black and white. And now we are still enjoying it in youtube or spotify on our smartphones with our wireless earbuds.
The crazy thing is that this one was the very last episode of The Ed Sullivan Show broadcasted in black and white. Next week show was the first one in colour...

Not sure if those were tears or sweat down Paul's face.
But surely were tears on mine.
It’ll be sweat he was so nervous doing this
Both.
Nice name

Sweat because of the bright spotlights.
I've no words to describe my reaction to this video. Paul is sooooo young here. Little did he know what his profound impact on the music world would be. Paul is simply, awsomely perfect.
I think he was 21 or 22 at this time
@@twinsuns6629 he would’ve been 22 or 23 at this time

And the band actually didn't like that song since it didn't jive, that is why he had to sing it solo.

I like to say that i went through beatlemania 60 years late and damn paul you are awesome
Same. I was -40 when beatlemania hit
Same. I was ~13 when beatlemania hit, but I’m only fifteen now. Still 60 years after the fact
@billy bob joe- nah man this isn’t 60yrs after them performing, it’s actually 52yrs later. They’re old but not that old.
it's like the same but different yeah but if we consider that they formed on 1957 it's exactly 60 years, but you're right cause beatlemania was a 1964 thing, so I'm sorry
wonderful, not awesome
Such a beautiful song

Paul: Sings song for his dead mother
Teenage Girls: *go ballistic*
Inverted Triangle. There’s nothing wrong with the word “dead”.
@Inverted Triangle. how in the cucumber fuck is dead rude
Wait how is this song about his mother?
"Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play"
"I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday"
All seem like break up lyrics to me.
Jeb Kush the complexity of motherly love is simpler and often more valuably attached to a person’s childhood. Hence, the term yesterday serving its purpose both as a reminder of how fast time goes by and implying how futile success in life is without sharing it or spreading the love.
“Said something wrong” could be interpreted as teenage rebellion or the lack of appreciation one can grow in their life when they fail to realise and learn from the elderly and wise people.
Not to say that it cannot be interpreted as a love song, but if it is written as a epitaph then that’s a beautiful interpretation too.
Jaden Bricker everyone’s mother dies at some point. Stop acting like it’s rude!

In this case, one thing that amazes me is how Paul never once looks at his fingers to make sure he’s playing the right cords. That’s such a young age. He was such a professional and so well practiced that he never even had to look at his instrument. Mind blowing. I love this man.

I hope everyone doesn't feel hopeless and goes further by doing something comforting.
Stay strong buddy! ❤
Time heals all bruv, soon these memories will bring only smiles. Trust me.
The Beatles knew about suffering.John and Paul lost their mums at an early age, so they knew pain and anguish from a very early age. They got that into their songs, but the best thing about the Beatles is...they were always POSITIVE!!! And that's what we need today!
And for you, 106264, whatever that means, there are people out here who understand and know what you are going through. And there are people in your community who can help, and want to help.
