Here, There, Everywhere

For Clay, this is when the Beatles started getting "heavy", 1965:



That one hit the charts nicely.

Let us not forget another nice ballad:

Just remembered "HT&E" is actually Paul's song, and to be fair, I think the one that "crossed 'em over" into massive mainstream acceptance was "Yesterday"



Everybody covered that one. All of a sudden the long-haired little pop tarts were respectable.

Hmmmm.....they got the strings piped in there somehow, or maybe real live strings in the studio? Believe George Martin wrote that part so sheet music would have been available.



So what'd they do when they couldn't have strings?



Paul seems a bit tired in that one, eh?

For them to even try a live "electric" version of "Yesterday" is wild...

Sung to the tune of Yesterday.

Yeah! In general, I can't stand love songs, but that one has always gotten me.

By the way, Emmylou Harris does a nice cover of it:

Sung to the tune of Yesterday.

Coincidentally, I have a bootleg from the "Walls and Bridges" sessions, where John Lennon jokingly sings just (and only) that particular line, except he says "Amputee".
