John Lennon’s song, “Yesterday”, is one of his most famous. John had said that this song should be recorded as it was and not to make any changes in the recording process because he felt if they were made then it would lose its feel and charm. John also said that “Yesterday” could have been a beautiful poem, but instead John Lennon made it into a beautiful song. John’s strong belief in this statement is what makes the music so different from other kinds of songs. John arranged this song with such powerful and haunting lyrics that every lyric has its own meaning, something that John had never done before, but it only made his audience all the more intrigued to find out what his lyrics really mean. John’s brilliance is also what made the song so haunting, as he truly captured the feeling of being lost in a world where you don’t quite belong. John’s original version of this song was recorded with just his acoustic guitar and an electric guitar played by George Harrison. John performed this same time on many other occasions, not only during his John Lennon and Plastic Ono Band period, but John also performed this song during a surprise performance in a small club where John invited John and Yoko to meet him.
All in all, John Lennon said that this song was the closest he ever got to perfection. This is why John Lennon’s “Yesterday” Piano Sheet Music is so important.
