    1. I have a really high quality version of it and it jumpscares me every time

    2. But that next pic shows “stud Paul” is all his glory as a young man and thriving artist.

  1. “All music is rehash. There are only a few notes. Just variations on a theme.” – John Lennon

    1. ​@-_–cy8gg God is a concept by which ​ @-_–cy8gg measures their pain.

  2. nothing new under the sun – and that is actually a fundamental feature of music, not a bug!

  3. These days the publisher would have gone to court. A professional testifier would have had an easy job with this one compared to some of the “sort-of sounds a little bit like” cases that have been awarded lately.

    1. Are you daft? George Harrison was sued 50 years ago for My Sweet Love … why are you writing without knowledge or any kind of critical thinking saying that “these days” … and why run away and not come back to comment when confronted with truths?

  4. Answer me is a coverversion of the german song ‘Mutterlied’ of Fred Rauch and Gerhard Winkler and was recorded by the German Singer Rudy Schuricke in 1952.😊

    1. wish people thought this way about led zeppelin instead of just saying they ripped off everybody 😭

    2. ​@JrDelfinioThey kind of ripped off everybody, quite directly. That’s why.

  5. It sounds very much like Waltz in A minor by Chopin. Listen to a classic guitar arrangement.

    1. ‘very much’ ? Nah, there is a bit along the way that sounds a bit similar for a moment, and perhaps the ‘vibe’ is there, but I wouldnt say they sound the same, regardless of the arrangement.

  6. In this case doesn’t the fact that both songs feature the lyric “Yesterday” count _against_ this being the origin, given that the Beatles song famously started out as “scrambled eggs” before Paul worked out the lyric?

    1. I’m well and truly confused. I’ve thought about how ‘Yesterday’ uses the melodic minor perfectly, using the raised notes to suggest the wistful longing for yesterday and lowering them again to contrast with the cold reality of today. I don’t understand how it could have been written originally as a bit of nonsense.

    2. ​@markadams6497Something could ended up being a song about cauliflowers and pomegranates if George didn’t find out the proper words, so…

  7. I think people overthink this stuff .. there’s only so many pleasing note combinations and rhythmic spacings for words and whatever .. you can make connections on stuff that there isn’t even any real connection other than the fact that everybody’s working from the same toolbox, so I think it’s a load of bunk.

  8. More pertinent, I’ve always wondered why Paul decided to pilot a tugboat for this clip from Anthology.

  9. It’s not plagiarism. Clearly just an “idea” of a melody, that might have been vaguely inspired by a musical memory..

  10. “Yesterday” fits perfectly with the chord scheme of Ray Charles’ “Georgia on my mind”.

  11. Also, there was a funky version of that song by Arthur Conley that was popular in the UK around the time that yesterday was composed

  12. based onf this song and Besame Mucho, a song they performed a lot of times early on their careers.
