"Yesterday" lyrics
Marvin Gaye Lyrics
"Yesterday"(originally by The Beatles)
Oh, yesterday
All my troubles seemed so far away
Now, I need a place to hide away
Oh, I, I believe in yesterday
Suddenly
People I ain't half the man I used to be, no
There's a heavy, heavy shadow hanging over me
Yesterday, came all too suddenly
Oh, why did she have to go?
I don't know
Tell you, I don't know
The little girl wouldn't say
I must have, must have said something wrong
Now I long, long, long for yesterday
Oh, talkin' about yesterday
Love, love, love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Lord I, I believe now, in yesterday, oh
Well I must have said something wrong
Now I long, long for yesterday
Yesterday
All my troubles seemed so far away
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I, I believe in, I want you to know I believe in
Yester, yester, yesterday

It’s instructive to listen to the two back to back; Willie’s voice is more lived in, warmer and sadder.Remarkably, Gaye would take a huge leap the following year, with the release of What’s Going On.
Linda Jones – Yesterday (The Beatles cover)
One of the lesser known members of the 27 Club, Linda Jones died of complications from diabetes when she was still just getting warmed up.
In 1968, she recorded a batch of songs for a solo record that never happened in her lifetime. Even with a slow ballad like “Yesterday,” she came at it full force, even at the quiet parts. When this is “Yesterday,” I’ll always believe in it.
Any cover song site worth its weight in scrambled eggs has to touch on the most covered song by the most covered band of all time. Après Matt, le déluge – over a hundred covers in 1966 alone, over three thousand covers total according to the Guinness Book of World Records (you get the sense that they eventually threw up their hands and stopped counting).
Sinatra, Aretha, Dylan, Elvis – all of them recorded terrific versions.
In fact, never has the topic “Five Good Covers” felt more woefully inadequate than it does for this song. One of them was “Yesterday”; hearing it, it’s not hard to imagine her singing it in a spotlight to rapturous applause. More than twenty years later, he teamed up with Merle Haggard to record it again, as a follow-up to their Pancho & Lefty album.
Rather than risk redundancy instead of elaboration, I’ll let the Genius of Soul speak for himself, but with his voice and all ten fingers, in this great live version. So now we arrive at “Yesterday” by the Beatles, a song they recorded four days before Paul McCartney turned 23. Many more great ones were recorded by artists who weren’t known by only one name.
Five Good Covers presents five cross-genre reinterpretations of an oft-covered song.
This post has been a long time coming. Meanwhile, Merle’s verses show he knows how to extract a tear for your beer.
Florence Ballard – Yesterday (The Beatles cover)
Florence Ballard was the Brian Jones of the Supremes, the founder forced out too early and gone too soon.
There are a bunch of exclusive perks only for patrons: playlists, newsletters, downloads, discussions, polls - hell, tell us what song you would like to hear covered and we will make it happen. Nevertheless, we persist, and we hope you enjoy these five drops in “Yesterday”‘s ocean.
Marvin Gaye – Yesterday (The Beatles cover)
“I think I like Marvin’s best.” That’s from Paul McCartney himself, so you know this “Yesterday” is going to be good.
If only, if only…
Ray Charles – Yesterday (The Beatles cover)
I’m on record as to why Ray Charles’ take on “Yesterday” is such a key one for me.
