“ I woke up with a lovely tune in my head. I thought, ‘That’s great, I wonder what that is?’ There was an upright piano next to me, to the right of the bed by the window. I got out of bed, sat at the piano, found G, found F sharp minor 7th — and that leads you through then to B to E minor, and finally back to E. It all leads forward logically. I liked the melody a lot, but because I’d dreamed it, I couldn’t believe I’d written it. I thought, ‘No, I’ve never written anything like this before.’ But I had the tune, which was the most magic thing!”
Oh I believe in Yesterday.
(Just because Yesterday is one of the most popular songs of all times doesn’t mean that Paul should have taken “You’ve got lovely legs” out of the song. This might have made it even more popular.
Listen to your dreams, Paul.)
