Hi everyone! Welcome to another post, today for social studies we started a new topic. For this topic, we are learning about Beatlemania, what it is and how it impacted the music industry to what it is today. Our first task was to write about one of their songs. I have chosen to write about their song 'Yesterday', written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney.
Yesterday
The song yesterday was a song from the Beatles album called 'Help!'. The song was written by two members of the Beatles, John Lennon and Paul McCartney and was produced by George Martin. The song is about a heartbreak between two lovers.
Lyrics:
Yesterday
All my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday
Suddenly I'm not half the man I used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me
Oh, yesterday came suddenly
Why she had to go
I don't know, she wouldn't say
I said something wrong
Now I long for yesterday
Yesterday
Love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hideaway
Oh, I believe in yesterday
Why she had to go
I don't know, she wouldn't say
I said something wrong
Now I long for yesterday
Yesterday
Love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hideaway
Oh, I believe in yesterday
Discussion
The lyrics are saying how their relationship was yesterday compared to today. These lyrics represent how something that you have said could have made your lover leave you.
During the 1940s music genres such as Jazz were very popular and were always listened too. This is because of the war, it was very gloomy around this time as the world had just concluded yet another war. So when music such as the Beatles came it was very surprising for some people.
Hi Lyan!
ReplyDeleteThis blog post is great! I really like how you included both a video and lyrics to 'Yesterday'. I didn't know that the lyrics were about how you could have said something different to the person you love, or that is it compared to how a relationship used to be. Why did you chose 'Yesterday' to research about?
Hi Sofia! Thank you for the lovely comment! It was really nice to know that you have learned something from reading my post!
DeleteI actually chose the song because it relates to me, because this has happened to someone I know. Anyways I hope this can answer your question. Have a great day!
Hello Lyan! I really like how you always lay out your blog posts neatly into
ReplyDeletesections like for example you would label certain parts like 'discussions' etc to let the reader know what this particular part of the post is. Really well-made post! Well done! I also like how you included a video. Maybe next time, what you could do is to perhaps include more information of about the band? Anyways, keep up the good work!
Hello Lyan
ReplyDeleteNice introduction to the blogpost, your introduction have good information.
I do think you should make your text a bit smaller it just seems a bit too large when you post it.
