In July 2003, British musicologists stumbled upon superficial similarities between the lyric and rhyming schemes of "Yesterday" and Nat King Cole's and Frankie Laine's "Answer Me, My Love"; originally a German song by Gerhard Winkler and Fred Rauch called Mütterlein, it was a number 1 hit for Laine on the UK charts in 1953 as "Answer Me, O Lord", leading to speculation that McCartney had been influenced by the song. McCartney's publicists denied any resemblance between "Answer Me, My Love" and "Yesterday". "Yesterday" begins with the lines: "Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay." In its second stanza, "Answer Me, My Love" has the lines: "You were mine yesterday. I believed that love was here to stay. Won't you tell me where I've gone astray".
Gee I certainly like the outer box much better. But, alas, I have a copy. I can't justify spending more $$ just to get the picture cover. Great video Mark, I appreciate you showing it to us. Cheers Matt
I always buy from all Amazon regions, and I noticed that the French version is like a hybrid version, it has parts of the US version and parts of the UK version. Thanks for sharing this video.
I'm really enjoying these books! For what you get and the quality I think it's really quite a bargain. Definitely something I'm proud to have in my collection. Great video Mark!
Hello Mark, thanks for the Great video due to this video and how the book looks along with the glowing reviews I have decided to purchase the uk version I hope it comes in 2 weeks. Thanks again for the great video enjoy your copy.
Glad I could help you with your purchase. I was surprised how quickly mine came from over seas...and without any damage! Better than my recent purchases with Amazon.
Hey Mark I know it might say no views but I already watched the video about 20 minutes ago and then it went down. I'm going to have to hold off on getting this lyrics book for now but it looks really cool. I put some money away hopefully for more music from the get back series. I've also left you an email Mark.
The super limited edition orange version was part of a competition in the UK, you had to pre order the standard version from Waterstones to enter. I don’t think you could buy it. You might see copies on eBay soon for A LOT of money….!
@@MarkP Ohhh well, thank you very much for removing that doubt! Now, to break the piggy bank and buy it! Oh, and is it true that "A Day In The Life" is credited with most of his lyrics? Or is it pure sensationalism? Does he invest the credits there for McCartney-Lennon? Thanks for answering me!
This is the first time I have really examined the UK book. The CHAOS outer box is really superior! Hey, maybe I can take the US books with the McCartney photos on the spine and place them inside the CHAOS box! Something to ponder. Could this be yet another item that Mark has caused me to spring for?
@@Kate-sx9uh John wrote the melody and lyrics for Michelle's chorus in the fall of 1965. George Martin wrote the melody for Harrison's lead guitar and played it in unison with him. And the French words were actually written by the translator, since it was he who was looking for rhymes. Before the Beatles, Paul only had a small piece of lyrics and a verse. Here are John's lyrics to his tune. As anyone can see, this is the big and best part of the text: I love you, I love you, I love you That's all I want to say Until I find a way I will say the only words I know that You'll understand I need to, I need to, I need to I need to make you see Oh, what do you mean to me Until I do I'm hoping you will Know what I mean I love you I want you, I want you, I want you I think you know by now I'll get to you somehow Until I do I'm telling you so You'll understand And I will say the only words I know That you'll understand, my Michelle
@@Kate-sx9uh She's Leaving Home was co-written by Paul and John. John sings parts of the song that he wrote himself. In addition, he edited and reworked McCartney's text. This is confirmed by George Martin.
@@Kate-sx9uh Eleanor Rigby is a product of collective creativity. Paul's contribution is what can be heard on his acoustic demo. That's all he brought to the studio. The rest was written by the Beatles, their friend and George Martin. For example, the chorus was written by George Harrison. The overall lyrics were written by John Lennon with some ideas from his friend Pete Shotton, according to Pete Shotton.
@@Kate-sx9uh You did not answer the question. How many verses are there in the draft version of the lyrics to In My Life and what source did you use to find this?
Are you planning to get the Limited and US edition? I have the glossy part of my dustjacket on the inside rather than the outside. I'm not sure if that's a standard, but it looks like an error because it makes the cover look like it was printed on regular paper.
I like the slip case much better...almost makes me want to buy the set. I know if I do, I'd read it the give it away because probably never read it twice. Enjoy it. Take care
