Yesterday is a special piece in Elvis Presley’s repertoire, despite its initial recording by The Beatles. Originally recorded by The Beatles for their 1965 album Help!, the song quickly became one of their most famous works. However, it also became part of Elvis’s musical legacy as he performed the song in some of his live performances.
Yesterday is known for its gentle guitar melody and sweet lyrics about loss and regret. The Beatles’ original recording of the song became one of the most popular and covered songs in the history of music, making it one of the most consistent hits of the 20th century.
Elvis Presley, one of the greatest artists in music history, brought his own touch to this recording in his live performances. Although he didn’t record a new version of the song, Elvis delivered unique and heartfelt renditions of Yesterday during his live shows, showcasing his talent and deep emotions through each note.
Nevertheless, Elvis’s interpretation of the song did not diminish the appeal of The Beatles’ original version; instead, it added diversity and depth to the musical legacy of Yesterday. The song continues to be an icon of pop music and has contributed much more to the music industry than just being a typical song.

Let’s sing along with the 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 hide away.
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 hide away.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm.
