very interesting. I have always thought it would be hard to write songs because every melody that ever came into my head would actually be from a song I had heard before.

Totally off-topic, but did you know that only about 1,000 people contribute to keep Free Republic up and running? That is out of over 100,000 registered users on this site.
What would you do Without Free Republic?

"What would you do Without FR?

How would You Feel without FR?

Suppose one day you tried to log on and Free Republic wasn’t there?

Where would you get your up to the minute news? How about the live threads as things are happening?

How would you know about the latest Demorat scams, anti-second amendment schemes and all the other liberal, anti-American ploys that are tried every single day?

Insight into world affairs, brilliant wit, sharp retorts, instant information gratification are a few of the things that make FR so vital.

How would you keep on top of things without FR?

How would you know who to contact to complain about the lying politicians, Media Bias, Hollyweirds latest mouth off, sponsors of these idiots, company policies that are unfair and all the other things we need to know to counteract the liberal mindset and the evil plans of liberals?

How would you be part of a Freep?

What would you do without FR????

Freedom isn’t free.

If you enjoy the site and find it a place of like minded Americans to sound off, to get together, to fight back, to have your voice heard and make a difference,PLEASE CONTRIBUTE NOW ! Donate Here By Secure Server

Jim can’t do this alone.

The liberals are sure we won’t be able to keep FR up & running. Prove them wrong. Show them we are indeed united Freepers. Whether it is $5.00, $50.00 or more, it all adds up. Please send a donation now to Free Republic.

This is stupid. The two songs have almost nothing in common in terms of melodic structure, and the so-called similarities of the lyrics are a major stretch. They also have nothing in common harmonically, though if they did, that wouldn't matter because one can't copyright a chord progression anyway.

I'm speaking as someone who was a cum laude graduate of Boston's Berklee Collee of Music (arguably the world's best music school) and a professional arranger/writer/performer for almost a decade.

Interesting musical trivia fact about the construction of the song "Yesterday": The rhythmic structure is extremely unusual for a pop song, because it is built on a seven-bar phrase, instead of the more usual eight. Count the bars yourself (4/4 time):

|| Yesterday | all my troubles seemed so | far away | Now it looks as thought they're | here to stay oh | I believe in | Yesterday ||
