It’s a song Paul McCartney dedicated to John.

Simple guitar-and-vocal numbers are exactly what Paul excels at.

The fact that he can write songs like this so effortlessly is truly remarkable.

I’m deeply moved by his sincere presence as he carefully sings and plays that beautiful melody.

Sign language performances that deliver music beyond language barriers have been gaining increasing attention in recent years.

Released by Paul McCartney in December 2011, this work is a heartwarming ballad that expresses deep gratitude and trust toward a beloved partner.

It embodies his feelings for his wife Nancy, who encouraged him during a rainy trip to Morocco by saying, “It will surely clear up.” The piece is gently colored by Eric Clapton’s acoustic guitar and Diana Krall’s piano.

Included on the album Kisses on the Bottom, it was released in February 2012 and reached No.

3 in the UK.

In April 2012, a black-and-white music video shot on 35mm film was released, featuring Natalie Portman and Johnny Depp expressing the lyrics in sign language.

Recommended for those who want to spend a quiet moment experiencing a form of love that transcends words, conveyed visually.

Once Upon A Long AgoPaul McCartney17rank/position

Paul McCartney, former member of The Beatles.

He’s the kind of artist you’d even find in textbooks, so I’m sure even younger people know him.

Among his works, one that’s especially perfect for autumn is “Once Upon a Long Ago.” It’s crafted as a folk song with a wistful air.

The strong reverb gives it a touch of fantasy amid its mature, subdued tone.

Be sure to give it a listen.

It makes you want to dance on a summer night.

For those in their thirties who want to listen to a relaxed, beautiful song with their partner, I recommend this track, which was also used in the movie “Il Mare.” With its simple English lyrics, you’ll surely be able to memorize it.

Once you can play a wind instrument, many of you probably start wanting to perform a masterpiece at least once, or to play famous songs you know, and go looking for sheet music.

There are likely quite a few people who want to try playing “Yesterday,” included on the Beatles’ fifth official UK studio album, Help!, released in the UK on August 6, 1965.

“Yesterday” has a slow tempo and many passages that climb the scale, so with careful, thorough practice you’ll be able to play it soon.

If you consider dynamics to avoid making it too monotonous, it will come together musically, so it’s also recommended as a practice piece even for those who don’t know the song.
