"SOLO TE...SOLO ME...SOLO NOI"
"Ahhhh what happened to the world we knew..."
All the songs I sing
are celebrating
their 50th
Anniversary.
Man that can't be so
seems like only a moment
ago
a lifetime now away.
And that would make me
older than them.
And ******* I
guess I am.
And here's Stevie singing
just a month or more
after the moon landings
and hey
that's 50 years
one giant leap for...
And yeah I look like
the old man I am.
Don't know where
the boy I was went.
Time has gone
AWOL.
Left me here between
nowhere and some where
"...we could feel the wheel
of life turn our way
yester-me yester-you yesterday
yester-me yester-you yesterday
Sing with me
solo te...solo me..solo noi
One more time, yeah
solo te...solo me..solo noi"

50th Anniversary of the moon landing and when in Naples heard Stevie singing it in Italian on a passing car radio. Loved the song from the moment it came out(about 2 months after the historic one giant leap)and hearing it now again stuck in the middle of a Naples torrential downpour.
Then in Leicester Square on a surprisingly sunny day( the next day it would pour with rain)we encountered a little busking band in German get-up and a Sousaphone player delighting us with Stevie's Sir Duke and yes Yester-Me, Yester-You,
Yesterday.
Sometimes the past wraps you up in its warmth and puts an imaginary arm around your shoulder.
All the way from the boy Wonder himself from his MY CHERIE AMOUR album. "Yester-Me, Yester-You, Yesterday" was written by Ron Miller and Bryan Wells. At that time, it was Stevie's biggest UK hit.
Stevie was going through some vocal problems and was required to wait before recording a song. Due to this, instead of making new ones, they decided to release songs that he had recorded years earlier, and this song was one of them (it was recorded two years earlier).
