The song that came to McCartney in a dream was Yesterday. He kept playing riffs from it and asking people what it was. Since no one knew it, he finally realized that he had created it. Let It Be, was inspired by a visit from his dead mother in a dream, but I'm not sure that the melody came to him in the dream.

Oh yes... the song your Dad remembered that Paul dreamt of, was Yesterday... he had the chords and melody in his head when he woke up and he thought that it must have been a song he had already heard... so he went around asking a load of people as he played them the rough chords... and of course everyone was saying nope, don't know that so it eventually became his song Yesterday. Oh yes... becuase he didn;t have lyrics at the beginning, the working title for the song was Scambled Eggs... Try it and see, sing scrambled eggs in place of Yesterday... it works.

As they generally only had 4 tracks to mix, they had basically no choice but to pan some of the tracks hard left or hard right to create the stereo picture , otherwise it would sound very very similar to mono. and not have the stereo separation. However, vocals were normally in the centre, Rubber Soul was mixed a bit differently.

This was a John Lennon song. You should really check out his songs "Nowhere Man" and "Girl". "Rubber Soul" is one of those iconic albums in the history of popular music. This is the one that Lennon called the "Pot album" and you can really hear it in the contrast of their previous albums.. This was released on December 3, 1965 and in the same day they released a double A-side single "Day Tripper"/"We Can work It Out". Who does that? Especially in 1965. Both songs quickly shot to #1 on both the Billboard charts here in the US and also in the UK. Both are great songs and shows just how great they were. Their song "Yesterday" written by McCartney and was relegated to side two of their previous Lp "Help" released on August 6, 1965 and has gone on too be the most covered song in history with as of now has had over 2,200 artist that have recorded a cover of the song. Let that number sink in for a moment. McCartney actually dreamt the melody of the song one night. He thought he had to have heard it somewhere because you just don't dream things up like that. He hawked it around everywhere around to friends and people in the industry (and in 1965 he probably knew a lot of people) and no one had ever heard it before. Funny how genius can hit some people in odd moments. He was only 23 when he wrote this song. In late 1968 The Beatles were starting have a great deal of friction between them and one night his beloved mother "Mary" who died of breast cancer when he was just 14, came to him in a dream. He loved The Beatles and was very upset where things were heading. She appeared to him and told him you can't worry about everything and just have to "Let It Be". Lennon also has a few songs that came to him in his sleep. He said that with "Nowhere Man" he sat up in bed and made his way over to a piano and it was all there, both the melody and lyrics. That's almost spooky. Peace ❤

Paul McCartney is the 2nd wealthiest musician, and unlike the others on the list, his wealth came mainly from the 19th century when prices were a lot lower, no mtv, no internet, just them and record sales.
