Yesterday

(Original Motion

Picture Soundtrack)

Himesh Patel

This is the soundtrack of the Danny Boyle-
directed romantic comedy film Yesterday,
in which a struggling musician played by
Himesh Patel achieves success with Beatles
songs after finding out that almost all of
the rest of the world doesn’t remember
the band. With this album, Patel sings new
arrangements of Beatles songs and some of
his character’s pre-fame material.

FIVE FACTS:

1. The Beatles themselves were not involved
   in the film’s production, but they and their
   families wished Boyle well with the project.


2. The filmmakers had to pay $10 million
   for the rights to use the Beatles’ music in
   the movie.


3. In total, 16 Beatles songs, including the
   classics “Yesterday”, “Let It Be” and “Hey Jude”,
   feature in the film.


4. On the soundtrack, Lily James, who plays
   Patel’s love interest in the film, duets with
   him on another Beatles favorite, “I Want to
   Hold Your Hand”.


5. The soundtrack also includes pieces from
   English composer Daniel Pemberton.
