The three songs all came out in 1965 and will always evoke a feeling of nostalgia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYesterday\u201d by the Beatles<\/p>\n<p>There likely isn\u2019t a more nostalgic song, from any era, than \u201cYesterday\u201d by the Beatles.\u00a0 The song is credited as written by Paul McCartney and John Lennon, although Lennon later <a href=\"https:\/\/americansongwriter.com\/the-timeless-beatles-ballad-that-made-john-lennon-resent-his-shared-credits-with-paul-mccartney\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">said<\/a> it was all McCartney.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe worst thing for John was that he didn\u2019t write \u2018Yesterday,\u2019\u201d McCartney <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/entertainment\/music\/1555813\/john-lennon-paul-mccartney-the-beatles-yesterday\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">maintains<\/a>. \u201cI did, and he would get really quite biffed because you would be in New York and the pianist would go and hum the song. That would annoy him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYesterday\u201d appears on Help!, their fifth studio album. One of the Beatles\u2019 biggest hits, the song says, \u201cYesterday all my troubles seemed so far away \/ Now it looks as though they\u2019re here to stay \/ Oh, I believe in yesterday \/ Suddenly, I\u2019m not half the man I used to be \/ There\u2019s a shadow hanging over me. \/ Oh, yesterday came suddenly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYesterday\u201d is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.songfacts.com\/facts\/the-beatles\/yesterday\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">reportedly<\/a> the most-covered song of all time, according to the Guinness Book of World Records. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Sound Of Silence\u201d by Simon &amp; Garfunkel<\/p>\n<p>Simon &amp; Garfunkel\u2019s first No. 1 hit, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/americansongwriter.com\/the-profound-meaning-behind-simon-garfunkels-the-sound-of-silence\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The Sound Of Silence<\/a>\u201d is on both Simon &amp; Garfunkel\u2019s freshman Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M. and sophomore Sounds Of Silence records. The song is written by Paul Simon, one-half of the duo, along with Art Garfunkel.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Sound Of Silence\u201d says, \u201cIn restless dreams I walked alone \/ Narrow streets of cobblestone \/ \u2018Neath the halo of a streetlamp \/ I turned my collar to the cold and damp \/ When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light \/ That split the night \/ And touched the sound of silence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI Got You Babe\u201d by Sonny &amp; Cher<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI Got You Babe\u201d is a feel-good, sing-along song that is on Sonny &amp; Cher\u2019s sophomore album, Look At Us. Written by Sonny Bono, \u201cI Got You Babe\u201d is the duo\u2019s first No.1. single.<\/p>\n<p>A song about only needing each other, \u201cI Got You Babe\u201d says, \u201cThey say our love won\u2019t pay the rent \/ Before it\u2019s earned, our money\u2019s all been spent \/ I guess that\u2019s so, we don\u2019t have a plot \/ But at least I\u2019m sure of all the things we got \/ Babe \/ I got you babe I got you babe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps ironically, Cher <a href=\"https:\/\/americansongwriter.com\/on-this-day-in-1965-sonny-cher-scored-their-first-and-only-no-1-with-a-song-inspired-by-bob-dylan\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">didn\u2019t like<\/a> \u201cI Got You Babe\u201d at first.
