Marianne Faithfull in front of a brick wall

TL;DR:

  • Marianne Faithfull’s cover of The Beatles’ “Yesterday” sounds much more desperate than the original.
  • Her version includes a melancholy piano, world-weary lead vocals, and some heavenly backing vocals.
  • The Beatles’ “Yesterday” reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for four weeks.

The Beatles‘ “Yesterday” has been covered numerous times. Marianne Faithfull, a singer who famously dated Mick Jagger of The Rolling Stones, recorded her own version of the track. Arguably, Faithfull’s recording might be better than the Fab Four’s original.
