Hey Charlie Fogle, I came across this on another site an explanation about the song "Yesterday" maybe another reason it's such a good song.

All Good Poetry has METER, if we study the Best Poets in our History , we can identify

the Greek Name their METER has been given .If a lyric has no repetition in the METER

in it’s verses , Know one will remember it . Example from Paul Mac Cartney

YEST er day SUD en ly re DUM da da written in (Dactyl)

followed by ALL my TROU -bles SEEMED so FAR a-way DUM da DUM da DUM da ( DUM da da)

(three Troche feet, followed by one Dactyl foot )

This is where Paul Mac. keeps the listener interested alternating between two different METER’S.

This great example , for me is the biggest failing learning lyric writers have, understanding the

connection between Rhythm and Meter, put simply Line Meter is the measurement (duration) of

each note. Great Song Lyrics, like good Poetry all have Interesting Meter.

I'm not an expert of poetry, maybe it makes sense to you. But the guy's a pretty good musician who posted it.
