"Yesterday"

Last night, I listened to this interview with Paul McCartney in which - among other things - he talks about writing "Yesterday."  I was thinking about the song this afternoon and realized a small thing about the line "There's a shadow hanging over me."  "Shadow" is sung to the pitches C Bb, and "me" is sung to an A, so musically the "shadow" really is "over me."
