Please can we leave tomorrow?
We’ll pack our bags up and leave
We’ll search for a place that’ll help us erase
The things that in this life we’ve seen.

Please can we leave tomorrow?
And try our very best to get lost   
We’ve spent half our lives on this borderline
And I think it’s ‘bout time that we crossed.

I’ve heard someone talk of “New York, New York” but it just seems the same place to me.


Please can we leave tomorrow?
We’ll catch a flight to Nepal 
Chicago, Seoul, Sydney or Rome   
Just one place that don’t feel like home
I’ve heard someone say “check out LA” but it just seems the same place to me.

I’ve heard someone talk of “New York, New York” but it just seems the same place to me.

We’ll run away fast when the morning comes 
This’ll be the last time I make us run
I promise that the next one’s all I need
So please
Can we leave?

Please can we leave tomorrow?
Find a place no one’s been
We’ll keep on the road ‘til we find a new home
One that’s not just the same place to me.

I’ve heard someone talk of “New York, New York” but it just seems the same place to me
I’ve heard someone say “check out LA” but it just seems the same place to me
And all of these towns, cities and roads; they all seem the same to me.

Please Can We Leave Tomorrow

We received some really positive feedback regarding our trial of In My Life, so we decided to pull together a proper recording of it. Thank you. Hope you like it. 

In My Life (The Beatles Cover)

Here's our (remastered) rendition of Simon & Garfunkel's famous duet, The Sound of Silence.

Sound Of Silence (Simon & Garfunkel Cover)

(Remastered) acoustic cover of a great track by Men At Work. We're in love with this song at the moment. Hope you like it too.

Land Down Under (Men At Work Cover)

Time for a cover of a more recent song. We've had real fun with this track, and we love playing it live. Hope you like it.

Pompeii (Bastille Cover)

One of our own again: We finalised this only a week or so ago. It went down a treat live at the weekend, so we decided recording it was a must.

As always, we had fun recording it and we really hope you like it... x 
 
“One more chance”: my most said phrase
Take the pile of broken records, you can write it on my grave (yeah)
I sent the barrel to you, filled it to the brim
You sent it back to me looking rather thin
So I’m gonna take a rain-check, gonna re-arrange
Gonna spend a lot of money, I could use the change

Chorus:
Baby you can leave me
Baby you can hate me
But baby don’t love me

Cry for the “could have beens”, take a look around
Were we ever gonna fix it when it shattered on the ground? (No)
We tried to build a future, tried to build a wall
But the bricks looked dusty, looking like they’ll fall
Give thanks to the good times – know they weren’t rare
I’ll learn to smoke a cigarette that we ain’t gonna share

Chorus:
(No) baby you can leave me
Baby you can hate me
But baby don’t love me

Baby you can leave me
Baby you can hate me
Baby don’t love me

Baby Don't Love Me

Our latest cover, Don’t Stop Believing by the legendary Journey. 

Great ballad. Played at every disco we remember! 

Just a small town girl
Living in a lonely world
She took the midnight train
Going anywhere
Just a city boy
Born and raised in South Detroit
He took the midnight train
Going anywhere

A singer in a smokey room
The smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on

Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching
In the night
Streetlight people
Living just to find emotion
Hiding somewhere in the night

Working hard to get my fill
Everybody wants a thrill
Paying anything to roll the dice
Just one more time
Some will win
Some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on

Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching
In the night
Streetlight people
Livin' just to find emotion
Hidin' somewhere in the night

Don't stop believing
Hold on to that feeling
Streetlight people
Don't stop believing
Hold on
Streetlight people

Yesterday’s Jam (formally 'The Duo') was founded in 2006 when school friends Dan and Tom, aged 15 and 16, begun making song recordings together at home in Ross-on-Wye, Herefordshire. They went on to enjoy continual success playing gigs, Open Mics and music festivals. Shortly after performing at the Limetree Music Festival in Yorkshire in July 2008, the boys went their separate ways to study at university. For six years, Dan and Tom remained in touch and continued to make and perform music in different bands. Reunited again in 2014, they decided to recreate the double act with newfound confidence and experience to fulfil exactly what they love to do – make music.

Please feel free to have a listen to our recordings available here on SoundCloud or on YouTube at www.youtube.com/weareyesterdaysjam – we hope you like them!

Yesterday’s Jam has everything needed to play a fully amplified gig (including a PA, speakers and a monitor) with very little space required to set up. They are also available for the establishment, running and promotion of Open Mic Nights. No previous experience of working with bands or putting on live music is required!
