Crap. Of course they can "evolve". It's all down to what musicians do with them. They will "never be folk songs". So what ?
NO YOU ARE WRONG THE LYRICS OF YESTERDAY DO NOT CHANGE THEY DO NOT EVOLVE ,MUSICAL ARRANGEMENTS MAY CHANGE, BUT THE LYRICCS ARE PERFORMED AS WRITTEN ALWAYS. They will never be tradtional songs they are composed material and the lyrics are never changed ,they may be good songs but they are not trad material ,whether you like it or not there isan accepted definition of tradtional
