Beatles Hey Jude

 The beatles were a boy band in the 1960s and the 1970s, one of there most hit song that they did was Hey Jude and in the song they talk about Jude. Jude is a reference to a real boy name is Julian the song name was originally going to be called Hey Jules but they called it Hey Jude instead, because they thought it sounded better than Hey Jules. But anyways they were going to make the song about Julian because he was having a hard time at home with his parents. At the time his parents where having a separation so he had some stress so the beatles made the song to comfort him at the time. In the lyrics you can see how they are trying to comfort him for example they say. Hey Jude don't make it bad  take a sad song and make it better, so maybe he at the time Julian was in bad place and listing to sad music so they told him to change that sad song into a happy song. Here are some other lyrics from the song Hey Jude

Hey Jude, don't be afraid.
You were made to go out and get her.
The minute you let her under your skin,
Then you begin to make it better.
And anytime you feel the pain, hey Jude, refrain,
Don't carry the world upon your shoulders.
For well you know that it's a fool who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder.
Hey Jude, don't let me down.
You have found her, now go and get her.
Remember to let her into your heart,
Then you can start to make it better.
So let it out and let it in, hey Jude, begin,
You're waiting for someone to perform with.
And don't you know that it's just you, hey Jude, you'll do,
The movement you need is on your shoulder.
Hey Jude, don't make it bad.
Take a sad song and make it better.
Remember to let her under your skin,
Then you'll begin to make it
Better better better better better better, oh.
Na na na nananana, nannana, hey Jude...
(repeat X number of times, fade)

As you can see in these lyrics they have said hey Jude a lot but the beatles didn't actually write this song, the person who wrote this song was actually Paul McCartney. Paul McCartney wrote it to comfort John Lennon son, John Lennon is another song  writer for The Beatles and at the time John Lennon left his wife for a japanese artist Yoko Ono so the lyrics and song are made to comfort John Lennon son.

  1. Hey Tyler, I am commenting on this post because I have seen how good your post is. I like the fact that you have put a lot of information and facts that we needed to know. I think next time you do this, maybe just add a few of some images of the Beatles and put your punctuation in the correct place.
