Hey Jude

Today the song I have chosen is one of the top rated Beatles songs of all time. The reason this is the first song I choose, is because i recently made a bet with a friend. The bet was that I couldn't memorize ten Beatles songs. This song was the one that got stuck in my head. The song's original lyrics were not hey Jude. In fact it was Hey Jules. Jules is short for Julian who was john Lennon's son. John Lennon and his wife were going through a divorce and the song was written by Paul McCartney to comfort "Jules." Later, Paul realized that Jude sounded better and the band seemed to agree. This is one of my favorite Beatles songs out of the 300 written or recorded by the Beatles.


Beatles background:

The Beatles are from Britain, as you may have known. But, even though many of the bands famous in the united states are from Britain, the Beatles were different. They weren't like any other band. Band shouldn't even to be used to describe them. The Beatles actually cared about the world and the people around them. Right is a picture of the Beatles' peace symbol on one of their famous world peace tours. John Lennon was probably the most sympathetic out of the band.

    This is a very good article that I found very interesting. I was very familiar with the song but I didn't know that it was really hey Jules. I also didn't know that John Lennon had a son. Now that I know what this song is really about I feel bad for John Lennon's son because I would feel terible if my parents were getting a divorce. I am also a big fan of the Beatles and I am glad that I learned about them. I am such a big fan that I have every CD that they have ever made and if you would like to write about the Beatles again I would be happy to help you with your article and read your article again.
