I remember reading somewhere the Paul McCartney used John’s son Julian as the inspiration for this song and that it was originally called ‘Hey Jules’ changing it to ‘Hey Jude’ later as the song developed.
It is one of my favourite Beatles songs and I can never play it or listen to it without being reminded of my mother who died from a very aggressive cancer some twelve years ago now. I still think about her and wish she were still here so that she might have seen my four children and gotten to know them as she loved babies and was constantly on at me and Kerry to get started with the family but they only started to come along some two years after her death. Sometimes in life however we can’t get what we want and perhaps in this case we can’t get what we need either.
This is a great song and no list of 500 great songs would be complete without something by the fab four and so I give you ‘Hey Jude’
Now listen to the song….
