Hey Jude - The Beatles - 1968

Title: Hey Jude Artist: The Beatles Written by: Paul McCartney (credited to Lennon–McCartney) Released: August 26, 1968 (U.S.) / August 30, 1968 (U.K.) Album: Initially released as a non-album single, later included in compilation albums like Hey Jude (1970) and The Beatles 1967–1970 (The Blue Album) Paul McCartney wrote Hey Jude for Julian Lennon, the son of John Lennon, during the time John was separating from his first wife, Cynthia Lennon. The original title was “Hey Jules”, as McCartney wanted to comfort Julian during the family’s difficult period. He later changed it to Jude because he thought it sounded better and more universal. McCartney said he came up with the song while driving to visit Cynthia and Julian. The song’s message — “take a sad song and make it better” — is about optimism and encouragement in tough times.
