Hey Jude
By peace | December 17, 2006
“Hey Jude” is a ballad recorded by The Beatles at Trident Studios. It was written by Paul McCartney but credited to Lennon-McCartney and originally written for the The Beatles album (also known unofficially as The White Album), but was released instead as a single. Despite the song’s length at seven minutes, eleven seconds, it lasted two weeks as number one in the British charts. Due to concerns among American radio stations about the length, a shortened version was also released, which spent nine weeks as number one in the United States — the longest spell at the top of the American charts a Beatles single ever made. Although it has often been claimed[1] that “Hey Jude” was The Beatles’ best-selling single, in reality, that record is held by “I Want to Hold Your Hand”.
The song, originally titled “Hey Jules”, was written by McCartney to comfort John Lennon’s son Julian when John Lennon and his first wife, Cynthia Powell, were divorced. The song and its single release have made many “Best of…” lists compiled by magazines such as Rolling Stone and other media outlets.
Hey Jude Song Lyrics
Lennon/McCartney
Hey, Jude, don’t make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better
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 any time you feel the pain, hey, Jude, refrain
Don’t carry the world upon your shoulders
Well don’t you know that its a fool who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder
Hey, Jude! Don’t let her 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 into your heart
Then you can start to make it better
