John was wrong. He did help write "Hey Jude" by making his son's life so miserable that Paul was inspired to make it better.

It’s a classic John move to think that something is about him when it’s clearly not.

Ringo sneaking into the recording studio from the toilet, what a lad.

People say John represents peace. It was the other Beatles that did

I think it’s just for Julian

If Paul’s said it’s for Julian it’s for Julian lol. What doesn’t really match the idea for it being about a 4 year old is the “looking for someone to perform with” and “go out and get her” and I can see that (maybe) being about John, but also probably just words strung together that fit the melody or with the intentions of giving the song a wider subject matter for a greater chance of relatability among listeners.

I've always loved this song and never noticed John's screw up of the lyric 'To let her under your skin' so it was nice you pointed that one out. Also kudos to Ringo nailing that drum part even under those funny circumstances. Just goes to show that he truly is a great drummer no matter what anyone says. Thanks for the informative video.

John was really terrible for neglecting his child for that Japanese witch.

HollyHobs: Talks about George and Paul arguing Also HollyHobs: Shows pictures of George and Paul hanging out and being friends

I always look forward to these well researched videos on the Beatles songs. I really can’t get enough of them. You don’t upload enough lol keep up the great work.

I've been waiting this for so longgg!! Finally!! Though I already knew the back story but just want to listen to your perspective.

This is crazy ‘Hey Jude’ was the first Beatles song I ever heard and it’s funny that you showed that clip of you because that’s my birthday!!

This. 👊Is what I've been waiting for to propagate. Thankfully there's still you. Let's continue to appreciate the legends.🤗

I LOVE THIS SONG AND YOUR CHANNEL 💜❤️

holy crap.. your editing has gotten better

You do such an amazing job as a creator on this platform man. Happily impressed. Also. Great fucking song. All on point. I, myself am a budding creator/ musician/songwriter from Minneapolis. I just want you to know that what you are doing is good and means something to at least, Me. Carry on. - Johnny

When lyrics flow while singing, the writer doesn't even know where they are coming from, because they are coming from the subconscious. John knows this. I bet he's right.

Regarding the change from "Hey Jules" to "Hey Jude", Paul said that he felt that Jules as a lyric was a bit of a mouthful.

I like that you have started adding your own original songs to your videos. Keeps the inspiration rolling forward. Love the little backwards guitar at the end of this one, and it's a beautiful song. Thanks for sharing your work!

I named my two kids, Julian and Lucy!

the clip of you singing as a kid is such a nice clip to include!

Best youtube channel btw.

No no, here's the real story: The Beatles were going to record a new song. But as soon as the tape started, Paul dropped his bass on his foot and yelled: "Fuckin' hell!!!". And because The Beatles were very poor, they had to use what limited stock of tape they had available, so they decided to record really loud instruments to cover up Paul's swearing. But the song they were working on wasn't loud enough, so Paul quickly went off to the bathroom for 5 minutes, and returned with Hey Jude. And everyone agreed that this song was indeed loud enough to cover up Paul's naughty words. But they were wrong. And 50 years later, "Fuckin' hell!!!" can still be heard on the record, clear as a bell.

The short answer is they didnt, paul wrote it

Splendid vid Sir ....and 'Let Me Witness You' is gorgeous btw

I didn't expect to cry today, you've outdone yourself with Let Me Witness. Could you do a song tutorial of it or post the chords? I'd love to cover a beautiful piece like that one day!

Thanks for this vid! Its super interesting! And you couldn't had a better timing, I'm sick and I was looking for a great thing to watch, this popping up is a blessing to me ❤️👍

Love you’re contented man. You deserve way more subscribers!

Hey Jude was the biggest hit of the sixties for a reason. It's the best song I've ever heard.

Wow,you've taken my breath away with this,I never considered this,my heart leapt at every word

My favorite Beatles song X3

The Beatles for life💞💞

I’m a different kind of 14 year old... I became obsessed with the Beatles like two months ago and I literally have listened to every one of their songs now. I love almost all of them with the occasional exception of a sh*t song imho.. they have recently became all I listen too.. I have watched every one of your videos on them I’ve watched all their films (I even sat through yellow submarine) and I’ve watched 3 documentaries on them, 2 on Johns life, 2 on Johns death. Literally every single interview any one of them has been in (including the countless ones with yoko, of whom I have no respect for whatsoever because of what she did to Julian) every single recording of them live there is, every music video. And I’ve listened to a sh*t load of bloopers and hours of different takes and demos. I’ve researched so much on all four of their lives I know them better than the people I actually know at this point.. I am completely and utterly obsessed and I literally don’t even care.. but point is thanks for making these videos to help fuel my obsession.

Hey man Thanks for offering some variety of good videos. In this awful awful times it entertains me so much. It fills the holes in the time that I have at my hand with some Beatles stuff that I never searched before. I always heard about Beatles but I never truly listened to them before. I found "because" a month ago and fell in love with it. I found your channel because of "because". It really helps me to learn the melancholic yet cheerful stories about them. Hope you have a nice day and be safe . Wear a face mask. Love ya ! ❤

Sir Hobbs make a hey Jude cover

Beautiful video I had never noticed that in the recording there was John's mistake. And your song is beautiful too.

Great vid!

Ahhhhh! I LOVE THIS SONG! THANK YOU! YOU JUST MADE MY DAY WHICH WAS ALREADY AWESOME. Sorry I’m yelling at you.

Wonderful!

What a cracking breakdown and footage I ain't seen greeting from England new sub xxxxx

I think subconsciously, Paul did put some lyrics in there for John. He may have hated that John was leaving him, but knew that stopping it wouldn't be respectful

It's nice to hear people are still writing Beatle songs.

Ha. Super cool. And I was just singing this song while I was mopping my kitchen and I was like, 'I wonder what does this song really means?' And you just explained it very well. thank you. your AWESOME! Great video 💙🐝💙

My question is more about the second half. Which puts me in a complete trance.

Crazy how Paul wrote this song that makes all age in the world vibe to it.

I listened to it for the first time today and so I’m watching this after listening to it for the 8th time today

Maybe now, why the beatles wrote: „yellow submarine”

Paul McCartney is such a nice and humble fellow

You should make a video on why Beatles music is so good, like is their ability to make such amazing songs with simple toons, their creativity and experimental behavior or could it be some kind of clever phycology tricks in their Lyrics? I think it would be an amazing video Idea!

I hope and pray Julian is doing well today

The original song at the end has a few bits that are really really interesting.

The song was written about John not Jullian Paul was afraid that John would find out that the song was about him. Hey Jude ( John) don’t make it bad.( the marriage with Cynthia) Take a sad song( their marriage) and make it better( work on your marriage and forget about Yoko) Paul thinks that maybe John realized it was about him later on.

Paul said Huy Jude he wrote and la one of his favorite songs. I should be able to play this song

Great video!

My name is jude

Thank u so much

Thanks, nice to hear and see nice things about Paul ; apparently my third cousin!

If it wasnt for Yoko we never would have gotten this song..

Holy shit my highschool Teacher 10th grade told me it was about heroin no that was in the 1979/80 i never questioned it we did a whole class on it.

Cynthia is prettier than Yoko.

Thank u so much for me to understand it Awsome

Paul wrote only the first line of the song with Julian on his mind. Clearly, this song is not about a little boy. " Still others, including Lennon, have speculated that in the lyrics to “Hey Jude“, McCartney’s failing long-term relationship with Jane Asher provided an unconscious “message to himself“. McCartney and Asher had announced their engagement on 25 December 1967, yet he began an affair with Linda Eastman in June 1968; that same month, Francie Schwartz, an American who was in London to discuss a film proposal with Apple, began living with McCartney at his St John’s Wood home. When Lennon mentioned that he thought the song was about him and Ono, McCartney denied it and told Lennon he had written the song about himself."

In 1968 John wrote "Hey Bulldog" and Paul wrote "Hey Jude" as a response. Only joking!

I like the song at the end :)

Love it love it love it

I wish i had a meaningful life like theirs

Your accounts going to blow up man

great video bro

Brilliant song and sad that Julian went through a rather dislocated relationship with John. Julian looks so very much like his father and has written some good songs himself!

Very good job! Rog

Are you sure that it was John who said fuckin hell? I’ve read that it was Paul. ???

The melody of your song reminds me of "Blackbird"

I like your song.

The Beatles were a Tavistock creation and wrote nothing until the white album the exchange between Billy (Paul) and George was the dynamic of the studio

You should let me play this song since I have been playing and this song I wanted to play this song ask Paul

They can tell a thousand times that Hey Jude was adressed to Julien, but the lines makes no sense to a little boy.

I know about John's mishap, I Just never knew the "oh!" Right before he says fucking hell wasn't planned.

What is that Ringo Starr drum insert audible anywhere on this clip? If so, does anybody have a “minute:second” indicator where I can find it?

Julian Lennon looks and sounds just like John. The resemblance is crazy. Well, not really since they are father and son. But they look a lot a like

Why the Beatles wrote hey Jude? Obviously to make it better ;)

I think that Julian was an outlet for Paul's love for John. At least, partly. I'm sure that he cared a lot for Julian, but with John it was much harder to express his affection, and Paul spent it on Julian. Thoughts?

I Believe Paul wrote it for Julian because he was thinkinkiing of Julian

Where did the green eyes come from

I always thought it was for John. Could be for both. For John then and for Julian later as a young adult. Why would you tell a child "go out and get her."? The wording seems better suited for an adult with some emotional baggage. It was a kind gesture though.

Hey guys Ive just made a full instrumental cover of This Boy, my all time favourite Beatle song! I spent lots of time and effort on this cover to make it as accurate to the original record as possible. If u guys could give it a quick peek, it would mean the world to me :)

Could you do one on the song "because"

Their music was written by George Martin and played by session players Paul McCartney died in 1966 and was replaced by William Shepard aka Billy sheers

Any chance you could do any Nirvana songs? Great video as usual!

julien looked more like john deakon rather than john lennon lol😆 edit: as an adult lol

how so sad makes me cry What John and Ono did to Julian

Buena!

for the people who dont understand the song the song is about julian lennon john lennon son and the song is not about drugs or anything else for the matter it was about john lennon divorce from cynthia just listen to the lyrics of the song

To bring every one together to sing nannana duh

Supposedly, Lennon was using heroin and HEY JUDE was about this usage. Next time you listen to the song pay attention to the words or find the lyrics online and think about the usage of heroin.Think of hard drug usage (shooting up) and this song starts to make sense! - let her into your heart, then you can start to make it better - So let it out and let it in - 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 - anytime you feel the pain, hey Jude, refrain - don't carry the world upon your shoulders, etc.!

So very good. Empathy. Supurb.

Nahhhhh Paul, Ringo, and George hated Yoko. They thought John Leaving his flaming was some bs

Why did The Beatles write Fixing a Hole? 🤔

That's why Julian is close to paul then Jhon

All I’ve heard from countless interviews is this song about Julian, and never once, not one time did I ever believe it. It’s always obviously been about John, “you have found her now go and get her”. “Don’t carry the world on your shoulders”, “remember to let her into your heart”. John was the leader always trying to bear the burden of the groups problems, and also it’s about his new relationship with yoko, but no matter what it’s about, it’s the type of song where it doesn’t matter what your background is or how old your are or what even your taste in music is, it’s a song that’s IMPOSSIBLE not to love, simply impossible.
