“…For well you know that it’s a fool who plays it cool by making his world a little colder…” Such profound lyrics came from Paul McCartney in this case but over and over from the Lennon/McCartney partnership. I feel truly honored to have had the good fortune to grow up with this amazing music. There are many wonderful aspects to this song. Great job on this reaction. 🌺✌️

It is well known that McCartney wrote Hey Jude to reach out to Lennon's son to help him deal with his parents spliting up. However, many people overlook the fact that Lennon actually wrote the song, Good Night, for Julian prior to the release of Hey Jude. Both songs were recorded within weeks of each other. Lennon wrote his song as a lullaby for his son, who was 5 years old at the time. The tune was recorded in June 1968 and ultimately released on the White Album later that year in November. In turn, Hey Jude was recorded in July and released in August as a single. McCartney continues to receive heaps of praise for caring about Julian via this song, but virtually nothing is said about Lennon's effort to comfort his son in his own way.

It’s hard to imagine that, fifty five years later, but to them the song was new and fresh, not rock and roll history.

What an experience it must have been to be in that audience! I wonder how they were selected? I guess a lot of them are still around today. It might be worth your while re-acting to the B side also, Revolution, which also had a promo film shot by the same director. This is the hard rock version, not the more laid back album track. Incidentally, in recent years the "na-na-na" chorus has become really popular to play over the public address systems at football (soccer) grounds here in the U.K. in order to gee up the crowds before and after the matches.

My favorite story about this song is that Paul almost scrapped the lyric "The movement you need is on your shoulder." He had plugged in those lyrics as placeholders, and thought they were basically nonsensical. But John told him to leave that line alone. Paul said, "OK, but what does it mean?" John said: "It means, the movement you need, is on your shoulder." I've never forgotten that. It's not only a great line, but an example of how sometimes, we've done better than we think.
