And Pauls Godson. It also refers to Yoko Ono. Remember to let her into your heart, then you can start to make it better. It's a lot of good advice and wisdom to a young boy in confusing times.
Typical of Beatles to have variations of lyrical meanings. Back in the day I heard it had to do with something totally different. The minute you let her under your skin (drugs) Then you begin to make it better. And anytime you feel the pain (needle). So let it out and let it in (injection)
Xcris crosX The Drug meaning was thought up by fans but McCartney always maintained it was a song giving advice to Julien to let Yoko into his heart. "Let it out and let it in" can refer to Crying and Comfort and "Let her under your skin" could just be the metaphorical sense of letting someone into your heart. Paul was always up front about the drug references in his songs as simple allusions, but he never said that about Hey Jude. It's a song for a 5 year old. He likely wouldn't want those references in it. And no it's not like Yellow Submarine promoting smoking.
At 11:13 in the video 'Paul McCartney Breaks Down His Most Iconic Songs', he talks about writing it for Julian and changing Hey Jules to Hey Jude, th-cam.com/video/u97_inloBmY/w-d-xo.html
Remember what it was like when the Beatles put out a new album, and you'd go to somebody's house with a bunch of friends and listen to it for the first time ever, and we would have the same expression on our faces as this guy -- just struck with amazement and joy.
Not to mention, McCartney's song 'Black Bird' was inspired by the racial tensions that exploded in the US in the spring of 1968 as a symbolic way to support the efforts of the Civil Rights Movement. McCartney underlined also that “bird” is a British slang often used for “girl”, which would make “blackbird” become “black girl”.

Normally I would say that for a group this popular, you would have to at least heard the song somewhere even if you didn't remember hearing it, like in a movie soundtrack or a TV commercial. However, The Beatles to this day almost never licensed any of their recordings for movies or commercials. They were that popular that they didn't need the money from licensing deals like that.
The Beatles were one of the first groups to really push equality among everyone. When they were touring in the US did in the early 60s, they found out some of the venues in the south were segregated.where ey threatened to cancel their shows unless it was opened to anyone. The venues caved in and they were some of the first mixed audiences in the US.
Venues in Florida were open to all but segregated; whites on one side, blacks on the other. The Beatles refused to perform unless the venue was integrated and fans could sit wherever they liked without any restriction.

Steve Rodgers - that’s a great phrase, Steve. I might have to steal it, and use it the next time I’m talking to a young person who wasn’t old enough to walk the earth with them when they were still together, and changing the lives of so many of my generation. 🙏😊
It makes me happy to see someone who doesn’t know the Beatles listen and enjoy it even in today’s culture with hip hop and electronic music. Shows how revolutionary the Beatles were and still can be today.
JayVee has gotten us through this pandemic. It has been wonderful to watch a young person, who was unable to graduate high school, enjoy music through so many generations.
Beatlemania hit the United States in 1964. Most of the South was still segregated. They refused to play for segregated audiences. They were the first musicians that required that the venues have integrated seating. It was written into the contract.
I listen to the Beatles channel on Sirius radio, and they had a top 100 countdown show, trouble was there were far more than 100 songs that could have been on that list. Consider The Beatles were together for only 6 or 7 years (at least during their recording years). They have an incredible catalog of songs, the majority of which they wrote themselves.
Fun fact: When The Beatles were recording this song, Paul said “f*cking hell” really quiet when he accidentally played the wrong note, they noticed it wasn’t noticeable so they left it
I grew up in The Beatles' era. 90% of the teen girls on the planet wanted to marry Paul McCartney. I still have my ticket stubs and programs from their concerts in '64, '65 and '66!

Mostly set in a parallel universe, different space and time, things like 'Coca Cola' becomes 'nozz a la' 😂 about the only thing the identical same in that world and this one was 'hey jude'.

you spoke about the audience being diverse. actually, the Beatles were very against racism. they once were told they were going to play in front of a segregated crowd and they refused until the audience was mixed. fun fact great video:)
I cried because this is amazing. I wish my friends appreciated the Beatles this much. They all make fun of me. But the Beatles are my loves and I just AGHHH thank you.
you123ST The Beatles were influenced from so many different sources. Chuck Berry was a huge influence, however, Paul’s dad was a musician that played in jazz and dance bands when he was younger, so that was also an influence. Also, Liverpool was a major port and the members of the Beatles said they got records brought from the US by sailors, so they had access to music not heard on the radio or sold in stores in England. County music was a huge influence on their sound, especially evident in their early rockabilly sound on some songs. Paul, George and John were fans of Carl Perkins. In my opinion, the wide variety of influences directly impacted how incredible their work was. You could hear Helter Skelter and Julia on the same album. That is contrast.
Paul wrote Hey Jude (originally Hey Jules) for John Lennon's son after John had left his family for Yoko Ono. It came to him as he was driving out to console John's wife Cynthia and 5 year old son Julian.
On the odd chance that you may not have heard ELO, you could have something close to that. And if you have, then you just have to go a bit further back in time - look up the Idle Race - my guess is you'll find yourself listening to music nearly on the level of Beatles, for the first time.
This song is special to me because I had my first "slow dance" to it. I was a mess by the time it was over. Every time i hear it, I return to that spot.
The Beatles are such a huge influence on music in general and many bands in particular, I grew up in the 60’s hearing them on the radio all the time, Here’s a few this old guy can recommend to you, Nowhere Man, Help, Michelle, Penny Lane, Please Please Me, When I’m Sixty Four, Sergeant Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band, A Day in the Life, And I could go on stick a dart in any of those and you’ve got great music to listen to.
Paul’s singing at the end is like the “exalt” part of a live gospel choir performance where the soloist ad libs snd gives the audience permission to express their own emotions
"Paul McCartney made sure that Jimi Hendrix was not excluded in a rock festival by stating that they would not attend the festival if Jimi was not there" this was because in one of the festivals where both Jimi and The Beatles were meant to perform the festival management threatened to drop Jimi because of his skin color, The Beatles weren't only great musicians but also great people and great friends!
Jayvee, you mention the diverse audience that is there singing along with The Beatles? Well dig this about the greatest band in music history: "The Beatles showed their support for the US civil rights movement by refusing to play in front of segregated audiences, a contract shows. The document, which is to be auctioned next week, relates a 1965 concert at the Cow Palace in California. Signed by manager Brian Epstein, it specifies that The Beatles "not be required to perform in front of a segregated audience". The Beatles had previously taken a public stand on civil rights in 1964, when they refused to perform at a segregated concert at the Gator Bowl in Jacksonville, Florida. City officials relented, allowing the stadium to be integrated, and the band took to the stage. "We never play to segregated audiences and we aren't going to start now," said John Lennon. "I'd sooner lose our appearance money." The struggle for racial equality in America later inspired Paul McCartney to write Blackbird.
Mike K-To this day,I still get incredibly emotional when listening to two particular Beatles songs:The Long and Winding Road,and Blackbird.Such powerful songs that were beautifully written.☺️
Growing up with The Beatles guide so many young people across the world in how to treat others. Not that these guys were saints by any means. What made them great was there ability to not only grow as musicians but as humans.
I live in Little Rock Arkansas where 9 black children had to have the President intervene with the National Guard after our Governor wouldn't let them go to Central High School thus Blackbird was written.
Actually, it's 3rd. The original single of Don McClean's "American Pie" (1971) had the first half of the song on side "A" & the rest on side "B", adding up to about 8 & a half minutes. "MacArthur's Park" (Richard Harris, 1968) was almost half a minute longer than "Hey, Jude". In fairness, though, The Beatles set a new precedent with "Hey, Jude" before the other two songs were released, opening the door for especially long songs.
@@QueenSnowPea I did some further checking. Both Rare Earth's "Get Ready" single & Iron Butterfly's "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" single were severely edited compared to the album versions (both singles were around 3:00, give or take a few seconds) & neither got anywhere near #1 on the pop charts (at least in the U.S., though "Get Ready" apparently topped the R&B charts). I also discovered, to my surprise, that "MacArthur's Park" actually only made it to #2, not #1. Apparently, only "American Pie" both reached #1 &, because of how the original single was designed, was the longest #1 song ever, though I guess "Hey, Jude" is the longest for one side of a 7". Btw, the only reason I even know about that original "American Pie" single is that I actually had it growing up. Of course, if we're including all types of singles, then that has to include 12" singles (which were generally considerably longer) & then the discussion would get into other formats & so forth, until it practically becomes rather pointless, so, for this particular debate, I guess "Hey, Jude" & "American Pie" can split the difference.
@@laustcawz2089 Hey Jude was on one side of a single. Were as American Pie's A side was the one played and given credit for being #1 is what I read somewhere. As far as MacArthur's Park goes, It hit 2 on Billboard not #1.
Hearing Paul McCartney headline Glastonbury in 2022 and the whole crowd singing along with him, is pure joy. He’s turned eighty, 80😳! Unbelievable performance, worth checking it out xx
The Beatles were together as a band for 12 years. Their recording careers lasted 9 years (1961-1970) but they were together as a group, John, Paul and George since 1958. Ringo joined in 1962. "My Bonnie", The Beatles' first commercially-released record, featured English singer Tony Sheridan on lead vocals and was recorded in Hamburg in 1961.
ldchappell1 I said recording. And I don’t count the Pete Best years when discussing their history, as they weren’t truly the “ Beatles “ until Ringo joined. They didn’t have official recordings that ended up on a record with Ringo until 62’
@@jnixa1010 They were "The Beatles" beginning in 1960. Give me a break. Of course I admire Ringo's work in the Beatles, but his inclusion in the band was not that significant to their creative output. Out of 213 songs recorded, he only composed or sang lead on 11 tracks. When John was asked in 1966 "Do you consider Ringo Starr to be the best pop drummer in the world." John responded "He's not even the best drummer in The Beatles."
ldchappell1 they’ve also said they never would have been as good without Ringo. John was joking, and btw, you didn’t put the full quote in there. I mean, John also said everything the Beatles did sucked, too, you believe that also? Yoko and heroin had him saying a lot of shit he didn’t truly believe. Beatles didn’t record in ‘60, btw. My initial statement was recording... they started recording albums in studio with George Martin in 62’. I’m right, you’re wrong
Listen to: Come Together Let It Be Day Tripper A Day In The Life Penny Lane Strawberry Fields Forever Yesterday She Loves You I Want To Hold Your Hand If I Fell All You Need Is Love The Long And Winding Road Something
They were a perfect combination - three great songwriters, three great voices, really good instrumentalists, and the perfect producer in George Martin. The gold standard against which we measure all others.
I agree with what you are saying. I really do. And if the artist in question was 10CC or the Boomtown Rats, then I would not have asked the question 'How did you get to your age without hearing the Beatles'? But, after all, it is the Beatles.
@@Drakesclub i didnt start listening to the Beatles until age 12. Some ppl probably started at an earlier or older age. Like I said, people take different paths and just because theyre famous doesnt mean much unless yourr not exposed to them, especially these days when theres broad range of music to enjoy. I dont like many famous things, or dont care about many famous things, Im sure you can name something famous you dont like either. And if so, then you should be understand him.
Absolutely! I remember going to a friend's house because somebody had a copy of the new Beatles album, and we would sit there and listen to it as if it were food and we were starving. We would just absorb it over and over again.
"I've never heard the Beatles before". Oh man. There are so MANY AMAZING songs. I can't even pick one from any era. How about 'Eleanor Rigby' at random? Or "She Loves You" for great contrast? Or "Yesterday"?
What is amazing is that I have already heard this song thousands of times. I even have participated singing it with Paul in two of his concerts. But now I seemed it was the first time! I liked your comments too. Thank you!
You could pick one of another hundred Beatles songs and they'd all be just about as good, though admittedly this one was a monster hit in 1968. Also, you should keep in mind they weren't just any band; they may be the most musically influential band of all time.
Did you watch Thomas the Tank Engine when you were a little boy? The drummer Ringo was the original Thomas voice. Just something random for you! Keep up the great work ✌️🇦🇺😊
Love this. You will love them. Please react to. A Day in Life, a song that takes places lol. They have so many great songs. Jude, is John's son Julian. John is the one with round glasses.
The Beatles are my dad‘s fave band! The were a creative force, releasing more than 10 albums, which is a lot, considering that they weren’t together as a band that long. Among my favorite songs are Eleanor Rigby, Help, In My Life, and Blackbird. There is also a really sweet Beatles tribute movie, which was only released about maybe a month ago called Yesterday. Hey Jude played while the credits rolled and my dad and I stayed to the end to sing along, because who can help it when the nananas start?
I have heard this song for about almost all my life and when I hear it, it still gives me goosebumps and stuff like that. Each time I hear it, I somehow appreciate it even more and more.
When he started singing along i really started to love him. This video makes me happy. Proofs once again that no matter which gender, race, sexuality, age or anything the Beates just know how to get to peoples hearts and that’s what amazes me about them. They’re just great As he said, they know how to rock a crowd
It so crazy to hear/see this song performed live! Paul McCartney still perform this one.... It gives you the chills every time! Especially the 'Na na na na na na na' part goes on for 6-8 minutes song by 40-50-60-70 thousands of people! It something everybody should experience. do it when it's still possible'

...and they were the first to get away with it. No other band in USA had done that. Go figure...
In 1964, Dusty Springfield was deported from South Africa for performing to only racially integrated audiences.

I Recommend you should listen to “ In my life” and “Yesterday”.
And Eleanor Rigby too
What about strawberry fields forever?
just that two songs? I recommend him listen to all the beatles songs
And Revolution 9
While my guitar gently weeps?
The whole Beatles catalog is FIRE! Almost anything you do will not only be different, but will still feel fresh.
big106razor so true!
This song is special to me because I had my first "slow dance" to it. I was a mess by the time it was over. Every time i hear it, I return to that spot.
“Jude” was short name for John Lennon’s son, Julian.
The first name the song Is hey Jules
By the way, did you know that the song lucy in the sky with diamonds is based after a picture his son Julian drew?
FelineRock68088 yes I think Lucy was one of his school classmates. 😀
Hangoverr eh?
@@agustinmasco5517 nop it's for John's son after John and his mother broke up
The Beatles are such a huge influence on music in general and many bands in particular, I grew up in the 60’s hearing them on the radio all the time, Here’s a few this old guy can recommend to you, Nowhere Man, Help, Michelle, Penny Lane, Please Please Me, When I’m Sixty Four, Sergeant Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band, A Day in the Life, And I could go on stick a dart in any of those and you’ve got great music to listen to.
So many great tunes. "No Where Man" maybe my favorite. ❤
I quite like in my life
One of the greatest bands EVER!.Major Beatlemaniac here
Any song from the rooftop!
lance allison the Beatles sound new today! Timeless music from the GOATS..
John: " so you guys got any ideas for a song? "
George: " no. "
Ringo: " no. "
Paul: " nah... Wait that could work. "
your picture makes me wanna puke
Don't forget Lennon.
@@mr.mustang656 what do you mean Mr. Mustang??
What I wouldn't give to hear the Beatles for the first time again.
That voice you're liking is Sir Paul McCartney. None better than these guys!!!
He was knighted for people who dont know
SiR *jAmEs* PaUl McCaRtNeY*
Paul is my idol out of the 4
Enrichment Music bruh same 👊😂
Paul is actually now a Lord. The queen must like him, he’s so polite.
Paul’s singing at the end is like the “exalt” part of a live gospel choir performance where the soloist ad libs snd gives the audience permission to express their own emotions
Don't know if they'd get blocked but you could react to nothing but Beatles songs for months and have all purely great songs.
"Paul McCartney made sure that Jimi Hendrix was not excluded in a rock festival by stating that they would not attend the festival if Jimi was not there"
this was because in one of the festivals where both Jimi and The Beatles were meant to perform the festival management threatened to drop Jimi because of his skin color, The Beatles weren't only great musicians but also great people and great friends!
Ahh their not bad they only changed a culture of teenagers all over the World !!!
And inspired every rock band of the seventies
NYsun flower that's what i was going to say,
Paul = the Voice
John = the mind
George = the soul
Ringo = the nose
FaZe_Catfish_ that’s fucked up I’m sleep💀💀😂😂 LMAO i thought you were gonna say melody or sum else but nahh “the nose”😂
Paul= broken a glass
Ringo was a great drummer for The Beatles, perfect. He is really really underestimated.
Ringo put the beat in Beatles!
The nose lmao
Jayvee, you mention the diverse audience that is there singing along with The Beatles? Well dig this about the greatest band in music history:
"The Beatles showed their support for the US civil rights movement by refusing to play in front of segregated audiences, a contract shows. The document, which is to be auctioned next week, relates a 1965 concert at the Cow Palace in California. Signed by manager Brian Epstein, it specifies that The Beatles "not be required to perform in front of a segregated audience". The Beatles had previously taken a public stand on civil rights in 1964, when they refused to perform at a segregated concert at the Gator Bowl in Jacksonville, Florida.
City officials relented, allowing the stadium to be integrated, and the band took to the stage.
"We never play to segregated audiences and we aren't going to start now," said John Lennon. "I'd sooner lose our appearance money." The struggle for racial equality in America later inspired Paul McCartney to write Blackbird.
Mike K-To this day,I still get incredibly emotional when listening to two particular Beatles songs:The Long and Winding Road,and Blackbird.Such powerful songs that were beautifully written.☺️
Growing up with The Beatles guide so many young people across the world in how to treat others. Not that these guys were saints by any means. What made them great was there ability to not only grow as musicians but as humans.
I live in Little Rock Arkansas where 9 black children had to have the President intervene with the National Guard after our Governor wouldn't let them go to Central High School thus Blackbird was written.
Try “come together” by the beatles. John lennon sings the lead vocals.
"I feel like I'm in a church right now" That's so beautifully said because that is EXACTLY what the Beatles make me feel like :))
"Hey Jude" holds the record for the longest song to hit #1 at 7mins.11 seconds.. 1968
Actually, it's 3rd. The original single of Don McClean's "American Pie" (1971) had the first half of the song on side "A" & the rest on side "B", adding up to about 8 & a half minutes. "MacArthur's Park" (Richard Harris, 1968) was almost half a minute longer than "Hey, Jude". In fairness, though, The Beatles set a new precedent with "Hey, Jude" before the other two songs were released, opening the door for especially long songs.
@@laustcawz2089 what about In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida. Also the song Get Ready by Rare Earth took up one whole side of the album.
@@QueenSnowPea I did some further checking.
Both Rare Earth's "Get Ready" single & Iron Butterfly's "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" single were severely edited compared to the album versions (both singles were around 3:00, give or take a few seconds) & neither got anywhere near #1 on the pop charts (at least in the U.S., though "Get Ready" apparently topped the R&B charts).
I also discovered, to my surprise, that "MacArthur's Park" actually only made it to #2, not #1. Apparently, only "American Pie" both reached #1 &, because of how the original single was designed, was the longest #1 song ever, though I guess "Hey, Jude" is the longest for one side of a 7".
Btw, the only reason I even know about that original "American Pie" single is that I actually had it growing up.
Of course, if we're including all types of singles, then that has to include 12" singles (which were generally considerably longer) & then the discussion would get into other formats & so forth, until it practically becomes rather pointless, so, for this particular debate, I guess "Hey, Jude" & "American Pie" can split the difference.
American pie is better than hey Jude tho, I luv hey Jude but ddon McLean's song is a absolute masterpiece
@@laustcawz2089 Hey Jude was on one side of a single. Were as American Pie's A side was the one played and given credit for being #1 is what I read somewhere. As far as MacArthur's Park goes, It hit 2 on Billboard not #1.
Hearing Paul McCartney headline Glastonbury in 2022 and the whole crowd singing along with him, is pure joy. He’s turned eighty, 80😳! Unbelievable performance, worth checking it out xx
They were way ahead of their time, and were only together recording 8 years. Unreal
The Beatles were together as a band for 12 years. Their recording careers lasted 9 years (1961-1970) but they were together as a group, John, Paul and George since 1958. Ringo joined in 1962. "My Bonnie", The Beatles' first commercially-released record, featured English singer Tony Sheridan on lead vocals and was recorded in Hamburg in 1961.
ldchappell1 I said recording. And I don’t count the Pete Best years when discussing their history, as they weren’t truly the “ Beatles “ until Ringo joined. They didn’t have official recordings that ended up on a record with Ringo until 62’
@@jnixa1010 They were "The Beatles" beginning in 1960. Give me a break. Of course I admire Ringo's work in the Beatles, but his inclusion in the band was not that significant to their creative output. Out of 213 songs recorded, he only composed or sang lead on 11 tracks. When John was asked in 1966 "Do you consider Ringo Starr to be the best pop drummer in the world." John responded "He's not even the best drummer in The Beatles."
ldchappell1 they’ve also said they never would have been as good without Ringo. John was joking, and btw, you didn’t put the full quote in there. I mean, John also said everything the Beatles did sucked, too, you believe that also? Yoko and heroin had him saying a lot of shit he didn’t truly believe. Beatles didn’t record in ‘60, btw. My initial statement was recording... they started recording albums in studio with George Martin in 62’. I’m right, you’re wrong
And 59 years since the Beatles ended
Listen to:
Come Together
Let It Be
Day Tripper
A Day In The Life
Penny Lane
Strawberry Fields Forever
Yesterday
She Loves You
I Want To Hold Your Hand
If I Fell
All You Need Is Love
The Long And Winding Road
Something
And imagine. Not a Beatles song, John Lennon wrote it after they split up, but it’s still one of the best songs of all time
What about Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band❤️
yes penny laaaaaaane
YES
I love Paperback Writer
They were a perfect combination - three great songwriters, three great voices, really good instrumentalists, and the perfect producer in George Martin. The gold standard against which we measure all others.
The Beatles came on the scene and started the revolution in music and influenced so many.
Ted Frey still influencing people today.
Queen as well. Ray Charles did to. A lot of excellent musicians do.
This gives me a chill man, good to see young people reacting like this.
One of the greatest bands of all time. Man, I really miss John Lennon and George Harrison. R.I.P.
They are the greatest of all time
The greatest not one of the greatest
How on earth did you get to your age without hearing the Beatles? Seriously.
Dude not everyone lives the same life as YOU. People take different paths. At least now he is listening to them.
My thoughts exactly.
I agree with what you are saying. I really do. And if the artist in question was 10CC or the Boomtown Rats, then I would not have asked the question 'How did you get to your age without hearing the Beatles'? But, after all, it is the Beatles.
Im 12 and i fuckin luv the beatles
@@Drakesclub i didnt start listening to the Beatles until age 12. Some ppl probably started at an earlier or older age. Like I said, people take different paths and just because theyre famous doesnt mean much unless yourr not exposed to them, especially these days when theres broad range of music to enjoy. I dont like many famous things, or dont care about many famous things, Im sure you can name something famous you dont like either. And if so, then you should be understand him.
The whole Beatles collection Yoooo you’re gonna be listening for a long time 😂😘
Start at the beginning, say maybe the hamburg tapes (or Cavern) and work your way up through the changes to Abbey Road.
First time I heard hey jude, I was speechless, my mouth was wide open, and thats when I knew what the greatest song was
you look very familiar heorge, don't know from where but i'll get it.
I feel like this is how everyone looked the first time they listened to the Beatles properly
Just like in "Yesterday" :)
Raquel Campos Ferreira
Yeah! It’s such a good movie :)
Absolutely! I remember going to a friend's house because somebody had a copy of the new Beatles album, and we would sit there and listen to it as if it were food and we were starving. We would just absorb it over and over again.
"I've never heard the Beatles before". Oh man. There are so MANY AMAZING songs. I can't even pick one from any era. How about 'Eleanor Rigby' at random? Or "She Loves You" for great contrast? Or "Yesterday"?
Yes to Eleanor Rigby! Probably my favorite. You can really tell from that one that they had a good education in classical music.
All of the Abbey road album!
Mindboggling that there are people who have never heard The Beatles. Makes you wonder exactly how many people in the world still haven't.

What is amazing is that I have already heard this song thousands of times. I even have participated singing it with Paul in two of his concerts. But now I seemed it was the first time! I liked your comments too. Thank you!
I would recommend any of the Beatles songs but "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart Club Band" album is the best... enjoy
The White Album/The Beatles album is pretty good.
I'm partial to "Rubber Soul" myself.
Saw the movie...Wayne says" Excellent"
You could pick one of another hundred Beatles songs and they'd all be just about as good, though admittedly this one was a monster hit in 1968. Also, you should keep in mind they weren't just any band; they may be the most musically influential band of all time.
Finally able to post this. It's gonna be blocked for good soon
Did you watch Thomas the Tank Engine when you were a little boy? The drummer Ringo was the original Thomas voice. Just something random for you! Keep up the great work ✌️🇦🇺😊
Wow this video blew up quickly
Love this. You will love them. Please react to. A Day in Life, a song that takes places lol. They have so many great songs. Jude, is John's son Julian. John is the one with round glasses.
My favorite Carpool Karaoke is with Paul McCartney. The end is awesome. You will get how much the Beatles are still loved to this day.
Lady Madonna has a similar vibe to Hey Jude
"first time hearing Hey Jude challenge"
Was he from middle earth or something?
React to “Maybe I’m Amazed” by him. Paul McCartney. You’ll love that one if you love this one
Be sure to listen to the original, studio version. The live one is okay, but the studio version is MAGIC.
Beatles had so many hits! absolutely ridiculous how famous they were...
He's having the experience that I will never have ever again listening to the greatest band in the history of rock
Might be best selling song of the 60s. BEATLES had 20 number 1 songs in 7 years. No one else is close.
This was their most successful single. Amazing...
When he’s vibing to Paul Mcartney 😂
You should listen to the song “back in the USSR” by the Beatles
By jack malick you mean..
@@ShannonRous yeah idk what this guys on
@@chunglebung8988 it's from the movie yesterday
@@gangbangerranga3401 I know? I was continuing it?
Check out The Beatles - Let It Be - my fav of all their songs
Adam...Let It Be was our high school graduation song in 1970. It still has a very special place in my ❤.
You put a smile on my face! Greatness lives forever.
This is what a lot of us who are old folks today, listened to when we were young. Not that I am old, now or ever!
The Beatles are my dad‘s fave band! The were a creative force, releasing more than 10 albums, which is a lot, considering that they weren’t together as a band that long.
Among my favorite songs are Eleanor Rigby, Help, In My Life, and Blackbird.
There is also a really sweet Beatles tribute movie, which was only released about maybe a month ago called Yesterday. Hey Jude played while the credits rolled and my dad and I stayed to the end to sing along, because who can help it when the nananas start?
I have heard this song for about almost all my life and when I hear it, it still gives me goosebumps and stuff like that. Each time I hear it, I somehow appreciate it even more and more.
“They’re building a vibe, man.” In those words, I realized you understand.
This made my heart happy 💕 never too late to discover The Beatles! Hey Jude is iconic! 💕
Another great song from the Beatles for react to: Yesterday, it's a sad but really good song.
The song that always gets to me is "Let It Be". Very emotional song.
Masterpiece
While my guitar gently weeps and Elenor rigby are amazing too
I think “because” is their absolute masterpiece
I've always found 'Hey Jude' was the most heartfelt of the Beatles songs that I've heard--except maybe for Let it be.
Always nice to see people discover for the first this music I've loved all my life! Thanks for giving us new perspective on this classic man!
So many successful musicians all credit seeing the Beatles on tv the first time for their knowing they wanted to be musicians.
Gary Lindsey yes, The Byrd’s were such
Every single Beatles song is worthy!! I can't believe you've not listened to the Beatles before now. MIND BLOWN!!!
I was 10 years old when the BEATLES blew on to the scene. THEY CHANGED THE WORLD. Music came alive! Any Beatle song will do.
He did this at a super bowl halftime show everyone was singing
When he started singing along i really started to love him. This video makes me happy. Proofs once again that no matter which gender, race, sexuality, age or anything the Beates just know how to get to peoples hearts and that’s what amazes me about them. They’re just great
As he said, they know how to rock a crowd
Great reaction, so glad I got to see it, unfortunately The Beatles almost always get blocked.
The Beatles will always be my favorite band. Fantastic reaction, hope it wont be blocked.
No One will ever be as great as the Beatles. I’m so grateful I listened to them since I was a little kid. I feel as though they raised me.
2018: “listening to queen the first time”
2019: “listening to the Beatles for the first time”
Ah, sh*t here we go again
Hey, better late than never!
Listening for the first time
Do I need to believe it?
Yesica1993 imagine being able to listen to the Beatles for the first time again
Yep, but nobody tops Freddie M. R.I.P.
This is awesome!! Welcome to the wonderful world of The Beatles! I hope they give you as much joy as they gave me!
It so crazy to hear/see this song performed live! Paul McCartney still perform this one.... It gives you the chills every time! Especially the 'Na na na na na na na' part goes on for 6-8 minutes song by 40-50-60-70 thousands of people! It something everybody should experience. do it when it's still possible'
“I love al the members of the band” me too man. Me too.
I was listening to the Beatles when I was a zygote
Seriously man, Thank you. I'm hearing this song for the first time again too.
The biggest power of this song is when thousands are singing along live
