You're absolutely right, @normanbrown9225! 'Hey Jude' really did break the mold with its length and still managed to become a massive hit. It goes to show the power of the song and the Beatles' influence on the music industry. What's your favorite part of 'Hey Jude' that makes it stand out for you? ❤
Thank you so much for the kind words! It really makes my day that you enjoyed the video. We're always trying to uncover interesting stories about classic rock. Is there a particular aspect of Paul's songwriting career you'd like to see us explore next? Or perhaps another classic rock artist you think deserves a deep dive?

In 1968 George invited Eric Clapton to play lead on "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", so that was the first time a non-Beatle was involved in recording with the Beatles. For Let It Be, Billy Preston was invited. In both instances, George stated the Beatles were "on their best behavior" with Eric and Billy .
You're right, Leonard! George inviting Eric Clapton and Billy Preston brought distinct influences to the Beatles' music, and having them in the studio brought out the band's best. Although the Beatles had used session musicians before, such as the orchestral arrangements in "A Day in the Life," these collaborations with Eric and Billy were unique because they played significant roles in the songs' creative processes, almost like unofficial members. Do you have a favorite moment where their contributions added that extra magic to a Beatles track?
That's spot on, Jean! "Hey Jules" was indeed the original title, reflecting the personal touch Paul intended as he thought of Julian during that drive. It’s fascinating how a moment of genuine concern for a friend's family evolved into one of the Beatles’ most beloved tracks. 🎶 Have you ever had a moment where a piece of art or music became unexpectedly meaningful in your life due to the circumstances you were in?
Oh geez I'm so sad hearing that at the end. But wow this will change my way of looking and hearing this song. Those lyrics always befuddled me. Now it all becomes clear. Yeah right. Thankyou.
It's understandable to feel that way, Mary. Those quotes at the end are really touching which is why I had to include them. Also, the backstory of "Hey Jude" adds layers of complexity that can be both enlightening and emotional. But it’s incredible how understanding the context can change the way we experience those befuddling lyrics! Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Do you have any other Beatles songs whose meanings or backstories surprised you like this one?
You're right, "Yesterday" is indeed one of Paul's most famous songs. The story behind "Hey Jude" is quite complex, isn't it? How do you interpret the song's meaning, given the different perspectives shared by Paul and John?
Nothing beats a classic, right, Jay? 🎸 Paul certainly knows how to strike a chord with timeless melodies. What's your favorite memory connected to one of his songs? Feel free to share it with us!
What is your favorite personal memory about "Hey Jude?" What did we miss/ get right in our video? Thanks for being a part of the conversation and our comunity!
I saw on a documentary that one night John and Yoko stayed behind after the Beatles jam session so they could make music together and Paul put the recorder on for them. He said you never know you guys might come up with something good. He must have known he was losing John.
Absolutely, @stevenhanson6057! The Beatles' fame is unparalleled, and their private lives have always been a topic of great interest. It's incredible how they managed to navigate such immense fame while creating timeless music. Do you have a favorite Beatles moment that highlights how they handled their celebrity status?
You make a great point, Glen! "Yesterday" is certainly another masterpiece in McCartney's catalog and often cited as one of the most covered songs in music history. Its melancholic melody and reflective lyrics have resonated with so many. Which of the two songs, "Yesterday" or "Hey Jude," personally touched you more? Let’s chat about their lasting influences! 🎸
Interesting video. I think your thesis is plausible, and there is no doubt things you mention contributed to the emotional maelstrom. I don't recognise Lennon's higher motives. When Cynthia went to Greece with Magic Alex, she'd been set up to commit adultery with the Magic one. She was groomed for the sting and Alex sang like a canary to get Lennon's wealth ring-fenced. It takes a special mind to do that. Any ideas? McCartney was also no angel. He was known post-Hamburg to be addicted to what in Liverpool were unkindly known as "scrubbers". Thus when Nanci Schwartz appeared at a London nightclub, the attraction to the Groupy Queen was instant and fatal. When Jayne Asher came home early from a tour and caught him in flagrante delicto then he was saying hello to bachelorship. There is a much more simple explanation for "Hey Jude" connected to ethnicity, religious affiliation an Paul's mother...
Thanks for sharing your insights, @gerrymurphy3854! You've have surely painted a vivid picture of the emotional complexities behind the scenes, which is always what I want to do with my videos too. It's true that the Beatles, like all of us, had their personal struggles and imperfections, it's fascinating to consider how these experiences might have shaped their music. Regarding 'Hey Jude,' it's indeed intriguing how personal backgrounds and the broader cultural context could influence a song's creation. What aspects of 'Hey Jude' do you think were most affected by these factors? How do you think understanding these influences changes the way we listen to the song today?
Thank you for your feedback, @spaceengineer1452! We always appreciate hearing how our viewers experience the videos and we’re sorry to hear the background music was a bit overpowering for you. We strive to enhance the storytelling with our music choices, but we’ll definitely take your input into consideration for future videos. Just out of curiosity, how do you usually like the audio balance in music documentaries or videos? Your preferences might help us fine-tune our approach!

@@TheRockAlchemy Thanks. I prefer a more ambient sound that doesn’t over power the dialogue. I don’t think it’s necessary to create excitement in background music, if the content is interesting.
❤️❤️ Back at you, @lindawiley3112! Isn't it fantastic how 'Hey Jude' will still tug at our heartstrings after all these years? What's your favorite line from the song that you find most uplifting or comforting?

@@TheRockAlchemy Keep up the good work with The Beatles. They're endless and we'll enjoy any detail. 🙏

They had session players before.

@@TheRockAlchemy definitely Eric Clapton's solo on "While My Guitar Gently Weeps". That elevated the song to another level.
Paul said he was driving over to visit Cynthia and Julian when the song came to him. It was originally called Hey Jules.

I wonder why he changed the title? I like Hey Jules.

His most famous song is YESTERDAY. John Lennon commented that Hey Jude was about him, not Julian.
You're right, "Yesterday" is indeed one of Paul's most famous songs. The story behind "Hey Jude" is quite complex, isn't it? How do you interpret the song's meaning, given the different perspectives shared by Paul and John?
My fave! Love you Paul

I remember watching this video on a snowy Sunday night in Nov 1968.It was on the David Frost show.
Remember, these are the most famous people in this world! With your private life --- , never mind.

I think his most famous song was Yesterday.
