hey this is paul. i actually wrote this song because when john was divorcing his wife for Yoko, i wrote this for his son, Julian. i wanted this song to basically say to him that he should accept Yoko into his new family and not to be afraid to do so. Also that once he does so, it might be better.

to all the heroin believers learn to spell the word right. thesong does have a mystical meaning it to most people written as a note to john's normal son, not that half nut yoko raised. but it was written also for paul who could not stand her both in reality but also paul knew it would be the end of the beatles as a group. that little ugly devil wotshipping who poisoned john's mind and turned him against paul and to a lesser degree george and ringo it was she who supposedly sold her soul in a book on john i read a few years back. so yes it was about julian, it was about paul himself and it was about what yoko had done and was to do later

Paul changed the song title from Hey Jules to Hey Jude because he thought that it would be easier to sing.

Some of you guys have some pretty odd interpretations about the Beatles and some of you get so defensive. I've been listening to the beatles for about 30 years now and although Hey Jude is definately not one of my favorite tunes (it's gotta be the forever na na na thing at the end) I noticed something while I was watching a documentry on WWII. Could the title Hey Jude be a comparison of the way John Lennon was treating Julian & Cynthia to the way Hitler was treating the Jews? Jude is the German word for Jew. Let's see here; abuse, ostricize, disowned, second class. Also let us not foget that John treated Brian Epstien (who had a crush on John) deplorably, teasing and flirting with him. Personally I believe that by this time Paul and John were developing a very real hatred of one another. I would not be surprised if Paul were appalled by the way John treated Julian. I've found that most of the Beatles songs after say 66 were about a bunch of ideas sort thrown together in a colage rather than one thing or theme.

IT IS ABOUT HEROIN! Ask Paul..I did

...How could Hey Jude not be about Heroin...

I think it is about drugs, you take a sad song(person) and make it better, what do drugs do? make you better

Judas is a key slang word for heroin meaning "a friend that betrays you" Jude is short for Judas. The genius in the song in in the double meanings. Yes, cleverly written for a Lennon's son. Was Lennon betraying the group...some would say yes. Is there overtones of a double meaning...yep. Did certain Beatles experiment with drugs...duh.

You guys that say it's about sex, drugs, or just some guy that likes a girl are DUMB

What kind of asstard would interpret this song to be about drugs? It is to Julian from Paul. I had to know that to pass first grade.

ya go ahead making decisions on a simple song from paul to julian lennon who also was called. why i don't know. the boys were a little high that day probably from pot. at the end of the verses the just kept on for a couple of minutes with the la-la-la=lala and paul was carrying on with his hey jude every few seconds. so that makes hey jude a very short song into a classic. i remember my friend coming back from college in florida and freaking out cause they never played the whole song in florida

Anyone that has ever used heroin would clearly see that this song is about heroin and they used the julian thing to cover it up YES THE BEATLES USED HEROIN BUT THEY DIDNT WANT THE WORLD TO KNOW THAT.i LOVE THE BEATLES SO IM NOT JUST TALKING TRASH.JUST listen to the first 4 sentences of the song.

Here is my thought. Maybe Paul wrote this song about John leaving the Beatles to be with Yoko. Lines like: You're waiting for someone to perform with..." about John and Yoko's performance art. "Don't carry the world upon your shoulder..." about John campaigning for peace, trying to fix the world. "you have found her, now go and get her." It all just seems to me, it is all about the inner turmoil of the band and Paul saying to John to "don't you know that it's just you" to just do want you feel you need to do. Am I just crazy?
