  General Comment:If you want to "Take a sad song and make it better" , "Don't carry the world upon your shoulders" , Don't "make your world a little colder" , You must sing "Nah nah nah nah nah nah" and Scream "Ma ma ma ma ..." !

  General Comment:This is one of my favorites by the Beatles :D
  I can't help but sing along every time I listen to it, even if I do suck at singing. That's how good it is.

  General Comment:Jude = Julian Lennon, John's first son. At the time, Paul visited Cynthia when she was divorcing John. John was barely around to see Julian grow up, and his relationship was strained b/c of his own issues and Yoko. Paul wrote this song to Julian (originally titled Hey Jules) to make him feel better.

    I was just in Liverpool and took a "Beatles Tour". The tour guide happen to grow up with the Beatles and lived across the street from Ritchie (Ringo Star). She had many Beatles stories, but did tell us that Paul wrote Hey Jude to make Julian feel better about his mom and dad's divorce and the fact that John did not spend as much time with Julian as Julian would've like.

  My Interpretation:For me, too, this song is about someone who is struggling to take the leap towards a girl whom he has found interest in. He is afraid to make that step to tell her: he loves her. He is fear of her rejection. He perhaps thinks too much and concern of facing her. He has too little confidence. This someone in fact is myself. Thus this song touches me in this way.

    In addition to this, I think it can be about dealing with the pain of separation. Maybe you really wanna be with this "girl", but maybe its out of your hands for right now. You may be on the verge of giving up, but knowing how beautiful this girl is this song calms you down. It reminds you to keep going and to Not to give into your doubts.

  My Interpretation:To me it seems like Jude is someone who suffers from depression and anxiety, and lets these things get in the way of being with the person he loves. I think this song is trying to tell him that cutting things out of his life will not help him. Rather, the only way things can start to get better, is by letting this person into his heart (remember to let her into your heart / then you can start to make it better).
  The song seems to me to serve as a general reminder to not let this person (Jude) dwell on their sadness (And anytime you feel the pain, hey Jude, refrain / Don't carry the world upon your shoulders).
