this song is not about heroin!

This song made it as an opener on my lyrics game show i start with my friends. I don't think they understand the real purpose of the music and so i open up a new meaning by posing questions and giving them information!

Aside from that i really love this song! i'll make it short and sweet! the best verse in the whole song is-And anytime you feel the pain, hey Jude, refrain,
Don't carry the world upon your shoulders
For well you know that it's a fool who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder!-

you can't wait for it to happen, not just love but anything! you need to go out and get it done! without trying or playing the fool...

"The movement you need is on your shoulder" was John Lennon's advice to Julian with regard to his attitude toward Yoko Ono. His head or mind was literally on his shoulder, and all Julian had to do was let go of his head strong attitude toward Yoko Ono.

He didn't need to join any movement for social change, or carry any heavy load of anxiety over global issues (which was John's job at the time), he only had to budge his own determination to oppose Yoko Ono.

The most over-rated band of all time. Influential, but fairly talentless. Stole black music in the early days and in the later, stole the sound of The Byrds and Zappa. They were only famous because they were an "it" band. Oh yeah, and I'm glad John Lennon is dead. He did not start a revolution. All he did was smoke pot and act smug. You can't make a protest by cowering under your bed sheets. Every fan of this band is either a feminine old pot head who hates Jesus, yet believes in Santa or is a tasteless young prickola who is so insecure about their own musical interests, that they turn to album sales and Rolling Stone mag to tell them what is good. And this is their most over-rated song. It disgusts me how you weak-minded people huddle around your computers and type in that they are the greatest band ever. They are top 50, maybe, and that is only due to influence. Talent wise, they have never accomplished shit. But oh well, it is only a bandwagon. Keep eating it up and make yourselves ignorant. John Lennon is still dead. That man never had anything to say. It was only hype and drugs. It brings tears to my eyes out of laughter to think of 60 year old men masturbating about what a rebel and threat this guy was. Lennon was a tool, not a badass. A device used to generate money and brainwash people too weak to think for themselves. Granted The Clash are over-rated as well, "That phony Beatle-mania has bitten the dust." That's all it is. It is hype. That is why Pink Floyd has billions of fans, except The Beatles don't have the talent to back up the hype to the degree that Floyd can. I hope I have challenged you people to think for yourselves. I know the first reaction to reading this may be anger, but I am only doing this because I care about you mindless sacks of flesh. Explore other artists. The Beatles are a boy band that anyone can skip and go on to live a happy life.

wow the person who wrote the comment before me needs
to shoot himself in the head... like right now.

Anyways, this song is so beautiful.
I wish Paul wrote it for me :( loll

Great Song.

John Lennon says fucking hell at around the 2:58 mark which i found preety funny.

It's a song about Heroin. Jude is a reference to Judas, Heroin is known as the "Judas drug" clincher: Lady Heroin "The minute you let her under your skin,
Then you begin to make it better"

this was written after john and cynthia divorced and john was about to marry yoko. it was to comfort julian as his father moved on from his mother.

This song is about doin heroin

this song shows how close the beatles actually were

wait let me restate that, if this song is to johns son then it shows how close the beatles were.


i didn`t read the other comments i just skimmed through it

I think you can say its about heroin...but i don't think so. I think its about someone who falls for a girl but is afraid to let her in because he is afraid of getting hurt. So, they are saying let down you guard and go for it...."you found her now go out and get her"Fear can make you a prisoner. Its about taking a risk...how do you know unless you try...
Like all songs the meaning can be what you feel that it is to you.....
Personally I think its one of Pauls best and I love the song. Thats my take.

the beatles suck
