Lyrics for Hey Jude as interpreted by Ice

Hey Jude Lyrics
Hey Jude, don't make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her into your heart,
Then you can start to make it better.

Hey Jude, don't be afraid
You were made to go out and get her
The minute you let her under your skin,
Then you begin to make it better

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

Hey Jude, don't let me down
You have found her, now go and get her
Remember to let her into your heart,
Then you can start to make it better

So let it out and let it in, hey Jude, begin
You're waiting for someone to perform with
And don't you know that it's just you, hey Jude, you'll do
The movement you need is on your shoulder

Hey Jude, don't make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her under your skin,
Then you'll begin to make it
Better better better better better better, (make it Jude) ooh

Na na na nananana, nananana, hey Jude... (Repeat X amount of times)

Yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Ju- Jude-y Jude-y Jude-y Jude-y Jude-y oow-wow

Oohoo my my my...

I love this song. The 'Across the Universe' version is amazing. I love it. There are obviously enough comments on what this song means so I thought I would just input my opinion...

Can anyone comment on the image associated to this song? The four of them outside a church, but it appears above them is a picture of them also. Curious about that picture above them.

This song was written for Julian Lennon to cheer him up after John and Cynthia Lennon got divorced, or at least that's what I've heard. All in all, it's a great song with heartfelt lyrics and a catchy tune.

well im shocked no one really talked about drugs. and im sure the beatles could have possible written the song for julian. But they also said lucy in the sky for diamonds wasnt about lsd. This song could easily mean both ways the song could be interpreted. drugs are making them feel better, they had so much pressure back then "And anytime you feel the pain, hey Jude, refrain,
Don't carry the world upon your shoulders"! they were taking stress of my taking lsd and marijuana and they also tried to achieve inner peace. im not knocking any ones juian theory but for the people who dont want to believe it its true the beatles were drug users. PS: I LOVE THIS SONG AND THE BEATLES GREATEST GIFTED MUSICIANS OF ALL TIME AND EVEN BETTER PEOPLE. and in the end all were saying is give peace a chance.

This is one of Pauls most beautiful songs. For me its directed at all hetrosexual males. When a man falls in love he is uncertain whether or not to truly throw himself into the relationship because he is afraid he will get hurt. Hear Paul writes a soothing song for the male psyche telling men to go for it and it will all be alright. That is true compassion and true genius on the part of Paul. I like the line "the movement you need is on your shoulder." To me this suggests that you must look to your past to help you with your future. Or it could suggest you always have to keep moving forward, never stand still.

just look at the most poetic and powerful line then you can frame the whole song from that.

this is what the song means. it just talking about people who pretend to be cool and hide who they truely are. and that is bad because they will never recieve love -at least genuine love. you have to be who you are. hence "you know its a fool who plays it cool by making his world a little colder."

yea, after john and cynthia broke up, paul was the only beatle to go to visit cyn and julian... and on his way to see them, he wrote this song for julian.. who was obviously going through a rough time when his parents broke up.

I never really liked Paul that much... until i heard about that, I have so much respect for paul after that.

Saint Jude:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Jude

Called the Forgotten Saint, the parton saint of hopeless causes, and sometimes confused with Judas Iscariot, the betrayer of Jesus.

Just another possible angle to the song!

I think everybody understands the meaning of this song by now--I hereby declare it casual conversation time. I'll leave you a topic to discuss: Comments that look like they were written by a very dirty-mouthed third grader. Begin!

One of my all time favorites. I believe there's meaning on a number of levels here.

The song begins with Paul directly addressing John's son Julian, offering consolation in the aftermath of his parents' separating: 'remember to let her into your heart' as if to say yer mum's there for you, don't shut her out.

After that it gets less specific to Jules and more abstract, while seeming to address John himself. 'you were made to go out and get her (yoko)'...'fool who plays it cool by making his world a little colder' these definitely evoke Lennon.

But then he sings 'you're waiting for someone to perform with' and then it becomes blatant. 'don't you know that it's just you, you'll do', you're gonna be okay, you'll be a success on your own.

But on another level, this second address also goes out to Paul himself, who as John's counterpart in the Beatles faced a similar predicament as the group was breaking up, and perhaps at the time was also thinking about hooking up with Linda.


On another level, the meaning of the words hardly matters, it's the overall sound of the music, the melody, chord progression, instrumentation, the vocal delivery...it's a song of consolation, and encouragement and of joy of music itself and the uplifting power of music. The effect of the song, and particularly the Beatles' recording of it, transcends language, I think.

What I find particular cool is that the song begins with something very specific, he's singing to a little kid, a lone voice a capella starts..'Hey...' followed by plain piano chords, then some tentative tambourine notes, a heartily strummed acoustic guitar, gradually the band and more reassuring voices join in, John singing harmony with Paul, it becomes really festive, then calamity breaks loose with the double orchestra and the na na na na's....so the song begins as a direct, personal sentiment to a kid, with Paul as a sort of avuncular voice, and then gradually progresses toward a sentiment that is massive and universal, and with every beat the music wonderfully echoes this progression.

Good song, one of the only Beatles songs I like lol

Except that when they say "Hey Jude, don't be afraid
You were made to go out and get" I always think they're gonna say "laid" lol. I don't know why, but I do.
