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...

ok back to the song, i swear so many pitty stuff when it's about the music. So many people have done a cover of this song, i know i'm going back a little here but my fav. cover was by wilson pickett. Not as good as the beatles but it was good on it's own.

How to explain in two words that you're wrong:

"You're" "wrong".

This song is about jews and the holocost.
hey jude dont make it bad-hey jews and americans sont kill us(the nazs)
Take a sad song and make it better- get over the holocost even though we "the nazis" killed 6million jews
Remeber, to let her into your heart, Then you can start to make it better- just let you axcept what's been done then you can stop killing us with the americans

I think I've proved my point

Grr, I was too dumb when I wrote that. It's meant to say 31st July to 1st August...

Point of interest: Hey Jude was recorded 31st July 1968 to 1st July 1968. Julian Lennon was born 8th April 1963. This gives you an idea of the time-scale of the recording.

An addendum that I missed out: from what I've learnt about basic psychology and the books I've read which explain the dreams both John and Paul had (of which there were many) which inspired the songs they wrote (this included many of the weirder songs which, like I do whenever I write, they thought up during sleep.) Let me just bore you with a little background.

I started writing songs four years ago. Little tunes, nothing big, maybe eight bars long. I could only write four bars at a time because my attention span was so low. Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys worked in the same way. (He, if you are wondering, IS one of the people I look up to as a songwriter). I used to write little snatches of tune, four bars each, when suddenly, out popped an entire tune. I had just finished listening to The Everly Brothers' "All I Have To Do Is Dream" (again, pertinent). I thought to myself how I could do it, and in my sleep, I came up with words. Single words at first, then phrases, then sentences at a time.

Nobody can argue with me where my songwriting inspirations are from. I write down everything. Inspiration, date of authorization, and every single word of the song, in my (very sharp) click-click pencil. My point is, such that the words and the tunes were all documented at the beginning, so after The Beatles' career, some guy went back to Mr. McCartney and asked where every single song came from. The result was A Hard Days Write, but that's not the point. Everything's now been documented. Recording dates, correct to the hour, complete journals, correct with master copies of their complete 13 year schedule from 1957-1970.

From this, what do I glean? Official stories, with professional backing. That sounds arrogant, but believe me, when I say I'm right, it's been literarily proven.

Of course it's cocky. I can't help it, darlin', that's just me. Otherwise, it's such a famous interpretation, that I know it off pat anyway. Plus I've got about 20 books which tell me so.

"It's definitely about Julian" don't you think it's a little bit cocky to claim your interpretation is the official one? Authorial intent can often be taken farther because sometimes you write or dream something and you don't know what it means and different perceptions can enlighten you. I think pkjun fully backed up his opinion and both sides can be argued and there doesn't always have to be a right or wrong answer.

The person being adressed has gone through a tough time. Get on with your life is the message>>> love again. the second you move on it gets better. I don't understand: "anytime you feel the pain, refrain." Is he telling him to give up when it gets tough? -Nicole

No offense taken in the slightest. Far too often things more preposterous are meant too be taken at face value.

We've all heard the story Bobo. It was a joke. Perhaps I should have prefaced it.

Nope, definitely not. This song was about the divorce proceedings between John and Cynthia. Paul had always enjoyed a close relationship with Julian, then 5-y-o, and to show that he was supporting mother and child during the time, he drove down to Weybridge from his home in St John's wood bearing a single red rose. A lot of the driving time was spent mashing new lyrics together, and Paul started improvising "Hey Julian... hey jules..., and finally Hey Jude".

I think it's interesting that "Jude" is German for "Jew". The Beatles got their start in Germany, didn't they? This song is obviously an expression of empathy for the Zionist movement. The Jews had undergone the Holocaust, and were in the middle of the biggest test of the state of Israel--the Yom Kippur War / Seven Days War interem period. Paul is calling the Jews to stay strong, but not cold--to go after their goals of security with love and peace. To not try to pull down the entire Middle East upon their heads, but to make peace--when they feel the pain of regional strife, Paul called Israel not to retaliate (refrain) and not to "carry the world upon your shoulders."

"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."

Israel lacked true regional allies, and was entirely dependant on American / UN aid to remain afloat. However, what the Jewish world needed to do was renounce foreign aid, and stand alone in peace with its neighbors by negotiating for peace.

"Her" is peace--in both Hebrew and Latin, respectively the classical Jewish and Christian languages--Peace takes the feminine tense.

And Jewish history has always been a sad song: the Jews have been among the most persecuted people in history.

Any takers?

I do not think it has anything to do with heroin.

I saw the Beatles three times, two times in Seattle and once in Portland. When I first began loving the Beatles I was shunned and laughed at. The kids at my school were a bit slow, don't you think? The years were 64-66!
So to most of you I am probably pretty old, but a true Beatles Fan for sure, I even had Beatle Wallpaper!
