This song was written be Paul to Julian, John and Cynthia Lennon's son.
John and Cynthia had just been divorced, and Julian, being young, didn't understand what was happening between his parents, but did feel bad about it. So Paul wrote this song on his way to John's house. So in a way, this song is about divorce. This song was originally titled "Hey Jules" because of Julian's nickname, Jules, but Jude naturally sounded better.
Hey Jude was probably one of John's favorite Paul songs.
@flamingpie Jude obviously sounds better only because he used it. I'm not saying you don't know what you're talking about but—what on earth does it have to do with little kid? The problem with interpretations is that, well it's not a problem at all, it's almost with all great art people walk away with their own ideas. I'd say that even artists themselves mostly can't relate to something they wrote at the time further down the line. People change. It seems to me this song is about an individual who's isolated and wounded by the past. The past haunts Jude....

It's really quite something else.

Fascinating...thank you. One of the few Beatles songs I REALLY like, and now I know the reason for the song. Kudos!
