Hey Jude, don't make it bad, take a sad song and make it better....
Class. Pure Class.
Anyone can relate to those lyrics, I feel that Hey Jude is a gift from Paul to everyone who's having troubles in their life, it's a very personal song between Paul and the person who is recieving it. It just beats Let It Be by a touch, for me Let It Be is a song to mourn by, Hey Jude has a very optimistic stance.
The only one not making sense claiming to be a Beatles fan is YOU baby.
Gee thanks Wayne. Stupid me for thinking you're a decent human being. What the hell am I NOT making sense about anyway???? Please set me straight with your great Beatle wisdom.
And WTF do you mean 'claiming' to be a Beatles fan??? I've been a f-ing fan since I was 6 years old. Just because I don't obsess about every freaking little thing doesn't make me any less of a fan. You should choose your words more carefully. At least I try and discuss things and find out more. I don't claim to be a Beatles expert. I'm only trying to talk to other Beatles fans to expand my knowledge and interest. It's people like you that make me want to stay away from this forum.
Here,There,and Everywhere is my favorite Paul song. It's simple,it's gorgeous,it's perfect. I can't hear it without thinking of when I felt like that. It's very emotional.
Yeah, it's a great one. One of the albums I had as a kid was the Beatles Love Songs and I played that one A LOT!! Along with She's Leaving Home, Long and Winding Road, In My Life, Something, and Here Comes the Sun. That was a great album now that I think of it. Wonder why they don't have it on CD.
Eleanor Rigby...of the ones listed. That song has more emotion than anything he ever did imo. It darn near brings a tear to my eye whenever I hear it. Just don't tell anyone though.
Hey Jude for me, hands down. It's probably my favourite song, ever. It's great lyrically, melodically, the recorded version is amazing [The orchestra totally adds to it -- at about 3:40, 3:50 where the louder part comes in ... man. Musical orgasm if ever there was one.] the unity of the song . . . I mean, WHO else could write a song that goes "na na na" for around FIVE MINUTES like that and it'd still be beautiful and enjoyable? Paul. Friggin'. McCartney. <3 Much love.
Let It Be is, IMO, an incredibly close second. But it couldn't surpass Hey Jude. Yesterday is a great song, but... I dunno. It can't even touch Hey Jude, man.
Things they do look awful c-c-cold... yeah,I hope I die before I get old.
Hey Jude. The nanana's, the harmony, the 7 minute length... What a perfect song. So lovely, so nice, so unique...
Hands down, for me, at least. I mean, I do love Yesterday, Get Back, Eleanor Rigby and all his other songs, but I personally believe that Hey Jude was the peak of his talent expressed.
