Julia vs Hey Jude

Julia - The White Album (The Beatles), 1968 ~ Written and sung by John Lennon

Hey Jude: Single, 1969 ~ Written and sung by Paul McCartney

Remember, THESE are my own opinions and they may be totally, 100% different than yours so no hate please!

Compare: So since we lost Cynthia this week, I decided to pick songs that mean a lot to John - one written about this mother and one written about his son. John wrote a song on what he remembered the most about his mother, she wasn't around during most of his childhood and when they finally got connection back with each other, she was tradically killed by a drunk driver so I feel like this helped him with all of the pain he had held in over so many years. Paul wrote Hey Jude for Julian during the divorce of John and Cynthia as a way to help him feel better. 

Contrast: Like always, the differences between John and Paul's writing styles and way they compose their music. Julia sounds a little somber, extremely heartfelt and you can tell how much John put his feelings into it. We all know how upbeat Hey Jude sounds and how for generations people have loved the song, and how famous it is. 

Likes: I love how adorable John wrote the song for his mom, I always feel so bad about how he lost his mom and how he might have never been okay after it happened. Same with Paul writing the song for Julian, surprisingly John thought Paul wrote the song for him to "help him through the time with Yoko" and all of the problems with him happening...when it was about his song that felt neglected...hmmm.

Dislikes: Hey Jude used to be my favorite song, but I swear that I listened to the song so much that I can't hardly listen to it anymore. I mean, on certain occasions I can listen to it, but it makes me kinda sad that happened. Same thing with Julia, I can only listen to the song during certain occasions.

A Hard Day's Night Hotel

There is one thing that I want to do before I die - is to go visit Liverpool and stop at any related Beatles site I can find. Strawberry Fields, the Beatles childhood homes, The Cavern Club, and of course The Beatles Museum. While looking through some Beatles articles like I always spend my freetime doing, I noticed one that REALLY sparked my interest and didn't stop talking about for days. A Beatles themed hotel was being SOLD! I had no idea that there was such a thing as a Beatles hotel, and by looking through the pictures on the article, I WAS BLOWN AWAY!

Do I have £11m? No. If I had £11m, would I buy the hotel? HECK YES! Imagine being an extreme Beatles fan and getting a chance to own a Beatles themed hotel, I'm pretty sure that would make my life forever! I am a very creative person and I love decorating rooms so I feel like owning something like this would be a way to express my love for The Beatles and my love for being creative. 

I love staying in hotels and I love how unique hotel rooms are with the ways that they're decorated. In Limerick, Ireland, the hotel room I shared with my friend matched the colors orange, purple, green and blue together with a beautiful view towards the sunset every night. There was a hotel that my mother, myself and my aunt used to go to some summers said that was designed like a castle with framed paintings of royal looking people and large, comfy beds with dark, rich toned colors painted on the walls. Those rooms are cool, yeah, but imagine staying in a certain Beatle themed room! JOHN, PAUL, GEORGE AND RINGO! 

The John themed room is white, reminding me of his home in Tittenhurst were we've seen the videos of the 'Imagine' recording with the classic white piano. Paul's room is decorated with pictures of him and his former wife Linda, a backdrop behind the bed made from newspaper headlines which I think is the coolest thing I've ever seen! The article didn't show if there was a George or Ringo room, but I'll do some more research on it and see if there are any.

If any of you guys would like to see the article I am talking about, I'll leave the link so you can check it out (it's pretty amazing so I totally suggest it): http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/incoming/liverpools-beatles-themed-hard-days-night-8928610
