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.
