🎤 Lyrics & Meaning
Written by Paul McCartney for Julian Lennon (“Jude” being a stand-in for “Jules”) when John Lennon was divorcing his first wife, Cynthia
Meant to comfort and encourage Julian during a difficult time: “Take a sad song and make it better”
Also carries a universal message about hope, self-belief, and resilience
Mixes intimate concern with anthemic positivity
