Julian Lennon reveals his 'love-hate' relationship with 'Hey Jude,' which Paul McCartney wrote for him when his parents divorced.
, and he revealed mixed feelings over the Fab Four’s hit “Hey Jude.” During the podcast appearance, Lennon revealed that he was thinking of writing a memoir about his life. Maher then prompted the subject of “Hey Jude” by suggesting that in the film adaption of his life story they start with the “hook” of McCartney driving to see a young Julian in the wake of his parent’s divorce. Lennon didn’t seem to get such a kick out of the proposed scene, having lived it himself.
“I have a love-hate [relationship] with it, I have to say,” Julian explained. “I’ve probably heard that song and heard renditions of it more than most people alive. And even my dear friends send meFrom left, Rolling Stones guitarist Brian Jones, Yoko Ono, Roger Daltry of the Who, John Lennon with son Julian on his lap, and guitarist Eric Clapton in London in 1968.
Lennon continued that he was thankful for the well-intentioned song, without question, “but the other real thing is that people don’t really understand that it’s a stark and dark reminder of actually what happened.” “The fact that Dad walked out, walked away — left Mum and I. That was a point of complete change and complete disruption and complete darkness and sadness. I mean, I was only 3, but I recognized that something was up, you know? But for Mum, it was heartbreaking. So it’s a reminder of that time and that place. So I get both sides of it, but a lot of people don’t necessarily understand there’s a dark, yin and yang of that song.
The Beatles’ biggest U.S. single was released in 1968. McCartney wrote “Hey Jude,” originally “Hey Jules,” in the summer of 1968, singing the words to himself in the car as he drove to visit Lennon’s first wife, Cynthia, and their son in the midst of a messy split that involved a certain Yoko Ono.
