Everyone heard "Hey Jude" on radio in 1968. Nobody knew why Paul McCartney wrote it. Julian Lennon was 5. His father left for Yoko. His mother Cynthia cleaned houses, ran restaurants, survived alone. The entire Beatles circle chose John's side. Silent. Cold. Paul drove to Liverpool unannounced. Sat with Julian. Watched the boy cry over his father's absence. Drove home. Melody wouldn't leave his head. "Hey Jules" - words one small boy needed to hear. Became world's biggest single. 7 minutes 11 seconds. 10 million copies that year alone. But Paul didn't stop at one song. He visited for decades. Quietly. No cameras. Cynthia later sold John's old love letters - financial desperation forced her. Paul remembered her warmly until cancer took her in 2015. "Hey Jude" now streams 2 billion times. Written for stadiums? No. Written for one boy sitting on his mother's kitchen floor. Compassion composes the greatest songs.
