This is the heartbreaking story behind one of the most comforting songs ever written. In 1968, Paul McCartney was driving to visit Julian Lennon — John Lennon’s 5-year-old son — right after John left his family for Yoko Ono. Julian was confused, hurt, and caught in the middle of a very public breakup. On that car ride, Paul started singing words in his head… “Hey Jules… don’t make it bad… take a sad song and make it better.” It was meant to comfort a child whose world had just fallen apart. Later, Paul wanted to change one line — “The movement you need is on your shoulder.” He thought it sounded silly. But John Lennon stopped him. He said, “That’s the best line in the song.” So Paul kept it. And every time he sings Hey Jude, that line reminds him of John… and the little boy it was written to save.
