Hey Jude

大家周中快乐！

Back to Rock & Roll，YEAH :-).

 

《Hey Jude》是由保罗·麦卡特尼作词、作曲，乔治·马丁担任制作人，披头士演唱的歌曲，于1968年8月26日与单曲《Revolution》作为单曲LP通过百代唱片同时发行 [1] [6]。

《Hey Jude》是披头士乐队成员保罗·麦卡特尼为约翰·列侬的五岁孩子Julian写的，因为他担心列侬与前妻的问题会对孩子造成心理阴影，所以用这首歌鼓励安慰Julian。又因为Jude听起来好一点，所以他把Julian改成了Jude。该曲歌词和旋律都很简单，但充满温暖和鼓励，麦卡特尼希望Julian不要沮丧，要勇于克服恐惧 [17]。

1969年3月，该曲提名第11届格莱美奖“年度制作”“最佳流行对唱/组合”奖项 [3]。2004年，该曲被音乐杂志《滚石》评为“史上五百强歌曲”之一，位列第8名 [19]。

披头士成员保罗·麦卡特尼了解到同是披头士的成员约翰·列侬与前妻分开，投入日本歌手小野洋子怀抱，令约翰·列侬的儿子朱利安大受打击，于是他欲创作此曲，安慰朱利安 [9]。在保罗·麦卡特尼前往探视朱利安和约翰·列侬的前妻的路途上，保罗·麦卡特尼就在车上已冒出了灵感，写下歌曲开头“Hey Jules….”。后来保罗·麦卡特尼回到家，把歌曲创作完成，同时立即将歌词里的“Hey Jules”改成了“Hey Jude”，而后歌曲便正式定名。他也加了一些段落叙述他和当时的恋人Linda Eastman，想要让整首歌看起来比较不像指特定某人。而后保罗将该曲弹奏给他的创作伙伴约翰·列侬，约翰·列侬认为该曲是在写他离婚的事，保罗却否认，他说他写的是他和Linda [10]。最终该曲在伦敦的Trident录音室录制，但录制的同时保罗·麦卡特尼和乔治·哈里森也产生了摩擦 [

 

Hey Jude don't make it bad

Take a sad song and make it better

Remember to let her into your heart

Then you can start to make it better

Hey Jude don't be afraid

You were made to go out and get her

The minute you let her under your skin

Then you begin to make it better

And anytime you feel the pain hey Jude refrain

Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

For well you know that it's a fool who plays it cool

By making his world a little colder

Na na na na na na na na na

Hey Jude don't let me down

You have found her now go and get her

Remember to let her into your heart

Then you can start to make it better

So let it out and let it in hey Jude begin

You're waiting for someone to perform with

And don't you know that it's just you hey Jude you'll do

The movement you need is on your shoulder

Na na na na na na na na na

Hey Jude don't make it bad

Take a sad song and make it better

Remember to let her under your skin

Then you'll begin to make it

Better better better better better better oh

Na na na na na na na na na na na hey Jude

Na na na na na na na na na na na hey Jude

Na na na na na na na na na na na hey Jude
