The Beatles - Hey Jude

Remember last week when I told you that music was poetry? It was no joke! This week I want you to choose a video to watch and study the lyrics of. You get to pick the video - this is not categorized by hour! After you watch the video, I want you to talk about what you think the song means in the comments section. You can respond to what other people have said or ask them questions about their responses.

Something to keep in mind - when you say what you THINK the song means, you need to be able to back it up with evidence. So in addition to saying what you think the meaning is, you also have to tell me why you think that. Have fun!

  2. I think that this song is about this girl name jude and she is sad, but this person is trying to cheer her up a little. He says make a sad song a little bit better. i think that this gut might like this girl so he is really trying to cheer her up, so maybe she will see how nice he is.

  3. I think that this song is about a girl who's name is Jude, and I'm guessing that she's having a hard time right now. But, this guy is saying "take a sad song,and make it better'. Which i think means that she can't always be upset & she can't always think negative. I beleive that he is also saying like everything can't stay bad forever & that everything gets better, if you get up and try to make things better, they will.

  4. I think that its about a girl who is upset about something and he is trying to make her feel better and when he says "take a sad song and make it better" i think he means to not be sad all the time. Instead of feeling sad or being upset about something to be happy or find the positive things about life instead of the negative.
