The great certainty with song from the album is 'Hey Jude' written by my beautiful Paul McCartney. He wrote the song in honor of Julian Lennon, son of John Lennon and Cynthia Powell. According to Paul when he learned of the separation of Cynthia and John, he went to visit Julian and Cynthia and on the way when he was inside his car he started humming Hey Julian ... After moving to Hey Jude by sound better in the song. 

The song is beautiful and is making a huge success worldwide. The lyrics are sad and beautiful at the same time. Paul and Julian are very close. Julian is five years old now, and Paul is like the father of the boy. 

Rog and even praised the letter and Paul composition.
