Let It Be or Hey Jude?

[Canadiens1131]

Which song do you think is superior, and why?

 

[IWasBored]

hey jude.

i don't know why, and i'm a little preoccupied by the fact that it looks like there's snow on the ground to try and figure it out.

 

[Down Under]

Hey Jude………………The words, the meaning and the great length of it.

 

[~LadyLemon~]

Hey Jude. Let It Be is great, but a bit overblown if you know what I mean...

 

[phanan]

Definitely Hey Jude. The long fade out alone is better than Let It Be.

 

[1stepcloser]

Let It Be. i think it's better musically.

 

[IWasBored]

Definitely Hey Jude. The long fade out alone is better than Let It Be.

na na na na nananana nananana, hey jude.

yeah, you're right

Exactly.


Hey Jude is just

 

[sami0201]

It's gotta be Hey Jude.

 

[yertle-the-turtle]

'Let It Be'. It was one of the first Beatles songs I ever heard, plus I'm one of the few people who find all the 'nanana's in 'Hey Jude' a bit repetitive. Plus I like the guitar break in 'Let It Be'.

 

[love_u2_adam]

let it beeeeeee

mother mary

 

[VintagePunk]

Neither. They've been so overplayed by classic rock stations over the past several decades I'm genuinely bored with them. If I wanted to listen to Beatles with the big, epic sound, I'd rather tune into Golden Slumbers/Carry that Weight/The End or I Want You (She's So Heavy).

 

[one4u2]

IT's all good

the same for me

 

[SunBloc]

Is this a trick question? Both. Have to agree with yertle, don't care for all the nanana's in Hey Jude. Let it Be is timeless and speaks to everybody.

 

[LikeNoOneBefore]

You can't make me decide!!!!!!!!!!

It's...too hard...*sniff*

 

[Tiger Edge]

Hey Jude. Hands down!

::has Hey Jude as a phone ring::

Oh, no you didn't.

You didn't just ask me to choose between a couple of duds, did you? Objectively speaking, of course.

I guess "Let It Be" is slightly less horrific.

"Hey Jude" has got to be on the short list for most overrated songs of all time. It's vision and imagery is nothing short of trite. The song is the musical equivalent of a giant goopy tear. Nothing like forgetting you have an imagination to push those buttons.

As for the beloved 'na, na, na's', at the end. Think about this objectively and study the artistic effect of that orchestration. Don't you think it should be about finding the right note at the right time with the right feel that brings out the right intent? That sounds like a good definition of musical art, to me.

Since, I put it in those terms it now seems like they put a little too much syrup on the pancakes, if you know what I mean with those 'na, na, na's'.

Remember, it's all in the recipe when it comes to songwriting and that's an objecitve reality. Unfortunately, "Hey Jude" could've been cooked up by Sam the Butcher. It has all of the finesse and fine tuning of ingredients of a butcher's work.

What the hell does that all even mean? Are you hungry?

That would be the postal equivalent of a snausage. Sure, they're tasty, but they're for dogs. And is that not the true spirit of music? Let us think on this.

That needs to be a real site.

 

[elevation2u]

hmmmmm, to be completely honest I don't care for either of those two songs like I also don't care for Come Together, Back in the USSR & The Long & Winding Road. And, mind you, I do like the Beatles...but those are the few songs out of their large lot that for some reason never stirred much in me except annoyance.

 

[LMP]

I love both of them, but Let It Be is the better song to me.

 

[angelordevil]

The freak-out at the end of Hey Jude brings it slightly above elevator music. Both songs have been massively overplayed.

 

[U2girl]

Both, if I had to pick Hey Jude.
It's one of the first Beatle songs I remember liking, and possibly my favourite song of theirs that has piano in it.

 

[IWasBored]

Both songs have been massively overplayed.

the advantage to avoiding the radio is that you never hear either of them.

 

[thatsnotmypuppy]

Hey Jude. Easily IMO.
