What does everyone think about this song? Loads of people I know absolutely love it but I doubt its in my top 30 Beatles songs. 

 

Its basically their Wonderwall.

 

 

I know you are a huge Oasis fan boy but fuck off.

Yeah, nowhere near their best, imo. Is it McCartney? I bet it's McCartney.

 

 

Yeah it is McCartney... written about Lennon's infant son.

And a typically wonderful piece of Lennon-McCartney collaboration.

"Jules" turned into "Jude".

McCartney initially had "the movement you need is on your shoulder" as a filler line, when he showed it to Lennon as a work-in-progress.

Lennon told him it was the best line in the song, so it stood.

 

Anything wrong with McCartney?

Think it was written to comfort Julian Lennon after his parents split

As far as pop ballads go, don’t get much better than that IMO.

No mate, not at all. He just always seems to be the main composer of the Beatles songs I like least (Yesterday and When I'm 64 immediately spring to mind). Love plenty of his other stuff, though.
