The Beatles 1 Video Collection is out now. Available on: www.thebeatles.com/
Hey Jude topped the charts in Britain for two weeks and for 9 weeks in America, where it became The Beatles longest-running No.1 in the US singles chart as well as the single with the longest running time.
The Beatles did not record their promotional film until Hey Jude had been on sale in America for a week. They returned to Twickenham Film Studio, using director Michael Lindsay-Hogg who had worked with them on Paperback Writer and Rain. Earlier still, Lindsay-Hogg had directed episodes of Ready Steady Go! And a few months after the film for Hey Jude he made The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus TV special that featured John and Yoko but wouldn’t be shown until 1996
To help with the filming an audience of around 300 local people, as well as some of the fans that gathered regularly outside Abbey Road Studios were brought in for the song’s finale. Their presence had an unlikely upside for The Beatles in their long-running saga with the Musicians’ Union in that the MU were fooled into believing the band were playing live, when in fact they were miming for the vast majority of the song. Paul, however, sang live throughout the song.
The video was first broadcast on David Frost’s Frost On Sunday show, four days after it was filmed. At that point transmission was in black and white although the promo was originally shot in colour. It was first aired in America a month later on 6 October 1968, on The Smotheres Brothers Comedy Hour.
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Its always around me, all this noise
But not nearly as loud as the voice saying
«Let it happen, let it happen (Its gonna feel so good)
Just let it happen, let it happen»
[Chorus 1]
All this running around
Trying to cover my shadow
A notion growing inside
Now all the others seem shallow
All this running around
Bearing down on my shoulders
I can hear an alarm
It must be morning
[Verse 2]
I heard about a whirlwind thats coming round
Its gonna carry off all that isnt bound
And when it happens, when it happens (I wont be holding on)
So let it happen, let it happen
Its gonna feel so good
Its gonna feel so good
[Verse 1]
Its always around me, all this noise
But not nearly as loud as the voice saying
«Let it happen, let it happen (Its gonna feel so good)
Just let it happen, let it happen»
Its gonna feel so good
[Chorus 2]
All this running around
I cant fight it much longer
Somethings trying to get out
And its never been closer
If my take-off fails
Make up some other story
But if I never come back
Tell my mother Im sorry
[Bridge]
(Gibberish)
[Outro]
Baby, now Im ready, moving on
Oh but maybe I was ready all along
Oh Im ready for the moment and the sound
Oh but maybe I was ready all along
Baby, now Im ready, moving on
Oh but maybe I was ready all along
Oh Im ready for the moment and the sound
Oh but maybe I was ready all along
