"Hey Jude, don't be afraid . . . take a sad song and make it better!"
"In my times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me
speaking words of wisdom, let it be, let it be!

('Mary' is my Mother's name, hence this portrait collage combining thoughts of two Beatles' songs ~ "Hey Jude," and "Let it Be!"

"Let it Be" was first written in 1969 and released in 1970.)

"Hey Jude!" ~ "In 1968, Paul McCartney wrote this song for Julian, the son of John Lennon and Cynthia. (Originally called "Hey Jules.")
John Lennon and his wife Cynthia Lennon separated due to John's affair with Yoko Ono
. . . Cynthia Lennon recalled,
"I was truly surprised when, one afternoon, Paul arrived on his own.
I was touched by his obvious concern for our welfare....
On the journey down he composed 'Hey Jude' in the car.
I will never forget Paul's gesture of care and concern in coming to see us."
