In the United Kingdom itself, “ MacArthur Park” did not reach number 1 but the record “Hey Jude” which is the longest longest single at the top of the charts lasted for more than 20 years before finally being broken by “ I’d Do Anything for Love (But I Won’t Do That)“by Meat Loaf in 1993 which is 7:58. The only song that lasted more than 7 minutes that topped the charts worldwide in the 1960s was Richard Harris’s song “ MacArthur Park“. “Hey Jude” is 7 minutes and 11 seconds long. In this song, Paul McCartney tells Julian Lennon not to hold back his sadness, but rather listen to sad songs and make his feelings better with it. That’s because his father often said that Julian was just a child who was born accidentally because he was drunk and underwent love one night with Cynthia which ended in marriage. Even consider Paul McCartney as his second father. Julian himself was closer to Paul McCartney than his own father. Paul McCartney, whose childhood had to feel the loss of his mother who died of illness, finally made this song for Julian. Julian Lennon must feel the divorce of his parents, John Lennon and Cynthia Lennon, when he was just five years old. But actually this song is called Hey Jules, and was made by Paul McCartney for Julian Lennon, son of John Lennon. At a glance, the lyrics of “Hey Jude” tells the story of someone named Jude, who is heartbroken because of a woman.
