上週介紹Styx主唱Dennis DeYoung的新MV "To the Good Old Days"，領銜的是Julian
Lennon，Julian的父母親是The Beatles披頭合唱團的團員John Lennon和元配Cynthia，出生於1963年4月8日，披頭有三首歌創意來自他，那是"Lucy
in the Sky with Diamonds" (1967) ， "Hey
Jude" (1968)及"Good Night" (1968) 。
"Hey Jude" 1968年曾經在Billboard Hot 100榜獲得過9週排行榜冠軍，在滾石雜誌歷年500大歌曲榜The 500 Greatest Songs Of All Time獲得第8名。
"Hey Jude"這首歌也是The Beatles最長的一首單曲，全長達7分11秒，錄音時製作人George Martin反對錄這麼長，他認為電台的DJ們將拒絕播這首歌，但John Lennon堅持，他說:他們看是我們錄的歌會播。
Paul
McCartney於1968年寫了這首歌，他哼著曲子去拜訪即將變成前妻的Cynthia和兒子Julian，Paul後來在披頭回憶錄中曾說過:本來歌詞開頭想寫鼓勵的詞給Julian "小傢伙!你爸媽要離婚了，我知道你不高興，但你會沒事的"，"Hey Jude"的歌名原來是Jules，來自舞台劇Oklahoma劇中的Jud，這時也趁機改成Jude。
樣帶完成後John Lennon聽了很喜歡，但John認為Paul的這首歌衝著他而來，原因是Paul對John和Yoko Ono的關係不爽，這事使John Lennon和 Paul McCartney的關係蒙上一層陰影。
Julian Lennon受父親影響成年後一度也成了流行歌手，1985年的Too Late For Goodbyes曾經獲得第5名。2006年Julian製作環境生態紀錄片WhaleDreamers，2020年曾參與另一紀錄片Women of the White Buffalo的製作工作。
Too Late for Goodbyes
Songwriters: Julian Lennon
Ever since you've been leaving me,
I've been wanting to cry.
Now I know how it feels for you,
Now I know how it feels for you,
I've been wanting to die.
But it's much too late for good-byes,
But it's much too late for good-byes,
yes, it's much too late for good-byes.
Time has gone since I've been with
you
, and we've been starting to die.
Now it seems you don't care for me,
Now it seems you don't care for me,
and I don't understand why.
But it's much too late for good-byes,
But it's much too late for good-byes,
yes, it's much too late for good-byes.
Ever since you've been far away
, I've
been wanting to fly.
Now I know what you meant to me,
Now I know what you meant to me,
I'm the one who should cry.
And it's much too late for good-byes,
And it's much too late for good-byes,
yes, it's much too late for good-byes.
Ever since you've been leaving me,
I've been wanting to cry.
Now I know how it feels for you,
Now I know how it feels for you,
I've been wanting to die.
And it's much too late for good-byes,
And it's much too late for good-byes,
yes, it's much too late for good-byes.
