Something for Thursday

Last week's post here was a cover of a Beatles song, and here I have another one. It's the Beatles song I never thought I'd like -- I mean, for years, I've hated this song. But then I watched the movie Across the Universe (which, frankly, blew my mind in a lot of ways). This movie is a musical whose songs are all Beatles songs, almost all of them seamlessly worked into the story in logical ways, and this one comes toward the end, at one of those "movie romance" moments when all hope seems lost.

Here's "Hey Jude", from Across the Universe. (The dark-haired fellow is Jude; singing to him, from across the Atlantic, is his American friend Max.)

OK, John and Paul. You win. I give.
