Continuing with our run of authorial interviews; I am kindly joined by James Campion, the author of "Take a Sad Song: The Emotional Currency of Hey Jude". This is a book that eschews all the grand, sweeping scope of most Beatle texts and replaces it with an incredibly detailed and granular deep dive into a single Beatles tune. If you ever wanted to know ALL there is to know about Hey Jude, or are interested in how songs work in general, this book is not to be missed!
Also, I do apologise for not actually stating the entire title anywhere in this episode!
Please enjoy. Peace and love,
Sam
