I'll go for it nonetheless, even if I do get everything wrong, because it's such a good illustration of two compositional lessons - how to fill a large canvas with simple means, and how to use diverse elements such as harmony, bassline, and orchestration to articulate form and contrast. 'Hey Jude' is such a monumental favorite, I'm almost dissuaded from touching it because of the pressure to say something profound.
