The song "Letter to Jude" by Greco & Green tells the story of a person who has spent time in Paris searching for something, but ultimately realizing that talent and love may not be enough. The writer decides to leave Paris and painting behind, and sends a letter to their friend Jude enclosing 300 euros. The writer instructs Jude to convert the money into cash and celebrate in Bradley's Spanish Wine Bar without them, as they will be gone by the time Jude receives the letter. The writer mentions that they will be shuffling off this mortal coil that night, and if Jude is reading the letter, it means the deed is done. The writer recalls their last meal at Brasserie Lipp and urges Jude not to waste a second. Throughout the letter, the writer reflects on their time in Paris and the realization that certain things may not hold the same value as they once did. The writer also expresses a preference for Chagall over Matisse, adding a personal touch to the letter. Ultimately, the song captures a sense of finality and closure as the writer prepares to leave Paris and move on from painting.
