They were really incredible 👍🏽

Oh yea, we’ll definitely be checking out more, timeless classics.👍🏽💯

Paul McCartney's mother (who died in 1956 of breast cancer) came to him in a dream one night when he was feeling a little stressed, depressed, harried. His mother told him "Let it be" "put away all those fears and doubts, and drugs, and booze, and just let it be, it will all work out".

[@mikefetterman6782]

His mother was Mary McCartney. "Mother Mary, comes to me, speaking words of wisdom, Let it be".

[@nonrepublicrat]

[@patticrichton1135]

George Harrison's beautiful guitar playing comes through strong on this song.

This was my Dads favourite song of The Beatles. He died of cancer right before Christmas at the age of 69 and we played this song at his funeral this friday. For me this song will forever be connected with my Dad. ❤

I feel very sad every time I hear an original Beatlefan dies. It means that there is one less of us left in the world who remembers what it was like back in those days. You have my sympathies. ❤️😢 May he rest in paradise.

[@caryriggs5719]

Clean and tasteful guitar work by George.

[@scottchapin2323]

I know I am repeating what a lot of others have said but, THE BEATLES are the GREATEST Rock band that ever was or will ever be

[@petepotaczek5844]

800 million albums sold, nobody comes close!!

[@stevegirard-voiceaudiopodcasts]

The Beatles are a genre all to themselves, because they did all styles of music. From rock to blues, ballads to novelty songs. Their fame, which was literally unprecedented at that time, empowered them to try everything. They were really a gift to the world that will never stop giving.

[@jamesdrynan]

What takes this song to church is Billy Preston's organ licks at 2:36. Great guitar solo by George. Love the angelic background harmonies, too. Superb!

[@drscgiulianorussinibiologo2582]

In any field of life there have been great professionals, great artists, great champions, great musicians, great scientists, but exist also in any of these fields some people different, born to change the rules, the human history, born to become legend, the Beatles have been one these!

[@MsAppassionata]

Paul McCartney (the one with the beard on the upper right of the album cover) wrote this song about his late mother who came to him in a dream when he was depressed about The Beatles breaking up. Her advice to him was”Let It Be”. Things will work themselves out.

[@jimnicosia5934]

The magic of the Beatles was their versatility.

[@mikefannon6994]

They wrote and recorded so many songs, yet very few sounded alike. Such talent!

[@photo161]

No, the magic was NOT their versatility, the "magic" of the Beatles' was that their writing and performing were on a higher level than any other band before or since.

[@Blobnose10]

I lost my Mom last whose name was Mary, this beautiful song give me great comfort, let it be

[@EbonyIvoryReact]

Really incredible band.💯👍🏽

[@dalefriday5496]

Mary was Paul McCartney's mother. She died when Paul was young. The song describes his thoughts about his "mum" when he would be worried or concerned about things, and she would come to his mind and tell him don't worry about it, let it be, or just let it go.

[@jamespenny9482]

Every Beatles song is different!

[@billymac23454]

Simply the best band there ever was, and probably ever will be.

[@myowndrum286]

This is the song that inspired me, as a young teen, to play the piano. I taught myself this song by ear. It took me weeks but I did it! Then I started taking piano lessons.

[@57too]

I was 13 when I listened to the Beatles on the radio in 1963. I instantly fell in love with them. "I want to hold your hand" and "She loves you" were my first single. Now I am 73 and I play "Let it be" and "Hey Jude" and "Imagine" on the piano in a retirement home and people still love it. This music is timeless and I am so happy to have experienced it in my youth..... greetings from Germany, Monika.

Ringo on drums was more like a percussionist. Back then, they didnt use the word "percussionist", but that's how he drummed in several Beatles tunes.

[@papercup2517]

As one young reactor, listening to something else by the Beatles, put it: "It's SO real, it's UNREAL!" Apparently they'd never heard actual, non-digitally enhanced/adulterated music before, so to them, it seemed like some sort of anomaly... 😀

[@EbonyIvoryReact]

Thank you so much for watching and leaving this comment, we really enjoyed this beautiful piece.👍🏽

This sung stems from a dream Paul had about his late mother, Mary. In the dream she was advising him on what to do about issues within The Beatles. Her advice was to "let it be".

[@cindyphifer970]

You should check out Paul McCartney and Wings, Maybe I'm Amazed

The Beatles. A band where the word ‘Legend’ really does apply. Such talented musicians and songwriters who were a complete one-off. Unparalleled ❤❤

[@jwhiteuk]

'Hey Jude' is the track that I naturally put alongside 'Let it Be'. The most incredible back catalogue from the most influential music band in history! :)

[@nonrepublicrat]

why avoid the Beatles your whole life and just now decide to listen to them?? you can't say that you never heard of them until now, that's not possible.

[@binxbolling]

Top selling musicians of all time.

[@dagmar.6954]

I grew up with the Beatles music & had most of their records. They were part of the British Invasion. You can't go wrong with any of their music. They had so many great songs in the 60's. This song is the title track from the final studio album "Let It Be" that was released on May 1970, almost a month after the group's break-up. It had a lot of good songs on it. "The Long & Winding Road", "Get Back", "Across The Universe" etc.

[@pmR32red]

I also grew up with the Beatles, I was 15 when "Let It Be" was released...

[@noteverton]

I was 5 when The Beatles landed. I was in Liverpool and can still recall the buzz about the city, that something really, really big was about to happen!!

[@Nothin-but-the-blues]

Sorry, they were not only the part of the British Invasion they triggered this Invasion. Their appearance at the Ed Sullivan Show is said to be the beginning of this Invasion. The singer of a quiet unknown Band I think his name is Mick Jagger said: Without the Beatles the British Invasion would not have taken place! They were the ones to kick the doors open for all the other British Bands!

[@robertmartin1807]

The long and winding road is a good one

This song has brought me peace & serenity so many times over the decades. When stressed, I play it in my head.

[@eximusic]

As there were no videos back then, you heard it the way we all did when it first came out. I think videos usually detract from the music.

[@heatherqualy9143]

I selfishly wished you had listened to the single version. I think George’s solo is much better on that one. But any version is incredible. A beautiful song I never tire of.

[@daniellittle830]

The reason why it sounded natural is because it was. Actually had four musicians playing in the studio at the same time. No Auto-Tune no b*******. I'm sorry you ain't got talent if you don't show it. I don't want or need a drum machine I have my own set I play guitar not the computer. The Beatles came from nothing and now nothing compares. You just can't say I'm a musician

[@lewstone5430]

[@nigeltown6999]

Though this song is loaded with religeous musical ellements, it has nothing religeous in its words. Paul is singing about memories from home. His mother, who's name was Mary, would put on "The Sound of Music" sondtrack (a musical film with Julia Andews and lots of kids, set in preWar Austria) and she had a pet phrase, to counter any and every worry - Let it be - like leave it, things will work out on their own...

Yes! George's guitar....ain't that something?

[@Codex7777]

Paul's mother was called Mary. He had a dream of her saying 'let it be'. So the underlying theme isn't religious, though they made it ambiguous deliberately and played with the religious imagery. :)

[@patticrichton1135]

Paul never deliberately made it ambiguous when he wrote it, it was simply about him dreaming of his mother Mary saying "Let it Be' It wasn't until he saw that some people were taking it as referring to the VIRGIN MARY and feeling it was a religious song, that he stated in interviews that it wasn't his intention, that he was referring to his mom, but he said it was OK with him, if some people think of it in the religious vein and that it is the Virgin Mother.

The 'Mother Mary' in the song is not the Virgin Mary. Paul's mother was named Mary. She died when he was 14-years-old.

[@EbonyIvoryReact]

Okay, that’s good to know, we had no idea. Thanks 🙏

[@davidcochran6291]

Paul McCartney lost his mom Mary when he was 11 or so. He was having a bad time of it and dreamed his mom came to him and said almost what you said. Basically when something bigger than you has come to trouble you learn that it might not be a problem for you to deal with so just let it be. This was one of George's best solos. I can without a hint of hesitancy recommend any and all the Beatles library of music. So ENJOY!!!!!!!

not a Beatles fan but i like this song very very much

[@jimcomvideos]

Sometimes a music video helps, sometimes it hurts. I like how you rearranged to the views in this one that helped the viewer see the immediate reaction and enjoyment you seemed to be having to this true classic. More Beatles! "I am the walrus". A john lennon song with his vocals so much different from Paul McCartney's "Let It Be". The words to "I am the Walrus" make little sense as intended, but the song is a psychedelic, musical masterpiece in my opinion. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qmKtnmibpa-lZ5I This one is without video as well. Don't worry, the video will be created in your head. Lol.

[@classiclife7204]

General rule of thumb: videos have nothing to do with the songs. Some are amazing, but most of them are young directors showing off. David Fincher ("Seven", "Zodiac", etc) got his start doing rock music videos.

[@routemaster19]

The clarity and quality of the recording is amazing particularly when you realise it was done 53 years ago! Always at the forefront of recording technology in the 8 or so years they recorded together the massive changes they oversaw and indeed heralded is nothing short of miraculous.

[@steveschaff4620]

This was a TOP-40 song! What is going on with MUSIC today!?

[@photo161]

When the song is over and the guy goes on to say nothing whatsoever about the meaning of the song...He'll do anything to avoid having to address the expressive content of the song. He's just too afraid of dealing with feelings to begin to talk about why this song is so highly regarded to this day...Pathetic... In short, he has nothing to say that is worth saying.

[@davidcohen7146]

@Ebony &Ivory- This was Paul McCartney singing and When he refers to mother Mary he is talking about his mom. Her name was Mary and she died When Paul was just a teenager. The same with John Lennon. His mom also died when he was a teenager. So they both had that in common.

"choir" And you don't need to give the "poor excuse for a human being'" name, it's what he wanted, notoriety. We fans NEVER speak his name or mention it when writing about John's murder. So kindly refrain from that. People can always look up John's senseless murder and find out the name of John's murderer. I usually just say what I said above in quotes when I refer to him, or just call him "a crazy man" as you did. You could have stopped there and leave his name out. Thanks
