Paul McCartney Reveals Why He Wrote 'Let It Be'

[@saifdes]

I love his energy when he answers the same question for the umpteenth time.

[@BilisNegra]

Yep. it's like a good teacher explaining the same lessons for years yet not sounding bored.

[@NaaHva]

William is just retelling some old lies.

He has, there a video of him explaining how the idea occurred to him explaining George Martin.

I love Paul's music and he seems very sweet but come on , dude. Neither of us know him personally, 99.9% of the people that have watched this have never personally met him either. You'll never truly know these celebrities

[@ryandhall]

That song is sacred to me. It’s pulled me out of some of the deepest and darkest holes.

[@NaaHva]

It has a dark meaning when you play it backwards. Then you'll hear William singing "He's been dead"; singing about the real James Paul McCartney (1942-1966)

It hits you like a ton of bricks when you know the meaning of the song. So beautiful.

[@busterholmsimonsen72]

Wow....... "whisper words of wisdom let it be" what an artist ❤❤❤❤❤

[@mastod0n1]

I have super vivid dreams, which is a blessing and a curse, and the night before my grandma's funeral she was in my dream. My family was trying to convince her to go. She was always super stubborn about going out for dinner or other family events and she was being stubborn in the dream. I remember saying "Grandma, it's your funeral so you have to go." She's visited me in my dreams only twice since then.

[@NebulaEnglish]

Haha lady wanted to skip her own funeral! That's such a cool story.

[@mastod0n1]

@Nebula English yeah it made me laugh on what was otherwise a sad day.

[@Jomster777]

​@@NebulaEnglishI get vivid dreams about my father as well after he passed away. It feels so real to embrace him and feel the _sandos_ he would always wear. Probably the only good dreams I getting these days.

[@philipgwilliam6989]

Paul's talent is something unusual. He is so creative and brilliant. He can do so many styles of music so effortlessly it's kinda unreal.

[@markberman6708]

Heard him talk about this awhile ago... such a thing needs a lot of thinking about... a song so powerful and so meaningful to millions and just done again with Dolly and Paul and Ringo... came to him in a dream, to him in a time of troubles, his mother came to him and gave comfort and peace and he gave it to millions and millions and still going today.... that pebble tossed into humanity, into the gifted hands and heart of someone who could pass it on... ... echoes of love and comfort and strength... and peace amongst turmoil.

[@kimkauffman9194]

One of the greatest songs 🎵 ever written. 😊

[@NaaHva]

If you play it backwards, William has a complete different message.

[@nanciguenee6700]

Dear Paul I think that Mother Mary is very proud of you❤🎉 and all your Life you've sing wonderful musics to us. Thank you so much Paul 😊we love this one too❤

[@lisameakin1706]

It is a great song and I like the fact that it relates to spiritual things in dreams. We all have that side to us. People pass on and out of our subconscious selves and that means we maintain that connection to the past and present. Let it be is a song that will stay with me for life. I think it is about maturing and letting the nonsense wisely pass
