The Beatles – ‘Let It Be’

The End of the Beatles

Before I even knew who The Beatles were, my mom’s favorite way of consoling us during times of tragedy was to say, ‘let it be’. As in, let it go because not everything is for you to fix. As written in iconic power ballad ‘Let It Be’, the sentiment was one The Beatles were quite familiar with.

‘Let It Be’ was written by Paul McCartney in honor of his mother Mary, who passed when he was 14. In his hour of darkness, his mother’s memory could always shine a light for him.

I’ve always loved how later in their career, The Beatles opted for deeper, more introspective lyrics meant to represent certain periods in their lives.

Let It Be was The Beatles’ last album, and it made an appropriate statement about leaving problems behind and moving on in life.

As far as band breakups go, I think ‘Let It Be’ was the perfect note to close out The Beatles’ story!

+ Let It Be lyrics +

When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be

Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

And when the broken-hearted people
Living in the world agree
There will be an answer, let it be
For though they may be parted
There is still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be

Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Yeah, there will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Let it be, let it be
Ah, let it be, yeah, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

And when the night is cloudy
There is still a light that shines on me
Shine on until tomorrow, let it be
I wake up to the sound of music,
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be

Let it be, let it be
Let it be, yeah, let it be
Oh, there will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, yeah, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
