About Song
“Let It Be” is a timeless and iconic song by The Beatles, released in 1970 as the title track of their twelfth and final studio album. The song was written by Paul McCartney and credited to the songwriting partnership of Lennon-McCartney. “Let It Be” holds a special place in the hearts of fans and remains one of The Beatles’ most beloved and enduring compositions.
The inspiration for “Let It Be” came to McCartney in a dream about his late mother, Mary, who passed away when he was just 14 years old. The dream served as a source of comfort and reassurance during a tumultuous period for the band. The Beatles were undergoing internal conflicts and facing the imminent break-up that would officially occur in April 1970.
The recording process for the song was initially fraught with tension, with McCartney producing a complex version featuring elaborate orchestration and multiple instrumental parts. However, this approach did not resonate well with the other band members, particularly George Harrison. The project was temporarily shelved.

“Let It Be”
(“Let It Be” Version)
When I find myself in times of troubleMother Mary comes to meSpeaking words of wisdomLet it beAnd in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom
Let it beLet it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom
Let it beAnd when the broken-hearted people
Living in the world agree
There will be an answer
Let it beFor though they may be parted there is
Still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer
Let it beLet it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Yeah, there will be an answer
Let it beLet it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom
Let it beLet it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom
Let it beAnd when the night is cloudy
There is still a light that shines on me
Shine until tomorrow
Let it beI wake up to the sound of music
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom
Let it beLet it be, let it be, let it be, yeah, let it be
There will be an answer
Let it beLet it be, let it be, let it be, yeah, let it be
There will be an answer
Let it beLet it be, let it be, let it be, yeah, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom
Let it be
