' 'Let It Be' from Problems playing this file? ' Let It Be' is a song by the English band, released in March 1970 as a single, and (in an alternate mix) as the title track of their album. At the time, it had the highest debut on the, beginning its chart run at number 6. It was written and sung. It was their final single before McCartney announced his departure from the band. Both the Let It Be album and the US single ' were released after McCartney's announced departure from and the subsequent break-up of the group. The alternate mix on their album Let It Be features an additional guitar solo and some minor differences in the orchestral sections.
In 1987, the song was recorded by (which included McCartney). It reached number 1 on the for three weeks and reached the top ten in many other European countries. Paul McCartney's verse used the original take from The Beatles' 'Let It Be' sessions. See also: Origins McCartney said he had the idea of 'Let It Be' after he had a dream about his mother during the tense period surrounding the sessions for ('the White Album') in 1968. According to McCartney, the song's reference to 'Mother Mary' was not biblical.
The phrase has at times been used as a reference to the. Nevertheless, McCartney explained that his mother – who died of cancer when he was fourteen – was the inspiration for the 'Mother Mary' lyric. He later said: 'It was great to visit with her again.
I felt very blessed to have that dream. So that got me writing 'Let It Be'.'
He also said in a later interview about the dream that his mother had told him, 'It will be all right, just let it be.' When asked if the song referred to the Virgin Mary, McCartney has typically answered the question by assuring his fans that they can interpret the song however they like. Recordings McCartney first began to play around with 'Let It Be' in the recording studio in between takes of ' on 19 September 1968. Some months later, the song would be rehearsed at on 3 January 1969, where the group had, the previous day, begun what would become the film. During this stage of the film they were only recording on the mono decks used for syncing to the film cameras, and were not making multi-track recordings for release. A single take was recorded, with just McCartney on piano and vocals. The first attempt with the other Beatles was made on 8 January.
Work continued on the song throughout the month. Multi-track recordings commenced on 23 January at. The master take was recorded on 31 January 1969, as part of the 'Apple studio performance' for the project. McCartney played piano, Lennon played (replaced by McCartney's own bass part on the final version at the behest of ), and assumed their conventional roles, on guitar and drums respectively, and contributed on.
This was one of two performances of 'Let It Be' that day. The first version, designated take 27-A, would serve as the basis for all officially released versions of the song. The other version, take 27-B, was performed as part of the 'live studio performance', along with ' and '.
This performance, in which Lennon and Harrison harmonised with McCartney's lead vocal and Harrison contributed a subdued guitar solo, can be seen in the film Let It Be. The film performance of 'Let It Be' has never been officially released as an audio recording. The lyrics in the two versions differ a little in the last verse. The studio version has mother Mary comes to me. There will be an answer, whereas the film version has mother Mary comes to me. There will be no sorrow. In addition, McCartney's vocal performance is noticeably different in both versions: in the film version, it sounds rough in certain moments since he is not using anti-pop on his mic; there are also a couple of vocals performed by him (extending the vocal 'e' on the word 'be'), for instance in the 'let it be' line that precedes the second chorus.
Finally, the instrumental progression featured on the middle of the song after the second chorus (that descends from F to C), which is played twice on all released studio versions, is played (or at least is shown being played) only once in the film. On 30 April 1969, Harrison a new guitar solo on the best take from 31 January. He overdubbed another solo on 4 January 1970. The first overdub solo was used for the original single release, and the second overdub solo was used for the original album release. Some fans mistakenly believe that there were two versions of the basic track – based mostly on the different guitar solos, but also on other differences in overdubs and mixes. Single version The single used the same cover photographs as the Let It Be album, and was originally released on 6 March 1970, backed by ', with a production credit for. This version includes orchestration and backing vocals overdubbed on 4 January 1970, under the supervision of Martin and McCartney, with backing vocals that included the only known contribution by to a Beatles song.
It was during this same session that Harrison recorded the second overdubbed guitar solo. The intention at one point was to have the two overdub solos playing together. This idea was dropped for the final mix of the single, and only the 30 April solo was used, although the 4 January overdub can be heard faintly during the final verse. Martin mixed the orchestration very low in this version. The single mix made its album debut on the Beatles' compilation album.
Original pressings erroneously show the running time of 4:01 (from the Let It Be album), and not the single version's running time of 3:52. This version was also included on,. Album version On 26 March 1970, remixed the song for the Let It Be album. This version features Harrison's second guitar solo overdub, fewer backing vocals, a delay effect on Starr's hi-hat, and more prominent orchestration. The final chorus has three 'let it be ' lines, as the 'there will be an answer' line is repeated twice (instead of once as on the single) before the 'whisper words of wisdom' line to close the song. On the album, as the preceding track ' ends, Lennon is heard saying in a voice, mimicking: 'That was 'Can You Dig It' by, and now we'd like to do 'Hark, the Angels Come'.'
Anthology version An early recording of the song appears on the 1996 compilation. This version, take 1, was recorded on 25 January 1969. It is a much simpler version, as McCartney had not written the final verse yet ('And when the night is cloudy. I wake up to the sound of music.' Instead, the first verse is repeated. The track, as released on Anthology 3 also features studio talk between Lennon and McCartney prior to a 31 January 1969 take: John: Are we supposed to giggle or perhaps 'get (a) little' in the solo?
Paul: This'll – this is gonna knock you out, boy. Also, at the end of the song on the Anthology 3 version, Lennon can be heard saying, following another 31 January take, 'I think that was rather grand. I'd take one home with me. OK let's track it.
(Gasps) You bounder, you cheat!' (This is a reference to the no-overdub policy that the Beatles had adopted for the Get Back project – 'tracking' refers to the vocals on a recording.) The running time of the Anthology version is 4:05. Naked version Still another version of the song appeared on the album in 2003.
The majority of this remix is take 27-A from 31 January 1969, with parts of take 27-B (as used in the film 'Let It Be'), including the subdued guitar solo, spliced in. This version contains a different piano track than the one on the studio and single version; it can be noted that in the intro, McCartney plays an extra A bass note during the A minor chord (very similar to the way he plays the intro in the film version) and also plays a standard A minor chord in the piano at the first beat of measure two in the last verse (on the lyric 'mother', also like in the film version), while the other versions have a different piano harmonisation which can be easily interpreted as an unfixed mistake. The backing vocals in the chorus of this version are similar to those in the single version, but are significantly reduced in volume while still retaining a reverb-heavy, choral effect. Starr disliked Spector's version where his drumming was augmented by Spector's 'tape-delay-effect' to his hi-hats during the song's second verse and added shakers, so Let It Be. Naked features his original 'stripped-down-approach' drumming.
Also departed were the tom-tom overdub rolls, heard after the guitar solo during the third verse. Starr also commented that after the release of Naked, he would now have to listen to McCartney saying, 'I told you so', when talking about Spector's production. The song's running time on Let It Be.
Naked is 3:52. Unused mixes mixed the song on 28 May 1969 as he finished the mixing for the Get Back album. This version was never released. He used the same mix on 5 January 1970, which was an attempt to compile an acceptable version of the LP.
Again, this version of the LP was never officially released. Piano theme. Main piano theme The piano introduces the song, through a series of chords in the right hand over single notes in the left hand. Critical reception In his review of the single, for the, Derek Johnson admired McCartney's performance and the lyrics' 'pseudo-religious' qualities.
Although he considered that the melody paled beside some of the band's previous singles, Johnson added: 'As ever with The Beatles, this is a record to stop you dead in your tracks and compel you to listen attentively.' John Gabree of magazine found the lyrics 'dangerous politically', but viewed the song as possibly 'the best thing musically that McCartney has done'. In 2010, magazine placed 'Let It Be' at number 8 on the Beatles' 100 Greatest Songs. The magazine also ranked at number 20 on their list.

Former critic Richard Riegel included it on his 1996 list of the ten most overrated Beatles tracks, saying that, like 's ', the song 'catered to the lowest-common-denominator emotional stasis of its listeners. 'Let It Be' left the Beatles no artistic choice but dissolution.' Lennon also commented disparagingly on 'Let It Be'. In his Playboy interview in 1980, he disavowed any involvement with composing the song, saying: 'That's Paul. What can you say? Nothing to do with the Beatles. It could've been Wings.
