Just Let It Be.

Song: Let It Be

Band: The Beatles

Album: Let It Be (Single)

Let It Be is one the The Beatles most famous song, and one of the most meaningful in my opinion. In many cases, it describes what a person is going through, when they are in "times of trouble." There is a bit of controversy as to what the song is talking about, when we can assume that "Mary" is another name for Marijuana. If you think so, well, tell me, but now I am concerned with how the song appears to me.

According to Wikipedia (So, 60% chance it's wrong), Paul McCartney was inspired by this song because of a dream, where Mary, his mother, came to him and whispered "It will be alright, just let it be."

Of course, "Mother Mary" is an allusion to the Bible, and speaks of purity, faith and truth. Again, this will have a different meaning for different people, particularly Christians and non-Christians. For me, as a non-Christian, the allusion of Mother Mary means peace, and truth. Because, in the end, those who stick to that will end up winners, and those who don't, well, let's say they won't go far.

The song was released after McCartney announced his departure from The Beatles, and it clearly speaks of how even in the worst of circumstances, there will always be an answer, or someone to hold one to, thus "And when the night is cloudy, there is still a light, that shines on me, shine until tomorrow, let it be."

All in all, the song is a song of hope for those who are in their darkest hour, wheather it be heartbroken, betrayed, or even a mistake they made.

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, .....

And when the night is cloudy, there is still a light, that shines on me,

shine 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, .....
