“Let It Be” is a song by The Beatles, released in March 1970 as a single, and as the title track of their album Let It Be. Although credited to Lennon/McCartney it is generally accepted to be a Paul McCartney composition.

The single reached #1 in the U.S., Australia, Italy, Norway and Switzerland and #2 in the UK.
It was the final single released by The Beatles while the band was still active.

McCartney said he had the idea of “Let It Be”, after a dream he had about his mother during the tense period surrounding the Get Back/Let It Be sessions. McCartney explained that his mother—who died of cancer when McCartney was fourteen—was the inspiration for the “Mother Mary” lyric. McCartney 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 alright, just let it be.”

Naked version is great. A lot better than the one that was originally released.

When I visit a Beatle's song page and check who is listening, I always think it is wonderful that the younger generation (15 to 25) is listening and enjoying the Beatle's music I listened to when I was their age almost 40 years ago.

saying that it's in the top five songs doesn't really further your argument that it's not overrated, but whatever. what bothered me about that comment was, "There's a soothing quality to this song that you rarely hear in music anymore. ", implying that there's some special quality to this song that other music lacks for the most part, which I don't agree with. it's a nice enough song, but I can think of so many songs that are soothing and were released pretty recently. nothing against the beatles or this song, just my two cents.

I really wasn't crazy over the song LET IT BE, But when I saw Across the Universe" It brought so much meaning to the song. Yes I agree with all of you. It gave me goosebumps tooo!!! That beautiful woman and that little boy sang that song with their heart. I cry every time I watch it. Which is about 55 times. Love that movie. In fact I might just watch it again, because there WILL be an answer. LET IT BE!!!!!
