“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.”

there's probably more than two. the version i was playing seems to have been recorded under the influence of drugs...the words are slurred and forgotten and it's actually pretty funny.

it`s such a simply beautiful, meaningful- perfect! song that we often don`t pay attention to it, i think. cause it`s so obviously amazing. i`ve known this song for years, but just recently i`ve discovered the true power of it, not just "oh yeah, it`s Let it be again.." and it gives me shivers now.
