"I've never heard a bad song by the Beatles." Like all artists there are some that don't work quite as well as others, but those are kinda rate in their catalog. It can't be said enough that the entire catalog was written, recorded, and released over a period of 8 years. Try to imaging any modern artist create this much high quality material from, say, 2014 through today.

We both had this emotional turmoil which we had to deal with and, being teenagers, we had to deal with it very quickly. We both understood that something had happened that you couldn’t talk about - but we could laugh about it, because each of us had gone through it. It wasn’t OK for anyone else. We could both laugh at death - but only on the surface. John went through hell, but young people don’t show grief - they’d rather not. Occasionally, once or twice in later years, it would hit in. We’d be sitting around and we’d have a cry together; not often, but it was good."

One of the best songs from the 70s Baby

According to McCartney, this is a very positive song, owing to its inspiration. One night when he was paranoid and anxious, he had a dream where he saw his mother, who had been dead for ten years or so - she came to him in his time of trouble, speaking words of wisdom that brought him much peace when he needed it. It was this sweet dream that got him to begin writing the song

Paul McCartney was in a bad place searching for answers. He had a dream about his deceased mother, Mary. She came to him and just said "let it be". The rest is Rock history.

So beautiful!❤❤❤❤. The Beatles were on another level. A truly awesome band!!

Mary McCartney inspired this song written by Paul McCartney, her son... Paul lost his mom to cancer when he was a teenager. 'Let it be' was something she would always tell him when he went thru tough times... (The late) John Lennon also wrote a song 'Julia' about his late mom, who passed away when he was a teen, after being hit by a drunk driver (who turned out to be an off-duty police officer).

I think it's his best work. Even more then While My Guitar Gently Weeps.

I went past Pauls boyhood home last month, just a nice little house in a nice little street in a suburb of Liverpool, utterly unpretentious. To me it shows that no matter the material life you might have had or have, nothing beats having a strong family around you to bring out the best in a person.

I love this song. I had never heard it before, but in 2017, I spent some time in the psych ward of the hospital (nervous breakdown--everybody kept dying on me), and I can absolutely say, you will find some of the most creative people in the psych ward. My first roommate in there was a truly gorgeous young bipolar woman who was an amazing cello player. Anyway, another guy played guitar, and one night, he played this and a bunch of the patients started singing the song, and it was just so beautiful. I guess we were "the brokenhearted people." Honestly, it really was a special moment.

Simple brilliance. Paul's voice hits the mood perfectly. Love George's guitar.

Definitely one of my top 10 songs of all times for me just a masterpiece plane and simple 🥰👌👌

It's astounding that there are music lovers who have not heard EVERY SINGLE BEATLES SONG already. But glad you folks are catching up! You really need to listen to their entire catalog, and then you will have enough musical knowledge and experience to judge all that came after them.

BJ, you are so right on when you say you've never heard a bad Beatles song. There truly is no such thing. There never was, nor never will be, such artistry. I'm happy to have seen them.

I love howl the Beatles put aside all personal feelings, pulled on their pro musician pants, and make 2 more LP's before the split, perhaps saving the best for last.

You can never go wrong with a Beatles song (even individually}.

The great Beatles and their amazing songwriting.

Ever since I was a child in the 60's, I have loved The Beatles music. Great music and I mean all of it. And "Let It Be" is one of my favorites. Also that is Billy Preston on the Organ.

A Boomer's memory. I found out that the Beatles were breaking up. Like everyone else in my generation this was like the Titanic of rock groups sinking beneath the icy waters of the dark ocean of hopelessness. No!Why! But yes, it was true. Then, something happened that had never happened before. News came on that they were going to play a last song live, on TV, in the middle of the afternoon when we had all gone home from school. When I heard this, my best friend told me to come over to his house (a 10 minute walk from mine) to watch it together. We did. After listening to it Jon (not John) asked me if I liked it. I said, no. I then asked him if he did. He said yes, enthusiastically. I was puzzled but said nothing. Later, I went over it in my mind and still felt the same way. It was because it seemed very sad as the last song I would ever hear from the group that, to me and my generation, was beyond reach as the greatest ever. The next day, and for years of days after, it played over and over endlessly on the radio. Having begun to recover from my sorrow, I started to see that Let It Be was ( and to this day is) one of the greatest songs of all time. Now, 52 years on, it is still one of the very few to make it to the top of music's Mount Everest of eternal music masterpieces! As for the sadness, it is still there, but overshadowing it is...hope! For me, hope's name...is Jesus! God bless you all!! 🙏

One of their most beautiful songs. To this day it brings a tear to my eye and I know every word still.

WOW such a beautiful song, Touches your soul ,thanks, you guys are wonderful, stay safe and enjoy your day while I enjoy your channel, Peace and love.

Wrote the words, wrote the music, played the music and sang the words. Greatest band the world's ever seen.

it’s a lot of serendipity imo. His mother was named Mary but it makes it seem more spiritual. Billy Preston was there to add warmth on keys and he turned in almost a pump organ type performance. When he does that descending sequence it’s definitely going to church. And that guitar, shoo! Free and easy, not trying to play every possible note.

The piano brings the hymnal feel to this song but the killer for me is the guitar - pain, sorrow and anguish in those notes. A brilliant song!

They set the standard for all other pop rock artists to try and follow or expand upon if they had the talent and desire to do so!👍🏻❤️✌🏻

Glad you guys got to enjoy this uplifting song. This and 'Long and Winding Road' seem to be a peak for the Beatles, as Paul dipped into spiritual wisdom. A blessing.

I love all their songs.

At the time, 'Let it Be' had the highest debut on the Billboard Hot 100, beginning its chart run at number 6 and eventually reaching the top. It was the Beatles' final single before McCartney announced his departure from the band.

This was my grandmother's favorite song. She bought me my first two Beatles albums for my 13th birthday in 1979, Let It Be and Revolver.

The Beatles transcended rock & roll and pop music to become something unique. Their music will live for centuries, like classical music. I got to see Paul McCartney in concert in 2011, and I remember thinking that it was like seeing and hearing Mozart live playing his own music.

Yes Lawd. Pure Royalty! 👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑

Behind every Beatles song was their producer, George Martin. His role in the success of this incredible band should not be understated. Whenever you here complex musical instrumentation on a Beatles tune you should raise a glass to George Martin, one of, if not the, greatest producer in music history, and one of the best argued cases for being the fifth Beatle along with Stuart Sutcliffe, Brian Epstein and Billy Preston.

A song about his mother, but with spiritual overtones. That's why he says "Mother Mary", instead of the normal way of referencing one's mother (i.e. "my mother, Mary", or "Mary, my mother"). Great song choice!

I've always felt like this song was the perfect musical expression of exiting the stage with a graceful, classy finality.

My favorite George Harrison solo. He recorded this solo in Jan 1970 while putting together his song, 'I Me Mine', with Paul and Ringo. It would be the last time they were ever together as Beatles in the studio. Billy Preston guests on organ for the church feel. He was a great addition to their group when they tried to record a Get Back album and movie. Billy Preston plays the Fender Rhodes keyboard with them on their famous Rooftop performance.

Yes, an inspirational song indeed. "mother Mary" was a referenced to his real mother. He had a dream about her coming to him telling everything will work out. Let It Be. She passed a way when he was a young teenager, I believe about 14 years old or 15. A lot of people took "Mother Mary" to be "Jesus'" mother. LOL It is understandable.

The phrasing is "mother mary" because it scans musically.

Thanks for bringing this back to me! I grew up with the Beatles in the 60's and have now come full circle to re-energize that old flame. What strikes me most, as never before, is the subtle perfection of Ringo's drumming. Perfectly suited to each tune. Maybe I'm amazed!

One of my earliest memories.. It's the late 70's, I'm walking up a set of stairs. A little crappy 70's tv, sitting on a dresser, is on. Paul is on it singing this song. Thats it, thats the whole memory.

You literally could do almost any Beatles song from any of their albums and it would just be magnificent. They really didn’t do anything that wasn’t superb. Best band that ever existed.

One of my favorite Beatles tunes! So simple and yet so powerful. Hey Jude and Obla-di Obla-da are other great ones to check out

My favorite McCartney/ Beatles song. Paul said his Mom used to say this to him and the song came to him in a dream

Every part in this song is incredible, but those drums! Absolute perfection.

Such chills thinking about what it was like to hear something like this play on the radio for the first time. What were they doing, and what were they thinking about? So many KIDS hearing it are now very old or not with us anymore. Nostalgia is a very powerful tool.

This song will continue to be a masterpiece for many generations

The greatest band hitting on all cylinders.

John Lennon's "imagine" and "Give Peace A Chance" George Harrison's, "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" and "My Sweet Lord" Billy Preston's, "That's The Way God Planned It" from George's fundraising Concert for Bangladesh - all timeless messages that are completely relevant today. 🌈🙏 Love you two 💞

Great job! The Beatles songs, like this one of course, have been in my head for over 50 years and I can't just listen to them and enjoy them. I can only enjoy the songs through people like you. I love watching you hear the song and find pleasure in doing so.

Thanks for playing the version with the heavy solo and outro. This is the best one.

"My heart is Full" - ahh, beautiful my dear! ..Let it Be is the first ever power ballad.

I was born 1962..that year The Beatles coming to my brain...and never go out

One of the all time greats. In 1999, Rolling Stone magazine published it's Top 100, presumably because of the millennium of those 100 songs, TEN were by The Beatles, with this song at #20. The list was revised in 2021 to include more contempory bands but The Beatles were still there with their solid 10. They'd moved up and down a bit but that shows just how big and influential they were.

I lost my own mother "Mary" last year, this beautiful song gives me great comfort

IMO one of the best songs ever written. John Lennon’s Imagine also comes to mind.

The Beatles are unique in many ways, but one other thing that set them apart is that about 95% of their songs have a positive message, or positive lyrics.

Even though I am first listening this reaction in September, I love to go back and hear some of your reactions from months ago I may have missed. This is a great one!

Great iconic song by the most iconic band in history. When The Beatles were about to record their album "Let It Be" in January, 1969 Paul was very stressed about the cracks that were forming in the band. He was beginning too see the end and was very concerned about it all. One night in his dreams his beloved mother, Mary came to him in a dream and told him to just let it be, you can't control everything, what will be, will be. I think this experience gave him some comfort. George Harrison kills the guitar solo on this one, his guitar is almost speaking. I hope you two continue your Beatles journey as you two have no clue about the catalog of music these guys released between 1963 to 69.They covered just about every genre of popular and rewrote or should I say wrote the book on how to make studio recordings starting in late 1966 or even mid 66 with Lennon's "Tomorrow Never Knows" from their "Revolver" Lp. These four guys along with Bob Dylan were and still are one offs. I feel very safe in saying that you will never see the likes of these people in your lifetime and beyond your lives. You know I'm gonna bring up George's "Here Comes The Sun" from their "Abbey Road" 2019 50th anniversary remix with video, sounds incredible ! Also Their 1968 video of Lennon's "Revolution" great color and sound. In this one you'll see how The Beatles could rock out with the best of them. Never try to put them in a box and say they were this or that. They truly did it all. Rocker's, pop, greatest ballad writers ever, greatest LSD music ever, Listen to their "Rubber Soul" Lp, the greatest pot record ever and that was back in 65, Rockabilly, orchestra music. Like I said, they did it all. The proper way to listen to them is chronologically from 63 to 69. Some will say 70 when the "Let It Be" Lp was released but that was recorded in January, 1969 and sat on a shelf for a year. "Abbey Road" recorded in the summer of of 69 and released in September of 69.This was actually their last album. Listen chronologically and hear the growth of this band in 7 short years. Like I said, you will never see another Beatles. Lennon/McCartney will never happen for many many years into the future. These two were songwriting geniuses. Lennon's brain and his view of the world around him was very unique. One of a kinder with this guy. Hey Asia, more George Carlin in the future please. This guy was The Beatles and Dylan of comedy ! 👌👌👌☮️✌️💕🙂

14 year old me, had this album. Love every song on the album. Love the not as well know, Dig a Pony also. So blessed to have lived the Beatles era. Mother Mary was actually Paul's mum he is referring to, she passed when Paul 14 also. All of the Beatles I feel are and were spiritual men. On the instrumentation, I think Ringo deserves all of his accolades, the way he drove that band, cannot be understated

Hard to believe how blessed I was to see the Beatles at Olympia Stadium in Detroit in 1966. The openers were The Cyrkle (Red Rubber Ball, Turn Down Day), The Ronettes, The Remains(Don't look back), and Bobby Hebb (Sunny). I remember the Beatles actually took a chartered bus right after to play at their next concert. I also remember it was next to impossible to hear them due to all the screaming girls. I saved my allowance a long time waiting for that concert. I still was short and my mom gave me $1 to take for spending money. It cost $5.50 for my ticket. Amazing. WKNR Radio hosted it and promoted a lot of it. WKNR in Detroit is where the rumor that Paul had died began. Another fun fact. The Beatles only played 11 songs set that day with 2 shows the same day. Sometimes being old has lots of memories that younger people can appreciate.

That lead guitar from George Harrison up is mind blowingly good.

It's fun to hear you guys react to this music. This is later Beatles music. I was about 3 years old when The Beatles first hit the US on the radio and the Ed Sullivan Show. I was too young to know them as the lads from Liverpool although I do remember hearing 'A Hard Days Night' playing from a radio when I was 4 years old. I found out many years later my mother was a huge fan of The Beatles. :) Their musical style had shifted by the time they did this song and continued to shift. I grew up with it. :)

It’s great seeing people feel the music 🙌🏻

The Beatles are amazing! They're in my top 3 artists/bands of all time! Paul McCartney dreamt about his mother who's name was Mary. She died of Cancer when he was 14 years old. The Beatles had been going through some really bad things within the band and he dreamed that his mother came to him and told him to let it go..let it be....that it's going to be ok. Cool..yeah? Awesome song/reaction! ✌❤🎶😎

One of Beatle Paul's very finest moments (with major boosts from George Harrison on lead guitar and Billy Preston at the keys) ---"Eleanor Rigby" and "Got to Get You into My Life" are other absolute must-hears from his Fabster days...

I love their reactions to this wonderful song. Totally tuned in to it. The universality of music.

I have always said, this song just soaks into your soul. He is singing about his mother so it is full of meaning and emotion.

Asia you do make me smile. Your facial expressions when hearing brilliance as your brain tries to compute what you are hearing, is to behold. It’s like you know you are listening to something special and your brain needs some time to catch up to your emotions. I love it. For the record this is one of the greatest songs ever made.

Y'alls reaction was fantastic! It's amazing how many Beatles' songs I hear different people say that sang in elementary school. Let It Be, All Together Now, Octopus's Garden, Ob-la-di Ob-la-da, Yellow Submarine, Hey Jude. The list goes on and on.

AWESOME SONG!!! THE BEST!!! ❤ thankyou guys love it💞

Those of my generation took it all in our stride as these songs came out in the 1960s. Now, we can but sit back and enjoy other generations enjoying the songs of our youth. Well done, both of you!

There are a zillion Beatles tunes to marvel over but this is my absolute favorite from a standpoint of how it hits me in the heart.

a zillion? what drugs are you on?

Paul's mother (Mary) used to say that to him when he was troubled , as a youngster. This song pays homage to Mother Mary. And it's so true : Dont let it get to you, let it be, it'll resolve, eventually and like all things, it'll pass. Just chill, dont sweat it.

I was 11 years old when my brother brought this album home. I think I listened to this track 10 times that first day. I cried it was so beautiful. My parents even loved it, and that’s something. I wish the peace and solace it gave me would permeate the world today.

My grandson taught himself to play the piano by playing Let It Be. He's a music major and teaches music to kids

I’ve always loved this masterpiece. It sometimes brings me to tears.
