It contains information about the particular song, taken from the booklet. After the lyrics, there is a general information part.I sense jealousy in this quote.George Harrison / Beatles: Songs & Lyrics Also I think George’s beautiful guitar solo is an important part of the song. (It should be noted that John was way off here because “Let It Be” was actually recorded well before “Bridge Over Troubled Water” was released. I know he wanted to write a “Bridge Over Troubled Water.” I don’t know what he’s thinking when he writes “Let It Be.” I think it was inspired by “Bridge Over Troubled Water.” That’s my feeling, although I have nothing to go on. What can you say? Nothing to do with the Beatles. I think it’s a great thing to have faith of any sort, particularly in the world we live in. I’m quite happy if people want to use it to shore up their faith. McCartney: Mother Mary makes it a quasi-religious thing, so you can take it that way. So that got me writing the song “Let It Be.” I literally started off ‘Mother Mary’, which was her name, ‘When I find myself in times of trouble’, which I certainly found myself in.



In the dream she said, ‘It’ll be all right.’ I’m not sure if she used the words ‘Let it be’ but that was the gist of her advice, it was, ‘Don’t worry too much, it will turn out OK.’ It was such a sweet dream I woke up thinking, Oh, it was really great to visit with her again. It was so wonderful for me and she was very reassuring. And it was so great to see her because that’s a wonderful ting about dreams: you actually are reunited with that person for a second there they are and you appear to both be physically together again. General CommentMcCartney: One night during this tense time I had a dream I saw my mum, who’d been dead 10 years or so. I wake up to the sound of music, Mother Mary comes to me When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to meĪnd in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of meĪnd when the broken hearted people living in the world agreeįor though they may be parted, there is still a chance that they will seeĪnd when the night is cloudy there is still a light that shines on me
