Today’s topic: The Beatles - Let It Be

Later I’m going to tell you how me and my mom both laid down and had a dream about the song, Let It Be. But first, let’s talk about how it was written.

Let It Be is a song by the English rock band the Beatles, released on March 1970 as a single. It was written and sung by Paul McCartney, and credited to the Lennon-McCartney partnership.

McCartney said he had the idea of "Let It Be" after he had a dream about his mother during the tense period surrounding the sessions for The Beatles ("the White Album") in 1968. Mary Patricia McCartney died of cancer in 1956, when he was fourteen. In rehearsing the song with the Beatles in January 1969, in place of the "Mother Mary" lyric, McCartney occasionally sang "Brother Malcolm", a reference to the Beatles' assistant Mal Evans. 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'. In a later interview he said about the dream that his mother had told him, "It will be all right, just let it be."

It’s funny because when my mom was sick, we both heard the song by Paul McCartney “ Let It Be” on the same night in a dream. Me and my mom were very close.Somehow she knew she would die young. That’s something she felt and strongly believed. But I kept on having faith that she would not die.

When she died in the hospital, I prayed that God would bring her back, and God did and allowed her to live just a little while longer. The Lord had showed me a miracle, but it was still in God’s will for him to take my mother. The breath of my mother left again around noon time. I knew I had to let it be. Still feeling like it wasn’t the end, I knew that Christ was there and I heard him say some words to me. My mom died in the month of May of 2001. She was 53 years old.

“Let It Be” had the highest debut on the Billboard Hot 100, beginning it’s chart run at number 6 and eventually reaching the top. It was the Beatles final single before McCartney announced his departure from the band. The song, “Let It Be” was recorded on Apple records.
