People now don't believe you when you say The Beatles changed the world but........ they did.... SEISMICALLY. Compare their early music to their later material. They are the greatest musical group.....ever. Let it be........
@@rp7326 They some how designed it wrong then if 2024 has got anything to do with them.The truth is they were in it for a Larf and did they enjoy themselves.
Off the top of my head, other songs with emotional depth would be, "Everybody Hurts" by R.E.M. "Rejoice in the Sun" by Joan Baez. "Love Hurts" by Nazareth. "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" by Aerosmith. "Unchained Melody" by The Righteous Brothers. (though I prefer the cover by LeAnn Rimes) "If I Didn't Have You" by Amanda Marshall. "Long, Long Time" by Linda Ronstadt. (this last one is especially deep after watching the 3rd episode of The Last of Us tv series. "The Great Gig in the Sky" by Pink Floyd. This song takes you through the seven stages of grief after losing a loved one. "Comfortably Numb" by Pink Floyd (live Pulse concert version). "On My Own" by Lea Salonga (Les Miserables 10th Anniversary concert)

Paul wrote this song in the aftermath of his mother’s death. He said , he was having a nightmare and in the middle of it, a vision of his mother (whose name was Mary) came to him and said…. Let it Be. He said he instantly felt a calm come over him and it served as the inspiration for this song.
I have always felt that it was not a coincidence that he calls his mom, Mother Mary, and the wave of peace he felt, and her wisdom, and her message that is so essentially spiritual (Let It Be). The Divine Mother comes to us as our own mother, and lives in her, to teach us love. Things equal to the same thing are equal to themselves. She has no religion, but is known in the West as Mother Mary, Mediatrix of Mercy.
Paul's mother died of cancer when he was a teenager. More than ten years later when the Beatles were in turmoil and Paul felt stressed, his life spinning out of control, he had a dream where his mother appeared to him and told him "let it be."

I'll be 73 yrs old in February and have loved these 4 awesome, brilliant musicians since I was 12 yrs old. You absolutely need to react to " The long and winding road" . I still get emotional no matter how many times I hear it. Rubber Soul and Abby Road are my two favourite Beatle albums . 👍👏👏❤❤

One of the amazing things about The Beatles was their musical transformation from a teen girl pleasing boy band singing "I Want to Hold Your Hand", to a fully mature Rock group singing classics like Let It Be and Hey Jude. There's been no band in history that's been as evolutionary and as innovative as The Beatles.
Even the early Beatles' represented a huge change in music. It's not evident to you, because you do not realize that they were the foundation of what you now take for granted.
They could shape a song like no one else....with every emotion , every word vocalised with feeling and pure spirit,...more pure magic created by the legendary beatles 🎶 🎵
I'm 63 years old and the music of the Beatles is part of the soundtrack of my life, especially in my younger years. The Beatles changed everything and showed the world the true power of music.
Youre crying because it sounds like church music with pure intent of letting love be the answer. Paul's mother, Mary,, who he lost as a young boy, came to him in a dream, and that's the inspiration for this song.
Paul wrote this song about his mother Mary who passed away. He said he had a dream about her not long after she passed and his mother said "let it be" in the dream. Amazing song and story. I just lost my dad and this song makes me think he wants me to get on with my life even if I miss him everyday.
I’m 73 and a big Beatles fan. I got to see the Beatles at the Hollywood Bowl with my best friend. I too cry at let It Be. I took my granddaughter to her first concert it was Paul McCartney. On my left shoulder I have a tattoo that says Whisper Words Of Wisdom and on her right shoulder it says Let It Be. We stand together it says WHISPER WORDS OF WISDOM LET IT BE. I am so happy you love that song and feel emotional when you hear it 🥰
This song takes me back to a time as kid in a third world country who only ate one meal a day so skinny and under naurished. Still I appreciated music and The Beatles was the thing then. They were so famous that even every poor little could hear their music which brought hope in their eyes
We cry because they put their heart and soul into their music. "Songs that make you feel". It is a rare treat to find a reaction host who does not pause and interrupt the songs just to yap about something. Doing that kills the mood. Kudos and thank you for doing it right. Thumbs up.
When John was a teenager he was watching an Elvis movie and said "why couldn't God make me Elvis" and his girlfriend said "because he was waiting for you so he could make John Lennon".
One of my earliest musical memories is hearing "Let it Be" playing over the radio in the Dairy Queen my parents took us to for ice cream after church one Sunday morning circa 1970. The Beatles broke up that year and dropped a bunch of solo albums that were all hits too. Their impact has been and still is, immense.
McCartney admits he was inspired to write Let It Be by the death of his mother, who died of cancer in 1956, when Paul was just 14 yrs old. Paul's mother was named Mary. McCartney said his mom appeared to him in his dreams in the 60s. In Paul's dream, his mom said to him, "It's gonna be ok. Just let it be...." Paul never shared this story early on, so eventually fans & the world immediately interpreted it as a spiritual, religious song. I told MY OWN MOM, Paul's actual meaning for writing Let It Be. Being a VERY religious woman, my mom STILL PREFERRED to consider Let It Be a song about The Virgin Mary and spirituality, like the many millions of other people/fans. Regardless of how others perceive it, it's STILL a classic, timeless, & meaningful song. Thank you for such a very emotional reaction!
Wow… this is such a beautiful and emotional song, I guess everyone listens and interprets music however it suits them, I feel the message in the music has affected people in different ways, in general I love the positive message it carries. Thanks for watching and sharing this with us. 🙏😊
The saddest part of watching this is knowing that this was The End - the last few studio sessions of the greatest band, in the greatest studio set up, with the greatest technicians, engineers... Never to be repeated
Never ever apologize for being emotionally moved by a powerful song that touches your soul! Many many many people over the decades have gotten through hard times with help from Beatles music. The energy is real, embrace it! 🎶🎸💕
Beautiful song, one of the best out of many great songs by The Beatles. That was Paul McCartney on the lead vocals. The Japanese women was John Lennon's wife, and the woman taking pictures was Paul's wife. Not that you don't already know, but there are many great Beatles songs out there. Hope to hear some more of them on your channel. I would recommend "She's Leaving Home" another Beatles song with sad, emotional lyrics and fabulous vocals. Great reaction, and I think you made a great choice of Beatles song.
Thank you so much, I love listening to them and knowing more about them. I have actually recorded “She’s leaving home” once it’s edited I’ll post it. Thank you again 🙏☺️
For many of us, the Beatles were our prophets their albums were their testimony their gospels. I’m not exaggerating. I was a kid and these songs, and these albums were central to my family‘s existence. When they broke up, it was devastating. The songs seemed to teach us spiritual things, that nothing else could some other songs also did it but nobody did it better than the Beatles
It makes me think of John so much. Actually all their songs make me think of John. I remember exactly where I was when John was shot. I don’t understand why anyone would want to take a life. I still miss him ❤❤❤
My dear lady, you had tears because you’re a sensitive person, and you were listening to a very meaningful and wonderful song. Thank you for sharing your experience with us and, speaking for myself, sharing tears with you. Again, thank you!
I am 63 years “young”, my BFF went to a grammar school called St. Mary’s and the 8th grade graduates sang “Let It Be” at their ceremony. I have been a Beatles fan since I was a child.
Part of the Beatles genius is how very simple their melodies can be, yet so astoundingly beautiful they move us. Around this time a movie Let It Be was released in theaters. A friend and I went to see it, it’s great if you’re a fan; we were 16. About halfway through she said “My god -they’re old men!” -The oldest Beatle at that time was … 29 🤣
During some tough times with business and interpersonal strife, Paul dreamed about his mother, Mary McCartney, who died when he was a teenager. She told him to not worry, and to just let it be. He woke up and started working on this masterpiece. Similarly, years earlier, he woke up one morning with the melody to "Yesterday" in his head, fully formed.
The dichotomy shown in Across the Universe with this song was extremely powerful. I grew up in Detroit and heard many stories about the ‘67 riots. This beautifully illustrated the repercussions of the draft and the riots.
A lot of Christian’s thought he was talking about the biblical Mary. Paul responded by saying it was about his own mother, named Mary, but he thinks that interpretation is beautiful. The gentle mother Mary who tells us “it’s going to be ok” is for everyone.
I think your emotional reaction is a completely appropriate response to this song. 'Let it Be' is so beautiful and powerful. Thank you for sharing with us.
I am 67 years old and have been a Beatle fan my entire life. I have heard this son hundred’s of times. It wasn’t until a few years ago when I was going to have surgery and this song came on the radio and it hit me hard. It was like I was hearing it for the first time. And my mother’s name is Mary.
Sweetie..i cry all the time to the beatles. My dad has just passed and this was his group. Thats when i started to pay attention to them and the dad/beatles connection made sense..hence the tears. Carry on and rule..:)
The Beatles to infinity. La mejor banda de música popular de todos los tiempos. John Lennon, Ringo Starr, George Harrison, Paul McCartney y Billy Preston. Saludos cordiales desde Cúcuta en la frontera colombo venezolana 🇨🇴🇻🇪 Sur América
L9ve your reaction and your crying indeed because youre lustening to the Beatles ! Onky once 8n a lifetime we are blessed to have their music still with us
Paul often had songs come to him in his sleep, and he often dreamt of lost love one. He talks about several times having conversations with John (since he died) in his dreams.
I played this song 6 times in a row in the car the last time I saw my mother alive 14 years ago a few days after going into an old folks home. It really helped me before and after. Then at my brother's church funeral 4 years ago I was responsible for choosing the music. I had many choices, however I started it with Let It Be - For me it said everything and felt right. I grew up on the Beatles. Saw them live on Ed Sullivan in 1964 on TV. I played all their music 45's, Lp's and cassettes. They ruled the 1960's. Let it Be is an incredible emotional song. It fills my thoughts with Mother Mary being the mother of Christ and also The Holy Spirit. No need to say, "Sorry I cried." Because this is an incredibly emotional song due to it's lyrics and sounds. It a supernatural song of love filled emotions filling the heart.
It's always hard to pick a top Beatles song, but this one is a contender for sure. For me, this is like "Bridge Over Troubled Water" ... basically gospel.
Paul McCartney once said, "That's the power of music, it is eternal." I'm 56 years old, and I still cry whenever I hear: "Let It Be." Ty, Sir McCartney ❤ 🤘
Thank you Shockwave for sharing this song with us. When I was a young girl back in the 1960's my mom heard this song, and she asked me to remember it and to have it played someday when she was old, and it was her turn to go on to heaven. It seemed like quite a strange request at that time. But she seemed sincere, so I always remembered what she had said. When she passed in 2007 I made sure that the funeral director had this song played. I will never regret having done that. It was the last thing that I could have done for her, and I'm so glad that I did. The beauty of this song is worthy to be played anywhere. 😭
The Beatles not only shaped the future of music, they changed the world.

Absolutely beautiful song. It has also become my favourite from the Beatles too
iconic song
I remember buying this as a single when it was released. Still listening after 50 years plus. And people will be listening 50 years from now
This is an absolute classic song, ever green
You are getting emotional because this is possibly the most achingly beautiful song ever made,and your soul is in harmony with that
I agree, it is such a beautiful piece
Your emotions are a testament that you’ve opened your soul to music. It’s a really beautiful feeling 🥰
Wow, thank you, I love good music, and this is definitely a great one
They have the same effect on me too. Their music has touched my soul.
Just wow… still feel same way each time I listen to the song
The song is about Paul's dead mother (Mary) coming to him in a dream to comfort him. Thats why you are crying'

I grew up on the Beatles. Saw them live on Ed Sullivan in 1964 on TV. I played all their music 45's, Lp's and cassettes. They ruled the 1960's. Let it Be is an incredible emotional song. It fills my thoughts with Mother Mary being the mother of Christ and also The Holy Spirit. No need to say, "Sorry I cried." Because this is an incredibly emotional song due to it's lyrics and sounds. It a supernatural song of love filled emotions filling the heart.
Mother Mary is actually Paul's mother.
@@michaelpatnaude You are correct. I remember Paul saying that in a video.
It's always hard to pick a top Beatles song, but this one is a contender for sure. For me, this is like "Bridge Over Troubled Water" ... basically gospel.
Paul McCartney once said, "That's the power of music,
it is eternal."
I'm 56 years old, and I still cry whenever I hear:
"Let It Be."
Ty, Sir McCartney ❤
🤘
He is so right, the song still makes me whenever I hear it
Tearing up along with you. Haven't heard this for years, forgot how powerful it is. Thanks!
Truly words of wisdom.
Absolutely 💯
Don`t ever be sorry for crying,it shows you are a good human.
Thank you so much 🙏
Thank you Shockwave for sharing this song with us. When I was a young girl back in the 1960's my mom heard this song, and she asked me to remember it and to have it played someday when she was old, and it was her turn to go on to heaven. It seemed like quite a strange request at that time. But she seemed sincere, so I always remembered what she had said. When she passed in 2007 I made sure that the funeral director had this song played. I will never regret having done that. It was the last thing that I could have done for her, and I'm so glad that I did. The beauty of this song is worthy to be played anywhere. 😭
