Let It Be

Along with "Imagine"penned by John Lennon a year after they disbanded, "Let It Be" is probably one of the most beautiful songs of hope ever written by Paul McCartney with the Beatles. Upon its release in 1970 (and still to this day), many people saw biblical references while it was mostly a spiritual message inviting you to dig into your heart to find strength, wisdom and light. According to McCartney, the song would have been inspired by a dream he had of his mother Mary McCartney, (Mother Mary) who died of cancer when he was fourteen. She came to him in the midst of all the tensions preluding the split and would have told him not to worry and let go of things.

That this track came to me right when we're heading to troubled times is no coincidence at all. These lyrics are exactly the words of wisdom we need to hear while the vibration of the planet has reached such a high level those who aren't aligned with it are losing control, getting overwhelmed by their dark shadow with a risk of dragging along the less grounded of us. So, indeed, as a good friend of mine (you know who you are) keeps saying, you have to let go of it all and do not respond in order not to fuel this madness with our energies. Remember that we need to vibrate on their frequency range for them to get a chance to affect us.

When I find myself in times of trouble,
Mother Mary comes to me,
Speaking words of wisdom,
Let it be.

And in my hour of darkness,
She is standing right in front of me,
Speaking words of wisdom,
Let it be.

Let it be... let it be... let it be... let it be...
Whisper words of wisdom,
Let it be.

And when the broken-hearted people
Living in the world agree,
There will be an answer,
Let it be.

For though they may be parted, there is
Still a chance that they will see,
There will be an answer,
Let it be.

Let it be... let it be... let it be... let it be...
Yeah, there will be an answer,
Let it be.

Let it be... let it be... let it be... let it be...
Whisper words of wisdom,
Let it be.

And when the night is cloudy,
There is still a light that shines on me,
Shine until tomorrow,
Let it be.

I wake up to the sound of music,
Mother Mary comes to me,
Speaking words of wisdom,
Let it be.

Let it be... let it be... let it be... let it be...
Yeah, there will be an answer,
Let it be.

Let it be... let it be... let it be... let it be...
Whisper words of wisdom,
Let it be.
