Yes, well said. It has a quality of timelessness that keeps the song fresh. Perhaps that's the (somewhat) religious aspect? The realization that others have been down this path and might know something helpful? Regardless, it's good kind-hearted advice.
This will come across as jaded. When I hear that song I slip quickly into calmness and then sadness to the point of tears. The comfort of Paul's words and voice, then that clean, innocent guitar solo have me longing for better days days when we were allowed to like ourselves and be decent people. Unfortunately as I felt the song this time and whenever I listen to the Beatles I get angry. This is the jaded part. I perceive a group of envious woke totalitarians and their useful idiots trying to cancel the bio-spirit of the Beatles. They have no right to do that. I'll be damned if I will let them remove their spirit from our consciousness.
Yeah I guess. A couple of years ago every Friday night my wife and I would drink a lot of beer and sing Karaoke in our living room to great songs like Let it Be and some later 70's stuff from Bread, America, and wholesome bands like that. It was a beautiful escape from America, 2020.
I never knew the story behind it. My guess was the lyrics described a religious experience. I can recall being envious... Great post. Thanks!
Thanks, James! I appreciate how Paul's mother was in sync with the Stoics.

I concur, James, and I also concur with Paul when he called "Let it Be" a hymn.

Don't get me started about 1968.....
You sound more passionate than jaded to me.

Good time to recall some pleasant history. Thanks
