My cover of Let It Be, with me accompanying myself on piano. It had been on my list for quite a while, but always had to make way for other projects. Richard’s choice this week on singeo was a great opportunity to finally record it. I’ve put the chords into iReal Pro as a guide for rhythm and playing – it’s a bit slower than the original.
Let it be is written by Paul McCartney in 1970. Inspired by a dream about his late mother, he turned her comforting words “let it be” into a message of hope and peace. It was the title track of the band’s final studio album, marking a bittersweet farewell to the most influential group in pop history.
