English Stripped Bare - B. Bearington & Naomi Culture Paul McCartney Learn Real English The Secret Story of 'Let It Be'
The Beatles Recording the ‘Let It Be’ Album at Twickenham Studios; January 1969 (Apple.com)

Why did Paul McCartney write let it be?

I had a dream. It was in the years when we were probably overdoing ‘everything;’ drinking, and getting… staying out too late and getting crazy.

So, I was a bit sort of exhausted and went to bed.

Anyway, I had a dream and my mother who died probably about ten years previously was in the dream.

She came to me in the dream.

It’s a magic moment because you’re actually there with your mother.

So she seemed to know that I was a bit stressed out and she said ‘don’t’ worry.

It’s… it’s gonna be fine. Just let it be.’

And I thought, wow and just felt really great that my mother had given me that advice and woke up and was just remembering the dream and I thought; what did she say?

She said ‘let it be.’ And so I thought that was a great idea for a song so I went to the piano and wrote it.
