You never have to apologize for showing your emotional reaction to a song. That's why everyone watches these reaction videos in the first place! The song was written and sung by Paul McCartney. He's the one on the upper right with the full beard. He wrote it after he had a dream about his mother, Mary Patricia McCartney, who had died when he was 14. McCartney was dealing with a lot of tension within the Beatles and his mother came to him in the dream and told him to relax and "let it be."
His mother Mary used to tell Paul to "let it be" when he was having trouble, or would ask his mum what he should do about a situation...i heard Paul say that on a video
If this song doesnt make you emotional, then your hearts made of stone. Try "Imagine" by John Lennon, another Beatle. It was my senior year school song. More relevant today than when it came out. Actually anything done by the Beatles is pure gold. Influenced everyone that came after them.
This song was written more than 50 years ago, and it's based on a dream Paul had on his dead mother Mary basically giving him an advise to stay positive despite all the turbulences the members of the band were having at that time. These troubles eventually led the band to break up less than a year later. I wonder what Sir Paul feels about a song with such personal lyrics as this one making young people cry 50 years after he composed it.
Exactly! They were at the point of No Return they had been together overall since 1956, and went through various group changes. They released "Love Me Do" in 1962 hit the big time in 1964 and then by 1970 so much happened. They achieved so much but they were growing up and growing apart. They broke up in 1970 and reached a point that most of the time in the 1970's they didn't talk to each other. After John Lennon died, they reunited at Ringo Starr's Second Wedding and the Fellows worked with George Harrison "All Those Years Ago". If you can listen to The Temptations version.
@@laminage They actually hit the "big time" in 1962 in the UK. They didn't break America until 64 when they appeared on the Ed Sullivan show after having their first number one in the States. But there was already "Beatlemania" in Britain and Europe with a string of number ones under their belts. Contrary to popular American belief, America did NOT discover the Beatles. They are in fact British, just in case y'all think they are American.
@@jackdshellback3819 spot on mate I'm from Liverpool like the lads and New York try to claim John Lennon as there own when his Bones heart and soul were made in my city 🙏🙏❤️💙💙❤️
@@BueyBuey-rv8cx I know, I have noticed this a lot, Americans talking about The Beatles as if they are American or something. I was having an argument with a guy on RU-vid recently who was trying to say the American Capital albums were the original Beatle albums and even better than the British "versions" . In the end I had to post links to two articles on how The Beatles would get pissed off with the American Capital releases being a mishmash of tracks and even of poor quality, to finally shut him up. Because he just wouldn't believe me, and this wasn't some young dude, he proudly stated he had been following them since late 1963. I had to point out I had been following them since 1962. The fact that America was so jealous of the Beatles that they actually MANUFACTURED a group "The Monkees" as the American answer to The Beatles says a lot. Cheers mate.
They produced 13 albums in just 7 years and released hundreds of songs in that time before going on to have successful and happy solo careers and managing to somewhat reconcile their personal and creative differences through the 1970s.
@@jacobmassey3897 that's EXACTLY what I was gonna say...not only the quality, but quantity of quality in such a very short period of time. These days bands come n go in seven years. These legends left a treasure trove of songs for history to listen...FOREVER...in just SEVEN YEARS. They're the greatest band, hands down when it comes to quality of music in such a short time. I don't foresee anything CLOSE to them ever happening again...right place, right time, right musicians and producers with vision. 👍🏼 Excellent
Sis, I've heard this song hundreds of times and it still moves me to tears. No shame in crying! As a fellow human, I'm happy you found this song, because it may be one of the best things humans have made.
@@PemisCorner remember my wonderful new friend and pass it on to all of us I am Norwegian American and racism was created only by the media hey, which makes me want to cry oh, and I actually am going to Hey Jude
@@PemisCorner Paul McCartney is likely the most prolific songwriter in popular music history and surely one of its greatest melodists so there are a lot of great songs in his catalog... Let It Be is a cute song (Paul was always known for his charming personality and positiveness in his songwriting) but he has way better songs imo... I reccomend you to listen to songs like Penny Lane, Eleonor Rigby, Yesterdey (You probably heard that one) and many others... And that's only his songs with The Beatles (which are undoubtly his best stuff) but he has good songs in his solo career as well like Maybe Im Amazed and Band On The Run.
I’ve never bought a Beatles album in my life, but I truly consider them the most important rock n roll band ever. Their influence has reached so many and still resonates 60 years later.
@@waynethera2712Good stuff, but as a treat, have a listen to these 2023 remixes of the red and blue albums...They were released today ...they're on RU-vid ...
Great Music speaks to your soul. Being 60, and a Musician of 40-plus years myself I never get tired of seeing people fall in love with the Beatles it is some of the greatest music of all time. I've always said if you're not moved by great music you don't have a soul.
Ringo Starr's drumming and George Harrison's lead guitar really put a strong exclamation point with this song. The Beatles were just a wonderful band, and there was no one like them and nobody will ever be like them.
Welcome to The Beatles, they're one of the few performers that everybody from every Walk of Life has one song that they like. Not to many artist can claim that.
This was The Beatle's last number one song in 1970. Paul wrote this for his mother, who died when he was 14. He was going through a bad time. The group was breaking up and he was drinking too much and taking too many drugs. His mother came to him in a dream and told him everything was going to be all right and to just let it be. So, he wrote the song and it went to number one on the charts.
Don't apologise for being emotional, music can trigger strong reactions, that's one of the joys of musical experiences, especially when you try listening to unfamiliar artists for the first time. As a British person I've tended to take the Beatles for granted because they're so familiar, but seeing your reaction to this has renewed my appreciation of them, thanks!
Don't being ashamed of crying Pemi. I have been listening to The Beatles all my life. They will touch you, make you cry, make you laugh, dance, sing along, think deeply, They are an emotional experience. Welcome to their world. Enjoy!
I was 13 when this came out. I know how you feel. After taking years of classical piano, I asked my teacher to teach me this. She heard it and loved it. My parents grand piano never sounded better. I’ve played this song for years but miss that grand piano sound.
@@theresacarmen9847 record sales and the way they changed the world and that in only 7 years. So the numbers are not agreeing with you. Maybe for you the second best that's possible, but not in reality. Nobody will achieve what they did and again only in 7 years. The Beatles had 25 number one hits in this short time. In some charts they had the numbers one till 5. What artist archived the same?
It's okay. I've listened to the Beatles my entire life and I cry nearly every time I hear this one. I've seen Paul play stadiums with over 70,000 people and nearly every single one of them has the same reaction you do to this song, including me.
This is the magic of music! Every person who hears this song has an emotional reaction and each one is private. Any song that makes you FEEL something is a miracle. The Beatles spoke of love and tenderness. Brilliant!
@@PemisCorner I enjoyed each tear you shed because the song touched something indefinable in your soul. The Beatles are unique. Their music can provoke smiles, tears, laughter and wonder. No group will ever have that lasting impact on the world again.
No need for apology's. I think it's a beautiful reaction to a classic, epic beautiful song. Positive vibes! ❤ The power off music! Paul McCartney singing about his mother who passed away when he was 13. He had a dream where she came to him told him to "Let It Be" with the struggles that we're going on in his life at that time. Just beautiful!
Pemi you are beautiful inside & out , your precious & beautiful & honest & emotional reaction is what this song has done to Millions of people , the day it came out .❤️❤️🙏🙏😢
Don't apologize for crying. Music is the language of the world. Its colorless and is supposed to drive your emotions. Sometimes it brings a smile and sometimes it brings a tear. Just let it flow through you and enjoy those tears brought on by this song. You aren't the only one to to it. This song has brought tears to the eyes of more than one generation and there is a simple joy in knowing others feel the same.
@@PemisCorner your welcome. There's an old band called Wet Willie and they do a song called keep on smiling. Look it up for yourself. I think you'll enjoy it. You don't need to react to it. If you want to react to a song that brings joy to your heart I'll suggest Three Dog Nights Shambra-la. They rivaled the Beatles in popularity between 69 and 72. Take care now.
I lost my only sibling, my brother, last year, this song brings me some comfort but is bittersweet, we both loved the Beatles and we were kids when this came out in March of 1970. It went to number one. I will probably preplan have this played at my funeral when I go someday. And yes with all the total anti-human crap going on in the world you have a right to cry.
Something no one is mentioning is the fact that The Beatles actually made front page (at the top!!) headlining news around the world when they broke up. They were THAT important to everyone worldwide. Try naming another band making front page news just because they broke up. Watch the most incredible Beatles documentary called How The Beatles Changed The World. It shows how everything they did the world followed suit regarding music, lyrics, clothing, hair styles, how time spent in a recording studio could be completely different, etc. They were the first to prove that music could be art. The notion that an entire album should be recorded in just a few hours went out the window. They slowed down tapes therefore altering how it sounds. They inserted samples of things like birdcalls, etc. They had a short drum beat cycling over and over throughout an entire song. (Tomorrow Never Knows...from the Revolver album) They did things no one did until them. Geniuses!
Hey my dear girl that was a good reaction you know I grew up with that song I was in grade school when I heard this one that was like one of the last two albums of The Beatles it's not just a song that you really enjoy it's a part of your life it's a part of Who You Are it elicits so many emotions music this good makes you feel things you've never felt before all right dear check
I have a plaque hanging in my living room with a quote from St. Julian of Norwich which says 'All shall be well, all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.' I look at it every day to remind myself that as bad as things may seem, 'all shall be well' in the end. This song just puts that sentiment to music, I believe - letting go of fear and anxiety, and just 'let it be'. It's long been one of my favorites among the Beatles' catalogue. I'm so glad that you were deeply touched by this song. It is beautiful, both in melody and especially in meaning. :)
If anything I envy you that you get to hear this song for the very first time. My parents would play the beatles in the car when we would go on vacation in the 90's and man this song brings back so many wonderful memories of that time. And don't ever apologize feeling emotional over a song, in my opinion that's what music is supposed to do :) Edit: you are a stunning woman btw
My Mom lost her brother in an oil rig accident when she was in her teens. She said she just listened to this song over and over for weeks. It was one of the reasons she got through and awful time. FYI Paul is singing about his mother, who died when he was quite young.
Please never apologize for tears. Some of us were trained not to cry...ever. I wish I could cry and I'm glad you can. This song was stunning when I first heard it way back then (1968?). I've watched several reactions to this song; imagine maintaining such wonderful emotions after all this years.
The Beatles are the greatest. So much diversity in their music. From rock n roll to folk, from psychedelic to jazz, from anthems to ballads, and everything in between.
I lived in St Lucia when I turned 20...a lot of my free time was entertaining children...I sang Beatle songs and they balled their eyes out. They had never heard anything like it before. It was awesome.
Pemi, you've joined the ranks of us who at one time or another felt the healing power of music. It is miraculous. This is a fantastic video young lady. Thank you for sharing it with us, RNB
That last note had to be a high C, and without straining or screaming, and with incredible breath control throughout ! Fabulous voice, and a great looking guy as well.
@@PemisCorner I highly agree as "Bridge Over Troubled Water" is in my opinion the greatest song of my generation, but one of the greatest songs all-time. Art Garfunkel's voice is amazing. Paul Simon wrote this masterpiece. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4G-YQA_bsOU.html
When I first heard this on the radio as a child, it felt like i was listening to a hymn. Even though I was a young boy at the time, it was a spiritual experience for me. Even to this day, I get the same feeling. It seems to reach into my very soul.
George's simple guitar solo is sublime and transcendent. It makes all the shredders sound like they're trying to find the right notes before the singer gets back from his break.
I cry when I listen to it, too. There are 2 versions . This is the best , the one with the guitar. I cry because the guitar is so beautiful & thrilling to me! Seriously...
Other Beatle "tear-jerker" songs are "For No One", "Yes It Is", She's Leaving Home", "Across the Universe", "Long & Winding Road", "In My Life", "Because", "Julia", "All Things Must Pass"
"Julia" is John Lennon's song about his mother Julia (who died when he was about 15) and his new wife Yoko and the emotional connection he felt to both of them. It's lovely.
Pemi you are a true soul sister, I love your reaction and have to say it rips my heart out also... without notice tears are rolling down my cheeks listening to this song.
Its one of those songs that can really get you emotional if your at a place in life where your going through some sort of stuggle- cause its such simple and true advise. An almost spiritual experience, like a hand on your shoulder.
Pemi - thanks for responding to this beautiful song - I can see that it was moving to you, too! Music brings us all together!! Wishing you and your family and friends health and happiness!
You my friend crying shows that you have a great heart and a Heavenly soul. The story of how the song came about was divine intervention. And I'm a True Believer that the Beatles came together through divine intervention. Not many people know this but when they were on The Ed Sullivan Show for the first time there was not one report of crime in any of the major cities in America. To this day no band can claim that title.
Don’t apologise for crying!! It’s so beautiful that you found something that touched you so! My parents both were Beatles fans, so I heard it in my teenage years and it is truly amazing! If you haven’t heard Yesterday yet, I warmly recommend it! Take care!
If you're just discovering The Beatles, it's like opening presents under the Christmas tree. If you think this is good, boy are you in for a great ride. Their catalogue of masterpiece songs is staggering.
I loved many bands before them and after I heard them. They are, for mr, the greatest Rock band all-time. No song sounds like any other in the repetoir.
God Bless 🙏 You and your family. I'm so grateful for your honesty and humility for being your self and showing your true feelings . I remember when this song came out my sister was a big Beatle fan and this song was right on time then and it continues to be right on time now
hi, nice for me to find your channel and see this reaction I am 63 years old and BEATLES has been the band that accompanied my youth, along with the former BEATLE in their solo careers "Let it be" is his latest single released, it's a song that touches the emotions, a deep lyrics and nostalgia but with hope, a beautiful melody on the piano and an extraordinary interpretation of Paul McCartney for me it's like a hymn, one of his five best songs And 50 years later McCartney plays it on his tours in one of his most emotional moments I was excited when I saw him at the stadium two years ago on his last visit to my country Argentina Besides BEATLES in the 60s, my other favorite band is ABBA, the Swedish pop group in the 70s and I would like to suggest that you listen to them for your reactions They were two couples who were very versatile in musical genres they rose to world fame with their triumph at the Eurovision Song Contest in 1974 with their song "Waterloo" and had more than 20 worldwide hits such as: S.O.S. Mamma Mía Fernando Dancing Queen Take a chance on me Chiquitita The winner takes it all And even after being separated for almost 40 years, their music is kept alive thanks to theatrical shows and two musical movies: Mamma Mía 1 & 2, with great actors like Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnam. Hope to see you soon in another BEATLES or ABBA video Kind regards from Buenos Aires, Argentina
