The song was meant as a double meaning. It is inspire by his mother, but also about Mother Mary. If it were just about his mother, he would have just said "My mother" or something similar. Paul is Christian. The song is NOT about drugs at all.
the Virgin Mary's response to the angel Gabriel upon hearing that she would give birth to a son was Let it Be. It's in the Bible. He was Catholic and he somehow stumbled upon things like this and like using the name Jude. It's really very interesting and we are very lucky to have this guy.
This is not really a secular song - it's too beautiful for that. I am Brit Protestant, when this is played we all sing it. Some things go beyond the religous and into the soul. This song is a prime example of this.
regardless of what his intentions of the song was, it could be for anyone named mary and since most Catholics can relate to this as the Blessed Mother I think its perfectly ok. It does in a sense make some refrences to her "speaking words of wisdom" and agian here "and in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me" you do have to admitt that it does sound like The Blessed Mother Mary, she is wise and a light in the dark world, after all she is the Mother of God!
I know he meant it to be about his mother, but the choice of words was deliberate, he wanted the religious image (or spiritual, if that's how he saw it). It has a meaning for Paul that's deeply significant for him personally; for me it's about releasing your troubles and it's a religious song. No conflict there.
@shark96z FYI I heard Paul McCartney in an interview and he said that during some personal turmoil in his life with the Beatles and John he was playing on the piano and was praying. "Then Mother MAry came to me and said ,"Let it be"...And yes it is a great song, now you know with great purpose. It comforts me it times of turmoil. Have a great day. Charley
Our Blessed Mother is the bridge from earth to Heaven. Consistent with the Gospel. The son will not deny his mother and she will not deny her children's pleas.
If she had more kids or not, this is a mistery, that will be revealed in heavens only(if I'm allowed there), if I get there and I learned that she had other kids, my love and honor for her won't change a thing . She said yes Let it be done and the word became flesh..
Where you read in the bible Jesus brothers and sisters, it is well know by the doctors in Hebrew, that 2000 years ago there was no word for cousin, and to refer to the sun or daughter of your fathers or mothers' brothers and sisters, you would just call them brothers or sisters also. So it's acceptable that Jesus had cousins and they would be mentioned as brothers or sisters.
Mary was a prize possession of Our God, her mission on this earth was to serve the Lord, bringing him as a baby. She raised him, told him the wonders of our creator, showed him love, she was not here to bear more child. It is understood that Joseph was a very faithful man who loved God above all things, I don't believe he ever touched Mary in any other way then, respect and protection, for She is Our Queen..
@AmvC Listen up true Christains! I say we follow the gosples! I say we follow Jesus not any man, not any pope or king of this world, lets follow the king of Heaven!
there's gonna be a problem with that, which is that ... 80% of the world wouldn't subscribe "iesus is the king of heaven" ... and what exactly would jesus think of you leaving out so many of his and our brothers?
Paul admitted that in and interview, is a tribute to his mother , and the mother of Christianity for many, Catholics or Episcopals the faith in which Paul was raised.
@Jorari1 just an addition to that: it's not just a mother for Christianity, that's the great thing about Mary. She is a part of all the three Abraham-related religions and all its sects - be it the catholism/evangelic sects, the judaisms or the islamic sects. They're all the same ...
Ok, but I think that it was written like that to have that double meaning - talking about HIS mother Mary, and the universal concept of mother, which is usually represented by Mary, mother of Jesus... anyway, I don't think this should matter.
And the woman (Vatican) was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations (pedophilia,false doctrines, lies,etc) and filthiness of her fornication:
Trust me... it's not unheard of, for Christians to sing secular songs, and it's not unheard of, for religious songs to be sung in the secular world, so long as they are in good taste... ... ... it is not a problem... ... ... or is it?
He may deny it, but I am sure our blessed mother devinely inspired thes words and music, which by the way is the best song they ever did together or apart. I wake up and go to bed naming her. Amen.
Mary is my advocate, my mother(second), my destiny. Her immaculate heart is my refuge. This song rocks and fits Mary's attitude to us.I <3<3<3 Mary 4ever!
Paul, you are not only the one of the World famous Beatles, but also one of Mom's most beloved kids. I really appreciate your efforts to give the whole World your best talent, so that everyone can enjoy it. You lead us to praise Mom in a so marvelous way glorifying Her as the universal Mom of Mankind. You lead us to Glory. It is worthy to do so, because Mankind needs Mom. No One is equal to or better than Her: Dad created Her like no one else. You really add Immortality to yourself. Thanks Paul.
Actually the bible says that NO man comes to the father but through Jesus ,we have direct free flowing relationship with Jesus thanks to the cross not Mary.
Christ chose to come into this world through Mary, because of 'yes' to God. He loves His Mother . . so talk to Him about it and then try to listen. She courageously stood at the foot of the Cross with John and the other Maries, while His other friends abandoned Him and one betrayed Him.
You just keep poring over your document like one of the pharisees of old trying to catch people out lol...I think if Jesus had to choose between a DIY philospher,self appointed and arrogant chancer who seems to be so humble that only he knows the true teachings of God like yourself,and a person who honours Mary,i know who he'd choose every time.. Dont you?
2. This is a good song apparently, but take a look at "Lady Madonna" lyrics and at THE WHOLE HISTORY OF BEATLES: paulmccartney IS A SORT OF servant satan DEMON. After that... himself said (OF COURSE!) that wasn't the Holy Virgin the whoman about in the song...
1. Hi everybody. I'm italian, I'm Catholic, I prey and love and respect Virgin Mary. I love rockmusic too and I used to love too much AND FOLLOW this music since bad things happened in my life and SINCE I DISCOVERED SOME THINGS MAYBE NO EVERYONE KNOWS. I still love rockmusic but I've learned to be aware about some things (TODAY CONCERNED THE RAP AND OTHER TYPE OF MUSIC, because it's a spiritual affair and it doesn't depend about a kind of music or another...).
