以下影片為Paul McCartney主唱的“Let it Be”。
曲名意譯為“讓它去吧”。換言之，就是順其自然，隨它去吧…。
影片很寫實，主唱者有些憔悴。雖然，樂團四名成員仍然聚在一起，且外加小野洋子，但是，分手的陰影可能已經籠罩在他們心中，唱一曲“Let it Be”何嘗不是彼等心境的寫照。
原文歌詞如下：
Let it Be
Music & Lyrics: Paul McCartney
When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be. Let it be, let it be
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
And when the broken hearted people
Living in the world agree,
There will be an answer, let it be.
For though they may be parted
There is still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be.
Let it be, let it be. Let it be, let it be
There will be an answer, let it be.
*Let it be, let it be. Let it be, let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be*
And when the night is cloudy,
There is still a light that shines on me,
Shine on until tomorrow, let it be.
I wake up to the sound of music
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be. Let it be, let it be.
There will be an answer, let it be.
