Let It Be

First of all, can I just say what goofballs the beatles look like right now in their scruffy hippie stage. Paul McCartney's beard is HEFTY and everyone has such a mop-top it is ridiculous.

Listening to this album makes me a little sad though, knowing it is the symbol of the end of an era.

Here are my favorite songs off of the album:

"Across the Universe"



This one is super acoustic/ slower, with hints of the sitar and other foreign sounding instruments. I also think the lyrics are dreamy, and they almost foreshaddow the oncoming break up:


Sounds of laughter, shades of life
Are ringing through my opened ears
Inciting and inviting me.
Limitless undying love, which
Shines around me like a million suns,
It calls me on and on across the universe

The lyrics insinuate a call to a new, better world and life. A calling for the
Beatles to drift toward their own destined paths. Life, man.

Of course, "Let it Be"


GET IT bearded Paul. Oh man, Paul is easily my favorite Beatle, I still have such a crush on him in his teen-heart throb days. Once again, this song is a bit somber/ nostalgic, and continues my sadness about their break up.

Finally, "Get Back"



This one features a kind of western sounding guitar, bringing back their sometimes country-sounding theme. There's also some funky keyboard in here I can dig.


In short, while I have much love for this album, it is not my favorite.
