Paul wrote the song after he had a dream about his mother during the tense period surrounding the White Album recording sessions. Paul said the song’s reference to “Mother Mary” was not a biblical reference. Paul said that his mother, who died of cancer when he was fourteen, said in the dream: “It will be all right, just let it be.”Here are photos from the “Let it Be” recording sessions on January 4, 1970. This was the last of three recording sessions for this song, with the first two on January 31 and April 30, 1969.
