From the Paper:

"The song I have chosen for analysis is "Let it be" by Beatles. The song being one of the greatest hits of all times is more deeper in meaning than many songs being churned out these days. It contains messages of universal appeal and the soothing guitar beats add to the peaceful impact of the powerful lyrics. It is an interesting fact that this song was created in a time when the country was in the tight grips of meaningless chaos. The song is from the 70s decade when the hippie culture had a strong impact on the youth and people were living in turmoil as old beliefs had suddenly been crushed by more powerful new values. During these days of inner conflict and confusion, Beatles chose to create a song, which would instill peace and tranquility in the lives of its listeners. In this song, the tone is very gentle and soothing absolutely in tune with the real purpose of the song. The best thing about this song along with the gentle tone of the singers is the mellowed beats of different instruments. The music doesn't interfere with the lyrics and is present only to support the gentle messages contained in the song. This is something, which makes it quite different from many other similar songs. The singers here appear to be more concerned about appropriate delivery of the message and thus concentrate more on lyrics than on their music-making skills."
