The Beatles album 'Let It Be' turns 50
It has been 50 years since The Beatles first released their "Let It Be" album.
It was the band's final studio album released in 1970. However, it was recorded before the release of 1969's "Abbey Road". The recordings were done first at Twickenham Film Studios and then later on both the rooftop and basement of the band's headquarters in London.
In the last 'oficial' album of the most famous band in the world, you can find songs such as "Let it Be", "The Long and Winding Road", "Get Back", "Across the Universe" and "I've got a feeling", among others.

Can you understand it?
LET IT BE (Paul McCartney, 1970)
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
Whisper words of wisdom
Let it be
And when all 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
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom
Let it be

Complete interview with Paul McCartney
IMPORTANTE:
Esta entrevista não vem com LEGENDAS.
Ela é um DESAFIO para seu inglês.

NÃO SE PREOCUPE EM ENTENDER CADA PALAVRA.
ESTE NÃO É O OBJETIVO.
O IMPORTANTE, AQUI, É FAZER UM ESFORÇO PARA ENTENDER O MÁXIMO QUE VOCÊ CONSEGUIR.
E SE DIVERTIR COM A ALEGRIA DE PAUL E DO APRESENTADOR JAMES CORDEN.
