Shona McGarty - Let It Be (Official Video) ft. The Celebs

https://li.sten.to/LetItBe

Shona Mcgarty & The Celebs sing a heart warming rendition of the Beatles classic Let It Be. Let It Be is released December 3rd 2021 in support of MIND, the mental health charity.

Shona said ‘I wanted to be part of this recording to raise much needed funds for MIND. So many people have had to reach out for help because of the challenges that COVID-19 raised. Unfortunately, the NHS are overwhelmed and under resourced, when it comes to
mental health provision. MIND is a valuable source of help, but MIND need funds to be able to continue the wonderful work they do.’

Shona continued ‘It was an honour to be asked to sing such a beautiful song, “Let It Be” by legend Sir Paul McCartney, it was such a fun day, and meant a lot to me. It’s an honour to be part of something so important.’

Paul McCartney says about the song ‘I had the most comforting dream, my mother appeared and she said to me very gently, very reassuringly: “Let it be.” It was lovely. I woke up with a great feeling. It was really like she had visited me at this very difficult point in my life and gave me this message: Be gentle, don’t fight things, just try and go with the flow and it will all work out.’

‘For me Christmas is a time where the most beautiful thing is to think about those who are suffering, those who have sacrificed and those who may not have what they need. That’s why taking part on this incredible single was so close to my heart’ said super model
Eunice Olumide MBE
.
The Chase’s Anne Hegerty added ‘I had a great time singing on this. It’s such a classic song and such a very worthy cause, and it’s always brilliant working with Jack and Grahame. Shona does a wonderful job
with the lead vocal!’

Lyrics

Verse 1

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

Chorus

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Verse 2

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

Chorus

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
There will be an answer, let it be

Middle 8

Chorus

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
There will be an answer, let it be

Verse 3

And when the night is cloudy there is still a light that shines on me
Shine 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

Chorus

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
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
There will be an answer, let it be
