Homily- "Let it Be"

Not Your Average Homilies from Deacon Joe Harrington

Homily: “Let It Be” Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time 7.01.18 The Collaborative Parishes of Resurrection and St. Paul Hingham, Massachusetts Deacon Joe Harrington Archdiocese of Boston Music: “Let It Be “ The Beatles Anthology 3 version. Recorded Jan 1969. It is a much simpler version, as McCartney had still not written the final verse yet ("And when the night is cloudy ... I wake up to the sound of music ."). Instead, the first verse is repeated. The song also features studio talk between Lennon and McCartney prior to another take: John: Are we supposed to giggle [or perhaps 'get (a) little'] in the solo? Paul: Yeah. John: OK. Paul: This'll – this is gonna knock you out, boy.Also, following the end of the recording, Lennon can be heard saying, "I think that was rather grand. I'd take one home with me. OK let's track it. (Gasps) You bounder, you cheat!" (This is a reference to the no-overdub policy that the Beatles had adopted for the Get Back project – "tracking" refers to double tracking the vocals on a recording.) Source: Wikipedia
