| Get Back Album: Let It Be, 1970 Lead Vocalist: Paul Lyrics ▼ I adore this song! It is so catchy, with the most fantastic guitar riff from John. It’s a song that, for me, has it all. And I love this video, filmed during The Beatles’ final ever live performance, on the top of the Apple Studios in London on 30th January, 1969. I love the little looks between John and Paul and the genuine smiles and enjoyment between them. It’s hard to believe that just a year later their relationship would be in ruins, with the group having disbanded forever. I’ve read a few interviews where Paul says he wrote this song as a satirical look at the mounting tension in the UK over immigration. The ‘get back’ referred to the view of politicians who didn’t care to help immigrants who needed our help. I think it’s pretty relevant still today. Interestingly, when John was in his 'getting back at Paul' phase, he said that Paul wrote the song about Yoko because he wanted her to get back. He even said that when Paul sang the song in the ‘Get Back’ sessions, he would stare at Yoko as he sang the words. But I’ve watched that footage many times, and it seems to me John was pretty paranoid. I see no hint of Paul staring at Yoko. ‘Let It Be’ was the last album the group released. They released it in May 1970, a month after their breakup. The majority of the album was recorded in 1969, and ‘Abbey Road’ was actually the last album they recorded together. But this is their official last studio album. And it’s a corker! |
