The Light Shined On, Yet Dim the Night

When they first played 'Let It Be'
  I heard whispered words of wisdom
An answer came from Paul McCartney
  Puro alto, sprouting wings of ecstasy

The light shined on, yet dim the night
  Mother Mary came not in daylight
Quenched the notes from John's guitar
  Let It Be... finale ~ mystery memoir

Vijay Pandit Date: 11/25/2021 5:05:00 AM A heartfelt salute--you must be a true fan. Some songs, as memories, always stay with us. Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 11/25/2021 3:36:00 PM Interesting comment, Vijay. I actually was more of a folk-song kind of guy, but certain Beatles songs, such as 'Let it Be' and 'Eleanor Rigby' were moving, I thought. Thank you for support and encouragement. Musical Magic, Gershon

Caren Krutsinger Date: 11/24/2021 10:16:00 PM A darling tribute to the Beatles Let it Be Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 11/25/2021 3:34:00 PM Thank you, Caren. What followed? -- The Stones and 'Let It Bleed?' Was it jealousy on their part? Was it crass commercialism? -- Probably a combination of both. Thanks, and Happy Thanksgiving! :) gw
