Sec. 8 Dylan Petry mid term post 1 Beatles and philosophy

When the Beatles reached their stardom in the sixties the U.S. government was in question of having traders in the white house and the world was in the Cold War. People needed something or someone to help them escape from reality. When the Beatles released "Please Please Me" album in 1963, the album clearly showed that people needed this. It was number one album in the U.K. For thirty weeks. To me the "Please Please Me" album was saying that we need to stick together so that as a world we could make each other prosper or end war. To fast forward a little bit to the "Let It Be" album. By this time the Beatles had become one of the best bands off all time. To me personally I think that this is the best album that the Beatles came up with. I feel like the song "Let it Be" explains so much on how everyone should just let things happen because their is most likely a reason for that happening. In the sone Paul McCartney says, "And in my hour of darkness she is standing right infront of me speaking words of wisdom, let it be, let it be." To me this is saying that even when life has you down, listen and love your faith and know that there is a purpose for everything. I can personally relate this to me. When my cousin died a few years ago, we were very close and when he died I listened to "Let it Be" and I knew that everything happens for a reason because it was like a year later that my cousin, who was big into drugs and doing stupid things, decided that he was going to. Join the marines and i think in June he leaving to go to basic.
