Let It Be

Capitol, under Universal. Trouble is admitted. The answer is a mother's sentence.

Apple and Capitol released it. Universal holds Capitol. Paul McCartney has said the Mary in it is his mother. The song still arrived in a world that heard a prayer, and the hearing was not a mistake. Someone is in the dark, and the counsel is not to thrash.

Keep it. Use it on the night the house wants a solution and only has a presence.

The eight

  1. Industry

    8/10

    A hymn written by people who were not writing hymns, and it holds.

  2. Household

    7/10

    Mother Mary. A home inside the falling-apart.

  3. Piety

    7/10

    Wisdom, asked for. Not a sneer at the asking.

  4. Courage

    6/10

    He looks at the broken hour and does not add panic.

  5. Republic

    5/10

    A private word a public could use.

  6. Temperance

    8/10

    There will be an answer. He does not force it this minute.

  7. Truth

    7/10

    The darkness is named. The comfort is not a denial.

  8. Stewardship

    9/10

    Still what a house sings when it does not know the fix yet.

Live historicallyWhen the argument has nowhere left to go, this, and then sleep. The answer is allowed to wait until morning.

Columbia · Sony Music Entertainment

All of Me

Columbia, under Sony. He is not renting the evening. He is giving the person.

Columbia released it, with GOOD Music. Sony owns Columbia. Weddings took it because the sentence is the right size: not a spark, a handing over. The risk is singing it once in a suit and never again in a kitchen.

If the house plays it, play it on an ordinary night, and ask whether the offer still stands.

The eight

  1. Industry

    7/10

    A piano and a vow, left mostly alone. That takes nerve.

  2. Household

    9/10

    A body, a mind, the cards. He is talking about a marriage.

  3. Piety

    6/10

    Love, said as if it were answerable to something.

  4. Courage

    7/10

    He bets the whole hand.

  5. Republic

    5/10

    Two people. The promise is still the kind a town can witness.

  6. Temperance

    7/10

    No extra. The feeling is large and it stays put.

  7. Truth

    8/10

    All of me is a dangerous sentence, and he says it anyway.

  8. Stewardship

    8/10

    A song a couple can mean, if they mean it on a Tuesday.

Live historicallyNot only at a wedding. Once this month, at the table, and then do one unglamorous thing the vow requires.
