The Laptop Sessions: “Let It Be” (A Beatles Acoustic Rock Cover Song)

On YouTube, there’s a video of a guy playing “Let It Be” by the Beatles on piano. He’s got like 12,000 views on it. It’s not bad, but it’s not even in the right key!

So, I posted a comment to that effect, and someone wrote back that I was being nitpicky (??) and that not many people can sing in the range of the original key.  Let me tell you- if you can’t sing it in the original key, you can’t sing the song at all and you shouldn’t be doing a cover of it.  How “high and mighty” of me.

So, I had to back up my statement with a video performance of me playing and singing the song in the original key. It’s on guitar because it was the most handy at the time. I hope you enjoy!

    This is in the same key as the original. That’s not very creative. :-)
