Paul's endless retakes of this song drove the band to distraction and caused a famous row with George which is captured in the Let It Be film when Paul instructs George on how to play the solo, the guitarist snaps, "OK, well, I don't mind.(It's been suggested that John insisted on placing the vulgar folk song "Maggie Mae" after it on the LP as a way to deflate its solemnity.) Lennon has also claimed that McCartney wanted to "wanted to write a 'Bridge Over Troubled Waters'," referring to the gospel-based Simon and Garfunkel smash, but that song was written and recorded well after work had begun on "Let It Be." John picked up on the similarities: during the sessions, he says ".and now we'd like to do 'Hark The Angels Come'," a joke which was appended to the version on the original LP. Paul has made it plain that the Mary in the song is his mother, but the song is gospel-oriented in nature, leading many to continue to associate it with the religion.
It's often believed that the song's churchy feel, along with the "Mother Mary" reference, makes "Let It Be" a song about Christianity (specifically, Catholicism).
