I do think this is the most beautiful version of this song. Nick Cave can deliver emotion on a level not many others can. No show, no unnecessary vocal hooks. Just Cave's imperfect, emotional singing. 5/5
in this year 2017, when you see someone you love losing themselves, god, just glad to be alive, a song like this just helps, just helps. Mr. Cave personalized a song that was meant to be universal. thank you, god bless y'all!
Just... great. Un-adorned arrangement and styling that lets the song(writing) shine through. I think that has always been a noble strength of the Brave and Good Knight Nick Cave. It's not his excesses, which are well known; but rather the restraint he applies, at just the right times in his musical performances. That's what makes him so good at what he does. Much respect.
FYI Paul McCartney wrote this song in regards to the passing of his mother. He grieved for months after she passed. She appeared in one of his dreams and he stated the she had said ……. Everything is going to be ok, just let it be...…………….
Good cover of a great song that reminds me of the greatness of the original. Cave does a more original version of Pulp's Disco 2000. Totally makes it his own song.
Anyway that's the reason why I started listening to the Beatles. Before Nick they were for me a kind of old folk stuff nobody is listening to. Stupid me!
I'd like to point out that The Beatles' released version was essentially castrated by Phil Spector. Check out the Naked version for a better idea of what it should've been. Even still, Cave's cover was worthwhile, as someone said. Vastly different styles at work, and to deny the genius of either is to be close-minded or hard-at-hearing (and the latter is being polite, blaming the problem on some physical issue rather than on what almost surely would be a core character flaw!
With the exception of Cohen's 'Suzanne', Cave, like Nina Simone and Johnny Cash sings other peoples songs far better than the original performer. He should do Achey Breaky Heart I reckon.
Bit heavy on the backup vocals. But, all in all I agree. He has an artists' feel. (Does that make sense at all?) of course, this song would not exist at all without the original authors.
Sin duda en gustos se rompen géneros, mi mayor respeto a todos aquellos a quienes les ha gustado esta versión. Para mí, no obstante, acribillo la magnífica Let it be, convirtiéndola en algo insípido e insufrible.
@karenchristine9 Hate them? Wow! They must have done something pretty bad to you! I take it you don't like their music either, right? Anyway I'm curious what causes you to actually hate them.
@karenchristine9 Well, congratulations. You have got your bit of fame by writing this "masterpiece" .You should be proud. Or not... Sure you must be a sad person. Let it be...
Far better than the original, I also thought the Joan Baez version was better, cause the even though The Beatles wrote some really great songs the are still over-rated and kinda boring
eww. i totally think that the one on across the universe is a lot better. i think it is sung with more heart. more emotion. and more thought. i love when the black lady like yells it " let it be yeah yeah"
This is insane. A cover which does the song justice. THIS song. Nick Cave nails it.
Beautiful voice.Such a wonderful rendition.

Heard this version just for the first time. Awesome, oustanding, great! As much as his version of "Helpless".
I'm impressed I've never heard of this cover version before., the religious imagery in the lyrics suits Cave very well! Thank you for posting it
I do not wish to cry. Even so, i must cry....
Nick Cave is wonderful

Two loves of my life combined
Brilliant voice and he sings it meaningful
Shit ya kate
I can honestly say that Nick's version, to me, is delivered with more sincerity, intimacy and weight than the Beatles version.
Nick cave one of the most underrated artists of all time
Finally I can enjoy a Beatles' song!!! How good is Nick Cave that he makes this things sound awesome and serious!!!
Beatles, love or hate, are the greatest bit of musical innovation for the last 68 years
So fuck you and I know this is Lennon solo he counts
@@robpaul5047 Yes. It's a great song. Great voice, Nick!
i love it better than the original, omg! didn't think this possible
i love the jazzy drum sound of this version!
absolutely beautiful!
FYI Paul McCartney wrote this song in regards to the passing of his mother. He grieved for months after she passed. She appeared in one of his dreams and he stated the she had said ……. Everything is going to be ok, just let it be...…………….
全世界翻唱最多的名曲之一，但這位 尼克老兄確實有兩把刷子，頹廢感覺更勝原唱，值得聆聽與收藏!
Can't read Spanish but I like ur vibe subscribed from ur neighbor up north xoxo
Hey
that was so beautiful
Very well sang! For Nick.
Good cover of a great song that reminds me of the greatness of the original. Cave does a more original version of Pulp's Disco 2000. Totally makes it his own song.
Nick Wonderful is Cave too
Let ib be is not more a Beatles song, now it´s a Nick Cave´s song xD
De lo más dulce, tierno, etc, etc, en hombres. Dónde hay otro igual?
Beautiful Nick o x o
It's all about tastes. I personally find this cover more accessible than the original.
Good Job Nick Cave ! :)
A worthwhile cover ...
me too, she comes to me, what a top version
much better than the original. great!!
beautiful cover
This is actually very good! I Like the arrangement
Good Job !!!! I LOVE IT!!Now listen Let It Be singing by Ray Charles GOOd too!Listen!Is amazing too!
Coisa linda de deus...
Thank you MrGothic78 for letting me know this existed. I (and many others) am a better person for having heard this.
beautiful *

Belle reprises

Nick Cave's rendition of Suzanne is equal to Cohen's.
Wow
Not better than the orginal, but extremely awesome. Miss george's guitar more than anything else.
Thares no turning back
Maybe a glimpse
@NecronosisMind
Yeah, you and me both (:
Just listen...

@karenchristine9 I can see that you really understand the history of rock and roll... (SARCASM)
Erick Costa A BIT. IRONICALLY
isnt this for the i am sam soundtrack
This version is funny:)
NO-ONE except Lohn Lennon and McCartney should this song. And Nick Cave.
@karenchristine9 how. just how. are you sick?

no wonder why people think cigarettes are cool...
Far better than the original, I also thought the Joan Baez version was better, cause the even though The Beatles wrote some really great songs the are still over-rated and kinda boring
Better than John
@pman90704 yeah you are, get off the page
Mejor que la original?
SORDOS
I don't really care
I hate the beatles and everyone involved. Otherwise Nick Cave rules.
eww. i totally think that the one on across the universe is a lot better. i think it is sung with more heart. more emotion. and more thought. i love when the black lady like yells it " let it be yeah yeah"
horrible cover
1m2a3t4t5 do you still have the same opinion?
