“The Long and Winding Road” is a Beatles piano ballad written by Paul McCartney from their 1970 album Let It Be. It was one of the first songs released after the band’s breakup and their final number one hit as a group on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
Brian Wilson considered it his favorite Beatles song. Many thought that Phil Spector massively overdubbed the original version. My version is closer to a non-overdubbed recording later released on Anthology 3.
Everyone sees different meanings in songs. Whether you view it as a nostalgic look back, an allegory for our lives, or even a quest toward God or spirituality – it’s one of my favorites.
Enjoy,
