- «Let It Down» es una canción del músico británico George Harrison publicada en el álbum de estudio All Things Must Pass. Es reconocida como un extremo de la influencia que el productor musical Phil Spector tuvo en el sonido del álbum, así como una de las composiciones de Harrison que no encontraron cabida en The Beatles y que afloraron en su primer trabajo en solitario tras la separación del grupo. Una versión diferente y en acústico de «Let It Down» fue publicada en la reedición de All Things Must Pass en 2001 como tema extra. (es)
- "Let It Down" is a song by English musician George Harrison, released on his 1970 triple album All Things Must Pass. The recording was co-produced by Phil Spector and employs the latter's Wall of Sound production technique to lavish effect. Its brash opening and choruses contrast with the ethereal quality of the verses – a loud/soft approach that has been credited with influencing indie bands during the 1980s and 1990s. Harrison wrote the song in 1968 and offered it to the Beatles in January 1969 for inclusion on what became their Let It Be album (1970), also produced by Spector. It is one of several Harrison compositions that were turned down by the band and subsequently found acclaim on his first solo release following their break-up. Harrison biographers recognise "Let It Down" as an erotic love song, perhaps written to a woman other than Pattie Boyd, his wife at the time. Separated by 18 months, the song's conception and recording marked two periods of romantic intrigue involving Harrison, Boyd and their friend Eric Clapton. Author Ian Inglis describes "Let It Down" as "a dynamic and passionate depiction of lust and desire". Harrison recorded the song in London, backed by a large cast of musicians, including the whole of Clapton's newly formed band Derek and the Dominos, Gary Brooker, Gary Wright, Bobby Keys and the group Badfinger. With its dense mix of horns, orchestral strings and heavy rock instrumentation, commentators identify "Let It Down" as an extreme example of Spector's influence on All Things Must Pass, an influence that also provided a disruptive element during the album's creation. An acoustic version of "Let It Down", also taped in 1970 but with overdubs recorded in 2000, appeared as a bonus track on the 30th anniversary edition of All Things Must Pass. (en)

- The Beatles' loss is Harrison's gain. The guitarist had brought songs such as "All Things Must Pass," "Let It Down" and "Isn't It a Pity" to the Beatles in their fractious final months, only to have them rejected ... Instead, they end[ed] up on this audacious coming-out party ... (en)
- He's been a bit outrageous, but he was very sweet. He was like a giant person inside this frail little body ... Most of the stuff I did with Phil, I ended up doing about 80 percent of the work myself. The rest of the time I was trying to get him into hospital ... (en)
