The Beatles 45-year delay in releasing "Now and Then"

The song "Now And Then" was written forty-five years ago. The song's first notes were written at that time in 1978 by John Lennon.
The Beatles' four members may be heard on this song, which was just finished last year.

John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr collaborated on this last song as members of The Beatles.

The original demo of this song has actually been circulating in the form of pirated releases for years.
This is a love ballad with lyrics about regret and forgiveness. It sounds musically a lot like John Lennon's solo hit from the 1970s, "Jealous Guy."

How ​​was this song created?
When Lennon recorded the song at home in New York, United States, in 1978, it was just a piano and vocal composition. The recordings were given to the other Beatles on cassette tape by Lennon's widow, Yoko Ono, following his passing. Free as a Bird and Real Love are the other two tracks on the tape.

Artificial intelligence (AI) was also utilized throughout the Now And Then recording process to "lift" John Lennon's voice from the original cassette tape.
The hiss and hum of electricity that occasionally accompanies music is also eliminated by this technology.
The biggest issues preventing the music from being finished are these two aspects. Up until the 45-year delay.

Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr finished in 2022 the process of making the song Now and Then flawless.
George Harrison contributed with a guitar solo that he recorded in 1995. Giles Martin, The Beatles' producer, helped create fresh arrangements in the meantime.

The song that brought The Beatles back together

I think Now and Then is a heartfelt and emotional meditation on the camaraderie between the four members of The Beatles. I heard this song a lot on The Beatles' YouTube channel.

The Beatles song "Now and Then," which was posted on YouTube and features all four members of the band performing and singing in full, has gotten over 40 million views since it was posted. That this song was among the top 3 globally trending songs is hardly surprising, especially considering that it fell into the top 20 after the information was made public.

"Hearing John and Paul sing the opening chorus together, when they sing the line 'Now and then I miss you', was a very moving experience for me.

Earlier, McCartney said that Lennon's voice was unmistakable during the Now and Then session. He said that the thin vocals in those early recordings may be enhanced by this method. This song will be the subject of a brand-new music video in addition to audio. There is never-before-seen material in the video, including "precious seconds" from The Beatles' early motion pictures.
