I think it's beautiful. The lyrics to the song are close to the last words spoken to Paul by John. I'm not surprised that Paul felt that it was so important to see this song finished for his friend while he still could. The end of the video where it fades to black and white then the Beatles are gone really does seem to signify that this is the absolute end for the group. Very emotional ending.

@andyhalliwell2338 10 месяцев назад

The fact that they get younger in the clips as the song goes on and they vanish at the end, and The Beatles in lights goes out, it's like they are saying "That's it folks, the circle is complete, thank you and good night X"

Its incredible to think the Beatles formed, wrote and recorded all their music, and broke up before any of them turned 30 years old. Its insane to think of the creativity that poured out of those guys in such a short period of time. This song captures that. Now and Then. The old with the new. Its a great swan song.

This song is so fitting. It’s almost feels like it’s a final goodbye to the fans. I’ve cried a lot as you can imagine. Feels like we were robbed of what could have been, had John not been murdered in 1980. All in all, The Beatles and Peter Jackson did an excellent job taking John’s demo and breathing extra life into it.

Agreed. We've been blessed with the closest thing we can expect to a fitting end to an epic story and for that I thank Paul for his stubborn insistence in seeing through to completion the hint of the potential he heard in this song since 1995. An incredible gift that hit me in all the right places emotionally. We have no idea if or how The Beatles story would have continued beyond 1980 if John and George were still with us today. What we do have, at least, is the best attempt and intent by Paul, Ringo, and the estates of George and John to give us closure. And the results are more than I could have ever expected. For that I'm thankful.

It was hard to feel John's real presence in those songs, but with this one he really jumps out of the speakers. It made me cry from sure.

@peztopher7297 10 месяцев назад

Exactly what I think. For me the strings are too much, plus some Paul piano that sounds strange. I feel like it should just have been remastered as a Lennon song. But it's an emotional legacy thing for Ringo and Paul. There's an analysis video that says some parts were taken out, the bridge for the guitar solo was added, and some Beatles background vocals were recycled, for example from "Because" on Abbey Road. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Xk88M4ABo_4.html

In fairness, this might well have ended up on a Lennon album in the 80s or 90s, had he not died. I’m not sure there are vaults worth of unfinished material from the rest of them. McCartney, for example, has had plenty of time to go through everything, and is fairly prolific. Harrison wasn’t really that prolific at all - as I understand it most everything he wrote was released in some form before he died.

I agree that despite all the decades that have passed it is still an original composition that no one else incidentally made during the passing years, like you said. However the song Endlessly by Muse, released in 2003 has similar chords and some phrases in this song sound almost alike, which is quiet surprising. So it makes me wonder if Matthew Bellamy (singer from Muse) did hear the original demo, or the 95 session, or if he simply just incidentally landed on the same musical ideas, or grabbed it from the same place out of the ether, while writing his song.

My initial impression is that it's a nice Beatles song, and the second best of the three post-John recordings. "Real Love" is still my favorite of the three. I'd love it if they re-released "Free as a Bird" and then "Real Love" as AI-enhanced singles.

The guitar solo was laid down by George in mid 90s but the slide part was recorded in 2022. Much in style of him of course. If you didn’t know, you wouldn’t know:) beautiful song, it Free as a bird still has the upper hand imo. Thanks for the analysis Justin, always nice to hear your thoughts!

@doctorrobert1339 10 месяцев назад

George didn't do a solo for this song since they didn't actually work on it very long, however he did play a rhythm track I believe, so they used those tracks for this and Paul himself said that he played the slide solo as a tribute to him.

The Beatles were at the top of the game in the 60's and yet again, at the forefront of making music stretch through time. The first band to be able to put together a song that stretches over 50 years of collaboration. Very emotional track. I love it..... GOD SAVE THE BEATLES!

The "now and then I miss you" line gave me the feeling that John was actually thinking of Paul when he wrote it. It is really a fitting closure (if it really IS closure, that is; I wouldn't be surprised if they came up with a new "last Beatles song" in a couple of years).

@eily_b 10 месяцев назад

Totally possible. I watched A LOT of clips and videos since Get Back and I saw a clip of John being interviewed on a beach and he said that he was totally ready to go back to the studio and record again with the others after they settled their dispute over Allen Klein. I think John even admitted that John was right, not an easy thing to do for some egos. May Pang also said that John really missed Paul. They were best friends since they were 14,15 years old. Both of them had lost their mothers too early, their thing for music etc. Those are our best friends with friendships lasting the whole life. John and Paul had a special bond.

@GregorBarclay 10 месяцев назад

On the topic of another last Beatles song, I’d be surprised if there weren’t other Lennon tunes on tape that were just wildly unsuitable for release in ‘95, too noisy and compromised, and subsequently not even considered. I’d be interested to see if any of those are now dusted off by someone, just out of curiosity, to see what they can do with them with the new tech. However as far as it being a new Beatles song, it would need to have contributions from all four of them so unless someone unearths a demo with Lennon and Harrison both playing on it, it ain’t gonna happen.

@nachovillaro7750 10 месяцев назад

@@GregorBarclay I'm aware of how the story went, what they did for the Anthology project, and apparently that was all there was. But Jackson himself said there's quite a bit of unused and as yet unseen stuff from the Let It Be sessions. And not lo ng ago I saw a compilation of unpublished songs some of which were actually new to me and pretty good...

@GregorBarclay 10 месяцев назад

I get the impression that, to the remaining Beatles, the appeal of Now and Then, FAAB and Real Gone was that they were tracks that they hadn't previously heard - thus the enthusiasm to build something out of them. Whereas any unreleased stuff Jackson is hearing on the Let It Be tapes will be stuff all four Beatles heard and discarded 50 years ago. I don't know quite what Jackson is suggesting tbh, it's not like there's going to be songs hiding in there that can be unearthed in the way he unearthed the dialogue in Get Back - the only reason the dialogue was hidden was because it was unmiked - the music has been clear the whole time, and as I understand it all the songs from those sessions have been available as bootlegs for decades, so there aren't really any surprises in there.@@nachovillaro7750

Thank you so much for this review, Justin. It is amazing that technology can give it a clean, contemporary sound and yet they keep what many of us regard as the essential Beatles components and the nostalgic vibe. When I heard it premiered, I felt unexpectedly emotional. Saying you like something is a valid critique. Big respect for you being your own person on this.

Thank you so much for the music and the memories.
