Now and Then's eventful journey to fruition took place over five decades and is the product of conversations and collaborations between the four Beatles that go on to this day. The long mythologised John Lennon demo was first worked on in February 1995 by Paul, George and Ringo as part of The Beatles Anthology project but it remained unfinished, partly because of the impossible technological challenges involved in working with the vocal John had recorded on tape in the 1970s. For years it looked like the song could never be completed. But in 2022 there was a stroke of serendipity. A software system developed by Peter Jackson and his team, used throughout the production of the documentary series Get Back, finally opened the way for the uncoupling of John’s vocal from his piano part. As a result, the original recording could be brought to life and worked on anew with contributions from all four Beatles. This remarkable story of musical archaeology reflects The Beatles’ endless creative curiosity and shared fascination with technology. It marks the completion of the last recording that John, Paul and George and Ringo will get to make together and celebrates the legacy of the foremost and most influential band in popular music history.

43 years after Lennon's death, and 22 years after Harrison's death, the remaining two Beatles Starr and McCartney managed to give a final finishing song to the band, closing the chapter of the greatest band in history.

A minute of silence in honor of all the loyal fans who didn't live to see this legendary moment.

This video brought tears to my eyes. Such an emotional song, sad and sweet. I was 13 when I saw The Beatles at Shea Stadium. I'm 72 now.

Can’t believe I was alive to witness the last Beatles song. So wonderful.

Originally the demo from the late seventies seems that John is singing about missing his relationship with Ringo, George and Paul, longing for reconciliation. Fast forward forty years later and the song feels like Its from Ringo's and Paul's perspective, missing their dead friends, longing to be reunited. A unique song that transcends time while possessing a dual perspective and meaning. An incredibly beautiful and poignant final song.

I was 14 years old when the Beatles made it big. Today, I’m 73. Their songs were the soundtrack of my high school and college years. Their impact, their contributions, their influence on music, on our culture for decades, are simply peerless. Thanks to 21st century technology we can see them together again… What a tribute!

My dad passed away back in May just turned 65, he was a huge Beatles fan we buried him in a Beatles t-shirt. When he found out they finished ‘Now and Then’ he couldn’t have been more happy, and glad he heard this song before he passed away.
