The Beatles have come together with the help of AI and audio tech pioneered by Get Back director Peter Jackson.
Now And Then, written and sung by John in 1977, features acoustic and electric guitar played by George in 1995. Paul McCartney completed the bass and Ringo Starr recorded the drums in the last year.
"Now And Then" the 'masterpiece' new sung by John Lennon debuted after 45 years in the making, 43 years after Lennon's death and more than two decades on from George Harrison's passing.
Paul said finishing his friend's lost love song felt like the Fab Four were all back together again, declaring today: 'To still be working on Beatles music in 2023. Wow. It's probably the last Beatles song, and we have all played on it so it is a genuine Beatles recording. Every time I thought, say I had a chance to ask John: "Hey John, would you like us to finish this last song of yours?" I'm telling you, I know the answer would have been: "Yeah".'
Today, Now And Then was released to the exultation and excitement of tens of millions of fans. Listening parties have been held all over the world, including in their home city of Liverpool at The Cavern Club and the Liverpool Beatles Museum. Tears were shed as the song played. Liam Gallagher tweeted: 'Now n Then absolutely incredible biblical celestial heartbreaking and heartwarming all at the same time long live The Beatles LG x'.
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.
