And she is over it.
Didn't rate it on first listen, it's a bit meh. The clip is quite emotional in some parts and flat out WTF in others.What do you guys think of the “new “ Beatles song, Now And Then?
I like it, but I have some thoughts, and didn’t want to rain on the parade of the Beatles thread here.
So the new song has basically been built around a 1970s John Lennon demo, with George Harrison parts added in ‘95, and then reworked in the present day, by Paul and Ringo (as well as producers and AI technology).
Like I said, I like the song, and it’s a good thing for themsleves and the fans that they’ve done this.
However, they’re marketing it as the “last Beatles song” which feel disingenuous to me, since when Lennon originally worked on it, it was never intended as a Beatles record.
I don’t think it shouldn’t be released, it’s a cool and meaningful thing to do, but I just feel a bit conflicted about the way it’s been described.
Would love to know others‘ thoughts.
The song itself is, IMO, not amazing, but I enjoyed it. I’m sentimental and emotionally attached to The Beatles so I cried big fat tears watching the film and then listening to the single last night.What do you guys think of the “new “ Beatles song, Now And Then?

No thats a good point, the cover is very “graphic design is my passion”The song itself is, IMO, not amazing, but I enjoyed it. I’m sentimental and emotionally attached to The Beatles so I cried big fat tears watching the film and then listening to the single last night.
I will say one thing though: the sleeve artwork is absolutely SHITE. I can’t believe that’s what they came up with. It looks like what you’d see on a pirate karaoke disc or something. Awful. If they’re plugging it as a Beatles track, which they are and it’ll be on future versions of the Red/Blue album, then they should have made more of an effort.
as a record collector, The Beatles album covers are iconic. The artwork tells a story; every one of their albums sounds different from the last - they were true progressives, and the covers reflected that. Their image was so important to all of it. The cover looks cheap and half arsed.
Sorry.
Ugh yeah. It’s… interesting. I don‘t even mean that in a sarcastic way.I do think they should all it something which indicates it’s a patchwork of contributions of the members (punchy! I should work in marketing) as this kind of thing will become a trend. I’m sure someone is doing the same with Elvis or Buddy Holly right now. There will be a new Nirvana album next 🥲
Too late to fix, I should have said “call it something“ but yeah. What is AI deceased band member music going to be called?No thats a good point, the cover is very “graphic design is my passion”

And I know we’re living in the digital era, but fans queued up for physical copies of this song.
I totally agree with you about their original artwork.

Right! I don’t know if it’s me being pedantic, but calling it a Beatles song (and the last ever), just feels wrong to me.Too late to fix, I should have said “call it something“ but yeah. What is AI deceased band member music going to be called?
I can’t stand Instant Karma. In fact, I’d probably go as far as to say I am not much of a fan of Lennon’s solo work at all.Right! I don’t know if it’s me being pedantic, but calling it a Beatles song (and the last ever), just feels wrong to me.
Why wasn’t it released as an unheard John Lennon demo, since that’s what it was? Or since P&R got involved, “a John Lennon demo reworked, ft McCartney, Harrison and Starr“ or something?
I said this on the Beatles thread but, imagine Instant Karma only ever made it as far as demo form, and then got reworked and released in this way, and called a Beatles song, it would feel wrong.
(I know I should just get over it and enjoy a nice thing )
