Described as The Beatlesā final song, āNow and Thenā has finally been released, featuring the voice of the late John Lennon decades after he first wrote it.
I like it. Nice to have new Beatle song.
Decent song. Great to hear Johnās voice. I wish Paulās backup vocals were louder.
You can hear Paul and or Ringo in some parts and I think the reason the vocals arenāt louder is because theyāve lost a significant amount of their vocal range.
I heard this on the radio today. Itās fine, maybe better and definitely less weird than what was pushed out 30 years ago but seriously, why?
They originally couldnāt fully isolate just Lennonās vocals from the original recording, but technology has now advanced to where they can. Thatās the why it is released now.
Peter Jackson and his team are the MVPs
Why not? Itāll give some people a bit of pleasure, itās interesting to hear.
but seriously, why?
Itās a pretty cool and special release in my opinion, no need to be a hater. Literally all of the Beatles were included on the track as each of them touched it in some way over the last 30 years: Johnās now isolated vocals from his demo tape was the starting point, Georgeās recorded guitar parts from before he died and obviously Ringo and Paulās work too. Given Paul and Ringoās ages itās a beautiful send-off to some of the most famous and influential musicians to have ever lived.
These are really good points and I apologize for coming across as a hater. I think part of my thoughts were around the release in the 90s where it was incredibly hyped up with a count down clock and whatnot.
Your point of being able to use this as a send off to Paul and Ringo is especially true. Sorry to be a butt about it and thanks for the clarity!
Enjoy your day _
