The long-awaited and almost mythical\u200c final Beatles recording has finally\u200b arrived. Titled &#8220;Now and Then,&#8221; this \u2063four-minute and eight-second track is a true gem, \u2062marking the first and only original Beatles recording of the 21st century. It&#8217;s a musical time capsule that takes\u200d us\u200d back to the iconic sound of the Fab\u200c Four.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;I know \u200bit&#8217;s true \/\u200d It&#8217;s all because of\u2064 you \/\u200c And if I make it through \/ \u2062It&#8217;s all because of you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>More than four \u2062decades have passed since John Lennon&#8217;s tragic murder and two since George Harrison&#8217;s untimely death. Now, the very last\u2064 Beatles song has been \u200creleased as a double A-side single with their\u200b debut hit, &#8220;Love Me Do,&#8221; which first\u2064 captivated audiences in \u20631962.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Now \u200cand Then&#8221; comes from a \u2063collection\u2063 of unreleased demos written by Lennon in the 1970s. These demos were generously given\u200c to his former bandmates by Yoko Ono. The tapes were used to create the songs &#8220;Free As a Bird&#8221; \u2062and &#8220;Real Love,&#8221; which were released in the \u2062mid-1990s. \u200dHowever, \u2062technical limitations prevented the completion of &#8220;Now and Then&#8221; at the\u2064 time.<\/p>\n<p>But\u2063 now, in 2022, the remaining Beatles, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, have harnessed the power of cutting-edge technology \u2064to bring \u200cthis masterpiece to life. Using the same restoration methods\u200b employed in the making of the\u200d acclaimed documentary series &#8220;The Beatles:\u200d Get Back,&#8221; they \u2063were able to isolate Lennon&#8217;s voice from the original cassette and complete &#8220;Now and Then&#8221; using machine learning.<\/p>\n<p>In a short\u2063 film titled &#8220;The Beatles \u2014 Now And Then \u2014 The Last\u200b Beatles Song,&#8221; released on Wednesday, the creation \u2062of the track is detailed. McCartney\u2064 explains that on\u200d the original \u200ctape, Lennon&#8217;s voice was hidden, and the piano was difficult \u200cto hear due to the technological\u2064 limitations of the time. \u200dHowever, with the advancements in\u2062 technology, they were able to overcome these obstacles and give the world the gift of &#8220;Now and \u2064Then.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>McCartney describes \u2062the experience of working on Beatles\u2062 music in 2023 as \u200d&#8221;wow&#8221; and emphasizes the \u2062band&#8217;s fascination with state-of-the-art technology. He acknowledges that the use \u2063of artificial intelligence may be both \u2064scary and exciting, but it has allowed them\u2062 to continue\u200b the Beatles&#8217; legacy \u200cin a way that would have undoubtedly intrigued \u200bthe band themselves.<\/p>\n<p>Ringo Starr confirms\u200b that the rumors of fabricating \u200dLennon&#8217;s contributions to the track\u2062 are false,\u2063 stating, &#8220;Like we would do that anyway.&#8221; He\u2062 proudly declares that &#8220;Now and Then&#8221; is the last track ever to feature the four Beatles\u2064 together: John,\u200d Paul, George, and Ringo.<\/p>\n<p>McCartney and Starr \u200bmeticulously crafted the track, building upon Lennon&#8217;s demo. They incorporated guitar parts written by George Harrison \u2064during the 1995 sessions and added a slide guitar solo in his distinctive style. McCartney and Starr contributed their bass and drum parts, while\u200b a\u200c string\u2064 arrangement was expertly\u200d crafted with the assistance of Giles Martin, son of the late Beatles producer George Martin. The result is \u2063a musical masterpiece that\u200c harkens \u200cback to the \u200dambitiousness of iconic Beatles tracks like &#8220;Strawberry Fields,&#8221; &#8220;Yesterday,&#8221; and &#8220;I\u2062 Am the Walrus.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On Friday,\u200d the official music video for &#8220;Now and Then,&#8221; directed by Peter Jackson, will premiere on the Beatles&#8217; YouTube channel.
