The Last Beatles Song Has Been Released And It’s Pretty F*cking Good

The Beatles have surprised and delighted their fans with the release of Now and Then, a song that features the voice of John Lennon, who died in 1980. The song was created from a demo tape that Lennon recorded in the late 1970s, and was given to the remaining Beatles by Yoko Ono in 1994. The song was unfinished and had technical difficulties, so it was shelved until recently, when artificial intelligence was used to isolate Lennon’s voice from the piano sound. Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr then added new vocals, bass, drums, and strings, while keeping George Harrison’s guitar parts from 1995. The result is a bittersweet and poignant finale for the Fab Four’s recording career.

Now and Then is a slow and melancholic ballad, with Lennon singing about his nostalgia for the past and his longing for the future. The lyrics are simple and heartfelt, such as “Now and then I miss you / Now and then I wonder what I’m gonna do / Now and then I think about you / Now and then I know it’s true”. The song has a haunting quality, as Lennon’s voice sounds distant and fragile, while McCartney and Starr harmonize with him in a tender and respectful way. The song also features a slide guitar solo that pays tribute to Harrison, who died in 2001.

The song is not a Beatles classic, nor does it have the same energy and innovation as their earlier works. But it is still a beautiful and touching song that celebrates the bond between the four bandmates, who changed the history of music and culture. It is also a gift to their loyal fans, who have waited for decades to hear their final song. Now and Then is a fitting farewell to the Beatles, who have left us with an amazing legacy of songs that will live on forever.
