    There is a really touching back story. Think of me now and then, my old friend was the last thing John said to Paul as Paul left the Dakota not long before John’s death. You can google the article and the eerie coincidence of Carl Perkins including the same phrase in a song he wrote a few years later to thank Paul for his hospitality at the end of an 8 day visit. It’s like there was some sort of cosmic thread connecting this song, the parting moment at the Dakota, Carl Perkin’s visit and the eventual discovery of the demo. It’s like the tape needed to be found, and how ironic that Peter Jackson would be responsible for finding John’s precious voice for one last Beatles recording.

      But they had the tape since 1994. It had 4 songs on it, Real Love, Free as a Bird, Grow Old With Me and Now and Then… the first two were done as Beatle songs for Anthology, Grow Old With Me had been released by Yoko on Milk and Honey and Ringo would record it not too long ago and Now and Then was so bad with the sound that Harrison called it rubbish so they shelved it until technology was able to separate John’s voice from the backing music.

    Thank you for your moving reaction to this final Beatles song. Hearing John's voice sing a new and beautiful song was so emotional for me. And then to see George play the guitar. It brought them all 'back to life' for a time. Hearing that John's last words to Paul were 'Remember me old friend, now and then' makes this song even more meaningful and explains the reason Paul didn't give up on it. Paul and Ringo singing in the present day is so wonderful. I became a Beatles fan at age 13 when I first heard I Want to Hold Your Hand on the radio (before they arrived in the US for the Ed Sullivan show). It's hard to explain how they changed the world from the conventional boring 'respectable' society to a new freedom of expression including in clothing, hairstyles etc. I went with a group of friends to see A Hard Day's Night at the movie theater. When the movie started a teenage boy stood up and asked the audience to make an agreement to scream through the film the first time, but for the next screening we should actually listen to the movie--and we did! My sister and I got to see the Beatles perform at a stadium during their last tour. I'm sure many fans like me think of the Beatles as family. The ending of the video showing them at different ages gave me chills. Thanks again for your reaction.

    Then Ringo joined and the circle was complete.
    They had an aura thats never been seen before. They were ours, they belonged to us in Liverpool.
    It was only a matter of time that we knew we would have to share them with the world and we we're happy to do so.
    They split, i wept like a baby.
    Then we lost John. The biggest tragedy in musical history.
    I cried for weeks.
    The Dream Was Over.
    Then George passed, another loss....and more tears.
    Now, all these years later, 2023 they're bigger now than they've ever been.

    It felt poetic to me that it ends where it all began. Arguably, the Beatles as a band really started on the Ed Sullivan show. Thats when they attained household name status. It feels right that the last few moments of their last music video for their last song is them taking their last bow on the Ed Sullivan show.

    When I heard “then and now” is coming out, I was disappointed as I wanted to “grow old with me” instead. As the song was about to come out, I was expecting NOTHING. On the day it came out. I listened to it and it was better than I expected. Then the next day when the video came out for “now and then”, I fell in love with the song as the song grew on me and it will always be one of my favorite all time Beatles song, as the message of the song, the magic of the song, the love of Paul to complete the song of his best friend John is heartwarming and finally, hearing John’s voice is priceless. Should we all not look in our heart and remember our forgotten loved ones, every now and then.

    5:41 the one thing I hope AI doesn't do is replace the human imagination. Like the whole track is not AI generated, it was just used to isolate and clean John's vocals. But pretty much John composed it, and Paul and Ringo just edited it down and added their bits, along with archival recordings of George.

Perhaps "advanced technology" won't lead us to the zombie apocalypse, but to a synthesis of all the best that has led humanity to this point. The Beatles continue to show that they are the Prism - what came before flowed through them and all that has come after has been touched in some way by them and the genius that the Beatles Collaborative (including George Martin and his team) gave to the world, and continue to give. One of your Best, Beth!

    Paul has said that these were the last words John said to him the last time they met in person in 1976 ‘Think of me now and then’. John then wrote the song in 1977 so it was clearly an idea going around his head. He then labeled the tape ‘For Paul’. We’ll never know for sure if he wrote the song for Paul, if it was thinking of a future collaboration, or if he just wanted Paul to hear it. Either way it feels so right that Paul, along with George and Ringo get to finish this off for him!

    Most reactions to this song are based on talking about the AI that was able to recreate Lennon's vocals or about the nostalgia, but one element that not a lot of people talk about is how awesome it was that the guitar part that we hear on this track is actually George Harrison, recorded before he passed away. And he recorded that, because they wanted this song to be on the 1995 Anthology album. But even though the song got cut from the album, due to the poor quality of the vocals, the guitar part still existed. So when you think about this song, it was really recorded in 3 different eras: 1970s, 1990s, present. That blows my mind.

So much incredible talent coming together - even separated by lots of years - for a last time is just heart-warming.
