I saw someone reference this recently, and I can’t believe I didn’t think of this myself. John’s last words to Paul were reportedly “Think of me every Now And Then , old friend”. Kind of spooky, eh?

It deserves one for technical achievement if nothing else.

I think that aspect makes the project important to Paul. It couldn’t help but impact your soul, with those words being with you all those years. I’m glad they ultimately finished the song.

Offline I listen to the song regularly – all four Beatles nailed it, across the generations they made this a reality. I think it fits into the catalogue nicely.

I’m also impressed with IMY2’s covers of other Beatle songs, including this version of Blackbird with piano accompaniment:

It could be my favourite of the ‘new’ songs they worked on and released.

I do love Now And Then , but my favourite has got to be Free As A Bird . Simply because you can feel George coursing through the whole track, it feels like the last true collaboration with all 4 Beatles.

Now today I find, you have changed your mind

Offline OK, in 2023 we see a final showdown on Rock and Roll; Beatles and Stones release new music 2 weeks apart for the last time respectively. This is like a payoff for them not going to Woodstock.
Who won?

Honestly, all things considered, I’d call it a draw.

The music video with the Ringo of today drumming was one of my favourite moments. Strong arms and as energetic as ever after all this time. A lifetime of playing that instrument and still not missing a beat.
