Now and Then. The Last Beatles song. Guitar cover by Phil McGarrick. FREE TABS

“Now and Then“ is a song by the English rock band the Beatles. It was released on 2 November 2023, dubbed “the last Beatles song.“ It appeared on a double A-side single, paired with a new mix of the band’s first single, “Love Me Do“ (1962), with the two serving as “bookends“ to the band’s history. Both songs are to be included on the expanded re-issues of the 1973 compilations 1962–1966 and 1967–1970, to be released on 10 November 2023. “Now and Then“ is a psychedelic rock ballad. John Lennon wrote and recorded it around 1977 as a solo piano home demo, but left it unfinished. After Lennon’s death in 1980, the song was considered as the third Beatles reunion single for their 1995–1996 retrospective project The Beatles Anthology, following “Free as a Bird“ and “Real Love“, both based on Lennon’s demos. Instead, it was shelved for nearly three decades. It was later completed by the surviving bandmates Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, with overdubs and included guitar tracks by George Harrison from the abandoned 1995 sessions. The final version features additional lyrics by McCartney,]and Lennon’s voice extracted from the demo using the AI-backed audio restoration technology commissioned by Peter Jackson for his 2021 documentary The Beatles: Get Back. Jackson also directed the music video for “Now and Then“ The song received acclaim from critics, who felt it was a worthy finale for the Beatles.
