Yes, you read that right- the Beatles are releasing a brand new song for the first time in years. The song’s called ‘Now And Then’, and as of now you can only pre-order it. We can only hear the cassette demo tape of the song written by John Lennon and left for Paul McCartney. Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr used AI to help isolate the vocals from the tape to make the song sound like a real Beatles recording. We can also watch a preview for the song containing quotes from the remaining Beatles as of 1995 on social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok.
Here are the quotes from the preview:
“When we lost John, we knew that it was really over.” -Paul McCartney, 2023
“I was talking to Yoko and she said, ‘Ah, I think I’ve got a tape of John.” -George Harrison, 1995
“Paul called me up and said, ‘Would you like to work on ‘Now And Then?’ He put the bass on, I put the drums on.” – Ringo Starr, 2023
“It’s the last song that my dad and Paul and George and Ringo will get to make together.” – Sean Ono Lennon
“How lucky was I to have those men in my life?” – Paul McCartney, 2023
This is an important moment for Beatles fans everywhere, and maybe we can bring back Beatlemania once and for all. For information about the song as well as preview video itself, visit thebeatles.com
