With the help of AI, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr have put the finishing touches on an old John Lennon demo: 'Now and Then'
Now and Then – ‘the last Beatles song’, as the promo keeps putting it – is here. The vibe is one of solemn wistfulness. The story is over. We’re sorry but it’s time to go. It’s getting very near the end.It works very neatly too, a sighing coda to both the band’s career and to Lennon’s assassination. Hearing a 37-year-old John Lennon and an 81-year-old Paul McCartney sing together again is powerful without being maudlin or uncanny.
The first and last pictures of the four of them together were taken exactly seven years apart. Paul McCartney wrote ‘She’s Leaving Home’ after reading a newspaper article about a young runaway whose parents pleaded with to return; unknown to him, McCartney had met her three years before. The band started a quasi-record company called Apple; John Lennon married Japanese conceptual artist Yoko Ono; the Japanese word for ‘apple’ is ‘ringo’.
