TV & Film

Oct 28

At long last, the teased final Beatles song seems to be on its way. Back in June of this year, Sir Paul McCartney teased that a new Beatles song was created using the help of artificial intelligence technology. However, McCartney and the son of the late John Lennon, Sean Ono Lennon, were quick to clarify that the technology was not being used to create an artificial voice for the slain Lennon but rather to extract his voice from an existing demo tape. Fans speculated about what unfinished Lennon song this could be, but most agreed that it was the aborted third Threetles track, “Now and Then.” However, this had not been confirmed until very recently.

The last song recorded by John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr as The Beatles will be “Now and Then,” and it will be released on November 2nd of this year. Not only was the title and release date confirmed, but it was also revealed that a 12-minute short film chronically the production of the track would premiere on November 1st, just one day before the single is released. A trailer was uploaded to The Beatles’ official YouTube channel earlier this week.

“Now and Then” will be released not only digitally but as physically as a double A-side record and cassette with a newly remixed “Love Me Do,” the first-ever hit for the four lads from Liverpool. The song will also be featured on the new “Red” and “Blue” album reissues, which are compilations of their hits from 1962-1966 and 1966-1970 respectively, with “Now and Then” featured as the last track on the latter. Though fans are mixed on the presentation of this monumental and historic song, the anticipation for this last gasp of the magic that is the music of The Beatles can truly be felt. “Now and Then” is set to be released digitally, on vinyl, and audio cassette on November 2nd of this year.
