Now and Then

I put off listening to "Now and Then", the final Beatles record, for a while because I was absolutely afraid it would be the most bittersweet song I'd ever hear. Well, I finally did. And you know what? I WAS RIGHT!
It's a simple song, but it hits hard to hear John's voice recreated through AI tech, and after all who knows how he would sound if he were alive today? Throw in George's guitar, it's like a double dose of "The Ghost Song" by the Doors. Just haunting but undeniably beautiful.
The fact the single closes with a remix of "Love Me Do", the song that started it all just brings it all full circle.
Bottom line, if you love the Beatles, you need to hear it. But if you're a Beatles fan, chances are you already have.~

But yeah, as a big Beatles fan it was ofc bittersweet and loved seeing everyone's reaction to the song. These guys and the people around them were always innovating so it's fitting they were the ones to use new isolation tech for their final song.
