The Beatles’ “Now and Then” is more than just a song—it’s the final chapter in a story that spans over half a century. Originally a John Lennon demo from the ‘70s, it’s been given new life with a little help from modern technology, featuring Paul, Ringo, and even George’s guitar from the '90s. The lyrics reflect Lennon’s signature bittersweet style, full of longing and reflection, as Paul adds his own touches to complete the track. From the AI-cleaned vocals to the emotional string arrangements, “Now and Then” brings the Beatles' journey full circle, paired with “Love Me Do” as a fitting tribute to their legacy.
