The Beatles' last song 'Now And Then' is finally released

[The Missing Shade of Blue]

I did not expect to get so emotional. What a beautiful end to their journey together. Bravo, Paul and Ringo. Rest easy, John and George.

For anyone who doesn’t know, they attempted to make this song for the Anthology release in the mid-90s. Stemming from an old demo tape from John, at the time, they were unable to isolate John’s voice under the piano, so it was scrapped. 
 

After the recent Get Back documentary, which led to new AI technology, they were able to go back and isolate John’s track. 
 

The clarity of his voice is really astonishing from the rip. This is a well rounded track and honestly sounds far better than the other two releases from the Anthology series. 
 

A very fitting end to the Beatles catalog. Thank you for sharing and reminding us that it was just released today. How many bands can say that they made music together for over 60 years?

I started sobbing when I heard this. What an unbelievably beautiful end to their story/legacy, of one of the most iconic and groundbreaking bands in music history.

I've always felt that their music was speaking directly to me but this one in particular perfectly described a friendship/relationship that's been heavily interwoven into my life for years now, and along with considering this as the final end to something that has brought me so much joy, this song absolutely broke me.

I don't like AI very much, but I am so grateful we are capable of harnessing it in a way that will allow us to unearth and polish beautiful pieces of musicianship like this. I love the Beatles and I love this song <3

Such a powerfully moving, beautiful track. Reminds me somehow of Pink Floyd's The Division Bell album.

They wanna be Lil Tay so bad it's kinda embarrassing at this point
