The track is based on a demo recorded by Lennon in the late 1970s at his home in New York’s Dakota BuildingThe track – sourced from a Lennon demo using technology to extricate and isolate his voice – was made available across streaming platforms on Thursday.
During this period, Harrison, Sir Paul and Sir Ringo recorded new parts and completed a rough mix for “Now And Then” with producer and musician Jeff Lynne. However, the band did not release the song, citing issues extracting Lennon’s vocals and piano in a clear mix due to limited technology at the time.“Robbed of the opportunity to participate in a true final collaboration with his greatest muse, McCartney instead elevates this suggestion of a song into a realised record, one where its elegant, softly psychedelic flow lets Lennon’s longing linger in the subconscious,” he wrote.
“That regret is articulated clearly in a chorus of ‘Now and then, I miss you/ Now and then, I want you to be there for me/ Always to return to me’, words that sharpen John’s original intention with its second newly written clause. It’s a passage where Lennon’s yearning for McCartney intertwines with Paul’s mourning for John, a shared grieving for the partnership that defined both their lives.
“In that sense, ‘Now and Then’ does provide something of a fitting conclusion to the Beatles’ recorded career — not so much a summation but as a coda that conveys a sense of what the band both achieved and lost.”Culture
