Beatles released their last new song after almost three decades . the track now and then featuring the performances from all four of the group’s members , is released at 2 pm on Thursday with a music video to follow on Friday.
The idea behind the beatles last song
The song was originally written and recorded by John Lenon in the late 1970s in his New York Home. The late star’s demo version featured him singing and playing the piano The song features musical contributions from all four members of the group including guitar recorded by the late George Harrison in 1995 and vocals by John Lennon drawn from the song’s original late -70s demo music . it was written and sung in New York City’s Dakota building , where he was murdered in 1980.
After his death in 1980 aged 40 his wife Yoko Ono gave the tape to the rest of band members, along with recordings of Bird and Real Love, which were reworked and released in the mid -1990s. then the group’s surviving members lncluding george harrison ,also worked on that song during sessions.
However they ended up with some problems that were arising due to extract the lenon’s vocals and piano from his demo music because of limited technology at that time.
The editing process of the beatles last song
After few years later in november 2001 Harrison died ageing 58. Now , in recent times audio restoration technology has allowed lennon’s original demo music to be cleaned up and used alongside Harrison’s electric and acoustic guitar recordings for the song in 1995. after taking vocals from the vocals from The beatles tracks here There and everywhere have been added.
The new versions of two of the band’s greatest hits compilation albums will also be released on 10 th November.
A documentary has also said about this new song , it will be a last beatles song, and Sir paul MCCartney said it was” exciting” to be working on new beatles music in 2023.
Talking abou the song Dr. Holly Tessler of the University of Liverpool , who specialisees in the beatles history and it’s legacy. “It’s strange to think that a band that broke up more than 50 years ago is telling you that this is our last song…in a way, Paul and Ringo, who are both in their 80s , are drawing a line. It’s a very sweet moment Isuspect for almost Beatles fans ; it feels like an ending . So I do think It’s significant”
