- Vocals, Piano & Guitar - John
Bass - Paul
Drums - Ringo
Strings - George Martin
This is in no way meant to replace the original but is just my take of a "cleaner" mix.
I isolated John's vocals from all 3 demo versions and layered them together, there's also an AI vocal track of John to mirror himself, just to add some clarity to the vocals as the demo's are poor quality.
The piano track was difficult to clean up so I shadowed it with Ruhani Khalid's version.
Bass is of couse Paul from the Ringo version, as are Ringo's drums.
Guitar is from Lennon's acoustic demo.
Finally I isolated Strings from the Ultimate Mix on Gimme Some Truth.
Quite a few issues with this mix as Ringo's version is in a different key to the original, also many of the demo's dont match up with either, it took a long time to try and get them all sounding right... its still not perfect but oh well.
I would have loved to add a George solo somewhere but decided against it as A he never played on any version of this song and B im not skilled enough to try and piece that together from previous Beatles tracks :-)

I´m baffled how much artistic substance Lennon still had around 1980. Composing Free as a bird, Real Love, Now and then, Grow old with me, Woman, Beautiful Boy, Watching the Wheels, Just like starting over. Most composers lose their ability quickly as they age. Lennon who between -65 and -75 had an insane artistic output, you´d think he was done hitting his 40s, but nope.
This one was allegedly up for consideration for Anthology, but they passed on it. Maybe because it had already been released in ghastly casette form by Yoko in 84. Pity, because as good as Now and Then is, the lyrics in this one are much, much more solid (emotional tug of strings-wise).
It would have been great to have Ringo sing it as John intended and used John's instruments and backing vocals
Stop.
I heard the Beatles passed up on this one because it was too personal, and was specifically for Yoko
They passed on it because of how sad it is in hindsight. John never got to grow old.
@@christopherdanieljohnston8501 Ringo re-recorded it, but his version has so much auto-tune that it doesn't sound like him.
Very cleverly put together and I'm sure well appreciated by many fans. Well done!
This song made me cry at the time it came out, thinking about what could have been.
This is the best mix/version I've heard... the chords are true to Lennon's demo. Excellent!
Great job, btw! Love what you've done with it. Frankly, they should reprocess FAB, Real Love and everything they can. It would breathe new life into it, methinks 😂
I agree but I that would probably be insulting to Jeff Lynne and the work he did with those tracks.
I love the Ringo version
Fantastic job
I am so, so glad you went to the trouble you did to make this. This is so incredibly beautiful. A huge, and I mean huge, thank you.
Magnífica canción,muy buen trabajo felicidades!!
Good job :)
Sounds great @dutchbrit84! I've been trying for years to find isolated tracks of Paul's bass and Ringo's drums from 2019 to combine with John's demo and George Martin's 1998 strings, and now you've done it! :) Would you be willing to send me all the tracks you used in your mix? I have a few changes I'd like to make for my own version to listen to, and I don't want to put the burden on you to do it, since you've already put a lot of hard work into your version.
❤❤❤❤
This was nice.
Brilliant song by Lennon esp when the orchestra backs him, yet sad because he never had the chance, obviously, to grow old with us Now imagine all th ethe r people who never chance to grow old because of idiots with guns.
😮 omg
I think the instruments are mixed well. Sometimes the doubling up on the vocals doesn’t work because it’s out of sync. Maybe go back to one voice or only double it up in certain places. Otherwise, nice work! I’m sure this took a long time.
Nice job! Yes, I would love to hear an updated version with these suggestions.
great suggestion, then it could be the official mix that never was, just that one correction on the bad doubles
Is there only a version off this just with Ringo and Paul from hog mill? Heard the boot cd between the tracks muzic people
Nett. Nicht mehr, nicht weniger.
Ringo is the best Beatle
HANG ON ...HAS THIS SONG BEEN GIVEN THE A.I. TREATMENT TOO ! ...😱😱😱😭😭😭💖💖 IS THIS A SONG FROM THE ANTHOLOGY ALBUM ....DONE IN ADVANCE !....HOLLY SHIT !, I HOPE IT IS ....WHAT I MEAN IS THAT I HOPE PAUL AND RINGO START TO DO MORE A.I SONGS (AS WE CAN SEE) THE SOUND WITH THIS TECHNOLOGY IS MUCH MUCH BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL SONGS RECORDED BACK THEN IN MONO SYSTEM 💖😭😭😱💥👍✌️💐👏👏🔥🙏🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🏴🏴🏴🥳🥳🥳
Good but the out of synch vocals needs a redo
I honestly think this is a woeful song that should be left alone. It is not of even a Threatles standard. Melodically its is a dirge and Lennon's vocals, even taking the demo sound in to account, are so thin. Thank goodness they never chose it as all of the other three are much better.
Milk and honey version is fine
Maybe the lyrics are solid, but the melody/harmonie are much weaker than Now and Then, Free As A Bird and Real Love - not only sentimental, but (much too) simple, almost like a childrens song (John would have called "granny music" if by Paul ...)
