Since they broke up in 1970 The Beatles seem to be the gift that keeps on giving. Every year we’re blessed with new Beatles projects; including remixed tracks, movies, and even brand new songs. I’m going to talk about the incredible power and longevity of the band; and share my feelings about the newest release “Now And Then”.

I'm almost seventy now, and I've loved the Beatles since I can remember. I so appreciate your love for them and your great comments.
I’m so sorry I’m just now seeing your comment. I really appreciate you watching and your kind words. Thank you for watching!
I have the exact opinion as you about this song. I appreciate you saying exactly how I feel about Now and Then.
George was right i have to say. He was such a genuine person.❤
Thanks for your comments! I agree with you about George Harrison. He was such an honest and authentic person. I admire John Lennon for the same reason. I also think it’s why both George and John had such a hard time with the overwhelming fame and myth of the Beatles. Paul and Ringo just took it all in stride; but George and John both seemed shell shocked by the burden of being in the most famous and influential band in history. I thinks that’s why John dropped out of music for 5 years and George became a hermit in his final years. They were such sensitive people and I think the unfathomable fame of being in The Beatles was difficult for them to process and recover from. Anyway thank you for the great comments!
Its a good song and video
As a long time lover of all things Beatles, I do see your point on this song. I still love it and the video. Your overall love for these wonderful guys is refreshing to hear. {lease keep it up as I subscribe now to you and begin my journey through your video!!
Well done take on The Beatles.
Thank you that means a lot to me. There’s no other band or artist that’s more important to me than the Beatles. I know I’m not alone! right now I’m working on another episode about Abbey Road. I’ve listened to that album thousands of times and it’s still knocks me out. Stay tuned!
I totally agree with your assessment of the Beatles and their music and their magic . I think it was divine intervention that brought us the Beatles .
That’s a conversation I would love to have with you. Because I feel that there was something otherworldly involved in in them coming to the world. Their music has a magic that impossible to describe.
Aren't you glad that Martin recorded the Beatles with the Best microphones made ?
Absolutely! The Beatles records sound different than any other music that was coming out at the time; or anything that has come out sense. The recording engineers that worked on those tracks were phenomenal and the production and mixing is just otherworldly. Put on a track like hard days night or help or any other track, and their music sounds completely different than any other artist. The combination of their brilliance with George Martin, producing in the incredible EMI recording engineers made music that will last for centuries.
I know I could talk to you for hours , lol
Then you must be a Beatles not like I am! Thanks for watching!
I can really relate to your Beatle obsession, and I love it
I'm the same kind of weird Jon
I hope that they redo the first two with the ai
Agreed that this really doesn't have as much Beatley sound or input as the other two songs, and I would have been more accepting of this as a John Lennon track that was "polished off by friends." Unfortunately, this was a bit of unfinished business nagging at Paul, and he just couldn't let it rest. As a result, they put out a spectacular production, but as a "Beatles" track, it's gimmicky in a way that Free As A Bird and Real Love weren't. The only way I would have accepted this as a Beatles release is if they had done the MAL software treatment on Free As A Bird and Real Love to finally make John's voice sound pure and up front, and released all three songs as an EP. That way we would have gotten something extra and worthwhile along with the new song. But sticking it on the Blue album was cynical marketing, and degrading of the legacy --- something Apple has usually been more careful about. I resented the money-grab aspect. Two other minor gripes -- Ringo's drumming sounds bog standard and doesn't have his usual flair, as the other two tracks do... And couldn't they have done up some nice artwork that didn't look like a Photoshop placeholder?
I totally agree with your assessment. I can tell we both think exactly the same on this issue. But in the grand scheme of life, I doesn’t really matter; it’s just important to people like yourself and me who love their music so much. Music has become so awful over the last 20 years that I feel like the Beatles legacy should be protected and cherished and honored. It seems to me that the people in charge of the Beatles brand “Apple core” are being taken over by younger people who don’t understand how important this music is. The good thing is that the Beatles music will outlive all of them and all of us. It has a magic that has solidified its position in the history of mankind. Thanks for watching!
Their best sounding album sonically is Abbey Road imo
I agree! It’s a superb sounding album. But all of their recordings were impeccably produced. I just rediscovered Sgt Pepper because of the stellar remix released in 2017. It made me fall in love with the album in a fresh way. I highly recommend it. It’s like a brand album for me. Thanks for watching!
@@JonBlackstone - what do you think of the remix of "Abbey Road"? I have heard bits and pieces of it, but haven't gotten it yet. I'm a 70-year-old & on Social Security. Money is tight for me. But "Abbey Road" is my favorite Beatles' album & I want the box set.
@@josephblue4135I absolutely love the Abbey Road remix. I love all the remixed albums with the exception of the red and blue albums. They took some liberties on some of songs. Thanks for watching!
I am not a fan of "Free as a Bird" and only think "Now and Then" is ok. I do like Real Love though. I wonder if Now and Then could have been better had George been still alive and the three had done more work on it? Anyway, hope you keep making your videos about our fav band.
I feel the same as you. I never listen to Free As a Bird; but I really love Real Love. First of all I love the song (one of my fave post Beatles Lennon songs) and I love what they added to the song. George’s guitar parts are killer and the backing vocals are gorgeous. It became a very Beatley track in the end. It also wasn’t as influenced by Jeff Lynne’s typical production style (which I do not like at all). The “new” Beatles song is not legitimate as far as I’m concerned. I don’t even include it in my Beatles library. Like I said in the video it’s totally disingenuous to say it’s a Beatles track. I wish Paul and Ringo had simply released it as a special tribute to John and left it at that. But in the grand scheme of life it’s not that big a deal. I’m glad younger people got to experience the excitement of one last “new” Beatles song. But I have to admit I’ve never been disappointed with anything they’ve done as part of the official Beatles cannon until “Now and Then”. Unfortunately I see it as a sign of things to come. Paul and Ringo are very old men now and I assume they’re not as concerned about protecting the legacy as they once were. Now The Beatles are in the hands of their kids; who have a more modern understanding of their dad’s legacy. Thanks again for your great comments!
@@JonBlackstone I hate to say it but I feel like some of the big artists are just chasing as much money as they can now. I do like what Paul has done with solo album anniversary releases and the books have been great.
Would you accept a colorized HARD DAYS NIGHT version if it was done with a.i. ?
Absolutely not! The thought of it makes me ill. One of the main appeals of that movie besides, it’s brilliance is the fact that it’s shot in stunning, beautiful, black and white film stock. I love black and white films. The work and craftsmanship it took to make black-and-white films look beautiful is immeasurable. The lighting technicians that worked on those black-and-white films were masters of their art.
I'm good with it except for omitting l don't want to lose you
I love the Beatles with whole heart and soul but I'm not impressed with this final song. Still sound unfinished to me. I thought free as a bird was cool, I thought Real Love was totally fabulous, and new sections with some great musical transitions . And a great George solo.
I think they should have fixed Grow old with me as a Beatles track, was way better than this new one.
Agreed on all points.
I was underwhelmed by Now and Then as a song. It's another wimpy pandering to women/Yoko song. But I guess, that was John at that time.
