    Now I know why Paul McCartney didn’t give up on the new song “Now and Then” Significant personal meaning to him.

    That was no coincidence, him singing that song to Paul with those lyrics at the end. People can think otherwise, and thats their right, but that was John, dropping off a message to his mate that everything is ok.
    Personally, I've witnessed myself on spiritboxes, and old friends who had just passed tell me how much they missed me and our other friends. Reading about it and actually experiencing something like that changes your worldview. There is so much more going on around us than we could ever imagine.

    Same thing happened while Olivia Harrison was putting an old clock George had bought on the mantle. Paul called her to ask if it was okay to work on the song written by John that he, Ringo, and George had started working on in 1994. As she was looking at the clock Paul told her the song was called 'Now and Then', and the clock had the words 'Now' and 'Then' written on it.

  • @cards0486
    @cards0486 3 года назад +167

    Carl left out the most important fact in that story. Paul was crying because the last thing John said to him was in the hallway of The Dakota. “Think of me now and then, old Friend” as he patted Paul on the back.
    Paul had never had a full out hard cry of grief since John died.
    Carl Perkins had no idea of that fact.
    Writing that song for Paul and Linda was no coincidence. John helped him write it.

    The way Paul looks at him is incredible. Like he's in awe (to be fair, we all should be). How did Paul react to John telling him that? Did he think it was odd? Like "where are you going"? Did John know? It's all just eerie, in a beautiful way.

    Many may not know. Carl was an evangelist... The Holy Spirit will have you say things unaware that can turn out to be just what's needed for the moment. Have seen it happen more than once. The person speaking is not consciously doing it. He just felt like saying it.... God is the God of all comfort.

    One this is certain, neither Paul or Carl knew John had recorded a demo tape called “now and then” prior to his death, and Carl wrote this just a few months after Lennon died.
    Yoko didn’t give the demo tape of “now and then” to the Beatles until 1994 or so.
