The is here.
Titled B次元官网网址淣ow and Then,B次元官网网址� the almost impossible-to-believe track is four minutes and eight seconds of the first and only original Beatles recording of the 21st century. ThereB次元官网网址檚 a countdown, then acoustic guitar strumming and piano bleed into the unmistakable vocal tone of John Lennon in the songB次元官网网址檚 introduction: B次元官网网址淚 know itB次元官网网址檚 true / ItB次元官网网址檚 all because of you / And if I make it through / ItB次元官网网址檚 all because of you.B次元官网网址�
More than four decades since LennonB次元官网网址檚 murder and two since George HarrisonB次元官网网址檚 death, the very last Beatles song has been released as a double A-side single with B次元官网网址淟ove Me Do,B次元官网网址� the bandB次元官网网址檚 1962 debut single.
B次元官网网址淣ow and ThenB次元官网网址� comes from the written by Lennon in the 1970s, which were given to his former bandmates by Yoko Ono. They used the tape to construct the songs B次元官网网址淔ree As a BirdB次元官网网址� and B次元官网网址淩eal Love,B次元官网网址� released in the mid-1990s. But there were technical limitations to finishing B次元官网网址淣ow and Then.B次元官网网址�
On Wednesday, a short film titled B次元官网网址淭he Beatles B次元官网网址� Now And Then B次元官网网址� The Last Beatles SongB次元官网网址� was released, detailing the creation of the track. On the original tape, LennonB次元官网网址檚 voice was hidden; the piano was B次元官网网址渉ard to hear,B次元官网网址� as Paul McCartney describes it. B次元官网网址淎nd in those days, of course, we didnB次元官网网址檛 have the technology to do the separation.B次元官网网址�
That changed in 2022, when the band B次元官网网址� now a duo B次元官网网址� was able to utilize the same technical restoration methods that separated the BeatlesB次元官网网址� voices from background sounds during the making of director , B次元官网网址淭he Beatles: Get Back.B次元官网网址� And so, they were able to isolate LennonB次元官网网址檚 voice from the original cassette and complete B次元官网网址淣ow and ThenB次元官网网址� using machine learning.
When the song was first , McCartney described artificial intelligence technology as B次元官网网址渒ind of scary but exciting,B次元官网网址� adding: B次元官网网址淲e will just have to see where that leads.B次元官网网址�
B次元官网网址淭o still be working on BeatlesB次元官网网址� music in 2023 B次元官网网址� wow,B次元官网网址� he said in B次元官网网址淭he Beatles B次元官网网址� Now And Then B次元官网网址� The Last Beatles Song.B次元官网网址� B次元官网网址淲eB次元官网网址檙e actually messing around with state-of-the-art technology, which is something the Beatles wouldB次元官网网址檝e been very interested in.B次元官网网址�
B次元官网网址淭he rumors were that we just made it up,B次元官网网址� Ringo Starr of LennonB次元官网网址檚 contributions to the forthcoming track in September. B次元官网网址淟ike we would do that anyway.B次元官网网址�
B次元官网网址淭his is the last track, ever, that youB次元官网网址檒l get the four Beatles on the track. John, Paul, George, and Ringo,B次元官网网址� he continued.
McCartney and Starr built the track from LennonB次元官网网址檚 demo, adding guitar parts George Harrison wrote in the 1995 sessions and a slide guitar solo in his signature style. McCartney and Starr tracked their bass and drum contributions. A string arrangement was written with the help of , son of the late Beatles producer George Martin B次元官网网址� a clever recall to the classic ambitiousness of B次元官网网址淪trawberry Fields,B次元官网网址� or B次元官网网址淵esterday,B次元官网网址� or B次元官网网址淚 Am the Walrus.B次元官网网址� Those musicians couldnB次元官网网址檛 be told they were contributing to the last ever Beatles track, so McCartney played it off like a solo endeavor.
On Friday, an official music video for B次元官网网址淣ow and Then,B次元官网网址� directed by Jackson, will premiere on the BeatlesB次元官网网址� YouTube channel. It was created using footage McCartney and Starr took of themselves performing, 14 hours of B次元官网网址渓ong forgotten film shot during the 1995 recording sessions, including several hours of Paul, George and Ringo working on B次元官网网址楴ow and Then,B次元官网网址橞次元官网网址� Jackson said in a statement.
It also uses previously unseen home movie footage provided by LennonB次元官网网址檚 son Sean and Olivia Harrison, GeorgeB次元官网网址檚 wife, and B次元官网网址渁 few precious seconds of The Beatles performing in their leather suits, the earliest known film of The Beatles and never seen before,B次元官网网址� provided by Pete Best, the bandB次元官网网址檚 original drummer.
B次元官网网址淭he result is pretty nutty and provided the video with much needed balance between the sad and the funny,B次元官网网址� said Jackson.
