​Official music video of Beatles' new song 'Now And Then' to release tomorrow

Official music video of highly-anticipate new Beatles record "Now And Then" will be released tomorrow, a day after launch of the song thatPaul McCartney and Ringo Starr pieced together from a finished track of an old lo-fi John Lennon recording using breakthrough technology and machine learning. The song has undergone more than 40 years of evolution since the group's initial work on it.

Directed by Lord of the Rings series fame Peter Jackson, the video is titled "last Beatles song." Interestingly, the music video marks Jackson's debut in the short format.

A comprehensive 12-minute documentary, "Now And Then - The Last Beatles Song," directed by Oliver Murray and featuring insights from McCartney, Starr, the late Harrison, Jackson, and Sean Ono Lennon, serves as a companion piece to the song and video. The documentary traces the origins of the ambitious project undertaken by McCartney, Harrison, and Starr in February 1995, a collaborative effort to reunite the legendary band.


While the popular band released songs "Real Love" and "Free as a Bird", which were part of the Beatles Anthology project in 1995, "Now And Then" remained unfinished, stored away due to technological limitations. Thanks to the ingenuity of Peter Jackson and his team during the production of the three-part documentary series Get Back, a solution was found to isolate Lennon's vocals from the piano part, which had been recorded on tape in the 1970s.

In a poignant testament to Lennon's creative process, his son Sean reflects on his father's musical legacy, recalling the cassette recordings and unfinished songs left behind.

“My dad would have loved that, because he was never shy to experiment with recording technology. I think it’s really beautiful.”

McCartney also shares his thoughts, expressing the belief that Lennon would have welcomed the completion of his last song by the Beatles.

"We listened to the track. There’s John in his apartment in New York City, banging away at his piano, doing a little demo. Is it something we shouldn’t do? Every time I thought, like that, I thought ‘wait a minute.’ Let’s say I had a chance to ask John. ‘Hey John, would you like us to finish this last song of yours?’ I’m telling you, I know the answer would have been ‘yeah.’ He would have loved that.”
