Ricky, this video is making most men emotional. It's hard to watch this and not think about our own lives and people we don't have anymore. This video gets me every time.
It's using technology to say goodbye.
Ricky agrees with you.
Exactly right. The world has shed a tear
This was written by Lennon in late 70s but was never completed so Paul and Ringo finished it. In the beginning of the video, you can see George, Paul and Ringo working on the song in the mid 90s but the technology at the time couldn't separate or make John's vocals more clear from the demo, so they had to wait until now to record it with the help of AI. It was pretty emotional hearing this the first time for me, me being a huge Beatles fan. There is also a trailer/documentary about the making/finishing the song. I would urge you to watch it, it's so good, peace.
Thank you for sharing all this great information
So poignant. The last words John said to Paul were " think of me now and then, old friend".
Thank you for sharing this important information.
So Paul played Johns piano part to honor him in his style then played the slide guitar in George’s style to honor him in a true Beatles sound!
Thanks for sharing this wonderful information.
Paul did honor both of them. He misses those guys so much.
A 60 year old band hit number 1 world wide in 2023,we will never see their likes again
Yes, simply amazing.
I tear up myself when i watch and listen to this song, i am 52 living in Sweden, not a huge Beatles fan but this ong and video is so powerful.
Yes, it definitely tugs at the heartstrings
The Beatles more than earned their special place in Music History. The Fab Four. The Beatles Forever. 🇬🇧☮️💕🎶🎶🎶
We agree. Thank you for watching and commenting.
This song reminds us of John’s hauntingly beautiful melodies and of what we lost in 1980. The slide guitar always makes me emotional. It’s a great bookend to the Beatles.
We agree. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Yes i was 13 when he was killed. Still cry.
@@RobynHurley-zp9sh I was 17 and watching Monday Night Football when Howard Cosell announced it. I’ve been mourning ever since.
@@DJ-bj8ku wow!!! Its amazing you remember that. I am praying mark david chapman will never see light of day
@@RobynHurley-zp9sh I remember it all too well. I had bought Double Fantasy in October of that year and was looking forward to a tour. I so identified with his wit, sense of humor and outlook on life. He sang about what it meant to be human. I feel like I was robbed not being able to grow old with him.
This real Beatles Song. It is amazing. 2023, and we can hear it. Greetings from a Metalhead
Yes, it is amazing. Thanks for watching and commenting.
The remarkable thing about this both Paul & Ringo are in their 80s and can still produce bangers like this one.
Absolutely Amazing! How many people even have a singing voice by that age. We loved it.
I know , recently here in the UK Sir Tom Jones had a number one album & he's 83 . He's really still got his voice . You should react to him , he's been a judge on the uk voice for the last 10 years and most episode the audience shout out for him to sing a song . On one occasion he dueted with jennifer hudson you should check it out . @@grandparentsreact
A Fitting song for a final bow.
We agree. So good.
The Now and then timeline:
1977 - John Lennon records the demo on his piano using a portable cassette recorder.
1994 - At John Lennon's Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction as a solo artist, Yoko Ono gives Paul McCartney a package containing two cassette tapes, with 4 songs in total..."Free as a Bird", "Real Love", "Grow Old with Me" and "Now and Then".
1995 - Paul George and Ringo go into the studios to record "Free as a Bird" using the demo tape as a base, and adding their own instrumentations to it. It became a single and was included on Volume 1 of their "Anthology" collection.
1996 - The three remaining beatles (The Threatles) went into the studio again to record "Real Love", it became a single as well as being included on Volume 2 of the "Anthology" collection. Since the "Anthology" collection was going to be a three piece collection, they wanted to do a third song to be released on Volume 3. Since Yoko Ono" had already released "Grow Old with Me" on one of John's posthumous LPs, they decided to work with "Now and Then". They added their own instrumentation while playing back the cassette demo, but there was just too much background hum as well as an overpowering piano and times so they stopped working on it.
2021 - While directing the documentary "Get Back", Peter Jackson's team was able to create the technology to separate tracks from original recordings.
2022 - Using the technology that separated the tracks for "Get Back", they were able to isolate Lennon's vocals to a single track. Then they added George's guitars that he recorded back in 1996, Ringo added new drums and Paul added new bass. As for the string orchestra, which was conducted by Giles Martin, (Beatles producer, George Martin's son) they were told they were going to work on a new Paul McCartney single to keep it all secret.
2023 - Finally, when all the new instrumentation was completed, McCartney and Martin added portions of original vocal recordings of "Here, There and Everywhere", "Eleanor Rigby", and "Because" into the new song, which were used for background chorus vocals. And on November 2, 2023, "Now & Then" became the last Beatles song that would ever be released that features all four members of the band.
Wow. Thank you so much for sharing this interesting and important information with us.
I agree. Bittersweet. How lucky are we (of our generation) to have been 'there'
Thank you for watching and for commenting.
This song & video gives me such nostalgic vibes. I grew up with the Beatles music as a young girl. This also makes me a little sad since John & George are no longer with us (John was murdered in 1980 & George died of cancer in 2001). But I like the video showing them all together. I am sure Paul & Ringo loved doing this tribute & it must have brought back a lot of fond memories for them. The Beatles had a great sense of humor that is shown by some of the flashbacks & like seeing the costumes from Sgt. Pepper's album.
Thank you for sharing this information with us.
I've watched most of the first time reactions videos and noticed you post the same thing on every one of them. I can't tell if you are a bot or if you're just manually copying & pasting to all reaction videos..!?
@@vertigo0105 Oh, believe me, we are not a bot. There is certain information that we choose to share on each reaction video as we are aware that new viewers are coming in with each video we post. You will notice our lists of viewers and countries of the artist continues to grow as time goes on.
The first Beatles song I heard was on British TV when I was 8 in 1962, if I remember right it was love me do, it was a song played between two programs, when the UK only had two channels.
Love this nostalgic information. Thanks for sharing with us.
Hello Tennessee, this is Michigan Calling...I can Tennessee you down there, I'm sitting on my roof lol...Caroline Buckman, one of the violin or viola players, received an unexpected call to contribute to the recording, unaware that it would be The Beatles' final song. Around May 1, 2022 they recorded the strings in Los Angeles CA area in a studio, with Paul there, but they were told it was a "Paul project."
The secrecy surrounding the project aimed to prevent rumors from spreading. Ms. Buckman never found out the song was for the Beatles. Despite this, her mother expressed immense pride upon learning about her daughter's involvement in such a pivotal song.
Tragically, Buckman succumbed to breast cancer at the age of 48 in March 2023, just 11 months after her participation in the recording.
Buckman's mother, reflecting on the news received on November 1, expressed mixed emotions.
"You're going to make me cry," she said.
"She would have been delirious about it. It is sad, but I'm very proud."
Thank you for sharing this story with us. It is bitter-sweet. And thank you for watching with us.
You probable have heard 'Free As a Bird' and 'Real Love' which came out in the mid 90's - if not, you must do, they are fantastic.
Hugs from Denmark
Thank you for these suggestions. We have added them to our list.
Great, these were released by the Beatles as part of the 'Anthology' project@@grandparentsreact
John wrote it in the 70's. The rest tried to do it in the 90's for Anthology but the piano was too loud over John's vocals. AI was used to separate his voice from the piano so they could record it & used George's guitar from when they tried before. Being a fan since I was only 4 years old when they came over in 1964, I cried watching this for the 1st time. Their last song as a band.
Thank you for watching and for sharing this important information.
Old guys have been calling new music "not real music" for probably hundreds of years. But in current year, it could not be more true. This is so much more advanced, than ANYTHING you hear on the radio. Key changes, chord progressions, surprises, these are all thing that every song used to have. Now it's just a melody with a bland, repetitive vocal, passing for a whole song.
Back in the '60's my mom would sometimes say , when she saw the fashions of the day, ''I used wear a dress or coat like that, in the 30's everything gets re-introduced, and perhaps modified, including music.
@@MrDaiseymay No doubt. I have already predicted that this age of auto tune and AI, will result in a young generation pushing back against it, and doing everything analog and real. The pendulum never stops swinging, no matter how far out it goes.
They dropped this on my birthday! New (& possibly final) Beatles song! Best gift ever! dbl ♥
Sweet birthday gift. Thank you for watching and commenting.
I lost my mother last year, she was 75 years old. So she was of you guys' age. I think she would have loved this song and I still think of her when I hear it.
So sorry for your loss. I (Wanda) lost both of my parents in the past couple of years. This song certainly touches the heart. Thank you for watching.
I remember being 3 when they sang "I Wanna Hold Your Hand". 60 years ago. Fitting & melancholy.
That's a cool memory. Thank you for watching and for commenting.
Im only 46 but my mother turned me onto the Beatlles at a young age. I cried like a baby when i first saw this.
It touches the heartstrings of most people who experience it. Thank you for watching with us.
My birthday was on Dec. 8th. I will never forget the news of Johns death. So, every birthday of me I think of him. and his songs
Sorry that happened on your birthday, but love the way you have turned it into a way to commemorate his life and music.
il never understand the sheer genius of this band. 1963 was their first album, 1969 was their last. they released 2 new albums a year. its insane productivity, and each new one had more innovation than the last. insane talents!
We agree
@@grandparentsreact Love your channel, ive subscribed too. if you could react to my song on here i would love you forever but im sure sure your busy keep up the good work! Much love from Ireland xx :-)
Calgary, Alberta, Canada! Merry Christmas and the BEST for 2024...and BEYOND!!!! S.
Thank you so much. Merry Christmas!
G'day folks. As a Gen Xer from Down Under even i am still in awe. Of the Beatles, that is.
You're not so bad yourselves. Bless.
Thanks so much for watching with us.
The most mind-blowing fact is that, with all their hits and world fame, The Beatles split up when all members were still under 30 years old! Ringo was the oldest at 29 years old.
That is truly a mind-blowing fact. I wonder if they ever regretted it.
Ringo and Paul look great.
Yes, they do.
Being a 73 yr old Beatles fan I can’t listen to this song without crying.
Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱.
Yes, it is bittersweet to watch. Thank you for watching and commenting.
@@grandparentsreact 🇳🇱❤️🇺🇸
Happy birthday to Grandpa Ricky: th-cam.com/users/shortsOjy7dpdBU7s?feature=share
Great song, nice reaction. Is that David Crosby sitting on the couch?
I thought he passed earlier this year or was it last year.
The Beatles, the most creative and I influential band in the history of recorded music and it ain't even close. FACT!
Merry Christmas and Happy Year to you both.
Peace ❤
David - - I mean Ricky, agrees with your statement about the Beatles. Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you as well. Thanks for watching.
Subscribed 👍 This is my new favourite Beatles song 😎🍹
It is such a great song. Ricky said he thinks it is fav as well. Thank you for subscribing.
@@grandparentsreact 🤗👍❤️
Great review guys! I was a junior in high school when they were on Sullivan show.. loved them ever since! This song/video gets better all the time.....😮
Thank you for watching and for your kind words of encouragement.
Great nostalgic memories for me, I first saw the Beatles live at the Cavern club in 1962, we were docked at Liverpool and I was introduced to the Cavern by a Liverpudlian shipmate.
Such cool memories. Thanks for sharing.
This was a great and very respectful reaction video.. Great job to the both of you. !!! Pete from York, England ...
Thanks so much, Pete. We really enjoyed it.
If you're interested, here is a short (12 min.) documentary by the Beatles on how this song came about: th-cam.com/video/APJAQoSCwuA/w-d-xo.html
Wonderful. Thank you for sharing this with us.
They were great n my youth too... But they're greater than a music band, they really changed the world as we knew it until then... And I'm from Oporto, Portugal...
Thank you so much for watching and commenting.
The Beatles Are The Best 👍💯
Can't argue with that. Thank you for watching.
@@grandparentsreact You're Welcome 🤗
Life is quite mysterious and time so insidious.Be ready to run for soon your time will be done and just one door left to open.
Thank you for watching
Great Reaction To This Great Song , Guy's
Thank you so much for for your words of encouragement.
@@grandparentsreact 😊😊😊
Praise be upon you , Aroha Tino nui, love from Aotearoa (new Zealand)
Thank you for your kind words of encouragement.
I loved the video, it's neat your from Tennessee, I'm in West tn
Thanks for watching. We love Tennessee. Many years ago we moved to southern California. We loved the weather, but it was like we were in a different country. We were so homesick. Only took is 3 months to get back home to Tennessee. (That was 41 years ago.)
@@grandparentsreact oh ok. Very unpredictable weather here, that's for sure.
@@bubba283 For sure!
From Montana, love your reaction to the last full Beatles song!
Thank you so much.
uk here i have been a beatles fan im now 70 years young
Wonderful to have you watching and thank you for commenting.
The 12 minute documentary on you tube explains in great detail. A must see!
Thank you so much for watching and for sharing this information with us.
5:37 I like how it slides from Sgt. Peppers era to Abby Road to White album to Rubber soul era.
You know, they really put a lot of thought into the production. Thanks for commenting.
Nice reaction ! They're a legend . Genius . Thanks from São Paulo - Brasil .
Thank you so much!
✌@@grandparentsreact
I cry when i watch every reaction to this
It can bring tears to the eyes for sure. Thank you for watching.
They came to the states in 64. They broke up in 70.
Thank you for watching and for sharing this information.
The fact that John started this song AFTER they broke up and George died before he finished this makes me think this is as not a bad song, but a cash in. It's a great song, but this was a solo John song 😊
I hope that having it brought to life in this way makes John's family happy. Thank you for watching with us.
There's a documentary about this 😊
Thank you for sharing this important information.
Ive got to subscribe
You got to do what you got to do, you know. LOL. Thank you so much for watching with us.
Paul has labeled it as the LAST Beatles song or at least the only one that could possibly have all four in it. So I wouldn't look for it. Unless some other tape shows up that they had worked on but never publish there will be no more. There is more information on the making of it and considering your reaction I would suggest looking for those videos it makes it more impressive than you think.
Thank you so much for watching with us, and for the information.
Can i suggest you google the songs recorded by other artists that the Beatles wrote that will open up alot of possible records you were not aware of that should give you joy i am sure
Good suggestion. We also welcome suggestions from viewers like you for the next reaction. Thank you for watching.
Thank You can i suggest Mary Hopkins Those were the days written by Paul McCartney the young girl hadappeared on a TV talent show and went to number 1 in the UK from memory she had a lovely voice
@@philipbillington2314 Added. Thanks.
Beginning has all four of them in funny stripped swimsuits...from a1963 home movie a doctor found and he never developed, it was released several years ago. Later they had made promo film in late 1967 for the song "Hello Goodbye." that's why the "Sergeant Peppers" unfirms with three corned hats etc. But they are also using outtakes of the film that were never used in the official video...John in white sport coat goofing off, and all of them moving drum equipment and an amplifier off the stage...that was published on computer [online] a few years ago as outtakes from Hello Goodbye. Many other things, photos, etc. But a the end the bow was from the movie A Hard Days Night [1964], but in the original movie there was no fade out, that was down by computer tricks.
Thank you for watching and for sharing all this info with us.
There's a lot of feedback static coming through, FYI
Thank you for this helpful information. We hope that, in the new year, we will be able to invest in better equipment. Thanks for watching.
Further thought you cannot go wrong with Queen Coldplay or ELO Dire Straits Sultans of Swing live at the Alchemy is probably the best live performance you will find please see my reply to yours below in relation to The Beatles and Mary Hopkins,
We added the Mary Hopkins song you requested to our list. We are both very familiar with Sultans of Swing, so probably can't do a true reaction to that one. Let us know if you want to request any particular songs from any of these other artists you lists. Thanks!
Queen Somebody to Love at Montreal Coldplay Sky Full of Stars ELO MrBlue Sky All Over the World flash mob Coldplay again Fix You the Dire Straits recording is a different kettle of fish to the standard record without seeing it you cannot really explain over 200 million from memory have seen it Best Wishes from the UK@@grandparentsreact
@@philipbillington2314 Thank you so much for all these suggestions
Rocky Racoon? Hey Bulldog?
Thank you for watching. We have added your suggestion to our list.
A crazy project, I thought. I wonder if it will work. I can only say: Yes!!!! The old magic was back after the very first notes. Hearing the voice of John Lennon shook me. The video is beautiful. It makes you cry. And then you realize that this really is the last Beatles song.
Many thanks especially to Paul McCartney. Without his technical and musical genius, it wouldn't have been so wonderful.
If you're interested, I've put two of my own clips of the song on my TH-cam channel ("Pearls for the Jukebox").
