Dont worry dear.Millions of us have had their heart broken in the most wonderful way because of this song and the film.What an encore by the best band in the world.Thank you gentlemen.
Those tears and feelings are a gift to you. I am a child of the 1960s and this song shreds me every time I hear it. The sense of connection is breathtaking ❤️
Their whole approach was so different. After WW2, they went Germany as teens. They were dedicated and always learning/growing. I love their music, I love singing it. They are a phenomenon because they continued to grow and explore. And, damn good musicians.
There was a 60 Minutes interview with Paul in about 1982? The host asked of him, "Well you can't just go on forever, can you?" And Paul said, "Why not? That's exactly what I intend to do." And he has. Paul will never retire, until he joins John.
@@danielolson5378 I agree. I think the point of the interviewer, was that people usually do retire, and get lazy, from all the money. But to Paul, it was about the music, so retirement never crossed his mind, and he never worked a day in his life, because he was doing what he wanted, instead of doing something to get paid.
@@Tijuanabill I once asked the drummer in my favorite band if they had a deadline for playing. He basically said what Paul said they have no plans to retire. As long as people are willing to pay to see them live they will keep playing on.
It’s so sad that George doesn’t get the recognition he deserves. He was an inspirational song writer…. And let’s not forget the Traveling Wilburys…. Enough said.. RIP George, you motor racing druggie, you. ❤️
I must say, as a young woman you certainly delivered a wonderful response to this Song. I’m 71 years old and began my journey with the Beatles with “I Want To Hold Your Hand” on AM Radio in Los Angeles in January of 1964. We all went down to the record stores near us an bought the 45 record. It’s so Cool 😎 you had the same emotional reaction as I did and I’m sure most did too, if you’re not a reptile 😅! This was a Gift to ALL of Us as well as to each member of the Band and Families. I Loved your Reaction to Ringo when he was singing background with Paul. Yoko gave the tape to the remaining 3 Beatles with Paul’s name on it. Paul produced the record along with Ringo and Giles Martin because Paul thought a good string arrangement would add to the sound of the Song. Paul also played the slide guitar Solo to honor George. George’s Son Dhani suggested the ending to Peter Jackson and it was honored! Everyone working on this are absolute Maestro’s in their field! Think about that!!! So it is so impressive to me that You Got It right away!!! Thank you for sharing your Take Ash!!! ❤
Can you Imagine, I being 66 years old, and as a little boy I watched the Beatles live on the Ed Sullivan Show. And all those years I loved their unique music. I grew up with them, adored them, cried for a week when that cocksucker killed John. And I'll forever wish for him to burn in Hell. And he will! And now I view Now and Then, and I'm so Sad my friend.
A little further context to the background of this song. The last time Paul saw John in the mid-70s, John's parting words were "remember me, NOW AND THEN, old friend." Then, when John recorded this demo in 78/79, he labelled the cassette with "For Paul". Gives a whole new perspective to the song and probably explains why Paul has been so desperate to finish it.
No need to apologize, that was a beautiful reaction Ash. This song definitely pulls on the heartstrings for sure. The most talented, important and influential band of all time. RIP to John Lennon and George Harrison, there spirits will live on forever. 🙏❤
The Beatles gave so much happiness to the world through their music. They gave so much but also had so much taken away from them. I feel the world is now paying it's respects to the band by making this no.1 in all the charts around the globe.
Beautiful, heart breaking farewell to John, George and The Beatles. I can't think of a better song for them to take their final bow to. Just beautiful. And Ash your reaction is so emotionally human and perfectly you. Thank you
John wrote this song in 1977 and put the song on a demo tape. He had written on the cassette "For Paul". After he passed, Yoko gave the tape to Paul. The last time John saw Paul, he said "Remember me now and then, old friend".
For all the criticism Yoko has gotten over the years, she actually has been very generous with John’s material since his passing. Had it not been for her giving the other Beatles his tapes, we probably wouldn’t have this, the anthology, and who knows how much else.
Ahh, Ash, it did EXACTLY this to me, but I’m 68, so The Beatles were HUGE for me, a major musical influence, seeing the footage of George & John made me smile & just broke my heart, both at the same time. I showed my daughter the official video and the tears just streamed down my face. They’re still flowing. This sound, it IS The Beatles!
I was at the Central Pk funeral in 1980. I grieved for years after. You, dear Ashley, pretty much embody every person's gut reaction - which I am of course appreciative. "The song is a gift" as Ken Dashow (q1043) put so well.
I am a fan of The Beatles and have been since I first heard them in 1964. Nearly 60 years later and nothing has changed for me as I am still a fan but hearing this song has brought a tear to my eye as I know it really is goodbye. Our lives have been enriched by the joy these fab 4 gave us in their music together and apart- straight to our minds and our hearts!!!
Your not the only one! My husband and I cried our eyes out watching the video when it came out. The world has been missing the music of the Beatles and the world had never been in more need of the messages it invokes (peace and love) RIP John and George.
Ash that was a most amazing reaction, your respect for the iconic Beatles was beautiful. 60 years ago they had their first number one and this has gone to number one this week, incredible.
Great reaction and no need to apologize about getting emotional, every time I listen to this my tear ducts open a big can of Whoop Ass up. I am 69 grew up with these guys watched them change music forever, they were much more than a band , they changed a whole generation
Just a side note, johns vocals on this track were pulled from a demo tape in the mid 70s. I believe he wrote this as an ode to his band mates after the split, and maybe even to the adoring fans. Just so happens that it has been finished by the remaining members, in part in the 90s with George still with us. Ringo and Paul have spent the last few years perfecting this emotional Swan song
John's voice was isolated from the original 1977 demo tape of his "Now And Then" song. And played throughout this recording. Also, an older George is shown, along with Paul and once with Ringo from their 1995 Anthology studio session. Playing his guitar to the original tape. The song was not finished at that time, though, as the original tape was not considered suitable for a professional release. However, technology now exists that can isolate John's voice from his original tape. Making it usable. This allowed Paul and Ringo to play and sing live along with John's and George's recordings, in the recent studio recording. Making this a true Beatles song.
This is by far my favorite reaction to the video so far. I haven't been able to watch the video the whole way through without crying yet. It's the bow at the end that keeps getting me, mostly because it is farewell. It's the end of The Beatles for good, it's the end of an era of music that we will never witness again. Rest in Peace John and George. Keep on rocking Paul and Ringo.
Many people who have done reactions to this have cried. You are not alone. I cried too. The older George Harrison was from the sessions from the prior two John demo songs from 1995. The tech on the ones brings iut John's voice better. Thanks again for this😊
I was a 15/16 year old who watched John, Paul, George and Pete.....in many of the lunchtime sessions in The Cavern in 1961/1962, we knew they were going places. I was in the audience the day Mr Brian Epstein came to see what all the fuss was about. Then Ringo joined and the circle was complete. They had an aura thats never been seen before. They were ours, they belonged to us in Liverpool. It was only a matter of time that we knew we would have to share them with the world and we we're happy to do so. They split, i wept like a baby. Then we lost John. The biggest tragedy in musical history. I cried for weeks. The Dream Was Over. Then George passed, another loss....and more tears. Now, all these years later, 2023 they're bigger now than they've ever been. Seeing them together in this video, i have shed more tears. I've loved this quartet for 62 years and i was 78 on the 6th of November, still living in Liverpool and I'll love them til the day I pass away. God bless John, Paul, George and Ringo for all their talents and achievements they have shared with the world. Love, Love, Love ❤❤❤❤❤❤
It's okay, I literally had a roll of paper towel while watching this. If this don't bring emotions to you then check to see if your heart is still beating
I was born with them, I listened to it 20 or 25 times today. This is the gift of the month of November for lovers of these geniuses. That's what music has, it transports you and talks to you about your feelings. And to see that people like you, who could be my granddaughter, are excited about this issue, says a lot about those from Liverpool. Beatles forever
Great reaction. For those, like me, who were there at the beginning, is there anything left to say about the greatest band in the history of the Universe? Maybe just thank you John, Paul, George and Ringo. You wrote the script to my life.
As a long-time Beatles,/Lennon fan since I was 4 years old when they came over in 1964, I cried when I watched this for the 1st time. AI was only used to separate John's voice from the piano. John even wrote in the cassette tape, "For Paul." His last words to Paul were "Think of me old friend. Now & Then, I'll miss you.
Wow, that's a reaction video indeed. A strong gut punch to the empathy you show on some of these music videos never ceases to amaze. Really appreciated TH-cam reaction, keep up the great work and continue showing your beautiful humanity!
John was so deeply in love with his wife, Yoko that, I believe, every love song he wrote was inspired by her because he adored her so much. That said, the song is now relevant as a bitter sweet homage to his bandmates and friends. Paul has said: "How lucky am I to have had all of these remarkable men in my life!" He gets it!
Great reaction Ash. They've done one hell of a job pulling this together and the work done on the video puts an amazing bow on the whole thing. Certainly brings a tear to the eye just to see the four of them there together again, The Get Back doc was such a fascinating piece of art - just to see them sitting down crafting songs/melodies and lyrics was incredible. Whoever could have thought that four cheeky working class kids from Liverpool could achieve so much - truly mind blowing.
I really like this song. I'm glad you reacted to it. It is the perfect "last song from the Beatles" Makes me think of what could have been, both with the Fab Four and in my own life. I love it when songs just put you into that introspective mood. It's also so catchy. I've only listened to it a couple of times, and I found myself humming and singing along already. Glad you love music so much. Nothing else makes your brain light up the way music does. it's good for you, dammit!
The world was robbed of so much more. Two and a half Beatles whipped one Beatle's scraps into a masterpiece. Just imagine what they could have done together again.
I'll be 50 next month and I grew up listening to the Beatles on the radio,my mom had all their albums,I'm not a huge fan of the first albums,but their later psychedelic albums like Rubber Soul,Sgt Pepper,etc,always transfix me!💘💘💘
Loved your reaction! The Beatles were a gift to the world as a reminder that, above all, we should love one another in peace and harmony. Their music transcended time and has become classic. What an influence they had to all who listened, and continue to listen. Sixty years between number one hit singles! Wow!
This was sooooooooooooooo good! I cried all the way through it ESPECIALLY during the chorus....the "I miss you" part broke my heart! WOW that was amazing. Thank you Ash *hugs*
The part in the beginning where Paul sings to the image of John 'it's all because of you' broke me right off the bat because it was like Paul thanking John for starting everything. It was all because of him that there were Beatles for the world to have and love.
Most people cry watching this video and listening to that song...I cry like for a week now each time I watch it^^ So don't worry you're just ahuman beiing like all of us^^
Thanx. Very good reaction that catch why everyone who sees it are crying. I'm pleased The Beatles are touching your generation as deeply as mine, born in 1960. Since then 😂 no song has touched me soo profoundly. I've seen the video more than a dozen times. And still it makes me cry eveytime.
That video…what a wonderful feeling of loving closure! My four older brothers have thereby extended the most sublime farewell I’ve ever experienced. The analyzed video is definitely the best music video ever produced! Who else could have done this? The Beatles…always The Beatles!
The only AI was technology created be Peter Jackson for Get Back. He used it to remove John's voice from his piano. All four Beatles actually are on this.
“Heart squisher”!!!! I love this! Yes, it is. I’m 71, and first heard The Beatles in 1964. With this video, all it took was the first two chords on the piano, and I went, OH, crap! Yeah. Magic? Amazing? Brilliant? Yes. And the purring kitty at the end of *your* video: what a bonus. Thank you.
....El Día Que Parta De Este Mundo Quiero Que Me Despidan Con Esta Hermosa Canción, Del Grupo Musical Más Inmenso De La Historia.... Gracias Desde Argentina Hasta Las Lágrimas........
Created from a demo cassette John recorded before he died, which Geotge played on with Paul and Ringo for their Anthology series, but it was never released. Paul and Ringo worked on it with George back then, and added stuff for this one. So it's literally all four Beatles contributing.
THis song is great, and the way it was put together is so heartwarming. You can really feel John and George being there. Imagine The Beatles reaching the charts in 2023?! Also Rolling Stones came out with a new album, and as you should know they always had a friendly feud for the charts. So The Beatles coming out with a new song at the same time as the new Rolling Stones album is hilarious! Want to cry even more? The tape of the original John Lennon recording had two words on it: "For Paul"
There have been some great bands but tell me, what other bands could have people who weren't even alive when the broke up crying and sobbing 50 years after they existed as a band. I was 13 in 1963. I grew up with them and I love that the video shows John and George happy and smiling to allow us to remember them fondly as people who lived such a full life full of life. This doesn't make me sad. I makes me happy I got to experience them.
In their early days they started of with primitive rock methods then finished with today's technology in AI what a run from the best selling rock band of all time, love you beatles ❤️
That one photo with george and john in the black hats, is just about the finest photo of these guys together other than the street crossing photo❤️🤘. Just as the beatles first song is history, so will this last beatles song
Beatles are my favourite band - this song was resurrected from the dead out of McCartney’s love for John and George. The video was directed by Peter Jackson who also used his expertise to extract John’s vocals Good re@ction.
You are a major sweetheart!! I loved watch you experience this song/video for the fist time! N&T is #1 in England and The Beatles are blowing up all over again, around the world! I have been a fan since I was a kid in the late '60s/early 70's and The Beatles bring me so much joy and rocking fun, and they always have! I just picked up the re-mastered and augmented "Red" and "Blue" compilation CDs, from Capitol Records, and I've been blasting the boys all week long! The Red & Blue CDs are having their 50th anniversary re-release and they've added all kinds of additional songs and they included N&T as the last song on the Blue album! It all sounds so good, with the remixes, and The Beatles are just as relevant today as they were back in the 60's, IMO. Have fun and listen to more Beatles! :)
Notice that the older versions of Ringo and Paul in the video are wearing black and represents that they still are in mourning and miss George and John. While in the video George and John wear britghter colors.
I was -10 years old when they were introduced to the world. I grew up listening my mom's 45 of I Want To Hold Your Hand/I Saw Her Standing There, Meet the Beatles LP, and Rubber Soul LP in my room. I lost my mom in September of 2021, and this song, as well as Blackbird, Yesterday and In My Life instantly connect me to her (and reduce me to tears). ❤
Damn, that whole experience was making my allergies act up. I don't think I've come across your channel yet but I'll probably go ahead and subscribe. This was such a great moment to be shared.
Thank you so much.. really. I just stumbled upon your video, and it was exactly what I needed.. I was wandering by with this feeling all by myself, with no one to share it with.... And this sort of did it ❤
I was 11 years old and was visiting my aunt who lived nearby. My cousin who was about 17 asked me if I wanted to hear a record she had just bought. I listened to the music and was blown away, suddenly the grey, drab world, as it was in those days, became technicolour. The record was The Beatles first ever album. It is one of my most wonderful memories.
No need to apologize. I have been watching people on TH-cam react to this video all morning and crying. If it's so emotional for fans, I can't imagine what it was like for Paul and Ringo to watch this after it was finished.
It's not AI, it's all real. The technology was used to clean the sound of the old cassette, but it's John singing. George's guitar is from the 1995 Anthology sessions, and the video is made using old videos and photos. There's nothing faked by AI.
Honestly, I thought the song was fine hearing it on its own but the video has really made me love it much more. Those last 10 seconds, ugh, my heart. Love this reaction.
Hello Ash, first time seeing you and loved your reaction when you heard those first notes. I basically had the same reaction, when I heard it, mostly because of My Mom, she was a huge Beatles fan, it's too bad she isn't around to hear and see it, she died a year ago.
The boys from Liverpool have been present for 60 years in the minds and hearts of millions of fans and are still capable of making us laugh and cry... All the love!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Awesome reaction, as a man I feel weird for saying I got teary eyed also. This is this last song, and it inspired me to get back in touch with my family. Love is all you need.
It's awesome how sounds from different times were mixed to create this beautiful final song ❤ I'm grateful with life to allow me to grow with The Beatles music 🎶❤
The Beatles were such a part of my childhood. This song is simply amazing and haunting. The video only makes it that much better. The first time I heard it was was in tears. I turned 60 last month and well up when I hear it. The orchestral piece was written by Giles Martin. The son of famed Beatles producer George Martin. Which makes it a family affair and he certainly has his fathers talent to be sure. When Lennon was assassinated I was getting ready for a test the next day in school. Monday Night Football even interrupted the game to tell the world what had just happened. That video is still out there. My mom begged me not to go to New York. The next day in homeroom the teacher had written on the chalk Board that we were to sign out names on the attendance sheet. I found that teacher along with several others and double that amount of students in the music wing. We spent the day listening to Beatles and Lennon songs. Consoling one another as the emotions would hit. Not one student was marked absent from any class that day. As word got around to the other teachers where we were and why So, you get as emotional as you need to. Your reactions show you to be a wonderfully caring young lady.
This was the most insanely special and instantly iconic and it was the the absolute biggest dream come true to see all of the Beetles together and I will always love and cherish the music they have given and there is no harm in being emotional during this song it just shows how galaxy sized your heart is I love youuuuuu!!!!!🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
No matter if one doesn't like The Beatles or loves them, it's simply a fact that they are the biggest, most iconic, most innovative, and most influential band ever. They actually changed culture.
Ash, I am 63 years old and first time on your channel. I remember my brother letting me use his headphones to listen to Sgt Pepper the day it came out. Quite an experience for a 6-year-old. The day after John was shot I had a final exam at Ohio State and there was no way I could take it so I wrote , "taking this exam under protest", handed it in and left without answering a question. The Prof didn't average it into my grade., so that was really cool. I was so messed up emotionally that night I drove to Indianapolis, stopped at a Waffle House, got a cup of coffee and drove back to Columbus. Every single channel on the radio no matter where I was had a Beatle tune on. Talk about the feels! Forty-three years later Peter Jackson and The Beatles drop this video and Immediately I was transported back to December 9th, 1980. I was a mess for about a week or two. But it was a good kind of mess - incredibly surprised to have lived long enough to have experienced the final new The Beatles song and it sent me back to the deep, dark depression of December 9th again along with the glorious affirmation of the joy of all the music, laughter, insight, and wisdom that John, Paul, George and Ringo gave to all of us over the years. Thank you for taking the time for your reaction video. You weren't the only one who cried. BTW, I subscribed.
A beautiful tribute to the greatest band in history. They broke through every kind of technological barrier in their music and this amazing use of AI in the hands of brilliant technical musicians and engineers has brought them together again and back to us in a magnificent song and video that probably brought tears to anyone who appreciated their music and their special charm, as it certainly did to me! God bless The Beatles who contributed so much to millions and millions of lives and have done it once again. It may be their last song but we have all of their songs to enrich our lives and this with the video is certainly their most poignant one! Paul and Ringo continue to represent the best of those boys from Liverpool. As Ringo sang in Liverpool 8, “Liverpool I left you, but I never let you down”.
Damn, now you got me crying like a kid and this is the third time I hear this song! It is all three of them playing! They did half of this song in 1995!
I saw another commenter say that The Beatles have that absolutely rare capacity to make one laugh and cry at the same time.
@@edgarsnake2857 Peter Griffin does the same thing!
Dont worry dear.Millions of us have had their heart broken in the most wonderful way because of this song and the film.What an encore by the best band in the world.Thank you gentlemen.

Being a 73 yr old Beatles fan I can’t listen to this song without crying.
Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱.
I cried because, I lost both my Maternal grandparents in January 2021; in the same week to Coronavirus. I miss them both terribly
Well done ‘Our boys’ you took your final bow . Rest in peace George and John. From an old Beatles fan aged 65 from your homeland England
The Legends of Liverpool!! They make me happy every time I hear there masterpieces
and when the neon sign THE BEATLES faded away and went off.. that's a goodbye :(((
Paul McCartney is 81 yrs old... Ringo Starr is 83... and they are still playing live... Unbelievable Legends

I heard that Peter Jackson floated the idea of the ending to Dhani and decided to use if because of Dhani's emotional reaction.
Man... that ending... It just destroyed me! It felt as if they we're saying "this si really it for us".

Wow magic voice of john is back its beautiful
I'm 73. I grew up with the Beatles' music. The tears are flowing.
I'm 71 and just learned it on piano ! I have a small studio and do all sorts of Beatles and Lennon ! Never stops amazing me ?

Many people who have done reactions to this have cried. You are not alone. I cried too. The older George Harrison was from the sessions from the prior two John demo songs from 1995. The tech on the ones brings iut John's voice better. Thanks again for this😊
I was a 15/16 year old who watched John, Paul, George and Pete.....in many of the lunchtime sessions in The Cavern in 1961/1962, we knew they were going places. I was in the audience the day Mr Brian Epstein came to see what all the fuss was about.
Then Ringo joined and the circle was complete.
They had an aura thats never been seen before. They were ours, they belonged to us in Liverpool.
It was only a matter of time that we knew we would have to share them with the world and we we're happy to do so.
They split, i wept like a baby.
Then we lost John. The biggest tragedy in musical history.
I cried for weeks.
The Dream Was Over.
Then George passed, another loss....and more tears.
Now, all these years later, 2023 they're bigger now than they've ever been.
Seeing them together in this video, i have shed more tears.
I've loved this quartet for 62 years and i was 78 on the 6th of November, still living in Liverpool and I'll love them til the day I pass away.
God bless John, Paul, George and Ringo for all their talents and achievements they have shared with the world.
Love, Love, Love
❤❤❤❤❤❤
It's okay, I literally had a roll of paper towel while watching this. If this don't bring emotions to you then check to see if your heart is still beating
I was born with them, I listened to it 20 or 25 times today. This is the gift of the month of November for lovers of these geniuses. That's what music has, it transports you and talks to you about your feelings. And to see that people like you, who could be my granddaughter, are excited about this issue, says a lot about those from Liverpool. Beatles forever
I'm french and this song gave the same emotions. The Beatles are unforgettable and eternal
The bow at the end when they vanish makes it real to me that this is there last song.
Great reaction. For those, like me, who were there at the beginning, is there anything left to say about the greatest band in the history of the Universe? Maybe just thank you John, Paul, George and Ringo. You wrote the script to my life.
As a long-time Beatles,/Lennon fan since I was 4 years old when they came over in 1964, I cried when I watched this for the 1st time. AI was only used to separate John's voice from the piano. John even wrote in the cassette tape, "For Paul." His last words to Paul were "Think of me old friend. Now & Then, I'll miss you.
Wow, that's a reaction video indeed. A strong gut punch to the empathy you show on some of these music videos never ceases to amaze. Really appreciated TH-cam reaction, keep up the great work and continue showing your beautiful humanity!
I love how this song slowly builds up adding more and move orchestra & harmonies tambourine sound & slide guitar 🎸 😊😊
R.I.P John and George, thanks for the memories guys, because of my dad I was exposed to the Beatles, u you guys changed the music scene forever
Oh honey, we're all crying with you. So happy to see so many others that music touches their soul. John and George are smiling ❤
John was so deeply in love with his wife, Yoko that, I believe, every love song he wrote was inspired by her because he adored her so much. That said, the song is now relevant as a bitter sweet homage to his bandmates and friends. Paul has said: "How lucky am I to have had all of these remarkable men in my life!" He gets it!
Great reaction Ash. They've done one hell of a job pulling this together and the work done on the video puts an amazing bow on the whole thing. Certainly brings a tear to the eye just to see the four of them there together again,
The Get Back doc was such a fascinating piece of art - just to see them sitting down crafting songs/melodies and lyrics was incredible.
Whoever could have thought that four cheeky working class kids from Liverpool could achieve so much - truly mind blowing.
I really like this song. I'm glad you reacted to it. It is the perfect "last song from the Beatles" Makes me think of what could have been, both with the Fab Four and in my own life. I love it when songs just put you into that introspective mood. It's also so catchy. I've only listened to it a couple of times, and I found myself humming and singing along already. Glad you love music so much. Nothing else makes your brain light up the way music does. it's good for you, dammit!
The world was robbed of so much more. Two and a half Beatles whipped one Beatle's scraps into a masterpiece. Just imagine what they could have done together again.
It grew on me. At 1st wasn’t as much as multiple listens and watching the video. Can’t get the tune out of my brain nor do I really want to!
This one had me all up in my feels the first few times I heard and watched it as well. Love how raw and real your reactions are. So authentic.
I'll be 50 next month and I grew up listening to the Beatles on the radio,my mom had all their albums,I'm not a huge fan of the first albums,but their later psychedelic albums like Rubber Soul,Sgt Pepper,etc,always transfix me!💘💘💘
Loved your reaction! The Beatles were a gift to the world as a reminder that, above all, we should love one another in peace and harmony. Their music transcended time and has become classic. What an influence they had to all who listened, and continue to listen. Sixty years between number one hit singles! Wow!
The best group ever!❤️
This was sooooooooooooooo good! I cried all the way through it ESPECIALLY during the chorus....the "I miss you" part broke my heart! WOW that was amazing. Thank you Ash *hugs*
The part in the beginning where Paul sings to the image of John 'it's all because of you' broke me right off the bat because it was like Paul thanking John for starting everything. It was all because of him that there were Beatles for the world to have and love.
If you have lost someone recently and are a Beatles fan, this song hits hard.
Most people cry watching this video and listening to that song...I cry like for a week now each time I watch it^^ So don't worry you're just ahuman beiing like all of us^^
I've been a fan since 1963 and met them in 1964. Multiple watching of this has twisted my emotions into a Gordian knot. ❤
Must me quite a memory of an experience not may can say they’ve had.
Thanx. Very good reaction that catch why everyone who sees it are crying. I'm pleased The Beatles are touching your generation as deeply as mine, born in 1960. Since then 😂 no song has touched me soo profoundly. I've seen the video more than a dozen times. And still it makes me cry eveytime.
I've said in other posts, that there are things worth crying about, and this is certainly one of them
What I love about you most IS that you feel music so deeply--no need to apologize! You got soul to spare.
The Beatles are my favorite band of all time. They have helped me when I have had dark moments in my life and my mind.
If he had his way, Paul would’ve kept the band together forever. You can see how much he enjoyed this.
Just gorgeous, and beautifully painful. The story of my early childhood. Thank you.🖤
That video…what a wonderful feeling of loving closure! My four older brothers have thereby extended the most sublime farewell I’ve ever experienced. The analyzed video is definitely the best music video ever produced! Who else could have done this? The Beatles…always The Beatles!
The only AI was technology created be Peter Jackson for Get Back. He used it to remove John's voice from his piano. All four Beatles actually are on this.
“Heart squisher”!!!! I love this! Yes, it is. I’m 71, and first heard The Beatles in 1964. With this video, all it took was the first two chords on the piano, and I went, OH, crap! Yeah. Magic? Amazing? Brilliant? Yes. And the purring kitty at the end of *your* video: what a bonus. Thank you.
Beautiful and Emotional Song
....El Día Que Parta De Este
Mundo Quiero Que Me Despidan Con Esta Hermosa Canción, Del Grupo Musical Más Inmenso De La Historia.... Gracias Desde Argentina Hasta Las Lágrimas........
Seen this at least 20 times….so emotional,poignant! Miss John and George soooo much 🌹🌹
Created from a demo cassette John recorded before he died, which Geotge played on with Paul and Ringo for their Anthology series, but it was never released. Paul and Ringo worked on it with George back then, and added stuff for this one. So it's literally all four Beatles contributing.
It definitely is. The Bealtes worked together once again, in different ways, and in the 21st century.
THis song is great, and the way it was put together is so heartwarming. You can really feel John and George being there. Imagine The Beatles reaching the charts in 2023?!
Also Rolling Stones came out with a new album, and as you should know they always had a friendly feud for the charts. So The Beatles coming out with a new song at the same time as the new Rolling Stones album is hilarious! Want to cry even more? The tape of the original John Lennon recording had two words on it: "For Paul"
They changed my life.
YOU THE YOUNG MUST KEEP THE BEATLES ALIVE!!
If John tried to make us all cry with this song, he succeeded. A tear for every word and every note of this song. 😢😢😢
The consiousness of John and George is still there.
There have been some great bands but tell me, what other bands could have people who weren't even alive when the broke up crying and sobbing 50 years after they existed as a band. I was 13 in 1963. I grew up with them and I love that the video shows John and George happy and smiling to allow us to remember them fondly as people who lived such a full life full of life. This doesn't make me sad. I makes me happy I got to experience them.
When Yoko found this cassette tape there was a note in John's handwriting that said "For Paul".
In their early days they started of with primitive rock methods then finished with today's technology in AI what a run from the best selling rock band of all time, love you beatles ❤️
♥ The Beatles! They dropped this on my birthday! Best gift ever! Def some tears on my 1st (and maybe 2nd & 3rd) listen 😳
I feel the same way as you. My cousin and I listened and watched the video which brought tears to our eyes. We loved it. Good reaction.
That one photo with george and john in the black hats, is just about the finest photo of these guys together other than the street crossing photo❤️🤘. Just as the beatles first song is history, so will this last beatles song
Beatles are my favourite band - this song was resurrected from the dead out of McCartney’s love for John and George. The video was directed by Peter Jackson who also used his expertise to extract John’s vocals
Good re@ction.
You are a major sweetheart!! I loved watch you experience this song/video for the fist time! N&T is #1 in England and The Beatles are blowing up all over again, around the world! I have been a fan since I was a kid in the late '60s/early 70's and The Beatles bring me so much joy and rocking fun, and they always have! I just picked up the re-mastered and augmented "Red" and "Blue" compilation CDs, from Capitol Records, and I've been blasting the boys all week long! The Red & Blue CDs are having their 50th anniversary re-release and they've added all kinds of additional songs and they included N&T as the last song on the Blue album! It all sounds so good, with the remixes, and The Beatles are just as relevant today as they were back in the 60's, IMO. Have fun and listen to more Beatles! :)
I cried for four days listening to this piece of art.
Notice that the older versions of Ringo and Paul in the video are wearing black and represents that they still are in mourning and miss George and John. While in the video George and John wear britghter colors.
I was -10 years old when they were introduced to the world. I grew up listening my mom's 45 of I Want To Hold Your Hand/I Saw Her Standing There, Meet the Beatles LP, and Rubber Soul LP in my room. I lost my mom in September of 2021, and this song, as well as Blackbird, Yesterday and In My Life instantly connect me to her (and reduce me to tears). ❤
Beatles number 1 forever
Damn, that whole experience was making my allergies act up.
I don't think I've come across your channel yet but I'll probably go ahead and subscribe. This was such a great moment to be shared.
Oh, and it might just be the best love song of all time.
Thank you so much.. really. I just stumbled upon your video, and it was exactly what I needed.. I was wandering by with this feeling all by myself, with no one to share it with.... And this sort of did it ❤
I was 11 years old and was visiting my aunt who lived nearby. My cousin who was about 17 asked me if I wanted to hear a record she had just bought. I listened to the music and was blown away, suddenly the grey, drab world, as it was in those days, became technicolour. The record was The Beatles first ever album. It is one of my most wonderful memories.
No need to apologize. I have been watching people on TH-cam react to this video all morning and crying. If it's so emotional for fans, I can't imagine what it was like for Paul and Ringo to watch this after it was finished.
It's not AI, it's all real. The technology was used to clean the sound of the old cassette, but it's John singing. George's guitar is from the 1995 Anthology sessions, and the video is made using old videos and photos. There's nothing faked by AI.
John wrote that song as a love letter to Paul. The last thing John said to Paul was, "Think of me every now and then, will you?".
Every single reaction to this, not a dry eye. Including myself. It's almost like a bookmark for humanity, for our collective lives, Wow.
Honestly, I thought the song was fine hearing it on its own but the video has really made me love it much more. Those last 10 seconds, ugh, my heart. Love this reaction.
Hello Ash, first time seeing you and loved your reaction when you heard those first notes. I basically had the same reaction, when I heard it, mostly because of My Mom, she was a huge Beatles fan, it's too bad she isn't around to hear and see it, she died a year ago.
The boys from Liverpool have been present for 60 years in the minds and hearts of millions of fans and are still capable of making us laugh and cry... All the love!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Awesome reaction, as a man I feel weird for saying I got teary eyed also. This is this last song, and it inspired me to get back in touch with my family. Love is all you need.
It's awesome how sounds from different times were mixed to create this beautiful final song ❤
I'm grateful with life to allow me to grow with The Beatles music 🎶❤
The Beatles were such a part of my childhood. This song is simply amazing and haunting. The video only makes it that much better. The first time I heard it was was in tears. I turned 60 last month and well up when I hear it. The orchestral piece was written by Giles Martin. The son of famed Beatles producer George Martin. Which makes it a family affair and he certainly has his fathers talent to be sure.
When Lennon was assassinated I was getting ready for a test the next day in school. Monday Night Football even interrupted the game to tell the world what had just happened. That video is still out there. My mom begged me not to go to New York. The next day in homeroom the teacher had written on the chalk Board that we were to sign out names on the attendance sheet.
I found that teacher along with several others and double that amount of students in the music wing. We spent the day listening to Beatles and Lennon songs. Consoling one another as the emotions would hit. Not one student was marked absent from any class that day. As word got around to the other teachers where we were and why
So, you get as emotional as you need to. Your reactions show you to be a wonderfully caring young lady.
This was the most insanely special and instantly iconic and it was the the absolute biggest dream come true to see all of the Beetles together and I will always love and cherish the music they have given and there is no harm in being emotional during this song it just shows how galaxy sized your heart is I love youuuuuu!!!!!🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Beatles*
I’m still crying saw them at Shea Stadium 1965z🙏🏻
No matter if one doesn't like The Beatles or loves them, it's simply a fact that they are the biggest, most iconic, most innovative, and most influential band ever.
They actually changed culture.
It is relieving to see your reaction. This world keeping souls like yours will be a better place! ❤
such a beautiful soul you are ash stunning reaction as per usual hope you are ok? big hugs
Ash, I am 63 years old and first time on your channel. I remember my brother letting me use his headphones to listen to Sgt Pepper the day it came out. Quite an experience for a 6-year-old. The day after John was shot I had a final exam at Ohio State and there was no way I could take it so I wrote , "taking this exam under protest", handed it in and left without answering a question. The Prof didn't average it into my grade., so that was really cool. I was so messed up emotionally that night I drove to Indianapolis, stopped at a Waffle House, got a cup of coffee and drove back to Columbus. Every single channel on the radio no matter where I was had a Beatle tune on. Talk about the feels! Forty-three years later Peter Jackson and The Beatles drop this video and Immediately I was transported back to December 9th, 1980. I was a mess for about a week or two. But it was a good kind of mess - incredibly surprised to have lived long enough to have experienced the final new The Beatles song and it sent me back to the deep, dark depression of December 9th again along with the glorious affirmation of the joy of all the music, laughter, insight, and wisdom that John, Paul, George and Ringo gave to all of us over the years. Thank you for taking the time for your reaction video. You weren't the only one who cried. BTW, I subscribed.
A beautiful tribute to the greatest band in history. They broke through every kind of technological barrier in their music and this amazing use of AI in the hands of brilliant technical musicians and engineers has brought them together again and back to us in a magnificent song and video that probably brought tears to anyone who appreciated their music and their special charm, as it certainly did to me! God bless The Beatles who contributed so much to millions and millions of lives and have done it once again. It may be their last song but we have all of their songs to enrich our lives and this with the video is certainly their most poignant one! Paul and Ringo continue to represent the best of those boys from Liverpool. As Ringo sang in Liverpool 8, “Liverpool I left you, but I never let you down”.
I’m obsessed with this song.
Damn, now you got me crying like a kid and this is the third time I hear this song! It is all three of them playing! They did half of this song in 1995!
