Lennon's Now & Then demo is better than the Beatles' 2023 version. The best part "I don't want to lose you" was completely scrapped. Sometimes these Lennon demos are better than the studio versions. Good Morning Good Morning demo in 1967 was similar to this.
@@anthonyrusso7120 I don't know why, there can be a lot of speculation. The most obvious answer is that Paul didn't recognize it was the best part of the song like I do! I've seen in other UA-cam comments that people speculate it had to do with the line "I don't want to lose you, lose you or abuse you" that the line about abuse can upset people today of a certain ilk in the post "me too/cancel culture" era, that was one theory someone put forth. I notice that John didn't finish the lyrics for that section, but I came up with my version "If you have to go away.... If you have to go [My end line: I won't force you to stay!"
@@GoatHoovesInSpats That's a nice completing line. Since some mixes have added that part back in unofficially but rather smoothly, I'd be genuinely curious to hear that full part sung by a circa 1977 Paul AI.
C'est du lennon pur ,je découvre et suis encore ému,tu m'as tellement apporté dans ma vie ,tu m'a manqué, et tu me manque toujours après toutes ces années passées et George aussi Merci pour ce cadeau
john was very much involved in the queer NYC arts scene, judging by demos like this one he clearly wanted to incorporate more of that influence in his work….. forever a tragedy he didnt get to put it out there :’)
This tune has lots of Broadway flourishes to me...very New York circa 70s...these demos are just perfect the way they are...that spare arrangement sells it...John could of released these songs in 76 and beat Bowie and Gabriel at progressive rock singer songwriter genre...hell, get Ezrin or Rundgren to spruce it up 😅 for sale
THIS TUNE NEEDS TO BE CLEANED UP AND GIVEN SOME NOW AND THEN A.I. TREATMENT ...WE KNOW IT IS ONLY A DEMO ...BUT SO WAS NOW AND THEN !...AND WE ALL SAW WHAT HAPPENED AFTERWARDS,DON;T WE !👍💥🥳🔥😱😱😱😭💖🙏🏻🎵
Lennon was an average player, at best, so yeah it could seem to some as though it's banging and not playing, per se. Paul handled a lot of the keyboards during the Beatles.
@@casperguylkn Hasta que en 1977 Lennon compuso sin querer tres temas de los beatles y que encima sumale el Conmovedor tema llamado Help to help myself.
What a great little tune, even in this stage
John Lennon was a musical genius
NO MATTER WHAT SONG THEY EVER DID ...THEY KILLED IT EVERYTIME....THE BEATLES....ONE AND ONLY 🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵😭😭😭😭💖💖💖💖💖💖
This needs the Now & Then treatment, it's amazing.
Amazing as it is.

Do you know why it was scrapped the middle eight I don’t want lose you?

The piano part makes me think of ABBA.
Mama miaa..
ELO Evil Woman
Beautiful ! Very few songs have a similar impact on me. Yes John, I do miss you.
never heard this before, Thanks!
Just a great tune.
Someone needs to add AI to this to clean up the recording! I would LOVE to hear a studio quality version of this!
search for "this song by Estef Lennon Band"
@@morpher44 never disgrace john lennon with a comment like that
@@John-pp6xy hugh?
With Paul George Martin and George and Ringo would have made this a masterpiece.
tambien pienso lo mismo.
quisiera q Ringo termine o interprete el tema: Nobody told me
@AlaanPlacenciaTimoteo it WAS finished!
It reminding people of ABBA and broadway is perfect because of what being a friend of Dorothy means.

0:24 hints of Now And Then
Now that you mention it... I hear it! Great job for noticing. Sharp ear.
Sounds like it suite McCartney, today,yes.
Could see Lou Reed covering this, either solo, or with the Velvet Underground!
Me too. Sadly Lou Reed has passed away.
It leans more towards John Cale than Lou Reed, but Velvet Underground's a good call.
You all nailed it...has lots of campy VU vibe to it Reed or Cale actually...Reed would've fit better...little snarky lyric wise
Exelente

Yoko put the hit out on John.
out of all the Yoko hate I don’t care for, this one is pretty funny 😂
Neil Sedaka approves.🤪
Sounds like a Freddie Mercury song....
Está tocando o pegándole al piano?... entiendo porque no salió...
Es solo un demo
