Hi Katie, that clock belonged to George Harrison. He bought it at a shop in Providence Rhode Island back in 1997 while visiting his son who was attending Brown University. He took it home to England with him. Years later after George had died, George's wife, Olivia, decided to put the clock on the mantel. Just when she did that, the phone rang. It’s Paul, and he begins to remind her of a third song that was with the two songs, ‘Real Love’ and ‘Free As a Bird’ that they recorded in 1995. Olivia told Paul, ‘I remember it.’ Then Paul said, ‘It’s called “Now and Then.” Standing there with the phone in one hand, looking at the clock that said "Now and Then". Olivia was sort of dumbfounded and she said, ‘I think this is George saying it’s OK.’”
I'm an OG Beatles fan and have so many memories. I remember pleading with parents in 1964 to let me stay up to see the Beatles second performance at the end of the Ed Sullivan show which they did. I can remember walking from our house to the Navy Exchange on base to buy Abbey Road when it came out. When this song came out I thought of younger fans like you getting to experience a new Beatles single release. I love the song. It and for some reason Real Love have been stuck in my head all week. I'm glad they got Peter Jackson to do the video. Fantastic is all I can say. Now if they will only give him the Hamburg tape to work his magic on i will be in heaven. Happy birthday. Now when you are as old as me you will be able to tell young fans then that,"Yes, children, I remember when the last Beatles song came out. Ah, what a wonderful memory." And they will look on you with envy. Peace and Love.
I was a junior in high school when the Beatles came on Sullivan show. My life kinda changed that night. After i got outa Air Force, I bought a Hofner bass & Vox amp, and joined a band. None of the Beatles read music. I think that is why their music is so different. I thought i was worlds biggest Beatles fan, but you may have me beat! Beatles magic! 😮
Congrats on your great birthday present! I agree, it could have used a middle 8 type of thing. But its a beautiful song and a very touching and moving video. Beatles Forever! :)
I wasn't blown away by Now&then the first few listens, maybe I need to hear it a few more like you did? The video did blow me away though. Wow! So amazing!!!
Yes, listening to it a few times definitely helped me get into it more, and now of course I love it, haha. But I agree, the music video was incredible! 👍
Wow, you sure got some good stuff for your birthday! 😃 And I have the very same "Unseen Archives" book as well! 🤩 It was given to me as a birthday present two years ago. 🙂
Well happy Birthday Katie and you got some really cool gifts indeed. Now I want to get that book as well, When I frst heard Now And Then I found it so emotional and by the end of it was I was in tears and when I saw the video the next day my jaw hit the floor as I was in awe how well Peter Jackson put the whole thing together. The ending where they all bow was just perfect and I was sobbing when they put John and George in there. I can't get enough if the song.
Aww, thank you so much! I really appreciate that! :-) Your reaction to Now and Then is so sweet, I love that! And I couldn’t agree more, both the song and video are amazing! 👍
Howdy Katie-Wonderful to see you again! I too have the incredible Beatles Unseen Archives book. I was in charge o' the music books when I worked at Borders in Sand City, Ca. so I had first dibs 'n made the most o' my situation, buyin' multitudes o' fantastic music related books. Thanks for your heartfelt reaction to the Now And Then video 'n the vinyl single. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! All best wishes from John.
Aww, thank you so very much! I really appreciate it! :-) It’s cool you’ve got the book, too! It’s quite an interesting one to look through! 👍 All the best to you!
I’m a second generation Beatles fan and I love seeing that their music continues to be enjoyed by young people. It takes me back to being a kid and listening to my dad’s records. Thanks for sharing!
Katie, I love your sweet dedication and enthusiasm:), it's contagious. I, too, had to listen to Now and Then a few times before I really liked it. Keep up the great work 🙂
Aww, thank you so much! That’s very nice of you to say! 😊 Haha, and yes it seems it’s one of those songs that just takes a few times of listening to fully appreciate it-Paul McCartney’s music is like that to me sometimes, too. Thanks so much for watching, my friend! :-)
Happy Birthday! I enjoyed listening to Now and Then. They did a great job on putting everything together from John's demo tape and the continuation of the work done from the Anthology sessions. Of course, the music video ran the gamut of emotions for me. The final bow at the end really got me. The domino with the 2 & 3 on the back is interesting because "23" also appears on the album cover for the Yellow Submarine soundtrack. A fitting ending, in my opinion.
All Right!! Soo good to see you dear! Happy belated birthday! I'm honestly excited to see you. Yes, I think I expected too much the first time myself, but after the 3rd or 4th time it was "Real Love." Ha-Ha I decided to go with the white vinyl myself. I love colored vinyl and try to collect it (if it's a record I dig). I like those stickers and the book you received. You have cool parents. Well, be safe and we'll see you next time. Your Beatle buddy... ☮n' ❤
Aww, I’m glad to hear that, thank you so much! 😊 Ooh, white vinyl would be beautiful, especially against that red! :-D I really appreciate it, my friend! All the best to you! 👍
Hi Katie! Glad to see you back! I also had the same reaction to Now and Then as you, I listened to it the first time not feeling that blown away by it but definitely by the second and third listen I thought it was perfect. And the music video I just adored so much I actually started crying like a little baby watching it. Hope everything is going well with you, and happy belated birthday!!! 🥳🥳
Hi Katie - It's great to see that Apple label again ! & cant wait for the Red & Blue reissues. Hearing John sing again is magical & the video really enhances the enjoyment of the song. I enjoyed your description & liked & subscribed. Take Care !
Hi Katie. Happy Birthday! It's so wonderful to see a young person today as such a dedicated Beatles fan. I myself am 67 and listened to Now And Then 42 times in the first day of its release. In the 1960s, I was fortunate to have very understanding and patient parents, who although not quite understanding about my love for this strange new music, nonetheless bought me each album (and some 45s) when they came out. When I decided to start drums in 1965, my dad bought me my first Ludwig snare ("Dad, they have to be Ludwig because that's what Ringo plays!"). Dad got me a new Ludwig drum for every birthday and Christmas until I had a huge drum kit. (Little did I know at the time that my drums were made in the same molds that Ringo's were!) One story for you from December 1964. My parents, brother & I were driving past endless cornfields in Nebraska or somewhere. A distinctive drum sound, then guitar, came over the radio. I knew right away, before hearing any voice, who it was. I screamed as I scrambled over the car seat, "Mom! Dad! Turn it up!! It's a new Beatles song!!" The song was What You're Doing - and each time I hear it I am taken back to that wonderful moment, that beautiful era, when the Beatles changed the world. I'm so happy to see the joy you get from the Beatles. It will not wear off. Trust me on that.
Oh my goodness, that is a wonderful story! Thank you for sharing it! It’s always fun to hear how The Beatles impacted lives-it’s truly incredible. Thank you for such a sweet comment, and all the best to you! :-)
My first impression of Now and Then was that it's a good John Lennon song. Good enough that he would have eventually put it on one of his own albums had he lived longer. Since then it's been growing on me... That blue vinyl single you got looks cool, with the old school Apple and Parlophone labels. I decided that my Now and Then purchase is going to be the CD versions of the Red and Blue albums, since I still have my old vinyl copies and the CDs will have all the songs in chronological order [and remixed], and the vinyl versions will be the same song order as the old ones with the extra songs added on a third disc. Anyway, keep on keeping on your magical mystery tour... HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Haha, that was partially my first reaction to it as well! It does grow on you, though, exactly! :-) Aww, and thank you so much, I appreciate it! All the best! 😊
Happy birthday!!! So awesome to see you've got it, I want it too. If I got it I'd totally get the blue vinyl, stunning. I love Now and Then, the first time I listened to it I was just in shock of the beauty of what I heard. I loved it and what was included, Paul and Ringo and everyone did an excellent job. The video? Chills. Perfect. Seeing all the visuals were so cool and I adored every second. As someone who has heard the poorer quality version of Now and Then, I think this was such a lovely improvement and a lot like the Anthology series songs. Plus, so cool! I have that Beatles book too ❤
Hi Katie. So enjoyed listening to your insightful comments on the Beatles new record and video. You have a great understanding of the group and music in general!
All the best to your birthday! George Harrison bought the clock in 1997, it was since then in his estate. In the moment Paul called Olivia, she looked at the clock and had a feeling in hear heart, that George would be enthusiastic now to make this song come true.- Very emotional story, I think. I knew this from Matthew Street, another great Beatles enthusiast. If you don’t know his channel, you may try it.- Have fun with your beautiful light blue copy🙏🏻👍🏻 It’s a beautiful and touching song and a masterful rendition from all involved, I think.
Ooh, that’s so cool! Thank you very much for that information! :-D How neat! And I’d love to check out his channel, I appreciate the recommendation! 👍 Thanks so much, my friend! :-)
It's so good to see you back again after your long absence. Like you I wasn't blown away by Now and Then on the first hearing. However, after several replays I was able to appreciate the work they did on it to bring it to life. I don't know for sure but I have a theory about why they didn't include some of the changes John did on the original demo. As part of this project it was important to all concerned that all four former Beatles appear on the final recording. When you read the back story of how the song was developed, it states that Paul, Ringo and George attempted to 'finish' the song for the Anthology series in 1994 but abandoned it due to the technical limitations of the time. My theory is that George only played on the parts that were used in the final 2023 recording. To include the missing parts would mean that only John, Paul and Ringo would be present. Maybe? I agree that the video produced by Peter Jackson was amazing! However he did it, it was magical. Happy belated birthday and don't make us wait too long (if I can borrow a line from George) for your next posting. 🙂
Thank you so much! :-) You know you make a very good point-that makes sense as to why they cut the other parts of the song. Thanks for the insight, I hadn’t thought of that. 👍 And thanks for watching as well!
Hello again Katie, long time no see. Happy birthday! Looking forward to get the vinyl as well, but I'm going on traditional black. I believe they could use a 3rd track on the 12" single. I loved both the track and the video. Nice presents you got there!
Hi Katie! Nice to see you again! Happy Birthday! This song and video took me into a dream... I have my theory about the back cover: the minute hand is in the 11 + number 9 = 20; the hour hand is in the 2 + number 3= 23 (2023). Then 2 buttons and 3 points + the line = 6, plus the 2 points of the domino = 62 (1962). I think this (or maybe I have drunk enough today 😄)
When I first heard it I wasn't sure quite what to expect and felt somewhat underwhelmed. But then I found myself humming it, and it's something of an earworm, and now I really like it. Of course the song wasn't really finished by John and I think Paul didn't want to add too much to it and it all become about him. It was very much about John, I think. Anyhoo I like it a lot now. And belated Happy Burpday!
I’m with you-it’s definitely an ear worm! And yeah, I like that Paul didn’t add too much. It is very much John’s song, and you can definitely tell it. 👍 Thanks for watching!
Good video young lady , reminds me of the old days when we all would be asking each other. " did you he as the new Beatles song yet. " ? Thank you Frank from montana......
Aw, thank you so much! 😄 Yes, it’s pretty crazy to think that we’re getting to discuss a new Beatles song! It’s amazing! 👍 Thanks very much for watching!
i dont think your first reaction to now and then was that different to most others, mine was meh, then after more listens it was its ok. its growing on me, the video is stunning, some nice birthday presents love the stickers so cool, cheers katie
I’m with you, it had to grow on me at first. I tend to do that with most things, though, thinking about it. 😂 Thanks so much, my friend! All the best! 😊
@@katiegl yess agreed with this!! I’ve had ‘women and wives’ stuck in my head recently and have discovered that ‘sliding’ is a great one. ‘Kiss of Venus’ has always been great
@@jongomongobongogongoI couldn’t agree more! The album is full of catchy songs! The Kiss of Venus sounds so much like classic McCartney that I got chills the first time I heard it. And of course there’s so many other gems on the album. He’s such a talent. 👍
Hi again! I think maybe because the song doesn't comply with a more developed conventional structure it's kind of standing out more? From that lovely melody in the opening verse, John's voice sounding graceful and emotive the movement through the orchestrated build up is very powerful. You used 'hypnotic' and that's a good description. Let's face it this is a gift to us all and there are no quibbles from me about the validity of the project. We're so lucky. I reckon if someone got you that clock, the real one owned by George as a surprise, you wouldn't want it LoL. It's the worst clock I've ever seen. That vinyl though is lovely. Keep the faith.
Oh yes, you’re right! We’re lucky to have the song, so no complaints here either-only thoughts, haha. It’s such an honor to get to hear it, honestly. It’s just still hard to believe! Thanks so much, my friend! 😊
I know what you're talking about with how they left out the parts of the song John did on the original demo. I suspect they shortened it for radio play. That is done a lot. Radio doesn't like to play anything longer than about 3 to 4 minutes long. You would be surprised how many hit songs of the past on the radio have been edited down to about 3 - 3-1/2 minutes for radio when on the albums they are actually much longer. (CCR's version of "Heard it Through The Grapevine" was something like 11 minutes long on the "Cosmos Factory" album. But they edited it down to abut 3 minutes for the radio single) Someone has actually posted the longer unedited mix of "Now and Then" on UA-cam earlier today. It's like about 6 minutes long or so.
Katie, Now I realized that you're a big fan. "Beatles" deserved to know that you're a big fan of the band. Just like I am a big fan of "Creedence Clearwater Revival" and the solo career of "John Fogerty".
Hi Katie, my name is Russell and I have seen all your videos and have commented on many of them too. I was just wondering if you are planning on doing more videos in the near future? I know you said you are in college, and I know how time-consuming that is. Plus, when you get older doing this may fade a bit. You don’t have to answer, just curios. Take care and have much success at school. Russell
Hi, Russell! Thank you so much for watching my videos and your kind comments! I really appreciate it! :-) I do plan on doing more videos in the future, but yes college has been keeping me busy, haha. I love to make them, though, so I definitely think it’ll be something I continue in the future. 👍 Thanks again and all the best to you!
Thank you for letting me know! You are my favorite, but this other girl is pretty good too. She goes under the title A Beatleful Life. You might like her too! Take care Katie! Russell
@@rhlennon5869Aww, thank you very much-that means quite a lot! :-) And I too really love A Beatleful Life! She inspired me to create a channel, actually! 😄
Katie, I'd like to ask if you've ever listened to these classic movies soundtracks : "Saturday Night Fever (1977)", "Grease (1978)", "Stayin' Alive (1983) that whose this third movie has a direction of "Sylvester Stallone". If you ever listened, what did you think about that soundtracks? but if you didn't, I'd advise you to listen, I believe you would love these soundtracks!
Hey Katie, I have 2 Beatles posters that I know you would love. Do you have a PO Box for such items? Things fellow subscribers (like myself) would like to give you.
Aww, that’s so sweet of you! Thank you! :-) I don’t have a P.O. Box at the minute, but I’m looking into getting one (and have been, haha). Whenever it works out I’ll let you know, thanks so much! 😊
Can I ask? What's with needing a po box ? You are the 2nd person asking her for one! Just wondering. Is it a USA thing , can't get stuff to your mailbox? Thanks for educating me lol
Unfortunately all the pre-release hype of "Now And Then" all but guaranteed it to be a bit of a letdown to many fans. It has been met with mixed reviews from fans. The song isn't of Beatles quality and for me it was one listen out of curiosity and that was enough. The most controversial aspect is whether this song can be an actual Beatles record. My take on it is no. How can it be? Just because Paul McCartney says it is? Lennon recorded "Now And Then" as a demo and it was not released. The Beatles officially disbanded in 1970 so when Lennon recorded the song they hadn't been a band for eight years. I know people say it doesn't matter because all four Beatles were involved in reviving the song. Really? Maybe so but since the song wasn't recorded in the '60s during the Beatles time together I say it's a stretch to call it "The last Beatles song". If Peter Jackson has his say it will be far from the last Beatles song. He wants to mine every single second of Beatles music to find releasable music. In the words of Paul McCartney, just let it be.
Yeah, I can definitely see where you’re coming from, and I totally get it! Thank you so much for sharing your comment and for watching! I really appreciate it! 😊
Yes, I can see where you’d feel that way. It’s hard to believe we’re listening to a Beatles song all these years later! Thanks for watching, my friend! :-)

All the best to your birthday! George Harrison bought the clock in 1997, it was since then in his estate. In the moment Paul called Olivia, she looked at the clock and had a feeling in hear heart, that George would be enthusiastic now to make this song come true.- Very emotional story, I think. I knew this from Matthew Street, another great Beatles enthusiast. If you don’t know his channel, you may try it.- Have fun with your beautiful light blue copy🙏🏻👍🏻 It’s a beautiful and touching song and a masterful rendition from all involved, I think.
Ooh, that’s so cool! Thank you very much for that information! :-D How neat! And I’d love to check out his channel, I appreciate the recommendation! 👍 Thanks so much, my friend! :-)
@@katiegl Your welcome😃
It's so good to see you back again after your long absence. Like you I wasn't blown away by Now and Then on the first hearing. However, after several replays I was able to appreciate the work they did on it to bring it to life. I don't know for sure but I have a theory about why they didn't include some of the changes John did on the original demo. As part of this project it was important to all concerned that all four former Beatles appear on the final recording. When you read the back story of how the song was developed, it states that Paul, Ringo and George attempted to 'finish' the song for the Anthology series in 1994 but abandoned it due to the technical limitations of the time. My theory is that George only played on the parts that were used in the final 2023 recording. To include the missing parts would mean that only John, Paul and Ringo would be present. Maybe? I agree that the video produced by Peter Jackson was amazing! However he did it, it was magical. Happy belated birthday and don't make us wait too long (if I can borrow a line from George) for your next posting. 🙂
Thank you so much! :-) You know you make a very good point-that makes sense as to why they cut the other parts of the song. Thanks for the insight, I hadn’t thought of that. 👍 And thanks for watching as well!
Hello again Katie, long time no see. Happy birthday! Looking forward to get the vinyl as well, but I'm going on traditional black. I believe they could use a 3rd track on the 12" single. I loved both the track and the video. Nice presents you got there!
Aww, thank you so much! :-) And I agree, a third song would have been great for sure. 👍 Thanks for watching!
Hi Katie! Nice to see you again! Happy Birthday!
This song and video took me into a dream...
I have my theory about the back cover: the minute hand is in the 11 + number 9 = 20; the hour hand is in the 2 + number 3= 23 (2023).
Then 2 buttons and 3 points + the line = 6, plus the 2 points of the domino = 62 (1962).
I think this (or maybe I have drunk enough today 😄)
Oh my goodness, that’s a great theory! You’re super smart to think of that, wow! And you’re more than likely correct! :-D Thanks, my friend!
Nice video Katie !
Thank you so much! :-)
When I first heard it I wasn't sure quite what to expect and felt somewhat underwhelmed. But then I found myself humming it, and it's something of an earworm, and now I really like it. Of course the song wasn't really finished by John and I think Paul didn't want to add too much to it and it all become about him. It was very much about John, I think. Anyhoo I like it a lot now. And belated Happy Burpday!
I’m with you-it’s definitely an ear worm! And yeah, I like that Paul didn’t add too much. It is very much John’s song, and you can definitely tell it. 👍 Thanks for watching!
Good video young lady , reminds me of the old days when we all would be asking each other. " did you he as the new Beatles song yet. " ? Thank you Frank from montana......
Aw, thank you so much! 😄 Yes, it’s pretty crazy to think that we’re getting to discuss a new Beatles song! It’s amazing! 👍 Thanks very much for watching!
i dont think your first reaction to now and then was that different to most others, mine was meh, then after more listens it was its ok. its growing on me, the video is stunning, some nice birthday presents love the stickers so cool, cheers katie
I’m with you, it had to grow on me at first. I tend to do that with most things, though, thinking about it. 😂 Thanks so much, my friend! All the best! 😊
My initial thoughts were the same ☺️ From meh to I LOVE IT during subsequent plays :))
It definitely grows on you, doesn’t it? The same thing happened to me with McCartney III, haha.
@@katiegl yess agreed with this!! I’ve had ‘women and wives’ stuck in my head recently and have discovered that ‘sliding’ is a great one. ‘Kiss of Venus’ has always been great
@@jongomongobongogongoI couldn’t agree more! The album is full of catchy songs! The Kiss of Venus sounds so much like classic McCartney that I got chills the first time I heard it. And of course there’s so many other gems on the album. He’s such a talent. 👍
Hi again! I think maybe because the song doesn't comply with a more developed conventional structure it's kind of standing out more? From that lovely melody in the opening verse, John's voice sounding graceful and emotive the movement through the orchestrated build up is very powerful. You used 'hypnotic' and that's a good description.
Let's face it this is a gift to us all and there are no quibbles from me about the validity of the project. We're so lucky.
I reckon if someone got you that clock, the real one owned by George as a surprise, you wouldn't want it LoL. It's the worst clock I've ever seen. That vinyl though is lovely. Keep the faith.
Oh yes, you’re right! We’re lucky to have the song, so no complaints here either-only thoughts, haha. It’s such an honor to get to hear it, honestly. It’s just still hard to believe! Thanks so much, my friend! 😊
I know what you're talking about with how they left out the parts of the song John did on the original demo. I suspect they shortened it for radio play. That is done a lot. Radio doesn't like to play anything longer than about 3 to 4 minutes long. You would be surprised how many hit songs of the past on the radio have been edited down to about 3 - 3-1/2 minutes for radio when on the albums they are actually much longer. (CCR's version of "Heard it Through The Grapevine" was something like 11 minutes long on the "Cosmos Factory" album. But they edited it down to abut 3 minutes for the radio single) Someone has actually posted the longer unedited mix of "Now and Then" on UA-cam earlier today. It's like about 6 minutes long or so.
I think you’re exactly right! It’s honestly just cool to hear it on the radio, so I definitely get that! 👍 Thanks for watching!
How are you?. Katie-Super~ yo umade amazing unboxing- till next time,
I’m doing well, thanks! And thanks for watching as well! 👍
Buen video❤😊
Gracias, mi amigo! 😊
Katie, Now I realized that you're a big fan. "Beatles" deserved to know that you're a big fan of the band. Just like I am a big fan of "Creedence Clearwater Revival" and the solo career of "John Fogerty".
Aww, yes I am! It’s cool that you like CCR! They are very good! 👍
Yeah Katie, Unfortunatelly, There won't be another bands that would be as anthologic as "Beatles" & "C.C.R."!
@@heversonrodrigues6828You’ve definitely got a point there!
Hi Katie! Have you seen the Peter Jackson Get Back documentary? Would love to hear your thoughts on it.
I have seen it, yes! It’s amazing! :-D I might have to do a video on it at some point! Thanks for watching! 😊
The clock on the back is actually a clock that George Harrison bought back in 1997.
@@Linx-007 That’s so cool, thanks for letting me know! :-)
Hi Katie, my name is Russell and I have seen all your videos and have commented on many of them too. I was just wondering if you are planning on doing more videos in the near future? I know you said you are in college, and I know how time-consuming that is. Plus, when you get older doing this may fade a bit. You don’t have to answer, just curios. Take care and have much success at school. Russell
Hi, Russell! Thank you so much for watching my videos and your kind comments! I really appreciate it! :-) I do plan on doing more videos in the future, but yes college has been keeping me busy, haha. I love to make them, though, so I definitely think it’ll be something I continue in the future. 👍 Thanks again and all the best to you!
Thank you for letting me know! You are my favorite, but this other girl is pretty good too. She goes under the title A Beatleful Life. You might like her too! Take care Katie! Russell
@@rhlennon5869Aww, thank you very much-that means quite a lot! :-) And I too really love A Beatleful Life! She inspired me to create a channel, actually! 😄
That's amazing to know! She is not as friendly as you are! But seems like a nice young lady!
@@rhlennon5869She does seem very nice! It’d be cool to get to meet her some day! 😄
Katie, I'd like to ask if you've ever listened to these classic movies soundtracks : "Saturday Night Fever (1977)", "Grease (1978)", "Stayin' Alive (1983) that whose this third movie has a direction of "Sylvester Stallone". If you ever listened, what did you think about that soundtracks? but if you didn't, I'd advise you to listen, I believe you would love these soundtracks!
The only one I’ve listened to is Saturday Night Fever, and I loved it! I’ll have to give the others a listen, thanks for the suggestions! :-D
Katie, Ok! I think you won't regret if you listen to the last two soundtracks. 'cause it's the best movies soundtracks that I ever listened to...
Hi Katie it's been so long I miss you
Aww, thank you! :-)
Gosto muito dos seus vídeos Katie.
Thank you so much! I’m very glad you do! 😊

Hey Katie, I have 2 Beatles posters that I know you would love. Do you have a PO Box for such items? Things fellow subscribers (like myself) would like to give you.
Aww, that’s so sweet of you! Thank you! :-) I don’t have a P.O. Box at the minute, but I’m looking into getting one (and have been, haha). Whenever it works out I’ll let you know, thanks so much! 😊
@@katiegl Just let me know.
@@starshiptrooper7670I will! 👍
You have a great ASMR voice

@@romans52345-cy3tqThank you very much! That’s really kind of you! 😊
Sent to fast , did you get a p.o.. Box yet ?
Unfortunately I haven’t. :-( Unlike The Rolling Stones, time has not been on my side lately, haha.
Can I ask? What's with needing a po box ? You are the 2nd person asking her for one! Just wondering. Is it a USA thing , can't get stuff to your mailbox? Thanks for educating me lol
@@campbellclan7363I think it’s just because they don’t want to ask me for my private address-a P.O. Box is a safer way to send things I guess, haha.
I know it's trew
Unfortunately all the pre-release hype of "Now And Then" all but guaranteed it to be a bit of a letdown to many fans. It has been met with mixed reviews from fans. The song isn't of Beatles quality and for me it was one listen out of curiosity and that was enough. The most controversial aspect is whether this song can be an actual Beatles record. My take on it is no. How can it be? Just because Paul McCartney says it is? Lennon recorded "Now And Then" as a demo and it was not released. The Beatles officially disbanded in 1970 so when Lennon recorded the song they hadn't been a band for eight years. I know people say it doesn't matter because all four Beatles were involved in reviving the song. Really? Maybe so but since the song wasn't recorded in the '60s during the Beatles time together I say it's a stretch to call it "The last Beatles song". If Peter Jackson has his say it will be far from the last Beatles song. He wants to mine every single second of Beatles music to find releasable music. In the words of Paul McCartney, just let it be.
Yeah, I can definitely see where you’re coming from, and I totally get it! Thank you so much for sharing your comment and for watching! I really appreciate it! 😊
I heard the song. It didn’t sound like the Beatles. Especially when u know the vocal is the remains of John’s demo
Yes, I can see where you’d feel that way. It’s hard to believe we’re listening to a Beatles song all these years later! Thanks for watching, my friend! :-)
