"The Beatles' 'Now and Then': A Wistful and Poignant Closure 45 Years in the Making"

The Beatles' final single, "Now and Then," is a modest demo recorded by John Lennon in the late '70s that has been transformed into a full-band production with the help of artificial intelligence. The song, completed during the mid-'90s sessions, features a guitar part by George Harrison, who passed away in 2001. While the AI-assisted production enhances the song, it remains a heartfelt curiosity, with lyrics expressing appreciation, nostalgia, and wistfulness. Despite not living up to the band's iconic body of work, "Now and Then" serves as a four-minute closure and a reminder to cherish every Beatles moment.
