Now And Then

Yesterday our son R. told us about "Now and Then", the new song from the Beatles, which was released on  2 November 2023.
It is a wonderful touching song, which got stuck in my mind all day long. When I told my Hanullis about it, they gathered and totally agreed: 
The last Beatles song is an emotional masterpiece.

Here you can find a short film about the song.
Wikipedia tells us:
"Now and Then" is a psychedelic soft rock ballad that John Lennon wrote and recorded in 1977 as a solo piano home demo, but left unfinished. After Lennon's death in 1980, the song was considered as the third Beatles reunion single for their 1995–1996 retrospective project The Beatles Anthology, following "Free as a Bird" and "Real Love", both based on Lennon's demos. Instead, it was shelved for nearly three decades, until it was completed by the surviving bandmates Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, including overdubs and guitar tracks by George Harrison (who died in 2001) from the abandoned 1995 sessions.

The final version features additional lyrics by McCartney, and Lennon's voice extracted from the demo using the AI-backed audio restoration technology commissioned by Peter Jackson for his 2021 documentary The Beatles: Get Back. Jackson also directed the music video for "Now and Then". The song received acclaim from critics, who felt it was a worthy finale for the Beatles."
