“Now And Then” is billed as the final Beatles song, but Peter Jackson has the means to make a few more Peter Jackson pioneered a new technology for the Beatles doc Get Back that used machine learning to separate out voices and sounds, which was then applied to the Lennon demo and turned into “Now And Then.”
If he wanted to, Jackson could also theoretically create a “new” Beatles song from the raw material to which he has access. “It did cross my mind!”, “We can take a performance from Get Back, separate John and George, and then have Paul and Ringo add a chorus or harmonies. You might end up with a decent song but I haven’t had conversations with Paul about that. It’s fanboy stuff, but certainly conceivable.”
“I know Paul misses John,” says Giles Martin, producer of “Now And Then”. “He was his best mate. There was a falling-out and he died. It was so destructive for Paul. But here he had John’s song and thought he’d like to work with him again. I don’t think that’s cynical.”
Jackson also feels “Now And Then” is a message from John to his old friends: “It sounds like John is writing a message as an apology for however he may have behaved. I found that incredibly moving, that the final Beatles song is the Beatles singing to each other.” So maybe this final song will be final, after all.
