Now and Then

With the help of new technology, We’re privileged again To have a brand-new Beatles song Entitled “Now and Then.” Though, sadly, John and George are gone, Their vocals are alive And tapes of their guitar finesse Have managed to survive. Combining those with Paul and Ringo Singing and on drums, A song has been created Which, with video, becomes A wistful and nostalgic visit To those magic years When the Beatles made their music As we followed their careers. Not five minutes is required To relive an era when We were young and found the Beatles, Unaware that now was then.

I love the way you ended this with the song title. That was so cleverly done. I should look up this song!

Even a stuffed shirt like me whose only music was the classical repertoire fell for the Beatles' music – but only when played by a symphonic orchestra. Yet their lyrics to their songs registered the times. One song in particular – Yesterday – I praised as good as any lieder Schubert wrote, and for me that was saying something!!! /Maurice

Hmm rising up like a phoenix from the ashes, I've not heard it yet, and I am not sure if I'd want to watch a video now they are no longer alive - the fab for now the aged two! hugs jan xx
