Now And Then – The Last Beatles Song official trailer<\/h3>\n

Tomorrow at 2pm GMT, the final song by The Beatles will be released worldwide.<\/p>\n

Now and Then was written and recorded as a demo by John Lennon on tape in his New York City apartment before his death in 1980.<\/p>\n

During the 1990s, the three surviving Beatles attempted to complete it as a song by the whole band.<\/p>\n

However, it proved particularly difficult as Lennon was hidden away on the tape recovered by Yoko Ono.<\/p>\n

In Peter Jackson\u2019s accompanying mini-documentary, which debuts this evening, Sir Paul McCartney said: \u201cOn John\u2019s demo tape the piano was a little hard to hear. And in those days of course, we didn\u2019t have the technology to do the separation.\u201d<\/p>\n

McCartney continued: \u201cEvery time I wanted a little bit more of John\u2019s voice this piano came through and clouded the picture. I think we kind of ran out of steam a bit and time and it was like, \u201cWell I don\u2019t know, maybe we\u2019ll leave this one.\u201d<\/p>\n

Unlike other rediscovered Lennon tracks Free as a Bird and Real Love, Now and Then ended up languishing in a cupboard.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Macca added: \u201cAnd then in 2001 we lost George, which kind of took the wind out of our sails. It took almost a quarter of a century for us to wait until the right moment to tackle Now and Then again.”<\/p>\n

Thanks to the modern technology that Peter Jackson and his team used in The Beatles: Get Back documentary, in which they were able to separate instruments from voices,\u00a0 Lennon\u2019s vocals and his piano could be too, leading to an emotional moment during the sessions.<\/p>\n
