A surprise today. I’m listening to the radio after school in the car and they started talking about a new Beatles song.

What?

Apparently there was a song that was sung by John Lennon that the surviving Beatles have been working on for forty years. The recording was Lennon playing piano and singing with a TV playing in the background. With the tech, they were able to remove the TV sound and make a great new song.

I purchased it on iTunes and listened to it immediately, and I will say that I really loved it. I had some feelings, some emotions that I did not expect. The fact that both John and George Harrison are gone now was a part of that feeling. I felt as if I could cry.

I was not that much of a fan of the song “Free as a Bird” that the group put out several years ago in the same manner, post John Lennon’s death. It just did not have the same feel. Now and Then, that one had something.

Apparently a video is out tomorrow and there is a making-of short film available somewhere too. The Beatles are one of my favorite bands of all-time and the fascination with them continues to this day.
