I've been a Beatles fan since about ten years old and here I am in my 70's listening to their final release.
Couple of days ago I had three granddaughters in my car aged 5 6 and 13 and they asked... can we sing Hey Jude?
So I put it on.
Windows open everytime we came to a built up area top of their voices!
5 year olds favourite is Blackbird 6 year old seems to like them all as does the 13 year old.
They did a project on The Beatles in the 6 year olds class without any warning and of course she was in her element!
The teacher and class assistant were gob smaked and asked how she knew all these songs and about where they came from.
She said we all sing these songs in grandads car and we go to Liverpool now and then.
She was the star of the show that day and later got kids in the playground singing Help!
Just heard it, oh loved it. Took me back all those years to how they played back then, when their music was and still is the best ever! Felt a bit sad tbh, hearing John Lennon and their playing, so typical of these great musicians! Took yrs to put together. Well worth waiting for.
I have to say the video is very good, so nostalgic and very clever. I thought George Harrison was very talented as a songwriter.
All the greats are dropping off one by one. Nobody to replace them.
I'm so glad I grew up in the decades that I did, listening to the likes of Bolan, Bowie, George Michael, Kate Bush. Even punk was a good time. All we seem to have now is big fat twerking birds and auto tune.
I wonder if 'Now and Then'' will have the same impact as the brilliant remastered 'Free as a bird'?
Free as a bird made No 2 in the UK charts.
"Free as a Bird" is a single released in December 1995 by English rock band the Beatles. The song was originally written and recorded in 1977 as a home demo by John Lennon. In 1995, 25 years after their break-up and 15 years after Lennon's murder, his then surviving bandmates Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr released a studio version incorporating the demo."
