The new Beatles song sucks

[idfklma]

Now and Then has been hyped up as the last Beatles song and after having listened to it i dont think it should have been released. Its a mid song. Its boring. Its nothing special. There are very few interesting parts in it.

It started as a demo by John Lennon, only him and the paino, and it sounds ok, but there's a reason why he never released it - because it never went anywhere, he had a bit of it, but no chorus, no bridge, nothing special at all, just a mid little quiet sombre piano song, and thats why John abandoned it.

Now 50 years later Paul adds a chorus to it and a string ending, and it sucks, he released it for sentimental value - "Now and Then" to remember the glory days, and to add to the Beatles legacy - releasing a song that was originally a demo posthumously decades after the demo was made.

Unfortunately, i think this is a bit of a blemish on the Beatles instead of what Paul intended - its just not a good song. The Beatles ended off perfectly with Let it Be, a great album, The End was a good ending song, there should have been nothing after that.

Now Paul releases this mid composition decades later to try to relive his hayday a bit. If it were back then the Beatles would have never have released it as its just not up to the Beatles standard at all. Very mid song. Unfortunate that Paul insisted on releasing it. Its not a good song, and it does not do any service to the great legacy that is The Beatles.

By the way, John's version had a chorus and a pre-chorus. At least know what the fuck you're talking about if you're going to be a whiny little bitch.

Just take the L bro you dont have to fight it just take it

Humorous.

No, he isn't and thus it isn't a 'Beatles' song, no matter what Paul McShartney and Dingo says. And furthermore, the groundwork is built upon a Lennon song. Probably something he made with Gooko Hoeno. It's tantamount to taking a song like 'imagine' and adding fluffery (random bass and drum patches) to it and proclaiming it as a band vision and effort. It's simply bullshit and Paul McShartney has no shame.

I thought the song was alright, 'GOOD' even (pop music has set the bar low). But again, I had my hopes incredibly low to begin with. I went in expecting to taste a heaping pile of festering shit but got a taste of an unripened fruit that is edible, yes, but bland and has a infinitesimal tinge of something sweet, the shadow of what could have been. Only if Paul McKikeny didn't drudge out this demos derelict husk and fill it with his nigger bullshit; i could see it being a pretty good song.

Someone needs to take ol' grandpa outback and boot his ass to the nursing home.

There, he will create these "new Beatle songs" and play them to the octogenarians, so he can live in this fantasy world that he so desperately wants to materialize.

yea had potential, but if Lennon abandoned it then it was abandoned, and Paul obviously was not able to make anything out of it

"Oh yeah, grandpa McKikney! You're so back, creating these creative decade-defying songs like you were with Lennon, better even! You're so young, virile, and overwought with new ideas, you really aren't a washed up doddering sod, gramps! Woooohoooo! Keep on doing what you're doing, gramps! Now get going now, the geriatrics are waiting to hear your newfound brilliance in the other room!"

If his kids and grandkids did this and put the shakles on him and confined him there, in the nursing home, with the old beatlemania cock suckers, the Beatles legacy would be a lot more intact. And actual fans would be much more thankful.

For me, it's Magical Mystery Tour and Sgt Peppers. However, this is subject to change.

 

[Zetta]

FUCK PAUL MCCARTNEY [1]

 

[IceMan2000]

At least the release made me revisit their other songs.

 

[idfklma]

He might as well be.

y u say so

Harrison worked on and arranged the song back when he was alive, but the technology wasn't available to make it work (namely the tech to isolate John's voice). But idk how much of his work was included.

Poor Harrison, he's not represented in it is he?

It's not that deep, poopcel

 

[Mainländer]

I agree, it does.

The Beatles as a real band (all working together) ended in 1967. After Epstein's death, all went to shit and all members were already on their solo careers in practice (bar Ringo, who couldn't really write songs).

If you listen to the songs from the White Album on, everything sounds a lot like the songs you find in the first solo albums from the ex-Beatles.

I think they got sick of working so hard like they did for masterpieces like Sgt. Peppers, Revolver and Rubber Soul, so they started caring way less and writting unpolished and sometimes even unfinished cliché blues-esque songs, some of which are ok but don't come close to stuff like "Strawberry Fields" or "With a Little Help from my Friends".

Another factor is George Martin stopping working with the band towards the end of it. All evidences seem to point to the fact he was in fact the fifth Beatle and contributed massively to the songs of the heyday of the band.
