This video is about the Beatles’ ‘final’ song, Now and Then, which was released on 2 November 2023. The video considers the origins of the song, John Lennon’s original home recording from 1977, the Beatles final version, the song's place in the band’s output, and its role as a cultural document. Matthew King reflects on the Beatles’ achievement and considers how the song fits into the story of a band who were once at the cutting edge of innovation and cultural change, and are now icons of a lost world.
In the second half of the video Matthew improvises on the first phrase of the song in the styles of Beethoven, Bach, Mozart, Chopin, Liszt and Ravel.
