GEORGE HARRISON and social interaction difficulties.
First at all I apoligize for my grammatical mistakes, I'm not a native speaker and surely I am not fluent. Anyway today I rewatched Elliot Roberst's video on Now and Then and guys if before with his video on Get Back while he was commenting the infamous flirting moment between John an Paul as "This moment is very revealing...just perfect" on Now and Then he mentions clearly mclennon and in the end says "They’re letting us know that someday down the long and winding road across the universe, they will return to each other.”
I love this man aside from being a very good content creator he is such a fan
In conclusion his video as taken me to another content creator of my country, and the most interesting thing is the comment
He talks about the tape of Now and Then and the idea who was written for Paul: he says "è una cosa tanto romantica" it's such a romantic thing. My mind in the moment was blowing what a coincidence but for being clear he doesn't believe it because there a no clearly proofs, Yoko could have written that for organize the tapes why John should have written for Paul he didn't know he would have died... a very rational reasoning you can agree or disagree but it's not the point of my post
Te point is that I am always more convinced that even hetero men beatles's fans secretely HOPE John and Paul were a thing
It’s so crazy that John was the gay one
Now and Then (as it should have been)
Based on this post
I drew poster of the new ‘now and then’ song. for the beatles girlies
People questioning the whole re-release of Now and then 50+ years after the Beatles broke up is missing the point. The song is a gift to us who are lucky enough to enjoy the magic of the Beatles, of course, but it was never made for us. Alexis Peditris described this perfectly in the last paragraphs of his review for the Guardian:
This is McCartney letting go. This is him saying one last proper goodbye to the people he loved the most, the music that defined his life, his past mistakes, his wrong choices, his "what-ifs", his family, alongside Starr, the only person who knew exactly what it was like and who's been on this journey with him together.
This is the end of 40 years of grieving that began when that gun was fired in front of the Dakota in 1980 and continued when Harrison left them on a bed in his house in 2001.
This is him, at 81 years old, knowing this could be his last decade singing the songs that he wrote with John and George because there in the songs there will always be a part of them with him, and finally being at peace with it.
This is him saying,
Thank you for the good memories.
Goodbye.
Me abusing the replay button during this momentous Mclennon moment.
Now and Then 😭 dropped.
And then back to back with Love Me Do - this song still makes me weak. John's harmonica is amazing! (eventhough he felt uncool with it in later years) for me you are the coolest musician ever!
Thank you The Beatles for the joy of music!
Some of my favorites pics of them for Now and Then Day.

Now and Then: The Last Beatles Song - isolating John’s voice
Crying my eyes out when I started watching the Now and Then documentary.
The video started with Come Together's opening riff, how symbolic is that?
"I am ready to sing for the world." John Lennon says, not something we heard for the first time.
But still it made me cry.
I really lost it when John's voice came through with the help of technology. Paul announcing and "then, there it was John's voice crystal clear":
and know it's true, it's all because of you. And if I make it through, it's all because of you.
And then with the additions of Paul's bass, Ringo's drums, George's guitar, violins and orchestra in beatlesque fashion, of course it's going to be amazing.
It's the last Beatles record.
How gut wrenching and beautiful. Four lads from Liverpool still conquering the world in 2023.
john lennon's lyrics for now and then (2023) // andy peebles for daily mail uk (2015) // john lennon, i'm losing you (1980) // now and then doc (2023) // wings, dear friend (1971)
John looking mischievously Paul while the pretty boy is oblivious
Jeremy just wants to escape from the creepy hug
Bonus
Paul is so happy to fly, he is too much innocent in this movie, a wild John behind him as usual
Five got into the beatles and queen and i got a lil influenced by her, so here r random doodles i did in the 5 days i let myself be obsessed. I probably wont draw them again idk!
Can we talk about Your School?
Recorded in 1984, never released (except a clip on Oobu Joobu)
We're gonna talk it out someday All that is nearest and dearest I want it, you want it, they want it too And me? I want to love you Come on baby ... what have you've got Tell me that I learned a lot in your school, your school... I never thought [it meant/I'd learn] so much I'm just a poor fool in love, your school... I never felt the gentle touch until ..... I met you Oohhh you better tell me all you know Concerning this situation oohhoohooh I'd like, you'd like it, they always do... Me? I still wanna love you
I can't help but interpret this as Paul desperately wishing for a really deep and public reconciliation with John.
Two lyrics it puts me in mind of:
I never give you my number I only give you my situation And in the middle of investigation I break down
You Never Give Me Your Money
and
You must have learned something in all those years
How Do You Sleep
It's so sweet the way the look each other and the animation is so fluid
I want a beatles mini series redrawed
They are oblivious as usual, nothing new in the west
I love this clip. george and ringo are exactly two and a half seconds away from murdering them.
