Last Beatles song recorded was “I, Me, Mine” I think…
Kind of ironic judging by what they were all going through at the time

Before anyone starts to ask about how John would have felt having ai used this way
I don’t really give a shit about what he would have felt

“It brought to the fore, to the three of us…” that’s some classical Beatles.

When I think about the passage of time, I often think about The Beatles and the Rolling Stones… all so well-documented in their youthful prime, seeing them today… old… but still rocking it. When Paul goes, my mom will be devastated.
When Nick & David from Floyd pass… that will devastate me as well.
William Shatner is another marker of time & life that will be crushing.
No one lives forever, so leave behind only good memories.

Indeed, the loss to the musical world alone will be devastating.

I feel like Now and Then is an absolutely remarkable Electric Light Orchestra song with John Lennon on vocals. Which isn’t a bad thing!

This is the best description I’ve encountered so far.
It’s right up there with “Adventure Time is this generation’s Yellow Submarine.”
(And yes, I’m serious … both descriptions are dead-on perfect.)

And that was just Paul, George and Ringo. John had already left the band by that point.
Honestly, I was a bit worried that this was going to be some monstrosity, but… the backstory makes for genuinely excellent use of AI 
Everyone wrote and performed their parts, and they just needed advanced processing to rescue. That’s pretty damned cool.
