YouTuber Reimagines Beatles’ “Now And Then” as If Recorded in 1964

The release of “Now And Then”, the Beatles’ final song, in 2023, sparked a wave of fan-made reinterpretations. Among the most intriguing experiments comes from YouTuber and musician Timmy Sean, who envisioned how the track might have sounded if the Beatles had recorded all instruments back in 1964.

The result is striking. Timmy’s version follows the style of the “A Hard Day’s Night” album, featuring piano, vocal harmonies, tambourines, and the classic cowbell—a hallmark of Ringo Starr’s drumming on tracks like “You Can’t Do That.”

According to Timmy, the track became a fusion of “Any Time At All” and an accelerated “No Reply.” In his video description, he explains that he created two versions: one using his own voice doubled to simulate John Lennon and Paul McCartney, and another leveraging artificial intelligence to adjust the vocal timbre closer to the original Beatles’ sound.

Beyond “Now And Then,” Timmy also experimented with other songs, including a 1967-style version of “Real Love.” This rendition embraces the psychedelic textures of the era while employing AI to recreate vocals and instrumentation.

Ultimately, Timmy Sean’s work is a creative dive into Beatles history, offering a fascinating glimpse of how the band might have reinterpreted their own songs with the distinctive 1960s touch.
