It started as a demo recorded by John Lennon in his New York apartment before his death and has now come together with new contributions from Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, and the late George Harrison.
"There's this impression that my dad stopped doing music for a while to raise me, which I think is partially true in terms of him not touring and not fulfilling any major record label obligations," Ono Lennon says in the documentary. "Every time we wanted a little more of John's voice, this piano came through and clouded the picture," he says.After Peter Jackson employed his MAL software for the 2021 documentary Get Back, McCartney asked him to try and separate Lennon's vocal and piano. It was a success.McCartney got the ball rolling, George Harrison was the final piece
"I thought, 'What I'd like to do is do a slide guitar solo in George's style'. It was really a tribute to George." Hopefully the news that they are appearing on a song by The Beatles is reason enough for those musicians to forgive such dishonesty.We weren't exactly expecting the remaining Beatles to say John Lennon would have turned his nose up at the idea of a posthumous release. McCartney and Ringo offer some interesting justification for the song's release.
