“Now and Then” is a song that was originally recorded as a demo by John Lennon during the sessions for the Beatles’ “White Album” in 1968.
However, the song was never officially released by the band. It was later considered for inclusion in the “Anthology 3” compilation in the 1990s, but did not make it into the final cut. The demo features John Lennon on vocals and acoustic guitar. The lyrics reflect a thoughtful and introspective mood and are often described as haunting and beautiful compositions.
Despite its initial exclusion from official releases, “Now and Then” has achieved a certain popularity among Beatles fans. It’s important to note that “Now and Then” should not be confused with another Beatles song titled “Now and Then,” which was recorded during the “Let It Be” sessions. This second “Now and Then” is a different composition and was finally released in 1996 as part of the “Anthology 3” album.
