now and then - kind of reeling over the aching sense of time and space incorporated in the song. the sound of john's voice stopped in time blended to the soft background timbre of paul's voice that now holds so much age in it. talking to each other across impossible distances. digital ghosts and haunted emotions.

MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR (1967)
Robbed of the opportunity to participate in a true final collaboration with his greatest muse, McCartney instead elevates this suggestion of a song into a realized record, one where its elegant, softly psychedelic flow lets Lennonβs longing linger in the subconscious. That regret is articulated clearly in a chorus of βNow and then, I miss you / Now and then, I want you to be there for me / Always to return to me,β words that sharpen Johnβs original intention with its second newly written clause. Itβs a passage where Lennonβs yearning for McCartney intertwines with Paulβs mourning for John, a shared grieving for the partnership that defined both their lives. In that sense, βNow and Thenβ does provide something of a fitting conclusion to the Beatlesβ recorded career β not so much a summation but as a coda that conveys a sense of what the band both achieved and lost.
Excuse me while I go cry forever at this paragraph
