The Beatles - Now And Then - 1964 Version BEFORE I added A.I.

My "What If The Beatles recorded Now And Then in 1964" video ( • Video ), had a lot of people asking what was real, and what was A.I., so a few days ago, I released a full "Making Of" video ( • How I made the 1964 BE... ) breaking down my process. In that video, I had a small clip of a "before and after" of my recorded version untouched by A.I., and then after I ran my vocals through the John and Paul models. I figured I'd expand on that with a full video so you could hear the entire song as it was recorded, before I added any A.I. to the equation.
As you'll hear in the video, my voice doesn't have the same exact tone as John or Paul, but the A.I. follows exactly how I sang it, and all of the instrumentation was recorded by real human hands...of course that's exactly what a robot would say!
Anyway, hope you enjoy another glimpse at how I made my little "Now And Then" experiment. I have some more Beatles A.I. fun I've been working on, so please subscribe and click notifications if you'd be interested in checking those out!

As a 71 year old from day one Beatle FAN i truly adore this version of Now&Then WHILE realizing its not the same & can't BE the same. The true track embraces the ghosts beyond the graves of two members & we revere it as such. In the Beatles version Johns voice aches so beautifully with the FACT of not only...what happened...to the greatest pop band of all time, but also what has become of the world...without them. John did NOT make it through then & we are left to ponder what he would have to say about...now. In contrast, in his expertise & historic attention to authenticity & detail, Timmy Sean has given back to The Last Beatles Song Ever the JOY & EMPATHY we felt while hearing each & every Beatles song in their own time. This Version reminds us WHY we loved them SO much in the first place.

[@SilverHammer1969]

I love you dude. Incredible.

[@RussOasis]

What if Paul and Ringo took you on a tour and gave your mic and processing John's AI. It would be the closest thing to the actual Beatles that could ever be. Further to that, Timmy, you have shown yourself to be a producer in the league with George Martin. Thank you for making this song (which is clearly a Beatles song) an even better version of the original without losing anything. Great, Great Job!!!

[@MarceloDurham]

Man I'm fallow musician from London and a Beatles maniac, .. you made me like this song so much more. My most sincere thank you! #mfilesband

[@steve757]

Oh great now you've done it. Just when I like the AI version, I hear this version. There's so many versions out, but you're too versions that capture the 1964 vibe are my favorites. I can't believe how talented you are. I'm a keyboard player singer-songwriter. I'm truly impressed. I've love the Beatles all my life and I'm 66 years old. You have an authentic and emotional grasp of what the Beatles feel was like back then. Especially impressive for someone your age. That's supposed to be a compliment! Thank you so much for creating these wonderful versions.

[@TonyRodriguez-mx4tw]

Ummm, this is THE version, hands down. You did a great job. ❤Thank you!

[@howardking2860]

It would be great if Paul and Ringo acknowledged your genius. Well done, love it

[@Mike-0201]

This is the direction Paul and Ringo should have taken this. As a huge Beatles fan I have been bummed that Free As A Bird, Real Love and now, Now and Then are so slow and bumming. They need something more up beat like they did as a band back in the day. This version does it!! Great job!!! Thank You!!

[@smashaddamsofficial]

Dude. I LOVE what you did with this song. I listen to the '64 version you did every day, it seems. I think this arrangement should rightfully shut up any 'naysayers' regarding the Lennon song itself. I love The Beatles' new single and your version took it a whole step further, IMO. I def caught all the 'callbacks' to the classic tunes. "Anytime At All" has always been a particular fave of mine. Bloody well done! Cheers.

[@CCCarter-v2q]

We gotta share this wherever we can and get him a ton of "Likes ". I shared it in my group on FB a few minutes ago , and suggested to all members to listen to this because it's soooo fantastic-Timmy, hopefully they'll all, or most, will support you and your music.

[@GetStrumming]

This is an astoundingly great piece of work! You’ve got just about every single musical trope from the Beatles 63-64 period! Those octave notes on the piano double up with 12-string like Anytime At All’ and the ‘And I Love Her’ woodblock! Absolutely love it! Subscribed!😊👍🏻👏👏

Absolutely'FAB'. You know you’ve created the ultimate Beatles ear-worm, right? I can’t go more than a few hours without humming, singing, playing in my head…aargh it’s so good! I know what it takes to do this. I have all of the Beatles guitars and I’ve spent a year dissecting, learning and recording Harrison tracks for a tribute show. It took 4 months to learn his slide style lol. We need more info about you, where can we see you play, what projects are you working on? Plz.

[@marcstewartmusic3634]

Absolutely love your version! Wanted to do a cover with band so came to listen again but Universal took it down. I guess its understandable, but when something is done with love and respect, you'd hope for some nuance. I bet Paul and Ringo would approve! Happy to find the non-A.I. version here. Way to go TimmySean!

[@Luschan]

I’m glad you posted the unaltered version, because it should be acknowledged that this is just an excellent cover on its own outside of the “what if” experiment.

[@fredgrosvenormusic]

You are amazing, Timmy. AI plays an important part, but it never would have been possible without your multi-instrument abilities, your almost-Beatles vocals and your ability to reflect the essence of the Beatles in 1964 very accurately. I look forward to more.

I like hearing a different version, slow/fast, of this song. I like it! 👍

[@brendanwalsh108]

I can almost hear George Martin saying "It's great John, but it needs pepping up". Ringo would have got his bongos out and George would have reached for his 12-string and it would have sat nicely on A Hard Day's Night. Did you consider adding "I don't want to lose you"? which I think is a shame that it isn't in the official release. Brilliant, thank you.
