"Real Love" somehow sounds even worse in the remix. The vocal sounds clearer, but also sounds like it's been autotuned to the point of sounding like a Speak 'n' Spell, and the clarity also means you now get an unfortunate effect from the McCartney ghost lead doubling Lennon's to strengthen it.

I think this part of this movie was filmed in Bay Shore, Long Island, not far from where I grew up. I remember that the characters turned a corner at some point, and ended up somewhere that didn’t jive with reality 😇

Funny thing, even though "Free as a Bird" and "Real Love" came out thirty years ago I've never thought of them as "proper Beatles records" like the sixties ones. When "Now and Then" came out two years ago I assumed I'd feel the same about that. But no, it's a Beatles record, plain and simple.

“A bit more of you …”
Was the ultimate sarcastic put down when I was at school. Often contracted to “you” & delivered with a tilt the head.
Unrelated to this snippet, but then again it’s all connected.

Because we took a long, long, long time recording it, our episode on Concert for George, guest starring @stevenc63.bsky.social, is in two parts, and part 2 is out on Monday! We'll talk about the standout performances, and in particular Paul and Ringo's contributions.

Bob Dylan seemingly has been spinning late-period Van Morrison albums on the tour bus this year
Two songs now performed from 2016's Keep Me Singing:
* Going Down to Bangor (last night)
* Share Your Love with Me
Plus one that was on 2017's Roll with the Punches:
* I Can Tell
