Better than I thought it would be though.

Some very clever stuff gone into making that, interesting to hear it, but not a particularly good song IMHO. Labour of love or cynical money making scheme?

Sadly, I suspect the latter.

I'm not keen to be honest. To my mind its way over-produced with all those strings and synth pads.

I think it has a wistful quality, which seems appropriate. Using old recordings of John, that wouldn't have made it onto a Beatles album and giving it some 21st C treatment, is bound to be quite limited. I guess massive Beatles fans will love something new. IMO, The Beatles were the greatest pop group ever by some margin but I don't think these add to the legacy but do serve as curios for the fans.

The Beatles in their prime only did half a dozen or so songs that I liked, this does not add to the list.

Whatever about the quality of the song I still find it quite haunting to hear John's voice. And even if they do make money out of it I prefer to believe they did it for their own good reasons.

It's definitely not a dirge, but I think the video kind of makes it. Modern production sound, highly compressed, kind of sounds a little at odds with Lennon's voice.

I don't hate it, I just find it a bit 'meh' .... I was never much of a Beatles fan though, I probably only really like eight of their songs, which isn't much considering their output.
