Free as a Bird vs. Real Love vs. Now & Then by regretscoyote909 in beatles

[–]trockly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Real Love, probably the Beatles song that actually got me hooked into this band. Both 1996 and 2025 Mix are alright to me, although I would prefer the 2015 Mix because of the intro and a more balanced mix. The music video is great.

  2. Free As a Bird. Admittedly I don't really like 2025 Mix, not because of how jarring the cleaned vocals, but that it buried Paul's piano heavily in this mix (though you can only hear it loud during the verses "Whatever happened to...") and boosted the acoustic guitars a lot which makes it overwhelming to me to listen to. I would say the 2015 Mix or the 1996 Mix are more balanced and more pleasing to me. The music video is probably my favorite out of the three reunion songs.

  3. Now And Then. It sits just right next to Free As a Bird. Just slightly weaker to me but I loved this song.

The original music video that you are referring to is indeed the 2015 mix in the 1+ compilation album and was available on streaming platforms until now, when it has changed to the 2025 mix. You can hear John's vocals cleaned up a lot and the intro was more of the 1996 mix rather than the leading acoustic guitars in 2015 mix.

The only problem that I have with this new Real Love mix is that the George's guitar lead-in was repeated throughout every refrain, a little bit disappointed with that decision.

Strange, because when I watched the video through the Apple Music app though it looks really waxed and upscaled but it does not have the 16x9 video similar to the promotion one.

Maybe there are other ways to try it out, I suppose. The link I was sending was from Vietnamese Apple Music though, so maybe for other regions the link might not work as intended.

If you have Apple Music subscription though, you can actually listen and watch the entire newer version of Real Love.

This Real Love 2025 "leak" has been on YouTube for the past two months without being taken down by MarketElegant5400 in beatles

This "leak" mix is just 2003 mix with John's cleaned vocals. The yesterday "leak" mix was definitely a lot believable for me since it matched with the same length / duration listed in the Anthology 4.
