The Beatles disbanded 50 years ago. Today you can listen to their “new” songs
10 years after the aforementioned press conference, it was already certain that the Liverpool Four would never return to recording with the original line-up. On December 8, John Lennon was killed in the gate of the Dakota apartment building in Manhattan, shot four times by Mark David Chapman. More than 50 years after The Beatles decided to disband and 40 after Lennon’s death, it turns out that the dreams of fans of the band about the new music of the rock legend can come true. But are you sure?
There is a discussion on the web whether art created by artificial intelligence is actually worth anything. Some believe that this is the next stage of technological progress that should be reconciled with, others protest. The rebellion of real and active artists is understandable not only due to the fear of competition and redefinition of art, but also due to the legal doubts raised by AI. In order for artificial intelligence to be able to create anything “on its own”, it must be “shown” the works of others, which interferes with the copyrights of artists.
However, the discussions do not affect the development of the new technology. The song “Grow Old with Me” appeared on the web, which was recorded in the demo version by John Lennon, and after a few corrections, it was released on the artist’s posthumous solo album “Milk & Honey”. Ringo Starr also performed his own version of the song, but despite permission from Yoko Ono, the living Beatles never created a joint version of the composition. The AI fixed it.
Both the song “Grow Old with Me” and Paul McCartney’s 2013 song “New” appeared on Dae Lims’ YouTube channel. Lennon’s voice was added to the song by artificial intelligence, who joins his colleague in the chorus. Fans of The Beatles in the comments do not hide their emotion. According to them, the songs sound extremely authentic. “I totally swam with the younger version of Paul’s voice and when John showed up I had goosebumps,” writes one fan.
Beatles listeners point out that they never expected that they would live to see a time when something or someone would be able to create music that would even come close to the quality of that composed by their favorites. The words “amazing”, “unbelievable” and thanks for publishing the songs were said.
