My reaction to the song 'Now and Then' [Patreon Exclusive!]

I have just released a video on Youtube which is a thorough analysis and my curated thoughts on the new Beatles song 'Now and Then.'
But as a treat, I thought I'd upload my initial reaction to the song exclusively for Discord Access Patrons and above! As I say in the Youtube video, I don't think I'd make it as a react channel because I kinda just sat there smiling the whole time (pretty boring response!), but maybe you'll find something to appreciate about it.
I also figured, due to copyright issues, I'd let this video be my first video uploaded natively to Patreon!
Enjoy :)

Honestly I began tearing up listening to the song. There's something so bittersweet about the difference between Lennon and McCartney's vocals. You can hear the years in Paul's voice. He doesn't sound like he did when The Beatles were together, but that's okay. Meanwhile, Lennon's vocals are eternally youthful, but heartbreaking when you remember that he was robbed of the chance to grow old. I'm sure Yoko was likely part of the inspiration for the lyrics of the song, but what I would give to have been in the room with Lennon as he was writing Now and Then, just for the chance to ask, "Do you miss them? (George, Paul, and Ringo) Are they also on your mind as you sing the lyrics? Do you wish you could tell them you love them?"

I noticed how you kinda popped up when the George Tribute Solo swell in. That slide guitar part is so unforgettable for me.
