New Beatles Song Is Sure Inspiring A Lot Of Oasis References
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
The Beatles’ final song, which they released Thursday, is bringing back lots of musical memories ― but not necessarily of the Fab Four.
Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr cribbed together “Now and Then” using an unreleased John Lennon song and unused guitar parts by George Harrison.
However, the new song seems to remind many people on social media of the ’90s British band Oasis, not the Beatles.
Part of fans’ response was cheeky commentary, since Oasis hits like “Wonderwall” and “Champagne Supernova” were considered to be inspired by the Beatles.
Very inspired.
So naturally people on X, formerly known as Twitter, had thoughts.
Is it me or does Now & Then sound like Stop Crying Your Heart out by Oasis?

Just heard the new #Beatles song. Sounds like an Oasis rip-off if you ask me.

Instant thoughts on the new Beatles song. Liked it. Enjoyed Ringo’s drumming. John’s voice maybe TOO clear. Sounded a little like Oasis doing the Beatles near the end. Yeah, a lot better than it might have been. Happy and kind of relieved! #Beatles

It’s so biblical that @thebeatles final single “now and then” is released on the same day that @oasis album “the masterplan” celebrates its 25th anniversary 😭

I listened to the new Beatles song and then Spotify decided to play Oasis once I was done. 😂😭

One person who didn’t really make Oasis references about “Now and Then” was Liam Gallagher, the band’s lead singer.
He praised the new Beatles song on social media, calling it “incredible, celestial, heartbreaking and heartwarming all at the same time” in one tweet, before admitting his bias in another post.
“The Beatles could shit in my hand bag I’d still hide my polo mints in there,” Gallagher admitted.
Now n Then absolutely incredible biblical celestial heartbreaking and heartwarming all at the same time long live The Beatles LG x
