Free As A Bird
The story behind the song
"Free As A Bird" began as a home demo by John Lennon in 1977. Years later, his surviving bandmates, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr, decided to record new music, agreeing that the only other person who could be in the band was John. Paul asked Yoko Ono for unreleased material, and she provided cassette tapes of Lennon's incomplete songs. The band then added instrumentation, vocals, and arrangements to this demo. The song embodies a sense of longing and freedom, a musical reunion that transcends time.
