The story behind the song

"Real Love" originated from demos by John Lennon, who recorded several takes in 1979 and 1980, merging elements of a different song called "Real Life" into it. Years later, his former bandmates Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr completed one of these takes for The Beatles Anthology project in 1995. It was released as a Beatles single in 1996 and opened their Anthology 2 album. The song carries the weight of connection, a search for genuine affection that resonates through its history.
