The Beatles - Real Love (Anthology Version)

A really well written piece by John Lennon that came out on Beatles Anthology 2. There are a lot of videos for this particular song, but here is some other info about that might be interesting:

"Real Love" is a song written by John Lennon. "Real Love" was subsequently reworked by the three remaining members of The Beatles (Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr) in late 1995. The song was released as a Beatles single in 1996 in the United Kingdom, United States and many other countries; it was the opening track on The Beatles' Anthology 2 album. It is the last "new" credited Beatles song to originate and be included on an album.

"Real Love" was warmly received by some critics, and the single reached #4 and #11 in the UK and US singles charts respectively and earned a gold record faster than a number of the group's other singles. The song was not included on the British Broadcasting Corporation's Radio 1 playlist, prompting criticism from fans and members of the Parliament of the United Kingdom.

After the release of "Free as a Bird" and "Real Love", Starr commented, "Recording the new songs didn't feel contrived at all, it felt very natural and it was a lot of fun, but emotional too at times. But it's the end of the line, really. There's nothing more we can do as The Beatles."

Well, It's not the John Lennon Anthology version (which is my favorite), but it is the Beatles Anthology 2 version. That's why I put "The Beatles" before it. :)

Excellent song by a group I grew up with...of course there was 4 of them but somehow for me, at least, Lennon was the ultimate Beatle....don't think he was too keen on all the attention he had, as opposed to McCartney, but an awesome talent!

@Allareone2 Yes, I love the Symphonic Dances. I'll look for the Minnesota recording. But the Horenstein/Wild ('66) recordings of the four piano concertos + Rhapsody are my all time favorite music - they make me cry every single time though (Its a good cry)
