McCartney, Starr, Sean Lennon, and Dhani Harrison expressed their excitement about sharing this lost gem with the world.
In a thrilling development for Beatles fans worldwide, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr have reunited with John Lennon’s son, Sean Lennon, and George Harrison’s son, Dhani Harrison, to announce the release of a previously unheard Beatles song. The track, titled “Echoes in the Attic,” was recorded during the sessions for the Beatles’ iconic White Album in 1968 but remained unfinished and unheard—until now.
The discovery of the song’s original demo was made in the Lennon estate’s archives, offering a rare glimpse into a lost piece of Beatles history. The demo features John Lennon on vocals and guitar, but it was left incomplete, never reaching the public ear. This remarkable find has sparked excitement among Beatles enthusiasts and music historians alike.
To bring “Echoes in the Attic” to life, McCartney and Starr, who were both integral to the original Beatles recordings, have re-recorded their parts. Joining them in this nostalgic endeavor are Sean Lennon and Dhani Harrison, each adding their unique touch to the track. Sean Lennon has contributed new vocals and guitar work, while Dhani Harrison has added his signature slide guitar, blending the old with the new in a way that honors both his father’s legacy and the timelessness of the Beatles’ sound.
The result is a hauntingly beautiful track that merges the classic Beatles’ essence with contemporary elements. The production retains the spirit of the 1960s while incorporating modern nuances, showcasing how the band’s influence continues to resonate through the generations.
“Echoes in the Attic” will be released as a single on October 9th, coinciding with what would have been John Lennon’s 84th birthday. This release date is particularly poignant, serving as a tribute to Lennon’s enduring impact on music and culture. To commemorate this special occasion, all proceeds from the single will benefit the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts (LIPA), a charity close to the Beatles’ hearts. LIPA, which was co-founded by Paul McCartney, supports aspiring artists and helps nurture new talent, aligning perfectly with the Beatles’ legacy of fostering creativity.
In a joint statement, McCartney, Starr, Sean Lennon, and Dhani Harrison expressed their excitement about sharing this lost gem with the world. “We’re thrilled to share this lost treasure with the world,” they said. “It’s a testament to the Beatles’ innovative spirit and the timeless power of their music. We hope that ‘Echoes in the Attic’ will offer fans a new perspective on the band’s creative journey and evoke the same joy and wonder that their music has always provided.”
The announcement has sent waves of excitement through the music community. Fans and critics are eagerly anticipating the release, intrigued by the blend of historical significance and contemporary artistry that “Echoes in the Attic” promises. The collaboration of the surviving Beatles with the next generation of the Lennon and Harrison families further enriches the song’s legacy, connecting the past with the present in a meaningful way.
The release of “Echoes in the Attic” is more than just a musical event; it is a celebration of the Beatles’ enduring influence and a reminder of the band’s incredible legacy. As McCartney, Starr, Lennon, and Harrison come together to share this previously lost piece of Beatles history, the track stands as a testament to the timeless appeal of their music and the deep connections that continue to bind their legacy.
