The Beatles Anthology project was a huge undertaking and to complement the historical and archival material that was made available both on CD and on video, the band recorded two new tracks. Released in December 1995, ‘Free As A Bird’ was the first of the new songs. Instead of recording a completely new composition together, Paul, George and Ringo created a track based on John’s 1977 demo, recorded at his and Yoko’s home in the Dakota in New York City.

Jeff Lynne, a good friend of George Harrison’s and a fellow member of the Travelling Wilburys, was drafted in to help with production. The ‘Free As A Bird’ video had it’s first public outing on America’s ABC TV on Sunday November 19th 1995, and the track was subsequently aired on BBC Radio 1 the day after – the day before Anthology came out. The single release followed two weeks later and made No.2 on the UK charts, while in the US ‘Free As A Bird’ enjoyed an 11-week run on the best-seller list, peaking at No.5.

Joe Pytka, a talented American filmmaker who had made several music videos with Michael Jackson, directed the beautiful video. The visual concept was a ‘bird’s-eye-view’ of countless Beatles songs.

At secondary school in the 90s, we used to sing this as 'free as a turd'. Yes, we were immature.

A heartbreaking tease as to what could have been. What I wouldn't give to have John and George still with us today. I firmly believe had John not been killed, this incredible groundbreaking band would've settled their differences and reunited.

Did any one else notice that they changed George’s line to “the love we once knew”....also that they reversed the backwards message that John says at the end? Any one know why?

This song is by John Lennon. Wiki: "Free as a Bird" is a song originally composed and recorded in 1977 as a home demo by John Lennon.
