I think both the music and the video of Free As A Bird had a more in depth, dreamlike quality to it, whih I found more appropriate,
the vid to Now & Then OTOH is kind of spoofy and the music would have perhaps benefited had Paul had the guts to throw in one of his trademark middle eights (as he did in Free As A Bird).
Real Love, I simply liked the melody of - though it is again very Lennon'esque, could have been a track off Double Fantasy.
Hell, it's The Beatles (or what's left of them), I don't really want to knock it. If this is wildly successful and seen as a crowning achievement of their music, then it has my blessing.
