Upon its release, “Free As A Bird” received positive reviews and achieved commercial success, reaching high chart positions in several countries. The song was accompanied by a music video that incorporated archival footage of The Beatles and blended it with new material.
For fans of The Beatles, “Free As A Bird” holds a special place as a poignant and nostalgic reunion of the band’s members. It serves as a reminder of their enduring musical legacy and provides a glimpse into what might have been had Lennon been alive to collaborate on new material.
Free As A Bird is a significant addition to The Beatles’ catalog and stands as a testament to their enduring impact on popular music.
