I know I should be writing a review of this magic place that saved my relationship more than once. I should be writing about the freshness and texture, TEXTURE I SAY of the sushi, the gentle yet lively atmosphere, and so forth.

But - I feel the urge to talk about "Now and Then", a song by The Beatles. Henceforth, here we go:

Lennon wrote "Now and Then" in the late 1970s. He recorded the unfinished piece of music sometime in 1977 as a demo at his home at The Dakota in New York City. The lyrics are typical of the apologetic love songs that Lennon wrote in the latter half of his career. For the most part the verses are nearly complete, though there are still a few lines that Lennon did not flesh out on the demo tape performance. Writing for the Los Angeles Times, Stephen Thomas Erlewine called Lennon's composition "a wispy, melancholy ballad."

In January 1994, Paul McCartney was given two cassette tapes by Lennon's widow, Yoko Ono, which included home recordings of songs which Lennon had never completed or released commercially. The songs on one of the tapes included the eventually completed and released "Free as a Bird" and "Real Love". The two other songs on the other tape were "Grow Old with Me" and "Now and Then", included on a cassette tape which Ono had mentioned to George Harrison and gave to McCartney in 1994, the year Lennon was posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
