JAKARTA - Olivia, widow George Harrison, shared a shocking magic' story about how the now And Then song of The Beatles' artwork emerged.

In a video posted on the late husband's official social media channel, she explains how her husband once bought a clock featuring the title of their last song.

"We are in this shop, George sees this watch made of pieces and there are several letters of kabble and it only says 'Now and Then'," he said.

She was attracted for a reason, she took it off the wall and bought it. [He] built a little Russian dacha in the park and hung a clock on it and stood there for 25 years.

He went on to say that at the end of last summer he cleaned it and put it on ariad rack.

Harrison then added: phone call. It's Paul [McCartney] and he started explaining, reminding me of the third song on the cassette with 'Real Love' and 'Free As A Bird'. I said, 'I remember, the title is 'Now and Then'. And I stood there looking at the clock.

"We are very touched and happy because the object that George is holding comes up magically. And I said, 'I think my wife said it's okay'."

The clock itself is on the back of the black plate cover for the single release.

"When we lost John [Lennon], we knew it was all over," McCartney said recently in a mini-documenter about making the song before an interesting opportunity appeared in 1994.

That's when Yoko Ono handed over the cassettes of Lennon's demo, before McCartney, Ringo Starr and Harrison entered the studio to save what they got from The Beatles and finish it.
