Harmonix has revealed the final song for The Beatles: Rock Band, and though it might not be the one you were expecting or hoping for, it certainly is a fitting tune for “The End” of the game.
Mystery solved: the final, 45th song in The Beatles: Rock Band that MTV and Harmonix have been keeping super secret over the past couple weeks is not “Hey Jude” or “Let It Be,” as some of you may have been hoping. Instead, it’s a tune that should do well as a capstone for the end of the game, because, it is, literally, “The End.”
The two-minute track was already confirmed for the game as part of the Abbey Road DLC album, but had made no appearance on the tracklist proper. Well, it might not have the raucous ceremony of “Hey Jude,” but it should definitely be a unique treat in the game. “The End” features each member of the band doing a solo, which no doubt will make it into the game version, so yes, drummers you will get a Ringo solo. Of course we can’t forget the song also ends with one of Paul McCartney’s most memorable lines: “And in the end, the love you take / Is equal to the love you make.”
So then, that means the final songlist would go something like this:
- Twist And Shout / Cavern Club
- Do You Want To Know A Secret / Cavern Club
- Can’t Buy Me Love / Ed Sullivan Theater
- I Wanna Be Your Man / Ed Sullivan Theater
- Eight Days A Week / Shea Stadium
