I Want You Now

Depeche Mode

I want you now, tomorrow won't do
There's a yearning inside and it's showing through
Reach out your hands and accept my love
We've waited for too long, enough is enough
I want you now

My heart is aching, my body is burning
My hands are shaking, my head is turning
You understand it's so easy to choose
We've got time to kill, we've got nothing to lose
I want you now

And I don't mean to sound like one of the boys
That's not what I'm trying to do
I don't want to be like one of the boys
I just want you now

'Cause I've got a love, a love that won't wait
A love that is growing and it's getting late
Do you know what it means to be left this way?
When everyone's gone, the feelings they stay
I want you now

В докладах рассматривается эволюция ядерных арсеналов
и социально-психологические проблемы гонки вооружений
В докладах рассматривается эволюция ядерных арсеналов

Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
