For Now

Story Behind The Song

During 7 months of recovery from a very dark episode of my life, I have learned precious things from my family, my friends and health professionals as well. I am now convinced more than ever that present, this ephemeral thing that we call 'now' is way more important than past and future.

Song Description

In a nutshell, as Horace would say, "CARPE DIEM", or 'seize the day, but seize it now!'. If no one fully lives the present moment, either because of the turbulence of regrets or the anxiety about what will come up, life just passes by without being enjoyed. It ruins it all. So I am dedicating this music to people having a mental disease, affecting them in their life. Thanks to the voice of Jason Kuhn from Nashville for bringing a special color to my song. --- En résumé, comme Horace disait d'une formule épicurienne, "CARPE DIEM", ou encore, 'cueille le jour qui passe, mais fais-le maintenant!'. Durant 7 mois après un épisode de dépression profonde, j ai pu comprendre mieux que jamais à quel point 'maintenant' est important, bien plus qu'avant ou après. Ce moment si éphémère qui est souvent gâché par les réminiscences d'un passé regretté ou par l'anxiété de ce qui n'est même pas encore vécu peut véritablement ruiner une vie entière si il n'est pas appécié pleinement. Je dédie donc cette musique à ceux qui ne peuvent pas vivre ce 'maintenant' à cause de leur santé mentale. Merci à Jason Kuhn de Nashville pour si bien chanter ce que j'ai écrit.

Lyrics

FOR NOW
(carpe diem)
-------

(verse 1)
What is 'Now'
But a short
Lapse of time ?
Flying by
Wings of change
Open wide

Where tomorrow's winds
Together rushing in
As a blessing
Or in the name of Fate
They can blow to dissipate
in Yesterday


(verse 2)
I have learned
Thru my joy and my pains
How to get my sails up
How to have them ready
In time

(chorus)
So for now
I would rather keep on sailing
For now
I just want to keep on going
Where the winds will lead me.

(verse3)
I am done
Struggling with all my regrets
I can take
Life as good as it gets
So for now I m only rooting
Not for what is left behind or forgotten
But for every moment
Each and every second
Passing by

That's why
(to chorus)

(bridge) Caus' Now's already gone
If you all leave it alone
Don't wait for it to come
Back again

That's why
(to chorus)

(ending) For Now, For Now ...
