Song Meaning of “Now and Then” by The Well Wishers
Now and Then by The Well Wishers is an uplifting exploration of the complex emotion of nostalgia. Singing of past memories and how they shape our present, the song reflects on the bittersweet nature of nostalgia; the longing for and comfort in the past, but the implications of its eventual passing. The narrator expresses that they keep a piece of the past alive within their own emotions, even though it has gone, and try to stay in the present, although it may not be easy to do so. The piece is finished with a sentiment that although the past may be gone, its memories still hold a lasting power and wield influence over our emotions now and then.
