Ariel… Read Full Bio ↴Ariela Jacobs is a Pop/Indie singer from Melbourne, Australia.
Ariela Jacobs is a storyteller, whose songwriting has a way of tackling themes with the sort of intimacy you would expect from a much older soul. With haunting vocals, pure, yet powerful enough to leave any listener weak at the knees, Ariela weaves together an ethereal, dream-ridden web of folk/pop tapestries, narrative and melody.
Despite being a relative newcomer to the live circuit, Ariela has shared the stage with the likes of Dustin Tebbutt, Ella Hooper and Ngaiire and has already enjoyed radio spins from Triple J Unearthed and FBi radio for her previously released teaser track ‘False Alarms’.
If you think those soaring, falsetto vocals of Ariela’s sound oddly familiar, it’s very possible you’ve already heard them - Ariela recently stepped outside of her usual genre to lend her distinct voice to Los Angeles based producer Goldroom to sing topline vocals on his summer electro hit ‘Embrace’ which was co-written with George Maple.
Not one to limit herself to the here and now, Ariela acknowledges the fluidity of song writing, stating that her “music is always in the stages of development and there is always opportunity for growth and new ideas”

Ariela Jacobs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've forgotten how
There wasn′t any signal to guide me
Look at what we found
I woke up without cussing soldiers
Marching to a hollow beat
In the meanwhile they were fighting for history to repeat
But all we have is here and now
So please don't question that we fought through hell
We shall seek and we shall find
That all in hold here is our time
I didn't mean to go wrong searching
The storm let us no choice
All of the patients we had going
Would only learn to sacrifice
I woke up without morning calling
It′s a love shine for us
For you don′t want to see the dangers of what we planted behind
For all we have is here and now
So please don't question that we fought through hell
We shall seek and we shall find
That all in hold is your time
All we have is here and now
So please don′t question that we fought through hell
We shall seek and we shall find
That all in hold here is our time
All we have is here and now
So please don't question that we fought through hell
We shall seek and we shall find
That all in hold here is our time
I didn′t mean to go wrong searching
I thought I had no choice
The lyrics of Ariela Jacobs's song Here & Now describe the feeling of living in the present moment and appreciating the time that we have. The opening lines, "I haven't held on to so much lately, I've forgotten how. There wasn't any signal to guide me, Look at what we found" convey the idea that the singer has stopped worrying about the past or the future and is happy to be in the here and now. The following lines, "I woke up without cussing soldiers, Marching to a hollow beat. In the meanwhile, they were fighting for history to repeat" describe the singer's relief at not having to deal with conflicts and wars that have defined much of history.
The chorus emphasizes the importance of living in the present moment, "But all we have is here and now, so please don't question that we fought through hell. We shall seek and we shall find, that all in hold here is our time." The singer urges the listener to appreciate the present moment, despite any difficulties or challenges that they may have faced. The final verse, "I woke up without morning calling, It's a love shine for us, For you don't want to see the dangers of what we planted behind" suggests that the singer has found love and positivity in the present, and that dwelling on the past could be dangerous.
