Here and Now
D.R.C. Lyrics

In D.R.C.'s song "Here and Now," the lyrics speak of a nostalgic memory of the past, particularly of a summer romance that the singer cannot forget. The chorus highlights the things that the singer cannot forget, "you, summer, and my blue jeans." The lyrics describe a scene where the singer and the person they cannot forget are driving through the city on a summer night, stopping by a convenience store to buy jellybeans. The moment is filled with the scent of cool mint and the strong feeling of nostalgia.

The verses describe the singer's frustration with trying to communicate with the person they cannot forget. The singer accuses themselves of pretending to be skilled at conversation and holding back emotions, which only leads to misunderstandings. The song speaks of the complexity of holding onto feelings for someone who is no longer in one's life and never having the chance to say what they truly feel. The refrain of holding tightly onto someone even if it seems impossible to hold onto them, adds to the melancholic and wistful ambiance of the song.

Overall, "Here And Now" is a gentle reminder that some experiences are permanent, even if they are only meant to exist in our memories, and that longing for the past can be bittersweet.
