All You Need Is Now
Duran Duran Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Find yourself in the moment
Go directly to the voodoo
Now the channel is open
Lose your head
Lose control
You come on delicate and fine
Like a diamond in the mine
Oh whoa, yeah
When you move into the light
You're the greatest thing alive
Oh whoa
And you sway in the moon
The way you did
When you were younger
When we told everybody
All you need is now
Stay with the music let it
Play a little longer longer
You don't need anybody
All you need is now
Everybody's gunning
For the VIP section
But your better up and running
In another direction
With your bones in the thrall
Throw a shadow on the vine
Bat your lashes let it shine
Oh whoa, yeah
Every moment that arrives
You're the greatest thing alive
Oh whoa
And you sway in the moon
The way you did
When you were younger
And we told everybody
All you need is now
Stay with the music let it
Play a little longer longer
You don't need anybody
All you need is now
All you need, all you need is now
All you need, all you need is now
All you need, all you need is now
And we will sway in the moon
The way we did
When we were younger
(When we were younger)
When we told everybody
All you need is now
Stay with the music let it
Play a little longer
(A little longer)
We don't need anybody
All you need is now
Oh whoa
All you need, all you need is now
Oh whoa
All you need, all you need is now
Oh whoa
All you need, all you need is now
Oh whoa
All you need, all you need is now

This song has one of the best chorus in DD history. Love it.
Kyach Distent
Like so many of them. There's always at least half a dozen every album or a B-side here and a shelved demo there.
Lance S
Absolutely!!!
Pol Thomas KEELEY
Class tune. What a chorus. Totally underrated too in my honest opinion.
Oh well, keep on rocking Duran Duran.
Joseph Jefferson
Yep.
RadioLaPrincess
This album should have been nominated for a best alternative album Grammy.
Ian Pearson
block time for the troll.
Kyach Distent
@Ian Pearson I don't see how that has any less baring on the actual truth of that matter, dear. Just cos I don't parrot "Rio"s' the best like all the other sheep...
Ian Pearson
@Kyach Distent this is your personal opinion only.
Kyach Distent
@Ian Pearson No 'probably'. It's a career-best classic from the word go. I love how not only does reference the whole of their 80s journey with today's spin and lyrics but it is even BETTER than all those very albums, bar the wonderful "Notorious", but that's cos it's equally perfect, career-best wonderful. BOTH better than "Rio", get that!
