Merriwether used to record things as Ryder, but decided a few years back it was good to simultaneously drop the name-sharing with some sort of classic rock act and to ditch his reliance on sampled beats. Lately, he's been recording a series of covers of popular songs without actually listening to the songs first. You can find them over at http://covers.chucklehound.com/ if you're interested.

He also used to be a member of Formerly Known as Oedipusaurus Rex, Frubulous Snacktime, Bosse-de-Nage, Kill Yr. Hi-Fi, and probably a few other bands he's forgotten about that never got around to actually performing or recording anything.

Need You Now
F. S. Merriwether Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

If you change
Change your mind
If you think it's worth it
Just call me
You'll find me - I need you.
If you get mistreated
If your heart is bleeding
I still want you so bad - I need you.

I tell you words
That no one will hear
Make a diamond out of tears
Believe me.
Forget it all it will break your heart
Come to me and trust in me
Baby
You will never find a love like mine.
I need you
I need you
If you think it's worth it
Day and niqht I'll be there - I need you.
If you get mistreated
If your heart is bleeding
. . .
You'll never find a love like mine.
I need you

If you think it's worth it

I need you
I need you
If you think it's worth it

If you get mistreated
If your heart is bleeding

Overall Meaning

In F. S. Merriwether's song "Need You Now," the lyrics speak to the singer's intense desire for the person they are addressing. The chorus repeats the phrase "I need you," solidifying the message of the song. If the person they are addressing changes their mind or is mistreated, the singer wants to be there for them. They promise to listen to words that no one else will hear and to make a "diamond out of tears." The lyrics suggest that trust is essential in a relationship as they ask the person to come to them and trust them to be there for them.

The song speaks to the universal desire for companionship and the pain of heartbreak. The chorus reinforces the idea that the singer needs the person they are addressing more than anything else, and nothing else will compare to the love that they can offer. The lyrics suggest that despite any wrongs or heartbreak, the singer is willing to be there for their love interest through thick and thin. The song's message is one of hope that despite any obstacles, love will always be worth it if it is genuine.

I’m not subscribing until you fix franchise mode. Tell EA to make their franchise mode more like 2ks. We deserve more depth and 2k does an amazing job with that. You’ve been with madden for so long, do your job and make the game better

Yosef Hoskins

@ericrayweather Can you fix the accuracy? There is a bad bug that causes inaccurate passes whether you’re pressured or not

Add more to franchise mode. It’s so dry and uninteresting

Can you please add more expansion teams and locations to franchise mode. I think you should model it more after 2k mynba mode. 2k has its flaws but its franchise mode is EVERYTHING

@Dustin Legiste use free form even if you don’t move the reticle out of the darkened area, there’s a big issue with non-free form passes being hella inaccurate even with getting the “perfect accuracy” to show up

You have become my favorite YouTuber. I have gotten so much better from watching your videos. I never knew how to disguise my D so I could audible without the players moving. I have one tip you should add to this list. Play clock management. Go into your settings in the game, put it on conservative and you'll come out of the huddle with 10 seconds left. It's great when you are strictly running clock, and want the fastest way to end the game!

These tips are how you should play every Madden. The issue this year is inaccurate throws, dropped passes, and "knocked out" make a lot of the passing tips easier said than done sadly....

I was decent at passing last year. This year it feels like noone is open and I’m throwing more picks unfortunately. And for some reason defensively I’m letting big plays happen.

Lower your difficulty just temporarily. This Madden there really is a little bit of a learning curve. Then you can turn it up as you get better.

I was getting cooked by a player with A rod and the jets playing zone. Switched to cover 2 man blitz schemes and noticed he started having trouble making downfield throws. Also worked against players who like to use running QB's. Of course if they beat man coverage they really know what they are doing.

Well after playing the game for awhile it is just a ok game. The offensive lineman don’t block very well in the run game. I went for it on fourth and short and my guard just moved and let the DT stuff me that’s not in the game. And then defender go the same stupid things. Why is it so hard to get that correct

A lot of people bitching about innacuracies and not being able to throw dots on the run. ITS SUPPOSED TO BE A SIM GAME. Finally it's somewhat realistic now instead of just some fake crap madden has been coming out with. Last year you could be blitzed on your back foot and throw a dot 65 yards and it's caught in stride lol For the first time in years I'm happy to be playing because it's more realistic
