Crafting songs on a three E-string guitar to match his voice, Daniel played as many shows as he possibly could in his then home of Tacoma. In the summer of 2009 his path crossed once again with producer Buddy Ross (the hip hop pseudonym for Josiah Sherman). Having met years prior while working on other records, Daniel knew that fate had connected them again. The two worked through dozens of songs and by summer's end Buddy Ross had joined Motopony, recruiting Brantley Cady (guitar), Mike Notter (guitar) and Forrest Mauvais (percussionist) to round out the live band.

I'm Here Now

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I may not have the time
To give you what you need
I may not live the life
That you'd like me to lead

But there's something in your smile
That makes me want to try
And it's warmer in the night
With someone to lay by

I know this aint the song
That you been hoping for
This road is hard and wild
But it brought me to your door

I've just one thing to promise
If your heart allows
I've been a rambling shamble baby
But I'm here now

So take me into your bed
Lay down your pretty head
Hate me after I am gone
Cause I won't be here for very long

Now I've just one thing to offer you
If your heart allows
Wanderer he must travel baby
But I'm here now

I may not know the words
That you would like to hear
I may not believe the truth
That you've been holding fear

But there's something on your table
That I can call it home
You know I never have a dime to gamble
Or a cover of my own

I know this aint the song
That you been hoping for
This road is hard and wild
But it brought me to your door

I've just one thing to promise
If your heart allows
I've been a rambling shamble baby
But I'm here now

So take me into your bed
Lay down your pretty head




Hate me after I am gone
Cause I won't be here for very long

Overall Meaning

The song "I'm Here Now" by Motopony is a heartfelt ballad about a nomadic individual who struggles to give their partner the stability they may want, but still feels a strong connection to them. The singer admits that they may not be the perfect partner; they may not have the time or resources to give their lover everything they need. But something in their lover's smile encourages them to try. There's something about sharing the bed with someone that makes the singer feel a sense of warmth, even if they can't offer much stability.


The songwriter acknowledges that this is not the kind of song their lover may have been hoping to hear. But the trials and tribulations of the singer's life have somehow led them to their lover's doorstep, making them realize that they want to be there now. They promise that if given the chance, they will love their partner with all their heart, even if their wandering nature may take them away once again.


The sentiment of the song is about appreciating the present moment and seizing the opportunity to love someone, even if it may not be sustainable in the long term. It acknowledges the impermanence of relationships and the idea that sometimes, we have to accept what we can give and what we can't, while still remaining open to the possibility of love.

Its been few years since I first listened to this song and it still gives me the same mixed feeling of lost love, solitary yet happy. I feel calm.

Laura's amazing life

Meant to be shared with special people in our lives. Its so peaceful and deep its nearly unreal.
Listened to it with a special girl but we were far apart, I bet we could still feel the same through the song.

This song makes me feel so happy. That I have nothing to worry about. The lyrics calm all my senses which have been trying to act out. I feel like I am floating and just being in this moment. This song brings every fibre of my being in resonance. Such beauty! Thanks for existing. :D
