And Now
Shani Wallis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who's Sorry Now?
Who's heart is aching for breaking each vow?
Who's sad and blue?
Who's crying too?
Just like I cried over you.
Right to the end,
Just like a friend,
You had your way,
Now you must pay;
Shani Wallis's rendition of "And Now" is an emotional ballad about heartbreak and the aftermath of a failed relationship. The song opens with a reference to a classic song, "Who's Sorry Now?", asking who is feeling regret over a broken vow. Then, it delves into the singer's own heartbreak, questioning who else is feeling the same pain and sadness. The lyrics continue to describe the singer's attempts to warn the person who broke their heart and the ultimate payment they must now make as a consequence of their actions. The overarching theme of the song is the idea that despite the hurt and bitterness that comes from a failed relationship, healing and moving on is possible.

A beautiful performance of this lovely song. Shani has a wonderful quality to her voice. She deserved to be much more popular in the UK . The Americans loved her. Our loss was their gain.
