1) A Melodic Hard Rock … Read Full Bio ↴At least, five artists are known as Xavier:
1) A Melodic Hard Rock band from USA.
-Members:
Jason Webster - vocals, guitars
Tim Xavier Sears - lead guitars, backing vocals
Darren Todd - bass, backing vocals
Abe Guthrie - keyboards, synth bass, backing vocals
Jason McConnell - drums, percussion, backing vocals
-Discography:

2) An early-80s eight-piece funk act (formerly known as Xavier and LUV), led by Ernest Smith (aka Ernest “Xavier” Smith - lead guitar / bass / lead vocals), Ayanna Little (lead vocals), Tim Williams (drums), Ralph Hunt (aka Ralph Hunt Jr. - bass), Jeffrey Mitchell (guitar), Lyburn Downing (percussion), Emonie Branch & Chuck Hughes (vocals). Smith began his career in the mid 1960s with a later incarnation of The Coasters, then joined Midnight Movers (Wilson Pickett's backing band) - later, contributed to records of Isaac Hayes & The Temptations. In the late 1970s, he relocated to Hartford, CT, USA & joined the Shades Of Direction, soon renaming the group Xavier and LUV (an acronym for Life's Universal Vibration). Their first single, Work That Sucker To Death (1981), was a smash crossover hit, featuring Smith's long-time friends Bootsy Collins & George Clinton. Their follow-up single, Do It To The Max, also charted & their LP, Point Of Pleasure (from which Love Is on the One, also, remains popular), was a near-miss on Billboard's top 100. Subsequent efforts fared less well & the group dissolved in the mid-80s.
3) A nu disco artist who's début single, Give Me The Night, was released 15 Aug 2005 (Ten Records). The track was produced by Scott Hoffman (aka Babydaddy of Scissor Sisters) & A Touch of Class. The song was, originally, part of a A Touch of Class EP (the NY label responsible for launching the Scissor Sisters & The Ones). It's an italo disco / synthpop cover, of George Benson's anthem, written by Rod Temperton (writer of many Michael Jackson hits: Thriller & Rock With you).
This 2nd 12" features two remixes by the ThePlastic Avengers , it has already seen support from trend-spotters Erol Alkan and Soulwax, now the record is set for crossover success this summer.
Contrary to his parents’ reports Xavier was immaculately conceived. Any resemblance he bears to them is purely coincidental. His incessant howling around the house, neighbourhood mini-concerts from his bedroom window, and impromptu performances for houseguests prompted his mother to arrange an audition with the Boys Choir of Harlem. Not only did he get in, but within his first year he was touring with the group as a featured soloist at the age of 11. During his seven-year stint with the group he got to sing alongside notable performers like Paul McCartney, Quincy Jones, Whitney Houston and his hero Stevie Wonder.
While studying at Columbia University, Xavier managed to make a name for himself singing in New York’s downtown club scene, between socializing and not doing his coursework. In fact, he won one contest so many times, he was asked not to return.
4) An R&B artist based out of Boston, MA. His debut EP was released for free on Symbols Recordings (https://soundcloud.com/symbolsrecordings/sets/xavier-hearts-daggers-ep-1/).

5) Xavier was born Bay Area resident Eugene Xavier Duckworth Jr., the son of the owner of coffee chain Gene’s Beans. At the age of 21, Xavier went platinum with the song “X Marks The G-Spot” off his album, Somebody Xave Me. Although Xavier recently died tragically, his music lives on in his latest unfinished album, now an EP titled R.I.P. Xavier, which ironically features his new single, “Imma Live Forever.”
“The Afterparty” centres on a murder mystery at a high school reunion. Each of the eight episodes features a retelling of the same night told through a different character’s perspective, each with its own unique visual style and film genre to match the teller’s personality

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause girl I'm up right now, let's grab this table for two
I'm countin' up right now, up up right now
I was down for a while, almost down for the count
But girl I'm up right now, you was down when I was down
I was down for a while, almost down for the count
I'm countin' up right now, right now, right now, yeah right now
I'm countin' up right now, I'm up right now
I was down for a while, almost down for the count
But girl I'm up right now, you was down when I was down
I was down for a while, almost down for the count
I'm countin' up
I can't wait to slide
Spend a couple dollars on you for the night
The smile that makes me smile is right here in my sight
Tryna spend all of my time with you (count it up)
Hour one, hour two (count it up)
Down for me, down for you
And I'm up right now, yeah
Hella love, hella trust right now, yeah
Never gon' break that
Get in the car
Loser, we skrt-ing on all
Lucifer's plans, we with God
No other route, without a shadow of doubt
We never down for the count
I'm countin' up right now, right now, right now, yeah right now
Right now, right now, right now, yeah right now
Up right now, up up right now

In Xavier's song Now, the artist expresses his happiness and excitement for his current situation. He feels as though it's his time to enjoy life and create memories with the woman he loves. He wants to take her out on a date, spend money on her, and genuinely enjoy each other's company. He reflects on his past low moments, where he felt down and almost "down for the count," but now he's up and counting up his blessings.

Xavier notes that the girl was there for him when he was going through a tough time, and now that he's up, he wants to return the favor by giving her his time, love, and trust. He celebrates the healthy relationship they have as they prioritize spending time together and staying loyal to each other.
Overall, the lyrics of Now convey a message of gratitude and joy for the present moment. Xavier is appreciative of the highs and lows that led him to this point, and he plans to cherish his time with his loved one.
