Hold out your hands and lean upon me, I'll be the one to make you smile again
I could go on and on and on about how fit Sam Carter is in this video, but I won't because this song means so much to me. Though I'd like to say that the very first time I saw this, I immediately busted out laughing when Tom Searle was on screen being all serious and somber. I cannot take him seriously after all the Architects interviews I have watched.
The Here And Now came out at a time where I was feeling pretty shit. When I played the whole album for the first time, besides Learn To Live, this song was what caught my attention. I started crying when I heard this song. It's so beautiful and Sam's voice is just
perfection. For the next few days, I had this song on repeat and it lifted my spirits quite a bit. But everytime I heard this song, it causes some kind of feel good vibe within me. I don't quite know how to phrase this actually but this song kind of gave me hope I guess? And the lyrics that I had bolded were the ones that stood out to me the most. I realised that I have smiled like I meant it in ages. And somehow I just feel like it's God just telling me to depend on him and he'll give me real joy. I had also put the lyrics as my iPod wallpaper and during one of the cell sessions we were told to meditate and ask God for a word and I guess this really spoke to me in some way or another. I know you're thinking that it's stupid how I manage to drag everything to include God but it's just how I feel and what I know. I almost feel like this is the soundtrack to my life as stupid as it sounds.
