about
Songs ABOUT the destination that FEEL like the destination are few and far between. 'YOU'RE HERE NOW' captures that energy and then some. From the soaring electric guitars in the intro, to the wonderfully- shocking trumpet-filled refrains, to the absolutely riveting ear candy in every nook and cranny of this tune, it's an instant feel-good summertime playlist addition. Drawing from inspirations like the 1975 and coldplay, the influence is undeniable. Giving the reigns of production to the guitar player in the band, Max Lew, brought out a totally new soundscape in the discography of the band. Preparing to play this song on the road with Kings Kaleidoscope has driven this song to be the best that it can be. Its first life being in some of the most iconic rooms in the United States (House of Blues-Chicago, Gramercy Theatre-NYC, etc.) is the warm welcome that the song demands. Ever-evolving, 'YOU'RE HERE NOW' is a vital point in the Adam Paddock universe. The creative direction surrounding the artwork for this song strived for the carefree feeling of ease that comes with reaching a point in your jounrey that feels comfortable... but that doesn't come without the fall. In the canvas and promo videos, you see Adam nearly tipping and wiping out from a stool in the middle of an overgrown field. This visual is playing on the bridge lyrics, "Sometimes the best thing you can do is let it crash - to start again and find a win."
lyrics
I’ve heard the walls keep talking to you
Whispering names and blowing a fuse
Calling to court the shame you just can’t shake
On the broken side of the brink of a break
Every last ounce of every mistake
Lives like a gun held straight up to your face
It gets hard to see that
There’s a place that we can go
And wipe our tears on the way back home
Something’s sweet, when you know you know
It’s better where the grass grows and we follow
Fill your plate and wear your crown
It’s all around you, and deep down
Claim the seas and own the ground
It’s always been yours, you’re only here now
Become who you are with every regret
Run for the hills but never forget
You find out who you are when you reset
It’s less hard to see, now
There’s a place that we can go
And wipe our tears on the way back home
Something’s sweet, when you know you know
It’s better where the grass grows and we follow
Fill your plate and wear your crown
It’s all around you, and deep down
Claim the seas and own the ground
It’s always been yours
Sometimes, the best thing you can do is let it crash
To start again
And find a win
The best thing you can do is let it crash
To start again
And find a win
The best thing you can do is let it crash
To start again
And find a win
The best thing you can do is let it crash
To start again
And find a win
There’s a place that we can go
And wipe our tears on the way back home
Something’s sweet, when you know you know
It’s better where the grass grows and we follow
Fill your plate and wear your crown
It’s all around you, and deep down
Claim the seas and own the ground
It’s always been yours, you’re only here now
You’re here now
You’re here now
You’re here now
You're here now

The intersection between energetic pop & intimate singer-songwriter is where Adam Paddock's diverse discography feels right
at home. Double-take-worthy horn arrangement married to unassuming, soaring vocals driven by familiar acoustic instrumentation is the formula; power-packed, community-focused live shows are the result. People are the point....more
