‘Love For Now’ by Emily Seibert is a sentimental soft rock track that captures the wistful longing and dulcet optimism that seems to come with being in a loving, long-distance relationship. Its lyrics take on a bright sense of optimism, aspiring in a way for two lovers to be under the same sky at some point.
It’s vulnerable and wistful, longing for a love that’s far away, even beginning with our narrator vulnerable and by themselves. This mood seems to be captured expertly by the song’s soft, subtle, yet bright instrumentation.
‘Love For Now’ seems to be about a temporary, yet optimistic compromise. Our lovers are separated “…for now…”. “…Nothing’s gonna hold us down….”, “…our roads are crossing song darling….”. There’s a bright vulnerability to the song, “…hold on, love for now…”.
In the song’s subtlety comes its lightness, a hopeful, cheery optimism that is almost infectious. Our narrator urges their lover to hold onto love, hold onto this hope that might feel difficult and hard at times. It’s a track imbued with almost infectious optimism.
‘Love For Now’ by Emily Seibert captures a blip in time, a moment. It promises that things will change and that there will be a time when the longing seems to fade away, bringing light optimism to push away wistful longing.
The song is sentimental and sweet while capturing love and longing.
