Just For Now
Imogen Heap · Speak For Yourself (2005)
It's that time of year
Leave all our hopelessnessÂ’s aside
If just for now (just for now) leave awhile
Just stop right here
I know we've followed a bumpy ride.
IÂ’m sinking along your side
How did you know?
It's what I always wanted
Could never have had too many of these
Well I, quit kicking me under the table
I'm trying; will somebody make her shut up about it?
Can we settle down please?
It's that time of year
Leave all our hopelessnessÂ’s aside
If just for now (just for now) leave awhile
Just stop right here
I know we've followed a bumpy ride.
IÂ’m sinking along your side
Lie down
Deep breaths
Count to ten
Nod your head
I think something is burning
Now you've ruined the whole thing
Might fool the smoke alarm
Whoever put on this music?
Better quick shop remove it
Pour me another
Oh, don't wag your finger at me
It's that time of year
Leave all our hopelessnessÂ’s aside
If just for now (just for now) leave awhile
Just stop right here
I know we've followed a bumpy ride.
IÂ’m sinking along your side
Get me outta here (x13)
Just for love
Just for love.
Just For Now
Imogen Heap's 'Just For Now' serves as a defining track on her 2005 album *Speak For Yourself*, showcasing her innovative approach to electronic pop and vocal production. The song features Heap's signature use of the 'One-Note Guitar,' a custom instrument she designed to create a unique, melodic texture that blends seamlessly with her ethereal vocals. Released during a period where she was actively exploring the intersection of technology and songwriting, the recording exemplifies the genre-blending style that characterized her work in the mid-2000s. It stands as a testament to her ability to craft intimate, atmospheric soundscapes that prioritize emotional resonance over conventional song structures, influencing countless artists who followed in her wake.
