Love this song. It's meaning pretty much sums up my philosophy of life. Living in the Now. Being here now. Cause life's too short and this is the one life we get. Find comfort in the now and don't worry about what hasn't been. Life is precious and won't be wasted searching and hoping for a "better place" "out there".
If you love this song... check out great divide on his website... I wish they'd create a Youtube on that song as well. Siad it before... their live version of "Whole lot lighter" , "Now", and "Great divide" have replaced a lot of James Taylor songs as my mellow favorites. I wish he could catch a bigger break than the one his guitar got. ; )
Dave, great song. I love your music, just wish you would play in Southern Ontario. Keep your humble east coast personality, its the key. You remind me of another NS person with great talent and great spirit, the late Stan Rogers. Keep up the great work and thx

@notfauxnooz Tough call... Now is a gorgeous tune... but I gotta give the bigger thumbss up to "the great divide". CMT Canada has picked up one of his songs... I just wish he could get better distribution in the US.
I must admit, I heard this song because of "United breaks guitars". I hearby pronounce Dave Carroll and his (very) merry band of musicians beautifull. His voice has a quality to it that is just awesome. And his insight into life is a pretty darn good one.
I could not have gotten through this year without this song. I cannot tell you how many times it kept me from reaching the end of my rope. Thank you, Dave.
Still listening to this,Dave. So glad we got to see you here in Sherbrooke recently. Proud of your work. This song gives my soul a reboot when things are tough.
Dave Carroll from Sons of Maxwell performed this beautiful song in Toronto at Hugh's Room on Thurs. June 2rd. Based on the book The Power of Now by Eckart Tolle...it is a very powerful message sang in his very original melodic style. Now is all there is!! Check out his Perfect Blue CD....!!
@FairytalePalace I was there too- wasn't it a great concert? I am enjoying listening to Perfect Blue in the car. And I am one those who is glad that United broke his guitar, as I had not heard of Dave or Sons of Maxwell before.
This song was like a warm hug to me when I was going through a tough time. Thank you for your songs and your voice, you touch people and may not even know how deeply.
When he sings "now never ends, and nows never been (pronounced bin)...and all of your answers are waiting.." I always expect the next word to be WITHIN. anybody else?
Thank you for the song NOW it has gotten me through some tough times. You are very talented and I still laugh at your United guitar ordeal and the way you creatively handled it. Keep writing and singing Leslie
Found this guy and band through the "United song" ..when i have been down this past year, I listen to "United" now this song...This guy has talent, raw maybe, but definitely worth listening to.. Dave Carrol and the Sons of Maxwell have a Fan with me.
Awesome Sunday afternoon song. Just got back to NS from Chile; this song fits the mood perfictly. Thanx again Dave! You have a way of pulling the right song at the right time, peace
This song is nothing short of medicine. It's pure relief when, at the end of the day, I sometimes wonder what it's all for...
Then, my dog nuzzles his nose into my hand, looking only to comfort. And I realize: Now's all there is... so peaceful and still. And now I don't what's happened or what will...
God has graced Dave Carroll with the ability to put into words and music what I feel at that moment. This song is an absolute GEM. Thank you, Dave. The world needs this song.
I play this song whenever I have a hard time relaxing enough to sleep, because it always relaxes me. It's his voice even more than the lyrics for me tho. Very soothing and peaceful.
I have this feeling that I will hear this song on the earphones the next time I have to fly United. Those who shoot themselves in the foot usually have a hole in the other foot already~
Last night this was song at a concert in honour and memory of Debbie Armstrong who died of Myelodysplasia. The concert was a Christmas concert with a contata, etc, but this song was sung especially for Debbie's family. Wonderful lyrics.
This is beautiful. I listen to it several times a week. Comforting and peaceful. Good one,Dave. Keep it up. No matter who messes with your guitar..or luggage for that matter. Talented lad. Great album.
When the whole "United Breaks Guitars" saga began to unfold, I was thinking, "How clever a determination to satisfy negligence." A real David and Goliath scenario. "Now" ...what an absolutely encouraging and beautiful song. NICE WORK! So real and true a slice of worthy philosophy. Zeitgeist!
It's true. I found the United song first and traveled the choices until I found "Now". United made me laugh... but Now made me cry, which is what we do when Soul touches Love,... and we remember Home.
Stunningly beautiful! Isn't it interesting that some of the most inspirational lyrics (and music) are the simplest of messages. "Now is all there is." And yet how often we lose sight of how important NOW really is. Everything we do in life is accomplished in the "now."
Brilliant song, Dave. Sweet and poignant! Long may you run! And if any of you aren't aware, Dave is part of a group called "Sons of Maxwell" which also deserves a lot of success. Search for them here on Utube or in Google.
this song is absolutely beautiful. a real hit. you should make a "real" video for this asap! the chosen pics fit the mood very well, but a video could do even more to support the atmosphere the music creates!
Ah, yes, Nova Scotia makes some great musicians. It must be the climate and water. Lots of snow means people are stuck inside all winter, which results in the creative juices working
I went to the SoM website and ordered the CD and it arrived in the UK really quickly - it's absolutely beautiful. I was a bit dim usong the website at first, and Dave's mum was really helpful!
The CD you're looking for is Dave Carroll's solo album "Perfect Blue". There's a link to his site in the description for this video (to the right of the video). Once you get to his site, go to the Store. You can buy the album and the individual songs.
I would like to buy the "Now" mp3, but I don't have an international credit card. Is there any other means to buy it? I live in Montevideo, Uruguay, South America
Greetings rwasmyfirstlove - I just checked it out and you can also use PayPal at the store. If you don't have a PayPal account, you would have to set one up. If I remember correctly, it takes a couple days to complete the PayPal set up if you choose to use direct banking for payments instead of a credit card.
"Now" is absolutely beautiful. As I said on Dave's UBG video page, listening to this was a deeply spiritual experience for me. Just what I needed to hear!
Dave's music is fresh, beautiful, and sweet... and it speaks to the heart. I truly hope people continue to support his wonderful talent!
Funny to see that others have followed the same path and ended up here. Great song and talent. I'm from Australia. Never heard of United Airlines before. Ha. They've really got a reputation.
Agreed. I'm happy to see people are finding their way here, Derekoarmy. Dave's a wonderful and hard working singer/songwriter. And, this is one of his best solo tunes, IMO. Enjoy. :)
Praise to United Airlines for discovering this singer for me! This is a beautiful song, well worth the $1 (=0.90 USD) that he sells it for. He really has a nice voice.
I love this song cant stop listening to it. Hope you know the whole world hears it because of giutar gate but loves it because its beautiful. and I hope you are around for a long time cause youve given something thats made a lot of people smile. And I wanted to let you know that ive heard people humming United 1 in a shop in rural Ireland :)
First off, I'd like to thank UA for being so incredibly uncaring about customer service as to screw over a guy who's read Eckhart Tolle and learned that one's reaction to a situation is that which makes it good or bad!
Good on Ya Dave! Great reaction to bad service!
Thanks United Airlines, for totally screwing the pooch and bringing Dave to the 4 million of us and counting who would otherwise have never heard of him!
This is a beautiful song... very inspirational for anyone going through a difficult time. I think a STAR has been born through a difficult experience (United)... !! Tremendous voice and songwriting. A very special sound!! I hope you go far Dave!!!! Take a different airline and come tour America! :)
I can't stop listening to this song. The tune is awesome. The lyrics, so moving. Why isn't this a top 40 hit? It is so incredible. Dave is like a hidden gem. We can all thank UA and his guitar song for introducing his wonderful talent to so many. Just brilliant!
I have to echo this sentiment, because here in Ireland we even got to see Dave perform his brilliant 'United Breaks Guitars' song on the News!I checked him out & found this hauntingly beautiful melody.Have saved both to my favourites!
Dave: your United Airlines experience, as frustrating as was for you, will turn out to be the BEST thing that happened to you because of how YOU chose to deal with the adversity.....and it as this song of your directs...Good for you, I had never heard of you before but now will never forget the extremely tasteful manner that "fought back".....WELL DONE...lesson delivered in a most postive manner
I purchased Perfect Blue Friday night and can't wait for it to arrive. How as this talent managed to fly below the radar this long I'll never know. He's a pure musical genius.
Thank God the fools at United broke Dave's axe, and thank God that Dave and the Sons of Maxwell didn't take it lying down, elsewise too many of us would have missed this wonderful band's beautiful music.
Hey, heard of your UAL guitar incident, so sorry that happened to you. However, hearing your music was fantastic. Music that is so good for the soul. I will definitely be buying more of your music ASAP. Keep on making that wonderful music. Looking forward to move of Dave Carroll and The Sons of Maxwell
That is so gorgeous Dave. I spent hours and hours at Dulles airport last year because of United's overbooking of a flight. The staff were unapologetic and cold towards me. A waste of a day when I could have been in New York with friends. Healing music for us both. Congratulations from a fellow musician.
Thank you Dave Carroll for this beautiful and inspiring work of art. If it hadn't been for your poor broken guitar, I might never have discovered this. I'll definitel y be buying your album and cheering on your success, and the success of The Sons of Maxwell....go get 'em from Halifax, Nova Scvotia, Canada
Awesome piece of art you have produced here. Through your songs, you are endeed speaking for all of us. Thank you very much for this. Your time has come my friend. Congratulations!
Amazing!! awesome!!! I love this song. How much hope it can give to those who really listen to the words. The music resonated with my soul ... thank you ,Dave from a fellow music lover in Halifax. Peace and blessings ... an example of how life can change in a very short time and may yours be the best
To anyone who's wondering about this, Dave sent his song to Eckhart Tolle in 07 after it was written because it was inspired by "The Power of Now". Eckhart liked it & endorsed it last year before he did Oprah's global classroom.
After that Dave did every thing he could think of to get the song to Oprah. I'm not sure if she ever heard it, but a copy was given to her producer. Maybe now she will.
Couldn't be happier for Dave this week. It would be hard to find a harder working & nicer guy!
Hallelujah!! I'm not a religious guy, but damn if this doesn't prove the existence of Karma I don't know what would! The guy is a class act and and has put this corp to shame. Nice to see the good guys win one! :)
I have to thank a friend for sending me your video song of "United broke my guitar" I so enjoyed it that I had to check out more of your music on Youtube and I am very impressed with what I heard. It would be hilarious when you win a music award that you might have to thank United for giving you so much recognition.
Your song "Now" is a lovely piece of music, vocal and lyrically.
Sorry for your guitar, but it did not die in vain, so to speak. This NOW song is beatiful, but I would have never known it but for your murdered guitar.
Yes, thank you so much United for doing us the favor of 'highlighting' him. I'm sure he'll get lots of public exposure through your blundering, uncaring ways and he'll hit the charts and dwarf any money you'll ever make!
I thank United very much for breaking Dave's guitar and thanks to Today's Big Thing for introducing me to Dave and his music! So looking forward to exploring his music! I LOVE IT!
Dave, this song is also very beautiful. It is very moving. I am glad you posted your "American Breaks Guitars" video because now I got to now more of your music and the great talent you got with your voice. Absolutely wonderful!
Hello Eat2surf, I chuckled at your comment and meant to give it a thumbs up and accidently hit the thumbs down icon. Sorry. I tried hard to undo it but do not know how. I do believe that things happen for a reason and that is why I liked your comment. So Two thumbs up!!
Wow, what a beautiful song. It seemed like just what I needed to hear, just when I needed to hear it. Thanks. You have a lovely voice. I'll be looking up more of your music.
The fact that this doesnt have millions of views reflects the fact that so many of us are not in the now. Thanks Dave.

I have to echo this sentiment, because here in Ireland we even got to see Dave perform his brilliant 'United Breaks Guitars' song on the News!I checked him out & found this hauntingly beautiful melody.Have saved both to my favourites!

Dave: your United Airlines experience, as frustrating as was for you, will turn out to be the BEST thing that happened to you because of how YOU chose to deal with the adversity.....and it as this song of your directs...Good for you, I had never heard of you before but now will never forget the extremely tasteful manner that "fought back".....WELL DONE...lesson delivered in a most postive manner

Thank God the fools at United broke Dave's axe, and thank God that Dave and the Sons of Maxwell didn't take it lying down, elsewise too many of us would have missed this wonderful band's beautiful music.
BOYCOTT UNITED AIRLINES and buy Dave's music!

That is so gorgeous Dave. I spent hours and hours at Dulles airport last year because of United's overbooking of a flight. The staff were unapologetic and cold towards me. A waste of a day when I could have been in New York with friends. Healing music for us both. Congratulations from a fellow musician.

Dave,you should forward this to Oprah
19lorraine44 2 years ago
To anyone who's wondering about this, Dave sent his song to Eckhart Tolle in 07 after it was written because it was inspired by "The Power of Now". Eckhart liked it & endorsed it last year before he did Oprah's global classroom.
After that Dave did every thing he could think of to get the song to Oprah. I'm not sure if she ever heard it, but a copy was given to her producer. Maybe now she will.
Couldn't be happier for Dave this week. It would be hard to find a harder working & nicer guy!

I have to thank a friend for sending me your video song of "United broke my guitar" I so enjoyed it that I had to check out more of your music on Youtube and I am very impressed with what I heard. It would be hilarious when you win a music award that you might have to thank United for giving you so much recognition.
Your song "Now" is a lovely piece of music, vocal and lyrically.
Keep the music coming.

Yes, thank you so much United for doing us the favor of 'highlighting' him. I'm sure he'll get lots of public exposure through your blundering, uncaring ways and he'll hit the charts and dwarf any money you'll ever make!

Hello Eat2surf, I chuckled at your comment and meant to give it a thumbs up and accidently hit the thumbs down icon. Sorry. I tried hard to undo it but do not know how. I do believe that things happen for a reason and that is why I liked your comment. So Two thumbs up!!
