abstract
  • %22Right Now%22 is a rock song written by the group Van Halen for their album For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge. The song reflects on living for the moment and not being afraid of making a change. Vocalist Sammy Hagar has said that he was writing the lyrics to this song at the studio very late one night, and he heard Eddie Van Halen in an adjacent room working on a piano melody. Hagar said he suddenly realized that %22we were writing the same song,%22 so he walked into the room and began singing his words over Van Halen's music. A version of the melody appears in the 1984 movie The Wild Life which was scored by Eddie Van Halen.Hagar says the lyrics for %22Right Now%22 were the best he ever wrote for a Van Halen song. %22I was tired of writing cheap sex songs,%22 he recalled almost two decades later. %22Eddie and I wanted to get serious and talk about world issues.%22 Different edits of the video had been used in Van Halen's 2004 tour to make more explicitly political statements in later years.
