    Now or Never is a 1980s-inspired synth pop/new wave journey through a broad spectrum of human emotions and experiences. From love and loss, to regret and change, strap in for the ride! The Instrumentals, shows the album in a whole new light, featuring alternative versions and collaborations throughout. It places the 80s-inspired instrumentation at the centre of the listening experience and lets the music do the talking.

lyrics

It was a hot summer half a lifetime before
Escape felt so close now, now that they'd finished school
He was working at the theme park selling tickets in a booth
She would hang out with her friends there just for something to do

But it came out of nowhere
And it caught them by surprise
It was something unexpected
That forever changed their lives

She caught him staring at her and thought she'd have some fun
She only meant to tease him, didn't mean to fall in love
Like a story from a movie she was out of his league
They tried to fight it, but it was meant to be

But it came out of nowhere
And it caught them by surprise
It was something unexpected
That forever changed their lives
And it came out of nowhere
And it caught them by surprise
It was something unexpected
That forever changed their lives

But the summer came to an end
And they swore they'd find each other again
But then life and time came between them
And then all they had left was the memory

Many years later, careers, marriage and kids,
Half a world apart, they wonder what might have been,
Maybe one day they'll meet again, and see how they ended up,
But they'll never forget that summer they had, the feeling of that first love

And it came out of nowhere
And it caught them by surprise
It was something unexpected
That forever changed their lives
And it came out of nowhere
And it caught them by surprise
It was something unexpected
That forever changed their lives
