Song: Now
Artist: Paramore

Hey. It's been a while since I made a video. Maggie Rhee / Maggie Greene has been by far my favourite character in season 11, Lauren Cohan has been amazing and has given us some of the best scenes in years.

I feel like this song perfectly describes Maggie's character in season 11, especially versus the Reapers and the Commonwealth. The whole premise of the song is about how you fight for love and aim for a better future for your loved ones. Just like Maggie is doing for Hershel and Hilltop. In the process Maggie did lose a lot of her loved ones, such as Beth, Glenn, Hershel and many others. This is why I contrasted the fight scenes with happy black and white scenes. To show the difference between what you fight for and what you can lose, including Maggie's own sanity and happiness by going down this dark spiral. I tried to mimick the ending of the 'Now' music video, by having the final scenes be those of people hugging, just like Hayley Williams did to her enemy, showing that love triumphs war and hatred.

[The next part of the description is only Paramore references, read it at your own caution.]
The reason I was away for a little while is because I've not been feeling the best. You could say I've been going through some 'Hard Times' and that I was kind of 'Caught In the Middle'. My love for Paramore has been helping me through it, though. 'It was a spark, but it was enough to keep me going'. I've been a fan of Paramore since 2005/2006 I believe, and 'after all this time, I'm still into' Paramore. Things are 'Looking Up' now though, so no need to worry about me. However I started to feel the 'Pressure' to upload a video, since time was ticking away. I've always wanted to edit 'Now', but I never really found a fitting character. I've played with the idea to use it for Octavia from The 100, but I didn't have the scenes. 'That's What You Get' when you don't have the episodes on your PC. Regardless, I'm happy I got to use it for Maggie now. Editing this video has been the most fun I've had with editing in recent years. Maybe I'll make a 'Part II' some day. I'd love to use more Paramore songs in the future, however the lyrics can be a bit tricky to make it work in a The Walking Dead context. I feel like 'Now' is 'The Only Exception', where the lyrics fit perfectly with TWD. However maybe it's just my 'Ignorance' and I should look deeper into all the lyrics of every song (as if I haven't already).

Lyrics:
Don't try to take this from me
Don't try to take this from me
Now-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow

Don't try to take this from me
Don't try to take this from me
Now-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow

Feels like I'm waking from the dead
And everyone's been waitin' on me
'Least now I'll never have to wonder
What it's like to sleep a year away
But were we indestructible?
I thought that we could brave it all (all)
I never thought that what would take me out
Was hiding down below

Lost the battle, win the war
Bringing my sinking ship back to the shore
Starting over, we'll head back in
There's a time and a place to die but this ain't it

If there's a future, we want it
(Now-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow)
If there's a future, we want it
(Now-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow)
If there's a future, we want it
(Now-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow)
If there's a future, we want it
(Now-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow)

Don't try to take this from me
Don't try to take this from me
Now-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow

Don't try to take this from me
Don't try to take this from me
Now-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow

There's a time and a place to die
There's a time and a place to die
And this ain't it
There's a time and a place to die
And this ain't it, this ain't it
This ain't it

There's a time and a place to die
There's a time and a place to die
But this ain't it, no

If there's a future, we want it
Now-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow
If there's a future, we want it
Now-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow
If there's a future, we want it now
Nooow!
(Now-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow)

If there's a future, we want it
Now-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow
Now-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow
Now-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow

It appears we have even crossed the 98K subscriber mark now! Damn. That is incredible. I truly am honoured to have such an amazing community to support my channel and the videos I put out. It’s great to not only receive kind and heartfelt comments, but also to see that you guys are getting along in the comments with each other. Previously this would be more of sale-speech, but honestly, I doubt anything I say here can convince you to hit that subscribe button. If you watched the video you can decide for yourself. All I’ll say is that you clicking once on that button actually helps me out a lot, especially with how terrible YouTube’s algorithms are currently. ( I don’t even want to know what they will be like in the future) Either way, thank you to those who subscribe! Become a Kek (??) and completely destroy that subscribe button!
