Former Hero - Friends Now

“I started off writing about a specific person who turned out to be a completely different person I thought they were when I met them. I left the song to sit for a few months, and the meaning completely changed for me. It went from being a song about a person, to a song about my relationship with mental health. ‘Friends Now’ is about being at odds with your brain, and wanting nothing more than to be okay with yourself when going through turbulent times. I love that the song can be read as both a ‘self vs. person’ and ‘self vs. self’ way depending on how you're feeling.” - Former Hero

Hello,
Is this where you thought you'd be today?
How far,
Can we make it before we lose our way?
I'm so sorry but I don't know what you're saying
I'm so sorry but I don't know where you're going with this.
Where are we?
I'm so sorry but I don't know what you're saying
I'm so sorry but I don't know if you wanna stay.
So stay.
So tell me are we friends now?
Tell me that you're all in my head.
Tell me that i'm worth this.
Just hold me closer instead.
So tell me that we're friends now.

The end of the song is so nostalgic and magical

[@hotfrostmusicarchive4919]

I love his style.

[@PrinjPal]

[@anthonygonzalez9268]

How you described this song being 'self to person' or 'self to self' is exactly how Everything Matters feels to me. You achieved something wonderful here. 🕊️

[@pulvenberg1709]

I feel the latter meaning a lot. Not going to lie, its kinda hard to accept that you kinda have to be a friend with yourself, even if you know all the contradictions and faults and youre not really able to like yourself that much.

[@yikes1090]

This track is so beautiful & groovy at the same time 🥺

[@J_vb]

I love these small synth samples getting introduced at 0:49 :3
They're so light and soft ^^
The drop was amazingly clean and dry, I love it.
And thank you for the piano part in the end, I really felt that ❤

[@angelbravo9317]

I was introduced to Former Hero when I heard his Surface by San Holo Remix played at EDC 2019 and honestly he has been one of my favorite artists since then. This song is so amazing and I love both meanings behind the song and how it's for how you're feeling. Keep up the amazing work!

[@Sarthak26j]

[@kodimanion857]

Beautiful, I hope many more feel what this made me feel it gave me closure about this really amazing person I met not to long ago.. she is gone now but she was the best friend I always needed taught me how honesty however scary it may be is worth having in a relationship.. of any kind and beacuse of her I have standards I did not have for myself and those I let in my life..
