Now and Then is a 1995 film directed by Lesli Linka Glatter and starring Christina Ricci, Rosie O'Donnell, Thora Birch, Melanie Griffith, Gaby Hoffmann, Demi Moore, Ashleigh Aston Moore and Rita Wilson.
It was filmed largely in Savannah, Georgia, using the downtown squares and the Country Walk subdivision Gaslight Addition and Bonaventure Cemetery and Statesboro, Georgia, highlighting the downtown area. Statesboro locations include the Bulloch County Court House (also featured in the film "1969") and the building now housing the Averitt Center for the Arts.
A dramatic sequence in the film features a storm drain in a rainstorm that is on Statesboro's West Main Street, across the street from Main Street Billiards and near 119 Chops Restaurant.
It has been referred to as a female version of the 1986 film, Stand by Me.
In 1991 four childhood friends — Samantha Albertson, the "weird" girl who likes performing seances and whose parents are divorcing (fairly uncommon in the early 1970s); Roberta Martin, a tough tomboy whose mother died when she was four; Chrissy DeWitt, a naive girl who is sheltered by her mother, and Tina "Teeny" Tercell, an outgoing girl who dreams of being famous -- reunite in their hometown of Shelby, Indiana.
Days pass and the weeks go by
Dream for hours 'bout the future
See the faces and the names go by

Years pass and your life goes by
All the while you stop to wonder
Brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers lie
Between now and then...
These days

These days
Do you walk all the way?
Carry all that weight
Do you walk all the way?
Now and then
Days pass and the weeks go by
Dream for hours 'bout the future
See the faces and the names go by
Between now and then...
These days
Between now and then...

Now and then
I must admit I wonder if I had the chance
To vanquish foes with nothing more than just a glance
How perfect every single day would be
To never wait in driving rain
For the bus that never came
Not to be the one to blame
For anybody else's misery
Now and then
I contemplate a different way around this day
With nothing more than simple words, so I can say
I'm quite content and happy being me
Walking tall with peace of mind
To leave no childhood dreams behind
Arriving home to always find
Things just as I know they ought to be
Now And Then
I must admit I wonder if I had the chance
To vanquish foes with nothing more than just a glance
How perfect every single day would be
To never wait in driving rain
For the bus that never came
Not to be the one to blame
For anybody else's misery
Now and then
I wake up, when it hits me like a ton of bricks
I realise it's me who has to take the licks
No angels up there looking after me
No rainbow with a pot of gold
No cloak to shield me from the cold
No pill to stop me growing old
I know where I'm bound
And where I'm chained
And where I'm left alone
I know no hunger, and I feel no pain
But tonight I wanna go home
Stay with me now and then
From all sides hem me in
Sing me a song
So I can close my eyes
Before I was born
Every day recorded
Your thoughts like grains of sand
Through the wide-eyed night
In the morning light
As my days demand
With the fears of a girl
and the heart of a woman
and everything in between
though I swim this ocean
and ride these wings
In the beginning of it all there was the land
And the sea and she sky
Then into the middle of it all there came man
To live on the land.
And then a great nation
Put into operation an evolutionary plan
Now mighty corporations and politicians rule the land
Wish I could remember when
We were more innocent
Than all of those violent bitter men.
The world was much younger then
But we were much wiser then.
Before we were full of discontent.
It's too bad the simple ways came sadly to an end
I guess that's the difference between now and then.
In the beginning of it all there was the land.
We were much younger then
But we were much wiser then
We never questioned why or when
One day we'll be born again
Our lovers and friends will remain
To live in a world without suffering and pain
And I can see a day when enemies are friends.
And there'll be no distance between now and then.
Days pass and the weeks go by
Dream for hours 'bout the future
See the faces and the names go by
Between now and then...
These days
Years pass and your life goes by
All the while you stop to wonder
Brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers lie
Between now and then...
These days
Between now and then...
These days
Do you walk all the way?
Carry all that weight
Do you walk all the way?
Now and then
Days pass and the weeks go by
Dream for hours 'bout the future
See the faces and the names go by
Between now and then...
These days
Between now and then...
These days
Between now and then...
Lyrics by Mike McGurk
Now and then behind the rows
Of pearly teeth and fashion clothes
She sees them in the mirror-tiles
Trying on their latest smiles
Light and warmth from spotlight beams
Convincing them their nightmare is a dream
Now and then when they're at rest
Flocked in sleep in cuckoos' nests
Feeling safe no need to hide
She opens doors and windows wide
And poised upon her painted claws
She stretches out her gaudy wings and soars
Far away
Borne by the wind
She roams the sky
No one to say ... too low ... to high
Or count the lonely miles that she has flown
This world is hers alone
But then again behind the rows
She feels the piercing looks of those
Who watch her every move in case
She happens to forget her place
Who sum her up ... deny her flight
Aim their words and shoot her down on sight
Far away
Borne by the wind
She roams the sky
No one to stay ... too low ... too high
Or count the lonely miles that she has flown
This world is hers alone
(guitar solo)
Far away
Borne by the wind
She roams the sky
No one to stay ... too low ... too high
Or count the lonely miles...
Far away
Borne by the wind
She roams the sky
No one to say ... too low ... too high
Or count the lonely miles that she has flown
This world is hers alone
Hello again, the mornin' dawn has burned away the midnight mist
Now and then I feel so fine
And now and then I don't feel lonely
Now and then and only in my mind
I want to go outside today, go away, I think I'll stay
Now and then I talk with you
And now and then you turn me on
And now and then and when I don't feel blue
Maybe I could tell you now that I really love you
Pleased to understand that you are there, in the air
Now and then you turn me on, now and then you must be gone
Now and then I said say so long, now and forever then
Hello again the mornin' dawn has burned away the midnight mist
Now and then I feel so fine
And now and then I don't feel lonely
Now and then you see a soul and you fall in love
You can't do a thing about it
Now and then you see a soul and you fall in love
You can't do a thing about it
Now and then you see a soul and you fall in love
You can't do a thing about it
Now and then you see a soul and you fall in love
You can't do a thing about it
In you I saw someone that I recognized
Had no idea what was in your mind
I met your eyes and I was hypnotized
I let our lives become entwined
Now and then you see a soul and you fall in love
You can't do a thing about it
Now and then you see a soul and you fall in love
You can't do a thing about it
I feel so badly Darlin' all the time
I have tortured you so long
But I am helpless in this pantomime
I am aware that I was wrong
Now and then you see a soul and you fall in love
You can't do a thing about it
(Can't do a thing about it)
Now and then you see a soul and you fall in love
You can't do a thing about it
(Can't do a thing about it)
Now and then you see a soul and you fall in love
You can't do a thing about it
(You can't do a thing about it)
Now and then you see a soul and you fall in love
You can't do a thing about it
You can't do a thing about it
For though you knew that I was twice your age
To make you laugh seemed youth enough
I thought we'd love and then you'd turn the page
I'd have to suffer your rebuff
And it was me who had the most to gain
Despite the fact that I now have lost
The only love that ever caused me pain
I feel like a double head was tossed
Now and the you see a soul and you fall in love
Now and then you see a soul and you fall in love
Now and then you see a soul and you fall in love
Now and then you see a soul and you fall in love
And you can't do a thing about it
(You can't do a thing about it)
Now and then you see a soul and you fall in love
You can't do a thing about it
(Can't do a thing about it)
Now and then you see a soul and you fall in love
You can't do a thing about it
A call on Rastus' answering machine
you see it was drawn easy, my services for a rewarding fee. never thinking then of the hundreds ive hurt. their morals and family so deserted, you see, back then my mind was conned, caught in a pipe dream. understand my path set forth from a struggling background. mom always worked her hardest maintaining her four hounds. scared and afraid that my own child's future was at stake quickly reacting was where i made my biggest mistake. filled with dillusions i fell, i fell deep in my grave carried by deceits devouring waves. i can still remember her nights in tears of rage never giving up even with her life in a ruthless maze. took a harsh lesson for me to understand life. what once was taken granted stabbed with a knife. ive towed along loved ones throughout my experiences, placed them in torturous wars when it all was needless. now and then i failed to think deep clear inside. now and then i rather maintain a modest existence. now and then never again will i barter my freedom.
all that glitters is gold
gold is what she gave me
like the sun i see her fade
away into the cold
on this blurred photograph
she offers me her smile
there is something in her eyes
that makes me tremble even now
and then
i sigh
all that twinkles are tears
there goes my reflection
down her cheeks into
the corner of her mouth
on this blurred photograph
she offers me her smile
there is something in her eyes
that makes me tremble even now
and then
i sigh
on this blurred photograph
she offers me her smile
there is something in her eyes
that makes me tremble even now
all that matters at times
a simple sign
all that matters sometimes
is easy to forget
i try not to
i don't want to
but i have to
Hangin around this place tonite
Makes it clear that I was right
About the things we had in store
Even though we were so poor
We had our flaws
You had your doubts
But I knew it would all work out
And when all the chips were down
You never came around
When the call came run or fight
You ran hard with all your might
You thought without you we'd be lost
You were wrong at such a cost
We've been so far, you've been so not
I've been bitter, said fuck a lot
Through this strife we are strong
We've come too far to be wrong
Now and then you feel so bad
Wishin for times you never had
But it's far too late
And tomorrow just won't wait
Now and then you feel so blue
Because time ran out on you
But the world has gotta spin
Now and then
We couldn't afford to treat you right
Cookies and milk tucked in at night
Nights of sleepin in our van
Wasn't park of your master plan
You have my pity that you fucked up
If you're still trying I wish you luck
You're gonna need all you can get
This world is hard for a peice of shit
Now and then you feel so bad
Wishin for times you never had
But it's far too late
And tomorrow just won't wait
Now and then you feel so blue
Because time ran out on you
But the world has gotta spin
Now and then if I could just see you just enough to get me through
Get me through the times when I need love take me in now and then
Now and then hold me in the night just enough to get me by
Get me by when I feel so alone take me in now and then
Now and then I need the kind of love and the kind of love you give is all I'll ever need
All I need is showing me you care and knowing you'll be there to believe in me
Now and then if I could count on you just enough to see me through
See me through the times when I need love take me in now and then
Now and then I need the kind of love...
peace colours
what's left of mine
I used to find
pennies crushed on tracks
it's a long way back to the station
now and then
I could be a friend
I could be a friend
now and then
now and then to you
I could be a friend of use
so hide me when you go
back amongst the reeds
cable coils
around my neck
whatever's best
it seems insane to me
can't escape the family tree
roots are buried deep
deep as you can climb
I'll do
I could be a friend to you
now and then
I could be a friend
now and then
I could be a friend
now and then to you
I could be a friend of use
no second chance at this
I'll watch you making love with them
build a fire
behind the school
come and visit soon
if you're blue and alone
hold my hand they're coming back for more
there's always one more score
I'm sure to balme for this
I've got to get this change through and through
now and then
I could be a friend
I could be a friend
now and then
I could be a friend
I could be a friend
now and then
Now and then, sometimes when you're thinking
About when you were always drinking
And how friendships came in one evening
You loudly pretend connecting had some meaning
But now you don't, 'cause you can recall
Why you were possessed
To say something like,
"Come along with me and find a new direction, one that
can't deceive us."
Like they first said on TV
And now you don't
Now and then if I could just see you just enough to get me through
Get me through the times when I need love take me in now and then
Now and then hold me in the night just enough to get me by
Get me by when I feel so alone take me in now and then
Now and then I need the kind of love and the kind of love you give is all I'll ever need
All I need is showing me you care and knowing you'll be there to believe in me
Now and then if I could count on you just enough to see me through
See me through the times when I need love take me in now and then
Now and then I need the kind of love...
Now and then now and then
I'm alright
Nobody worry 'bout me
Why you got to gimme a fight?
Can't you just let it be?
I'm alright
Don't nobody worry 'bout me
You got to gimme a fight
Why don't you just let me be
Do what you like,
Doing it nat'rally
But if it's too easy
They're gonna disagree
It's your life
And isn't it a mystery
If it's nobody's bus'ness
It's everybody's game
Gotta catch you later
No, no, cannonball it right away
Some Cinderella kid
Get it up and get you a job
(Dip dip dip dip dip dip dip dip)
I'm alright
Nobody worry 'bout me
Why you got to gimme a fight?
Can't you just let it be?
I'm alright
Don't nobody worry 'bout me
You got to gimme a fight
Why don't you just let me be
Who do you want?
Who you be today?
And who is it really
Makin' up your mind?
You wanna listen to the man?
Pay attention to the magistrate
And while I got you in the mood
Listen to your
Own heart beatin'
Own heart beatin'
Own heart beatin'
Own heart beatin'
Don't it get you movin'
mmmmm-man
It make me feel good
(Wow, Cinderella kid)
Then give it up and give it the job
(dip dip dip dip dip dip dip dip)
(Boom, boom, boom, boom)
I'm alright
Nobody worry 'bout me
Why you got to gimme a fight?
Can't you just let it be?
I'm alright
Don't nobody worry 'bout me
You got to gimme a fight
Why don't you just let me be
I'm alright
Nobody worry 'bout me
Why you got to gimme a fight?
Can't you just let it be?
I'm alright
I'm alright
Just let me be
I think this time you've said enough to make me want to leave this place
Still I keep coming back for more of the same to fan the dying flame
Here inside these walls that seem to move a little closer every day
There must be a way out of this crazy game we play out to the end
Let us just pretend a while
Think about the good things now and then
I think this time that was the best time that we two had ever known
We tried the handle of the house upon the shore and found the open door
Once inside we found a curious moonbeam doing dances on the floor
We were only playing like two children who had stayed away from school
Two of us could not be wrong
Heaven knows who keeps the golden rule
I think this time we've learned enough to know that nothing is the same
But still the pounding of my heart hasn't changed and leavin's so strange
Here among my thoughts of you I find a gentle longing to be free
There must be a way out of this crazy game we play out to the end
Take away the in-between
Think about the good things now and then
We will see the day when you or I will stay or face up to the end
Let us just pretend a while
And think about the good things now and then
Now and then
A loser wins
Gets a winning hand
Now and then.
Once in awhile
The angels smile
And someone's life
Turns out just right.
Now and then
Dreams come true
When someone like me,
Is loved by someone like you.
So many times,
I just couldn't help believing
I'd never find,
The one to make my life worth living.
But now and then
Miracles still happen
Oh, I know they do
'Cause I found you.
--- Instrumental ---
It'll always be
A mystery
That in all this world
You chose me.
It's good to know
That now and then
It all turned around
And there's really a rainbow's end.
Now and then
Dreams come true
When someone like me,
Is loved by someone like you.
So many times,
I just couldn't help believing
I'd never find,
The one to make my life worth living.
But now and then
Miracles still happen
Oh, I know they do
'Cause I found you.
So many times,
I just couldn't help believing
I'd never find,
The one to make my life worth living.
But now and then
Miracles still happen
Oh, I know they do
I've been torn apart since I met you
Don't know how I'll see it through
Troubled times are on their way
Wish that you could stay
Now and then
I feel like giving up
Instead I'll cry, alone
And wonder why
Friends tell me I'm acting like a fool
The way we live breaks all the rules
The lies I tell don't seem so strange
Wake me up, I'll change
Now and then
I feel like giving up
Instead I'll cry, alone
And just say goodbye
Love, I can't believe my lies drove you away
Love, I can't believe I made you feel this way
Last time that I looked into your eyes
Telling lies that made you cry
Troubled times are on their way
Wish that you could stay
Now and then
I feel like giving up
Instead I'll cry, alone
And wonder why
Love, I can't believe my lies drove you away
Love, I can't believe I made you feel this way
Now and then
Now and then
Now and then
...
Sometimes the hole you left hurts my heart so bad
It cuts through the deepest parts of me
And fills up my mouth with words that I cry
How I'm still trying to stay inside
Hearts break and hearts wait
To make us grow from dust
Then our eyes cry and souls sigh
So that we know that it hurts
Our hearts break and hearts wait
To make us grow from dust
Then our eyes cry and souls sigh
So that we know that it hurts
Every now and then my memories ache
With the empty ideas of the ones we'd made
But as time goes on and my age gets older
I love the ones I know, they're enough to picture the rain
'Cause heart break and hearts wait
To make us grow from dust
Then our eyes cry and souls sigh
So that we know that it hurts
Our hearts break and hearts wait
To make us grow from dust
Then our eyes cry and souls sigh
So that we know that it hurts
You know when to make me, I might just your heal
You know when to make me, I might just your heal
You know when to make me, I might just your heal
The past time so familiar
But that's why you couldn't stay
Too many ghosts, too many haunted dreams
Beside you were built to find your own way...
But after all these years, I thought we'd still hold on
But when I reach for you and search your eyes
I see you've already gone...
That's OK
I'll be fine
I've got myself, I'll heal in time
But when you leave just remember what we had...
There's more to life than just you
I may cry but I'll make it through
And I know that the sun will shine again
Though I may think of you now and then...
Can't do a thing with ashes
But throw them to the wind...
Though this heart may be in pieces now
You know I'll build it up again and
I'll come back stronger than I ever did before
Just don't turn around when you walk out that door...
That's OK
I'll be fine
I've got myself, I'll heal in time
And even though our stories at the end
(Bennett)
Don't look down as we fall
There's still blood in our veins
You can't sell this recall
When it's all that remains
I know what you've heard
About a vision that dies
Please don't spread the world
That we've been falling inside
From the sound we're spinning around
Beginning under the ground
From the sound we're spinning around
Beginning under the ground
Now and then they fear for the youth
Now and then we all feel the truth
The truth
The truth
The truth
The truth
Tell me where you've been
And cast a verse in the sand
I know what you've seen
It's in the palm of my hand
First they try and use you
When you're under the ground
Make sure when they choose you
That you turn it around
From the sound we're spinning around
Beginning under the ground
From the sound we're spinning around
Beginning under the ground
Now and then they fear for the youth
Now and then we all feel the truth
Now and then they fear for the youth
Now and then we all feel the truth
The truth
The truth
The truth
The truth
From the sound we're spinning around
From the sound we're spinning around
From the sound we're spinning around
From the sound we're spinning around
From the sound we're spinning around
Beginning under the ground
From the sound we're spinning around
Beginning under the ground
Now and then they fear for the youth
Now and then we all feel the truth
Now and then they fear for the youth
Every now and then
You hold me
And now and then
You're there
Every now and then
You show me
And now and then
You care
Now and then
You love me
Now and then
Means everything
It started out just like any summer
When days are felt like a lifetime long
That's when we found each other
And we found ourselves, oh oh oh.
[chorus] Now and then (now and then)
Don't have to look back
Now and then (now and then)
You're right here with me
Now and then, oh my friend
Don't say goodbye again.
Lookin' in your eyes was like a mirror
Every single joy and fear
All for one and one for all
Yeah, we did it all.
[chorus]
And though it was long, long ago
So here, here inside I know.
[chorus]
Lookin' in your eyes was like a mirror
Every single joy and fear
All for one (all for one) and one for all
Yeah, we did it all.
Now and then (now and then)
Now and then (now and then)
Now and then, oh my friend
Don't say goodbye
Don't say goodbye
I read the news, in a paper
No flowers please, donations to charity
Like the N.S.P.C.V.d.G.G.
Just send the money to Guy and Hugh and David and me.
It's a joke, there is no hope left, who ever might
disagree
Tell me that you're seen the worst, dish me the dirt
Go on and rip the back right off my shirt !
Tell me how I hate Hugh Banton
Tell us that the bank account is zero ant that anyway
There's no-one left to play to, oh well, there you go.
Are we ever going to get this act together on time ?
It's been totally screwed up and I really just don't know
Is there any way of keeping a clean feed line ?
Its out of the question, when the triple distortion
booster's blown
Jackson, please ! What's matter man ?
You're freaking me out you know
Only playing happy families, maybe playing different
tunes
Always playing too hard, too fast, too soon !
Waiting for our fate to take us
Waiting for liquidator
Caught in colour by the paper in the middle of a show
Waiting for our fate to take us
Waiting for liquidator
The only news is bad news
When the only story is making up or carrying on.
