Introduction
Hey there! I just have to tell you about this absolute gem of a song — “Go Now” by The Moody Blues. If you haven’t heard it yet, you’re in for a treat. Imagine sitting with an old friend, the kind who knows all your secrets, and hearing a story that hits you right in the feels. That’s what this track feels like.
Released in 1964, “Go Now” isn’t just any song; it’s a soulful plea wrapped in the hauntingly beautiful voice of Denny Laine. You know that feeling when you’re at a crossroads in a relationship, and you’re not sure if you should hang on or let go? This song captures that perfectly. It’s like a musical echo of all those times you’ve had to make a tough decision about love.
What makes “Go Now” stand out is its raw emotion. The piano intro is so simple yet so powerful, setting the stage for the emotional rollercoaster that follows. And when Laine’s voice kicks in, it’s like he’s right there with you, sharing your heartache and uncertainty. It’s no wonder this song became such a hit—it taps into a universal experience with such grace and intensity.
Did you know that “Go Now” was one of The Moody Blues’ first major hits? It’s amazing how this song helped pave the way for their future success and transformation into a band known for their symphonic rock sound. It’s like they were telling us from the start, “Hey, we’re here to make music that matters.”
So next time you’re feeling a bit introspective or need a soundtrack for a long drive, give “Go Now” a listen. And think of it as a wise old friend reminding you that sometimes, letting go is the bravest thing you can do. What do you think? Have you ever had a “Go Now” moment in your life?

Lyrics
We’ve already said
“Goodbye”
Since you’ve got to go
Oh, you’d better go now (go now, go now)
Go now, ooh (before you see me cry)
I don’t want you to tell me just what you intend to do now
‘Cause how many times do I have to tell you, darling, darling
I’m still in love with you, now? Whoa
We’ve already said
“So long”
I don’t wanna see you go
Oh, you’d better go now (go now, go now)
Go now, ooh (don’t you even try)
Telling me that you really don’t want me to end this way-ay
‘Cause darling, darling
Can’t you see I want you to stay? Yeah, yeah
Since you’ve got to go
Oh, you had better go now (go now, go now)
Go now, ooh (before you see me cry)
I don’t want you to tell me just what you intend to do now
‘Cause how many times do I have to tell you, darling, darling
I’m still in love, still in love with you now?
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I don’t wanna see you go
But, darling, you’d better go now
