“Hold You Now” describes the intensity of a promising but unstable relationship and the love shared between two people. It is Vampire Weekend’s first collaboration with HAIM member Danielle Haim.
In his interview with Coup de Main, Koenig explains that:
The duets I was interested in were two peopl...
[Verse 1: Ezra Koenig]
I know the reason why you think you gotta leave
Promises of future glory don't make a case for me
I did my best and all the rest is hidden by the clouds
I can't carry you forever, but I can hold you now
[Verse 2: Ezra Koenig]
Leaving on your wedding day, all calm and dressed in white

The pews are getting filled up, the organ's playing loud
I can't carry you forever, but I can hold you now
Alright
[Chorus: Choir of All Saints]

[Verse 3: Danielle Haim]

[Chorus: Choir of All Saints]
God, yu tekem laef blong mi
Mi mi givim nao long yu
Mbae mi givim evride
Blong leftemap nem blong yu
[Outro: Ezra Koenig]

In an interview with Pitchfork, Danielle Haim explained:
I’ve known Ezra for so long. I actually met him when I was on tour with Julian Casablancas in 2010, I think the festival was Super Bock Super Rock in Portugal. I was a big fan, so I remember coming up to them backstage being like, ‘Hi! So nic...
