Right This Second
Alex Wilson
Description
"Right This Second" is a shimmering indie-pop anthem that explodes with the urgency and joy of living in the moment. Alex Wilson's signature breathy vocals dance over a vibrant soundscape of punchy, layered drums, shimmering synthesizers, and driving, clean-toned guitars. The song perfectly encapsulates the feeling of youthful spontaneity, chasing fleeting moments of perfection, and creating memories that will last a lifetime. With its infectious energy and uplifting message, "Right This Second" is the quintessential soundtrack for sun-drenched days, late-night adventures, and embracing the pure, unadulterated joy of being alive. Think early M83 meets The 1975 with a touch of Chvrches.
Lyrics
[VERSE 1] (clean guitar + bright synth plucks) Sun’s barely up, but we’re already runnin’, Skate wheels hittin' sparks on the pavement. You say, “Hold up, this light looks perfect,” And I laugh while you spin in the moment you’re chasin’. [PRE-CHORUS] (drums tighten, synth pad lifts) Every heartbeat’s louder when we don't plan it, Every frame feels magic when we just grab it. [CHORUS] (full indie-pop lift, wide guitars) Don’t blink—this is happening right this second. No script, just a snapshot, go on—let’s catch it. We’re alive, wide open, not a minute to edit. Yeah, we’re livin’ it, lovin’ it, right this second. [VERSE 2] (bassline push, palm-muted guitar) Late-night diner, neon humming, Friends piled in, somebody’s joke still landing. You say, “Look here,” and the whole booth’s glowin’, Freeze the laugh ‘cause the world won’t stop expanding. [PRE-CHORUS 2] Every blurry streetlight makes a memory, We’re collecting real life as it’s meant to be. [CHORUS 2] Don’t blink—this is happening right this second. No script, just a snapshot, go on—let’s catch it. We’re alive, wide open, not a minute to edit. Yeah, we’re livin’ it, lovin’ it, right this second. [BRIDGE] (half-time drums, vocoder harmonies) Spin around—every angle’s golden. Breathe it in—these seconds stay stolen. Hold it close—every laugh, every lesson. Let it roll—we’re the story in the present. [FINAL CHORUS] (back to full tempo, gang vocals optional) Don’t blink—this is happening right this second. No script, just a snapshot, go on—let’s catch it. We’re alive, wide open, not a minute to edit. Yeah, we’re livin’ it, lovin’ it, right this second.
