“Here With Me” by d4vd
“Here With Me” is an interesting piece in that as far as the verses go, D4vd is writing from the perspective of someone who has grown “old” with the addressee, even though, to note, he’s only 17 years old as of the dropping of this track.
But he does an effective job in that at least the lyrics are terse and don’t go into any real detail. And as for the chorus, it is applicable to any romantic relationship if you will, i.e. the vocalist stating his commitment to remain by his partner’s side.
So it’s almost as if D4vd is speaking to both an aged and fresh romance at the same time. Furthermore, it’s easy to imagine this song, in its overall simplicity, catching on in various circles due to what can be deemed its general applicability.
“And if it’s right
I don’t care how long it takes
As long as I’m with you
I’ve got a smile on my face
Save your tears, it’ll be okay
All I know is you’re here with me”
D4vd
D4vd is a hip-hop artist from Los Angeles whose discography just dates back to 2021. Between then and the release of “Here With Me” though, he has dropped nearly 20 singles and managed to score a solid hit with “Romantic Homicide“, the one that directly preceded this song.
As with quite a few YouTubers turned professional musicians, D4vd did not start off striving for a music career. Instead, his initial focus was on becoming a professional videogame player. However, he eventually began uploading tracks onto SoundCloud and as also noted earlier eventually hit via “Romantic Homicide”, which was not only his first song to chart overall but also in doing so made it onto the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 and peaked at number 3 on the Hot Alternative Songs chart.
“Here With Me”
On 17th of July 2022, D4vd formally dropped “Here With Me” as a single.
D4vd served as the writer of this track, with its producers being Dan Darmawan and Blueday.
I like to believe that the song is supposed to be in the perspective of a young man in a new relationship and he’s describing the possible future that he wants with his new partner.
He says “All the time we’ve spent” while pleading for his partner to “not let me go”, from the structure of it I think he’s imagining a possible future where their relationship lasts beyond their youth but is still acknowledging how unlikely that is.
This song was playing on the radio after I parted ways with a friend one weekend… I would like to think it’s a song about a great friendship, one that never ends despite one’s death. <3
For me, this song is for someone who is waiting and don’t even care how long it takes to wait for that someone.
The line “just one more time with you before we float off in the wind” for me is all about asking for more time to be with someone you really want to be with but you know that someone need to leave you.
Oh gosh, I know this reply is too late. But I love to say we have the same perspective.
I think this one is about two people in a talking stage, but the other says they’re not ready for a relationship just yet, which means he doesn’t care how long it takes to get in a relationship, as long as they’re there with them.
I think it is about being with someone…. forever
To me, it’s about a friend or relationship you had to part ways with but your memory of them is still with you and you’d do anything to relive your memories
To me, it’s about a friendship or relationship you left behind but your memory of that person is still there w you, & you’d do anything to relive your memories
I agree
I know this is kind of the opposite of what the song is actually about, but for me its an abstract way of telling a story about someone singing about a breakup they definetly havent gotten over.
I personally had the worst year of my life because of a breakup with the person i recently realized is the only person i have actually ever loved. As i was moving out of the apartment by myself (she had already moved and i couldn’t afford it anymore) i was listening to the song on repeat (this was 8 hours continually for mutliple days).
I never cry ever, but this song brings me to tears every time i listen to it and i dont know if i hate it or love it.
What makes it worse is that we still both love eachother very much and i think thats why “save your tears, it’ll be okay” breaks me down so hard every time.
Yea I totally agree with you, and I’m goin through the exact same thing as you, we still love each other, but it just didn’t work
Same, those few words start the tears and it’s the only song that makes me cry that way anyway i hope you guys can find a place to settle down together and live your lives out
I think is a goodbye song. He hasn’t more time of his life, and he is describing how amazing was the relation and he want more time for more!
“home” and “we float off in the wind” as the sky.
“Save your tears” don’t cry bc we will see each other again in the sky.
Every time I hear this song I imagined I am on my deathbed, talking to my loved one and singing the lyrics as I go.
tbh i think of this song in terms of long distance relationship, which i can relate to because my partner currently attends another school. i think it means that the person is willing to wait however long needed for the other to not be busy and to do something together if that makes sense. in another words this song is a mirror reflection of me :]
I think its about a guy growing old with his lover then they get old and die besides each other. I think this because of the words “Home” and the phrase “Before the wind takes us away.” He also talks about wanting to relive every memory they made before they go.
I saw that the people was died on tiktok and the song is so so so so soooo sad and that i was feeling so sad that there was that they have the new song and they have to do that they have to die and you guys have to see that they have to watch on tiktok and that song is here with me that is d4vd and that song is so sad and I have to watch it again and you guys can see there song from d4vd.
I was watching tik tok and the song is the sad and when the people died to the cross to the age and the year and then they have died but the tiktok people but you have to tried this tiktok video and it so sad video and song so that the tiktok song and then like for example like there grampa and there friends and there dad’s are going to die the age when they are for the so that then they have the song is here with me are d4vd and he can play fortnite and the song is for people has all ready died and that is so sad.
This song gives me loving vibes. And he sounds really lucky to have his partner.
I feel like is saying that he wants more time with loved ones.
This song is about an elderly couple at the end stage of their life, knowing that the inevitable (death) would to happen sooner than later.
1st verse talks about the journey of growing old together – not sure what to feel, the fear knowing that they are going home “dying of old age” or happiness that you are with the person you love the most, you grew with. Fear overpowering you, you wanted that other person to hold you and not to let go in this journey to the end of the line.
Chorus overcomes that fear of what is to come as long as they are together along the ride it would be ok. Just cherish the present.
Verse 2 is just reminiscing the good old days together, every memories that you wish you can go over and over with and never ends.
This is natural for elderlies in hospice care. to top it up the beach setting sunrise/sunset would be most ideal setting. This song makes me thing about my parents who are on their mid 60’s, it is gut wrenching to think that they are nearly at that stage of their life and it is a cycle that we’d all be on (if we lucky enough to be alive and grow old with the one we love – our significant other)
Perfect.
For my perspective , the song gives a definition of a love that will last till death. In the music video, the water represents the afterlife where in the girl was the firsf to leave and next is the boy. The video ends with both of them reunited to each other while the boy is disappearing.
For me, this song signifies being with someone and coming to a conclusion that someday through time you’ll be separated by death.. And coping is reminiscing the times that you were still young and have plenty of time to be together until the last sunrise with that special someone.
If only heaven have visiting hours…
