The song tells the story of a love relationship that ends abruptly, leaving one partner devastated and confused. The partner who is left behind doesn't understand why the relationship broke up. They used to share a feeling that the relationship is a source of inspiration. 

The song begins with a 12 string guitar that sets the mood for the story. Lans sings in a high pitch, expressing his confusion and pain. He asks his lover why she has to go, what he did wrong, and how he can live without her

The short chorus is a powerful contrast to the verses, as Lans unleashes his emotions. He repeats the phrase "you go now" with a mix of anger, sadness, and resignation. He sounds like he is trying to convince himself that it's over, but he can't let go.

The orchestration by the legend Freddie Lindquist adds depth and drama to the song with his strings, horns, and percussion. The orchestration builds up as the song progresses. The composition carries a haunting violin solo that echoes Lans' despair.

Lindquist's orchestral arrangements complement Lans' voice and words perfectly. They create a rich and complex musical landscape that reflects the emotional turmoil of the story. They enhance the impact and intensity of the song, making it a memorable and moving experience.

"You Go Now" is a song that will touch anyone who has ever experienced a breakup or a loss of love. It is a song that showcases Lans' ability to convey complex emotions with his voice and words.
