This 1995 gem comes to us courtesy of former Bangle Susanna Hoffs.

Now and Then, for those of you who weren’t twelve year old girls, is the female equivalent of Stand By Me where four twelve year old girls have an adventure blah, blah, blah, it’s your clichéd coming of age story for girls.

And it’s actually really good. I don’t know how to describe it but it’s one of those mid-90’s all star casts movies you gotta see.

Anywho, this was the titular song played at the end of the movie sung by Susanna Hoffs, formerly of the Bangles (the 80’s girl group who sang Eternal Flame, Manic Monday, and Walk Like an Egyptian). I don’t know if she had a successful solo career but did you know she has another movie connection through music. In Austin Powers Goldmember Austin sings in a band called ‘Ming Tea’ and Susanna is the guitarist (and Susanna’s husband was the movie director Jay Roach)

*If I remember, there was a long instrumental after all the lyrics so I think this version I posted is cut

FUN FACT: Co-writer and background singer for this song is Jane Weidlin of another 80’s girl group the Go-Gos. Jane was also the singing telegram girl in 1985’s Clue and the voice of Hex Girl drummer Dusk from Scooby Doo

Now and Then- Susanna Hoffs

Started out just like any summer When days have felt a lifetime long That’s when we found each other And we found ourselves, oh, oh, oh Now and then (now and then) Don’t have to look back Now and then (now and then) You’re right here with me Now and then, oh my friend Don’t say goodbye again Lookin’ in your eyes was like a mirror Every single joy and fear All for one and one for all Yeah, we did it all Now and then (now and then) Don’t have to look back Now and then (now and then) You’re right here with me Now and then, oh my friend Don’t say goodbye again And though it was long, long ago So here, here inside I know Now and then (now and then) Don’t have to look back Now and then (now and then) You’re right here with me Now and then, yeah my friend Don’t say goodbye again

Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh Lookin’ in your eyes was like a mirror Every single joy and fear All for one (all for one) and one for all Yeah, we did it all Now and then (now and then) Now and then (now and then) Now and then, oh my friend Don’t say goodbye Don’t say goodbye Don’t say goodbye again

Let me tell you why Now and Then is an excellent movie

This is more than a chick flick that I have fondness for because of nostalgia. It is THE chick flick. And not the stereotypical BS that is dubbed a chick flick nowadays(the ones that involve girls sniping at each other over a man or popularity). No, this is a movie for girls that treats them equally with respect and deals out hard truths of adulthood while still holding on to the power of love and friendship. It is a beautiful movie with so much heart and love put into it. 

It teaches us about death, family, sex, gender roles, and all these other themes about growing up and none of the girls resolve these through a love interest but with each other. It is overall a feminist movie that doesn’t shame girls for being girls. If you’re all about female friendship, this is the movie you have got to see.
