FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Patrick J Meaney Celebrates Love in the Present Tense with New Single “Only Now”
A joyful, jazz-inflected pop single arrives worldwide October 30, 2026
[North Salem, 10/16/26] — Singer-songwriter Patrick J Meaney returns with “Only Now,” a chill, rhythmic new single that captures the dizzy, all-in feeling of falling for someone completely.
Available on Spotify, Apple Music, and all major streaming platforms beginning October 30, 2026, the track is an exuberant reminder that some moments — and some people — demand your full attention.
Produced and engineered by Marc Wolf, “Only Now” finds Meaney’s vocals and keyboards anchoring a richly textured arrangement — Wolf’s guitars and bass provide propulsive warmth, while flute and saxophone from Manny Tuzman lift the track into something genuinely playful and alive.
Together they conjure the feeling the lyrics describe: the world suddenly bigger, the stakes suddenly higher, and every ordinary moment lit from within.
“Only now, for you I would / pull the stars from the sky / spread them in your neighborhood.”
— Patrick J Meaney, “Only Now”
Where Meaney’s previous single “So Much Good” invited listeners to find the good in strangers, “Only Now” turns that gaze inward — toward one person, one summer, one specific and irreplaceable feeling. It’s a song about presence: climbing mountains, driving into open skies, waking up beside someone and feeling the world rearrange itself around you. The title says it all. Not later. Only now.

About Patrick J Meaney
I grew up in Astoria, Queens. At 16 my folks agreed to help purchase a used Gretch Anniversary model for $50 that I still have. I played it for years. As a teen I carried a small radio in my shirt pocket, trying to get as close as possible to the sound. I love most of the classical rock, the Beatles, much of the newer music in Spotify’s Chill Pop, some Rock and am blown away by live orchestral music, particularly Tchaikovsky. I have a penchant for mentioning that I opened the gate into the parking lot on the day the Beatles played Shea stadium, then went in and saw them while the fans screamed and went wild. Quite a day, it was. I am self-taught in just about everything and I’m trying to get this music heard wide and far. I wrote, sang and played Bass in a couple early bands and we had fun playing our own songs, wherever allowed. I truly look forward to playing the songs from this album, live, at our earliest opportunity and hoped you would attend. While, there is a love song or two in the album, several of the songs try to explain feelings that are profound to me, and hopefully, also to you.
