Woo

Readymade, readymade
Steady as the rhythm rolls
Readymade, readymade
And this is how the story goes

I've got a cousin making beats
Deep down in Arizona
We're gonna rocket to Ramone's
In the city of Pomona, go

Readymade, readymade
Steady as the rhythm rolls
Readymade, readymade
And this is how the story goes

And if I give to you my second sight
You got it
And if I stay the course, I'll stay the night
Come get it

Readymade, readymade
Baby oughta celebrate
Readymade, readymade
And now it's time to deviate

I've got a sister making babies
With a Black and Decker blow torch
We're gonna flop it all night
In the middle of the back porch, yeah

Readymade, readymade
Baby oughta celebrate
Readymade, readymade
And now it's time to deviate

And if I give to you my second sight
You got it
And if I stay the course, I'll stay the night
Come get it
Oh, clean it up, Johnny

Readymade, readymade
Rockin' for the sake of slade
Readymade, readymade
Listen but don't be afraid

I've got a brother making trouble
In the state of Caledonia
I wish I knew another way
But I'm gonna have to clone ya, hey

Readymade, readymade
Rockin' for the sake of slade
Readymade, readymade
Listen but don't be afraid

And if I give to you my second sight
You got it
And if I stay the course, I'll stay the night
Come get it

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
