Ready For Love

Bad Company

Walkin' down this rocky road
Wonderin' where my life is leading
Rollin' on to the bitter end
Finding out along the way
What it takes to keep love living
You should know
How it feels my friend

Ooh
I want you to stay
Ooh
I want you today
I'm ready for love, oh baby I'm ready for love
Ready for love, oh baby I'm ready for love, yeah
For your love

Now I'm on my feet again
Better things are bound to happen
All my dues surely must be paid
Many miles and many tears
Times were hard but now they're changing
You should know that I'm not afraid

Ooh I want you to stay
Ooh I want you today
I'm ready for love oh baby I'm ready for love
Ready for love oh baby I'm ready for love

Oh I'm ready for love
Yeah, I'm ready for your love

Ooh I want you to stay
Ooh I want you today
I'm ready for love oh baby I'm ready for love
Ready for love oh baby I'm ready for love
Ready for love oh baby I'm ready for love
Ready for love oh baby I'm ready for your love
Ah woah
I'm ready for your love
Oh I'm ready, I'm ready, mmm

    This song is amazing...I've starting to develop a definete appriciation of Bad Company...solid rock and roll music. I've also noticed that they were a definete influence in creating the band Stillwater from the movie Almost Famous (among other bands). If you listen to the Stillwater song "Love Comes And Goes" from the movie, it's structured exactly like "Bad Company" the song. Pretty cool.

    It means that nothing else matters to this person except for a real love and romance and if blessed enough, a true soul mate which is rare for some people. They don't give a blank about big money or material possesions but about true and real love with soul power. They have had a hard life and rocky road and are ready for the good stuff that will last forever. They keep a positive train of thought to keep love alive when they are single and will some day set them free from loneliness. The piano solo in the middle reminds me of the winter blues of Minnesota.

So this has been.my favorite song of OTEP's since it came out in 2004, and I always thought it was a song about a child's narrative of suffering in an abusive Christian home. But now that I am revisiting the lyrics, I am seeing something totally new. This song could be gospel of John but from the perspective of Jesus. Jesus was NOT having a good time up to and during the crucifixion. Everyone in the known world at the time looked to him with fear, admiration or disgust and he was constantly being asked questions. He spoke in "verses, prophesies and curses". He had made an enemy of the state, and believed the world was increasingly wicked and fallen from grace, or that he was in the "mouth of madness". The spine of atlas is the structure that allows the titan to hold the world up. Jesus challenged the state and in doing so became a celebrated resistance figure. It also made him public enemy #1. All of this happened simply because he was doing his thing, not because of any agenda he had or strategy. And then he gets scourged (storm of thorns) There are some plot holes here but I think it's an interesting interpretation.

The Spy
Doors, The
Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
