I'm Ready

Bryan Adams

I'd like to see you, thought I'd let you know
I wanna be with you everyday, hey
'Cause I've got a feeling that's beginning to grow
And there's only one thing I can say, yeah

I'm ready, to love you
I'm ready, to hold you
Don't you know
I'm ready to love you
I'm ready, I'm ready
As ready as I'm gonna be, oh yeah

She left me a long note when she left me here
She told me that love was hard to find, yeah
But baby it's easy and I'll make it clear, oh yeah
That there's only one thing on my mind, oh yeah

I'm ready, to love you
I'm ready, to hold you
Don't you know
I'm ready to love you
I'm ready, I'm ready
As ready as I'm gonna be, oh yeah

Yeah I'm ready to love you
Oh yeah I'm ready to hold you
Don't you know, I'm ready
To love you, yeah
I'm ready to hold you
Yeah don't you know
I'm ready, to love you, come now on
I'm ready, to hold you, yeah
I'm ready, to love you, sweet thing
I'm ready, to hold you, oh yeah
I'm ready, to love you
I'm ready, to hold you

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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,

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
