Ready Steady
Liner Notes
“Ready Steady” - #fawm 50/90 2024 song 33
I probably would’ve recorded another take or two, but the lightning and thunder that hit in this take seemed too good to waste. I started working on this song only because I just discovered this draft in my “done” pile — but it wasn’t done at all. Coincidentally, a storm’s coming!
These lyrics aren’t my usual style, but it was fun to deviate.

Lyrics
V1
Weather warning
Winds are swarming
Earthquake’s bound to shake
Wave unwinding
Fire and lightning
Takes what it can take
PC
There’s gonna be a thunderstorm
I’m gonna be your cornerstone
We’re gonna be our home (hold fast)
When the sky breaks free
C
Ready steady
Ready steady, steady
Ready steady, ready steady
Ready steady, steady
V2
Stepper, prepper
World can get you
Hailfall overhead
Mud is sliding
No use hiding
Blood you saved to shed
PC
C
B
All I’ve got -- that ties me to this rock
Is gravity, It feels like you,
Like anything they wanna throw at us
We’re gonna get through
PC
