about
“Ready Before Long” comes first on the track list. It’s not the title track, nor was it written before “Chunks” (it was actually written in May of 2017), but it’s the one that sounds better coming first. It’s the second most hopeless song I have ever written and it came to me after a most joyous day out with my mother. This was Workers’ Day, or May 1st. We don’t spend that many days together anymore. My girlfriend was out of town and I was at home alone but not really wanting to be alone at home, so I made plans to be with my mother. It was a very nice, very pleasant day. Good temperature, the sun high in the sky, mostly blue skies. We went to an Italian restaurant by the river and had pizza together and it was very good. After that we went to a museum and I think it was the first time I went to a museum with my mother as an adult which, again, was fantastic. Everything was pretty much perfect, you know? I had recently become a vegetarian and I shared the news with my mother that day and she was very understanding. That’s always nice too. When I got home that day, I sat on my chair and pretty much wrote “Ready Before Long” from start to finish. Took me about a month to learn it on the guitar. Nice song, I think. A bit fragmented, perhaps, but that only highlights its organic nature. And organic is always better.
lyrics
Momma said it’s time to look at how I’ve been
Said at four o’clock and it’s past fifteen
She’s probably about to ring but I won’t be ready for long
See I’m not very fond of letting someone in
Last time my father put quite a scene
Sure takes a miracle for us to start getting along
The thing about home is that I feel there’s always something wrong
I’m pacing through the house, stumble upon the cats
They fooled me pretty good, they’re no diplomats
At least they get annoyed every time I burst into song
What’s worse: there are dirty plates from there to here
It’s not they’re gonna kill me, sure, what’s to fear?
Well I’d tell you… but I ain’t got much long
The thing about home is that I feel there’s always something wrong
She’s climbing up the stairs, she’s already here
She’s knocking at the door, just a bit my dear
Last time the key was turning, but now I’m not that strong
I suppose I’ll try the kitchen, go and grab and bite
But there isn’t much to eat and that sure ain’t right
The thing about home is that I feel there’s always something wrong
I’m sorry momma but I won’t be ready for long
I’m sorry momma but I won’t be ready for long
I’m sorry momma but I feel that something’s going on
