Written by Felix Riebl and recorded over an inspired autumn session just outside of Melbourne with long-time collaborator and producer Jan Skubiszewski, “Ready Now” represents the past, present and future of The Cat Empire sound, giving notice of intent and announcing the forthcoming arrival of an a...
When I was six
Then you were nine
When I was darkness
You were sunshine
When you were shame
Then I was pride
When you were Jeckyll
Then I was Hide
When you were hope
Then I was fear
When you were far gone
I was so near
When I was peace
Then you were pain
I’d run away
You’d come again
Why you never let go?
Why you never let go?
When I’m missing, when I’m missing, when I’m missing
Why you never let go?
When I’m missing, when I’m missing, when I’m missing
Why you never let go?
When you were seen
Then I was not
When you were love
Then I was cut
When you were cruel
Then I was kind
When I was yours
Then you were mine
So tell me now
And tell me true
Am I all me
Or a part of you?
And are you all you?
Or a part of me?
Muhammad Ali
“Me We”
Why you never let go?
Why you never let go?
When I’m missing, when I’m missing, when I’m missing
Why you never let go?
When I’m missing, when I’m missing, when I’m missing
Why you never let go?
All things change (forever and ever)
All things change (forever and ever)
All things change (forever and ever)
But your love stays the same
All things change (forever and ever)
All things change (forever and ever)
All things change (forever and ever)
But your love stays the same
I’m ready here
I’m ready now
I’ve never been
So ready now
Never heard
Such a sound
As if the sky
Just hit the ground
Why you never let go?
Why you never let go?
When I’m missing, when I’m missing, when I’m missing
Why you never let go?
When I’m missing, when I’m missing, when I’m missing
Why you never let go?
When I’m missing, when I’m missing, when I’m missing
Why you never let go?
When I’m missing, when I’m missing, when I’m missing
Why you never let go?
Why you never let go?
Why you never let go?
Ready Now was produced by J-Skub.
The Cat Empire released Ready Now on Sun Jul 01 2018.
As the song’s author Riebl describes, “The new Cat Empire single Ready Now began as an accidental one hand arpeggio on a keyboard with an obnoxious synth horn sound on. It turned into a hard hitting and fairly epic sounding fanfare that sounds like a dark marching band in flight. Lyrically it’s fu...
