R-Ready and Waiting to Fall
As many of you know, Mae has been my absolute favorite band ever since I discovered them last September. So it should come as no surprise that at least one blog post would be dedicated to them. “Ready and Waiting to Fall”, off Mae’s album The Everglow, is, in my opinion, the first truly uplifiting song of the album. Particularly in the play I’m writing based off the album, it comes directly after the turning point of the play, where the main character Micah finally realizes the way to achieve his dreams. In “Ready and Waiting to Fall” the “aha” moment has come, Micah is beginning to truly fulfill his dreams, and according to the song, “[he] can feel something different for the first time.” An upbeat, energetic song with gorgeous lyrics, “Ready and Waiting to Fall” draws a joyful picture of someone who is seeing life afresh, realizing all of the joy and newness that it holds for them, and coming out of darkness into the brilliant sunshine. The line “Heaven makes sense, and all the words rhyme” is simply one of the most beautiful lines Mae has ever penned. Poetic words, gorgeous guitars, this song has it all.
