When You're Ready by Kate Earl

I rarely listen to "pop" music... mainly because I'm only now coming out of an interesting phase of only listening to "indie" and "folk" music... but Kate Earl's smoky vocals make the upbeat feel and electronic instrumentals much more enjoyable.  (Put some pitch-corrected tweeny-bop idol on one of these tracks and you'd have to pay me to listen.)  Kate Earl's music is a cool blend of soul and fun.  Her lyrics are accessible and relatable and have an earnest simplicity that make listening a real pleasure. Her CD is thoroughly enjoyable. (iTunes) Here's the song "When You're Ready."  Check. it.

When You're Ready - Kate Earl

Lyrics

i’ll wait patiently

when the world

you’re caught up in fades

come to me

and you know i’m not holdin my breath

but you know how to find me

and you know there’s a knot in my chest

only you can untie me

when you’re ready for love

cause you know along

i’m the one that you wanted baby

all your reasons are wrong

now i know why you run

and i’m not leavin

before i got that you’re just lost

i used to think that i wasn’t enough

when you’re ready for love

cause you know all along

i’m the one that you want baby

you’re sane, safe with me

i hope that i’ve

shown you enough to believe

and you know i’m not holdin my breath

but you know how to find me

and you know there’s a knot

in my chest only you can untie me

when you’re ready for love

cause you know along

i’m the one that you wanted baby

all your reasons are wrong

now i know why you run

and i’m not leaving

before i got that you’re just lost

i used to think that i wasn’t enough

when you’re ready for love

cause you know all along

i’m the one that you want baby

it’s never too late to put the past away

it’s never too late to quit the masquerade
