Songfacts®:

  • "Ready To Call" was inspired by a phone call frontman Murray MacLeod received late one night back in the mid-2010s. He explained that the communication lead to a dramatic Hollywood-type scene.

    "To this day the memory feels wildly surreal," the singer said. "I tried to make sense of it all by writing a song about it, whether or not I found any answers or any sense of closure is still up for debate but we love this song and it features one of my favorite choruses we've ever written."
