1. Italo disco act from mid-80s by Ubaldo Zambelli

2. Reaching all the way back to Bob Dylan and the Band's pioneering blend of mythic Americana and shaggy rock & roll, alongside more recent points of comparison like Built to Spill, Modest Mouse, and My Morning Jacket, Roy (a band, not a dude) blend spiky post-Pavement indie rock with folk and country influences for a sound that's connected to the musical past but not beholden to it. For over a decade, singer and guitarist Brian Cook and drummer Dave Verellen were the mainstays of Botch, a Seattle post-hardcore act specializing in heavy riffs and showy time-signature shifts. Roy began as a side project in 2002, bringing Cook and Verellen together with singer and guitarist Ben Verellen and bassist Mike Cooper. Naming themselves after the small rural town near Tacoma, Roy debuted with 2003's Tacomatose EP, followed by 2004's Big City Sin and Small Town Redemption. Though Roy toured extensively behind their two records, the band went on a temporary hiatus while Cook and Ben Verellen turned their focus to another side project, the more Botch-like heavy math rockers These Arms Are Snakes. Roy reconvened in 2005 to write and record their second full-length album, Killed John Train, which was released by Lujo Records in the spring of 2006.

We Are Not Ready
Roy Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Palms raised up to the sky
I await the day we fly like you do
I know the reasons why
You've stayed away to hide the truth

We still fight for power
We don't feel we stand together
Our minds are in this world

We dont control our thoughts like you do

We are not ready
For what you bring to us
We are not ready
For what you offer us

If I stay away and hide
Search through our books in time
Will I find you
When you are in my dreams
Am I an abductee or a tool

Is there a meaning
Are we made of waves of light
Please I am waiting
Come and take me into the night

We are not ready
For what you bring to us
We are not ready
For what you offer us
Peace and prosperity
Long live and answers

Questions we've long asked of
We are not ready

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Roy's song "We Are Not Ready" delve into themes of longing, questioning, and the idea of readiness for something beyond our understanding. The opening lines, "Palms raised up to the sky, I await the day we fly like you do," evoke a sense of yearning and aspiration to reach a higher level of existence or understanding that seems unattainable at the moment. It suggests a desire to transcend our current limitations.

The lyrics hint at a presence or entity that has chosen to stay hidden, implying a knowledge or truth that has been kept from humanity. This entity is portrayed as having a level of control over their thoughts and actions that we as humans lack, highlighting a perceived disparity in power and awareness between us and this mysterious "you" being referred to in the song.

The repeated refrain, "We are not ready for what you bring to us, we are not ready for what you offer us," underscores the idea of unpreparedness and inadequacy in the face of the unknown. It suggests a reluctance or hesitance to accept the changes or revelations that this entity is said to offer, perhaps out of fear or a sense of unworthiness.

The lyrics further explore themes of seeking understanding and connection through dreams and introspection. The singer questions their own role in this cosmic puzzle, wondering if they are merely a subject to be studied or a tool to be used by this mysterious entity. The longing for answers and a deeper understanding of our place in the universe is palpable in lines like "Is there a meaning, are we made of waves of light, please I am waiting, come and take me into the night."

In conclusion, "We Are Not Ready" is a contemplative and introspective song that grapples with themes of power, readiness, and the unknown. It invites listeners to ponder their own readiness for what the future may bring, and to question their place in a universe that may hold mysteries beyond our current comprehension. The lyrics convey a sense of anticipation, uncertainty, and a yearning for connection and understanding that resonates with the human experience of grappling with the unknown and the unknowable.

So I do conflict mediation and I want to make a quick but important point here. Roy comes in to a charged room, where people are amped up and triggered by the earlier onfield event with Isaac. Their instinct is to continue to feed the stress and anxiety of the moment like sharks when they feel blood in the water.

By acknowledging it, pausing, relaxing in his chair and telling a relevant story he calms the room answers the question and changes the tone of the conversation. A masterclass in mediation.

“That’s none of my fucking business.”

One of my favorite lines in the whole series. I’d forgotten about the reporter’s humbled face afterwards, though, and holy hell is that a great cherry on top.

@Jallorn

What I love about that line is that what he really means is, "That's none of your fucking business," but he has the tact to phrase it that it's not his business, because that's true too. It's rare to see Roy as a man with tact, but it's nice to be reminded that it's more that he doesn't care about it most of the time, not that he's incapable of it.

@Thor-Orion

The third season was my favorite, they managed to pay off every long term storyline, keep the heart and soul of the show in tact, nail the balance between serious subject matter and humor, the football action sequences are by far the best of the series and are very viscerally rewarding. I can’t believe a lot of people apparently stopped watching after season 2, they missed the best part. Glad they did 3 seasons and kept the pacing perfect without trying to stretch out 3 seasons of material into 5 or 6 or however many they thought they could make to line their pockets. Another series proving that making the series the proper length for the story you want to tell is the right decision if you want your work to be timeless and artistically strong. Great series, great season. Well worth the time to watch it all.

@du_jammin21

9w↑1

I totally agree. Season 3 was superior in every way. Every episode was its own masterpiece.

@Thor-Orion

@@du_jammin21 I got my best friend into this show and we watched the third season together and after it ended we had a long discussion about how season 3 was perfect but we couldn’t agree if it was the best season or not because (and I thought he made a great point by saying this) he said “without the first two seasons building up to this and getting you to care so much about every single character the payoffs of the third season wouldn’t have meant as much.” There are great episodes in every season, and i don’t think the series has an episode I consider subpar, but for me the third season had the most emotional weight in every episode, really capped off the series in the best possible way.
Take care of yourself out there, friend. The world is a crazy place right now, which is one of the reasons I think this series was so perfect, it really made me feel human again after a few years of really crazy times.

Roy channeled Ted. Watch Ted respond to “old Trent” about the dog that Danny Rojas killed. Both turned the rabid press into mush. Rebecca would not have even considered Roy as Teds replacement after he blew off her request to do the press Conference earlier. Roy stepped up.

It finally occurs to me that this was most likely the same player Roy told Jamie about in season 1. They hated each other, and Roy said he hopes he's dead.

small detail on the quality of roy's character. in his story, he's a young man who makes a relatively innocent, albeit mean spirited, joke and is soundly beaten for it. the very next opportunity he has with the man who beat him badly, and young roy uses it to apologize rather than to exact his own revenge. the writing on this show is great at every depth of field. it's very impressive.

2nd or 3rd best scene of the whole series - Best Scene is the dart game between Ted and Rupert, half of life's lessons could be learned watching that one scene - pride, humility, love, belief in one's self, family, how to handle good and bad memories, heartbreak, how to win and lose graciously, respecting your elders and others, etc. This scene is where Roy, without knowing it, became the British Ted Lasso.

Yeah, right before the slap, Will Smith is laughing at the joke while Jada is fuming right next to him, that suggests one of two things to me:
