11 years has gone since Sko/Torp decided to stop after only 4 albums together. Now after solo projects, family and much more the duo has decided to start up again. It started again in the summer of 2004. Sko/Torp was invited to play at a big festival were they should play their hit from 1991 ”On A Long Lonely Heart”. The response was extreme positive and started it all over again.

Get Ready
Sko/Torp Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The sun ain't been getting on through to you
Now the winter's been long but you held out strong
Better set your mind on going down to where the sun is shining
I love it when you walk wiggling through the sand
Wanna eat with the eyes of mine it's all I'm thinking of
Baby you and me are gonna do just what we ought'a
We'll make love so fine in the sand beneath the water
Better get ready
Better get on the move
The sun is shining
Down on me and you
Better get ready
Ready for something new
Love is calling
From out beyond the blue
Now the sun is going down and we're sitting by the fire
And the man in the moon is looking gently down on you
I wanna stop the world I wanna set back time
'Cause you look so fine in the pale moonlight right here next to me
Ahh you hold my hand you're the taste of my sweet dreams
And if I ain't got you I dont know know how to make it through
Baby you and me are gonna do just what we ought'a
We'll make love so fine in the sand beneath the water
Better get ready
Better get on the move
The sun is shining
Down on me and you
Better get ready
Ready for something new
Love is calling
From out beyond the blue
The song "Get Ready" by Sko/Torp is a joyful tune that encourages one to embrace new beginnings and follow their heart. It begins with the singer addressing their lover, who seems a little down due to the long winter season. The singer suggests going down to where the sun is shining and taking in the beautiful scenery. The second verse sees the two sitting by a fire with the moonlight shining on them. The singer expresses their love for their partner and the importance they hold in their life.
The chorus establishes the main message of the song: to get ready for something new and embrace love, which is calling from "out beyond the blue." The song is upbeat and encouraging, with its catchy melody and positive lyrics. It seems to be a call to adventure and a reminder to cherish the ones you love.
One interesting fact about the song is that it was released in 1992, but it gained popularity in Europe only in 1994. It became a hit in Japan in 1995, and the album, "Avenue of Hope," was released in the United States in 1996.
Another interesting fact about the song is that it was remixed and re-released in 2005 by a German DJ, Alex Christensen. He titled the new remix "Du hast den schönsten Arsch der Welt" (You have the most beautiful ass in the world) and sampled the song's intro in the remix.
The song was also used as background music in the Danish film "Love and Rage" (1999) and the Norwegian film "Kjærlighetens Kjøtere" (1995).
Here are the chords for the song, if known:
Verse: C, F, Am, G
Chorus: F, G, C, Am, F, G
Bridge: Am, G, F, G, C, Am, F, G
Line by Line Meaning
Hey you look a little pale during the last few days
I've noticed that you've been looking pale lately
The sun ain't been getting on through to you
It seems like you haven't been getting enough sunlight
Now the winter's been long but you held out strong
Even though winter was tough, you managed to make it through
Better set your mind on going down to where the sun is shining
It would be good for you to take a trip somewhere sunny
I love it when you walk wiggling through the sand
I find it attractive when you walk on the sand, shaking your body
Wanna eat with the eyes of mine it's all I'm thinking of
I want to feast my eyes on you, that's all I can think about
Baby you and me are gonna do just what we ought'a
We are going to do what we know is right
We'll make love so fine in the sand beneath the water
We will have great lovemaking on the sandy bed below the water surface
Better get ready
You should start preparing for something
Better get on the move
You should get moving, take some action
The sun is shining
The weather is nice
Down on me and you
We are both able to enjoy the nice weather
Ready for something new
We are ready for a change in our lives
Love is calling
We are being called to experience love
From out beyond the blue
This love is coming from somewhere unexpected
Now the sun is going down and we're sitting by the fire
The sun is setting and we are sitting by a fire
And the man in the moon is looking gently down on you
The moon is shining above us and casting light on you
I wanna stop the world I wanna set back time
I wish I could freeze time and stay in this moment forever
'Cause you look so fine in the pale moonlight right here next to me
You look so beautiful in the moonlight, standing beside me
Ahh you hold my hand you're the taste of my sweet dreams
You holding my hand is like a dream come true
And if I ain't got you I dont know know how to make it through
I can't imagine life without you by my side
