Tomcraft began working as a DJ in Munich in 1994, shifting between techno and the emerging progressive trance style. The following year, he released his first track, “This Is No House”. He first met in Eniac in 1996, and the two immediately started producing music together, beginning with “Viva”. The same year yielded the track “Prosac”, but this did not achieve success until it was re-released in 2001.
2002 was also the year Tomcraft released “Loneliness”, a progressive vocal track that eventually reached #1 in the UK [1]. The financial success allowed him to found his own record label, Great Stuff Recordings, followed up in 2005 with Craft Music.
His song “Overdose” was featured in the 2003 movie Party Monster for its parallel theme of drug use to the Club Kids of New York City.
But he not only gained attention as a producer of various chart hits, he also established himself as an internationally requested Top DJ with unrivaled success since 1993.
This has been seen time and again with appearances in Germany at MAYDAY, LOVE PARADE, ENERGY, NATURE ONE and with an international following in the USA (NYC, Miami, San Francisco etc), Columbia, Australia, New Zealand, Japan and throughout Europe, from Istanbul to Estonia plus several appearances in the biggest UK clubs such as THE GALLERY, GODSKITCHEN, TANGLED or PROMISE.
The year 2004 will see TOMCRAFT as one of the busiest DJs around, playing tours in the US, ASIA and AUSTRALIA.
Being Munich label `KOSMO RECORDS' No1 seller, TOMCRAFT is responsible for numerous productions and chart hits. Together with his producer Robert Bormann aka ENIAC, TOMCRAFT has created hits such as "THE MISSION", "THE LORD" "THE CIRCLE" TV series .Others such as "SILENCE", "PROSAC", "OVERDOSE" and his latest U.K. number 1 hit "LONELINESS". In 2001 TOMCRAFT was also nominated for an ECHO AWARD in the category of best dance-act. In 2003 TOMCRAFT won 3 Germand Dance Awards for BEST ALBUM, BEST RADIO HIT and BEST DANCE TRACK. His Remix work is, with no doubt, one of the heaviest around and the list of Remix Projects is a never-ending story. BBE (7 days and one week), FUTURESHOCK (late at night), SIMPLE MINDS (spaceface), PET SHOP BOYS (flamboayn), DAVE GAHAN (bottle living) are just some of the heavily played remixes by TOMCRAFT.
Ready to Go
Tomcraft Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ready to go
You're weird, in tears, too near and too far away
He said, saw red, went home, stayed in bed all day
Your t-shirt, dish dirt
Always love the one you hurt
On the rooftop shouting out
Baby, I'm ready to go
I'm back and ready to go
From the rooftops shout it out
It's a crack, I'm back, yeah, I'm standing
On the rooftops having it
Baby, I'm ready to go
I'm back and ready to go
From the rooftops shout it out, shout it out
You sleep, too deep, one week is another world
(Big mouth), big mouth, (drop out), drop out
You get what you deserve
You're strange, insane, one thing you can never change
It's a crack, I'm back, yeah, I'm standing
On the rooftops shouting out
Baby, I'm ready to go
I'm back and ready to go
From the rooftops shout it out
It's a crack, I'm back, yeah, I'm standing
On the rooftops having it
Baby, I'm ready to go
I'm back and ready to go
From the rooftops shout it out, shout it out
Ready to go
Abused, confused, always love the one that
Hurt ya, hurt ya, hurt ya, hurt ya
It's a crack, I'm back, yeah, I'm standing
On the rooftops shouting out
Baby, I'm ready to go
I'm back and ready to go
From the rooftops shout it out
It's a crack, I'm back, yeah, I'm standing
On the rooftops having it
Baby, I'm ready to go
I'm back and ready to go
From the rooftops shout it out
It's a crack, baby, I'm ready to go
Baby I'm ready to go
Baby I'm ready to go
Baby I'm ready to go
Baby I'm ready to go
Baby I'm ready to go
Baby I'm ready to go
Baby I'm ready to go
Baby I'm ready to go
The lyrics in Tomcraft's song "Ready to Go" suggest a person who is experiencing a range of emotions - from feeling too close yet too far away, to being weird, in tears, sleep-deprived, abused, confused, and hurt. The singer is announcing that they have hit rock bottom and that it is time to come back up again. They want to let everyone know that they are back and they are ready to go from the rooftops. The verses may seem disconnected, but the chorus brings the song together, with the repetition of "Baby, I'm ready to go."
The lyrics are open to interpretation, but one possible explanation is that the song is about a person going through severe emotional turmoil. They feel overwhelmed and trapped, unable to escape their struggles. However, in the chorus, they express a determination to move forward and start anew, despite the damage they may have suffered. The line "Always love the one you hurt" can be seen as a message of self-acceptance and forgiveness. The singer seems to be singing to themselves and taking ownership of their actions, encouraging themselves to accept their flaws and move forward.
