Dream State - Are You Ready To Live [Official Music Video]

We started out with a plan to release a live music video for 'Are You Ready To Live?', but filming was cut short by the COVID-19 pandemic. We saw this as a chance to get creative and involve our dreamers with a collection of footage that exudes positivity and light.

Thank you to the Dreamers who sent in their clips and stories - you beautiful souls, we are forever grateful! They definitely brought a smile to our faces! 2020 has been a tough year for the world, but we hope this can bring a little happiness and connection to you too.
- CJ, Rhys, Aled + Jamwa

LYRICS:
It's easier said than done
Caught between right and wrong
Life is short though, you know?
Yeah!

Sometimes you've got to pick yourself up
You can't spend forever in that rut
Sometimes you've got to do it alone
When there's no one else to take the load
And bring you home
And bring you home

Sometimes it can get real hard
Spending most of those days in the dark
Life feels like it's pulling apart from the seams
And it seems like there's nothing

So what we gonna do with all that pain?
And what we gonna do with this path we have made?
And it's easy just to walk away
And wait it out, but I can't wait it out
Not anymore

I'll make this life mean something before I end up dead
I'll find the things that I love, let them kill me instead
We'll make it out of the trench
We'll fight our way to the end
No returns, no regrets

Tired and distraught
You've got to get up off of the floor
I know you are alone but honey, we all are
Can you hear life is calling?
Feel it under your skin
The unknown drawing you close, working its way within
It's been with us from the start
Shows its face through our hearts
So let us take a stand and speak for the ones, the ones who can't.

Are you ready to live?
Are you ready to live?
Are you ready to fight?

I'll make this life mean something before I end up dead
I'll find the things that I love, let them kill me instead
We'll make it out of the trench
We'll fight our way to the end
No returns, no regrets

It's easier said than done
Easier to sit than to run
Life is short and full of storms
Take the bull by the horns
And let's ignite that fire inside
Let's live our lives, live our lives
We've got to try, we've got to try

Are you ready for the ride?
Are you ready for the ride of your life?
We'll figure it out before we get out.
Yeah!
(Bring it home)
Sometimes you've got to pick yourself up
(Home)
You can't wait around for good luck
You've got to pull yourself together, ‘cause the hard times aren't forever.

Let's bring it home.
No returns, no regrets.

Really miss CJ, she has such incredible stage presence and showmanship. I hope she's doing ok these days and may one day continue making beautiful music.

[Leovold]

I miss CJ man, her voice, her energy, her lyrical content, her message. This song single handedly crushes anything they've released without her. Primrose Path will always be their best album to me.

[maximusaralieous]

CJ, your lyrics meant... Mean so much to me. Thank you, they still do. I hope you are happy and finding that meaning.

Much love

[itaipee]

CJ is amazing, really hope you recover and , face your demons, and keep making amazing songs

[deamonsoul]

I can’t help but feel bittersweet when I listen to this song. It has truly changed my life I listen to it every time I feel like life is getting hard or confusing and it reminds me why I made the choices I’ve made in the second half of my life but then I feel this intense sadness that it didn’t work for cj the way it did for me and I want so badly to tell her how much she means to me even though she doesn’t even know I exist she is quite possibly one of the most important people of my entire life her music has been my escape and inspiration and has truly gotten me through som really difficult times and straightened out so much confusion in my mind. Wherever you are CJ I truly love you for what your words have meant to me and my life
