Montage

Liner Notes
Sometimes, you lean into the meta. Especially when you’re trying to inspire your own training montage.
Lyrics
Are you ready? Is your headband on tight? ‘Cuz that’s the only way you’re gonna take this fight Deadline’s coming closer, moment’s in your sights Square your shoulders, time to get to work tonight
It’s a montage, doing what it takes Time flying by causes muscle aches It’s a montage, put the effort in By the end of the song, you’ll be ready to win
Put your game face on, need to look intense Can’t you see the pressure’s gonna be immense? Dedication now is your best defense This is your moment, don’t stay on the fence
It’s a montage, doing what it takes Time flying by causes muscle aches It’s a montage, put the effort in By the end of the song, you’ll be ready to win
Coach in your corner, whistle ready to blow Keeping your training moving with gusto Adding their expertise to the things you know So when the match starts, you can put on a show
It’s a montage, doing what it takes Time flying by causes muscle aches It’s a montage, put the effort in By the end of the song, you’ll be ready to win
(Some sort of dramatic synth or guitar solo has to happen here)
Mix up your motions, really light the fire Break open your punching bag, flip that tire Sprint up the hill, follow the path higher Show them you’re ready, you’re a real live wire
It’s a montage, doing what it takes Time flying by causes muscle aches It’s a montage, put the effort in By the end of the song, you’ll be ready to win
It’s a montage, doing what it takes Time flying by causes muscle aches It’s a montage, put the effort in By the end of the song, you’ll be ready to win
I can hear the synths instantly from the first line! “are you ready? Is your headband on tight?” is such a good start - a question, a call to action, an immediate placement in time and genre. I love this - great lyrics. Will it help me do what it takes to get my work done this afternoon? I hope so
