00:00Hi, I'm Fletcher Kent and this is for Rolling Stones in my Room Series.
00:04We're here in the beautiful Damien Girard Studios in my home region of the Central Coast
00:08and this first song we're going to play is my newest single, going to play with the band.
00:11It's called Are You Ready?
00:12Are You Ready?
00:27Well I'm a day in a plan and my big plan ain't get old now
00:35Where I was heading I'm no longer heading now
00:41Lace up my shoes, feel my feet against the floor
00:46So I'll start walking, then I'll walk a little more
00:51And I'll sing, are you ready?
00:58Are you ready? The train's coming now
01:02And I'll sing, are you ready?
01:09Clean your head cause it's bouncing, come on down
01:19Well I'm a kid and I'm bored and I can't say that it is more
01:26Do I pay homage to the suckers of before?
01:30And if I take in a load, think my mom will understand
01:36And I'll come back to my hometown, plant my lips against the wind
01:41And I'll sing, are you ready?
01:49Are you ready? The train's coming now
01:53And I'll sing, are you ready?
02:00Clean your head cause it's bouncing, come on down
02:27Well I'm a push of a button from just blowing up the ride
02:33If I'm not running, I'm just waiting to collide
02:38But every step that I take now, oh I'll take and take one more
02:43Till I'm high up on that rock and my momma fucking roars
02:49I'll sing, are you ready?
02:55Are you ready? The sun's coming out
02:59And I'll sing, are you ready?
03:06Clean your head cause one day it's going down
03:11Are you ready?
03:18The sun's coming out
03:20And I'll sing, are you ready?
03:26Clean your head cause one day it's going down
03:43Are you ready?
03:48Clean your head cause one day it's going down
04:18You know, songwriting and the idea of a career
04:22and the points that you set for yourself that you want to get to
04:25and keep raising the standard all the time
04:28and when I sat down to write this song with Eric Jay
04:30who I've been making the record with, I just had this moment of like
04:33all I can do is be present in the moment, be grateful that I'm making music
04:38and alive and healthy and moving forward and receptive to creativity
04:45and ultimately open to the light, as the song's called.
05:05Oh I know
05:12Something wasn't right
05:21Oh I know
05:27I got swept up in the night
05:35I try to manage the panic
05:40With language I'm not sure how to use
05:50I pray the beauty will choose me
05:55Truly I get to do what I gotta do now
06:05Maybe it's something
06:13I just need to find
06:20Maybe it might be
06:27Open to the light
06:36When I'm gone
06:43Jumping in the light
06:51When I go
06:58It's too late to decide
07:06I try to manage the panic
07:11But dancing's just way too late
07:21I pray I'm making a way that I cherish
07:28It's feeling in my chest now yeah
07:37Maybe it's something
07:44I just need to find
07:52Maybe it might be
08:00Open to the light
08:25This is my last song.
08:26Thank you so much Rolling Stone for having me.
08:28I'm really, really stoked to play this series.
08:31This is a song called I'll Be.
08:32It's the first single I put out as Fletcher Kent late last year.
08:35And I've actually played it live in this room with a band before,
08:38but for today and for this series we're going to do it solo on piano.
08:47I won't be impatient, I won't be kind
08:50I won't fly spaceships, see the lights
08:54I won't make memories, I won't drink water
08:57I won't be ready, I won't have daughters
09:01I won't wake early, I won't sing yet
09:05I won't pull back when I'm not needed
09:09I won't breathe deeply, I won't look up more
09:12I won't stand upright when I stumble
09:16I won't be giving, I won't be grateful
09:19I won't love her, I won't stay faithful
09:23I won't make friends, I won't absolve you
09:27I won't die slowly when I want to
09:30I won't try yoga, I won't be in love
09:33I won't work out, I won't get buff
09:37I won't use diaries, I won't make plans
09:40I won't grow up, be a man
09:44Say yeah baby, Austin Powers
09:47I won't eat clean, take cold showers
09:51I won't be graceful in this daydream
09:54I'll give thanks to those who made me
09:57I'll stay young like my grandparents
10:01I'll grow old and tell my grandkids
10:04All I know, 2000s vintage
10:08I won't be careful, I won't be careless
10:11I'll make movies, I'll go dancing
10:14I'll write songs and people chant them
10:18I'll make love and I'll end war
10:21I'll be better than before
10:24I'll jump head first, I'll say fuck it
10:28I'll stop swearing, mom won't love it
10:31I'll stay close with my parents
10:34I'll squeeze tightly, I won't cherish
10:38I'll be happy like my brother
10:41Hold him near me, feed my water
10:44I'll say sorry, I'll keep trying
10:47I'll be honest, I'll be silent
10:50I'll find beauty in this bullshit
10:53I'll be present through the cool shit
10:57I'll stop fighting, it's not worth it
11:00I'll stop fighting, I'll have purpose
11:03I'll go faster, I'll go higher
11:06I'll be your best friend's messiah
11:09I'll get rich to throw a party
11:12I'll burn down the Illuminati
11:16I'll have sex, I'll stay focused
11:19I'll cry freely, I'll be broken
11:22I'll be a triumph, I'll be a failure
11:25I'll jerk off on all my haters
11:28I'll square up, I'll deserve it
11:31I'll get down until I've heard it
11:35I'll be tired, I'll be nothing
11:38I'll turn this life into something
11:41I'll go surfing in the dark
11:44I'll watch over Gabby's heart
11:47And I'll be brave when I'm scared
11:51Not to hurt this shit I've said
