	It’s quarter past three on New Year’s Eve But it could be any day from the last few years I've been skating on ice Fighting my vices, yeah I’ve been close to the edge More times than I could forget But today is the beginning of the end For every time I stole your light In amongst a drunken night Talking about our hopes and dreams Getting locked out without a key I've had enough of fleeting fun And lying about the things I’ve done I’m ready to be better now, better now I want to make it better now, better now I’m ready to be better now, better now I want to make it better now, better now And I'll always remember the first time we met You were with somebody else His name is on the tip of my tongue but I forget But that was then and somehow I’m the one that you're with now And I don’t want this love to ever end For every time I stole your light In amongst a drunken night Talking about our hopes and dreams Getting locked out without a key I've had enough of fleeting fun And lying about the things I’ve done I’m ready to be better now, better now I want to make it better now, better now I’m ready to be better now, better now I want to make it better now, better now And I poured my heart out into a coffee cup For every time I thought, I thought I fucked it up But that was then and somehow I’m the one that you're with now And I don’t want this love to ever end I’m ready to be better now, better now I want to make it better now, better now I’m ready to be better now, better now I want to make it better now, better now

about

Maddox Jones releases the uplifting ‘Ready To Be Better’ off his forthcoming debut album ‘Believe It’ out April 8th.

‘Ready To Be Better’ is song about the moment of awakening the desire within us to be better. It’s a song of redemption and wonder with a fabulous feel-good factor that celebrates the continual evolution of the human psyche.

“I remember picking up my guitar New Year’s Eve 2020 and I was in a place where I was pretty much sick of my own s**t. I decided to write a song about exactly where I was at that time. I looked at the time on my phone, took a deep breath and let the words pour out of me. "It's a quarter past 3 on New Year's Eve but it could be any day from the past few years I'm skating on ice, fighting my vices yeah." It's basically like an extrapolated version of waking up with a hangover saying, "I'm never drinking again". I felt like I'd let people down and I wanted to say sorry. Two years deep into Covid it feels relevant in a whole new way, I think we're all ready to be better.” - Maddox Jones
