This is maybe the first song in my Life that I listen to everyday for weeks now. Maybe its not the intention of the song but the whole arc and the lyrics paints a portrait of the feeling when you are maybe addicted or in generally bad circumstances “It was february I was cold and I was high” and you say fuck this I am gonna change and you know you are going to because you want to live and not waste away but you also know its gonna be a storm and this is where the expressiveness of Joe’s voice really shines will this storm be a violent joy or something that I should fear it feels like something beyond good or bad but nonetheless monumental and unavoidable it’s gonna be the life you finally choose to live instead of inertia or fear. Also love the kind of anti climactic ending right before the storm comes also the music is exceptionally good. Maybe others feel differently but this is my read.
For me, the lyric "Are you ready for the storm?" alludes to the experience, or circumstance, of losing our loved ones. With that being said, lyrics are a subjective thing, so there's no 'right' or 'wrong' interpretation IMO.
Idk why but after hearing “are you ready for the storm,” for the 120th time, I really realized I wasn’t. Not a literal tornado or weather event, but the storm of life. I’m not doomed to not be ready, im just not ready right now. 7 days in a row of self improvement and hardening now without backsliding. Largely due to a realization from this song.
In our life, clarity comes in waves. We have choices. One is to dive under, the other is to swim above it. Tried both, failed twice. Maybe we 'll find another way as we grow.
Such a cinematic vibe to their performance. Done right, that phrase could serve as a backdrop during some sort of montage where a character descends into a fit of rage and eventual self-destruction.
This is incredible. Love how they are all holding it so delicately as it grows. Also how much they enjoy playing together. The vocal is impeccable. Love IDLES. Only heard them last year for the first time and been making up for it since.
This is such a fckn great opener for the album and any set. I hope you'll play it at Corona Capital the next November. Can't wait to see you again, my lads!! 🖤
Lyrics: It was February I was cold and I was high It was February I was cold and I was high He looked up He lost control He was de-gloved He was jelly rolled It was February I was cold and I was... high He wanted love He wanted soul There's not enough To make him whole It was February I was cold and I was high The swell of heaven on my dashboard I can see my spinal cord rip high Hey-hey-hey, hey It's raining glass, like a fever storm Every promise I have sworn tonight Hey-hey-hey The swell of heavеn on my dashboard I can see my spinal cord swing high High It's raining glass, like a fever storm Evеry promise I have sworn tonight High It was February I was cold and I was... high, high, high It was February I was cold and I was... Ready for the storm Are you ready for it? Are you ready for the storm? (Are you ready for the storm?) Are you ready for the storm, are you ready for it? Are you ready for the storm? (Are you ready for the storm?) Are you ready for the storm, are you ready for? Are you ready for the storm? (Are you ready for the storm?) Are you ready for the storm, are you ready for it? Are you ready for the storm? Are you ready for the storm, are you ready for it? Are you ready for the storm? (Are you ready for the storm?) Are you ready for the storm, are you ready for? Are you ready for the storm? Are you ready for the storm, are you ready for? Are you ready for the storm? Are you ready for the storm, are you ready for? Are you ready for the storm?
This is just a perfect piece of music. Since I discovered it, I've just been addicted to it. It can join my favorite song in life: "A day in the life" by the Beatles. Thanks, it was unexpected in 2022!
Sound engineering here is fantastic.

Didn't know, is he the same one of Radiohead? @@GreasyWop

you must rise and conquer in trancendental ruthlessness, then you´ll see the divine purpose in the impulse towards selfdestruction
cos we are ready for the storm )
This song is dark. Went looking for chords and found out what is was named after, then I re-read the lyrics. Good lord. Quite beautifully unpleasant.
this is the Putin's song
Loved this song from the moment it dropped, this version is perfect too. Probably my favourite song of all time ATM..
First time with good earphones. I cannot believe the ominous ambience of this song. Phenomonal band.
I don’t think there is a better band right now than these guys. Just saw in Brooklyn. Amazing.
Pure energy. Pure love. I love Joe, I love idles band
Crying over my whiskey while listen. Happy and sad at the same time.
This is incredible. Love how they are all holding it so delicately as it grows. Also how much they enjoy playing together. The vocal is impeccable. Love IDLES. Only heard them last year for the first time and been making up for it since.
What an incredible band.
Quanto mais ouço mais vontade tenho de voltar a ouvir❤
Best song for me right now.
Putin asking: are you ready for nuclear storm
Better than the studio/Album version... legendary mix!!
The way those guitars come in! Beautiful
Can’t love this enough-so creative.
Massive tribute 😉
What?! NO... Massive Attack - Teardrop!

My daughter just had a head a collision she is alive ,but this song
Really brings on the life questions, for day to day are we really ready.
Her attitude is extremely good for the life adventure she is on now .
Listening in February not quite ready for the storm 😃
I'm trying painfully to put the pieces of my head back together after this shovel in the forehead ... what a track ...
This is such a fckn great opener for the album and any set. I hope you'll play it at Corona Capital the next November. Can't wait to see you again, my lads!! 🖤
stunning.
To paraphrase Harry Bosch, you're either all in or not in at all.
Vibes. Absolute vibes.
Uuuunfassbar genial!
Perfect voice
My favorite band
This is superb. Amazing.
I'm listening to this in February.
The song and the way Joe put so much heaviness in this performance is for the basement or for us. Who knows
I cant get these guys out of my head 😊❤
Could this possibly be the best front man ever to exist? I think so Joe ❤️❤️
Lyrics:
It was February
I was cold and I was high
It was February
I was cold and I was high
He looked up
He lost control
He was de-gloved
He was jelly rolled
It was February
I was cold and I was... high
He wanted love
He wanted soul
There's not enough
To make him whole
It was February
I was cold and I was high
The swell of heaven on my dashboard
I can see my spinal cord rip high
Hey-hey-hey, hey
It's raining glass, like a fever storm
Every promise I have sworn tonight
Hey-hey-hey
The swell of heavеn on my dashboard
I can see my spinal cord swing high
High
It's raining glass, like a fever storm
Evеry promise I have sworn tonight
High
It was February
I was cold and I was... high, high, high
It was February
I was cold and I was...
Ready for the storm
Are you ready for it?
Are you ready for the storm? (Are you ready for the storm?)
Are you ready for the storm, are you ready for it?
Are you ready for the storm? (Are you ready for the storm?)
Are you ready for the storm, are you ready for?
Are you ready for the storm? (Are you ready for the storm?)
Are you ready for the storm, are you ready for it?
Are you ready for the storm?
Are you ready for the storm, are you ready for it?
Are you ready for the storm? (Are you ready for the storm?)
Are you ready for the storm, are you ready for?
Are you ready for the storm?
Are you ready for the storm, are you ready for?
Are you ready for the storm?
Are you ready for the storm, are you ready for?
Are you ready for the storm?
