Boston founder Tom Scholz struggled with writing the band’s classic “We’re Ready” from the 1986 album ‘Third Stage’ for months before he finished it.
The song peaked at #9 on the ‘Billboard Hot 100.’ Tom talked about the difficulty he had while writing that song. He said, "'We're Ready" wasn't ready. I did the verse, I did the lead-in to the chorus, I got to the chorus and I tried to record what I thought it was going to be, and it just didn't work at all. I had to fight with that one for four or five months before I could finally turn that into a song. The favorite part of that song to me is still the church bells at the end when it's fading out. Those are actually Les Paul guitar, but it sounds like church bells, doesn't it? Agree with me, OK? Thank you."
