Ready for the Real Life is the seventh album by German rock band Fools Garden, released in 2005. As it was recorded with a new line-up (except for singer Peter Freudenthaler and guitarist Volker Hinkel), the band's name was changed to Fools Garden. "Man of Devotion" was released as the first single. "Does Anybody Know?" and "Welcome Sun" were released as a double A-side. Fools Garden (until 2003 known as Fool's Garden) is a German musical group formed in 1991, initially named after Fool's Garden, an album recorded by Freudenthaler and Hinkel. Thomas Mangold, Roland Röhl and Ralf Wochele joined the band shortly afterwards and Once in a Blue Moon was released by the complete band in 1993. In 1995, the band released Dish of the Day which gained popularity in Europe and Asia as it included "Lemon Tree", the band's most successful single to date, reaching #1 in Germany and other countries.
