‘I can say I hope it will be worth what I give up’ has been like a mantra for me at times of change. I’ve actually found it really comforting. This album is probably one of my top three favourites ever.
Alt was going strong back then. So many good bands. At least it seems like they are all making something new again. Well, a lot of them from that time are.
This shit is timeless... I was fuckin 16 when I first heard Santigold... Now am 31 and realizing that her music took a crucial part of my life since is still as relevant to me as it was 15 years ago... Thank you Santigold!
As a fact, art is generally underrated by those evil ones in the power, but far from appearence, art cannot go unseen, every one of us can appreciate it, no matter what they lead us to believe
Damn this song is fresh! Timelessness is the hallmark of genius. This song is genius. I'm 59 and it takes me back to the years what I gave up wasn't worth giving up.
I remember when I first saw it on MTV so many years ago... now I've got 2 kids and this song still makes me feel good. I try to never forget these times.
I never really thought about this🤔 What are some of the other ones? Off the top of my head I’d say something like “the pixies, where is my mind” or “the cure, disintegration”🤷♂️
@@SOCCERNUT32 bjork yes, yes, yes her voice is captivating! But Ducan Sheik?? I'm having some difficulty putting that band in with Santi or Bjork... unless I'm missing something? 🤔
My mom won a Zune, if anyone remembers those, on the radio in 2008 and this song was on it when she got it. I was 13. I'll be 21 next month. Time fliesssssss.
I know this comment is kinda old but I remember those! Didn’t even think about them until reading your comment. That’s so cool this song was on there already.
This song is a gem. It never got played on the radio where i live. I only knew it from 1 of the nhl games. Its so nostalgic to me now and will never lose its value to me. It always makes me feel a heavy feeling of calm and nostalgia every time and it never fades.
I cry when I hear this song. Happy tears. The summer this album dropped was one of the most amazing times in my life. That friend group, we’ve sadly lost so many but I cherish that summer. Time flies but it’s beautiful with her music
Check out her songs the keepers and desperate youth if you haven't, she's absolutely amazing. Love her voice!! She could jingle a tooth paste commercial and it would be great❤️❤️
Very cool, when we invent for ourselves to fill in the blanks where we aren’t sure of, and then we later learn that we were somehow compelled to give just a little of our own artistic creativity in our desire to complete those lyrics for ourselves instead of leaving any parts out, no!?! And then, sometimes, we contribute on a much grander scale meanwhile refusing to believe that we invented anything, forever insisting that we heard it. I honestly believe that’s just what that lyric is all about! If she put the line we swore we heard, which is of the greater value or utility? The great lyric she sang?! or the inspiration that came to us that compelled us to put what we heard her sing?!
This is a track that is an absolute all time classic. I remember when it first dropped and I’ve been listening to it ever since. Santigold writes masterpieces.
Hands Down one of the greatest songs from the 2000's... As a New Yorker that understood the struggles of being an artist in the LES I relate to this 1000%
Holy crap, I'm in love with this song. I heard it on 17 Again, and I was trying to find it. Until I went to my cousin's house and played Band Hero...I've loved it ever since..
My best friend at the time showed me this song after she posted it on her MySpace when we were 15/16. Reminds me of when we use to take the Redline to Chinatown on Fridays/Saturdays & would listen to this - with one headphone each.

I just messaged my old highschool friend this song reminds me of. Were not friends, but were "friends". But I miss the good ol days and its a good enough excuse to reach out over. Music is great like that. Well, good music.
We live life for the moment. But more, we live life for the memories. And good friends give us those two most important pieces of life. The time spent with those friends is a life long treasure.
I saw this video one time in 2008 while on vacation with family, the image of Santi in white on the black horse has been engraved in my brain ever since! Absolutely love this song and visuals ❤️
This song was ahead of its time.
🫡
about 15 years ahead of its time!
@@SleepyT23I listen to this now 10 times a day 😂

She was 8 years ahead...this sound is still amazing
Listen the track 'December's Boudoir'(1968) by the Bronx child prodigy and genius, Laura Nyro, still ahead of its time, and music as art.
Kanye in 'Glory' samples Nyro, as have many other rap artists. Also check out Nyro with LaBelle (of Lady Marmalade) on the track 'Gonna Take a Miracle'.
That's crazy. 9:47
if something is good, is good for years
Just take a look of her background and resume. She knows the stuff !!
She´s amazing !
Why aren’t artists like this more popular?
Labels like predictable. A black girl making experimental pop is too far out of expectations. Maybe those dorks thought this is hard to sell.
Because she doesn’t play the game like all those sell out hacks
Cus of the way the systems are set up
@ up with which they are set. Never end a sentence with a preposition.
Have you heard what's popular? It's trash. Be thankful you found a rare gem.
Wow, I completely thought this was a Tegan & Sara song for the past 15 years. Thanks the the 17 Again resurgence for sorting this out for me.
Hahaha! 17 Again is how I rediscovered this song for the first time in over a decade!
I literally just learned today that this was NOT Tegan & Sara. I’m so glad I’m not the only one.😮
‘I can say I hope it will be worth what I give up’ has been like a mantra for me at times of change. I’ve actually found it really comforting. This album is probably one of my top three favourites ever.
Don't know what you're giving up, but you are worth it ❤
I used to listen to this before missions in Afghanistan. Fundamentally similar reason.
You’re a Legend, keep your head up
its always worth what is given up
This is still my "I don't know what is coming but trust myself to survive it" song.
2020 and i still play this everyday. timeless song.
It only makes more sense.
Same. And yes makes more sense now than ever.
It's never enough
Good tunes are good tunes. It brings us in. The sound is beautiful, complex, and pleasing. ♥️
Me too
NHL 08 brought me here all those years ago, still loving it now 👌
07 08 NHL l and NFL led me to some random goodies😊
For sure
Santigold is pure gold
There is no better feeling than finding your new favorite song
Good god, take me back. This was such a good time for music.
I think it's always a good time for music... it's just harder to find new favorites when uninspired or otherwise out of a good head space
Yup. 2008-2012 was awesome.
Alt was going strong back then. So many good bands. At least it seems like they are all making something new again. Well, a lot of them from that time are.

This video is pure art. I've always loved it. Completely underrated song.
Underrated artist, in general, unfortunately. ❤
I see as a metaphor of all the garbage and propaganda the media tortures us with.
this music video is a homage to a part of the film, The Holy Mountain (1973), although, a warning, the film is not for the faint hearted.
As a fact, art is generally underrated by those evil ones in the power, but far from appearence, art cannot go unseen, every one of us can appreciate it, no matter what they lead us to believe
I had been looking for this song for more than 10 years, I had forgotten the name :'D couldn't be happier...
dang. i forgot how much i love Santi.
@v_gan who are you?
Damn this song is fresh! Timelessness is the hallmark of genius. This song is genius. I'm 59 and it takes me back to the years what I gave up wasn't worth giving up.

The holy grail of songs for us introverts

why am i discovering her so late ?! All her songs are listened to give me eargasms
+Ultimate TimeTraveler Welcome to the club, friend.
+Ultimate TimeTraveler EXACTLY? WHY I AM DISCOVERING HER NOW? LOVE THE SOUND!

same HEAR!!!! lol
She probably didn't get the promotion, press and exposure she deserved for her talent..

Merci Nova ❤
That's too cool.
This is, and has always been my favorite song by her.
I am obsessed with this song! How the hell has it been out this long and I only just heard it for the first time in Feb. of this year?!
love your JtHM pic :)
I found this song a few years ago. I was bored and I was looking around on Comcast On Demand under music and Electronica/alternative.
This song is a gem. It never got played on the radio where i live. I only knew it from 1 of the nhl games. Its so nostalgic to me now and will never lose its value to me. It always makes me feel a heavy feeling of calm and nostalgia every time and it never fades.
In which NHL game was this in?? I've been playing that since NHL94 every year and never noticed!!
Years later this song still gives me liiiiiffffeee
So cool.
these two back dancers were fire
One of them is my narcissistic ex’s cousin 😆
She's an awesome artist...thank you santigold for steppin out of the box and being true to yourself.
This is art
Way ahead of its time.
Way away
I cry when I hear this song.
Happy tears.
The summer this album dropped was one of the most amazing times in my life.
That friend group, we’ve sadly lost so many but I cherish that summer.
Time flies but it’s beautiful with her music
It’s 2022 and I am just now hearing this. She’s so freaking amazing!
She never gets old
Check out her songs the keepers and desperate youth if you haven't, she's absolutely amazing. Love her voice!! She could jingle a tooth paste commercial and it would be great❤️❤️
Music is great that way. Its brand new whenever it first makes an impression on you. (And the best part is they're all made for you)
And now you have a wonderful new album to explore. What brought you to Santigold?
Glad you made it! Now go listen to the rest of Santogold (please)😁
One of the most epic Santigold songs and videos of all time.... when artists change the world...
It's 2019 and I'm still enjoying this song!

this song is so fucking good
I feel you
Mmmhmm
limedust it's fucking awesome.
Couldn't agree more. She is great
❤
This song gives me chills ♥
alot of her songs do that 😊
So universal true. Depends where ure from. Big respect for ur voice Santigold. This is real art.
Left nyc / les just as the wave was breaking and "that" element was moving in. She brings me back.
I found Santigold YEARS ago listening to MIA at work on pandora. I’ve been hooked since. Still loving her in 2023!
Heard this song 6 years. And I finally found it.
same here
This song is so badass
2015 and still one of the best songs of all time

2021 now-
Very cool song with a cool messege
This sound still sounds like next year. Timeless. This song put me onto her. So glad my life hasn't been the same since.
Rediscovered her today... fabulous.
this song feels so complementary to gwen stefani’s “what you waiting for?” . both have this vulnerable and hopeful approach, very raw and beautiful.
where has musix like this gone...

I just discovered her as an artist after having a few of her songs in my playlist for years and I'm OBSESSED
I seen Santigold live in concert at the Crystal Ballroom in Portland, Oregon years ago.....awesome live vocals!
Her debut album had a Cinematic 80's feel. This could've came out in 1984 with all the new wave artists of that era.
Yup, I’m hearing Missing Persons, Til Tuesday, Cindy Lauper. Also hearing Garbage & Butch Vig. Love it!
@@moreld1 yep, heard it while working and thought this was Dale Bozzio until I played the video over..
She's Gorgeous
This song takes me back to a simpler time....this was the first song i ever heard from her...then I dug more deep into the catalog... fantastic..
ahead of its time...
About one of the best music videos ever made, original, surreal and cinematic, and a really great tune that still sounds so fresh.
Chris Bridgeman righttt??
well, it’s a rendition of a scene from the Holy Mountain by Jodorowsky
It is inspired by the Neptune vignette from Holy Mountain

+Jeremy C
2 man drinking hockey night at my buddy's place.. drove home and immediately looked for Santigold.. been digging ever since
yep nhl 08 wicked soundtrack
The music business needs more strong female artists like her. Tough woman.
And Mia both 2000’s artist way ahead of their time
Yes but the business tries to destroy them. Mia famously dated Diplo back then and he almost broke her.
I don't think anyone has taken a beating like Rihanna though.
Tough, anD Soft, she's a truE QuEen!!! 👑
I've been looking for this song so many years! Best day ever!
Saw Santigold for the first time in San Francisco in 2012. I am still listening to her today (currently in Kufstein).
This seems so freaking modern, can't believe it's 16 years old.
This song!!! Here in 2024!!!
This song is SOOO good
Thanksgiving 2022. What a masterpiece song.
Wow!... stumbled on this song in a random youtube playlist... totally forgot about it, but its a great song!
I'm the kid of an LES artist and this song has carried me far
What an absolute treasure.
it can't have been 16 years, can it? damn.
We old dawg. 🎉
Stunning video
beside the fine song..these dancers mae funny moves ..
This takes me back to simpler times. Credz to my big sis for always introducing good music.
We've been on a santigold trip for a few months. So under appreciated by the main
This just may be one of the best songs ever made, or is :).
Agreed 🤗
@That's Not My Name a great Dj
Disturbing video but I love the sound. Reminds me of Missing Persons and you have a voice like Dale Bozzio. I love it!!

Recuerdo está canción hace doce años sonando por MTV cuando no pasaba toda la basura que hoy transmiten.
Tengo cuadernos en los que tengo anotados las veces que pasaban este video en VIDEORAMA y en el CLIC
In the spirit of listening to Santi's excellent *Spirituals,* I was compelled to revisit '08 and hear her first inspired work.
Ok, I’m intrigued. Love to hear her thinking n this.

A true classic in my opinion
One of my all time favorite's. Thank you for sharing your art!
I have only just recently discovered Santigold . Soooo diggin her unique sound and style . This song is just plain .... catchy rad!
Aged like fine wine for sure. Haven't heard this in over 5 years.
Does she have a song that isnt an absolute Banger Hit?! Even the NPR tiny desk acoustic session cranks!
