Santigold was one of best "indie" musicians a few years back. It is damn near criminal she didn't get better recognition. That's alright. Some of us heard her. I hope she knows how good she is.
I don't know if people will see this. I'm a 35 year old chef. I love what I do but my job is incredibly high pressure. Lots of decisions, lots of responsibilities, just lots... but I love it, it's a weird relationship, really. I've had quite a month of recipe development and I'm a wreck. This song came up at random and it just hit me in the feels and started tearing up. I've never heard of this song or Santigold for that matter. I've been struggling with depression my whole life and the lyrics "we set our dreams to carry us and if they don't fly, we will run" rang really true in my head. Just wanted to share this, maybe someone will get it. Love y'all.
I love it when someone makes a casual comment, I think they're saying what's really on their mind, and your story is similar to mine. Greetings from Yemen 🇾🇪🤍.
If I had to choose one song to listen to indefinitely, it would be this one. I cannot fully express the emotions it stirs within me, it has been with me through the toughest and most beautiful moments. Even now, in 2024, I'm astounded by how one song can encapsulate the entirety of my essence. Love you Santigold.
I agree! I think this is a feel good song and I've been reading about feel good songs, basically, I would say they produce serotonin rather than say, dopamine.
this has to be one of the most overlooked songs of the past few years, i mean it holds a higher standard musically AND lyrically, then again santigold seems to be a name that just doesnt exactly get out to people and become popular itself even if she creates great music that hits the radio, it doesnt seem to stick with the general people for some reason. shes unique and has made great music for years and deserves a little more recognition i think.
***** well indie doesnt mean hipster, an example of that would be the yeah yeah yeahs first album was indie but not exactly hipster as much as just urban people enjoyed it but ya i know what you mean. and no it is DEFINITELY not indie, its also not pop, i would say its extremely alt. but her older stuff wasnt like this. it was definitely more just plain rock or alt rock. had much stronger indie vibes.
@@jemangedupain. man I gotta find out what that's called. Wish there were more songs and artists as great as this out there. I've been searching for months but so far no luck
This song always makes me cry. It always makes me realize that life isn't endless and that hurts so much. We think we are bulletproof but actually our whole life and everything is very fragile.
@@allwaysthinktwice we live on in the memories of our friends & loved ones, but not after that, I think, so optimize for that. Make a good impression. Be memorable, hopefully in a good way, of course.
Lyrics: “Don't look ahead, there's stormy weather Another roadblock in our way But if we go, we go together Our hands are tied here if we stay Oh, we said our dreams will carry us And if they don't fly we will run Now we push right past to find out Oh, how to win what they all lost Oh ah, oh ah We know now we want more Oh ah, oh ah A life worth fighting for Oh ah, oh ah We know that we want more Oh ah, oh ah A life worth fighting for So let them say we can't do better Lay out the rules that we can't break They wanna sit and watch it wither Their legacy's too hard to take Oh, we said our dreams will carry us And if they don't fly we will run Now we push right past to find out Oh, how to win what they all lost Oh ah, oh ah We know now we want more Oh ah, oh ah A life worth fighting for Oh ah, oh ah We know that we want more Oh ah, oh ah A life worth fighting for In their heads, hedging their bets In their eyes it shows When the beacon breaks, what then?

"they want to sit and watch IT whither" "We pushed right past to find out, HOW TO win what they all lost" "...stand beneath me, oh ah oh ah, FROZEN TO THE CORE"
Man, growing up as a black alt kid in an era when that WAS NOT mainstream or anything close to common, she was my north star. Her and James Spooner built a lot of who I am today.
I was looking 4 years for this song... Today I heard it on the radio for the first time in ages and almost drove into a tree when I was opening Shazam in panic. Well, it was worth it. EDIT: OMG, all these likes during the years! YT didn't notified me about any of this, wtf, thanks! And no, don't worry, I was alone on the street, no one but me was endangered😂
HellmotherEva I heard this song playing in a store. Never heard it but loved it so much. Ran to the car park to get my phone to Shazam it. Luckily Shazam worked on the last 5 seconds of the song.
Fml, I hate when that happens!!! Whenever I’m getting close to a light I’m like, “come the fuck on stupid light turn red!!!”” So I can concentrate and it picks up the song better at a stop.
Ummmmm...... I can't even put Nelly Furtado and Kelis in the same plane of existence to be brutally honest. But hey, we definitely agree on M.I.A. and Santigold! Bit, content quality is RUN by Santi and MIa!
I first heard this song in an inpatient rehab. I was there for two years, and this song really helped me realize the difference between being alive and really living.
Ur Words...Profound and so concise that there gravity is probably lost in this distracted World ☹️ when that should be a Daily Mantra, wish you well ✌🏽
I hear in Santi's voice the persona of an idealized mother. It's like she's providing musical therapy for those who haven't got the clear-sighted, realistic, reassuring, affectionate and strong presence of a mother. I don't know why it hits me like this but it does.
upsets me beyond belief that it is January of 2020 and I am hearing this for the first time. thanks alot FM radio, go ahead and play Guns and Roses another 1600 Tillion times and not allow this on the airwaves.
"Can't throw nothing in our way..." I'm currently fighting very hard trying nothing to become homeless in San Francisco. My husband died, my life disappeared... I don't know where it went ... But when I listen to this song, I start to feel like myself again.
TBF, Santigold herself is an artist who transcends genre preferences, and has expressed irritation before when people try to pigeonhole her with their own expectations: Her early stuff with Stiffed is straight-up punk, and it's excellent too, while still bearing her distinct fingerprint.
agreed. it feels very 80s in the best sense of the phrase. boll is right in that the vid reminds us of Rio by Duran Duran. The the drum loops, synths, etc are all 80s.
I remember playing Forza Horizon when I first heard this song and got addicted to it. 8 years later I’m half way through college and still listening. Life is crazy
Hi Santigold, i am a punkrocker and unfortunately i only discovered your music a year ago. But now I listen to it every day =) It's damn good music, so different styles and so good!
I constantly search out of my comfort zone for musicians that I like to listen to. So I randomly come across this song, loved it immediately, and decided to listen to more Santigold. I have not been disappointed.
This song always used to come on while I played this basketball game as a kid. I never forgot it, one of the best songs I’ve ever heard in a video game and it so happened to be in a 2k basketball game, i never realized then but I was having the time of my life while listening to this banger. I can’t and won’t ever forget the feeling this song gave me when I played that game when I was younger
God, I swear I heard this song and like it sorta brings some memories but... Like none but it just idk. I just get a really weird feeling when listening to it. Like never heard it yet I know it well.
So underrated and overlooked. Lyrically this song sings to my soul. Its one of few songs that make me so happy yet somber at the same time. This is art. This is expression. 🙌💕
Am 24 years old now and this song relates even more than ever. I remember when it came out and was all over my spotify. I can't leave it. I wanna believe her everytime she says "But if we go, we go together"...
A song that found me when I was about 15, when I was the weird kid not listening to the mainstream stuff. I’m 23 now and I believe this sort of music helped me think and become the person I am today
Omg same. I was about 13 when this song came out and I was developing a whole new personality, getting into indie tumblr stuff etc., being the weird kid in the first year of HS. This song and Grimes' Genesis (both from 2012) probably had a huge impact on my life
Tem muita música boa por aí gente, essa é uma delas, ela tem uma leveza única, e esses riffs da guitarra ao final de cada frase dela durante os versos são sensacionais, e que voz gente, que voz incrível, linda demais!
This was once one of mine and My girlfriend’s Favorite songs . We used to sing it together. We have since broken up , but Every once in a while I’ll listen to this Song AS it has become MORE RELEVANT NOW then it Was BACK THEN given the Lyrics. And when I hear it I often Want To reach out to her send this Song to her , but that’ll be too much . I’ll just keep it to myself & keep that can of worms closed . It’s been a While but I do still miss her from time to time .
I just had that problem typed in Santiago 🤣🤣🤣 Damn it that's not it luckily I still had it in 2 yr old text msg when my coworker told I'd like this one😂

It's because she is not controlled by the media
+Fearless Clan Agreed, when I first heard this song, I fell in love and added it to my "Alternative" playlist.

I cannot explain the way I connect with this song, but it's a great sensation.

I don't know how else to say it, but this is one of THE indie/alt songs of it's decade.
Get em shy ronnie
It is definitely a song of all time
Lyrics:
“Don't look ahead, there's stormy weather
Another roadblock in our way
But if we go, we go together
Our hands are tied here if we stay
Oh, we said our dreams will carry us
And if they don't fly we will run
Now we push right past to find out
Oh, how to win what they all lost
Oh ah, oh ah
We know now we want more
Oh ah, oh ah
A life worth fighting for
Oh ah, oh ah
We know that we want more
Oh ah, oh ah
A life worth fighting for
So let them say we can't do better
Lay out the rules that we can't break
They wanna sit and watch it wither
Their legacy's too hard to take
Oh, we said our dreams will carry us
And if they don't fly we will run
Now we push right past to find out
Oh, how to win what they all lost
Oh ah, oh ah
We know now we want more
Oh ah, oh ah
A life worth fighting for
Oh ah, oh ah
We know that we want more
Oh ah, oh ah
A life worth fighting for
In their heads, hedging their bets
In their eyes it shows
When the beacon breaks, what then?
You ask and they don't know
Oh tell me that
I turn my back well the odds all stand beneath me
And they all said I was misled
But now the odds all stand beneath me
Oh ah, oh ah
They're frozen to the core
Oh ah, oh ah
A life worth fighting for
Oh, we said our dreams will carry us
And if they don't fly we will run
Now we push right past to find out
Oh, how to win what they all lost
Oh ah, oh ah
We know now we want more
Oh ah, oh ah
A life worth fighting for
Oh ah, oh ah
We know that we want more
Oh ah, oh ah
A life worth fighting for
We hear them run, but don't hear what you say
Now here we come, can't throw nothing in our way
We hear them run, but don't hear what you say
Now here we come, can't throw nothing in our way”
Should be:
"We know now we want more,
A life worth fighting for"
Thanks
"they want to sit and watch IT whither"
"We pushed right past to find out, HOW TO win what they all lost"
"...stand beneath me,
oh ah oh ah,
FROZEN TO THE CORE"
No disrespect, some of the lyrics you wrote don’t match the song.
Santigold is a slept on legend. She high key ushered in whole new sound that’s brings back so many good memories. Soundtrack to my teen years. ❤❤

Right? Just had a flashback to this song from 10 years ago, and it still hits hard.

lost my mother early in life and when this song came out it hit me like that as well.. soothing and energetic
Agreed totally. She has a toughness and strength but no coldness; it's not 1 dimensional at all.

Hi Santigold, i am a punkrocker and unfortunately i only discovered your music a year ago. But now I listen to it every day =)
It's damn good music, so different styles and so good!
This song is officially 10 years old.
Never thought I’d still be alive now.
No one did
Me too
literally🤣. i remember when Direct Line used this song in their adverts
Maybe we aren't...gone together...carry on
I was much cooler back then...
i feel like this song perfectly captures the sound+aesthetic of the early 2010s idk...
You get that 2010 vibe same goes for Katey parry songs
Absolutely! What d'you think of this one? ua-cam.com/video/uYLBP3B0uM0/v-deo.html
It was a great era in music
The song doesn't have the words "Tonight" or "Club" in the lyrics so it's not much of an early 2010s song
Late 2010’s music sucked compared to early 2010’s
I was 15 when I came across this song,I’m 25 now and it’s sounds as refreshing as ever
we went from disparate youth to disparate adult
I was 54 lol about to be 56

Isn't it ironic how it was the year the world was supposed to end, but it ended up being a great year! And a year we wish we could have back lol.
2012 is the fckn worst year

Love this song. I have no idea where I first heard it or why, it's totally not the sort of music I normally listen to, but it's fabulous ❤️
Love the infusion of drub n bass and 80s keyboards and African backing vocals and indie style vibe all mixed into one amazing tune
…And the reggae piano chords and probably another 10 genres I’ve missed! Genius
That is more a dubstep beat than drum.
@@dragomirdosen3964 and that's why it reminds me of
Mt. Eden - Sierra Leone
Also a really beautiful track
@@dragomirdosen3964nahh this doesn’t sound anything like dubstep. have you ever even heard of dnb before!?
It’s definitely more of a dubstep beat. Not Dnb
I honestly think this song should be in a movie
isabelisaloser it's on Vampire Diaries
Like in a good movie
isabelisaloser when i make a movie one day you'll here it
this song can make a movie
isabelisaloser atleast it's in many games
For some reason this song brings back memories. I just don't know which memories. It's THAT kind of song. It makes me feel nostalgic
right, I'm sitting here contemplating my life while listening to this song,
+Sadiq Araye I thought it was just me this is that feel good music
+Hailey B. yeah same, it's weird...
same omg
I only discovered this song a few days ago and it makes me sober high like no other song ever
I can't stop listening to this, day after day, year after year, this is just pure and perfect music, well done Santigold!!!
A lot of authenticity in Santigold’s music and style. She can really hold a listener.
Omg just discovered this!!!! Blows my mind. You know when you feel something when you hear an amazing song?!
This song always used to come on while I played this basketball game as a kid. I never forgot it, one of the best songs I’ve ever heard in a video game and it so happened to be in a 2k basketball game, i never realized then but I was having the time of my life while listening to this banger. I can’t and won’t ever forget the feeling this song gave me when I played that game when I was younger
ive been a fan of Santigold for a long time, but to see the face that goes with the voice. She is so beautiful
Shoutout to the young folks teaching us how a revolution really rolls out. This elder millennial is grateful for y'all.

would listen to this on my 6 am runs in cross country in the desert, you should see how scenic it was
That would have been awesome
+Omar Zepeda please gopro this run with this song on it and link it to me
This woman is strikingly beautiful
Still one of the best songs everrr
God, I swear I heard this song and like it sorta brings some memories but... Like none but it just idk. I just get a really weird feeling when listening to it. Like never heard it yet I know it well.
Dudr this makes no sense im sorry lol
This song was my jam a couple a years back.
Nostalgia :)
Duuuude!! Must be the back sound! Haha same here!
BartFart you watch too much tv man!
2024….this song is sooo slept on….summer party vibes! Song feels free!
One of my favourite go to tracks, very meaningful
Life’s short and it is ‘worth fighting for’............never give up beautiful people
Love & peace
So underrated and overlooked. Lyrically this song sings to my soul. Its one of few songs that make me so happy yet somber at the same time. This is art. This is expression. 🙌💕
Thank you direct line, this is now stuck in my head...
ikr right it has the most catchy tune to me after 7 months and still cant get rid of the beat xD
It's stuck in my head for the wrong reason.
This is a masterclass of songwriting honestly. The lyrics are so solid and they relate to so many people in so many facets of life.
One of the greatest tracks to be on 2k16.
fax 💯
Philly represent too...love this girl

Humble World this song always came on when I was on 21 😂😂😂
Bad_vibes_gaming avant-garde!
All these years later and this still gives me chills.
I just randomly remembered this Song existed. Pure bliss, hella bop.
Am 24 years old now and this song relates even more than ever. I remember when it came out and was all over my spotify. I can't leave it. I wanna believe her everytime she says "But if we go, we go together"...
I'm 35 now 😭😭
And I’m 47. So we all run together
I cannot get over how beautiful this is, it's GOLD. Timeless, gorgeous, so elegant.
A song that found me when I was about 15, when I was the weird kid not listening to the mainstream stuff. I’m 23 now and I believe this sort of music helped me think and become the person I am today
16 and true
@@aidinlayne you are on the right path musically
Most UNDERRATED comment
Omg same. I was about 13 when this song came out and I was developing a whole new personality, getting into indie tumblr stuff etc., being the weird kid in the first year of HS. This song and Grimes' Genesis (both from 2012) probably had a huge impact on my life
@@goeko2000 I'm 53 and I've loved every minute of her music also... Grimes Genesis is a perfect tune
"Oh they said our dreams will carry us
And if they don't fly, we will run"
Miss you so much Jeremiah James❤❤❤
Tem muita música boa por aí gente, essa é uma delas, ela tem uma leveza única, e esses riffs da guitarra ao final de cada frase dela durante os versos são sensacionais, e que voz gente, que voz incrível, linda demais!
THIS SONG WASN'T REALLY MAINSTREAM,BUT TO THOSE OF US WHO STILL LOVE IT TO THE DAY WE DIE AND INTO HEAVEN OR HELL,IT'S A KEEPER FOREVER.
I love the fact that it wasn't mainstream! It's our own private treasure that few know, and those of us who do are the ones who appreciate it...
Yep
I kinda keep forgetting this singer, but once in a while I find my way back here and every time I’m amazed how good it is
@@sb7615 GLAD YOU FOUND YOUR WAY BACK SANDRA
Listening to this legendary song even in 2021.
Still here, still looping. Santi really outdid herself with this one!
FACTS
This was once one of mine and My girlfriend’s Favorite songs . We used to sing it together. We have since broken up , but Every once in a while I’ll listen to this Song AS it has become MORE RELEVANT NOW then it Was BACK THEN given the Lyrics.
And when I hear it I often Want To reach out to her send this Song to her , but that’ll be too much . I’ll just keep it to myself & keep that can of worms closed . It’s been a While but I do still miss her from time to time .
You’ll get through it bro keep jamming out💯
Santigold's music is everywhere. She is a very creative, innovative, talented young woman. I'm so happy for her success.
she's always had good catchy songs
My #1 Santigold favourite. One of the best, most unique songs I've ever heard (of this genre).
It's a pretty badass song, but I wouldn't call it unique. Go listen to Making Plans for Nigel by XTC.
Try "Before the Fire"
I agree.
If this is one of the most unique songs you have heard then you have listened to pretty boring music.
K.H. Unique to her don't be a butthead
Oh my God I looked for this song for a long long long long time.
ive been looking for like a decade and i just came across it
I just had that problem typed in Santiago 🤣🤣🤣
Damn it that's not it luckily I still had it in 2 yr old text msg when my coworker told I'd like this one😂
She flys under the radar, this song is so under appreciated. I love it so much ❤🥰
FUCKING OBSESSSSSSSSSSSED THIS IS LITERAL PERFECTION IN A SONG.
do agree!
You're not wrong.
Idols
This is the constitution
