[@ale2793]

his woman is a lucky lady lol

[@michaeltucker8305]

Somehow I went 10 years without ever hearing this song. I am in love. I must have played it 30 times in the last 3 days. This is a true gem.

[@penangite]

Same here brother

[@rebeccabrooks8070]

Same, skipped a decade

[@Damianzw]

Same here, thrashed it since hearing it

[@Amber-vn5yn]

I just heard this for the first time a few days ago. It has been happening a lot to me like the war on drugs. Another incredible band. Cheers!

[@123arcadia]

[@IHlEILlL]

The guitar sounds totally badass on this version. Damn, I just can't get enough of this lady. Santi . . . YOU'RE SO DAMN GOLD !!!!!

[@caliwavrdr35]

The style she portrays is compare to none. hands down coolest human being on the planet.

[@anniebrady6140]

I wanna be in her club.

[@jigzoos]

I call it pizazz.

[@performancepursuit]

You should see her weld.

[@robny]

She reminds me of Amy Winehouse without the drugs

[@tidalboxer]

She’s amazing. Highly overlooked imo.

[@ThailandOrBust1111]

Not a cookie cutter artist She is a brilliant voice in the universe Deserves everything that fame has to offer A total package

[@frogy362]

Word

[@socraticsandal]

Holy crap, I totally didn't think this song would sound good live. Boy was I wrong!!

[@subikshrestha2308]

Is it really live though?

[@InicianteExperiente]

@@subikshrestha2308 yes, it is.

[@Boujonzu]

@Angela E. most of it is a backing track. Still cool though

[@mrknight2650]

This is what happens when people take a band seriously and actually show up to practice.

[@aprolifix]

@@subikshrestha2308 not to mention everything and the kitchen sink of affects on her voice.

[@christopherdean4848]

This really is an incredible piece of music; it's one of those things where it's a privilege to have it in your life.

[@ChachaChapati]

Very calm yet confident energy she radiates.

[@markmarquez9133]

I have to say even in 2022, this is really great music. I love this jam and her style and of course, it all comes together with the band, loving it.

[@shonenlad]

This woman is criminally underrated and i know why... but i'll say no more. Awesome songwriter/singer.

[@cspeazy6484]

This is that music that makes you think of that one really dope summer you had with all your friends and your first time smoking weed and the first time you had a real relationship and all those feels

[@stormchii]

Cspeazy yesssss, this song gives me chills

[@Arnesix91]

F'ing COVID ruining my entire f'ing festival summer. I genuinely cried reading your comment

[@madelynwintrick7577]

um this was my actual summer to a t when i listened to this 👁👄👁

[@shamicentertainment1262]

I've never had any of those things ever, but yeah that is exactly what it feels like

[@danielgray8504]

@@shamicentertainment1262 😂 I appreciate the honesty

This music is very very good. Santigold make me feel free sometimes, as her music get through my veins

[@LuLu-zg6ct]

The concentration to stick to your own instrument when every layer is so addictive. Amazing.

[@djrobbligidy]

i often play that game with myself. just listen to one instrument and consciously block out the others.

[@LuLu-zg6ct]

Rob Bligidy I did the same with this! 😂

[@djrobbligidy]

do it to for DJ Shadow's "Building Steam with a Grain of Salt". its amazing

[@ampmri2434]

Also do the same to Natalie Cole's "This will be an Ever Lasting Love". Amazing.

[@cujocommander]

Especially the chill vocals over the chaotic drum and bass.

[@lizf3325]

Amazing.. 8yrs ago santigold helped pull me through quite a tuff patch in my life, cant believe its been that long..much luv!

[@cassandralesure8731]

truth!

[@TheDeepsix13]

And now it's been 11. I hope everything is still going well...

[@Kr4f7w3rk]

Got goosebumps from the beginning of the song. I haven't experienced this feeling for a long time

[@dozer1642]

Seven years later this is still amazing. I just love you girl.

[@Ophelia11]

PURE GOLD 😍 Santi has been the soundtrack of my life for 10+ years already. She's 6 years older than me and who I want to be once I decide to grow up. 😎

[@blogshagify]

It is amazing how much that fondling guitar riff adds to the song. Their sound is infectious.

[@asiyaj.5522]

She seems so chill and this song everything about it is AWESOME.

[@tkenglander6226]

I want those sunglasses for when I do triathlons; that would be so cool!

[@bsindy7863]

Was watching “good girls” with my wife... heard this song and was like Damn!!!! Pretty cool fucking song. Then saw it is over 7yrs old!!! I must’ve been under a rock

[@Sochilinda]

Actually this song is from her album Santogold from 2008, so, much older. It is a gem and the video of her first single "Les artistes" was quite popular back in the day. The video is also stunning.

[@fleur726]

Same, only just discovered them, it clearly doesn't get old

[@greysmith9894]

This song still gives me chills

[@Diegolas2]

después de todos estos años de escucharla me sigue poniendo la piel chinita

[@mike_reads_stuff]

Lyrics like this could help me through the tough times: "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"

[@larisakarr2005]

Santigold performing on my birthday later this year is the best present ever

[@purplehood8418]

This makes me feel like I stumbled on a private recording of this song and everyone else was so engrossed in music making that they didn’t see me. This is going to be one of my top tracks this year.

[@SamueLewis1991]

She's so underrated, is katy perry released this song it'd be top of the charts for like 100 weeks or something.

[@kirstenclouse7846]

This song is 🔥! Lyrics mean a lot to me- “ a life worth fighting for....” That means something different to each person...”oh they said our dreams would carry us...”

[@brentolson5504]

I think I am going on over 200 times listening too this song.

[@mattrix8174]

I bought the vinyl many many years ago . Used to dance to it in my favorite nightclub with my best friend DJ . Rediscovered it a few days ago while going through my records as I wanted to give it away . I always listen before wantto give . Thank God l listened. Now on a daily basis at least twice. Never give a record before listening.

[@ATRTAP]

Even better live. Amazing

[@maxmorlock697]

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

[@dozer1642]

I've had time to settle down since my last comment. I've spent much time contemplating your work verses someone like "puffbaby or Jaysee" and you are so superior to them in so many ways. Still they get the airplay and media. God bless you Santi. I love you dearly.

[@billycole1933]

Don't use God's name in vain in one comment and then say "God bless you" in another. I'm not a crazy fanatic or anything, just kills me when I see people use God's name like that. I guess it's how I was raised, but I cringe when I see it. Please don't do it? Thanks.
