RA - Sky (Live From Sweetwater Studios)

[@elstifo]

Sahaj is such an underrated musician is not even fair. That voice!! Much respect to him and the gents.

[@nhuxley29]

Yep there songs are too deep and meaningful to be mainstream would wake too many people up which is sad cause you’ve got garbage music for the most part being played vs stuff like this with ancient knowledge etc. My buddy introduced me to them over 10 years ago is the only way I found them they became my favorite band too.

[@onyxbel9484]

Absolutely, such a powerful voice that commands your attention 😀 Ra - they're perfection👌🤘

[@MG-fl5wk]

One of the greatest vocalist alive. Still waiting for a Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors intro cover. Sue me, an 80's child can dream.

[@Straight_White_Fatherly_Figure]

@@nhuxley29 true. People prefer to live a life of degeneracy and as posers over reality. This band is the first concert that i went to as a kid (late 90s, early 2000s). Got a signed CD from the lead singer. It got lost in life though 😔 wish i still had it

[@Freedum_Fries]

I agree. he is so talented from the first time I heard him back in early 2000

[@IamShado]

The fact that RA isn't headlining arenas still blows my mind.

[@CRT_Sanctuary]

I grew up listening to RA, seeing this now as a man it warms my heart. This band is better than ever. What a treat, thank you guys

[@Sarj_ent]

I started listening to when mx vs atv came out on PS2 and it has been my favorite rock band ever since. So glad they are back at it

RA is that band you simply can’t comprehend how they aren’t 100000000x bigger than what they are. They’re smooth like butter.

[@writingonthewall3326]

[@DATONALKY]

I painted a picture Of a day gone past An ancient scripture And a house of glass People looking through the window Never knowing what they'd find When they couldn't see me I locked the door and left them behind The sky will tell me I'm not the only one And the sky will tell me I must believe the sun I shut my eyes To not go blind Things I can't see I see in my mind Now the passing clouds of rain Have surely passed us by Poor is the man That believes his own lie And the sky will tell me I'm not the only one And the sky will tell me I must believe the sun And the sky will tell me Long may you run And the sky will tell me I must believe the sun Yeah... If I was wrong Judge me by name I simplify One and the same And the sky will tell me I'm not the only one And the sky will tell me I must believe the sun And the sky will tell me Long may you run And the sky will tell me I must believe the sun

[@travisj7717]

Criminally underrated band

[@ryukan250]

One of the most underrated rock songs of the past few decades. The guitar work combined with Sahaj's incredible vocal ability elevates it to another level. Also, Ben Carroll's guitar phrasing, tuning and effects are so unique. Keep rocking Ra.

[@riotshieldweeb8609]

These guys deserve more fame and recognition! They have it all. I have been listening since their first album and every song is amazing.

[@JustaGuyFromTexas]

I found Ra in May of 2005 on a business trip to Boston. I was brokenly sad that I had to leave my one month old daughter, now 16 and driving :-). This song always reminds me of those precious days of her being a baby and me learning more of who this band ‘Ra’ was and how much they positively affected me during that time. Cheers, guys. I’m glad to see you all jamming again.

[@Sungodrock]

🔥🌞🔥

[@whineywyvern5269]

A strange coincidence that I rediscovered Ra while going through something eerily similar…

[@AcousticSerenity]

Still my fav Ra song all these years later. Those harmonies are amazing

[@morganburns9439]

"Sky" has been one of my favorite songs since the From One album came out. Hearing it now reinvigorates that admiration, and blows my mind all over again. Y'all are masterful in your craft, and I can't overstate my gratitude to you for continuously putting out such amazing music. Thank you!

[@Sungodrock]

Thank you Morgan!!

[@GoogleAccount-fr8rd]

Great song from a great album that still holds up almost 2 decades later. Can't say the same of most rockers from 2002.

[@konkon7767]

Such a killer sound, and rhythm. I'm so glad you guys are still together, and playing these great songs.

[@danbear83]

Really love that he's wearing a Starset shirt. Two of my favorite bands here. Those vocals are out of this world, I've heard many from all different vocal ranges and varieties. But Sahaj has vocals that always stick with me, it's spiritual.

[@mrburns366]

so glad these guys are still rocking. i actually discovered them a year or so ago. hopefully i can see them live soon!

[@Mixed_Activist]

I discovered them a few months ago n same

[@mrburns366]

@@Mixed_Activist I've discovered a lot of great bands lately on Spotify. I think back when Ra came out, corporate radio was shafting a lot of great bands. They just promoted what the labels wanted to and the DJs had little control in playing actual good music.

[@JamesLatimer]

To me, RA will always be the band that never got a fair chance. They have put out quality music for years and haven't gotten a chance. Bands with half the talent have been pushed to the top, and it's annoying.

[@dinorenthlei5474]

I wish I had the opportunity to listen to them back in the early 2000s when all my life revolved around was music. Unfortunately, where I live, we only had MTV Asia to feed us with all the music we knew then. I never saw Ra's music videos. I found them randomly on YT around 4-5 years ago and realised I would have loved their music even more during my college years. Nevertheless, I love the band now and Sahaj's vocals are on another level altogether. Not to mention, the band altogether is sooo good. Please try to incorporate some of your old sound into your newer albums for the sake of us peeps from that generation.

[@connorlohse4097]

Everyone here is saying how underrated Ra was, and they are absolutely correct. It blows my mind that they aren't GOAT status among the early 2000s alt rock/metal wave.

[@Turnin_N_Burnin]

Loved this band ever since I first heard “Do you call my name” on the radio. Fun fact: the lead singer is the brother of Melina from the original Total Recall 😅

[@leedoughty2104]

I was raised on a wide range of music as a kid. Great music spans generations. I list Ra as one of my favorite bands of all time. Amazing composition, singing, and writing.

[@Sungodrock]

Thank you, Lee

[@TotsNater]

Whenever I've hear this song live, that moment when Sahaj says "Ben!" before he solos always gets me. It's like "here we fuckin go, boys!"

[@michaelacrivello]

Hearing this band for the first time ever, no joke! What a great performance, I'm a new fan!

[@CJ97555]

[@Luke_Maine]

22 years after watching you at Club 125 NH....Awesome seeing/hearing Sky performed again

[@thehoovah]

Between Sahajs voice, Bens excellent solos, PJs deep basswork, Skootas drumwork (welcome back!!!!) its just so hard to beat. Ben... I often dont like guitar solos because they often sound like someone stroking ego and dont match the song. A guitar solos greatness is not how quickly you can pluck strings... HOWEVER every last one of your solos fits the song perfectly and gives it that extra bit of dimension that helps push the song to such high levels of musical bliss.

[@ryukan250]

Ben's solo is note perfect. Technical guitar solo's very rarely impress me unless it's something like Gordian Knot - River's Dancing. This is just a perfect solo that elevates the song.

[@mikeawesome9212]

I haven't listened to this band in a long time but I'm glad I started to again. This brings back so many memories. I remember hearing "Do You Call My Name" sometime around the early to mid 2000's and based off that song I decided to buy the whole album which I believe is called "From One". The whole album is awesome. I still have the album put away with all my other CD's. I bought a couple more Ra albums after that too which I need to pull out and have a listen to. Definitely excited to get back into this wicked band.

[@maximilianwentz5202]

Sahaj is one of those singers that’s even better live. Ra is quickly becoming one of my most favorite bands of all time.

[@ronsparkman4913]

One of the greatest rock songs of all time. Full stop. No notes.👊

[@Helicopterpilot16]

Ra has a spot in my life that'll never die. Never knew how much they'd carry me through the thick and the thin. From the days lost in the countless and seemingly meaningless nights of work to that jinx of the day I looked up in joy at the Sun to ask what was next since being so perceptibly low took me so far. Thanks Sagaj. Look for the irony in life, there's answers within it.

[@jeremydraleau4399]

Saw them perform in Leominster Ma in 2002 and hung out with the band after the show and had some beers. Maybe the best live performance I’ve ever seen.

[@fiendishtooth]

I so often see people post on videos of bands that shaped their teen years saying 'oh they sound exactly the same' when it's obvious they don't. - This man right here sounds like perfection without hyperbole. Been a fan for nearly 20 years and will continue to be a fan till they put me in the dirt.

[@CreativeMindsAudio]

When the live version is better than the album version (not an easy feat for this song either!). also checked out the "don't turn away" live video and for whatever reason the tone on this one is so on point by comparison.

My alltime favorite. So glad you are still rocking this😍😍 man I love it so much I had to come back and add to this comment. I want you to know that you have inspired musicians and average Joe's alike all up and down the east coast. I can't tell you how many people I've played this for over the years. Like "listen man. Whole band sings this part live" and the vocal feature toward the end, such a classic. Still gives me chills. Ever since your manager gave me a signed copy of your 5-6 song demo back in like 2001. Through the years I'd listen to songs like waste of space and be pissed off with you! But songs like this one and superman are so great because everyone can apply the symbolism to their own situation, so they mean so many different things for so many different people. That's what it's all about right there

[@Sungodrock]

From One came out at the absolute perfect time when I and my high school buddies got drivers licenses and our parents let us take their cars out to just cruise. This CD made it into no less than 2 Ford Taurus's, a Chevrolet Lumina, a Mitsubishi Diamante AND a Mazda MX-6. Talk about a World Tour. We just drove and rocked out and contemplated weird early 2000's teenage things. We were still very much the nerds we had been our whole life, girls maybe-kinda looked at us, high school was starting to feel stupid.... Ra though, that felt amazing.
