‘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.

[@jennalusche]

Don't know what you're giving up, but you are worth it ❤

[@electrontube]

I used to listen to this before missions in Afghanistan. Fundamentally similar reason.

She was 8 years ahead...this sound is still amazing

[@lupcokotevski2907]

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.

[@lupcokotevski2907]

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'.

[@paulg8206]

I like the lyric I thought I heard, “I’m an introverted instigator” better...

[@jimmy_jamesjams_a_lot4171]

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?!

[@kimberleyboke4683]

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.

This video is pure art. I've always loved it. Completely underrated song.

[@novacaine717]

Underrated artist, in general, unfortunately. ❤

[@NotYourMamasChannel]

I see as a metaphor of all the garbage and propaganda the media tortures us with.

[@simonbradley7250]

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.

[@angelaxsacbe]

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

[@bryaneberly4407]

it can't have been 16 years, can it? damn.

[@stefanierusch7641]

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.

[@Jet-ok7qm]

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.

[@sergecharlebois6114]

In which NHL game was this in?? I've been playing that since NHL94 every year and never noticed!!

[@scottjones4824]

NHL 08 brought me here all those years ago, still loving it now 👌

[@chrismartinez5711]

Good god, take me back. This was such a good time for music.

[@Wholesome_Hans]

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

[@ancestralabundance]

Yup. 2008-2012 was awesome.

[@mike0rr]

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.

[@luzdoalem]

this song feels so complementary to gwen stefani’s “what you waiting for?” . both have this vulnerable and hopeful approach, very raw and beautiful.

[@robinbanks4257]

One of the most epic Santigold songs and videos of all time.... when artists change the world...

[@tr377723]

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.

[@moreld1]

Yup, I’m hearing Missing Persons, Til Tuesday, Cindy Lauper. Also hearing Garbage & Butch Vig. Love it!

Reminds me of when we use to take the Redline to Chinatown on Fridays/Saturdays & would listen to this - with one headphone each. We are both 30/31 now and drifted apart, for no reason perhaps, or I guess just life. No matter the reason, this song always brings the fondest memories of our friendship.
