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

Anyone recognize the intro from the Marketplace Morning Report on NPR? David Brancaccio must be a Santigold fan too. Mo respect.

I think we're seeing a shift in the Radio Paradise format this summer to include more of today's hits.  Looks like Bill is doing a good job curating the songs while keeping a lot of the old favorites.


But this song by Santigold came out in 2012.  Not a hit "today" I still love it. My oldest son turned me on to her in 2008. When I heard L.E.S. Artistes, I was hooked. And I am now still listening to her and I will be 66 in April 2024.

Listening to the intro music, I thought of Arcade Fire.

Thoughtful?

I'm sure that this song has been played on RP much longer than you may realize.  It was released back in 2012 and I'm sure that I heard it way back.   ...but then again, my memory is suspect.

Heh... yeah, no doubt. BTW -- Iggy just released a NEW ALBUM that freakin' rocks!

She has songs I like better, but it's nice to see her on here.
Who came first...21 pilots or D Y.? Im curious

Nobody said anything about it being new or not on RP. The release date listed was just incorrect.
Cool song
How is this from 2012?  I would have guessed this is a newer release as it sounds more polished and more topical for the 2020s.

Really good track! But it's not new, I have it in playlists for a long time.

Reminds me if Rhianna.

Makes me think Bill's playing Rihanna for a second...and that it's Shy Ronnie & Clyde. 
She has a couple of songs I enjoy. You should play some of her other music too.
really liked this songs the first times i've heard it. 
now after 20+ times the song gets boring.
For Nigel...oh ah oh ah

Sort of a Silversun Pickups vibe.
This is from 2012, not 2022...

This a really solid song,

BUT

this style of drum track is definitely gonna be this generation's gated reverb snare
loved this from the first time of hearing - everything is perfect about it for me 👍
