thanks for the reminder Colbert

I walk blind with smoke in my eyes It's like we don't know where we been That's it, boy, just state your case You're just as wrong as you were then One tough move throw your hands up Say I don't make no rules No one even knows I'm here Now its on you to man up You say no weight'll hang on what you say

We're the keepers While we sleep in America Our house is burning down Our house is burning We're the keepers While we sleep in America Our house is burning down Our house is burning Down, down it burns down Our house is burning down

Ask me why a dream gets you by But let it want, turns a dangerous thing Watch out for it, it snakes right past Then turns around and it sucks you in What happens when you get stuck Get to the bottom of the illusion that you're in From the roots now it's shook up Know that what ails without will do you in

We're the keepers While we sleep in America Our house is burning down Our house is burning We're the keepers While we sleep in America Our house is burning down Our house is burning Down, down it burns down Our house is burning down

And not a thing I've done Abates my fear And not a thing I've done Abates my fear And still although our hearts can't run We are gone We are gone On the heels of all we have done, know

We're the keepers While we sleep in America Our house is burning down Our house is burning We're the keepers While we sleep in America Our house is burning down Our house is burning Down, down it burns down Our house is burning down

I like Santigold a lot but I'm pretty lukewarm on her latest album.

Haha!

I caught that on Colbert, too. Wasn't feeling it. Maybe she has better songs I don't know about, though.

Youre not sensing Kate Bush in that song Dood?
Did you hear it on headphones?

I like the new record

I like it, I just don't find it nearly as dynamic as her first Lp. It's all kind of good it just feels all kind of flat at that same time. I miss her rockish stuff and none of her hooks are as good as the first album. The best song on this album isn't as good as any of the top six songs on her previous lp. IMO.

I'm not a Kate Bush fan, so me sensing that probably wouldn't be a good thing.

Not even "Running Up That Hill"? Love that record so much.

Didn't like it when it came out, but how long ago was that? Maybe it's aged like a fine wine. I'll give it a spin.

>implying Disparate Youth is not rock enough

To be honest I got put on to her last album through the countless remixes that came out which drowned out her OG productions but this recent one, dunno, is purdy damn good

Neither am I but I appreciate Kate's timbre in her voice that you sort of get through SG.
Agian are you listening to these tracks on Pc speakers

This isn't really rockish at all. But I like it. This is the only track off the album I've really been playing in my loungey gigs. When I say rockish I'm mean stuff like .....
