Remarks:
I used to play this song to death! Not quite as good as I remember it. It reached #37 on the American pop charts in 2002 and made her name. It comes from her “How I Do” (2001) album, which Santigold helped to write and produce.
Lyrics:
I wanna try that pill that people take
Make you believe all the things that people say
Sick of shuckin’ ’round with a screwed up face
With my heels dug in trying to leave a trace
Now come on put me down somehow
How you lose your faith
(just take my hand and lead me where you wanna)
[Chorus:]
Pay no more mind to what you think you’ve seen
It’s as they do only
Say what they say
‘Cause there’s only one way
They-Say Vision
It takes you back to just where you want
Like when you ain’t know no way
Industry’s down think I’ve died and I’ve flown away
So so long to them thieves who came and took all the things to say
I play the joker sometimes but then those moments slide back my way
‘Cause for real I’d give my soul away
Give it all away
(so take my hand and lead me where you wanna)
[Chorus]
I know where they all go find someplace
Where they don’t mind loafing about the waste
They-Say Vision takes you back to where no conscience
Free from how you really see
And if you think that you know
Take the back road
They got you where they want
They got you
wow, she’s has stunning, beauty. I’m not into rock music but I’d get into it, just so i could stare at those gorgeous eyes, face, skin and body. *_*
Oh, her singing voice is lovely, too. ^_^

I found Res’s CD in a sale bin ten years ago and took a chance on it. Not many people I know have heard of her, but when they listen to the music they love it. I’m re-blogging. Thanks for posting.

Reblogged this on Shapeshifters and commented:
I think Res is one of those artist who never got the recognition she’s due.

I owned her album Res was so awesome. It was a shame how the industry ignored her. She is a group called either Hero Worship or Idol Worship. I may be wrong about the name but, Talib Kweli is her partner in this.
