Thanks to Sharp Objects, now I'm obsessed with this song.
Same. Music hasn't brought me to tears for a hot minute!
Right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yup.
Same same same
Same here
She's got a lotta depth. I spent a few years living in the East Village, Alphabet City, in the late seventies and eighties and grew to know and love Nuyorican poetry. The passage of the poem mid-way is from Pedro Pietri's "Puerto Rican Obituary", one of my favorite poets and one of my favorite poems. Not at all surprised then that she's from the Bronx. You can't write a song like this unless you are a Nuyorican. What a powerful, smart, cutting, haunting, fearless, beautiful song.
This is one of the most powerful songs I've ever heard. From the album when I discovered it last year, to this very day I've lost account of how many times I've listened to it. And to whoever I can, I'm telling: listen to this. The cultural relevance is the key to why is so riveting. When I saw the thumb for the video I freaked, literally. Now I'm in tears as I write this. I'm from America, but like South. Latin America to be most accurate to "americans". We're so afar from our cultural traces and roots here nowadays, sometimes most are ashamed of it, but this rescues a pride that goes much further into who we are. I am really sad I have not enough resources to help, even more when this song did so much for me and my life. I just feel so capable when listening to it, I feel able to just be something, and that's more than anything I could ask for. Thanks for the video and hope this gets to as many people as possible.
Renan Santos and that is the best of music is to do. I love hearing these storoes
Thanks for such an inspiring comment!
Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦
This is a powerful wonderful song I agree..
same
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😭😭😭😭😭😭 Beautiful words!!!!!!!
I've had the most terrible decade going on, and I feel like this song sings out loud the implosive scream of my soul.
That makes us 2! Hope yours improves!
@@Paulo.1984 I hope so does yours!
Me too. Hope things get better
[Verse 1]
Oh I just wanna go to work --
And get back home, and be something
I just wanna fall and lie --
And do my time, and be something
Well I just wanna prove my worth --
On the planet Earth, and be, something
I just wanna fall in love
Not fuck it up, and feel something
[Verse 2]
Well lately, don’t understand what I am
Treated as a fool
Not quite a woman or a man
Well I don’t know
I guess I don’t understand the plan
[Verse 3]
Colonized, and hypnotized, be something
Sterilized, dehumanized, be something
Well take your pay
And stay out the way, be something
Ah do your best
But fuck the rest, be something
[Verse 4]
Well lately, it’s been mighty hard to see
Just searching for my lost humanity
I look for you, my friend
But do you look for me?
[Instrumental]
[Verse 5]
Lately I’m not too afraid, to die
I wanna leave it all behind
I think about it sometimes
Lately all my time’s been movin slow
I don’t know where I’m gonna go
Just give me time, I’ll know
[Bridge 1]
Oh, any day now
Oh, any day now
I will come along
Oh, any day now
Oh, any day now
I will come along
I will come along
[Recording]
Dead Puerto Ricans who never knew they were Puerto Ricans
Who never took a coffee break from the 10th commandment
To kill, kill, kill
The landlords of their cracked skulls
And communicate with their Latin souls
Juan, Miguel, Milagros, Olga, Manuel
From the nervous breakdown streets where the mice live like millionaires
And the people do not live at all
[Instrumental]
[Outro]
From el barrio to Arecibo, ¡Pa’lante!
From Marble Hill to the ghost of Emmett Till, ¡Pa’lante!
To Juan, Miguel, Milagros, Manuel, ¡Pa’lante!
To all who came before, we say, ¡Pa’lante!
To my mother and my father, I say, ¡Pa’lante!
To Julia, and Sylvia, ¡Pa’lante!
To all who had to hide, I say, ¡Pa’lante!
To all who lost their pride, I say, ¡Pa’lante!
To all who had to survive, I say, ¡Pa’lante!
To my brothers, and my sisters, I say, ¡Pa’lante!
¡Pa’lante!
¡Pa’lante!
To all came before, we say, ¡Pa’lante!
This video made me cry. Thank u for showing the struggle of my ppl after the hurricane. Pa'Lante!! 🇵🇷
Well they are her people too after all. I love how she included references to Emmett Till, Julia Burgos, and Sylvia Rivera in the lyrics. I didn’t know the story of Emmett Till 😔
Hell yes. I was SO glad Sharp Objects used this song because I wanted as many people to hear it as possible. This song is a heartrending tribute to the strength of Latinx Americans everywhere, particularly Puerto Rico. If this broke your heart, donate to Hispanic Federation or PrimaFund or somewhere else you researched to help the people our government has failed so badly. Pa'lante siempre, and thank you Hurray for the Riff Raff for being so creative & badass!
Thank you all for coming here and listening on behalf of all Puerto Ricans, thank you.
Sharp Objects brought me to this song. A masterpiece. I had never heard it before or the artist.
I heard it on Sharp Objects now I am addicted to this sad, hopeful, powerful, beautiful song.
This is first real protest song of this century. Kind regards from Poland Hurray...
totally agree!!!
Tres true.
If you pretend Rise Against doesn't exist.
rise against is great, but this song is on a whole other level
Also totally agree!
Won't lie I cried through this entire video. Powerful voice with a powerful message.
A friend just shared this with me and I went on a emotional roller coaster while watching and listening for the first time. Swelling with latinx pride, sorrow, joy, and overcoming anything that comes your way all in one go. Beautiful work, and I'm so glad to have been shown this.
If this was a 2-hour movie, I would watch it.
Yah, this short film with just the music is better than most of the full length movies I've ever seen.
This gives me flashbacks of Maria’s aftermath. It really captures both, the despair and go-forward spirit of my people. Thanks for this gift, Hurray..
I'm a white boy (old boy??) from England. but the Navigator really moved me and I rate it as one of the half-dozen best albums of the last decade. Saw HFTRR live finally in London this autumn - the most recent album is pretty special too - and they lived up to my expectations. but if you haven't heard The Navigator, give the whole album a go
As a white presenting Native in America, this hits HARD. You sing to more than you know.
I know that she was inspired by “A Day in the life” , but it’s unbelievable that she managed to nail that late Beatles sound in the middle!
Such an amazing song !
now this is what i call art.
Thanx to Sharp Objects for the great soundtrack, I love this song.
Having grown up half Puerto Rican and half Caucasian, I've long felt neither group accepted me. My skin is white, I don't speak Spanish, but my hair is true afro curly and my body is too curvy for a typical white man. I believe this is why I've felt separation from my people, but this video, this song... I felt Puerto Rican pride for the first time in a long time. Thank you for this.
Yo bro. The skin color as a Puerto Rican affects you if you are black or white and not the stereotypical Trigueño appearanced brown latino. I am Trigueño and 100% Rican. My bro was born half white and half PRican. He was born with curly blonde hair. It was cut and it darkened to brown and straightened.
We all struggle with identity in America and the world. And even your Spanish if raised in P. R. (PeRrey) you would have had moments you sat confused about being colonizer vs colonized, of the people or of the masters. This gets affected each time you make a dollar and lose a dollar and what you do with the dollar. Drinking it up with homies en el barrio has its perks and depressants. Saving up money en el barrio to get out or upgrade, you will be faced with another dilemma of crisis. If you become somebody and become real rich... en el barrio when u visit you will either have an estranged relationship or a strong connection or reconnection to it.
It happens to us all. Watch blood in blood out. Its mexican but it's a very latino in america and in the America's experience. Even Bob Marley went thru it. It's common amongst Jamaicans, Blacks. Even Europeans go thru it. Life is hard without a road map. But you're probably on your way to realizing what your truth will be.
And ur still Boricua papa! Pa'lante.
I'm Caucasian/Irish and I accept you....no matter what ❤🙏🏼

Love this lady whom i discovered not long ago. But if i had anything I'm not in favor of are "poor me songs". When you beg for love you might just get pity, if you're lucky! Never empower the other side by declaring that what they're trying to do is working out very well for them. Keep doing what you're doing and that will yield the results we seek. I'm so glad that you have ventured into non traditional latin music. I love it!
This captures alot of the struggle the island is going through. Excellent job.
This song made me cry because it’s the reality for most.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I’m crying over here.
Que viva Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 Pa’lante puñeta!
This fucking song deserves a billion views. It's so moving and so beautiful
There are many great songs that show American Spirit but I think Pa'lante is the ultimate call to the American Spirit. Bravo riff raff
How the destruction as a result of Nature digs deep inside one's soul and ruins not only the home without but within. She says it so powerfully and so forcefully and so honestly. Whoever shot the video was spot on with movement......blending perfectly with the song. The visuals were stunning. The song is a jewel. I heard it on Sharp Objects minutes ago....that’s a mind bender of a show, too! Now I'm all fucked up!
Thank you for this beautiful and heartfelt video.
vestcoat I love your comment and couldn’t agree more! I admit I came here from the show also AND IM SO HAPPY I DID! This song evokes so many feelings and now I’m lost in the world of RUclips listening to all their songs. This one...this one in particular does something to the soul though.
I love this video it shows depicts the hardship, challenges, heartbreak and hope of life after Maria, as well as the resilience of the Puerto Rican people. It also touches on the Puerto Rican experience as part of the United States.
So powerful. I see you Puerto Rico.
I saw them perform this song live and it was incredible. It was so powerful. They were awesome to see live I’m glad I had the opportunity.
This song has been on repeat since I heard it. I’ve sent it to all my family. My dad is there on the island. It makes me cry. A good cry.the video is beautiful. Thank you for this song
writing letters urging people to vote in november and listening to this keeps me going. pa'lante
Ohh my island. .my people😭😭😭😭couldn't stop crying watching this..felt just like her..life is so real!🙏🏻Puerto Rico❤🇨🇺🇺🇸🇵🇷🇩🇴
Recuerdo cuando escuche esta canción por primera vez no pude contener mis lagrimas. Cuando dice Pa'lante pensé en mi madre mi padre y mis hermanas. Una expresión tan común como esa puede levantarte el animo para seguir adelante
Francisco Diaz no importa la nacionalidad, los padres siempre le dicen a uno Pa' Lante para darnos fuerza.
🙏🏼💯✊🏽
Cuando me encuentro extrañando mi tierra boriquen, recuerdo lo que sacrifiqué para estar aquí. Pa'lante, mi gente. La tierra muere pero mi corazón vive en el infinito.
This is beautiful and haunting. Thank you for shining a light on our dear island, still in so much nead
Damn you Alynda. You made me cry. This is not what I am looking for when I search for Hurray for the Riff Raff on RUclips. Love you!
This song was one of my favorites from the album!
I love this song. Like a modern day "A Day In The Life" by The Beatles, but with more passion, more feeling, more power & more meaning. A masterpiece. I'm so grateful to Sharp Objects for bringing this to a wider audience. Far surpasses anything I've heard in a long while.
I'm so happy to see someone mentioning "A Day In The Life". I hear it in this song so much.
This feels relevant now for the natives in Canada. This song lives in my heart.
What an incredible piece of art. Thank you.
This song is beyond words the most amazing experience I’ve ever had🙏🙏
Thank you for that
One of the great, great songs.
hits you right in the feels this one
Tears from that first piano note ... fucking amazing.
Powerful and heartfelt. Goosebumps, every time. Thanks to "Sharp Objects" for introducing this artist and song to the rest of us. (Side note: I really thought it was Alanis Morissette the first time. Sorry. Peace. 😊)
Sharp Objects!!
i finally found the song , am happy
This is so beautiful thank you
Qty
Thank you. Thank you for expressing the reality of many of us. Dando le pa’ alante out here. This is beautiful.
One of the best songs of the decade. So powerful and just... yeah. Dunno how to describe it but really quite amazing.
Beautiful. To hear this southern folk/americana singer reference the legendary Pedro Pietri, the whole thing. Just wow.
Thank You 4 Reminding me of My Humanity. When You Hurt, I Hurt. Time 2 Come Together and Love Each other. Beautiful film, thanks so Much.
Amazing. Such a powerful song and one of the best music video clips I've seen in my whole life. Pa'lante!
I'm at a loss for words....ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!
This is to see and feel something very sacred. Very very beautiful!
Gracias Pa'lante, por la belleza de todo el contenido y al amigo Nico Filipic Masso, de 'Vivo Humanista', que me lo hizo llegar. En Islas Canarias usamos ese 'pa'lante' dando ánimo y buen rollo ante toda dificultada o inconveniente y que las personas tomen esa buena energía desde su interior.
Gracias Hurray for the Riff Raff.
Abrazos con paz, fuerza y alegría para todxs.
This is an extraordinary piece of music. So in love with this song. I am colonised and hypnotised! What an amazing sound. Many thanks Sharp Objects for the introduction.
I, too, heard this on Sharp Objects and had to look it up. Powerful.
Oh, Sharp Objects..LOVE
My heart STILL goes out to the people of Puerto Rica & ALL they have had to endure from this current administration!!
In Spirituality & the "Everything happens for a reason" - water is about CLEANSING!!! I'm holding the vision that Puerto Rico will either become an official state of the U.S. - though I feel the biggest strength would be letting the U.S. go since you've seen how "helpful" they are to you!!
You are STRONG SPECIAL PEOPLE & you have a very special island that you have the opportunity to rebuild & GROW!! The PEOPLE NEED to BELIEVE that!!!!
What does Pa'lante mean??
6 months late, but "pa' lante" is a local saying that basically means "don't give up", "keep going forward", etc.
The whole saying would be "Sigue pa' lante, pa' trás ni para coger impulso" (Keep going forward, don't go backwards not even to get momentum.)
Another one who discovered this through Sharp Objects. I was convinced it was Fiona Apple at first, she sounds a lot like her. I mean that as a compliment of course. It's been a long time since I got chills from a song. 💜💜💜
I thought it was Fiona Apple as well who is another strong song writer. I also felt it a little Beatle-esque as well! Beatiful song!
Jennifer Grupp
Yep, in the middle she totally nailed the late Beatles sound, that’s just amazing
I heard she was inspired by “A Day In The Life”
Clearly can hear similarities
Bit of a Beatles vibe in the middle part. Also thought it could be Fiona Apple.
I’m a little late to this masterpiece but I burst into tears, well done.
The *spotify soundtrack* for *Sharp Objects* is so Good✨
First time hearing this song a few minutes ago on a RUclips Coachella live stream. Gorgeous lyrics and singing!
A very powerful song. Greetings from the south 🇻🇪
Que viva Puerto Rico libre y soberano puñeta!!!
amén hermano
Machetero Hasta La Muerte 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Sharp objects 💗💗
So powerful love and light to all in the struggle and to those that made it to the other side of the Shadow.
Beautiful! Thank you for this message.
Found this looking for Riff Raff the rapper. Different music style to what im used too with the unique vocals
Re listening there is an amazing story in the lyrics aswell and with the instruments following the emotion of the song its actually an amazing song that invokes feelings and really immerses you in the story
@@Sayghostmusic Listen to Ghostemane
Wow. just beautiful song, video, the entire thing is just top level.
This vid needs more views!! 🇵🇷🇵🇷
Looking for I’ll Take You There bass line led me to Caitlin Gray which led me to this band. Wow. Amazing find. And this song, being a son of Puerto Rican parents, I find this amazing. I’m officially a fan.
This is a beauthiful song, It actually brought tears to my eyes! Thank you for this nice song!
What an evocative video. Excellent work, thank you!
Je découvre maintenant. J'adore toutes ces ruptures d'harmonies. Des plages lentes. Les sons de la nature. Et le cri révolté. Le chaos sous votre lumineuse chanson, mâtinée d'espoirs. Je réécoute illico.
My island! Mi Isla hermosa Boriquen I miss you so much! Miss your mountains, your rivers, your "chinchorros", your beaches, your music and your flavors. This song made me cry. The struggles are real....pero seguimos pa'lante!
This is a powerful video to go along with a powerful song. Thank you so much to putting visuals to music that really gets me. I've listened to the album so many times, and this song in particular hundreds of times. Thank you.
