Hide the sun
I will leave your face out of my mind
You should save your eyes
Thousand voices howling in my head

Speak in tongues
I don’t even recognize your face
Mirror on the wall
Tell me all the ways to stay away

Hey, hey, hey, ah
Away, hey, ah
Away, hey, ah

And stay
Away, hey, ah
Away, hey, ah
Away, hey, ah

Dig a hole
Fireworks exploding in my hands
If I could paint the sky
All the stars would shine in bloody red

Stay
Hey, hey, hey, ah
Away, hey, ah
Away, hey, ah

And stay
Away, hey, ah
Away, hey, ah
Away, hey, ah

And stay
Away, hey, ah
Away, hey, ah
Away, hey, ah
And stay

Away, hey, ah
Away, hey, ah
Away, hey, ah

Black out days
I don’t recognize you anymore

I heard this version first, here on RP and downloaded it.  My 16 year old heard it and noted that this was a remix (I hadn't paid particular attention) so I searched out the original.  Wow, in comparison, the remix sucks out what's really intriguing about this song and spits it out.  🤷‍♀️. It's not bad per se, but lacks. 



YES!!  I feel the same.

Long time RP listeners know Bill throws in covers and remixes back to back with songs by the band covered or remixed.  It's thematic and is generally a fun wrinkle in the programming.  This is the only instance I have had a problem with.  I realize it's just a song on a streaming service and is not important at all.

And I know "The Original Is Better" comments are a dime a dozen, but don't discount this one if you haven't listened to the original.

I am not saying this track sucks, just that THE ORIGINAL IS AWESOME!!!

I dig this song! I biked way out along the Boulder Creek Path a few days ago to Upslope Brewery, and as I approached the patio and front door, this was cranking over the sound system, inside and out. As I waited for my pint, the next song was "Spitting Off the Edge of the World," and I told the bartender gal I loved the music. She said, "Yeah, I got it set to Phantagram Radio!" and as I sat in the sun and watched another glorious day go down, I knew I was in The Right Spot! Thanks, RP, for keeping me hip, aware, and aloft!


man, I love me some musical serendipity too!

Really pleased that Phantogram finally made it to RP. It took a while but a few great tracks in the mix now.

Yep.  I thought it was some Arcade Fire thing (especially the "speaking in tongues bit", but obviously no.

This made me search for the original - it blew me away, it has more energy and rawness  that the remix lacks. Thanks for posting it but it would be nice if there will be the original in the playlist 


I strenously concur

Doesn't quite capture the feeling of the original, but still quite nice in a much more mellow sort of way.
