The song "L.E.S. Artistes" by Santigold is a great song, but also a great example of transcendentalism. The lines in the chorus "I can say I'll hope it will be worth what I give up if I could stand up mean for the things that I believe," show the value that giving up things and standing up for what you feel can have on your life, which is common in transcendentalism. Another important line is "I'm here for myself, not to know you. I don't need no one else." It shows another common transcendental belief that people shouldn't live to please one another, but only to live up to their own standards.
