They've also done this in true underground warrior style as despite becoming the first breakbeat act ever to sign to a major label (warner, no less), they were required to, in their eyes, compromise their style for the sake of shifting units. As a result they refused to put out any releases and focused on the DJing whilst a new label was sought (V2). With their eclectic past and drawing on some traditional sounds of underground house, hip hop, electro and funk, they've mixed up the old and the new and come out with something bigger than the sum of its parts, namely the Stanton sound.

Not many can claim to have defined a sound but Mark Yardley and Dominic B should definitely be there if there's ever a ruck on the subject. The Stanton Warriors have carefully honed a distinct sound that carves up dance floors through 4 corners of the world sounding fresh and bringing something new to the party. As Dom said at the start of it all when he first saw the reaction to one of their tracks at the Notting Hill Carnival 'Everybody was dancing.' We're a few years down the line but it's still about 'everybody' and 'dancing' - there's just more people at the party!

Let's Go To Work
Stanton Warriors Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dreams to remember
A night so far away
It's time that we listened
to the broken hearts and this love we lay

Baby let go
Can I be the one to let go
Help me let go

Can I be the one to let go
Help me let you go
Baby let go
Can I be the one to let go
Help me let go
Can I be the one to let go

Breathe through the lesson
And don't hold on to fate
This night reach forgiveness
Or else decide to fall away from love

Oh baby let go
Can I be the one to let go
Help me let go
Can I be the one to let go
Help me let you go
Baby let go
Can I be the one to let go
Somehow Some way somehow some way
Can I be the one to let go

Should we let go
Can I somehow some way
Can you help me baby
Can I be the one to let go
Can I be the one to let go
Can you help me baby

Can I be the one to let go
Can I be the one to let go

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Stanton Warriors's song Let's Go To Work suggest a struggle to let go of love that may have already ended. The singer urges their lover to let go and move on from the broken hearts and love they shared. The repeated plea to "Baby let go" and "Help me let go" implies the singer's desire to end the relationship, but they can't do it alone. They need their lover to also "let go" and release them from the past. The lyrics propose that it's time to listen to the broken hearts, indicating that the relationship may have already caused pain and it's better to move on for everyone's sake.

The chorus begs for help in moving on from the relationship. The line "Breathe through the lesson and don't hold on to fate" suggests that the singer wants to learn from the relationship's lessons and not let fate control their future. The chorus also includes a line about reaching forgiveness, indicating that maybe the relationship had some form of forgiveness to be achieved, but if not, it's best to fall away from love. The song addresses a common struggle in relationships, where one person may feel they have already moved on, while the other tries to hold on. The lyrics, paired with the smooth electronic beats of the song, create a melancholic yet catchy tune.
