RACHEL PLATTEN: (Singing) This is my fight song, take back my life song, prove I'm all right song. SANDERS: (Laughter) So two songs that I've noticed when I am out covering Hillary Clinton and even at the DNC this year - her, I guess, anthem for this campaign season. SUSAN DAVIS, BYLINE: It feels like "The Lion King." They'll call me freedom, just like a waving flag. K'NAAN: (Singing) When I get older, I will be stronger. And here you have Hillary Clinton really giving this large platform to this Somali-Canadian rapper. He was talking about Somali refugees the other day. You know, you hear Donald Trump constantly talking about refugees. KHALID: Which I also think is such an interesting, powerful subliminal message.
But there's this one other song you consistently hear, and that's by K'naan. SANDERS: And they're songs sung by women. But, I mean, I think a lot of Hillary Clinton songs that you hear have this undercurrent of, you know, either feminist speak or there's a message behind a lot of what she's. SANDERS: Yeah, it's a very emotional song.ĪNDRA DAY: (Singing) And I'll rise up. Every time she walks onstage you hear it and every time she pretty much descends from the stage you hear it. SAM SANDERS, BYLINE: All right, so what do you guys think? What songs have we heard entirely too much on the campaign trail? I have my own list, but Asma, what about you?ĪSMA KHALID, BYLINE: So I've been spending quite a bit of time lately with Hillary Clinton, and there's this song that she habitually plays. Here's Sam Sanders, Asma Khalid and Susan Davis from the NPR Politics podcast. NPR's political reporters have heard these songs over and over again, and there's more than a couple that they're happy to leave behind after tonight.
They've been with the candidates at every stop, blared from the loudspeakers before and after the speeches. Certain songs have become the soundtrack to the presidential campaigns.
