    Macklemore keeps on getting better and better. I wish most rap music would have such strong messages behind them.

      Yes, rap is good and all, mainly cause of the beat, but macklemore makes the beat and the lyrics collide to make a inspirational song that is way better than anything else

    I am absolutely stunned by this. This is true music and you maclemore are my favorite musician to ever live because your music is meaningful and has purpose not about sex and drugs being the highlight of your life. You rose through that and because of that you have cemented yourself as a hero and a great dad. Love you man never stop

  • @camdyork
    @camdyork Před 6 lety +11

    So awesome. I've been listening to Macklemore for over seven years - his music has inspired me from the start. I didn't think music could have such a positive influence on my life's outlook, but this guy has certainly done that. Much love.

  • @graceday4835
    @graceday4835 Před 6 lety +11

    Macklemore, I went to go see you in Portland and it was literally the best day of my life. Most rappers these days don’t rap about important things, only money and how hot their girls are. I support everything you stand for. Thank you.

    Macklemore, you just get better and better, and more honest, and vulnerable, and caring, and loving, and GANGSTER as the years go by. I've followed you since the beginning and I am inspired daily by how you nourish our souls. PREACH on BROTHER and pour that magic on the hearts of men.

    Fill my lungs up, pour my heart out, peel my bones away
    Grab my window, shut my shutters, excavate my pain
    [Macklemore:]
    If I could read the world my notebook and these thoughts in it
    Would they judge me or love me for what I've written?
    Tryna get closer to spirt that enters the body
    It's the vessel like I'm not in it
    In fifty-something years, I won't be here
    There'll be a kid with some headphones covering his ears
    Walking 'round a hallway, dreaming of ideas
    Find himself in the sound 'cause music is a mirror
    What you looking for? What you headed towards?
    What's your name worth when they mention yours?
    When you leave here, are you stepping forward?
    Can you remember your intention when they question yours?
    They're gonna question yours, they're gonna question yours
    I've been at rock bottom and I'm headed North
    If you don't love yourself, what's the respect for?
    If you don't love life, the check won't correct yours
    Excavate
    [Saint Claire:]
    Fill my lungs up, pour my heart out, peel my bones away
    Grab my window, shut my shutters, excavate my pain
    And I found peace
    And I found peace
    And I found peace
    [Macklemore:]
    I had this vision of my death
    Surrounded by people I love and respect
    And the baby blue Cadillac hearse
    Pulling me 'round the block that I rep
    The greatest fear that I've ever kept is dying with regrets
    Like was I just alive for success
    Or did I leave a better life for the rest?
    My greatest achievement isn't the dollars
    My greatest achievement isn't the followers
    My greatest achievement isn't the accolades
    My greatest achievement is my daughter
    Waking up in the morning, being a father
    Watching the light kiss her eyelids
    Hearing her sing along to Chance
    And being like, "yeah, that's my kid"
    The light started to glow
    And the saxophone funk called-train started to blow
    Tender, laying in the snow, turn on my headphones
    Couple miles to go before I run out of road
    Excavate
    [Saint Claire:]
    Fill my lungs up, pour my heart out, peel my bones away
    Grab my window, shut my shutters, excavate my pain
    And I found peace
    And I found peace
    And I found peace
    [Macklemore:]
    Hold me up into the light and study every part of me
    I'm an open book, no, I don't mind, but sometimes I'm hard to read
    Just flesh and bone, I'm headed home
    But this life is so hard to leave
    But who am I when they cut the lights and nobody's watching me?
    Hold me up into the light and study every part of me
    I'm an open book, no, I don't mind, but sometimes I'm hard to read
    Just flesh and bone, I'm headed home
    But this life is so hard to leave
    But who am I when they cut the lights and nobody's watching me?

    @ItsJustJenn77 Před 6 lety

    My favorite song off Gemini. It reminds me of my dad. He got diagnosed with a pretty terminal brain cancer this past march. So many things have changed in my family's life in these last few months. He's had to make the decision to close the business he built, we've had some pretty tough conversations, but something like this truly does bring more meaning to life. This song just very chillingly yet contently reminds me of where we're at. (p.s. - he's also a Gemini)

    • @AWmagazine1
      @AWmagazine1 Před 6 lety +4

      I felt the same too ye! Not because it's different from the album version, the drums just sound too powerful for a song like this, in my opinion. The power in this song for me is the transition between Macklemore's beautiful verses and the vocals of another artist is the chorus, like many more songs of him.
