this album used to comfort me when i was around 12 or 13 during the beginning of my depression and i couldnt figure out why i was in so much pain. now im 20 and i just remembered this album
I Thank god for the musicians who've made music that really helped me get through my mental and physical issues. They still do today, but not to the degree I needed them back then.
my pain started when i was around 10, when my stepdad came into the picture. i found some music i listened to back then, when things got sad and i remembered what i thought when i listened to it. i just turned 29, and the pain is no better, its only found new ways to hurt. they say there's an end to the tunnel, but I still haven't found it and im not sure i will
This dude is a true M.C.! Real bars about real life circumstances that make u think About the real pains of living! And legitimate suggestions of how to begin rectifying our broken society! That's why he got the Grammy! We all love good vibe, feel good rap, that's why DRIZZY is the top guy! But MACK makes u uncomfortable with his Moral questioning society critiquing, socially aware style! But it's what's needed , especially now! And he can SPIT! RYAN LEWIS IS A GREAT COMPOSER OF MUSIC! THIS ALBUM SUPRISED ME MUSICALLY! 9 OUTTA 10 DEF
This album would comfort me at 14 and now at 25 I’ve actually struggled with vices and this actually applies to me a lot more than I ever imagined it would.
Same man, this very album kept me going through a horrible family situation when I was only 12-13 years old... I owe him so much honestly, hope things are better for you now :)
I'm 25 now. I have listened to you since you were known as Professor Macklemore. Open Your Eyes was the album that put me on. Can't believe how fast time flies. Thank you for inspiring me, man. Much love and thank you for helping me get through this crazy ass journey that we all call LIFE.
I don't know why, but i would die in peace while listening this song. The lyrics hits me so hard in this difficult time we live. I used to listen to thrift shop and cant hold us when I was a child, but now I know how incredible this album is. Even if I'm a brazilian fan, your songs are helping me so much during this quaratine. Thank you so much.
I was about about 10 years old was going through some hard ass depressive thoughts and this song is what got me through the day at the time.. The whole heist album just gives me nostalgic vibes. I come back every time and now.
That chorus is so damned powerful! This whole song is a masterpiece and that chorus is the cherry on top of it "listen close as I testify, dependancy has been a thief at night, a thief at night" man oh man
Highly recommend people check out Allen Stone's stuff too. Very phenomenal singer and song writer. Also, for those below me, not being signed doesn't mean you don't own any copyright. That's not how copyright works.

Lyrics:
Aha
Uhm
1-2
Round here they sing broken hymns
They prayers flow better when I’m soaked in gin
The air is rusty and sits in the corner
Bad bartender that’ll pickpocket your heart
And a jukebox that’ll steal your quarter
Bartender, please give me a confession
Exchange fear for courage in the form of a well drink
There’s a heavy current, got a long way to swim
Closed the Bible a while ago, I need some shots for this sin
Hail Mary, come with me, feel like Pac when it hits
Got some fire in my belly and a riot in the gut
Bushmills for a bandade, the sweet taste of blood
Then I might actually feel something if I don’t cover it up
Watch their faces, familiar places
Even if they didn’t left it by the booth that they stayed in
The motel next door, a sign that reads vacant
And a truth that’s so strong I’d be a fool not to chase it
But yea, I’m a fool and I stay here
Hope these problems bail themselves, I die in wait here
One more, four more, bucket a night cap
Service starts at 5 tomorrow and I’ll be right back
Underneath this fragile fate
Lives a battle between pride and shame
But I’ve misplaced that sense of fight
This crown of thorns is crunched inside my spine
But listen closely as I testify
Dependency has been a thief at night
Thief at night, thief at night
I read the Bible but I forgot the verses
The liquor store is open later than the churches
Pure by their imperfections, everything is burning
To hell with the confessions, oh the Lord immerses
Blessed in holy water, the sin of Holy Father
Have you ever smelled bless that smells atmonic vodka
11 AM in the morning and you can’t get it off yet
Comment to the preacher but it’s like the pastor isn’t talking
Until the store opens I can read up on that doctrine
The people close to me say I’m in need of a doctor
Think that I got a problem but these are not apostils
This the drink of the Lord, that’s according to my gospel
Open to interpretation, if you’re judging it I don’t want it
I got tins that scole like my throat when I hit the bottle
And I’m sinking and that’s why I keep on drinking
I need a refill, bar more than once every weekend
Sweet Jesus, I’m getting amnesia
Shaking til I’d get a taste, my faith is having seizures
Every time I walk away and try to leave it
Every time I walk away and try to leave it
Wouldn’t miss it for the world
Baptized in my vices and the bar is my church
Traded my artist and I conned off the easel
Spend it all searching for God at the neon cathedral
Wouldn’t miss it for the world
Baptized my vices and the bar is my church
Traded my artist and I conned off the easel
Spend it all searching for God, neon cathedral
Neon cathedral
Underneath this fragile fate
Lives a battle between pride and shame
But I’ve misplaced that sense of fight
This crown of thorns is crunched inside my spine
But listen closely as I testify
Dependency has been a thief at night
Thief at night, thief at night
Dependency has been a thief at night
Thief at night, thief at night
Dependency has been a thief at night
Thief at night, thief at night

Too much quarantine
