MUSIC MONDAY // MACKLEMORE

I CANNOT GO ANOTHER MUSIC MONDAY WITHOUT TALKING ABOUT THE AMAZING BEN HAGGERTY, KNOWN BY HIS STAGE NAME, MACKLEMORE. EVERY SONG OF HIS THAT HITS THE RADIO, ENDS UP ON REPEAT. "CANT HOLD US" HAS SUCH AN AWESOME BEAT AND IS THE ULTIMATE SONG TO BLAST. I'M ACTUALLY A CLOSET RAPPER SO THIS SONG IS A SUPER FUN ONE TO SING HAHA! :)

"WE CAME HERE TO LIVE LIFE LIKE NOBODY WAS WATCHING"

BUT MUSIC IS NOT JUST ABOUT A MELODY TO ME. LYRICS MEAN EVERYTHING AND HE STARTED WRITING HIS OWN AT JUST 14 YEARS OLD. I HAD SERIOUS CHILLS THE FIRST TIME I HEARD "SAME LOVE". HIS LYRICS SPOKE TO ME ON SUCH A DEEP LEVEL. THE WAY HE EXPRESSED HIS THOUGHTS FELT SO CONGRUENT WITH MY OWN. I AM SO INTRIGUED AND DRAWN TO AN INTELLECTUAL MIND SO ITS NO SHOCKER THAT I LOVE MACKLEMORE, AS WELL AS HIS CHOICE OF WORDS IN HIS SONGS.

NEEDLESS TO SAY, I'M A FAN!  AND I WANT TO BE FRIENDS...JUST THROWING THAT OUT THERE. ;)

LET THE NIGHT COME, BEFORE THE FIGHTS WON

SOME MIGHT RUN AGAINST THE TEST

BUT THOSE THAT TRIUMPH, EMBRACE THE FIGHT CAUSE

THEIR FEARS THEN PROVE THAT COURAGE EXISTS
