I really enjoy the songs from the album titled, \u201cThe Heist\u201d, that I have heard already.
\nSongs such as Thrift Shop and Can\u2019t Hold Us. \u00a0One thing I really gravitate to with the songs is their universal nature. \u00a0They\u2019re very uplifting to anyone that hears it.<\/p>\n

And if you really listen to the lyrics and pay attention to what Macklemore is saying you\u2019ll realize that he is promoting self authenticity, and expressing that you can be yourself and still be successful.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat validation comes from giving it back to the people. Now sing a song and it goes like<\/em>
\nRaise those hands, this is our party<\/em>
\nWe came here to live life like nobody was watching<\/em>
\nI got my city right behind me<\/em>
\nIf I fall, they got me. Learn from that failure gain humility and then we keep marching ourselves.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

You can notice that songs like Can\u2019t Hold Us, and Thrift Shop are not you\u2019re typical songs or videos, but they are true to what Macklemore and Ryan Lewis believe in and that is powerful when you spread that message across the world. \u00a0Empowering the people and telling them that it is ok to be themselves no matter what anyone says.<\/p>\n

Take a look at some of the things Macklemore and Ryan Lewis say about the video in this behind the scenes look.<\/p>\n

I definitely agree that the song is \u2018mood music\u2019 and I find that it gets me a bit pumped every time I hear it.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a look at the amazing video. \u00a0If you\u2019re looking for something exotic and full of energy then I\u2019m sure you won\u2019t be\u00a0disappointed.<\/p>\n

I know another group of people that support self-empowerment. \u00a0And when I watch the video and the message I believe it\u2019s sending it makes me think of this group of over 100,000 people. \u00a0The amazing things this group continues to do, and how they continue to change the lives for people around the world.<\/p>\n

And they\u2019re all a group of badass people that want you to be yourself, and be successful being yourself too. \u00a0Click to become a badass too because you\u2019re more powerful than you think you are.<\/p>\n
