Starting Over - Macklemore & Ryan Lewis ft. Ben Bridwell (Band of Horses)

This song may be the most powerful song in their catalog to date. I was shocked when I first heard it, because I kind of looked up to Macklemore a lot because of Otherside. I figured  like, this guy has got it figured out and knows how to get over addictions. And then I heard this. I think it’s just as, if not more, powerful and heavy-hitting as Otherside.

It’s a real depiction of human struggle, showing that when you gain victory over a problem doesn’t mean you gain victory over it once and for all. It’s a daily battle that must be endured. 

“And you know what pain looks like, when you tell your dad you relapsed and look him directly into his face.”

“But I’d rather live telling the truth than be judged for my mistakes, than falsely held up, given props, loved, and praised.”

It’s the honesty in his writing that makes Macklemore my favorite. Beautiful song. My new favorite since The Heist dropped.

The End
Macklemore 

The End is in my top 3 by these guys. I love the strings and the horns at the end of the track, it gets me every time. So smooth.
