I haven't listened to all of his songs but I definitely enjoy the message of the one's that I have.

1. Same Love (ft. Mary Lambert)

A 2012 song that spoke about LGBT people in a positive light. Stressing how LGBT individuals were being treated unfairly within society, this song thrived as a gay anthem. The music video also sheds a positive light on same-sex marriage.

2. Drug Dealer (ft. Ariana Deboo)

Handling the topic of drug addiction, Macklemore once again brought light to a relevant topic in 2016. Taking the listener into an addicts mind in a shockingly real way. Macklemore unapologetically calls out the government and pharmaceutical companies for there contribution to the drug addiction crisis.

3. Wing$

This song indirectly calls out those who have sacrificed their integrity for fame and money. It sheds light on the violence and murder that can accompany consumerism, specifically citing the surge inexpensive sport's shoes.

4. Growing Up (ft. Ed Sheeran) 

Talking about his uncertainty in being a father, Macklemore teams up with Ed Sheeran to create this beautiful song for his newborn daughter. Adding in advice for his daughter, this song is the perfect mixture of comedy and emotions that truly capture what its like to be a new parent.

5. Wednesday Morning 

In this ballad, Macklemore sings about post-presidential election America. He talks about social justice and remaining an activist no matter who the president is.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
