All right, I finally listened to The Heist. About halfway through it I thought, “Wow, this is a great album.” Totally deserving of its unprecedented success and hype, ESPECIALLY for an indie record. I could tell this song about the fight for sobriety, from the perspective of Macklemore as a recovering alcoholic, was one of my favorites from the album even before the gorgeous strings kicked in. It wasn’t even one of the album’s three chart-topping singles. This song makes me visualize some kind of wooded small town area in the deep South. It draws a parallel between church and alcoholism (more broadly, with substance dependency functioning as a sort of religion). I love the production on this, how it evolves as the song goes along instead of staying static on a loop like in most songs.
Note: I really like this lyrics video, which has HD, except for that I detected some incorrect lyrics.

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis feat. Ray Dalton - Can’t Hold Us
Dang! I didn’t know Macklemore had flow! Get it, son! I heard this song in a commercial just the
other day and liked it enough to look it up online—to discover I’m not the only one to search for it,
and that it’s the work of this hip hop team I keep hearing about these days. This is the third song
I’ve heard by them, and I think I’m done resisting the trend because I’ve liked all three so far. The
first was touching, the second was funny, and this one, the third, is freakin’ catchy. So I’m sold.
And can I just say: Finally a hip hop artist is blowing up who probably deserves it.
Note: HD listening again, yo!
