Glorious Lyrics

[Verse 1: Macklemore]
You know I'm back, like I never left (I never left)
Another sprint, another step (Another step)
Another day, another breath (Another breath)
Been chasing dreams, but I never slept (I never slept)
I got a new attitude and a lease on life and some peace of mind
Seek and I find, I can sleep when I die
Want a piece of the pie, grab the keys to the ride
And shit I'm straight, I'm on my wave, I'm on my wave
Get out my wake, I'm running late, what can I say?
I heard you die twice, once when they bury you in the grave
And the second time is the last time that somebody mentions your name
So when I leave here on this earth, did I take more than I gave?
Did I look out for the people, or did I do it all for fame?
Legend, it's exodus, searching for euphoria
Trudging through the mud to find the present, no ignoring us
Got 20,000 deep off in the street like we some warriors
My mama told me never bow your head, woo

[Chorus: Skylar Grey]
I feel glorious, glorious
Got a chance to start again
I was born for this, born for this
It's who I am, how could I forget?
I made it through the darkest part of the night
And now I see the sunrise
Now I feel glorious, glorious
I feel glorious, glorious

[Verse 2: Macklemore]
I'm feeling glorious
The crib looking Victorian (Oh yes it is)
You know that we been going in (Been going in)
Since we hopped out that DeLorean (DeLorean, yeah we win)
En garde, things are just things, they don't make you who you are
Can't pack up a U-Haul and take it with you when you're gone
We posted on the porch, my family's glasses to the stars
My grandma smiling down on me like "Woo, that boy got bars"
Okay, okay, yes I do
I said amen and hallelujah, let me testify too
Another morning, a morning, won't let self get in my way
I got my breath, I got my faith and I remember why I came, woo

[Chorus: Skylar Grey]
I feel glorious, glorious
Got a chance to start again
I was born for this, born for this
It's who I am, how could I forget?
I made it through the darkest part of the night
And now I see the sunrise
Now I feel glorious, glorious
I feel glorious, glorious

[Bridge: Skylar Grey]
We gon' be alright, put that on my life
When I open my eyes, hope I see you shine
We're planting a flag, they don't understand
The world is up for grabs (Hey, hey, hey)
We gon' be alright, put that on my life
When I open my eyes, hope I see you shine
We're planting a flag, they don't understand
The world is up for grabs (Hey, hey, hey)

[Chorus: Skylar Grey]
I feel glorious, glorious
Got a chance to start again
I was born for this, born for this
It's who I am, how could I forget?
I made it through the darkest part of the night
And now I see the sunrise
Now I feel glorious, glorious
I feel glorious, glorious

Macklemore feels glorious on his appropriately titled, platinum-certified single featuring Skylar Grey, released June 15, 2017.

Full of renewed confidence, Macklemore expresses a great desire to create new music. Skylar on the choruses acts as his inner voice, emphasizing his passion for music and reinforcing the feeling that he was born to make music.

The single had the nature of a comeback song, being Macklemore's first release after half a year and 2016's "Wednesday Morning", his first solo music after parting ways with producer Ryan Lewis, and the first single from a new album.

Macklemore's daughter Sloane teased the song ahead of its release before Macklemore revealed title and feature one day later. The song's music video stars Macklemore's 100-year-old grandma Helen.

Ask us a question about this song

When I finished touring last fall, I wanted to keep making music. I didn't know what that would look like but I had an immediate urge to write. To record. Not out of a desire to "keep up" with the music industry - or out of some self-imposed pressure - but rather to create for the sake of creating.

[...] So, last November, I built a studio in the basement of my home and got back to the basics. I was able to find a balance with my art, recovery and being a dad. I felt the perfect amount of removal from an industry that can be tricky to spiritually navigate. I wanted to be around Sloane and Tricia as much as possible. I wanted to make an album and raise my baby girl.

So here it is. The first song from my new album is "Glorious". It features the incredibly talented Skylar Grey and was produced by Budo with additional production from Tyler Dopps (Aka "DAMN DUDE"!). It felt like the right record to come back with, embarking on this new chapter of life.

I just want to thank you guys for always supporting and riding with me. I appreciate your endless love and words more than I could ever express. You're the reason I'm still able to do what I love around the world. "Glorious" is just the start... Ben

After nine years of collaborating, two conjoint albums and EPs, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis have decided to musically go separate ways for the time being. Macklemore comments on this in the Instagram post presentating "Glorious":

After the last tour, Ryan and I agreed that some creative space would be good for the both of us. Ryan Lewis is my brother forever. We have been working together damn near every day for 9 years and it felt like the right time. This decision came from a place of love for one another. I'm the best man at his wedding next month. There will be more M&RL music to come when the time is right. And you'll be hearing from Ryan very, very soon (he has some incredible records that are about to drop with other artists). [...]

Ryan Lewis actually loves the new song.

"Glorious" by Macklemore is a rap song that came out in July, 2017. The song feature the vocals of Skyler Grey and is in Macklemore's "Gemini" album. The speaker in "Glorious" is Macklemore who is trying to tell the audience that the key to living a happy and fulfilling life is through leaving a positive impact on the world. The lyrics use the appeals of pathos and ethos to display this message. The video also uses the appeals of pathos and ethos, but the video doesn't display this message. The message in the video tries to align with the lyrics but they differ in a way.

# data[].attributes.body
As I stated earlier, Macklemore is the speaker throughout the whole song. He is trying to get his message across about his life and what he has accomplished. This song was made to reflect on his success and what he has done with his life. This would be the occasion of the piece and why it was made. The audience is anyone that is dissatisfied with themselves and wants to live a happy life. The purpose of this song is to tell us about the life Macklemore has lived and how he believes he has lived a good life. I believe the subject is all about living a happy and fulfilling life. Finding a passion and something you love to do is fulfilling and Macklemore did this with music. Finally the tone, the tone is upbeat and happy because Macklemore believes he has lived a good life and he feels "glorious" about this.

# data[].attributes.body
Macklemore has three distinct spots that he uses the appeal of pathos in and I am going to identify them to try and boost the strength of the identified message of the song.
The first example is when Macklemore says, "Can't pack up a U-Haul and take it with you when you're gone." This line is trying to talk about material items and how they are meaningless when you die. The more important part is the human impact you have. Macklemore is trying to make the listener reflect on themselves and what they've done to help others. This could be a sad line if you only care about material items and not about the impact you have on others.
The second example is when Macklemore says, "My grandma smiling down on me like woo, that boy got bars." Macklemore is talking about one of his grandmas that has died and went to heaven. During this part of the song Macklemore identifies that he has been successful because his grandma sees him as someone that "has bars" and this is a good thing in the genre of rap. It means they have good lines and flow in their music. This is in the appeals of pathos because Macklemore is talking about his deceased grandmother and this is a sad subject to talk about. This could make people feel a little sad if they heard it and actually listened to it.
The last example is when Macklemore says, "I feel glorious, glorious." Macklemore repeats this line many times throughout the song because he finally feels that his life is complete and he feels accomplished. This line stuck out to me and made me feel really happy. I feel very warm and just happy when someone is able to find their passion in life and when someone has had a happy and fulfilling life.
These examples of pathos help strengthen the overall message of the song by talking about the emotional aspect of living a happy life.

There are many evident uses of ethos in the Lyrics, so I will keep it to three of the most important examples.
The first use is when Macklemore says, "Been chasing dreams, but I never slept." This quote is at the start of the song and it sets up the whole song. In this line of the song Macklemore is stating what he has been working for and how big it is. He says that he has been working towards his dream, but he hasn't taken a break in doing so.
The second use is when Macklemore says, "So when I leave here on this Earth, did I take more than I gave?" This part is when Macklemore starts to talk about his life as a person and what he has done. He is trying to reflect on his impact on the world and this shows us the type of person he truly is. Macklemore believes you must leave a positive impact on the world in order to live a happy and fulfilling life.
The third use is when Macklemore says, "Did I look out for the people or did I do it all for fame?" In this line Macklemore is reflecting on his impact again. Being that this is the second time he is reflecting on himself it tells the listener its very important to the song and the overall message.
So, the use of pathos in "Glorious" by Macklemore help tell us what kind of person Macklemore is and the life he wanted to live. This fits closely with the previously identified message of this song.

The music video takes place in California and the camera follows Macklemore and his grandma around for her 100th birthday. Macklemore came down from Seattle to surprise his grandma and celebrate her birthday with her. They are seen doing many fun things throughout the day. Some of the activities include: egging a house, doing karaoke, grilling out, buying clothes, and watching the sunset over a lake. The video is trying to make us feel super happy and heartwarming because we see a grandson and grandma doing fun fulfilling things. Macklemore might have done this because he didn't know how much time he had left with his grandma. His grandma ended up dying around four years after this video was made.

Just like the Lyrics, Macklemore is still the speaker as well in the music video. The occasion is to celebrate his grandma Helen's 100th birthday. Thinking deeper I can infer Macklemore wanted to do these things with her so she can always remember it and feel more fulfilled with her life if she isn't already. The audience is someone with an older relative. I think Macklemore is wanting other people to do this with their family. He wants to show people the impact it can have on someone. The purpose of the video was to give his grandma a day she will always remember by doing fun and spontaneous things. The subject of the music video is still living a happy and accomplishing life because they are doing things in the video that look fun and accomplishing. Just to say you egged a house or did karaoke is cool in itself. They are random things that someone wouldn't normally do. Now, with the tone it is obvious that the tone is happy and upbeat because we watch Macklemore and his grandma do fun things all day.

There are 3 cases in which ethos are used throughout the music video. One example is throughout the whole song when Macklemore is doing fun things with his grandma. The second example is at 0:33 when Macklemore gifts his grandma with a Cadillac convertible. The last example is at 2:20 when Macklemore gets a tattoo of his grandma's name.

# data[].attributes.body
There are three cases when Macklemore uses pathos as an appeal in the Music video. One example is when Grandma Helen says, "you made me cry" at 0:13. This is not a part of the lyrics, so I used it for the music video. The second example is at 1:02 when Helen and Macklemore are waving their hands in the Cadillac convertible. The last example is at 4:04 when Macklemore has his hand on his grandmas' hand.

As I stated in the video, through a deeper analysis on the meaning of the song "Glorious" I was able to find that the lyrics and music video do align with the message that I have identified. Looking at Pathos and ethos examples I was able to change my original thesis and make it better and more correct. Macklemore is trying to tell the audience that the key to living a happy and fulfilling life is through leaving a positive impact on the world. The lyrics use the appeals of pathos and ethos to display this message properly. The music video uses the appeals of pathos and ethos to give a visual example of the message the lyrics are trying to display. To conclude, through the careful examination of the video I was able to think deeper into the meaning and find that both the lyrics and music video align together to form a general message to the audience.
