I'm 25 now. I have listened to you since you were known as Professor Macklemore. Open Your Eyes was the album that put me on. Can't believe how fast time flies. Thank you for inspiring me, man. Much love and thank you for helping me get through this crazy ass journey that we all call LIFE.
Mack, I doubt you’ll see this. But I might not listen to your music everyday anymore. But whenever I hear a song from you… It’s utter nostalgia and takes me back to the simplest of times of my life. When it was truly good. I’ll never forget those days. Thank you.
I know you problem won't see this, but your work has inspired and touched me. I have truly been in awe. I aspire to your as many others. Please don't stop writing and composing.
@@eliiskolmannes tf? so if a girl liked another girls music then it is considered lesbian??? no. its not “gay” to have a guy like another guys work.. (im not sure if @aj shields is a guy or not) dont call anything gay.. please, it’s insulting to some people. even if you dont know it.
This song made me realize who my real friends are. With some of my friends, I have to "fit in". Then with some of my other friends, I can be myself. Thanks to Macklemore, I realized who I should be with. :)
I remember my 7th grade english teacher giving us a lesson on analysis by giving us these song lyrics, years later halfway through college it still goes just as hard
This song represents how a few people can have so much power over everyone else. They can convince people to want nothing more than to fit in and be like them.
I just love all these songs from Macklemore because they have such a deep meaning, some examples are 'Same love' about that you don't need to be ashamed for being gay and you don't need to change yourself, 'Kevin' , 'Otherside' and his, pretty new song, 'Drug dealer' about the drug problems in America and how addictive they actually are. And also this one. He's pretty old I should say, but still it has such a beautiful meaning about that it doesn't matter if you wear clothes, or in this case shoes, of some branch or just a shirt from idk target? And I said this already like 3 times 😂 but I just love all his songs
@@taystayballin Look at OP's comment, that's better English spelling than most Americans these days, and the fact they felt the need to apologize for any mistakes they might have made simply just because English isn't their first language 😂
I wanna fly Can you take me far away Gimmie a star to reach for Tell me what it takes And I'll go so high I'll go so high My feet won't touch the ground Stitch my wings And pull the strings I bought these dreams That all fall down
Time sure Flys like Air Jordan. This is one of my favorite songs from "The Heist". I first heard this song when I was a freshman in high school. I'm 23 now and I found myself back to listening to this song after purchasing a pair of Air Maxes yesterday 😌 👌
I know Malkimore will never see this but thank you for making the best songs that motivate me! I wish I could give you a big hug but I know Ill never be able to meet you in my life time. For short thank you so much! Top 10 song artist ever!
God, the depth in this song 🤯 'It started with what I wear to school, that first day, like, these are what make you cool, and this pair, this'll be my parachute, so much more than a just pair of shoes. This is what I am, what I wore, this is the source of my youth, this dream that they sold you, $400 and some change, consumption is in the veins and now I see that it's just, another, pair, of shoes'
Heard this song when I was very young, loved it. Heard this song again last year, and when I did, I cried because it reminded me of the past. I love the memories, I wish I could relive them.
[Verse 1: Macklemore] I was seven years old when I got my first pair And I stepped outside, and I was like "Momma This air bubble right here, it's gonna make me fly" I hit that court, and when I jumped I jumped, I swear I got so high "I touched the net! Mom, I touched the net! This is the best day of my life" Air Maxes were next, that air bubble, that mesh The box, the smell, the stuffing, the thread, at school I was so cool, I knew that I couldn't crease 'em My friends couldn't afford 'em, four stripes on their Adidas On the court I wasn't the best, but my kicks were like the pros, yo Stick out my tongue so everyone could see that logo Nike Air Flight, book bag was so dope And then my friend Carlos's brother got murdered for his Fours Whoa See he just wanted a jump shot But they wanted his Starter coat, though Didn't wanna get caught from Genesee Park to Othello You'd get clowned for those Pro Wings, with the velcro, those were not tight I was tryna fly, without leaving the ground 'Cause I wanted to be like Mike, right, wanted to be him I wanted to be that guy, I wanted to touch the rim I wanted to be cool, and I wanted to fit in I wanted what he had, America, it begins [Hook: Children Choir] I wanna fly, can you take me far away? Give me a star to reach for Tell me what it takes And I'll go so high, I'll go so high My feet won't touch the ground Just stitch my wings and pull the strings I bought these dreams that all fall down [Verse 2: Macklemore] We want what we can't have The commodity makes us want it So expensive, damn, I just got to flaunt it Got to show 'em So exclusive, this that new shit A hundred dollars for a pair of shoes, I would never hoop in Look at me, look at me, I'm a cool kid I'm an individual, yeah, but I'm part of a movement My movement told me "Be a consumer" And I consumed it They told me to just do it I listened to what that swoosh said Look at what that swoosh did See it consumed my thoughts "Are you stupid? Don’t crease 'em! Just leave 'em in that box!" Strangled by these laces, laces I can barely talk That's my air bubble and I'm lost, if it pops We are what we wear, we wear what we are But see I look inside the mirror and think Phil Knight tricked us all Will I stand for change, or stay in my box? These Nikes help me define me But I'm trying to take mine off [Hook: Children Choir] I wanna fly, can you take me far away? Give me a star to reach for Tell me what it takes And I'll go so high, I'll go so high My feet won't touch the ground Just stitch my wings and pull the strings I bought these dreams that all fall down [Outro: Macklemore] They started out with what I wear to school That first day Like these are what make you cool And this pair, this would be my parachute So much more than just a pair of shoes Nah, this is what I am What I wore, this is the source of my youth This dream that they sold to you For a hundred dollars and some change Consumption is in the veins And now I see it's just another pair of shoes
I absolutely vibe with Macklemore. he does such good music and it all has some sorta meaning. But I love how he doesn't have to rap about drugs and women and all the other stuff everyone else raps about. If you listen, most of the time it just makes sense.
Mike really did make you feel like you could fly just by watching him play. Rarely do athletes have that effect. That's why we bought his shoes. To be like him. If only in the smallest of ways.
This song has such a deep meaning.....i think it means ...don't get addicted and don't boast,it will all end in pain. this is my explanation explain yours
It is how a small group of people who glorify a product or a lifestyle can change your views so quickly. In the video after he sees the other kid with the same shoes, he realizes that maybe he isn't so special and that lifestyle that he wanted wasn't so exclusive to him. That's just me tho
THIS SONG " I REMEMBER KOBE PASS AWAY IM SO CRYING EVERY NIGHT!! WHEN I CHILDHOOD KOBE IS MY FAVORITE BASKETBALL PLAYER IN EHOLE WORLD BUT HE'S GONE .....I WANT TO PURSUE MY CAREER TO ACHIEVE THE BEST PLAYER IN OUR TOWN ...NO24 ILOVE YOU KOBE "BLACK MAMBA"

I love the part when the kids are singing it touches my heart 💓 im pretty sure a lot of us was like dis when we got dat first pair of Jordans and/or Nikes.. 👟✈️ Dude so inspiring It makes me feel like I can do anything
For all the warriors who train every day and strive to change their lives physically and mentally in all aspects! Don't give up okay! We must never give up because the more we dedicate What we do people are proud of us! We don't need to prove anything but one thing is for sure! we are relentless
Every word in this song makes me wanna chase my dreams for as long as I live. Air max's were next that air bubble that mesh the box the smell the stuffing the tread in school,I was so cool I knew I couldn't crease them,my friends couldn't afford them Four stripes on their Adidas. Is my favourite part.

People need to hear this. Especially now with the Stanley cup craze, items don't define you.

[Verse 1: Macklemore]
I was seven years old when I got my first pair
And I stepped outside, and I was like "Momma
This air bubble right here, it's gonna make me fly"
I hit that court, and when I jumped
I jumped, I swear I got so high
"I touched the net! Mom, I touched the net!
This is the best day of my life"
Air Maxes were next, that air bubble, that mesh
The box, the smell, the stuffing, the thread, at school
I was so cool, I knew that I couldn't crease 'em
My friends couldn't afford 'em, four stripes on their Adidas
On the court I wasn't the best, but my kicks were like the pros, yo
Stick out my tongue so everyone could see that logo
Nike Air Flight, book bag was so dope
And then my friend Carlos's brother got murdered for his Fours
Whoa
See he just wanted a jump shot
But they wanted his Starter coat, though
Didn't wanna get caught from Genesee Park to Othello
You'd get clowned for those Pro Wings, with the velcro, those were not tight
I was tryna fly, without leaving the ground
'Cause I wanted to be like Mike, right, wanted to be him
I wanted to be that guy, I wanted to touch the rim
I wanted to be cool, and I wanted to fit in
I wanted what he had, America, it begins
[Hook: Children Choir]
I wanna fly, can you take me far away?
Give me a star to reach for
Tell me what it takes
And I'll go so high, I'll go so high
My feet won't touch the ground
Just stitch my wings and pull the strings
I bought these dreams that all fall down
[Verse 2: Macklemore]
We want what we can't have
The commodity makes us want it
So expensive, damn, I just got to flaunt it
Got to show 'em
So exclusive, this that new shit
A hundred dollars for a pair of shoes, I would never hoop in
Look at me, look at me, I'm a cool kid
I'm an individual, yeah, but I'm part of a movement
My movement told me "Be a consumer"
And I consumed it
They told me to just do it
I listened to what that swoosh said
Look at what that swoosh did
See it consumed my thoughts
"Are you stupid? Don’t crease 'em! Just leave 'em in that box!"
Strangled by these laces, laces I can barely talk
That's my air bubble and I'm lost, if it pops
We are what we wear, we wear what we are
But see I look inside the mirror and think Phil Knight tricked us all
Will I stand for change, or stay in my box?
These Nikes help me define me
But I'm trying to take mine off
[Hook: Children Choir]
I wanna fly, can you take me far away?
Give me a star to reach for
Tell me what it takes
And I'll go so high, I'll go so high
My feet won't touch the ground
Just stitch my wings and pull the strings
I bought these dreams that all fall down
[Outro: Macklemore]
They started out with what I wear to school
That first day
Like these are what make you cool
And this pair, this would be my parachute
So much more than just a pair of shoes
Nah, this is what I am
What I wore, this is the source of my youth
This dream that they sold to you
For a hundred dollars and some change
Consumption is in the veins
And now I see it's just another pair of shoes
This song is so good
Thank you for your music it means something we need more music like this music that has a story and changes people
