“If you don’t love life a check won’t correct yours.” Wow! I’m speechless! ❤️
*life,
can you please describe me that phraze ? :) , "check won’t correct yours", i dont know what that means ..
Jakub Rožtek I think when he says the word check he’s referring to a checkbook or money. Basically saying, “Money won’t correct your life and make you happy.”
There would be less confusion if Americans used the British spelling - cheque
Love that line! ❤️
"My greatest achievement is my daughter"
SO SWEET!!!!! He's such a great dad❤❤
The saddest part is being a good dad but not being able to see your daughter bc the other parent doesn't allow that unless it's settled in court. Even then you aren't fully in your kids life.
[Chorus: Saint Claire]
Fill my lungs up, pour my heart out, peel my bones away
Grab my window, shut my shutters, excavate my pain
[Verse 1: Macklemore]
If I could read the world my notebook and these thoughts in it
Would they judge me or love me for what I've written?
Tryna get closer to spirit that enters the body
It's the vessel like I'm not in it
In fifty-something years, I won't be here
There'll be a kid with some headphones covering his ears
Walking 'round a hallway, dreaming of ideas
Find himself in the sound 'cause music is a mirror
What you looking for? What you headed towards?
What's your name worth when they mention yours?
When you leave here, are you stepping forward?
Can you remember your intention when they question yours?
They're gonna question yours, they're gonna question yours
I've been at rock bottom and I'm headed North
If you don't love yourself, what's the respect for?
If you don't love life, the check won't correct yours
Excavate
[Chorus: Saint Claire]
Fill my lungs up, pour my heart out, peel my bones away
Grab my window, shut my shutters, excavate my pain
And I found peace
And I found peace
And I found peace
[Verse 2: Macklemore]
I had this vision of my death
Surrounded by people I love and respect
And the baby blue Cadillac hearse
Pulling me 'round the block that I rep
The greatest fear that I've ever kept is dying with regrets
Like was I just alive for success
Or did I leave a better life for the rest?
My greatest achievement isn't the dollars
My greatest achievement isn't the followers
My greatest achievement isn't the accolades
My greatest achievement is my daughter
Waking up in the morning, being a father
Watching the light kiss her eyelids
Hearing her sing along to Chance
And being like, "yeah, that's my kid"
The light started to glow
And the saxophone funk called-train started to blow
Tender, laying in the snow, turn on my headphones
Couple miles to go before I run out of road
Excavate
[Chorus: Saint Claire]
Fill my lungs up, pour my heart out, peel my bones away
Grab my window, shut my shutters, excavate my pain
And I found peace
And I found peace
And I found peace
[Outro: Macklemore]
Hold me up into the light and study every part of me
I'm an open book, no, I don't mind, but sometimes I'm hard to read
Just flesh and bone, I'm headed home
But this life is so hard to leave
But who am I when they cut the lights and nobody's watching me?
Hold me up into the light and study every part of me
I'm an open book, no, I don't mind, but sometimes I'm hard to read
Just flesh and bone, I'm headed home
But this life is so hard to leave
But who am I when they cut the lights and nobody's watching me?
Gemini
Lucas S thanks!

My greatest achievement isn't the dollars, My greatest achievement isn't the followers, My greatest achievement isn't the accolades, My greatest achievement is my Daughter.....❤️
If you don't love life, the check wont correct yours...
i'm not even a father but i cried when i heard that line.
Amen!
"My greatest achievement is my daughter." WHOS CUTTING THE ONIONS ?!?
Makes me cry eveytime
"sniff" Me
"If you don't love yourself what's the respect for"
Both of their voices are so incredible.
I loved this, so. so. much.
Thank you so much Macklemore. You've changed my life for the better
that's not true
DotA. Diamond mudou a minha vida também...
Are you DotA. Diamond?
It’s just my 2 daughters and I and occasionally I listen to this song and sneak a tear before they notice. I love my babies more than anything and the sacrifices day in and day out are worth every second. It has never been hard being their daddy, the hardest part is worrying that I haven’t given more of myself knowing that they already own it all. ❤️
My greatest achievement isn't the dollars
My greatest achievement isn't the followers
My greatest achievement isn't the accolades
My greatest achievement is my daughter
Waking up in the morning, being a father
and after that, there isn't much else sir...
Amen !
💯💓
But you have to have the dollars so you can say dollars ain't an achievement tho
This is a forgotten song. I will never forget it though
Macklemore is love, Macklemore is life.
Bryan Gonzalez yasssssssssssss
De nuevo usted >:v
Pablo Arias Gracias por no insultar :v
Bryan Gonzalez Es un chiste we :v te amo papu
Bryan Gonzalez jajaja no mas no insulten va :v
Wow this actually brought tears to my eyes. Such a powerful artist
"My greatest achievement is my daughter"
That tore me apart, man
Natan Surjus for real can’t believe the emotion behind this song
macklemore's going hard this year song after song keep going
I mean i wanted to listen to the entire album tonight but i cant stop replaying this song. This is just fucking amazing
"My greatest achievement is my daughter" Spoken by a true man
Absolutely the most underrated song of this album. This song speaks volumes about Ben's lows, highs and the future. You can really follow his journey from Otherside to now, incredibly insightful.
Best album I’ve ever heard!
Best song on the album!
“Would they judge me or love me for what I’ve written” ❤️❤️
“My daughter is my greatest achievement” Sweetest dad ever...:💛💛💛
Yo real shit if ur scrolling through the comments just stop turn ur phone over and listen to the song with no distractions. This is some real shit right here really and it really speaks to u
Thanks
This is definitely my favourite on the album! Incredible.
This song is incredible.
I don't know why so many people hate Macklemore to me dude is super underrated I mean The Heist wasn't better than Good Kid Madd City but the shit wasn't trash he's very good with a pen great at bringing out emotion and writing thought provoking con tent like I don't get it even Mack himself admitted he didn't deserve that Grammy blame them not him.
You’re my inspiration. Not just for this song but for so many. We were born on the same day and I share so many of the same views. I don’t excavate enough but you’ve lifted me to push harder to do the same. Love you brother 👍🏻
This song takes me somewhere. This song makes me so grateful for everything. This song makes me feel a certain kind of way. It really hit somewhere special. Thank you
Best song on Gemini
Agreed surprised by the small amount of views
no the best song is definitly good old days
Macklemore was me and my dad’s favorite artist and thrift shop was our song we love that song and I don’t know what would have happened if Macklemore never made music he truly changed my life and now my dad has passed away I listen to him every day and I feel like crying of joy because he’s truly has changed my life and made me who I am
For me this is on the Top 3 songs off the album for sure
That line about his daughter tho!!! love it
you're the only artist that set me in tears
Ella Ledin same
macklemore is not like other rappers ... he is so special and every line of every of his songs is so special and meaningful and he is a great father
Ugggggghhhh, their voices are so good! The whole song in general is getting me in my feels. Such a beautiful song💙💜💙
Jaylah Jones I feel the same 🤞🏻
I think very few if any artists will be able to achieve the sincerity that Macklemore does when he writes and records a song. There's zero deception. Only honesty. That's how he always was as an artist. This is one of my favourite songs from him. Thank you Macklemore for being yourself.
who's here because Macklemore has something to say
Sam Tiller everyone has something to say look at the comments its just not macklemore
totally me
Something about the first 18 seconds specifically. I can feel this song in my soul
love this song, great closer!!
Beautiful.
Never stop making music Ben. You're amazing
I love it! Thank you so much for being here for us! :)
I'm listening to the whole Gemini album, and it's... it's... it's... EXTRAORDINARY!!!😍😍😍🖤🖤🖤
One of the best, most meaningful introspective songs I've heard this year.
I'm so so so inlove :') macklemore is the only artist I actually fan girl over, he is so amazing. I remember listening to him when I was in grade 6 and im now in my first year of university, I love him. He is so talented
Love this song. Kind of reminds me of the steps of NA/AA that I know he's involved with when he talks about the spirit filling him, how he found peace; how he was at rock bottom going north and was scared to leave the life behind. And about who he is as a person when nobody is watching. I love it
This song spoke to me on a personal level like so few others do.
Thank you Macklemore for giving us music like this, for allowing us to see what life is like through your eyes and how we all can connect through the music. Thank you for being brave enough to put your thoughts down in song, and for letting us hear it. Thank you for being human and showing that sometimes our flaws make us perfect. Thank you for understanding me like a lot of the people I'm closest to don't. Thank you for being a Gemini, and showing us your different sides. No one really understands a Gemini like another Gemini can. We can be two conflicting personalities, with different interests and character traits and music taste, somehow existing in harmony as one person. No one knows what we're like when they aren't around. No one knows but us. It's hard sometimes to open up to people, to let a complete stranger hear your life story. But sometimes that's the best way to make a connection with someone. So thank you for this musical journey. Thank you for the songs, thank you for the stories, the good, the bad, the crazy, the exiting, the sentimental. Thank you for being you for us. Thank you Macklemore. Thank you Ben.
I would lying if I said I knew everybody on this album but I gotta say everybody killed so far this is a great album thanks Mack you did yo thang on this one homie!!!!
I fuck with this so heavily
If you have never been at rock bottom you never really will appreciate the magnitude of his word . Well done Sir .

"If you don't love life the check won't correct yours"
Damn.

Thank you macklemore for writing this song it helped me over come hard times
This is the first song I put on my playlist and I love this song. This is the reason I’m still alive Thank you Ben❤️
Lyrics:
Fill my lungs up, pour my heart out, peel my bones away
Grab my window, shed my shadows, excavate my pain
If I could read the world my notebook and these thoughts in it
Would they judge me or love me for what I've written?
Tryna get closer to spirt that enters the body
It's the vessel like I'm not in it
In fifty-something years, I won't be here
There'll be a kid with some headphones covering his ears
Walking 'round a hallway, dreaming of ideas

What you looking for? What you headed towards?
What's your name worth when they mention yours?
When you leave here, are you stepping forward?
Can you remember your intention when they question yours?
They're gonna question yours, they're gonna question yours
I've been at rock bottom and I'm headed North
If you don't love yourself, what's the respect for?
If you don't love life, the check won't correct yours
Excavate
Fill my lungs up, pour my heart out, peel my bones away
Grab my window, shed my shadow, excavate my pain
And I found peace, and I found peace
And I found peace

My greatest achievement isn't the dollars
My greatest achievement isn't the followers
My greatest achievement isn't the accolades
My greatest achievement is my daughter
Waking up in the morning, being a father
Watching the light kiss her eyelids
Hearing her sing along to Chance
And being like, yeah, that's my kid
The light started to glow
And the saxophone up on Coltrane train started to blow
Tender laying in the snow, turn on my headphones
Couple miles to go before I run out of road
Excavate
Fill my lungs up, pour my heart out, peel my bones away
Grab my window, shed my shadow, excavate my pain
And I found peace, and I found peace
And I found peace, and I found peace
(And I found peace)
Hold me up into the light and study every part of me
I'm an open book, no, I don't mind, but sometimes I'm hard to read
Just flesh and bone, I'm headed home
But this life is so hard to leave

But this life is so hard to leave
But who am I when they cut the lights and nobody's watching me?
Gemini
ai por favor
que me ha enamorado esta canción
Me ha encantado todo su nuevo album "Gemini"
Muy grande MACKLEMORE
This song is so beautiful, I'm crying🖤🖤
This is my favorite song of the whole album and Glorious. This speaks to me on so many levels
This one's my favorite. I send as much positivity your way Mr Macklemore.
I absolutely love this song by far the best on the album.You know a song is good when it brings you to tears and it is the one song that will calm you down when you need it.Thank you so much Ben I look up to you as the most amazing person/singer/rapper in the world! You right the most amazing heartfelt songs. Absolutely amazing❤️❤️
This song, it's an inspiration to fathers every where. The dads that try to be the best for their kids. I love love love this so much!
God bless you Ben. You are the most honest down to earth music star there is these days. Your strength to sing the hardest parts of your life and yet keep it positive is almost super human in a day when artists aren't considered mainstream if they don't act hard and pose as something they are not. Seriously man, in reference to your lyrics in "Glorious", you will never die that second time because you have made such an incredible impact on so many lives in such a positive way your name will never stop being mentioned!
Excavate, Ain't Gonna Die Tonight, Glorious and Good Old Days are the best of the best
When I was in the hospital it helped me through my cancer treatments
Glimpses of the heist are in this song...I want more of this Macklemore.
Been working my way through all the songs on this album, and then found this song, and am absolutely blown away. I'm in love. Just listening to it on loop. I feel like there is not a word for what this song makes me feel, but I love it. It's a place between nostalgia, sadness, melancholy, meaning, and joy.
But who am I when they cut the lights and no buddy's watching me. So true!
Your song... That just amazing!!!
This comment is the only thing you’ll ever know about me. This comment is the first and last time we’ll ever cross paths in life, you probably won’t see me in other comment sections or anywhere else in general. So, I would just like to say good luck and have fun, the world’s the limit and no one can stop you from doing what you love. No matter what you do in life, the worst case is you try your best, you be yourself, and you do what you can do with compassion, honesty, effort, and understanding. And it goes worst case and then you move on, like everything else.
only macklmore can make me cry and be happy to do it. love your work bro please dont ever stop
One of the Best songs on the album
YOU GUYS SOUND LIKE ANGELS THAT FELL FROM HEAVEN!!😍😍🖤🖤
Thank you Macklemore... You have help me get through my dark days when am down!!!
