It's Maclemore! i hadn't seen the video, but the song's been getting quite a bit of airtime.

I'd never heard of him before, but I really like him. And it's rare that song lyrics make me run off & find the original, but I'm so glad I did. Esp as the video nearly made me cry.

Yup; it's a powerful song, and a video that really works.

Most of his stuff is more like this:

That sort of makes it better? I mean, he feels strongly enough to do something different, rather than be some guy with a single agenda.

Yup; good point!

And so much love for the Malala icon. She is such a remarkable kid!

Yup; good point!

And Malala is wonderful. Can't believe how mature and brave she is.

Oh yeah. I love Macklemore anyway - and there's a version of the song with just the female vocals, which I adore.

Oooh yes, stumbled across it when looking for the original. I just had to share the video...

This is a gorgeous song - so happy it has been on the radio so often!

It just made me happy! :)
