This song has kept me sane the last couple months. It feels like joy, we no longer have that in the real world.

[@TheEXCALIBUR17]

love the Windser vocals

[@stevedavenport1202]

Totally amazing singer

[@rebekahlindsay3795]

Yep!!!

[@VideoTronism]

Addictive song. It grows on you quick.

[@두번은없다]

Best song of 2022!!!

[@B00BM3IST3R]

The audio production of this video is clean and sounds GREAT with good headphones, so bravo to audio production. It's sad to see people criticizing the performers in a video clip. If you don't like the way it looks, complain to the video editor. If you don't like the way it sounds, complain to the audio mixer. It sounds very close to the original video. If you can play THAT and not be tapping your foot by the end, then you must be super sad. Always makes ME wanna dance! 🕺💃

[@GameRetro]

This man is pure joy energy! Love it!

[@Goonie02]

Great hook!!! Macky mac king of the hooks!!!!

[@alanrex88]

Loving this song 💚

[@FeebleMind-cv3ob]

Omg it has helped me from getting my heart broken thus far. So ill have this ish on repeat till dude moves back up north. Lol

[@mustafaaziz5448]

best song ever 🥳🥳🥳🥳

[@michaelmeyer5908]

One of a best song

[@ludovicrobin2798]

This live is great !

[@carlosb6338]

This is addictive 🎧❣

[@falkym]

stop whining about it not being 'live'. Mack is using playback in a prechorus, Windser for whole song (but you can hear him live too), but that's completely normal. It's like a blend between recording and live performance

[@briangilman1937]

Crazy if you change the date to "you haven't been to therapy since 96" This would be my daughter's mom and my song

[@rotweiiler]

Really like this

[@LAVISHING]

Great job guys! I’ll see you both 7/18-19/23 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin

[@briangilman1937]

Good song for in the car and beat on the steering wheel

[@ayhankasm1813]

Is it live , dude is very good

[@alteralex]

What’s wrong with people? Did no one notice that Mack confuses the words in the beginning of second verse (but sing it clearly) ? In the pre chorus parts he uses playback(behind his original voice), but it’s absolutely normal practice in the live performances

[@jape2320]

Hahaha! Who cares ! My kids love the song! Thanks Macklemore!

[@kmm2442]

I think they fo it because if one of those people or instruments were out - the whole performance would be off and not work. Certainly wouldn't feel like that. So it's time. More time, can figure out each but accurately. It's that as well as faking. Why beyonce does it.

[@briangilman1937]

That is so good

[@tonyPerera-cx8fx]

Think Windser could have carried the whole song.

[@amirkassam4800]

❤️‍🔥

[@fmcdomer]

Hey ladies

[@deborahsmith3185]

🎧👌

[@Spoons4Hands]

is he back?

[@kneetotheface]

nah he lip syncing on a live show....sorta lame

[@MuhammadNafay]

What are these troll comments lol

[@mannyme2986]

Live as dodo!!!

[@RaoulDuke32]

Macklemore? The hell happened… where’s Ryan?

[@briangilman1937]

ManI....Outkast....?

[@emoses]

I cant hear the acoustic guitars

[@addoblaknovski3709]

"Live"

[@sasanunbunyawanich3898]

Is he hanging a monk image on his neck?

[@tomanetopotomane1953]

I want to do the same job as the guy behind

[@aidankeeley1011]

Miming? "Live" on KEXP? Hard dislike.

[@kneetotheface]

damn...i wasnt sure until he started movin his head around and the volume didnt change...then when the dude singin chorus sounded EXACTLY on point....disappointingggg

[@urka7061]

@YAMBAG84 LMAO did you actually said he has no substance and no hip hop in him. You clearly didn't listen to his discography...

[@jackheris687]

Yeah, it sounds exactly like the music video. But still a good song.

[@skoorbryan]

Not sure you can call this "live".

[@briangilman1937]

Pay the membership ! If you can't then don't complain

Pay for the subscription and stop bitchen

[@imnotshur3]

?!?

[@henrikschorlingovergardjad6376]

Playback

[@fumes1541]

I always scan these vids in the A.M. As an old dude, sometimes I'm impressed with new artists...sometimes I don't get it. THAT SAID...I know Macklemore is NOT new...but I've worked hard to avoid listening to him...THIS LIP SYNC IS EMBARRASSING. @KEXP SHOULD BE ASHAMED FOR ALLOWING IT! One more like this and I'm unsubbing. I know I'm only one guy...but I'm sure a few others feel this way.

[@RaoulDuke32]

Macklemore won a grammy over Kendrick

[@presidentsquidward3970]

threatening to unsubscribe over one artist? I know Macklemore is garbage but come on... radio isn't going to always just have all artists you like

[@fumes1541]

@@presidentsquidward3970 the point is allowing LIP SYNCING when the whole reason I subbed was that this channel was different. Raw and live...

[@presidentsquidward3970]

@@fumes1541 And everyone else is raw and live I'm 100% sure. Not surprised a Seattle based station would have Macklemore if he's famous from there and irrelevant in pop. He probably is lip syncing but I wouldn't knock down a whole station's credbility just for one shit artist lol

[@weRgip1]

Bro u dished out a baller of a song..but stop the lip sync man..

[@Vcraigv318]

Great song, but piss poor lip syncing

[@Addie2103]

This is not helping me take a dump in the am. The orchestra section looks like they were shaking their heads while this was playing. Stick to golf Mack!

[@antiquityart]

Thought I should give Macklemore a chance and listen. Instant regret. Also...is that lip sync? I'm not subscribing to kexp for that kind of stuff.

[@davidsmith6669]

On the one hand it’s great that he wants to write positive music but this is just unbelievably corny and fake fake fake.

[@sholland42]

This is terrible, come on, we expect real music.

[@CalvinOnTheCoast]

Windser not even singing, so disappointing, Mack did a good job though

[@nejc]

Macklemore sucks, has always sucked and will forever suck. Probably the only band worse than Nickelback

[@LiveinReykjavik]

Haha, good one.

[@qozmiq]

This is so terrible. Lip syncing? Disgusting

[@saml5284]

Absolutely terrible, and the indignity to lip sync on this platform. Just embarrassing.
