![]() It began to strike a chord within me and I finally began to realize why. The past couple weeks this artist has been Macklemore and so I have heard “Neon Cathedral” quite a few times. When I either discover, or rediscover a song, album, or artist I enjoy, I have it on constant repeat. The song is about Macklemore’s previous dependency on alcohol. He admits to this in an interview about the song. The entire mood of the song is like that of a mournful, southern hymn. “Neon Cathedral,” as some of Macklemore’s other songs, references christian principles and ideologies. ![]() My family is the weekly attendees and volunteers for everything at my congregation (usually more like we are “volun-told” to do things, but that’s what happens when people know they can always count on you). I have attended church for my whole life. This crown of thorns is perched atop my spine I could have spent considerable time talking about other’s including: “Make the Money,” “Ten Thousand Hours,” “Wing$,” and “Jimmy Iovine.” I might get around to describing what I particularly like about these too, but for now I am going to focus on his song, “ Neon Cathedral.” Last semester I dedicated a rhetorical analysis paper to his song, “ Same Love,” a song advocating for the legal rights of homosexuals and the social support of same-sex relationships. Macklemore, Seattle’s Ben Haggerty, could have been the entire focus of this semester’s passion posts.
