Macklemore stopped by The Ellen DeGeneres Show [1] on Friday to perform his powerful and emotional new song, "Wednesday Morning." During the simple set, which featured a large screen that flashed political imagery in the background, the rapper sang about the current unrest in the country following the presidential election [2]. While all of the lyrics are powerful, certain lines really strike a nerve: "Imagine tryna keep your head / While your daughter sleeps in bed / And when she wakes up, will the world be the same? / Will my girl be afraid in the home of the brave? Humanity is a privilege, we can't give in / When they build walls, we'll build bridges / This is resistance, we're resilient / When they spread hate, we shine brilliant." Since Ellen also encouraged the country to come together [3] after the election, Macklemore's message is further proof that the host's daily reminder to "be kind to one another" has never been more important.
