My favorite song for a long time to come
Otherside by Macklemore. Now making it big I've been listening to him since 2011. Yeah yeah I'm sooo cool because I listened to him first. But truthfully this is the song that stands out the most to me throughout his whole musical career. I've seen him live, and he's played this song, and by the end he was crying. Maybe the saddest thing I've seen coming from any rapper. The song is touching, and sends a serious message to a lot of drug users. Its unlike to hip-hop artists today that rap about the ho*s, money, and how good of a rapper they are. Macklemore raps about real problems in this song. A true artist accompanied by a great background/beat maker Ryan Lewis who highlight his voice and his lyrics so that every verse and every bar hits the audience. Other great songs by him that haven't been shown spotlight to include, The Town, Wings, and Victory Lap.

Alone
The very thought of being alone to me seems both good and bad. There are various ways one can view being alone, whether it be at home-alone, at complete silence, being outlandish, or without presence of other live creatures. I think they all relate with one another when the people you know are with and around you that determine true lonesomeness.
Most will agree that barring oneself from nature, from humanity, and society will make them truly alone. I picture it like I Am Legend, without the creatures that come out at night to eat your flesh. If that were to ever happen yes, then that would make that person truly alone. But a more realistic alone to me is being without love. A flaw to it could be that even if you say your family passed away that your never alone because they are always there watching you. But I think one who has nobody to love, no family, no friends, no companionship, is very alone. Then again that seems to be very hard to achieve as companionship seems natural to me, if you don't have friends you make some, if nobody wants to be your friend you get cats. Love for someone I think is what is really required to decide whether your alone or not.
