Macklemore x Ryan Lewis - Irish Celebration
Artist: Macklemore x Ryan Lewis
Producer: Ryan Lewis
Album: The VS. EP
Label: Unsigned
Once upon a time St. Patrick’s Day was a day for Irish folks to celebrate the patron saint of Ireland, but over the past few decades it has slowly but surely morphed into a day for frat boys to put on “F**k Me I’m Irish” t-shirts and drink until they puke green beer. Good times. Fortunately Macklemore is here to rightfully reclaim the day with his anthemic Irish Celebration, a cut that both lyrically and sonically pays tribute to the Emerald Isle. Production duties are handled by his frequent beat partner Ryan Lewis, who masterfully manages to approximate bagpipes without using actual bagpipes, creating a foot stomping beat that Macklemore expands into a eminently sing-along-able homage to his ancestor’s fierce pride: “I’m an Irishman, leathered weathered Irish skin, beard orange as the sunset and the flag.” You won’t find any more explicitly green-and-white anthems on Macklemore and Lewis’ The VS. EP, but you will find a host of other quality tracks. I highly recommend you check it out now. Party safely everyone.

I'm not Irish, but I like hearing people rep their culture/city/etc. with pride, and so I was definitely feeling Macklemore's lyrics on this one. Respect.

The production has a MGMT influenced sound to it. I can't get into this past that.
