When Tricia walked out of the bathroom, I knew. But in actuality, the hypothetical 'dad' version of me looked completely different than the man whose heart was beating out of his chest on the carpet, praying to a god or spirit I hadn’t talked to in months. I basically assumed that I'd have it all together. I held on to clear expectations of where I wanted be in my career, my age, my level of self-care, and my maturity. "I’ve always had some make-believe image in my head of who I would be as a father. Scared of the process of staring at myself through a page and seeing someone that I wasn’t proud of. as Tricia went to the bathroom to take the pregnancy test I’d just purchased from Walgreens. But I think back to that night: praying on the floor at 2 a.m. It would make for a far more polished and respectable story. "I wish that I could say that I was in a 'better place' when I found out the news. In addition to adorable footage of his daughter’s birth (which took place on May 29), the video for “Growing Up (Sloane’s Song)” was released with a beautiful letter regarding Macklemore’s expectations about fatherhood, what the song means, and why the duo chose to come back with this track:
Times are changing, I know, but who am I if I’m the person you become, if I’m still growing up?” “I’ll be patient, one more month,” Sheeran sings. As Macklemore encourages his daughter to do what she loves, make mistakes, and be honest, all while hoping he’ll be present despite his demanding schedule, Sheeran croons about how individual growth never stops. The song (which is his first release with Ryan Lewis first release since their 2012 debut album, The Heist) features vocals by Ed Sheeran. I’m still trying to figure out who I am, I don’t want to mess this up or do this wrong.”
GROWING UP MACKLEMORE ALBUM NAME HOW TO
“I want to raise you to be like her and watch you show the world how to do it on your own. “They say girls shouldn’t be tough and moms should raise their kids at home, but baby I know that isn’t true, ‘cause your momma's the toughest person I know,” he sings. (Haggerty's ease of assumption that he'll travel to do his vital work and his wife will stay home and child-rear is another topic still.But perhaps there’s a bit of irony in Macklemore’s words, considering how the touching tune is based on the fact that he, even as a new father, still has a whole lot to learn. Notably, it's the girl that is told Mack probably won't be home much, as he's got "a world to sing to / and you at the same time " whereas the boy gets no explanation of his dad's presence or absence. One gets told to read books, give back to the community, and grow up strong, and the other gets told to cheat in calculus, jay walk, go sledding, and step quietly when sneaking a girl home after prom. For example, it's hard to ignore the stark differences between Macklemore's message to his daughter as opposed to his son. Also like past Macklemore singles, though, its being simple and emotive will inevitably strike some as saccharine and occasionally tone-deaf. It's simple, direct, and emotive, a trifecta that made "Same Love" resonate so spectacularly. Lyrically, "Growing Up" is perhaps more revealing than it even set out to be.
