For a whole host of reasons we can’t help but look back fondly on our pasts; it’s the nature of nostalgia. On “Good Old Days,” Macklemore and Kesha come together and capture that feel-good fondness flawlessly.
A simple piano lead sets the tone before the “Praying” soloist drops a delicate chorus-sneak on this third preview of the rapper’s upcoming album Gemini. Then as the tempo begins to swell, Macklemore takes lead with verses remembering his humble beginnings and the feelings of attachment that accompany them. From there the two appreciate their melancholic view of days gone by but offer the optimistic admonition that in the future these current times will also be looked back upon as the ‘good old days.’
A collaboration stacked in sincerity and assurance; stream below. And be sure to grab your own copy then pre-order Gemini before its September 22 release.
