I sort of accepted that when I came out that I was going to be fearless and that I was going to do whatever I needed to do as an artist. Were you wary at first about agreeing to sing on such a political song that deals with LGBTQ rights? I went in and sang it for them, and they cried. They ran out of options, so she played them my YouTube video and they were like “alright, what do we have to lose?” I had about two hours with the track and wrote four different choruses. Hollis had been working with Ben and Ryan and helping them write on some stuff and knew they were stuck on this song. In the Seattle scene, everyone just wants to see each other succeed. She’s the one who sings on “ White Walls.” She’s a good friend of mine and had been such a supporter of my work early on in the poetry community. How did they find you and how did you get into contact with them for this track? Yeah! We met the day we recorded the song. How far back do you, Macklemore, and Ryan Lewis go? Did you meet just for the song? It’s so much about the craft and about family. It would be different if it were surrounded by ego, but everyone is confident and cares so much about what they do.

Now, she and the boys are in New York City, and when she’s not uptown with them, she’ll be making an appearance downtown, stepping out on her own with messages worth listening to. Last month, we spoke with Lambert about “Same Love” and her solo art just before she kicked off the tour with Macklemore. Mary Lambert– the singer-songwriter, spoken word artist, and heartwrenchingly silken vocals behind the song’s beautiful chorus–has been along for the ride with her fellow Seattle artists and has even joined them on their successful fall tour to sing along to the song that’s helped make her a rising artist outside of just her local scene. In honour of the Court’s decision, my song for Sunday is “Same Love” by Macklemore and Ryan Lews (featuring Mary Lambert).Ī world so hateful some would rather die than be who they areĪnd a certificate on paper isn’t gonna solve it allĪnd for those of you who need to know Cathy and I are first cousins which means it is illegal for us to marry in some places.Though Macklemore & Ryan Lewis’ “Same Love” technically dropped in 2012, the song really hit its stride this year when it became an anthem for LGBTQ rights as well as a hot topic. Jesus sided with the marginalised and outcast – which side of the debate do you think he would have been on? If you believe people were created in the image of God – then so were gays and lesbians. I love the adoption of the rainbow with it’s Biblical symbolism of a covenant between God and humanity. I’ve loved seeing the proliferation of rainbow imagery (and I’ve changed my background colour until Australia introduces marriage equality). I don’t want to deny other people the same opportunity we’ve had. Next year we will have been married 30 years and we’re still going strong. Despite some people (a minority) being shocked or even disgusted by our relationship our love has stood the test of time. In some countries (and some states of the USA) Cathy and I wouldn’t have been allowed to marry. It’s wonderful to hear that the USA Supreme Court has ruled in favour of gay marriage – hopefully Australia won’t be far behind.
