10 yrs later and this performance is still dope. Dude definitely brings the vibe.

That first song... Same Love... I've heard it before but never really loved it or paid too much attention to it. Perhaps because of the unique format of this tiny desk concert, I gave it a genuine listen this time. It's a much more heartfelt and powerful song than I previously realized. It kinda reminded me of a sermon, but predicated on compassion and with universal applicability.

These songs still feel relevant and new to me, so it's weird to think that this was 2012. That first song _(Same Love)_ was a really bold thing to do at the time, as we were still 3 years (!) away from marriage equality. Obviously nobody can say how much influence any one event had on the eventual outcome, but stuff like that is how society moves forward - you and defend the things that need defending and don't back down. Good for Macklemore, Ryan Lewis, and everyone involved in the song.

The "Same Love" performance is brilliant. I mean, "Thrift Shop" is a banger and all, but the first performance is incredible.
