Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, un dúo que ha dejado una huella imborrable en la industria musical, está compuesto por el rapero Macklemore (cuyo nombre real es Ben Haggerty) y el productor Ryan Lewis. La historia de cómo se unieron es tan fascinante como su música.
Ben Haggerty nació el 19 de junio de 1983 en Seattle, Washington. Desde joven, mostró un profundo interés por la música y la cultura hip-hop. A la edad de seis años, comenzó a escribir letras, y a los 15, ya estaba involucrado en el rap. Haggerty adoptó el nombre artístico de "Macklemore" mientras estudiaba en la Garfield High School. Continuó su amor por la música en la Universidad Estatal de Evergreen, donde se enfocó en educación musical.
Ryan Lewis nació el 25 de marzo de 1988, también en el estado de Washington. Su inclinación por la música y la tecnología lo llevó a la producción musical desde joven. Lewis se graduó de la Roosevelt High School en Seattle y asistió a la Universidad de Washington, donde siguió perfeccionando sus habilidades como productor y DJ.
El destino los unió en 2006 cuando Ryan Lewis fue contratado para realizar fotografías promocionales para Macklemore. Sin embargo, no fue hasta 2008 cuando empezaron a trabajar juntos de lleno. La química entre ellos fue inmediata; compartían un entendimiento profundo sobre la música y una visión similar

Next year's gonna be better than this year

New Year's Eve comin' with a first kiss, yeah
Next year's gonna be better than this
Next year's my come up
I've been lackin' but I can feel that it's the one
All the last three-sixty-five weren't
Like I group texted the world, and dumped us
Bah, bah, bah, you better watch my bounce back
I'ma be the man in here
Glass to the sky, like we tryna grab the chandelier
I'd like to take this opportunity and toast to me
For bein' exactly who I'm supposed to be
'Cause life is gonna do what life does
I don't wanna look back and regret who I was
Let go of the expectations and then fire one
Forget the tally shit before all my time's up
And I, know I gotta roll with it
I'm well aware the universe doesn't owe me shit
I know that, all of this pain means the growth, I think
That next year's gonna be better than this
(Let's go)
I'm ceiling up to miss, yeah, I
Got a lot to live on time
Ain't foolin' that shit 'cause next year's gonna be better than, better than (Go)
Next year's gonna be better than this year (Woo)
Next year's gonna be better than this 'cause
New Year's Eve comin' with a first kiss, yeah
Next year's gonna be better than this
I'm sick of missin' out, sick of the fear and doubt
I'ma get spiritual soon, live in the here and now
Alone in my room, but you gon' hear me loud
And clear, let's start it at the top of the year
I want, one last cigarette, one last sip of it
One last secret, one last little bit
One last Uber, one last sedative
One last supper with the devil and his relatives
And I was gonna change my ways
I was just waitin' for that day to pull myself up out of that page
Run that route and make a play, so sick of sittin' on the bench
It's finally to get in shape and livin' like a scrimmage
Thinkin' that I'll get another day now, no
I ain't wait up for coach marchin' band
I'ma go and parade in my zone, goddamn
Man in the mirror finally got on, fuckin' next year
The time is now to press go and I'm gone
[Pre-Chorus: Windser & Macklemore]
I'm ceiling up to miss, yeah, I (Uh-huh)
Got a lot to live on time (Yes)
Ain't foolin' that shit 'cause next year's gonna be better than, better than (Go)
Next year's gonna be better than this year (Woo)
Next year's gonna be better than this 'cause
New Year's Eve comin' with a first kiss, yeah
Next year's gonna be better than this
Next year's gonna be better than this year (Woo)
Next year's gonna be better than this 'cause
New Year's Eve comin' with a first kiss, yeah
Next year's gonna be better than this
Let's go
