Overview

"Glorious" is a song by American rapper Macklemore, featuring American singer Skylar Grey. The song was written by the artists alongside Tyler Andrews and producers Joshua "Budo" Karp and Tyler Dopps. It was released to digital retailers on June 15, 2017, as the lead single from Macklemore's second solo studio album, Gemini (2017). The song was used in a 20-second trailer for the eleventh series of Doctor Who and the trailer for Crazy Rich Asians. Background On June 13, 2017, Macklemore teased the single release on social media. He posted a photo of his daughter, Sloane, standing in front of a car, in which the song's title, release date and time were written. He later posted a video that reveals the song's artwork featured artist. Upon release, Macklemore published a social media post, explaining the reason behind a musical break that he and Ryan Lewis are taking as they work on their own music."So here it is. The first song from my new album is 'Glorious'. It features the incredibly talented Skylar Grey and was produced by Budo with additional production from Tyler Dopps. It felt like the right record to come back with, embarking on this new chapter of life." Composition and critical reception Edwin Ortiz of Complex magazine wrote that the song "provides an uplifting, anthemic vibe that Macklemore uses to put into focus his own legacy and what it means to truly make a mark". Jon Blistein of Rolling Stone magazine wrote: "'Glorious' has rapid percussion and an energizing piano loop. Macklemore unravels a torrent of lyrics that complement Grey's gospel-tinged hook." They regarded the song as "an ode to fresh starts and embracing life". Live performances On June 28, 2017, Macklemore made his television debut of the song with Skylar Grey on the American late-night talk show The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Grey handled the piano, with a backing band consisting six background vocalists, a guitarist and percussionist and a three-piece horn section. Arielle Tschinkel of Idolator regarded the performance as "uplifting" and "spirited."

Notable quotes

“True glory strikes root, and even extends itself; all false pretensions fall as do flowers, nor can anything feigned be lasting.”
— Cicero, as quoted in Great Catches; or, Grand Matches (1861), by Eleanor Frances Blakiston, p. 82.
“Glory is largely a theatrical concept. There is no striving for glory without a vivid awareness of an audience—the knowledge that our might deeds will come to the ears of our contemporaries or "of those that are to be." We are ready to sacrifice our true, transitory self for the imaginary eternal self we are building up, by our heroic deeds, in the opinion and imagination of others.”
— Eric Hoffer, The True Believer (1951) Ch.13 Factors Promoting Self-sacrifice, §45
“Less glory is more liberty. When the drum is silent, reason sometimes speaks.”
— Albert Pike, in Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry (1871), Ch. I : Apprentice, The Twelve-Inch Rule and Common Gavel, p. 1.
“The paths of glory lead but to the grave.”
— Thomas Gray, Elegy in a Country Churchyard, Stanza 9.
“Magnum iter adscendo; sed dat mihi gloria vires.”
— I am climbing a difficult road; but the glory gives me strength.
“Great is the glory, for the strife is hard!”
— William Wordsworth, To B. R. Haydon, line 14.
