I come back to this video every few months because I remember how amazing it is, and I'm never disappointed. Thank you for making an amazing cover & video.
This version of the song made me cry. I identify as bisexual and well my mom is one of the people who just can't seem to accept it. She tells me how Im sinning by "My choice to act upon my desires". or that God didnt make me this way but free will did. She tells me how being gay is about the same as her "falling in love with a married man and having sex with him." I just can't seem to find the words to actually express these feelings by writing a song anymore but finally I've found inspiration, and hope by you guys. I remember when I first found you guys a while back and hear your song home and lullaby, you guys truly have the right idea here and thank you so much! You keep me going strong every day. Love - Lexi
Lexx Mariee don't worry You are beautiful and amazing just the way you are. Don't let no one or any thing change that. The bible say God loves everyone so don't let your mom bring you down. I support you and I always will. ❤️💛💚💙💜🌈
The rage with which he sings this song is so accurate and righteous. I love this band, this song, this concept. Macklemore and the people that agree with this have it right.
You know I Have to listen to this every once in a while to relize that no matter what I am loved by my husband no matter what I hear on the radio I loved my dad but I came out to him and he didn't want to believe it but you know I was a youth administrator for my church and my church welcomed me and my ex but I love my husband now and willnot be shaken from it
This is what love sounds like. This is what acceptance sounds like. And this needs to be shouted from every rooftop, till people realize that hate has no place in today's society.
I would like to say that the second verse is the most real and big truth that so many people ignore because that would mean they would have to change themselves and admit they are wrong...
"I guess here's how I see it, you got a heart beat like mine, probably get that same feeling when your fingers intertwine" I love that part, it's so amazing. It fits together so well.
I love that they are Christian, and go by the bible, and believe in God and everything, and still don't judge people for being who they are. I've met them twice and they are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet. They're such a beautiful band, and I might not have the same religious beliefs as them, but gosh, they're great.
"Same Love" always used to make me cry, but over time I developed enough of a resistance that it only made my eyes misty. Then I watch this BEAUTIFUL cover with your marvelously written verses, and I'm crying anew once more. I don't care. I love it. Thank you.
I just found this and I love this so much oh my god. With tears in my eyes, thank you so much. Your alternate versus hit just as deep as the original did back when this song came out.
You dont get to choose your sexuality everybody deserves to be loved and to be loved this song makes me want to cry. I think I am falling in love with Macklemore.
Macklemore truly created a beautiful song, I still find it hard to believe that there are people out there think some people don't deserve the same basic human rights such as love just because they love the same sex.
Wow... first song that I've heard from Paradise Fears. His own lyrics are AMAZING I think he clearly explained more what Macklemore and Ryan Lewis meant. Great work!!! Keep it up! :D
You guys are beautiful. No matter what greater or lesser things you achieve in your futures, and even if you forget about this past, I won't forget. Hell, you even inspire me to be more expressive and play more music and sing. Stay awesome.
do you wanna tell her that this beautiful limitless thing we call love has rules, and a proper way to do it? and because there love is less cause an old book dont exclude it? BEST LINE EVER!!!!
I LOVED the original, but i love this version too! The original lyrics in the second verse are amazing, and yes they had it right in the third verse...Thank you Macklemore!
Why are people allowing others to shoot people but we can't love who we want to love. I'm gay and I'm I love with this girl. I don't care what the world thinks. I'm happy. Don't mind me. I'm just caring for gods kids.
I think that I'm one of few boys to see this, but some of my friends (who are girls) showed this to me, it's a very touching, and beautiful underlying message,and its a beautiful song in itself, great job Macklemore, GSA for the win!
I just wanna say real quick...that I fully support LGBT and same sex marriage. I'm Bi and I don't care what anyone says about it. I have a best friend who's gay,and me and all my friends love her to death,and she treats us with the same sweetness,and friendship/family love. this song makes me think of her,and makes me happy.
In the bible it all says... DON'T JUDGE PEOPLE BY THEIR SINS. I love this cover.. Especially the second verse. Thumbs up! "We decide what's right by what's right, not written."
Why fight out you opinions on people who like the same sex on the internet, or even in person for that matter? It is what it is, and you can't change how things are. Making people feel bad about who they are, no matter who they love is wrong. Forget about religion and politics. Think about yourself. If you were in this position, wouldn't you want freedom to marry the love of your life? Also think about this: Women didn't even really get rights until the early 1900's, I believe. How is this any different? People fight so hard about this because they're scared of change. They're thinking "if people who like the same sex get more rights, they're going to turn all of us that way." All they want is a life for themselves with their love and have a family. No one is forcing 'gayness' upon you.
This is nothing but pure braveness.Kudos to you for standing up for LGBTQ people. A proof that u dont need to be gay to support gay rights. You're what the world need.People like you.Thanks too Sam.
I remember one of my friends asked me is if I was Bisexual,I said "yes "she replied "Eww like would date a girls and boys eww nasty. man don't touch me fam" She laughed at me I askes her"Why did you ask"She replied because of rumors" I found out it was one of my so called friends spreading them "But how can you like girls and boys?" She was laughing about it and I was laughing to, but inside I was so hurt I wanted to cry, I don't understand what is so wrong with liking the opposite gender? Why is it bad? What if we didn't have a gender and just lived as humans, no label to tell us who we are. Wouldn't that be nice.
THANK YOU for this cover, i love the Macklemore & Lewis original, but your version is beautiful you seriously brought tears to my eyes throughout, the lyrics you added are so deep and heart warming.
I am not either but I support gay marriage. And I am Christian. People forget we were told to love. The only reason why I said this is because the comment above mentioned he was atheist as if it even mattered if you have a religion or not and support gay marriage. These are my only words on this. But I hope you can find someone to love :)
I'm not homosexual, but I do bad things, I have done drugs , and bunch of stuff that is considered a sin. My sin is no worse, nor better than being homosexual. Lets look at 1 Corinthians 6:9-11. 9Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men 10nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 11And that is what some of you were. Last time I checked, homosexuality is in the same line as being a thief, being a drunk, or a slanderer. And yes I am a Christian. I go to church every week. I'm no better than homosexuals. I don't judge them.
Alli Phillips Why should someone keep their lack of faith to themselves? I've heard many believers not keep their belief to themselves. As far as respect for another's belief or non belief goes. I've heard from many Christians that have been very disrespectful when telling others that they would go to hell for not believing like them.
Melissa Jones Hi. I know your comment was posted 7 months ago, but I had to reply to it. (1) The "straights" and "gays" terminology is less than 100 years old. Before then, society didn't bottleneck people into a "sexual orientation," and to date, science has not proven that it is genetic, because it is not. (2) To paraphrase means to reword something to achieve greater clarity. What did you think it meant? (3) If you think that murder and homosexuality are equal, why don't you march for the right to murder?
You know, religion isn't everything, it doesn't have to be shoved down our throats, you don't have a right to tell us how to live our lives, you can't make someone magically change their sexuality with "holy" water, stop sticking to the past on a book written thousands of years ago, we all have a right to be ourselves, and you don't have the right to try and shove something I don't believe in into my head. Get on with your life, stop hating people for being themselves, stop being judgemental, we all are the same! Human beings! We have flaws! So what!
The whole pretense of this song is assuming that all 'Christians' or "Right winged Conservatives" have the same views and reactions when it comes to homosexuality. That's not the case and I'm getting tired of being misrepresented. I agree that there are many people who claim those affiliations that hate and bully and whatever else, and that is completely wrong. Homosexuality is wrong according to the Bible (which you don't have to agree with, and that's fine) and I believe the Bible, but that absolutely doesn't mean we hate them/you. I'm not going to condone that lifestyle, but I'm not going to hate them for being that way. Being gay is no more or less a sin than lying or stealing or anything that I've ever done. But just because we're called to love doesn't mean we should shut up...it just means love everyone and show them that real Christians don't hate. We're just honest and representing what the Creator of the Universe says, but we need to be honest in a loving way so that no songs like this have to be written. Cheers ya'll.
I have to agree with you big time. Not all of us Christians hate gay people. Some of these people needs to stop assuming that we hate gay people when they don't even know who we are. I don't have one bit problem with gay people.
"Wow...that was...freakin' incredible." The first words out of my mouth after hearing this. You guys are amazing. I could cry from the happiness and joy your music gives me. Please never stop the love, unions, and bonds that you create in your bonds with your fans. We love you.
your second verse gave me chills. incredible.
It was amazing simply AMAZING
Made me cry. Really!
"We decide what's right by what's right, not what's written" More true words could not have been spoken! Really good lyrics.
I come back to this video every few months because I remember how amazing it is, and I'm never disappointed. Thank you for making an amazing cover & video.
"Thank you Macklemore."
Yes
I wish that they still had a five star button
Beautiful. . .SO great. This is what Paradise Fears such a great band. Not a lot of people would do this.
This version of the song made me cry. I identify as bisexual and well my mom is one of the people who just can't seem to accept it. She tells me how Im sinning by "My choice to act upon my desires". or that God didnt make me this way but free will did. She tells me how being gay is about the same as her "falling in love with a married man and having sex with him."

I'm surprised no one's commented this yet:
Your mom is horrible.
And you seem pretty damn cool.
Lexx Mariee don't worry You are beautiful and amazing just the way you are. Don't let no one or any thing change that. The bible say God loves everyone so don't let your mom bring you down. I support you and I always will. ❤️💛💚💙💜🌈
Omg the part where he said ''Thank you Macklemore'' THIS IS BEAUTIFUL! I love it!
Why do I start crying when the second verse came around :)
Because you have a heart and you like it?
Because if the second verse doesn't make you stop, think, and appreciate life, you're a heartless excuse of a human being.
LOVED the new verse you wrote. Simply beautiful guys :) Well done!
Paradise fears needs to play on the radio. I have yet to hear them and that's a shame.
The rage with which he sings this song is so accurate and righteous. I love this band, this song, this concept. Macklemore and the people that agree with this have it right.
You know I Have to listen to this every once in a while to relize that no matter what I am loved by my husband no matter what I hear on the radio I loved my dad but I came out to him and he didn't want to believe it but you know I was a youth administrator for my church and my church welcomed me and my ex but I love my husband now and willnot be shaken from it
you are officially my hero
This is what love sounds like. This is what acceptance sounds like. And this needs to be shouted from every rooftop, till people realize that hate has no place in today's society.
passion + effort + patience = success
How does this not have more likes? It's Amazing!!
Still an amazing cover bro, I'm not homosexual but you and mackelmore gave gay-people a voice. Thanks for the cover man!
Most amazing cover ever. The lyrics you added made it so much better.
I would like to say that the second verse is the most real and big truth that so many people ignore because that would mean they would have to change themselves and admit they are wrong...
I wish all the people in my little small town would hear the version of this song! It really hit home with me. Thank you. It means a lot.
Never fails for me to cry during this song.
Well done,you're right YOUR TELLING ME THIS THING WE CALL LOVE HAS RULES? So right I love this
I am actually just in love with this cover
"I guess here's how I see it, you got a heart beat like mine, probably get that same feeling when your fingers intertwine" I love that part, it's so amazing. It fits together so well.
This is beautiful. Your added lyrics are so genuine and valuable. Thank you SO MUCH for sharing this. Love to you♡
"You got a heartbeat like mine? Probably get that same feeling when your fingers intertwine."
Best lyric. Like oh my god, best lyric.
This was absolutely amazing, I know I am just one small little person behind a screen but I am going to like, favorite, watch later and subscribe.
I am so proud of all of you for covering this song. Your enunciation makes it easier for listeners to hear the words and these words need to be heard.
Macklemore needs to see this. Perfection
I love that they are Christian, and go by the bible, and believe in God and everything, and still don't judge people for being who they are. I've met them twice and they are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet. They're such a beautiful band, and I might not have the same religious beliefs as them, but gosh, they're great.
this guy changed a few verses to show his beliefs for same-sex marriage and i agree with all he said
"Same Love" always used to make me cry, but over time I developed enough of a resistance that it only made my eyes misty. Then I watch this BEAUTIFUL cover with your marvelously written verses, and I'm crying anew once more. I don't care. I love it.
Thank you.
I just found this and I love this so much oh my god. With tears in my eyes, thank you so much. Your alternate versus hit just as deep as the original did back when this song came out.
You dont get to choose your sexuality everybody deserves to be loved and to be loved this song makes me want to cry. I think I am falling in love with Macklemore.
God loves everyone may they be gay, straight, bisexual or even a turtle.
I'm a turtle...
lol❤
+Unicornian Παιδιών really, im a turtle too
turtles
+Sans dude that's the most beautiful comment I've ever read
Macklemore truly created a beautiful song, I still find it hard to believe that there are people out there think some people don't deserve the same basic human rights such as love just because they love the same sex.
I come back sometimes just to listen to this awesome cover
I've been coming back to this video for the past 4 years almost and it continues to cause me to tear up. Nice job!
MACKLEMORE! This was great!
Yes I know I love the song.
"There love is less love just because an old book don't approve it" love that line, great verse great cover
This was so touching and heart felt
I adore Macklemores version of this song I do, but the new verse you added and the change in tone for this song just completes it. Truly gorgeous.
This song gives me hope :) Love it
That was beautiful so well done i think i love this more than the original.. Wow
Dayuuuuuum, those improvised lyrics were fireeee bro
Your own personal verse was pure gold. Got chills hearing it. Fantastic.
Who's that female? Her voice is amazing.
This song was already more than perfection. I personally like the main part that they changed more, but no matter what, this song is perfect.
R.I.P replay button
Right 😅😭🤣😂
I love that verse you wrote yourself 3 beautiful!
It's a nice coincidence that I found this today, the day gay marriage is finally legalized in the US. :)
Haha me too :DD this makes me sooo happy, I can't describe it ❤❤❤
Me too!
EQUAL MARRIAGE- Check Marijuana- No check. Let's legalize marijuana now!
Gosh, just wanna cry, you sing so well and what you wrote is so right... Man, this is beautiful !
That gave me goose bumps , I loved it :)
Mackelmore did a great thing with this song and who did this cover did an even better job with it. Thank you!
Wow... first song that I've heard from Paradise Fears.
His own lyrics are AMAZING
I think he clearly explained more what Macklemore and Ryan Lewis meant.
Great work!!! Keep it up! :D
The verse you wrote is perfect! And I've listened to this many times and I just now noticed you say thank you Macklemore and it just makes it better.
Thank you Macklemore!
I know I love the song so much.
Yes homophobic people need to hear this song.
You just broke my heart....I wish everyone felt this way. Thank you!
♡ Sam gives me butterflies ♡
Someone's in love lol.
I'm sitting here in my room with headphones in bawling like a little baby. This was beautiful.
"thank you, macklemore."
SUPERB cover. The added verse was awesome. Great job. Keep it up.
You totally look like Eric From NCIS LA
Lol
You guys are beautiful. No matter what greater or lesser things you achieve in your futures, and even if you forget about this past, I won't forget. Hell, you even inspire me to be more expressive and play more music and sing. Stay awesome.
This is beautiful.
do you wanna tell her that this beautiful limitless thing we call love has rules, and a proper way to do it? and because there love is less cause an old book dont exclude it? BEST LINE EVER!!!!
This > everything else
I LOVED the original, but i love this version too! The original lyrics in the second verse are amazing, and yes they had it right in the third verse...Thank you Macklemore!
Why are people allowing others to shoot people but we can't love who we want to love. I'm gay and I'm I love with this girl. I don't care what the world thinks. I'm happy. Don't mind me. I'm just caring for gods kids.
Day in and day out we are surrounded by hate. This video shows that not all hate. The fact stands that some love us and love all without judgment.
beautiful!
I think that I'm one of few boys to see this, but some of my friends (who are girls) showed this to me, it's a very touching, and beautiful underlying message,and its a beautiful song in itself, great job Macklemore, GSA for the win!
J aaaiiiime !!!! ♡♡♡
My faith in humanity is restored because of this song
I just wanna say real quick...that I fully support LGBT and same sex marriage. I'm Bi and I don't care what anyone says about it. I have a best friend who's gay,and me and all my friends love her to death,and she treats us with the same sweetness,and friendship/family love.
this song makes me think of her,and makes me happy.
Besides the beautiful lyrics the song has and everything it implies, kudos to the singer and rapper, very good cover!
If what he said offended you, maybe you should re-think your world view.
In the bible it all says... DON'T JUDGE PEOPLE BY THEIR SINS. I love this cover.. Especially the second verse. Thumbs up! "We decide what's right by what's right, not written."
Why fight out you opinions on people who like the same sex on the internet, or even in person for that matter? It is what it is, and you can't change how things are.

No one is forcing 'gayness' upon you.
if there was a love button I would click it... I love this song and meaning.
Love is love :)
I usually just listen to this on my SPOTIFY...but this music video...BRINGING ON THE TEARS MAN!
same sex marriage legal in all 50 states 🌈❤️💛💚💙💜

look up Prince EA's video called I'm not black. it's amazing.

THANK YOU for this cover, i love the Macklemore & Lewis original, but your version is
beautiful you seriously brought tears to my eyes throughout, the lyrics you added are so deep and heart warming.
Who here is part of the LGBT community? I'm a lesbian
I am not either but I support gay marriage. And I am Christian. People forget we were told to love. The only reason why I said this is because the comment above mentioned he was atheist as if it even mattered if you have a religion or not and support gay marriage. These are my only words on this. But I hope you can find someone to love :)
Kaptain MilkyMilk oh ok my bad sorry :)
+BuzzingBeeBop Here I am to answer your questions 6 months late. xD I'm Bisexual.

omg... I left this song... after few hours i had to find again...great cover !
The whole pretense of this song is assuming that all 'Christians' or "Right winged Conservatives" have the same views and reactions when it comes to homosexuality. That's not the case and I'm getting tired of being misrepresented. I agree that there are many people who claim those affiliations that hate and bully and whatever else, and that is completely wrong.

I love how you changed the lyrics to apply this to your life. Stay Real.
I'm not a racist or an a**whole
Yea !!! Ugh no
Me neither and I support the LGBT+ community.
Interesting change of lyrics. :-) Beautiful.
is he actually gay?
No, him and his band just support equality.
did you listen to the lyrics?
Yeah, I know him personally. I know he's not gay. Even if he was, it wouldn't make a difference to me. Talent is talent.
corvus13 Incase you didn't know. It's a cover of a Macklemore song. They just added a few of their own versus.
Uh, yeah, I know that. Gee, thanks.
Thank you for making my day so much better i have tears from how beautiful this is
The message in this song is absolutely beautiful.
This is perfect. I haven't seen something perfect in a long, long time.
"Wow...that was...freakin' incredible."
The first words out of my mouth after hearing this. You guys are amazing. I could cry from the happiness and joy your music gives me. Please never stop the love, unions, and bonds that you create in your bonds with your fans. We love you.
You changing the lyrics was genius. This was so powerful. Great job.
