  10. “The song ‘Wings’ is about the pursuit of identity through means of consumerism. The attempt is to dissect our infatuation and attachment to logos, labels, brands, and the fleeting happiness that is intrinsically linked to the almighty power of purchase. The subject I use in the song is shoes, but its aim is to paint a broader picture of being a consumer and tracing the lineage back to my first memory of retail infused desire.” - Macklemore • Taken from : http://macklemore.com/post/43688861186/wings-the-nba-all-star-game-selling-out
