And last month Musgraves performed it on Global Citizen’s “One World: Together at Home” special, where she was accompanied by photos of rainbows drawn in cheerful sidewalk chalk and hung on homemade banners in windows around the globe - the latest application of a durable emblem seen broadly in fashion, memes and emoji. It soundtracks a Target commercial saluting the retail chain’s workers. Next week’s social media choice artist is Brandy Clark.Social media is filled with videos of folks covering the song (including celebrities such as Kate Hudson and Ben Platt).

Social Media Choice Organised by Astrid ( /astridhelenem84) Part of the inspiration for this one came from reading her horoscope one day, which said “ You don’t know it Leo, but there’s a rainbow hanging over your head”.Īnd of course, a rainbow is well known for being a symbol of the LGBT community which Kacey supports so strongly.‘ take off your coat and take a look around” she urges, “ everything is alright now”.

The metaphor used in the song for that situation is a storm, the addressee being so used to battling to keep their head above the “ rising waterline” they don’t realise that the storm is actually over and the “sky is finally open, the rain and wind’s stopped blown’ “ What Kacey can see, and always has done, is that there is a rainbow above them and if only they could realise that then they could move on to a better place….” tie up your boat. It is seemingly addressed to a specific person, though Kacey has said it is dedicated to “ anyone who has any kind of weight on their shoulders”. The arrangement is very simple both instrumentally and vocally compared to most here, with Kacey singing to a piano accompaniment ( mostly just chords in fact ) which highlights her pure and very sweet voice and the gorgeous lyrics. I know it’s common to listen to albums in shuffle mode but I think the track order is pretty important! It really wouldn’t have sat right on Kacey’s previous releases but this dreamy lullaby with its upbeat message is the perfect way to close “ Golden Hour”……. She actually showcased it on her last UK tour so it’s obviously one that’s close to her heart and it was her grandmother’s favourite too, performed at her funeral. ‘ The song I have chosen is the album’s final track, the beautiful ballad, “ Rainbow”, apparently written several years ago by Kacey, Shane McAnally, Natalie Hemby. In our review of ‘Golden Hour’, Lesley Hastings ( /lesleyhastings) wrote of ‘Rainbow’: As the chosen artist for the week, we asked people to shout their favourite song from Kacey and ‘Rainbow’ received much love!

This week’s social media choice selection is ‘Rainbow’ from Kacey Musgraves.
