The theme of this year's Grammy Awards (Sunday at 8 PM Eastern on CBS) is "Music Unleashes Us." To illustrate its theme, the campaign uses four short videos. In one, New Yorkers on a bus gaze silently out the windows, looking bored. When Macklemore and Ryan Lewis step on board and start rapping, their music transforms an ordinary, everyday bus trip into a wild ride!
I don't know how or why, but music unleashes me. How about you?
