The most beautiful art comes from the most genuine pain and suffering. Eminem’s “Beautiful” is one such example where the rapper describes feeling lost, depressed, and alone. Instead of falling in those thoughts, he projects them onto the world, taking them in the rawest, most honest, and most accurate way possible.
Eminem wanders through abandoned factories and vacant stadiums in Detroit in this song video, revealing sites that were once vibrant but are now run-down. These images fit the words that describe feeling insufficient and struggling to return when all appears dark. The message, nevertheless, is unmistakable: you are still “beautiful” just as you are, even when life is complicated.
