Mac DeMarco Charlie Rose Interview 2017 

"I'm not a singer. And I'm not really a songwriter either" * slow fade of *Mac Demarco, Singer/Songwriter* *

Demarco honors his audience man, he's a swell guy, God bless him

He's such a down to earth humble man, god bless this guy.

I don't get why guys like Charlie Rose, Larry King, etc seem to ask questions, then barely listen to the answer and cut them off to start asking an unrelated question. It's weird

Mac Demarco is a really different musician. He is not the type of musician who is obsessed with $$$. I say that because I live in a city in Northeast Brazil where not many know musicians come to have shows at... Well, they do come, but only in their old age where theyre not that famous anymore.. Well, Mac Demarco came and had a show here in Olinda, Pe. Brazil, Mac came right in his peak of fame. & that is a pretty dang cool thing for a musician to do.

He can write brilliant melodies which is the foundation of great music, very gifted.

love him with my whole heart. such a down to earth guy with a pure soul.

Moonlight in the River is a beautiful song.

“Moonlight in the River” is that sad? me holding back tears: A little bit

Mac always bringing a smile to our faces. God bless

He restores my faith in music

The guy DOES NOT KNOW

I would have never guessed this guy wasn't british. He sounds like hes got an accent in his songs

Not surprised that Jonathan Richman was a major influence on Mac. Very similar mannerisms.

this is a hilarious combination of people to be having a conversation

was a good interview until they started going through the akbum, then it became awkwardly funny as the guy clearly hadnt listened to it haha

Macs speech and mannerisms definitely changed after Charlie asked him about my old man. He also seemed more uncomfortable as discussion went on before finally grabbing the glass to have some action to ground himself

Mac makes me feel so calm :)

Mac is such a class act

Mac has such a great attitude and personality, he's very humble and modest which I admire!

Mac looked like he dropped a glass of milk on his shoes before this interview

“ I don’t think I’m really much of a song writer” labels him songwriter at 0:37

Lol I don't think I've ever seen a less prepared interviewer nice one Charlie

Fascinating to see a guy that interviewed Sagan and Asimov back in the day have Mr. D on his show. Too cool‼️

Droopy old basset hound

I get a kick out of interviews with him where he's usually silly, but this is a great serious interview with him. He's a nut, but he's probably one of the more real artists out there.

The Cross Colors jacket is amazing.

i d o n t k n o w

God bless you Mac and take care sir

The interview was good but can the interviewer stop interrupting macs thought process damn.

does anyone know what brand the jacket he's wearing is? ive never seen it

LOVE MAC!

Found a bit awkward/frustrating that the interviewer clearly didnt know anything about mac or his music

This must have been before Charlie got me tooed.

Lmao the way he interrupts him and doesn’t follow up on his statements is so funny

ALOOOOOT OF KIDS ......and people you know people -Mac DeMarco

It's cos mac... youre loveable!

I love this interview

He Has Beautiful Eye's

He's definitely a very good songwriter and a decent singer too, being humble

i love this man

Good bless you maccleton

I LOVE YOU MAC

man was getting interrupted! He should have called him out for it :)

The polar opposite of narduwar

What a disrespectful interview by Charlie Rose. Maybe he was under time constraints and just couldn't put the time in to find some backstory about the guy or his music, but at least try to put some effort into learning by asking him meaningful questions. I haven't seen Charlie Rose in a while but I remember that's really what made him such a great interviewer back in the day. He wanted to learn about the person he was interviewing and their motives. This interview consisted of, "So I heard you're indie... What is that? Oh yeah, my notes say here that you did this song about your dad, right?... Oh and this song too. You got some daddy issues brah, lol"

Charlie says one word and people answer his question.

Mr. Ed

Mac the king of cool

Didn’t Mac have to move away from Far Rockaway because of the people that kept on showing up

He’s cool af 😎

8:40 :(

mac is great but the interview is awful, charlie rose clearly doesn't listen... come on macdemarco begins to talk about what is beautiful in the craft, the impredactibility of it.. and and get cut by stupid closed question all the way...terrible! such a waste! happily there is dozen of interview that are great , and every one i saw was better thant this..

Charlie rose is so old fashioned

You can't tell but he's not wearing pants under that desk

He gave me a churro once!!

this actually happened? t

Is this Reviewbrah’s cousin who dabbled in meth? He seems like a nice guy.

I feel so sorry for Mac. Charlie Rose is part of the MK Ultra media. He’s so Irrelevant on today’s music scene.

Wait he has a sister? i thought he only had a brother

2nd

Miss Charlie Rose even if he isn't politically correct any more. He was, whatever else, a great interviewer. And Mac DeMarco is a true genius.

Mac Demarco is a seriously talented guy. Like 'Mr Ed' he's a nice fella. Unlike 'Mr Ed' he writes stunning songs.

this guy is a bad person .. stealing hats from homeless people is not good

0:35 perfect how hes saying hes not much of a singer/songwriter more of a con artist and then "mac demarco singer/songwriter" pops up on screen

Lovely to see him with an interviewer who takes him seriously! This is sort of like those old 70s interviews with the likes of Lennon!

The way he answered the question about being a songwriter reminded me of old Dylan interviews

8:30 Christ... when it comes to blunt, this takes the cake.

probably the most uncomfortable i’ve ever seen mac in an interview

Mac's attitude to his music inspires my music so much, like to me its not his music that he makes that inspires me but the way he creates his music just in his bedroom with random instruments he's collected over the years, a few microphones and some analog recording equipment. he has this carefree attitude where he just has fun with it, he actually enjoys making the music and listening to it back makes him smile and edges him on to create more. Im a 2nd year sound engineering student in ireland and last year i was sitting in a industrial recording studio like classroom, working with equipment i vaguely understand, working on protools all day with all this over the head info trying to make sense in my mind thinking "i love music but do i love making music?". but now i just want to be a creator like mac, i spend my time just going into the booth and singing whatever i feel like, play what feels right with those vocals, make adjustments, add reverb, modulate, automate something crazy cuz why not, just having fun with it and getting my head out of the midi sampling and just throwing in the studio head first. this interview just stands out to me as a reflection of macs attitude, like the very formal interviewer was asking "why this old dog?" and mac basically saying " i dont know, its a metaphor for dad but at the same time i like literal old dogs" like obviously not word for word but thats what i basically picked up and im just sitting here just loving the fuck it why not attitude he has. I want to watch mac and how he spends his day more than i want to listen to his music no joke i just think he is such an interesting character and i take inspiration from him

Coolest guy in the music biz, that´s the answer to the "Prince" one lol. So laid back, and humble.

This was a pretty week interview. I know Charlie Rose is one of the greatest interviewers of all time, but he clearly didn't take the time to learn anything about Mac or listen to the album. I fell like this was a quick google search and that's it. I mean going down the list asking him what the songs are about. breezing past the important ones like they're nothing. I mean he treats Moonlight on the River like its any other song and flies right past all the emotional song points. He should've listened to or took the time to learn something about the album because he clearly didn't.

Bruh Charlie Manson wasn’t even listen to what mac was saying 😡😡🥵

Mr. Ed lol love Mac

Macbriare, I know you ain’t readin’ this but you’re the Tarantino of current music and you’re yet to make your own Pulp Fiction

hope mac's dad's ok, and he finds a better relationship with him, that's rough being exposed like that in an interview.

Mac is so smart.

Interrupts Mac far far too much

The real sheep in wolves cloth is charlie rose

EXPLAINING THE AROMA ONE FEELS DURING THEIR UPBRINGING, WHETHER GOOD OR BAD IS TOUGH TO EXPLAIN. SO MAC FINDING A WAY TO ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS IS COMENDABLE...…ITS ALMOST LIKE CHILL BRO HOPEFULLY U FEEL IT THRU MY MUSIC.

Every Charlie rose interview I have ever heard has been terrible. I watch this to try and learn something. If any one has ever seen a great interview by charlie send it my way. His interview with Lou read was terrible.

Mr. Frodo :))))

This interview reads like a therapy session, love it

glass half full kinda guy, they give him a glass half full

A serious side to Mac is a bit of a rare side to see but it's still very authentic

never compare yourself to mr. ed

AAHH DIS OL DO

*Y’know*

What a humble guy.

The papacita

god bless you my dear vice roy and jameson lover musical friend, even you dont know you always were there... you know when I most needed. Cheers!

If you know how he felt on the mid-final part of the video, you know... ):

Mac DeMarco, I love you. Hope I meet you someday

Well spoken considering he likes to swear a lot.

It’s so cool to hear what the songs are about... i can’t wait to listen to the album over again now.

Wtf haha

I like Mac

Prince=king

Love Mac and his music... Hope he comes to know Jesus someday.

It’s like listening to someone explain their life to Grandpa.
