i remember i fell asleep on facetime with her, and I woke up to her with this song playing in the background and her surrounded in this red glowing light. she was so beautiful.
Most people prefer to listen to the ending without the noises but I like to listen to them because of what mac was trying to symbolize with them, the noises are there because he wants everyone to know that even when shit gets crazy all around you gotta stay on beat
Actually, the sound at the end of the song is the representation of losing someone you still love, and the resentment of them leaving you turns your love into hate, demonstrated through the calm sounds turning to scary ambient noises, that demonstrates frustration in something or someone you used to love.
This song is just so beautiful. I love the ending and how all of these sounds come crashing down on you, it really adds to the meaning of the song and all of the emotions that flood your head. New favorite mac song
To me this song captures what it feels like to go mad after being so alone for so long. Everyone here is speaking about someone they love when I haven’t ever been able to relate
There’s one for you out there man, I’m in the same boat but I try not to worry, when the time is right it will happen you’ll find her. I used to be really melancholy about my “luck” with girls but I find peace in it now
Everyone is talking about the end but I love the begging guitar part just makes me feel something. I listen to like thousands of different songs over a wide spectrum of genres and this has been the only song to really make me legitimately cry
the reason its so chaotic at the end is cause mac wanted to portrait that even when things get chaotic you gotta stay on beat, and i find that beautiful
iv'e fallen asleep to moonlight on the river so many times ---- its just a heavenly song you could listen to while looking up at the starry sky next to a river heheee
this song is about mac demarcos relationship with his father, who was not really around or present when Mac was growing up, building tension between them as he grows, the entire album is a release of emotion on growing up without a father who loves you, i think it's beautiful
[Verse 1] I'd say, see you later, if I thought I'd see you later And I'd tell you, that I loved you, if I did It's so strange, deciding, how to feel about it It's such strange emotion standing there beside it [Chorus] I'm home, with moonlight on the river, saying my goodbyes I'm home, there's moonlight on the river, everybody dies [Verse 2] I'd say, see you next time, if I thought there were a next time Easy conversation, ain't exactly where we're at It's so strange, deciding, how I feel about you It ain't like I ain't used to going on without you [Chorus] I'm home, with moonlight on the river, saying my goodbyes I'm home, there's moonlight on the river, everybody dies I'm home, with moonlight on the river, saying my goodbyes I'm home, there's moonlight on the river, everybody dies
@@autisticrat53no way!! I was never in this place but... with those laughts and the type of the voice in the laught I thought it was something like that Actualy i thought exactly like that
I loved her so much. Me and her were together several years, we grew up together and literally had a place together. We loved each other dramatically and since we met we talked all day everyday. I haven't talked to her in almost half a year. 2 days ago I walked past an area and it wasn't just an area, it was where we had our first kiss. It all came at me so hard I felt I can see it happening all over again, I remember she went home that day she got picked up and I ran outside and I started jumping around screaming out of happiness. It's all over tho. My best friend is gone, my lover, my everything
Grieve. It’s a loss, a different type of loss but a loss nonetheless. Time will heal your wounds but scars will remain as a reminder of mistakes. You will never really forget her but you will be wiser and you will find another. Take the time to get to know who you really are and try new things.. things that scare you. Stay safe and chin up.
A part of me will always love him and that's just out of my control, but instead of looking back at the sad times I can look back at the happy times we spent together because it was good whilst it lasted :) this song helps me remember it all and reflect on how much I've changed because of it
How do you look back without sobbing at how they held you, said they loved you? How do you let go, when you never had the chance? I'm tired of this nightmare and wanna move on. Please, tell me how. I'm begging you.
@@biggosmallman746sometimes if you have to sob, don’t stop yourself from doing so. just keep your head up high. trust me, with time, you may not ever completely be back to how you were before you met them, but you’ll be even more beautifully put back together little by little with the experiences and lessons you gained from it. stay strong, the future is still bright (: from one healing heart to another.
The last bit with the distorted noises reminds me of when you’re lost in a crowd as a kid, trying to find the absent father that youll never find, the crowd taunting you. I think that’s what mac was portraying as the song is about his relationship with his father. (Not that I know if his relationship is good or not)
i hate sad songs because it makes me unable to get up and do what i planned to do, it makes me want to just close my eyes, just sleep and rest. And only rest..
This song reminds me of the feeling of being lost for so long until you finally find that place you call home when it all suddenly crashes onto you, the struggle, the hatred, the pain, finally knowing it was worth it.
Mi último deseo en vida sería escuchar esta versión de la canción, en una tarde muy nublada frente a la playa. Sentado y cobijado, solo con los audífonos, y solo en general...
This song…. It’s so sad because it’s talking about death… my dad died 4 days ago… this song make me cry… I don’t want to go on without him but I have to… seeing all his stuff get donated… knowing he will never see me graduate high school or go to college… I’m not ready for that… I thought I had more time with him… I did not know he would die this early.. I thought I had untill I was a adult… I don’t know what I will do without him… all I know is that I have to keep going for him,for my little brother,for everyone in my family.. Mabye, yk, I will see you in another life dad… I miss you, so much…
Guys my crush was placed into my class this year, and I didnt get to speak a single word to her. Know that “sorry no” will always hurt less than regret.
This song is all I have left of him, my dear friend passed away last year. These memories remind me of the simple little times we’d have together before he had to move. I’m still processing everything and I learned that he’s another person I have to live for now. See ya later cowboy, your forest friend.
It’s always nice to have that passage that helps take you back to the past, especially when you cherish and look back at it the good times with a smile. Keep that head up 🙌
Mac has cited Plastic Ono Band as an inspiration. This song is good as any on there, and you can really see the resemblance. This and the closer are so real and poignant. Incredible lyrics, pacing and production
this song really makes my heart hurt in such a good way. i love this song so much, but it gives me such bad trauma. i would go back in a heartbeat just to hear this song for my first time.
This song reminds me of the good times I spent with my friends in middle school, I barely see them anymore passing by them in the halls seeing them grow up and become their own person but sometimes I miss when we went to the park on the swings and listened to this on repeat, we all went through the same things all though we didn't speak about our struggles we all knew what each other were thinking. I don't speak to them much anymore, but I cherish the times I do, as time passes though we all grow more apart live our lives, ill always wish them the best wherever they go in life. Good times man.
I was with my ex for 3 years. I still remember the way we felt on our first date how nervous and excited we were, I still remember the feelings of getting ready to go see her, I remember her family and her friends. I remember her smile. The last time i saw her I knew it was the end and I cried in front of her for the first time and she grabbed my face and looked me in my eyes and kissed me and said I love you and everythings going to be ok. When she left I knew that was it. And it was. Its been months and everyday gets worse without my best friend, I miss her beautiful fucking smile so much and I'd kill to relive it all. My beautiful baby is just fucking gone
@@toxicwaste380 it's been about a year since my long term relationship ended, and I understand exactly what you described. It's actually scary how similar your experience was to mine, I was subconsciously reliving it in detail while reading that. It hurts like hell but trust me, things will get better with time. You just gotta stay strong.
@@Soul_Cinema sux man. I lost a lot of friends. A lot of my friends were hers, and her little brother was like my best friend man. Its all gone now lol I have no friends no one to hang out with at all, go to work come home and just sit there man I dont even eat some days bc this shit makes it feel impossible
This song really represents a lot in my life especially during the end it leaves you in your head all the laughing and depressed nature. this is a good example of how depression really fells to me.
The ending were u hear a bunch of noices, almost like voices, overlaping eachother always sounded like to voices mocking me and laughing at me for my failures. Iv always heard it like that, makes me feel somewhat lonely honestly
This song reminds me of change, on how change is a good thing but as a result. Change is difficult in beginning stages because you have to accept the outcome not forget it.
My brother passed away 6 months ago and this was the song that played in my mind when I got the phone call, I’m not sure if its dumb but it reminds me of him so much because when we were younger we were so close then grew apart but I regret it. I regret growing apart so much I miss him and I wish I was able to tell him that
i lose myself when the part ''im home'' comes. it is so pretty. it feels like realizing everything, realizing that you are surrounded by people, by different lifes. you are in an environment, you have so much thing to discover, to learn, to be happy with. you have a life, you are alive. you are life.
my first love was in 5th grade. i fell in love with this boy who liked another girl. i listened to songs that reminded me him, but it was all kept a secret. after a while he told me liked me back but didn’t say a word. he even told his friends about me :) i didn’t want one of those old weird relationships, i wanted him and to hold him. we didn’t talk for over a year, and now we’re in the same school again. now we act as if nothing happened, he’s in a relationship with the prettiest girl. ive supported him all along, and now ive finally got over him. :/
This song is like finally getting to where you wanted to be in life, but then remembering in the silence of the night how much it has cost you to get there.
I'd say, see you later, if I thought I'd see you later And I'd tell you, that I loved you, if I did It's so strange, deciding, how to feel about it It's such strange emotion standing there beside it I'm home, with moonlight on the river, saying my goodbyes I'm home, there's moonlight on the river, everybody dies I'd say, see you next time, if I thought there were a next time Easy conversation, ain't exactly where we're at It's so strange, deciding, how I feel about you It ain't like I ain't used to going on without you I'm home, with moonlight on the river, saying my goodbyes I'm home, there's moonlight on the river, everybody dies I'm home, with moonlight on the river, saying my goodbyes I'm home, there's moonlight on the river, everybody dies
I remember reading that the actual meaning of the song is acceptance of death, his father was diagnosed with cancer and their relationship was not really good, so the song is actually of wishing that they could be closer but realizing that there isn't any time left for that.
@@Dxmned_Mxnace desabafo no youtube justamente pq eu sei que ngm irá responder a mim, como sempre. nao ligo dos outros nao gostarem de mim, tbm nao gosto de mim. vc só quer caçar briga por mais carência ainda
I’m in this weird stage with my boyfriend. I’m extremely in love with him and I’ve never felt so much for a human being until him. He had his heart broken before me and now he finds it really hard to be sensitive and he lacks emotion a lot of the time and he can be a REAL dick. I feel like I have to let him go because he’s not treating me the way I should be treated. I plan cute dates and buy him little gifts and sometimes even flowers. I clean his house sometimes as a surprise and bring over dinner all the time so that he can just go home and relax. I do so much for him truthfully. After almost a year of bearing through the ups and downs he tells me that he’s not capable of change. It feels unfair to myself to stay and endure it. I feel like I’ve lost my best friend and this shit is so hard to think about. Anyways those are my thought while listening to this song.
Well I actually just broke up with him a little while ago. He never got better, he didn’t care too and that’s what I had to realize in order for me to walk away. He’s trying to get me back but I know how it’ll turn out if I put myself back into a relationship with him.
Ah yes. The couples in here, love reading your stories wish I could relate. Both of my pillows are wet cause I just got turned down by my ex that I still love and cherish deeply.
Amo tanto esas notas esas esa forma de cantar algo tan melancolíco y deprimente suena como un vino algo una vevida tan cruda algo que te hace recordar algo que no es lo que quisieras recordar pero lo recuerdas te hace pensar
i can remember as one of my class mates sent a long messaged about how she was going to be homeschooled this was the first song i listened to and now when ever i think of her this song plays in my head and it nevers gets old so hopefully we will meet again in the future
