this song is really special to me. thanks for listening :) "SMILEY BOY" was recorded live at Blue Dream Studios in Los Angeles, CA Vocals/Guitar by Mac Ayres shot by Raquel Rodriguez mixed/mastered/engineered by Sam Brawner
you’re insanely talented and i’m so happy i found you. i was in such a dark place when i first listened to you and ever since, you’ve been my absolute favourite artist. i just wanna thank you so much because listening to your music has been one of the best coping mechanisms i’ve developed. soon the world will see how absolutely fucking talented you are and i can’t wait to see it.
SMILEY BOY (LIVE) LYRICS [Verse 1] I'm stuck in a danger zone The king of a lonely throne And the line between my love and hate grows thin Nobody worth trusting in I'm flying with hollow wings I just hope I don't burn out against the sun Have I come this far to tell you that I'm done? [Chorus] Feels like this won't change Feels like this won't change And it's got a hold on me Feels like it won't change Told you I'd be waiting on blue Blue skies [Verse 2] I don't even know myself Feel like I'm somebody else And I'm finding out how far I'd go to change Back into that smiley boy Before he heard all the noise Oh they say some things just never go our way, no But you want to tell me how I can't complain [Chorus] Feels like this won't change Feels like this won't change And it's got a hold on me Feels like it won't change, yeah yeah Told you I'd be waiting on blue Blue skies [Bridge] Said oh, and If I'm being honest I don't miss yesterday So here's to hoping I can keep my head on straight [Chorus] Feels like it's never gonna change Feels like it won't change, yeah Feels like it won't change, yeah Told you I'd be waiting on blue Blue skies
i got to the point that i’ve listened to Juicebox so many times i can hear the “Come Thru” intro coming right after the song ends. Thank you for the unbelievably wonderful music Mac, you made my days nicer this year with Juicebox :)
a really underrated talent, I’m so glad that I was one of the people who discovered you when you were an underground artist and now I get to see you blossom into the artist you were meant to be. I can’t wait to see you in Boston Mac!
Mac Ayres is probably my favourite artist, ever. In short I love this. I honestly have no other words other than that I love this and I will always support it. Thank you so so so much for everything mac, keep fighting.
From a guitarist stand of point, i just want to say that: the way you compose has helped me understand better harmony. Big fan of yours. So pumped about these new songs you released
Can't get enough of your music! I hope you never stop. You are truly the one artist to this day that I do not tire of listening to. You are innovative and have the most lovely voice.
Ever since i first started listening to you this was the first song i heard from you and i fell in love with your voice and all of your music. it resonates so well and i’m just in love with all your music and this one will always be a favorite. i hope you’re living yourself life the fullest!💞✨
Straight passion and heartfelt emotion evoked through your performances. I can almost feel what your feeling, as im sure many other listeners can as well. You have a talent that in my opinion goes deeper than the music and the sound. The message is real and genuine. Mad respect ✊🏽
mac ayres, a talented king. thank you for creating music, your voice and the instruments just go so well together it’s euphoric. btw, everyone go listen to his album ‘Drive Slow’, best album i’ve ever encountered tbh
i was so lucky i got to listen to this live at your concert but didn’t know the name, i then found out later when juicebox was out and i still can’t get over it! thanks for good music man the world needs more like you❤️
I think I connect with this song the most off of the new album! Yet all the songs I have heard from Mac have a timeless feel..I feel like it's a melancholy yet hopeful vibe that's rarely found in music today love it. Can't wait til concert in Detroit at El Club will definitely be there!!!
this album was the only thing that i’d been looking forward to for a very, very long time. your music has helped me through so many bad days and i just appreciate you so much man. i see you on november 5th, n i’m hoping i’ll get to thank you face to face 😎
i remember seeing you through spotify one destined night, totally unaware of how much your BOPS would influence me. your music is amazing my guy; sing on and I’ll see you in Dallas 11/9 😝
Im so freaking mad at myself, where have you been!!! I should have known about you a year ago...ugh I've been needing this song ever since the pandemic started...better late than never, but better on time than late...well I bought everything you got on amazon music and happy now!!! Yes I bought EVERYTHING!!!! BTW Sam Brawner recorded this perfectly...PERFECT
As mentioned on your first video I have subscribed. However, I have a confession. I absolutely love love your craft and been listening since last year. I listen to your music all the time and not once have I purchased any of your content. Please can you consider an ability so that I can happily purchase a digital copy of every track you have created so that it goes onto you creating more. I'm sure I'm not the only one that has this sentiment. :)

Mac sounds like no one else and everyone at the same time. I know that makes no sense but I can’t predict what sounds he’ll create but it feels so instantly familiar.
In the chorus the lyrics '....blue skies', Mac ayres refers to his previous track made a few years ago called 'Blue skies'. The start of the chorus is really similiar to that song. The track is on his soundcloud check it out ! (It's a realllyyy good track) m.soundcloud.com/macayres/blue-skies
