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

this song sounds like falling in love with someone who doesn’t love you back

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

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

i am so proud of my music taste.

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

Just when you thought it couldn’t get slower

i love how i clicked this by accident and now I hear it almost every night.

I met this beautiful girl in Greece one day at the beach. Swimming in the sea I saw her there and decided to say hi. Instantly we found ourselves in a beautiful conversation. We came out of the water and sat talking for hours on end all day until it was midnight. I remember feeling so light and feathery around her, as if I was in a dream. She left Greece the next day to fly somewhere else and I remember still being in Greece on my own, shocked at the beautiful experience that I’d just had with this angelic girl. We stay in contact still to this day via phone and I hope to see her again in person🙏

this song just feels like when u know you have to end things but dont have the strength to

4:44 this is what it felt like leaving my old friend group knowing that every moment we were together was replaceable to them.

I listened to this song the night my dog died. Just reminds me of her now.

I found this in my best lsd trip... Im so glad with the universe

its just a slowed down song, but i needed it more than you know. thank you.

this is... beautiful

fuck this is the saddest slowed down mac tune ever it was already sad enough in the right tempo

this is my favorite song of all time, and slowing it down made me fall in love with it so much more

[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

Something about this song just makes me feel a bittersweet feeling and empty and it’s like I’ve lost something and want to cry but I can’t…but either way it’s very soothing and I listen to it at night a bunch.

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

I just miss her bro

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

Rest in Peace Akira Toriyama san the story of Dragon Ball will live on forever ❤️🕊️

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH IT HURTS

Bro I like .....cried cried to this tf ouch

is it just me who tears up? idk why but it brings me such a wave of nostalgia and emotion

"The day when John Marston stopped shooting"

I love this and the original but this one is just more soothing to the ear

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

I feel sad when I listen to this. I don't want to go too deep but..... This song makes me remember the good moments between me and her

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)

Fuck the explosive ending sounds even more depressing in this version thank you c':

I hate being around people

Y’all halo reach is sick

This is how “one of those days” feels

i listened to this song in the car with her holding her hand and looking at her eyes blinded with love and laughter. now i drink my pre work out and work out to this song to feel better about my self.

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

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…. 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…

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...

The ending is literally my favorite part thank you for keeping it in

this is easily the best song I’ve ever heard, listened to it hundreds of times in 2021-2023 and was my top song each year. It never gets old and it never fails to make me emotional. Mac Demarco is a legend and forever will be.

Me too, man. Me too.

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.

Funny how the sounds near the end used to irritate and scare me, now it just feels right and comfortable after listening it many times.

ILY THIS SM ❤️

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.

That one soul crushing feeling reminding you we are all mortals when you hear that your friend slit their wrist.

Thank you Mac, this song has helped me in my lowest moments and I can only imagine what you had to go through to make it

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.

Our time has passed john...

anytime i look at him in the eyes, all i see through my mind is trees so vastly green that grows over your head, valleys of trees that stretch past what the eye can see that’s sit on mountains with a yellow glow that peaks through the cracks of them, him alone makes me feel like i can be safe, i just don’t know if im ready to really love again.

“i’ll talk to you later babe, night.” never gonna forget those words. 😭😭

heaven 👁✨👁

Moonlight on the river✨❣️

Thank you for this

this song really made me cry about something that happened years ago and i really needed the cry thank you so much for it

i come back to visit this every time i miss my friend, i know ur up there watching over me 💜

this song made me feel so nostalgic i even had the feeling that the best part of my life already passed and i’m wasting my present

im gonna die this is perfection

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.

When it comes to the last 7 minutes and 3 seconds of my life, this song will be playing.

Obra de arte meus amigos, apreciem!!!

This is great

I love the noises at the end so much dude

it hits deep into the soul

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.

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.

Towards the end of the song 5:30 is like me fighting my depression

Thanks for that masterpiece

Your channel is so underrated

I remember that I listened to this with my ex on our first date, she broke up with me a month ago after 1.5 years together, damn this hurts a lot...

took cid w this song playing with one of my bestfriends this song will forever be remembered

and I wish I was loved

this song feels like saying goodbye

I miss my grandpa 🖤♓ since my grandfather passed away nothing was the same.

I love Mac Demarco with my heart 🖤

5:20 petting a feral goat is a dream lasting long

I first heard this song on a post that was showing a call and talking about "That one person you can call for hours" and it kinda made me realize something. The girl I had told I would marry, get property with, spend 8 hours almost daily on call with, talked about the travels we'd have, had faded from my memory. In 2 months. I am so used to having my hopes of someone staying in my life permenantly absolutely crushed, that my brain fogged it out, and that was perhaps the most soul crushing thing I have ever truly thought about.

I hope she always looks at me the way she does now. Her eyes are so beautiful, full of life and curiosity.. full of adventure.

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.

Idk who's idea the ending was but i love it

everybody thought i listen to rap but this was the thing that im banging my head to ‼️‼️‼️‼️

Hey It’ll brighten up tommorow get some rest:)

this song is so cozy.

She came back to me yall, and I let her. I let it happen all over again, from me to anyone who reads this if someone shows that they can live without you, don’t let them back in it’s just not worth it. 2 years of happiness with her wasnt worth the lifetime of regret and sadness I will endure

This song feels like the ending to a movie or a really good book

This song is everything

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.

thank you

This song is so beautiful

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

Its evokotive. What in the world a slowed down version : 33 luv ya mac baby

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

I used to listen this song with sadness in the past, but now it hits different in a peaceful, optmistic way, it's beautiful

This song feels like a flowing river leading to a waterfall. (calm beginning being the flowing water and the ending being the waterfall drop)

This gives off the sensation of fighting back your eyes from falling into a deep sleep one last time, but finally letting go.

this song sounds like loving someone who u cant have for years and ur writing about them on ur backyard porch before ur death

Why does the beginning feel so nostalgic🤤
