I don't think enough people respect his musical prowess. Doing the whole prince thing and playing all the parts on the song. Mac's definitely talented.
Had the privilege to stop by his house in Far Rockaway, New York. After hearing his invitation for a cup of coffee on his album, of course. Got off the subway and wandered down the street to his neighborhood with the sun setting pink and purple. I saw his Grateful Dead tapestry though the window. The vibes were just unreal. Kiki answered and had told me he left to tour Mexico... I left him a note written on a water bottle saying hello. Fast forward to this year... I live in LA now. I was at a Homeshake concert and DeMarco and Jerry Paper showed up. I finally got the chance to tell Mac about our missed encounter in NYC. Then he asked me for a cigarette. It all came full circle.
+becca i met him once & he was actually really sincere. such a funny dude though & i applaud his judgment on when being funny is appropriate. god i love him
Saw this video 8 years ago, just starting my job, 25. Really help get through, thankfully everything went fine, have a family now. Dont know why but every now and then, i come back to the video. Nostalgic vibes
A lot of comments here of people saying he's living like he's poor. Just judging by the Synthesizers he has, Dudes definitely making something. I see here a Yamaha DX7 and Roland Juno-60 (which are around 2 Grand). In other videos I've seen him have a Roland JX-3P and Sequential Prophet 5 (which go for 4+ Grand)!
From wikipedia : "It was initially developed by Remington Vernam, whose signature "R. Vernam" inspired the name of the neighborhood." My god, he's actually right..
he is full of his childhood references around him. i think it says a lot. when you keep your inner child around, makes it easy to access this part of ypu.
This has become one of my favorite videos on youtube in the part year. I love being able to sneak a peak behind the curtains into Mac's setup for this album, and the fun uplifting energy Mac comes to the tracks with.
I can't put my finger on all the wonderful old souls that seem to be inside this young man, his humor, his voice, his vivaciousness. John Lennon, John Belushi or maybe sharing a cosmic connection with the still living Bill Murray - but then holding a seance on a home studio ala gene+dean ween ... man I don't know a goddamned thing but that this Mac DeMarco is something else, a wonderment, a gift, a generous talent....
"now he takes a little solo gets a little carried awaaaayyy" *weird arm flaying movements and knocks over water onto keyboard* "aaahh" *kiki laughs adorably*
Assuming this was filmed with an NTSC VHS camcorder, the video's max vertical resolution doesn't even exceed 250 lines, yet we willingly waste our bandwidth watching the 720P version... Probably the only thing 720P in the entire video are the titles. On top of all that, the source video has a 4:3 aspect ratio, so this was a VHS source rendered as a pillarboxed 16:9 aspect ratio 720P clip. This madness must stop. Who's watched this on a 120 Hz+ display? That makes everything even more ridiculous. Hope you all feel the same.
***** Hey, Mike, if you aren't going to get on the video specs train, don't stress about it. For all that agree, let's let Mark DeMarco and Captured Tracks know how we feel. PLEASE LIKE THIS COMMENT AND REPLY WITH: "WE'VE HAD ENOUGH, MARK! DOWNGRADE TO 480P! STAND UP FOR YOUR NTSC ROOTS! 525 LINES OR DIE!" Let's get the ball rolling!
Omg i wonder what stress he was under, maybe they put a deadline on him? Cause he has that same tweaking energy that i get when ive been writing an essay for 3 days without sleep and i need it to be fucking perfect and my mind is like mac here
1:44 He was right. "Arverne is a neighborhood in the New York City borough of Queens, on the Rockaway Peninsula. It was initially developed by Remington Vernam, whose signature "R. Vernam" inspired the name of the neighborhood."
i love re visting this video after 2 years or trying my own music production, and appreciate the instruments that mac is using such as the Dx7 and the Juno
Dude's famous and still lives a simple existence. Blessed, hope he never stops doing his thing.
Reminisciences Famous musician does not equal a rich existence these days. These artists today are broke as hell.
LilRedRasta You'd be surprised. All his equipment is definitely over $2000
Slightly Slower Songs I'm willing to bet it's even more.. He's got 2 fenders, a shit ton of roland synths and a drum kit
Slightly Slower Songs and mixing panels, even more guitars, a bass.. Speakers, amplifiers
The stuff from 2 was quite simplistic but since Salad Days he's pretty much spent all his money on music from the looks of things
I don't think enough people respect his musical prowess. Doing the whole prince thing and playing all the parts on the song. Mac's definitely talented.
***** True, but is it not a talent just because other people have done it? Dummy.
I don't think enough people respect his penis at the beginning.
+thunder but are all of them as good?
everybody does the prince thing dude c'mon you know better, its easier than having a bunch of drug addicts try to agree on shit.
Def Operator hahahaha touché.
Music is probably the only thing that calms him down.... and Viceroys.

oh wow. that's a universe story right there.
what song is that invitation on?
@@dr.grandson2508 End of the song "My House by the Water". Very end of his Another One album.
@@LavishClub that's what I thought it must be, but I did scrub through it. must've gone right over it
He probably just made her say that whenever he didn't want to deal with fans crazy enough to come to his house.
"WHO WANTS A LITTLE KEYBOARD? YOU DO? OKAY HERE WE GO"
Benjamin Hasselstrøm what song is that?
Well Its not a part of any song, but the song he was playing at the time was "Ive been waiting for her"
+Benjamin Hasselstrøm Han er så dum.
I thought it was "lucky boy".
That was cute x3
I hope that one day I can learn to be myself the way Mac is himself.
I hope you have
For real I take much inspiration from that, also what makes the guy so enjoyable, like I would be friends with him
Yaba
It's called coke.
Hey just checking in did you do it
I love this video so much 🥺
Hey jake zeeman love your content bro
youre my my my my kind of music man
The fuck outta here!
him yelling at kiki at the start is the first time ive ever heard mac be serious
That what I said lol
+becca i met him once & he was actually really sincere. such a funny dude though & i applaud his judgment on when being funny is appropriate. god i love him
+becca s jessi slaughter? :o
when i met mac he was so shy and gentle
_ _ the fuck when?

It's a classic
such a beautiful film
capturing the plight of the mac in his natural environment
such a beautiful smell
Captaincrunchfan1999 his apartment prolly smells like cigarettes and dirty dick, still love ya mac 😂

not to mention his Fender Rhodes piano
my dx7 cost 550 aus
Yeah the DX7 can still be picked up for 300 dollars in the right places, but never more then 500 usually.
Got my DX7 for $100
Does anyone know what preamp he had his guitar plugged into? The blue and grey and yellow one?
mac lives like he doesn't make any fucking money
Kevin Buckley Because he doesn't spend money on things he doesn't need. Pretty smart; he's probably got a shitload saved.
Kevin Buckley probably doesn't make much to be honest. I think people would be surprised how much famous indie artists make. It's barely middle class.
Kevin Buckley the equipment he had in that room was probably only totaled between 10-20k. I have nearly that much just from collecting over the years.
Kevin Buckley subtle :v
what is?
god bless mac demarco. he is one of the most genuine artists and person i have ever witnessed
I've already watched this five times now.
Wow Ethan, great moves! Keep it up, proud of you!
DamnNoiceStuff *introstartsplaying*
ethan?
@@Saucegod207 h3h3
I think you ment Matt
Poorly aged comment
"It's not bullshit, I read it on wikipedia."
From wikipedia : "It was initially developed by Remington Vernam, whose signature "R. Vernam" inspired the name of the neighborhood." My god, he's actually right..
Woojin Kim Or maybe that was Mac's own writing as he said he would
Too bad he actually said "I'll write it on Wikipedia"... nice try tho
Which is 10 times funnier and wittier and I'm baffled how the inaccurate comment has this many likes
Pappa bless.. wait.. wrong dude..
yeah that "for her" at the end was extremely ethan
we could easily make an h3 - demarco community
V A P O R W A V E
true
God bless Mac's caretaker, he would be a mess without her
I could listen to 0:02 - 0:12 all day, freaking love it
its called the way youd love her
Mac Demarco is my spirit animal.
Wow this guy actually wears those overalls casually? I thought he just did that at shows. This makes it even more funny for some reason.
Daniel Oliver yea Mac doesn’t really care about the money
You say this like overalls are uncomfortable or high fashion.
Literally Anyone can Wear Overalls Casually, Your acting as if it’s rare for people to wear them outside
he is full of his childhood references around him. i think it says a lot. when you keep your inner child around, makes it easy to access this part of ypu.
Mac & Kiki are an amazing couple. They give me hope for humanity. Such sweethearts.
This has become one of my favorite videos on youtube in the part year. I love being able to sneak a peak behind the curtains into Mac's setup for this album, and the fun uplifting energy Mac comes to the tracks with.
This video will never not cheer me up.
make another one of these for your next album please mac
Phillip Hannestad I see what you did there...
her laugh is so cute aw

Art Shahidi
I remember that one it looks beautiful
He played it again on his new Christmas song 😍
I’ve been addicted to TH-cam since 2009 and this video is in my top 10 favourites

Mac is the most wonderful, functionally insane man making music today.
Getting back from school to this has enlightened my day! Oh yah
I come back to this video every once and while and watching it brings me home. Love you mac
aw kiera's laugh is so cute
This man is the existential embodiment of an artist
[in a Cameron pretending to be Ferris Bueller's girlfriend's dad voice]
"I like to play my instruments because it makes me happy."
OKAY?
And I love listening to Mac play his instruments because it makes ME happy.
This guy and Tyler the creator are the funniest and most talented musicians in my opinion. Love Mac and Tyler.
Tyler sucks tho bruh. Love Tyler but he ain’t all that
@@ROB7002 bro you're on crack tyler is great
@@ROB7002 You should check up at your local doctors, your ears need fixing

I wish he knew he was my dad, my mom is waiting on that child support
This is my favorite video on the entirety of the internet
I’m in love with Mac DeMarco
lost a Mac last week and ive been so sad but this Mac got my spirits lifted
I can't put my finger on all the wonderful old souls that seem to be inside this young man, his humor, his voice, his vivaciousness. John Lennon, John Belushi or maybe sharing a cosmic connection with the still living Bill Murray - but then holding a seance on a home studio ala gene+dean ween ... man I don't know a goddamned thing but that this Mac DeMarco is something else, a wonderment, a gift, a generous talent....
He is the very definition of living and breathing music.
I love to play my instruments because it makes me happy. ok!
i'm addicted to this video, i come here every day
"now he takes a little solo gets a little carried awaaaayyy" *weird arm flaying movements and knocks over water onto keyboard* "aaahh" *kiki laughs adorably*
I always come back to this video time to time when I feel down, Mac personality makes me happy

***** Hey, Mike, if you aren't going to get on the video specs train, don't stress about it.
For all that agree, let's let Mark DeMarco and Captured Tracks know how we feel. PLEASE LIKE THIS COMMENT AND REPLY WITH: "WE'VE HAD ENOUGH, MARK! DOWNGRADE TO 480P! STAND UP FOR YOUR NTSC ROOTS! 525 LINES OR DIE!"
Let's get the ball rolling!
Why don't you make your own video to show them how it's done?
Omg i wonder what stress he was under, maybe they put a deadline on him? Cause he has that same tweaking energy that i get when ive been writing an essay for 3 days without sleep and i need it to be fucking perfect and my mind is like mac here
could literally listen to 2:00-2:05 on repeat forever
Sophia Tan right his drumming is simple but it takes alot to play “simple”
still love watching this video, perfectly captures his personality and simple lifestyle, Another One is probably my favorite album from him
NU YOK! NU YOK! NU YOK! NU YOK!
EEYYY, KAPEESH?
Mac reminds me of myself so much and it makes me happy that he felt the same way I do yeaaaaars ago. His success is definitely something I look up to
the solo on just to put me down is incredible
I've watched this more times than I can count.
Same! I have just about every single bit of talking/singing memorized
This man. Is a musical mastermind.
i keep revisiting this every once in a while. pretty soon i'm gonna have it memorized.
Damn I havnt gotten excited about something in music in years ... You healed my hipster heart of stone
this video always helps me outa depressive episodes, thanks mac-y

1:44 He was right.
"Arverne is a neighborhood in the New York City borough of Queens, on the Rockaway Peninsula. It was initially developed by Remington Vernam, whose signature "R. Vernam" inspired the name of the neighborhood."
This is the most first-world quality video i've ever seen, damn mac deserves it.
0:27 the best part
This is my favorite video on the internet
this guy is the best. him and his band have a great stage vibe too
Once in awhile I watch this to remember what it felt like to be in my early twenties and free
Everything About this video is so 90s
NOO YOIK. NOO YOIK NOO YOIK. NOO YOIK SITTAY !!
Mac Demarco is a freakin' genius!
I miss u Mac. Thank u for all the music.
I love that he's recording with a Tascam 388. That's a great tape machine.
When ever I'm sad I just watch this and it brings my happiness level up 95% love u mac
You should be on an episode of Trailer Park Boys i think
After hearing his songs I can’t believe he makes all the sounds himself and puts them all together himself in that room… unfucking believable
“Hey what you making?”
“Another one”
Now I still listening to music for him ❤❤❤
other producers: i made sure i add this eq to cut out the high end so it doesn't clip with the synth then i panned these drums bla bla bla
mac: 0:27
This is my therapeutic video.
You're a legend Mac! Can't wait, fuck
i love re visting this video after 2 years or trying my own music production, and appreciate the instruments that mac is using such as the Dx7 and the Juno
Im glad to see this man is also a stand up wiper
