No lie, NPR audience is the best place to hang. Genuinely nice people in every comment thread. Stan the fans as much as the venue and the talent. Stay gold, people. Love y'all.
@@steviepratama0092 In this video Mac Ayres stated it's a new song, not yet published, and that he just premiered it here - so we are the lucky ones to hear it first - great tune 🔥
I love Mac. This man gave us so many lit albums. His voice embodies the feeling of putting on clothes straight from the dryer after a long day. The feeling of drinking cool water after a run. And even finding a $20 in your pocket. Thanks Tiny Desk for showing this man’s buttery silky smooth talent
No over the top beats, just a talented man with an incredible voice, playing a few instruments beautifully and giving us songs that last forever. Mac Ayres, ladies and gentlemen
I’m such a huge Mac fan!! My 5 year old is autistic and has been non verbal most of his life and one day out of nowhere, started singing the chorus of “Shadows!” 💕
I've been following mac since 2017, and finally got the chance to see him earlier this year in Nashville. It was an absolutely magical experience! Even got my cuts heal in time shirt signed!
Please get Mac in when Tiny Desk returns in person, and especially get him to perform Show Me accompanied with a sax player like in his version at House Studios
Wish we got one before quarantine, but honestly this seems more like Mac. We’d get the absolute best performance from him at home in his own studio where he makes his best songs. Love itttt
My girlfriend and I had the privilege of meeting Mac in Chicago last year. Mans is the most down to earth, chill dude around, not to mention an amazing artist! Keep it up man, solid set!!
"Walking Home" possibly my favorite track by Mac Ayers. I feel so fortunate to have found his music at my lowest, it has helped me get past a lot of things holding me back. Thanks for sharing such tremendous talent it has helped my healing
Time and time again this man proves why he’s my favorite artist. Blessed to be alive to witness his greatness firsthand. Can’t wait to see what you do next. Thanks Mac
The most underrated artist ever, hope he someday gets the recognition that he deserves. Till that day, I'll be here singing with him every tune, go maccccc
Never thought I'd say this but this compa got me through some rough times. Been listening to his music since I heard "Give up" in a public radio station here in Los Angeles (KCRW for the win!). Been hooked on his art ever since. Go get 'em Mac. You're a legend in the making. Especially now with everything going on in the world, your music is an oasis.
been rocking since Drive Slow. saw his show in SF last October. absolutely amazing. all of his albums are art, but Juicebox changed me for real. It’s the musical growth and excellence for me 😌 one of my favorite albums of all time
oh my god man that was amazing, I'm so glad I found Mac ayres when he was small man, it's been almost 3 maybe 4 years. Just wait until more people catch wind of him, and this style of music! ugh the vibes man.
PETITION TO BRING MAC BACK TO NPR WITH HIS WHOLE BAND THIS TIME
Where do we sign?
He is his whole band. One of few Musical Geniuses in our time. Blessed to have experienced such a wonderfully talented artist.
While he’s hot and on tour especially please
I second this!
Agreed
this man deserves an in-person tiny desk concert
No lie, NPR audience is the best place to hang. Genuinely nice people in every comment thread. Stan the fans as much as the venue and the talent. Stay gold, people. Love y'all.
We agree! Thanks for being a part of our awesome audience! 🤗
Could not agree more!
And you can see normally people asking for the same artists as you! HAHAHA!
Cheers !!
Great comment and it's so true. Love and good music
@@nprmusic Can't wait to meet everyone in person one day! :)
One hundred percent. That’s why I stay right here!
YES MAC!!!! FINALLY

Yesss pleaaase 😭
Alone with you pls :(
finally my boy Mac Ayres came thru!! too underrated

Definitely is!
I love Mac. This man gave us so many lit albums. His voice embodies the feeling of putting on clothes straight from the dryer after a long day. The feeling of drinking cool water after a run. And even finding a $20 in your pocket. Thanks Tiny Desk for showing this man’s buttery silky smooth talent
love this description :)
POIGNANTLY PUT.
That's the absolute perfect way to describe his voice! Fully agree.
Tiffany the wordsmith!
this was perfect description love it
If butter could sing....it would sound like this 🤗💜
I agree. He floats also. I just love him!
IF BUTTER COULD SING !! yes sis!!
No lie I discovered Mac Ayres on a Spotify playlist called Butter.
When you’re lactose intolerant. 😩😩😩🚽🚽🚽
this was a perfect description
Did he really just layer his own harmonies with himself? I think I love him.
Right like mind blown!
It’s kinda normal lol
@@gigimuse4985yeah like that’s what’s in all his music haha but he is excellent at it!
This live session sounds just like his album.. that’s how you know the vocals is the real deal.
Exactly!
Man, wish we got Summertime or Slow Down, but I’m glad we got these four. Easy is one of my favorite songs of all time
I wished he played all 3 albums😳
Mine too!❤
summertime and wrong are my fave 🥺
Easy is just brilliant and beautiful! Agreed fasho
I wanted Calvin's Joint T_T But lets be real anything from Mac is a blessing
when covid is done we need a proper version, in prrson
In prison?
@@andrewgelpump First place my mind went. We need to make some changes in our lives. haha
i agree
first time seeing him, uh, how does he play all 3 parts in person? lol
Yeeeeeeeep
Watching in 2024 and we still need an in person tiny desk from Mac PLEASEEEEEEEEE
No over the top beats, just a talented man with an incredible voice, playing a few instruments beautifully and giving us songs that last forever. Mac Ayres, ladies and gentlemen
The way he used his chords is crazy
Truth.
that's what we call BLACK old school r&b. D'angelo did it better than anyone.
@@drakelarsen3749 and Stevie wonder the pioneer ofc. Mac is a big fan of him and he said that he got influenced a lot by stevie
@@drakelarsen3749 He's wearing a D'angelo t-shirt on his last collab with Allen Stone, check it up ;)
@@naomioktarina3981 you can tell when he “smiles” on his O’s. Just like Stevie lol
FINALLY.... been waiting forever for this man to be on NPR...
Dude same
mac said let’s end 2020 on a good note
we all are waiting
“She Won’t Stay Long” = SOOOOOO underrated, just like he is. Love his music!!
Where can i listen the song..theres no on spotify an apple m
@@naufalhanif5263 It's not released yet so I recommend SoundCloud he has it posted there
It's not even released yet. It's such a beautiful song
Crazy underrated, been a fan for a long time and surprised not that many people know about it
@@naufalhanif5263it is now after so long
This was way too short! We needed Getaway, Slow Down, Something to Feel!
This was great tho, don’t get me wrong.
omg yes, you picked the perfect songs 😍 now I really wish he had sung them haha
I second Something to Feel!
yesss those are my favs!
true 😔
Get away is the freaking one!!!
By far the most underrated tiny desk of all time he kills easy
Been waiting on this one and he killed it!
Ive been waiting for this too bro!!
Saaaaaame. Would’ve been astronomical if he had a band backing him
Been waiting for too longgg!! 😭
Same here! Now all we need to do is just wait until we see him on the real tiny desk.
MAC AYRES NEED TO HAVE AN IN PERSON TINY DESK PLEASE!!!! IT’S ABOUT TIME!!!
Stay underrated. It’s something special about an underdog.
Yup agreed 💖, im pretty selfish when it comes to incredible music like this and i don't want cornballs to discover this kind of music.
I'm saying.
I’m such a huge Mac fan!! My 5 year old is autistic and has been non verbal most of his life and one day out of nowhere, started singing the chorus of “Shadows!” 💕
The second verse on She Won’t Stay Long. 😭 release it release it release it release it PLEASE. Please!!!
Love how he's basically smiling the whole time. Looks like he genuinely enjoys playing his music.
Good to see he socially distanced himself...
I find it insane I saw him performing Easy in front of 10 people in a small Brooklyn cafe to now having his own Tiny Desk @ Home. So proud brother
Man, I remember when I first stumbled upon one of his songs on SoundCloud and I was HOOKED. Few years later, HES ON NPR!!!!!! Mac, you are an ICON.
To be fair that drive slow cover is pretty nice
the person at npr who books these needs a raise ASAP
Mac fasho inspired by Stevie!! Got it all over this performance!
D'Angelo too
@@ofirbenezra8735 voice of timberlake
Good ear! Stevie is his favorite artist!
The transition in his song Roses is from a stevie song!
Never thought about that but now I hear it
Every Mac Ayres performance leaves me really teary eyed without knowing why.
second verse to she won’t stay long???? yessir
pls bring him back in the studio this time 🙏🏼
We want more!!!
We want more!!!
We want more!!!
3 years later and this will always be a classic set up.
For the love of Mac, bring this guy back in the actual desk!!!
NPR ROUND 2 PLEASE! this 2024!!!!!!!!
🔥🔥🔥🔥
woah u listen to mac ayres wut

@@totiry5352 Can you not see Trevor attempting to sing these songs in his car? Cause I can lol
I've been following mac since 2017, and finally got the chance to see him earlier this year in Nashville. It was an absolutely magical experience! Even got my cuts heal in time shirt signed!

Like a ray of sunshine! This is what we need!
3 years later STILL waiting for the in person concert
I needed this 🙌🏾 i was hoping he performed jumping off the moon
Jumping off the moon is easily one of his top 3 songs!
on God lol everything about it is perfect
Same!
I was hoping for get to you again
@@xar_s i think it's my favorite from him !
Man I swear my kid put me on to his music and this explain my feelings sometimes! Been listening to him since 2019!
It’s my birthday, I’m so glad I woke up to a tiny desk with my favorite artist
He’s in the Top 5 tiny desk concerts
Happy birthday!
bro is so mfing talented ITS CRAZY
WOW. Even better than the studio recordings!!! Amazing
My girlfriend and I had the privilege of meeting Mac in Chicago last year. Mans is the most down to earth, chill dude around, not to mention an amazing artist! Keep it up man, solid set!!
One of the best in the game! My boy Mac never disappoints.
Bring him backkkkkk
OPENING WITH SHE WONT STAY LONG!? Thank you Mac!!
"Walking Home" possibly my favorite track by Mac Ayers. I feel so fortunate to have found his music at my lowest, it has helped me get past a lot of things holding me back. Thanks for sharing such tremendous talent it has helped my healing
This is so fire, I just wish the band was with him! Chris and Declan would’ve DESTROYED this smh
10000%
mac deserves to show his stage presence to the world at NPR
FINALLYYYYYY, ABOUT TIME HE GETS THE RECOGNITION HE DESERVES!!!!!!!
Dec 5th 2020, 2:29 PM, still sleeping on the floor and didn't know Mac was Mac but so happy Mac is on the Tiny Desk, views at 75,234.
Time and time again this man proves why he’s my favorite artist. Blessed to be alive to witness his greatness firsthand. Can’t wait to see what you do next. Thanks Mac
Please bring him in for the whole experience!
The live NPR. He needs one!
Mac Ayres is the best!!!!
Can we just talk about how he managed to harmonize his songs without additional help🔥🔥🔥T A L E N T E D
This man's music is the physical manifestation of relaxation
Am I the only one that thinks he should make a Christmas album?😂
Literally exactly what I was thinking! His voice is perfect for Christmas it would grow him so much!
It could totally be labeled as Christmas music ASMR too
wait that's actually such a good idea
HE SHOULD! His voice and harmonies are smooth like butta!
I want one too :) !
Bring Back Mac! ❤
NPR Tiny Desk is 2020's bounce back personified.
sometimes is AMAZING
now THIS is how you do a tiny desk at home
BRING HIM BACKKKKKK ON
Honestly. This wasn’t enough. I need a full album performance. Thanx.

YES THREE MACS
When you start singing 'walking home', I just fall for you
Mac could really sing me to sleep 🥲 I wish this was so much longer.
Mac does it everytime.
It was inevitable. Go Mac, GOOOO 💥🚀 ✨
Had to get a cigar💨, whiskey🥃 and speaker🎵🎶.... Perfect wind down to and rainy day 🌧️!!!
The most underrated artist ever, hope he someday gets the recognition that he deserves. Till that day, I'll be here singing with him every tune, go maccccc
Watching this for the 15th time..... Still just as good. That 1st tune...... Wish it was on Spotify...

Mac is CRIMINALLY underrated, such a talented dude.
