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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
4:49. I learned that no one is going to care about you more than yourself, stop relying on others to make yourself happy. It doesn't matter anymore, just be glad that you're able to make a choice today other than the hundreds of people that lost their lives today. Good luck, God Bless you all.
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 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.
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..
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
She's getting worked in rn and doesn't care in the least. Let it go bro. Don't fall for it next time. They can all turn off emotion like a switch. Enjoy the time you get with them but don't let yourself get too attached to the fictional lovestory in your head. (Been there.)
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.
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 always makes me feel anxious every time I listen to it and I can't sleep after that and I start thinking. The rhythm of this song is awesome bro. Imagine listening to a certain song And it gives it that special feeling for that song. And the best thing is that that feeling doesn't go away after a while, but stays with you whenever you want to listen to that song. It's amazing that the rhythms of the song are very effective.And the feelings inside you hit hard. Artistic gem.
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.
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 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.
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.
Gym > the girl who you thought loved you Gym > feeling bad for yourself Improving yourself > being the same person all day every day Working out > laying down, depressed The gym will never break your heart like she did.
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.
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 🙌
So much self sacrifice for a just a drop of their time. Didnt know i needed it, too busy trying to be strong for them when i know ill break under pressure that i didnt ask for.
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.
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.
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…
Moonlight on the River is a remarkably composed piece of music, so profound and captivating that it's difficult to comprehend how a single individual could conceive such an extraordinary creation. Every word, every moment resonates as a gift to the listener’s ear. The concluding section intricately weaves two distinct musical themes, merging seamlessly to create a unique auditory experience, almost ethereal in its execution. One might think that Mac DeMarco has thousounds years of musical wisdom to craft something of this caliber. A cautionary note should even be warranted: "WARNING! This song might be addictive!" The sensation is otherworldly; the soundscape feels immersive, as if levitating for the initial four to five minutes before descending into deep introspection. The transition to the eerie laughter and distant screams in the closing segment initially feels unsettling, but with repeated listens, it proves to complement the song’s essence perfectly. This combination elicits a sense of floating, followed by a contemplative descent. Few songs in existence can parallel the majesty of "Moonlight on the River"; perhaps Let It Happen comes close, but few others measure up. Experiencing this song while taking a nighttime walk under the moon’s glow feels like the closest one can get to the sensation of flying. (edit: as much as it sounds like ChatGPT, it is not, I'm a real human being who made it.)
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

[Verse 1]
I'd say, see you later, if I thought I'd see you later

Every word, every moment resonates as a gift to the listener’s ear. The concluding section intricately weaves two distinct musical themes, merging seamlessly to create a unique auditory experience, almost ethereal in its execution. One might think that Mac DeMarco has thousounds years of musical wisdom to craft something of this caliber. A cautionary note should even be warranted: "WARNING! This song might be addictive!" The sensation is otherworldly; the soundscape feels immersive, as if levitating for the initial four to five minutes before descending into deep introspection.
The transition to the eerie laughter and distant screams in the closing segment initially feels unsettling, but with repeated listens, it proves to complement the song’s essence perfectly. This combination elicits a sense of floating, followed by a contemplative descent. Few songs in existence can parallel the majesty of "Moonlight on the River"; perhaps Let It Happen comes close, but few others measure up. Experiencing this song while taking a nighttime walk under the moon’s glow feels like the closest one can get to the sensation of flying. (edit: as much as it sounds like ChatGPT, it is not, I'm a real human being who made it.)
this song sounds like loving someone who u cant have for years and ur writing about them on ur backyard porch before ur death
Take your chances brother, one day we will die and leave nothing but our belongings for strangers to keep some day
This song feels like the ending to a movie or a really good book
"Our time has passed, John."
What is that from

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
Thank you mac man
