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.
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
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
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.
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..
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
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.
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
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
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)
this song reminds me of my relationship with my grandfather. he died when i was young, and i never got to experience a grandfather (my other grandpa was not close to us and died shortly after him). I always felt resentful in a way, not just towards him, but towards life. I never got to experience the happy and memorable childhood my older siblings got, as so many things were no more and so many things changed for the worse when i came around, and i always felt lonely and bitter. When they’d tell the stories of their childhood, it would make me feel absolutely miserable. As i got older, i realized that its no ones fault, i just got dealt a bad deck. i still havent reached the point of peace and acceptance over everything, and im still not sure how to feel. but i know my grandfather loved me and wished to be here, and i know that i can always make more memories now. it’s just that id love to look back on my childhood and have something to smile on, instead of something that is just forgettable and overall kind of pathetic.
[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
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.
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.
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.
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.
I love these sounds because they represent all the noise in my head due to my depression. I have diagnosed PTSD and Anxiety from my service in the Colombian Marines and then the US Marines. I've done so much and seen so much. But these screams and noises, they never go away. And hearing them in this song calm me for some reason.
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
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...
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.)
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 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 🙌
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.
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…
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 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.
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 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.
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.
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.)
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.
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.
It’s also about the extremely complex relationship he held with his father, and how ever since he fell ill he felt conflicted when it came to how to feel. “I’d say see you later if I thought I’d see you later” “Easy conversations ain’t exactly where we’re at” “So strange deciding how I feel about you”
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
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.
Guys my crush was placed into my class this year, and I didnt get to speak a single word to her. Know that “sorry no” will always hurt less than regret.
My brother passed away 6 months ago and this was the song that played in my mind when I got the phone call, I’m not sure if its dumb but it reminds me of him so much because when we were younger we were so close then grew apart but I regret it. I regret growing apart so much I miss him and I wish I was able to tell him that
i can remember as one of my class mates sent a long messaged about how she was going to be homeschooled this was the first song i listened to and now when ever i think of her this song plays in my head and it nevers gets old so hopefully we will meet again in the future
my first love was in 5th grade. i fell in love with this boy who liked another girl. i listened to songs that reminded me him, but it was all kept a secret. after a while he told me liked me back but didn’t say a word. he even told his friends about me :) i didn’t want one of those old weird relationships, i wanted him and to hold him. we didn’t talk for over a year, and now we’re in the same school again. now we act as if nothing happened, he’s in a relationship with the prettiest girl. ive supported him all along, and now ive finally got over him. :/
we were sleeping over at our friends house for her 18th birthday, having reunited after almost 6 years of not seeing each other, everyone fell asleep and we both went downstairs to get a snack, we started talking and ended up being downstairs from 12:40 until 7am, she was standing there leaning against the hallway wall, with her head slightly tilted and looking deeply into my eyes as I was talking and I literally lost the ability to speak, so I just stood there and stared back, we didn't do anything that night, we were so close and we knew how we both felt about each other but it's impossible, with the distance we live from each other it could never work but man has noone ever made me feel the way she did, I'll never forget the way she looked at me and the beautiful shine in her eyes.
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.

You're right, it's a great song
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
i love the way the synths project such hatred once the chorus starts
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
Yeah, it's just a tad bit annoying waking up in the middle of the night when this song autoplays and that part's screaming in your ears lol
what are those noises from
@@hah6360 To me, it sounds like distorted laughs and guitar chords but it might be something else.

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)

[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

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…
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.
That one soul crushing feeling reminding you we are all mortals when you hear that your friend slit their wrist.
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.
everyone loves the end part of the music, but no one talks on how perfect and chilling is the beggining guitar part
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 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.
i come back to visit this every time i miss my friend, i know ur up there watching over me 💜
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.
When it comes to the last 7 minutes and 3 seconds of my life, this song will be playing.
HELP I LITERALLY DID NOT REALIZE IT WAS ALMOST 8 MINUTES??? IT FEELS SM SHORTER
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
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.
oh my god...
this song really made me cry about something that happened years ago and i really needed the cry thank you so much for it
Bro I like .....cried cried to this tf ouch
Feel ya
HA LOSERRRRRR
me too. 😂😔
You can't break what's already broken

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 loved a girl who loved mac demarco just as i did. Shes gone now. Listening to him the same way now is hard.
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.
Y’all halo reach is sick
The feeling this song gives me is indescribable
“i’ll talk to you later babe, night.”
never gonna forget those words. 😭😭
what happened?
No one cares
@@LucyKnight82 cry about it
@@dio9799bro tell us pls what happened 😊
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.
Do you guys not know this song (and this album tbh) is about his dad passing? Not everything is about romance…
It’s also about the extremely complex relationship he held with his father, and how ever since he fell ill he felt conflicted when it came to how to feel.
“I’d say see you later if I thought I’d see you later”
“Easy conversations ain’t exactly where we’re at”
“So strange deciding how I feel about you”
Obra de arte meus amigos, apreciem!!!
I miss her so much just wish she’d come back
its like I cant get her back because it wont ever be the same
@ not even man she’s gone and I don’t know how’s to talk to people so I don’t even go outside anymore besides work
heaven 👁✨👁
i love this song its so sad but it gives me hope too its a weird feeling but i like it :)
At least it gives u hope cuz me it’s just giving me sadness and nostalgia going through my head.
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
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.
Rest in Peace Akira Toriyama san the story of Dragon Ball will live on forever ❤️🕊️

I love the noises at the end so much dude
Guys my crush was placed into my class this year, and I didnt get to speak a single word to her.
Know that “sorry no” will always hurt less than regret.
felt that man
This gives off the sensation of fighting back your eyes from falling into a deep sleep one last time, but finally letting go.
im gonna die this is perfection
never thought i would show my [[true emotions]] to a song rather than ppl i truly trust.
I hate being around people
Me too
Same girl same.
Real asf bro could never find a comment more reletable
Starting now.
social anxiety real
All the nights we spent crying, laughing, angry, going through everyday together. Those days are gone now…
Your channel is so underrated
I used to listen this song with sadness in the past, but now it hits different in a peaceful, optmistic way, it's beautiful
Idk who's idea the ending was but i love it
Moonlight on the river✨❣️
this song reminds me of my nan whos dying of cancer at the moment
Damn bro hope all is good
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.
My brother passed away 6 months ago and this was the song that played in my mind when I got the phone call, I’m not sure if its dumb but it reminds me of him so much because when we were younger we were so close then grew apart but I regret it. I regret growing apart so much I miss him and I wish I was able to tell him that
God bless you and your brother ❤
Our time has passed john...
i can remember as one of my class mates sent a long messaged about how she was going to be homeschooled this was the first song i listened to and now when ever i think of her this song plays in my head and it nevers gets old so hopefully we will meet again in the future
my first love was in 5th grade. i fell in love with this boy who liked another girl. i listened to songs that reminded me him, but it was all kept a secret. after a while he told me liked me back but didn’t say a word. he even told his friends about me :) i didn’t want one of those old weird relationships, i wanted him and to hold him. we didn’t talk for over a year, and now we’re in the same school again. now we act as if nothing happened, he’s in a relationship with the prettiest girl. ive supported him all along, and now ive finally got over him. :/

womp womp too bad so sad
we were sleeping over at our friends house for her 18th birthday, having reunited after almost 6 years of not seeing each other, everyone fell asleep and we both went downstairs to get a snack, we started talking and ended up being downstairs from 12:40 until 7am, she was standing there leaning against the hallway wall, with her head slightly tilted and looking deeply into my eyes as I was talking and I literally lost the ability to speak, so I just stood there and stared back, we didn't do anything that night, we were so close and we knew how we both felt about each other but it's impossible, with the distance we live from each other it could never work but man has noone ever made me feel the way she did, I'll never forget the way she looked at me and the beautiful shine in her eyes.
took cid w this song playing with one of my bestfriends this song will forever be remembered
Whoever you are, thank you.
I miss my grandpa 🖤♓ since my grandfather passed away nothing was the same.
