How fucking cool. That little diddy Mac plays from 0:25 - 0:40 is "To Zanarkand" from Final Fanstasy X. I mean how fucking cool. You just know he was like any one of us, captivated by the world he found himself playing in and loved it so much he had to learn, what essentially is, the theme song to the game. Fucking love Mac
Loud ambiance, screaming kids, sirens, interruptions, and STILL one of the best Take Aways I've seen. It works with the looseness of Mac's style, and it speaks to the purity of what Take Away Shows truly are. Thank you for the honest art.
Part of his charm and what makes Mac unique is his approachable, unpretentious, easygoing demeanor as an artist. Unfortunately, that is not a common thing nowadays
whys everything gotta be bleak and unfortunate. There's plenty of approachable artists, maybe not at the top. I'd say, *fortunately* , despite his popularity he stays approachable and easygoing!
Being recorded Talking No guitar strap Walking around in public And still Nailing guitar And singing beautifully What kind of mythical creature is this?
oh thank god y'all are my people i swear. anytime ive gotten the urge tl listen to this song i always play this version . this old dog is my favorite Mac album but this version slays. im so glad im not the only one 😂
@@katz2620 the Ronaldo kid first kind of asks what's going on/ what Mac's doing, after Mac stops singing Mac tries to explain that his french isn't that good and the kid says that it's no problem as far as I understood it. I'm not french but I'm still working on it, it's a hard language imo.
Do you happen to recognize the song the second man was singing, or where I can find more music like that? I find french very relaxing and I wish I knew where I could find more.
For a Mac DeMarco and Final Fantasy fan from Liverpool, the first minute is about as good as it gets. It's amazing when you find a shared interest with someone you respect/admire beyond what it is you initially admired them for. What a guy.
I feel Mac is so over joyed and has that goofball thing about until he sings "the never meant to sing my tune for everyone else out there but you" the whole aura turns from very goofy to melancholy. You can see in his face too. He's feeling something when that line hits and afterward
I deployed to the Mediterranean Sea in 2022. I bought TH-cam premium and downloaded this video. Any time I wanted to escape my surroundings I would play this and it was amazing every time. Thank you Mac 🙏🏽
I remember watching this everyday 5 years ago while I was going through my first breakup. Crazy how life is so different now yet I still keep coming back here. Thank you Mac.
totally agree. consistent with the ambient noises. or maybe you just shoot long enough, that you naturally capture moments that align so well. or...maybe im looking too much into sirens ahaha. good morning.
I preordered the This Old Dog CD and I remember putting it in my car immediately and heading to my boyfriend’s house when we first started dating. It was an hour drive so I got through the whole album on the way. Reminds me of that time in my life. My boyfriend passed away in September, so now it’s a bittersweet listen, but I love it as much as I did the first time I heard it. Thank you Mac for the solid tunes.
I still come back every once in a while to check this video out. I love the part where he gets a little emotional. I felt that. I’ve been there. Very cool.
Wow.. anyone else notice at 5:51 "as long as my hearts beating in my chest" the basketball starts thumping and then at 6:36 "as long as i live" the ambulance passes by..?
This video is magical. Mac encounters a young miscreant who sings along to his first tune, and then, by an act of some metaphysical being he transports forward in time 50 years and meets the same man again who again sings along to his second tune.
Dude I’m going thru a whole ducking lot rn. And I’ve been listening to this video on repeat for the past month. It’s legit that and music in general that have been getting me thru this.
Y'know what, me too and this video keeps coming back and I think it's a beautiful piece of art. I hope things start looking a bit better for you soon my friend!
Right there with you. Been the first thing I put on when I get home from work every day for the last couple weeks. Much kindness and good vibes your way for whatever it is you’re going through 🙏
Little does that random kid at 4:19 know that more then 2 million people have watched him awkwardly stand there and mumble something in french. The largest stadium in the world seats only around 114,000 people. Imagine that kid in the middle of a stadium that is 20 times as big.
This video. I listen to it in the morning. Before I go to bed. It’s the vibe. The sirene. The sound of children playing. The two testosterones walking by. And Mac just wandering around. With his voice and mesmerizing eyes, miauw.
nah mate. as a french person you see a lot of people like this and they're not really into this kind of stuff. I like to hang out with them every now and then, playing guitar drinking beers. most of the time they're nice people, hanging out with their dogs. they're kind of loud so that's why most people don't like them.
Mac, I found you completely by accident years ago on TH-cam and you've been a hidden treasure for me. I honestly thought you were gonna be some dope white rapper with some song called 'Salad Days'. Years later, and I still don't know what it is about you.., your voice, your guitar, cadence, personality etc. but there's something that makes a hardcore hip-hop, trap, reggae, soca music fan take a few moments out of every month and just listen to a few of your tracks. The way you just deliver anything and everything just makes me think you're truly a blessed being. Your musical soul is as if you've lived multiple lives and have awoke now to give us timeless ballads intertwined with a little wisdom here and there. Very few artists can breach a wall of having me feeling so transcendent. I get heavy nostalgia and also a nice refresh on where I am at the moment. Listening to you makes me realize a mental present-ness in a chaotic life. You help me realize the time, people and things I take for granted and also what I should be holding near and dear. Hope this message finds you well. Just wanted to say thanks!
i dont really listen to indie,i know some of em,but i swear mac is really one of the best in our gen,dude is unique,him & his music,his albums make me feel like im in mars sometime,with a fat ass joint in my hand. papa bless!
(Lyrics) I never meant to make her cry And now I'm seeing tears in her eyes Half and half, make believe 'Cause so she thought, well my heart was on my sleeve Honey, I cried too You better believe it Honey, my heart still beats for you Even though you don't feel it Beating Never thought some silly songs could ever go and hurt someone I never meant to sing my tune for anybody else out there but you Honey, I cried too You better believe it Honey, my heart still beats for you Even though you don't feel it Honey, I cried too You better believe it Honey, my heart still beats for you Even though you don't feel it Beating
Why nobody is talking about how incredible is the fact that Mac met two people each end of the song? First that french boy and after that guy in 7:00, I think this video is a piece of art
Sometimes you ask to yourself a lot of questions and you have a lot of doubt about your life, you don't understand the world where you live.. And this video is that exactly what you need.
This is so soul-soothing, thank you Mac and La Blogotheque for a beautiful and natural presentation. I found this at the right moment and my wounds are already healing.
Five minutes of Mac just going “hehehehe”, this man is whole heartedly talented, this sounds like one of those edits that go “this old dog but at a park” y’all know what I mean?

What kind of mics were used for this?
he's like a bard
Imagine going for a walk in the local park and Mac DeMarco floats by you with an acoustic guitar and some red socks playing a chill song.
I’d ask to be his new guitar player on tour
I’d ask him to smoke with me
elo gomez mackie doesn’t smoke
@@mattmiller1472 cigarettes he does
Alex Wu tru
I've never met him but he feels like a very nice homeless friend
Lololol
I met him and he is a very nice homeless friend. jk but he is a very wonderful person
i actually did and he really is
The good news is he's rich
lol i met him after one of his shows, he was just leaning on a wall outside the venue smoking cigs chatting with people, super genuine nice guy.
I like the sound of the children playing in the background
Gives it atmosphere
A T M O S B E E R
Atmosphere is a great hip hop band
the ambience is immaculate
got some kids in the bushes
Oh yea
Listen to "to the moon and beyond" its like that
Am I the only one impressed by the fact that he can stand up and walk around while playing his guitar WITHOUT A STRAP?
these nylon acoustics has a light weight
@@laguna2869 that doesnt really make it any easier
HE HAS A MAKESHIFT STRAP WITH THE BLUE SWEATER AROUND HIS NECK.
Wow I didn’t even notice he didn’t have a strap
Pretty easy if he's not doing bar chords but even if he is it's not that tough at all
How fucking cool. That little diddy Mac plays from 0:25 - 0:40 is "To Zanarkand" from Final Fanstasy X. I mean how fucking cool. You just know he was like any one of us, captivated by the world he found himself playing in and loved it so much he had to learn, what essentially is, the theme song to the game. Fucking love Mac
Was wondering what melody that was, thanks! I kept thinking it's "Kiss From a Rose" lol.
I’ve never played the game but just can’t get that melody out of my head
I love you dude, tnx for sharing where tf this is from, I'll play this shit over and over again
@@bruce_sings It's a good game, and a great melody! A couple other songs on the soundtrack are pretty good too.
Final fantasy x❤

Wow, thank you
Ha, gaaaaaayyy
Indeed, those are the right ingredients of Take Away Shows my friend...
the imperfect perfection
Turtle Vision Films made it sound even better actually.
still beating + this old dog = still beating this old dog. mac demarco comes clean about his animal abuse
I can see clearly now
still beating off this old dog
Better than "still beating my old man" I guess lol
dash jones the track listing is still beater sister
Oooor his masturbation addiction?
he should make an album of him playing his songs walking through a park with all the noises and stuff. That would be amazing
simon smith hell yeah!!
i believe you have gotten something close now
Part of his charm and what makes Mac unique is his approachable, unpretentious, easygoing demeanor as an artist. Unfortunately, that is not a common thing nowadays
Well said!
Major jack Johnson vibes
whys everything gotta be bleak and unfortunate. There's plenty of approachable artists, maybe not at the top. I'd say, *fortunately* , despite his popularity he stays approachable and easygoing!
@@goodvibes4891 right. why come here, to a video you like, to complain about things that aren't the video
at first glance I read "Mac DeMarco - Still beating his old dog" I was like damn Mac wtf bro
look man we all gotta do it
Willpower a man has needs
Lol, this comment.
PLSSS
Being recorded
Talking
No guitar strap
Walking around in public
And still
Nailing guitar
And singing beautifully
What kind of mythical creature is this?
AND hes hysterical!
years of experience singing in public
FACTS
Is not that difficult :/
A CANehDIAN
is Mac just a collective imaginary friend willed into reality through every good vibe that flows through us? 0_o
Cullen Cochran No but i think he's just that cool
He's just your average British Columbian my man. Peace from Langley Township, BC; CNDA
@Charles Lee Ray You need to try a tiny bit more for your sentence to make sense.
@Charles Lee Ray And you clearly don't try enough, lol.
Prolly not bud
That opening rendition of 'FFX - To Zanarkand' lives rent free in my head. Simply wonderful
Yo is that what he played right after he tuned up or was that while he was actually walking into the park?
Holy shit I just now realized it was to zanarkand fuck that’s good
Holy fuck thank you so much, I've been trynna figure out what song that is for like 3 years
You should check out John Oeth on here and on TH-cam. He does classical covers of all the final fantasies and they are 10/10
Dude i didn't recognize it until the last line, but then immediately came to comments to see if i was right. Beautiful song on classical guitar
dude this version of Still Beating is out of this world
Yes. This.
Better than the recorded version
I felt exactly the same. The recorded version is nowhere near close
Yes, Jesus fucking Christ
oh thank god y'all are my people i swear. anytime ive gotten the urge tl listen to this song i always play this version . this old dog is my favorite Mac album but this version slays. im so glad im not the only one 😂
@@askhetan yes bro 100% agree
I'm french and his interactions and giggles warm my heart so much. This is so peaceful, such a Mac thing.
Hey, I'm from Argentina, and I dont understand what words in French are he saying, can you tell me?
@@katz2620 the Ronaldo kid first kind of asks what's going on/ what Mac's doing, after Mac stops singing Mac tries to explain that his french isn't that good and the kid says that it's no problem as far as I understood it. I'm not french but I'm still working on it, it's a hard language imo.
@@zeger3122 thank you!!!!
Do you happen to recognize the song the second man was singing, or where I can find more music like that? I find french very relaxing and I wish I knew where I could find more.
@@zeger3122 ronaldo kid lmfaooo
"Got some kids in the bushes, oh yeah"
did he really meant that other thing?
HAHAHAHA
xD
He was probably happy to see nigga having a childhood
He protec
He attac
But most of all he notice them kids in the bushes.
Mac has the rare talent of making you feel like he has been a friend that you've had for a long time.
I want a whole cover of "There She Goes" by Mac DeMarco now
Mac should release a full album of covers.
I'd love it.
Still Beating is the cover lol
I saw him live 2 weeks ago in some little town on the Navajo Reservation. He played There She Goes. It was glorious
Like how RATM has "Renegades." It'd be really cools to see him do like his own "inspiered by" cover album.
1:13 "got some kids in the bushes"
Yeah, Mac. They're hiding from the homeless man playing guitar
that's brutal lol
“See some kids in the bushes” *deep breathe* “oh yeah”
This is such a Mac thing to do
This is nice.
What, performing a Take Away Show for La Blogotheque? Yeah, so Mac! He's so goofy haha!
Kevin this comment has no context and doesn't make sense, but enjoy your thumbs up, bruh.
And a Take Away Show

hahaha most chaotic gig ever
The studio version of This Old Dog made me cry already, but this version... oh man.... it makes my eyes sweat even harder
Those kids clearly do not know how lucky they were to be in the presence of this absolute gentleman
They're kids
the sound of children playing in the distant background makes this so surreal and beautiful
this is probably my most favorite video on youtube. ive been coming back to this video like every week since it was uploaded
its so sweet and innocent, its really beautiful
damn you still here?
Those sirens hitting at the right moment. real cool.
somehow this happens often in la blogotheque. i'm thinking Ought and on St.Vincent & Andrew Bird
And in Ought it was in the tone of the tune. Pretty rad! Nice you remembered this detail.
totally agree. consistent with the ambient noises. or maybe you just shoot long enough, that you naturally capture moments that align so well. or...maybe im looking too much into sirens ahaha. good morning.
Hahaha, good morning man
Makes me think of throbbing gristle.
Best cover of Wonderwall I've heard.
lmao
Best comment ever
🤣
This video is so warm, the kids playing in the background, Mac on his neon string guitar and the ambience. It's so heart warming, love it!
ive watched this a trillion times and it still gets better and better
That means you have been listening to this 15,343,447.734018 years. Wow thats impressive.
The man coming in to sing at the end was truly beautiful. Even if he was drunk, the power of mac's music is compelling to the bottom of the bottle.
I dig how Mac looks at the camera like in an episode of The Office at 4:11 after the kid with the Cristiano Ronaldo haircut says "yeaah yeaah" lol
HAHAHAHA David Brent-ish

Sorry to hear about your loss. I hope Mac brings you some kind of solace . Hugs from the UK X
I still come back every once in a while to check this video out. I love the part where he gets a little emotional. I felt that. I’ve been there. Very cool.
its a beautiful video to come back to
“honey my heart still beats for you even tho you don’t feel it” that hits rights as he looks over the people at the park goes hard fr 2:20
This guy's the cheeriest happy go lucky guy to write the most heartfelt melancholic songs
I need a full cover of Mac singing "There she goes"
He tried haha
Those few seconds were bliss haha!
Go to one of his gigs - they have been covering it.
TO ZANARKAND, OH I LOVE YOU PAPA MAC
best underestimated comment ever
Omg I noticed it right away. Amazing.
Ff10?
Is that the song in the beginning? I knew it sounded like something from final fantasy
I thought the same and instantly recognized it😁
Wow.. anyone else notice at 5:51 "as long as my hearts beating in my chest" the basketball starts thumping and then at 6:36 "as long as i live" the ambulance passes by..?
Stefan Martin well spotted
Stefan Martin bc macs music is magic
sometimes the universe aligns itself
Maybe edited? Or on purpose, from the camera guy's geniusness to focus to those sounds
Stefan Martin I hope he sees this
This video is magical.
Mac encounters a young miscreant who sings along to his first tune, and then, by an act of some metaphysical being he transports forward in time 50 years and meets the same man again who again sings along to his second tune.
i love how you explain his interaction with the people he encouter. You have a natural way of making up beautiful stories which are remarkable
@@aureliekashemwa thank you :)
I never noticed just how good he is with the guitar. He is clean with it, beautiful chords and dynamic strumming pattern.
Dude I’m going thru a whole ducking lot rn. And I’ve been listening to this video on repeat for the past month. It’s legit that and music in general that have been getting me thru this.
Y'know what, me too and this video keeps coming back and I think it's a beautiful piece of art. I hope things start looking a bit better for you soon my friend!
Right there with you. Been the first thing I put on when I get home from work every day for the last couple weeks. Much kindness and good vibes your way for whatever it is you’re going through 🙏
The entire vibe right here is why I started playing guitar...just strolling around with nothing to prove, purely for enjoyment and contentment
Little does that random kid at 4:19 know that more then 2 million people have watched him awkwardly stand there and mumble something in french. The largest stadium in the world seats only around 114,000 people. Imagine that kid in the middle of a stadium that is 20 times as big.
he is high af aswell
Yehh-ii-yehhh
And that is why the internet can be a beautiful thing.
2m views doesn't mean 2m people watching, but ok carry on
0:41 "Join me.......in the dog park" killed me 😂
2:37 POV: mac demarco is luring you into his backyard to drink warm beer and stare at clouds
this version of still beating is my favorite
the fact he played "Welcome to Zanarkand" to tune his guitar!
I’ve been looking for this comment for awhile
just about to comment about this lol
yoooooooo
Thank you for this comment, I knew I had heard that somewhere but couldn't remember where from.
It’s just “To zanarkand”
The backround noise makes this video 100x better
This video. I listen to it in the morning. Before I go to bed. It’s the vibe. The sirene. The sound of children playing. The two testosterones walking by. And Mac just wandering around. With his voice and mesmerizing eyes, miauw.
you need to bring mac on again this is beyond therapeutic
👀
The teasing is insane 😢@blogotheque
mac is your friends cool dad who catches you smoking weed but acts like he didnt see anything
Malfunctioning Goon Mac is your dads friend who sells you weed and smokes you out but doesn’t tell anyone
c'mon he's 28 don't make me feel old
He’s not even 30 lol
ON GOD
Malfunctioning Goon oh god don’t make us feel ancient I’m 29
4:11 -> That face is priceless! "Oh poor boy"
I still can't believe how drunk that guy was at the end
And it was barely 2pm. That's when his late 11am breakfast cereals kick in.
Parisian way of life
ED NESS nah homeless way of life
drunk? I think heroin is the word you're looking for
nah mate. as a french person you see a lot of people like this and they're not really into this kind of stuff.

I love that guy that sings at the end, the phonetics of french and the melody he chooses to sing melts beautifuly with what Mac's singing.
I am here yet again, but this time around the Christmas time. I love this video man.
he is so casual and extremely cool at the same time
awesome. you guys do a great job at capturing the artist along with the space. shout out to the recordists and folks on post.
Merci !

Beautiful, art, majestic, exceptional, yes I'm all for it
Mac playing a nylon is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard 😄
i rewatch this video every once in a while because it's really comforting
(Lyrics)
I never meant to make her cry
And now I'm seeing tears in her eyes
Half and half, make believe
'Cause so she thought, well my heart was on my sleeve
Honey, I cried too
You better believe it
Honey, my heart still beats for you
Even though you don't feel it
Beating
Never thought some silly songs could ever go and hurt someone
I never meant to sing my tune for anybody else out there but you
Honey, I cried too
You better believe it
Honey, my heart still beats for you
Even though you don't feel it
Honey, I cried too
You better believe it
Honey, my heart still beats for you
Even though you don't feel it
Beating
0:19 😭💖sounds so beautiful
Final Fantasy X - To Zanarkand.
s i r s a n t o s final fantasy X !!!
His voice soothes me into such a calm state
How can this already be SIX YEARS AGO
this video lives rent free in my mind
Why nobody is talking about how incredible is the fact that Mac met two people each end of the song? First that french boy and after that guy in 7:00, I think this video is a piece of art
this version is so much better than the original
Me too
Just lying in bed little burned out from work, thank you for singing down to me here :)
what an incredible premise to this series.. literally some of the greatest musicians in the world, casually walking past you on a busy street corner.
This is one of my favourite music videos on TH-cam. I come back here happily every once in a while
Beautiful.. Thank you for giving us a piece of you Mac
This is probably my favourite video on youtube
This video will always be a classic...
this has to be one of the most beautiful videos ever made
so beautiful with that playground background noise and chirping birds
I love the little "To Zanarkand" freestyle at the beginning
Just watched him on frenemies and I’m so happy I just looked him up. This is my new favorite song and I’d trust him with my drink at a bar
Still breathing is my new favorite song *
that emergency vehicle did a nice cover of on the level too
Bert Stanton brilliant! Haha
lmaoooooo
Eating breakfast at 03:15 am to this song. His interactions with the people and his subsequent giggle-tongue makes me smile
Sometimes you ask to yourself a lot of questions and you have a lot of doubt about your life, you don't understand the world where you live.. And this video is that exactly what you need.
He's such a goofball, but I'm still crying at This Old Dog.
Such a great tune. It'll always stay with me.
I love how he waddles a bit when he walks it’s kinda wholesome in a way
Come on..
Over here..
:)
"Honey my heart still beats for you, even though you don't feel it"
Mac is the purest musician we got in these times. Most definitely gonna play him for my kids one day.
I love how someone can simultaneously have me convinced he is one of the weirdest dudes in music and also one of the coolest
This is so soul-soothing, thank you Mac and La Blogotheque for a beautiful and natural presentation. I found this at the right moment and my wounds are already healing.
Five minutes of Mac just going “hehehehe”, this man is whole heartedly talented, this sounds like one of those edits that go “this old dog but at a park” y’all know what I mean?
mac is love
This is probably my favorite video on the internet
