#Mac demarco this old dog guitar tab mac
To my surprise, Mac sits perfectly over this type of instrumental. Next “Sister”, one of the shorter tracks on the album, led only by a cavernous, slow, melancholy guitar line, sees Mac reminiscing about his sister.Ī personal favorite, “Dreams of Yesterday” sonically, sounds straight out a sixties bossa-nova lounge, lowkey, spacious, yet very intimate in delivery. The melancholy lyrics contrasted with the more mellow syrupy instrumental create an interesting dynamic that we see Mac visit consistently on this album. Mac speaks on a lost love who he thinks he is better off without.īut, as soon as the album begins to sound mundane, “Still Beating”, treats us to beautiful guitar melodies that glide in and out of each other, as Mac sings about how he to, like his significant other, cries when he is troubled by their relationship. One of the less interesting tracks, “One Another” sees the return of sonic's similar the the first two tracks, a guitar driven melody with some stabs of synths here and there to add texture. Singing on the hook,“It's just like seeing her.for the first time.again”. Mac sings about his significant other that he has been together with for some time, who he sees in a different perspective now. A highlight of the track is how the synths, seem to glide through the track like waves of water. Onto the first synth heavy track on the LP, “For The First Time”, sees Mac very confident in experimenting in new sonic territory.
Mac tells us to not worry about all the negatives in your current situation, things will always turn around given time. Baby You’re Out is mainly guitar driven, with pops of synth chords that glide over the drum and bass. Next we are greeted by a track more reminiscent of his most recent project “Another One”.
The song structure is very similar to the first track. “This Old Dog”, another acoustic guitar driven track, aided with live drums and bass, finds Mac singing about his times together with that special someone, the good and bad. We find Mac reflecting on the past, contrasting himself to his dad, saying things like,“Uh Oh, looks like, I'm seeing my old man in me…” The warm acoustic guitar driven track complimented by subtle synths that come in on the hook, embraces the listener for the smooth ride.
Mac starts us off with “My Old Man”, opening the album with drum machine loop, signaling a new stylistic approach to music than his former works. This is a very slow album and that’s not a bad thing.
