Mac DeMarco:

Me:

Lyrics:
boy, this could be your year
make an old man proud of you
forget about the tears

on the level
see me eye-to-eye
stand up like a man
even from the underside
on the level

man, I never had a choice
never had a chance
never had a voice

on the level
carrying a name
fall until my final day
now who's there left to blame?
on the level

This song is a heatwave in July, when everything is sweltering slow motion and it's too hot to do anything but lay around inside and melt into the couch with your friends.

This song has such an otherworldly quality to it.  Ethereal, mesmerizing, makes me feel like I'm in another time and place.

Imagine flying around the whole GTA map trying to find signals to unlock the radio stations when you could just flip to Kult FM and wait for this song to come on

I can't get enough of the jazz fusion in this song. It's like a cool wave of ocean water washing over you, you can almost feel it.
