The track also has wistful lyrics and vocals. The third track, “Brother,” features two layered guitar riffs that compliment each other nicely. “Blue Boy” is also enjoyable to me because of the complex reverberated guitar riff throughout the song, that is a new sound for Mac. Demarco sings about nostalgia and getting old, lamenting that the “salad days are gone.” I enjoy this song because of its carefree feel and somewhat joyful tune.
The opening track, “Salad Days,” starts off somewhat jarringly with a quick snare fill into the song on an off beat. His third album “Salad Days” is one of my favorite records of all time, but this is a controversial opinion since some critics disagree. His sound is incredibly unique and conveys a very chill vibe. Mac Demarco is the king of the indie scene at the moment.
