In just two minutes, Mac manages to capture the essence of confusion and frustration in the face of overwhelming adversity, questioning everything you’re taught as a kid when it doesn’t prepare you for the hardships of life, all while staying true to the album’s style and formula. “…Mama / I was told that punishment will come to / Those of us who don’t do what we’re made to / But how on earth is anyone to know? / If the lane you travel is your own?” \n--\nHere's an Earmilk review of \"Guitar\": https://earmilk.com/album-reviews/mac-demarco-loses-the-glitz-and-glam-on-guitar-album-review/","location":1,"location_name":"Default","play_type":"trackplay"}
