Mac DeMarco released a new single from his upcoming record “Here Comes The Cowboy.” The new song is titled “All Of Our Yesterdays,” and is the second track off the album that is due out on May 10.
In a statement released by DeMarco himself, he explains that this was the first song he wrote for this new project. The Canuck cites the band Oasis as an inspiration behind the track and wanted to emulate a sound similar to theirs.
His full statement about the song is posted below:
Hi everybody, Mac here.
Here’s my new song, it’s called “All of Our Yesterdays.” This was the first song I wrote in the sequence of songs that appear on my new record. Most of the rest of the songs were written in November right before we went on tour in Europe, but this one’s probably from about seven or eight months before that. I left it sitting with only one verse done for a long time, then finished it up while I was writing the rest of the record. The phrase “all of our yesterdays” comes from the play Macbeth. Also I think there’s a “Star Trek” episode from 1969 with the same title; very cool. I had just seen a documentary about Oasisbefore writing this song, and I was trying to write a gigantic rock and roll hit with my renewed love for the band. I didn’t really get close to that at all, but I’m happy with the song that came out hahahahaha.
I hope you enjoy, have a nice day.
See ya later.
