Tom Mac beautifully captures a moment in time with his latest single “Macedon.” It’s a beautiful modern love song with a distinctively Australian flavour. It tells the story of two people who meet online: one from Bendigo and one from Melbourne. They decide to meet halfway on the top of Mt Macedon and see what happens from there. Tom Mac wrote the song in “a 30-minute rush of emotional energy after an abrupt and unexpected end to a budding love story.”
“The rush of emotional creativity came from a deep feeling of despair. It almost felt like an out-of-body experience, one of those profound moments where you realise there’s something much bigger than you at play, and I wouldn’t call myself religious. The pure power of music was in full flight that night.”
Sometimes even the best love stories don’t last, but if you come away with a song as fantastic as this it’s not a total loss.
