Tom Mac Releases Personal Love Song, “Brave”

Up-and-coming local country artist Tom Mac delivers a love song with a difference with the release of his latest single “Brave.” This isn’t your average tale of boy-meets-girl. Instead, Tom drew on his own experience forging a relationship with his partner Erin … and her children. This song celebrates blended families while giving voice to the uncertainty and vulnerability that can come with families separating and moving on.

Tom recalled the early days of his relationship with Erin and her desire to keep her children out of it until they were sure, noting “I only knew them as the little voices in the background of our phone calls. I quietly wondered whether there’d ever be room for me in their lives.”

But there was, and Tom says theirs is a relationship that has taught him so much. “Loving the most beautiful woman I’d ever met meant accepting I’d never be her number one – and learning that real love doesn’t ask to be. ‘Brave’ is for anyone who’s chosen love despite the uncertainty, and for every family finding a new way forward.”

Prepare to Fall in Love With Tom Mac’s New Single, “Macedon”

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.
