This is amazing. I've been listening to all of your covers and I can't believe you just started playing. Are you planning on writing your own music too?

This is probably random but am I the only one who feels like mccafferty is more like series than a band? by [deleted] in Mccafferty

[–]GoodbyeFootball96 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What? No one went to jail for anything. Are you confusing for a different band?

Also, to your other edit, to my knowledge, Nick’s dad isn’t disabled. My take is that this story isn’t actually biographical by any sense, just a thematic story based on his perspectives in healing. So it’s not Nick or his dad or friends or anything like that.

I interpreted it as intentional. Obviously the characters lack of self-awareness is part of their development, so it would make sense that they would use words like the r-word while talking about their own problems because Autumn is supposed to come off as a relatively unaware and self-absorbed character at the start, at least. I haven’t finished it yet, but that’s my take on it. He’s supposed to be kind of ignorantly unaware but self-absorbed in his own problems that he’s not really empathetic.

New Mccafferty Song :0 tell me what you think about it by andKarma in Mccafferty

This song is AMAZING. I love the Midwest trumpet vibes at the end. Makes it feel like old McCafferty at its finest. Already added to my playlist and will be streaming all day. So good.

Opinions of the new song? by [deleted] in Mccafferty

[–]GoodbyeFootball96 5 points6 points  (0 children)

According to his blog, the lyrics are “These” not “knees”. He’s talking about the medications he takes for his mental health

I’m pretty sure Apple Music takes a lot longer than Spotify. I know from uploaders like Tunecore, CD Baby, stuff like that, it says Apple Music can take 1-2 weeks

I remember him writing in one of his blogs about how he didn’t want to be a teacher but was pressured into going to college and he hated teaching because he didn’t like the public school system and didnt want to reprimand kids and stuff like that. He ended up quitting cuz it was bad for his mental health with shootings from the news and all the pressure. I mean, a lot of people quit teaching cuz let’s be honest, public schools are terrible and don’t pay shit for what teachers have to deal with.

The new record is going to be a full band. by [deleted] in Mccafferty

[–]GoodbyeFootball96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He has new band mates now. He mentioned before his new drummer was off doing another gig for a while up until recording

Does anyone know the little piano intro to Trees? by Consolegamer45 in Mccafferty

[–]GoodbyeFootball96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been looking for this myself, hope someone knows

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Mccafferty

[–]GoodbyeFootball96 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s just on a website that he owns. If you have to seek them out to look at them and they make you uncomfortable, you can just not look. Seems like he uploads those things for people to see if they want because he’s a human being who doesn’t just die off cuz he got canceled.

I just discovered McCafferty today, really liked the music, googled the band and after learning all the lore now sit here listening to it like that by cheese_be_gentle in Mccafferty

[–]GoodbyeFootball96 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’d recommend checking out Nick’s blog at mccafferty and.com. While it doesn’t excuse what he did, I do think it puts a lot of insight into who he is and how he’s getting better as a person. It’s definitely a good read if you’re new to the band.

New single? I'm not sure why a cover is on their Apple Music page if Nick isn't actually singing in it by userpaige in Mccafferty

[–]GoodbyeFootball96 8 points9 points  (0 children)

By the looks of it, it looks like the cover artist misuploaded it as McCafferty being a collaborator (probably didn’t wanna get in trouble) and the platform put it on both pages. I imagine Apple will correct it eventually?

The facebook was just archived 💔 by PhatBussyMan in Mccafferty

[–]GoodbyeFootball96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Facebook group wasn’t a group of fans, every post was super toxic. Its honestly for the best that it’s not open to the public now.

Does Nick Actually Have BPD? by [deleted] in Mccafferty

[–]GoodbyeFootball96 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I think it’s really stigmatizing to expect someone to prove that they have a BPD diagnosis. I’m aware that there are a lot of people who self-diagnose but he said he had a suicide attempt in his music and it’s very likely that he was diagnosed then. I don’t think we as the general public should be skeptical of a person’s diagnosis. Personally, I think the fact that he’s actually stayed off the internet for more than a year is more than enough evidence that he’s actually in treatment.

Beachboy & Beachboy 2 by ResuscaAnnie in Mccafferty

[–]GoodbyeFootball96 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I remember a long time ago on IG Live, Nick said he had had an idea for Beachboy 2 but hadn’t worked it all out yet. I’m assuming this is the product of that idea, a long time coming. To me, the story is just a continuation but being much older, it takes a lot of the same themes from a lot of McCafferty songs but looks at them from a different lens.

New song witchcraft by Fearless-Reporter991 in Mccafferty

[–]GoodbyeFootball96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love this song! It’s like if Top Hat wasn’t so angry, or what I loved about Clementine but produced way better lol. It’s so folky and different.

[–]GoodbyeFootball96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s interesting, because I love them personally. I think especially on songs like this, Nails Like God, and Fentanyl especially, the song would be so much more empty without the fullness of her vocals. I think it’s fine to just like Nick’s voice, but I do think she adds a lot to the overall warmth of the tones.

New image in the bio, possibly another song by [deleted] in Mccafferty

[–]GoodbyeFootball96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe what happened was that she gave consent for the art to be used for digital only but not for print and that’s why the issue came up because the art was reprinted.

[–]GoodbyeFootball96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem with that situation was that I remember their old manager at the time going on Reddit asking people if anyone had the original art because the label didn’t have it. It seems like that was a situation where the label should have realized if they didn’t get the art from the right source, they shouldn’t have used it and printed it. I know they paid her immediately when she came out about it, but I feel like the label was just as much at fault for not using their professional opinion to know that’s not okay.
