About the artist

Melodic rock band MacArthur features the songwriting and music Arthur Winer. Formerly in New York, MacArthur gained a reputation as a melodic, power pop quartet featuring original, lyrically sophisticated songwriting and Neil Young-like guitar solos from Winer.

Now in Los Angeles, MacArthur is back with a new band. 2014’s THE FALL GUY album featured New York/Los Angeles transition-era tunes like the title track that explores how the official story often doesn’t jibe with reality. Also check out the power pop new classics “Everybody Loves You,” “Save Yourselves!” (about the end of the world by stupidity), “Summer Jobs” (an homage to the Beach Boys’ “Wouldn’t it Be Nice,”) and the moody “Weightless.” THE FALL GUY also features a classic tango reimagined as rock anthem, “Kiss of Fire” and a heavier rocking cover of Neil Young’s “Out On the Weekend.”

MacArthur is releasing new singles! “The Minor Key” featuring Kylie Mayhew talks about the difference between propaganda (major key) and reality (minor key—get it?) The recently-dropped “Pick Up Flip” featuring Sophie Rae is about missing your baby while at a crappy job during a global pandemic.

April 16, 2021 MacArthur released its new single “Quarantine Text Wars” featuring Gala Rae. A couple go on a Zoom date and text nonsense back and forth to each other. But is it nonsense or the unveiling of the secrets of the universe? Unlock the mystery of the Eye in the Pyramid...

Lyrics

Kay counts the lightbulbs in the vintage chandelier
Each cut glass sparkle represents a moment here
More than a waitress, she’s a curator with flair
And more than that she is a lynx caught in a snare

When you can’t find the beach
And your baby is twenty-five miles out-of-reach.
On a perfect day. Pick up flip, put on flop,
Hit the dirt or concrete with anyone you’ve got
So no one can say….that

“That girl doesn’t have a plan
Fishbelly white without a tan
The whole foundation’s made of sand"

Ron takes an order through a hole in plexiglass
Took home more cash back when he cut the neighbors’ grass
More than a man, he’s a cosmonaut in space
Been high all day because he misses his baby’s face

When you’re stuck in a tree
Inland Empire, 1000 miles from the sea
On a perfect day. Pick up flim, put on flam,
Get through the day, any old way you can
Ride the Milky Way

That guy is higher than the moon
Floating like a weather balloon
And it’s only half past noon

When you can’t find the beach
And your baby is twenty-five miles out-of- Reach.
On a perfect day. Pick up flip, put on flop,
Hit the dirt or concrete with anyone you’ve got
Anchors aweigh
