    This album DESTROYED me listening to it. There's so many lines that hit here about anxiety, loneliness and depression, so much so that they kind of made me sweat and/or feel sick. It's heartbreaking because I feel like Mac was on the precipice of getting better, but he died before he could be fully healed.

    This album is so peaceful. I miss him. What i hate is people saying he “knew” he was bout to die that’s such lies he always spoke and foreshadowed death because he knew one day he would die but he didn’t end his life he was given laced drugs he was killed. Yes he had drug issues but he always did for years and years and Jon brion the person who was with mac throughout swimming and circles said he was mentally in the best place and was just about to go on tour. His last tweet “i just want to go on tour” he tweeted that the same day he died. I hate the idea people think he planned it out to write this album and then “kill himself” so when the album was released it’s like “ omg he totally knew and planned this out” no. Just no. The nicest man to ever live no one had a bad word to say about him.

    • @PhoenixXZY
      @PhoenixXZY 5 років тому +11

      I've known addicts in my life who have died, and they usually never died because they choose to, it's true. Every addict I've ever known has said that they knew, no matter how sober they were or how long they had been sober, that there was always a chance they would fall back and it could be the last time they ever did. Just out of no where. That is what addiction does to you. In Mac Millers case, I don't believe that he choose to die either. But alot of the songs on this album seem to tell that he knew it was possible, that anyday could be a relapse and one of them could be his last.

    • @kRonicss
      @kRonicss 5 років тому +1

      its crazy how much mac foreshadowed his death. its not like he did it once or twice but he did it on MULTIPLE of songs. some where he even straight up says he's going to die of an over dose. i think he knew he would die soon and i also think he knew he would die of an over dose. mind you he also liked the drug that killed him which is Fentanyl. "Uh love me love me that Fentanyl it numb me" - Mac miller - Someone like you. So yes sophie he knew he would die soon and yes and no to that part of you saying he knew he would die of "laced drugs".

    @tagu661 5 років тому +256

    The production, lyrics, presentation etc none of that got me as much as.. Just as the finality of it all. This is it. This is his last project and instead of it being this sad moment which it still is of course, its idk.. closure? Like the things he says its as if he KNEW his time was coming. Like so many of these lyrics are comforting like when he's saying he's fine where he is and that he doesn't want us to be stuck on what happened, that he wants us to move forward. Mac was a saint to the end man, a saint with dark demons but he never let them get in the way of being the loving human being he was.
    I love this album and it took me days to get through it, Jon Brion did a wonderful job with the production, I don't think this couldve been handled any better than it was.
    Please appreciate artists while they're still here and forget all the fandom's hating on eachother for whatever reason.
    Rest In Paradise Malcolm.

    as a mac miller fan, this album affected me greatly. after he passed, my favorite song of his became so it goes because it gave me the hope and security i needed. when he passed, it really felt like i had lost a family member. he was always someone who was so open and i loved that about him and his music. when i listened to circles, i cried so hard through the whole thing. i felt myself feel what he was thinking, and after it all, i feel like i have a better grasp of him. it also felt like i could move on, in some weird way. his passing didn’t feel right but we got to get the experience of having him around. i miss him.

    I was up in the mountain camping with friends when the album came out. We didn't even plan for it, the trip was planned months in advanced before the album date was announced. Can I tell you that night the album came out it was a whole new experience. We all just sat there in silence for a minute before putting it on. It was such a peaceful and comforting moment. Hearing the album while being up there in the mountain is something I'll never forget. It was a different vibe a feel of yeah we got this we feel the love. I remember sitting on a rock and looking out into the mountains range filled with stars and the moon ;-;

I listened to this album, and it was the first thing I really listened to from him but I loved it. I feel like he wanted this to be closure for his fans and the world. So I hope that people can find that in this album, and I know we will always remember Mac as the lovely human he was

But everytime i hear good news play on shuffle i just wanna cry. Fuck. I wasn’t a hardcore fan but his music does resonate well. Wish I could’ve seen this legend/genius live...

    it's so weird and sad knowing it is the last album from him. last song. last piece of art that we get to enjoy. It's hard not to cry while listening to this. Every song, every lyrics, every detail.
    i love this artwork with my whole heart. even though it hurts, i can't stop listening to it because its mac and it brings me joy at the same time. thats what is so incredible and special about him.
    (cant imagine what his family and friends must feel right now) just wanted him back, but I feel like he will always be with us. through his art and everything he taught us by just being him.
    thank you for being so considerate about this and making a video so raw and honest. 🖤

    It felt very weird listening to the album. I was planning on getting into Mac a bit before he passed. When he passed, I only heard half of Swimming cause I was so shocked. It took me a month to listen to the second half and thank god cause 2009 hit way too hard for me even though I was not deep into the fandom. I have yet to hear his first two albums tho. This was a double whammy for me. The production was amazing and I think it’s one of the better posthumous albums I’ve heard.

Mac was a talented and gentle soul, it came through on this album and I hope that he is resting in peace:)

But like he says, day by day and no matter the circumstance we are all loved. Tomorrow will be better and if not i will say it again. You may feel down now but you never know who you could meet tomorrow and life is beautiful once you accept yourself for who you are and put away the drugs. Im stuck in a cycle i fear ill never defeat, and thats ok, as long as you are a genuine human being and keep giving love, then love will come back to us. Shoutout 412, black and gold, pittsburgh. I had to leave but will always have my heart. You can take the boy out pgh but you cant take the pgh out the boy

    Once a day ends on a dissonant chord. If you repeate the album and start with circles again, the first chord in circles resolves the dissonance and effectively brings the album to a full circle.

    don't hate death, it's the only certain thing in life. in my opinion, it gives us a purpose: make the most of the time we have alive. i think mac embraced the knowledge that he was going to die.
