Gotta try “the weekend” by Mac Miller

[@guitarmaster127]

more mac please or earl

[@Nick9Three]

You know, this song hits me hard. My Dad committed suicide, and he called me the weekend before he did it. He was an alcoholic. Figured he was plastered so I didn’t answer the phone. It’s been 11 years now and I would give everything to answer that call.

[@bren630]

Im so sorry that happened to you. I hope you are alright right now.

[@boobly29]

i lost my dad about 3 years ago. i'm only 22, and a single father. the hardest thing i deal with is missing my dad. i just wanna hear that half drunk raspy voice again. i'm sorry for your loss nick. we'll get through this, king.

His tiny desk concert would be a good one to react too. PLUS, Thunder Cat is featured, so that would be cool for your dad to hear him again

[@krystelj3716]

I was thinking the same thing!! Great idea!

I'm the same way. Circles is a beautiful album and I almost never listen to it because it makes me cry.

2009 is the one song I can’t play without it feeling too heavy, Mac is truly a goat 🐐

[@gunnar4915]

I think dad needs to hear “Yeah”, “Right”, “Wings”, “2009” His singer songwriter phase is something else, and sad he never got to expand on it

[@Cblockproduction]

Agreed, iWould add "Colors and Shapes" to the mix.

[@frontroom]

Next Mac song will be 2009 because lots of people are asking for it. I will let my dad meditate on Good News for a week or so and then I'll show him!

I don't know how many times I've cried to this song, the whole album is such an emotional ride. One of my favorite albums

[@daviddunn8377]

I’ve seen a lot of react channels but for some reason I like you guys the best. I appreciate the knowledge the son has on all of the artists he presents and I like his dads input and openmindedness

[@JBags0203]

You should check out "turning the tables" its another dad and son dou on youtube and they have done almost his entire discogrophy

[@salembonnell6320]

he taught himself to play most of his own instruments. he would make a tune, drum over it, and then throw some guitar and bass with it. he was one of the most creative rappers out there

[@neightdogg8165]

This would be a perfect album for you guys to listen to the whole album! It's such a complete album and the songs definitely flow from one to another!

[@koffiam]

I agree so much Even the one before his death was super good

[@neightdogg8165]

Swimming in circles! It's crazy that Swimming ends on a half note and Circles starts on a half note so it's like Swimming in Circles! There's a few videos about it!

[@Cinnamongirl4life]

This is one of the hardest Mac songs for me to listen to. I was in an outpatient program and was going through it. Some guy played this for our group and it just perfectly explained how I felt at the time. I would listen to this when I was at my lowest over and over so it’s kinda hard to listen to without tearing up.

[@valeriemellman6485]

Mac Miller has always been good with using his sounds and making the back tracks, they're so beautiful.

[@chriscontreras7551]

Thanks for covering Mac. I honestly almost tear up everytime when I listen to Circles or just think about his life. He is missed dearly 💯🕊️

[@beensavage390]

one of the greatest full artists of our time

[@defendtheconstitution1776]

Mac is a vibe. One of the most underrated rappers to ever do it. His art is timeless.

[@OneAndOnlyMeek]

Mac always brings a tear to my eye, still cant belive he is gone. Imagine all the great music he was still to make.. I hope to see you and youre dad react to more from mac!

[@celestebenitez6688]

The song, the album was an event that you remember where you were when it came out. When I saw the video for the first time, I sobbed uncontrollably. Its one of the saddest things you will ever experience in in your life. It didnt help that it came out about 1.5 before the pandemic. And I lost my sister and husband within 26 days of eachother in March and April of 2020. So this song will always be a hurricane of catastrophic proportions of sadness and depression, for me at least.

[@leoedstrom8579]

I am so sorry for you loss. I can't begin to imagine what it was like, I hope you have been able to move on and recover. Mac Miller is keeping them company, wherever they are. Sending you love.

[@codymcgee5212]

I wish I could go back and listen to this song again for the first time. Man. This is incredible. As someone from Pittsburgh it’s always nice to see people pay respects to Mac. He is a LEGEND in this city

[@aaronpenner3990]

this song gives me chills everytime. those staccato strings really do give it a playful nature that makes the content of mac’s verses even more hard hitting. the music softens the blow of what he has to say and makes it all the more depressing. for me it’s about struggling to reach out to people and keeping up that constant layer of superficial happiness almost as a guard against the judgement and help of others. this song gives me chills every time i hear it, the tenderness jon brion brings in the production combined with mac miller’s raw emotion and lyricism is just perfect. so glad you covered this!!

[@user-ns7gh8mi9z]

The growth Mac Miller showed from album to album was phenomenal! And then when you sew it together with the earliest mixtapes and Larry Fisherman stuff .. this story had a lot more to be told

[@GRAYgauss]

I love your dad and your interactions, his love for you is so full, I can feel it. I used to spend time with my dad showing me his music just before he passed and I always tear up watching you guys.

[@beensavage390]

goddamnit Mac being dead is such a criminal set of circumstances. his art was so raw and real you don't find rappers willing to be this open and willing to let the listener into his life. his real life.

I was craying before you hit that play button man RIP MAC MOST DOPE

[@loganhough7112]

KIDS

[@artofash8997]

To this day, I still cannot stress the unfairness of the premature ending of Mac miller. It's not fair to how much he was set to keep on growing as a person and artist. So incredibly potentially talented. I truly did grow with him, from when he first started and us being the same age, seeing him become into his own was a privilege

[@Flower-br8pm]

Please, show him more MM!!! We all need more Mac in our lives!! I miss him :(

[@drewdrew2172]

I played this song everyday for weeks when it came out. One of the most touching and relatable songs I ever heard from him.

Painting the full picture of Mac and who he was would be beautiful to see your dad unfold and learn from. Its one of the more complex artists we've experienced.

[@Dannydarko27]

Rip Mac, he and Cudi are the two artist that connect to my soul the most💙

[@unlucky_charm29]

that comment of the lyrics and the way he was singing them sounding "resigned" really struck a chord. that's what major long term depression is like, imo. it's like an old hoodie that you've been wearing every day for 11 months. it's lived in, it's cozy, it's familiar. it smells like shit but you don't know that it smells like shit because you've been wearing it for 11 months and you've gotten used to it. it becomes casual, the desperation erodes away until you've just accepted it.

[@kathrynsackett]

[@igor4305]

'so tired of being so tired' never fails to make me shoot full in my eyes.. so so so true mann. Maybe not in the same way as mac miller but just life man it may sound stupid but it just keeps on going and going and sometimes (maybe even most of the times) you just dont have time to be tired because the next hurdle is already there in front of you. Its like an never ending path of hurdles. I know bad times always end but its even more exhausting to think that the good times also always end.. like you know you can go trough that whole process again but its just so exhausting knowing that it is coming again and again.. mac was always so easy to be vulnerable and open to his real emotions 🕊❤

“It’s what I do / If you know me, it ain’t anything new / Wake up to the moon, haven’t seen the sun in a while / But I heard that the sky’s still blue, yeah” Man, I love this rhyme scheme and bar so much. I’ll always remember this man… he’s like a Pac or Big of our generation, as in he offered so much and gave so much but didn’t live long enough to show us more. And he died around the same age as them too… Man, so sad how so many greats have died so young. Listen to “Woods.” By far my favorite track on the album, followed by “Hand Me Downs.”

Thanks for this video. It's so good to see how father and son have common passion and can talk about it, share thoughts and view and do it duo and share it with people I love this song and whole album

[@jessedelgado442]

Honestly loving this channel and the idea be hide it, such an amazing and genuine experience. The only I thing I see, and I can be wrong is just like there is a slight barrier between how to truly express personal opinion without hesitation. On a side note just because I just learned this, if you play the first note at the beginning of the album(this happy and positive up beat) and then play the last note at the end of the album(it’s like a disturb note or purposely interrupted) it’s supposed to foreshadow a circle. Basically from the beginning it start’s somewhat positive and happy and starts to pivot downward towards depression and possible suicide which to me interprets the circle of life; it’s a constant battle that will continue to come and go.

Hey guys! First of all I really love what you’re doing. Just overall wholesome content! Mac is my favorite artist and even though I really like this album, I think you and your dad would also really enjoy some songs from his album “The Divine Feminine”, which is my favorite from him. “We”, “Soulmate”, “Congratulations”, or “Planet God Damn”, I think are all so great! But anyways, keep doing what you’re doing!

[@ArrghhMatey]

Mac is one of thise artist where his personal life informed his best songs. Much more impactful

[@terrencemitchell9873]

For me there seems to be an escalation from his earlier work, the more party vibe life is good rap, to the end. Maybe you could sample some tracks chronologically from his discography to sort of feel that progression in one sit down as you listen. Its fascinating to me to listen to his songs as they appear in order from his first stuff all the way to his posthumous releases. Some genuine acceptance of his fate in some of those tracks, its deeply moving.

[@CitizenScorn]

Go back and hug Mac, I'll join you. Pittsburgh forever 💙 🙏

[@Outd8tddais]

Can’t wait to see you guys touch on Devine Feminine one day! One of Mac’s best pieces of work, literally not a skippable track! I think his experience with love, lust, sex, and admiration for women was just so present and heavenly! One of the best lyricists of our generation, RIP Mac Miller ❤️‍🩹

[@BPhilzMusic]

First time I heard Circles by Mac Miller, I was hungover on a Sunday morning at my buddies house in Cincinnati with all the boys. We had partied hard the night before and had wild time. We got a couple joints rolled up, started smoking and jamming out.I had no idea I would enjoy this time so much.. even more than the partying! Lol. When I tell you that is in my top 3 memories of all time of my life, it really is. The simplicity of being with your best friends, the ones you call your brothers, sharing a smoke and a laugh. There’s nothing better. Not to metion we all grew up jamming to Mac so it was emotional to us all. But there just couldn’t have been a better time if that makes sense… what an absolute legend. Most dope, Mac. Hope you’re resting in peace 🙏🏼🤍😇
