[@TAZKEYS]

I wish you woulda done the final 2 tracks. Right and Floating. They are in my top 5

[@Sky_Blaze]

If you didnt know the album is an actual circle ..you can play the album on repeat and the last note goes in to the first song, thats why you get that weird cut off at the end of "once a day"..Mac was a genius.

[@maxmaxxammax3011]

i always find it funny that Mac gets all the credit when Jon Brion said himself in an interview that it was his choice to put the track there, based on his response to what Mac did in the studio to him with this song and probably based on alllllll the work they did. Credits to both for sure tho for the best posthumous release ever!

[@Sky_Blaze]

@@maxmaxxammax3011 you are right, and I'm sorry I forgot to give credit to Jon Brion as well,..he did an amazing job.

[@russellabbott6149]

Mac has somewhere near 800 unreleased songs supposedly, plus theres 2 bonus tracks on his circles album u should hear.

[@alexpbowen]

Man I cried the whole way through the first time I heard this. The “making peace” theme was so apparent and then going back to Swimming made it hurt even more. Not only was he in the process of making peace with himself, but he was trying to tell us that if he can make peace with the cause and effect, that we can too, even if we aren’t ready to right now. Man I miss Mac.

[@dave_by_day7632]

K.I.D.S. is so feel good and it was his breakthrough mixtape to make it big. IMO it's a must listen, even if on your own

[@AngelGuzman0925]

It was supposed to be a trilogy of albums even though the two pieces, Swimming & Circles, are companions. The concept was Swimming in Circles Till Infinity (the third album). Swimming was a mix between rap and singing. Circles was mostly singing. The third was supposed to be mostly rap. Great to have experienced this journey with you on Mac Miller ❤😄

[@jamesnash9565]

mac miller also released a jazz ep with his band called “larry lovestein and the velvet revival” the ep “you”is amazing and worth a listen on or off camera

[@AntonBA25]

There's also the Delusional Thomas mixtape.

[@jgrywacheski]

I had no idea this existed... thank you!

[@LukeRoberts280]

100%! Circles felt like Mac wrote and released it from whatever afterlife as a "don't worry about me I'm all good just enjoy this last project" Gets me everytime

[@ryanhall4583]

damn bruh i saw this and got super excited cuz i got this big ass turkey sandwich i just made and was ready to GOOOOOO. Good to know it'll be ready tomorrow though, but ill need another big ass sandwich lmao

[@StorymodeReacts]

lmaoooo my bad, see you tomorrow! I hope the turkey sanwich is IMMACULATE

[@ryanhall4583]

@@StorymodeReacts Both slapped on caps no god. Thank you for making a great mac series, we all can see how much work you put into them and appreciate it. Glad I ran across that first mac video so I could tag along with you guys. Peace everyone, and rest in peace to Malcom.

This series brought me to the channel and now I watch everything you drop. You are gorgeous and that "ohh baby" brought shivers down my spine❤. Everyone who appreciates mac miller's music and as a personality is my friend. It means that much to me and so did your series. Thank you Story mode Bae.❤

[@CURT_iS]

swimming & circles hurt on a personal level. heartbreak & drug addiction took over the remaining years of his life just as his music genius was getting into that special place.... left us musical gems. virtual hugg to all my mac fans.

[@marvfromthecity]

This album is like therapy for me

[@WisdomcubeWoW]

Idk if you'll check out his mixtape "I love Life, Thank you" or "Kids", but I really loved and appreciate the Mac reactions.

[@samuraiteensy8004]

“I need somebody to save me before I drive myself crazy” made me bawl 😢

[@DonPaul99]

A warm conclusion to a fun and insightful musical journey. Lovely

I recommend listening to Aaron Mays album “Chase”. It’s such an underrated album, so smooth. The kind of shit you wanna bump in a drop top on a nice summer day.

[@mayfielddtm]

The deluxe has two songs Right which is incredible and Floating which is great too. You should check those out!

[@Squeaakz]

You've gotta do a Loyle Carner discography!!! I'm a big mac head and loyle's music reminds me alot of mac

[@Iamraretalent]

Big krit 4eva is a mighty long time

[@oneill765]

Craziest thing is mac never even got to hear the full album

[@WMWTSO98]

You should react to Mac's mixtape Delusional Thomas and his beat tapes, Run on Sentences.

[@0rganon.]

You should definitely listen on your on time or react to K.I.D.S also by mac. Such a fun mixtape.

[@numiyagi]

holy shit you need to listen to both of Samphas albums

[@Sky_Blaze]

"Woods" is one of the best songs ever and its always what I listen to when I go to bed since it came out. I wish you reacted to the Deluxe version cause "Right" is another song that's just as good.

[@tyler-pg6lm]

It’s about his relationship with drugs

[@Sky_Blaze]

@@tyler-pg6lm I'm aware..woods is an analogy for being lost. It reminds me of "objects in the mirror" the way it Is a double entendre of love and drug abuse.

[@gingerbaker_toad696]

​@@tyler-pg6lmyou are so fckn lame... (nicest word i could think of right now)

[@tyler-pg6lm]

Yes! Just like objects in the mirror :) a great creative mind

[@AsToldByTristan]

I’ve really enjoyed this reaction series. Whew this album means a lot to me. A close friend of mine passed the Christmas before this album came out and this album helped me a lot with the grieving process.

[@hiramaguilar4897]

Don't forget the two bonus tracks, they are absolutely worth the listen

[@blakehaggard-coversextras-2762]

I’ve loved re-experiencing this music from the perspective of a first impression again through your reactions, it’s brought back a lot of bittersweet memories. I think if you appreciate seeing and hearing the growth and maturity of an artist then you would LOVE Tyler, The Creator! He went from shock rap and “Slim Shady Esque” type music to absolute art that compares to later Mac music. “Flower Boy, IGOR, and Call Me If You Get Lost” are all masterpieces. @storymodereacts

[@JordanCheck-br5rs]

I loved going on this journey with you; have you considered doing Larry Lowenstein?

[@theOGsourD]

Let’s gooooo been waiting on this one🔥🔥

[@johani1717]

Nice pfp hehe

[@theOGsourD]

@@johani1717 hahaha hey I know you!

[@jasonmann9497]

you’re awesome! I really appreciate you reacting to his projects. It’s a beautiful thing to see. Any chance you will be reacting to kids? It’s a really awesome body of work and it might be a bitter sweet ending to go back to the beginning. Also, there are tons of unreleased songs and works by him, including an Album/mixtape called Balloonerism, from the Faces era. I assume you wouldn’t be able to react to it given it being unreleased. But I think every Mac fan should check it out. Thanks again for this great series of reaction videos and have a lovely day! ❤

[@tharealnose]

It has been a pleasure seeing you get to know all of Macs major projects aswell as reacting to the Kendrick vs. Drake beef lol I'd love to see you react to my favorite artist (besides Mac ofc), 070 Shake. I don't know if you know her. Besides of that one Tik Tok song she had with RAYE not many people seem to be familiar with her discography, which is a shame, cause her music is really special. So yes, check her stuff out, it's incredible! (for now she only has two albums: Modus VIvendi and You Can't Kill Me) Oh, and a fun fact: she is the female singer on Ghost Town that Kanye didn't give credit to lol

[@GlowingMist]

hi Bri :3

[@StorymodeReacts]

Hiiii 🥰

[@vlonethug4236]

should listen to Juice WRLD. another artist who spoke on addiction and mental health who we lost way too young. his Posthumous record "Legends Never Die" is one of the few Posthumous tracks id consider a masterpiece (including Circles). lotta Mac fans are Juice fans and vice versa. for obvious reasons. great artists with greta messages. great reaction keep it up!!!

[@Comebacktoearrth]

Please please please react to the two bonus tracks from circles and PLEASE react to kids lol I got so excited when you brought it up and then took the wind out of my sail when you said you were listening on your own 😂 if you happen to react to kids also do the deluxe, there’s two songs at the end released posthumously Top 5 Complicated Hand me downs Surf Once a day Right

[@Jaybeewavy]

You should react to XG’s new rap track dropping on May the 21st. Will open up a whole new world of music to you. Plus a guaranteed 25k views 🤓

[@Soupytimeee]

This album came out on my birthday and within a few listens became one of my all time favorites the production style and everything is exactly what I love in music. Most amazing birthday gift ever

[@mikeywasabi1787]

Mac did an NPR Tiny Desk performance as well. If you get some time to check it out, I recommend it!

[@Tyler2011G]

here waiting

[@dylanhamm43]

if you listen to once a day it the last note CIRCLES back into circles 1st note its 1 giant circle and amazing transition

[@miguelbernardes3920]

Listening to his previous records and then this you can just listen to his tone and voice, sounds tired and done so sad man

[@SourSensei]

Check out Logic from the Mixtape Logic to Album Logic

[@johnserrano7019]

Listen to his older project Larry lovestein & the velvet revival EP called You. 👍🏽

[@white8oy782]

Listen to I Love Life, Thank You mixtape for his 1 million followers he hit

[@tragicstatic328]

When Mac passed I couldn’t listen to his music for at least like 2 years

it would be cool to see u go through MF DOOM's discography hes up there with lil wayne when it comes to influencing people and with wordplay

[@Ryzah]

you missed right and floating on the deluxe edition great reaction tho i really enjoyed watching all of them

[@Jay_R_S]

I feel bad because I never really paid attention to this kid or took him seriously while he was alive. Scrolling KZbin last year I came across his tiny desk performance and was really impressed. Went back and checked out a bunch of his stuff and really love swimming and circles, they’re very beautiful albums and have been in heavy rotation ever since. Got to give this kid props now. Funny thing is I was always in my mind like who is this dorky little white Jewish kid thinking he a rapper?! which is ridiculous because I grew up, loving the Beastie Boys and they’re dorky white Jewish rappers😂😂 turns out my mans was a G with 🔥🔥bars RIP Mac you was a true artist. PS I’m new to your channel but I subscribed so I’m not sure if you’ve seen that tiny desk performance but if you haven’t you gotta check it out ASAP and do a reaction on that. PPS… you are fucking fine as hell, girl

[@maxmaxxammax3011]

You have to check out his Alter Ego stuff next: "You" by Larry Lovestein, "Delusional Thomas" by Delusional Thomas. Please react to Delusional Thomas, because its always super interesting to hear a take on this side of Mac's writing because imo it's probably his most niche-genius written stuff he ever did!

[@blueknightcraze6766]

Jon Brion (the guy that finished circles after Macs passing) said Swimming and Circles were supposed to be 2 parts of a trilogy, he didnt give it a name but ive seen "Swimming in Circles Til' Infinity" Brion said he thinks the 3rd part was supposed to go back to straight hip hop as a reminder like "hey, i can still do this shit"

[@Ryzah]

the last track called floating feels like the perfect outro for mac

[@featherlydos]

The deluxe edition has two of the best songs on the album. I’d add a short video reacting to that too. Larry Lovestein and the Velvet Revival is his jazzy fun project, too.

[@Ed-jc7tp]

SWIMMING in CIRCLES through OBLIVION.. it's the whole concept . The end of Circles is the beginning of Swimming and may be end of Swimming is the beginning of Oblivion, kinda like infinite.. 92 till infinity ♾️ Long Live MAC

[@Salvador_Sway]

Mac Miller has a secret album under his alter ego. Larry lovestien named Love Affair. Please check it out because it’s really good

to me this and swimming has that hea vy but chill feeling to it especially with the lyrics it could be taken two ways depending on how your feeling

[@jordanlee5594]

Bro skipped the whole first minute and fourty seconds of the album its so over

[@エッコチン]

Swimming and Circles really belong to a trilogy, there were these two albums and it is the one Madlib is working on, which is only rap and would be the third

[@travisguercio6547]

Once a day ends on an unresolved musical note, the resolution for the unresolved note can be found on the song circles as the album itself has a cyclical structure

[@xOromis95]

since day one of the album have been released i tought about the beatles sound of everybody and your kinda the first one saying that :D

[@helajuice]

Awesome series, thank you for helping me relive Mac’s music through your reactions ❤ 92 until infinity.
