The Importance of SWIMMING

[@Tabby]

wouldn't be a Tabby video without some obvious spelling errors. also for those wondering, sometimes the mic audio quality changes and that's because of me recording sections at different times and not having a dedicated spot to record audio. did all I could but it didn't annoy me that much so yeah. anyways thank you again for the patience and watching

[@cade997]

dude its okay. its still perfect bc of how much time/effort you put into this+it's you. been here since 6k and the flume video. can't wait to finish this vid.

[@chungomctwisty]

Chillll bro. Better than any of us could do. We love your work and we're more than grateful for you voluntarily putting yourself out there. Even if it's just in little bits and chunks. Beautiful video :)

[@aidenorwhatever]

I love you.

[@bolognio1150]

Amazing video. Very insightful

[@gregoryshelton5872]

Could I get the beat you used as the background track

[@Meami_ami]

always knew you were a real one when i watched you at 5k subs . keep grinding my brother

[@Tabby]

you’ve been a real one to me since then and nothing’s changed but some numbers 🙏 thank you

[@chandlerwiddoes8515]

Y’all need to link up for a video together

[@jonathangoodwin4302]

"As long as you're swimming you will not drown" That's poetic bro

[@ChivasBarcelonaMex]

I think it needs to be said. Sometimes you have to stop for a second and try to catch your breathe. Swimming is good an yes you not drowning if you swimming. But stop and think where are you swimming to? Up or down? or in circles? We are creatures of routine. A double edged sword after all.

[@zapatykokot7372]

Really? When You're swimming you can not down? Didn't know that, such a poetry

[@dedasalmeida9047]

How's that poetic? Even I could come up with that

[@quadecaX8]

this is beautiful

[@aliciamyers8769]

Ironically the outro to “So it goes” was the last thing he posted on his IG story

[@cdavet241]

Yeah he knew :/

[@randomnewspaper]

He described it as a ascent to heaven

[@mallorycarvalho284]

i think about this almost everyday

[@DatDaDatty]

tears will be shed

[@jjsweg9012]

DAT STOP FOLLOWIN ME IM GETTING HEATED

[@MrBreadisawesome]

Is your profession just to comment on yt videos?

[@LilReach]

Someone needs to make a video called “The Importance of ‘The Importance of Swimming’”

[@ReyhanJoseph]

the day that happens is the day KZbin becomes meta meta

[@lauta7564]

fr this video has helped me so much

[@keikofilms]

I might…

[@connorherron6698]

This is an amazing video, a truly emotional watch.

The idea is swimming in circles

[@reaganwolf]

Thank you for putting this into words

[@sergiolobos5023]

What do you mean my bro?

[@buttnakedman5320]

Suli omg stfu

[@KING_WORLDWIDE]

The day that he died he posted and deleted “The end of So It Goes is so beautiful man. I told jon brion to play an ascension into heaven and he nailed it” Crazy 😪

[@L.ATRAFFICNMADNESS]

so he overdosed on purpose?

[@maximalist5038]

NONPHIXION 47 that’s what I’ve always assumed. It’s weird for Mac to be found is an absolutely spotless house with almost no signs of drugs besides a little coke on his body. It’s just weird when you look at it. He overdosed on a coke and fentynal mix, mixed with alcohol. He was experienced with drugs enough to know that coke and alcohol don’t mix terribly well so I think he did it on purpose

[@ZeroDiscordGaming]

Max Rooks he didn’t do it on purpose because the toxicology said the amount of coke and alcohol he did wasn’t enough to kill him. Fentanyl ended his life. He probably posted that and then deleted it once he felt himself getting weak, he was found in a praying position also

[@maximalist5038]

ZeroDiscordGaming idk man I’ve always thought it was a suicide. And I’m pretty sure you can still be praying even if you are causing your own death. It just seems like a weird situation to me

[@annabanana7811]

I think its more likely that someone cleaned up the house after finding him. I personally think if it was a suicide he wouldn't have used a recreational amount. But either way we are left without him 💔

[@milzhere]

I dropped acid for the release of swimming, and it felt like Mac was holding my hand, helping me overcome my insecurities and anxiety through music

[@drewbirnbaum2216]

This is by far the best KZbin video of 2018.

[@JJune815]

YESSSSS.

[@Zorooooooooooooooooooooooooooo]

Hmm. "There will never be another show like SpongeBob SquarePants" was pretty good too.

[@Gibson4411]

I’ve been a frequent of KZbin since the first year of its creation. You have made one of the best videos I’ve ever watched on the platform. Thank you

[@Stubbstep]

Your take on selfishness/selflessness, specifically being there for others but avoiding the help yourself hit me so hard. You were able to put into words a struggle that I’ve had for a while. Thank you, Tabby.

[@NiggaInTech]

BIG FACTS

[@Nil0tinius]

Same over here

[@josem7402]

“Now every body gather round... I’m still standing sit down....” 😪 love you Mac

[@techkilla2463]

This album saved my life i was at my low when this came out and now everyday i listen to it cause it keeps me alive. Makes me wake up i realize self care is very important. Thank you mac and thank you for this video man ❤

[@OhhSwapy]

Same

[@lostimoteo5710]

I liked your comment just in case you’re off track. Hope you’re still listening because I know what that album does to get your perspective right. God Bless!

[@DeVaughnTaylor]

I really think the video essay style suits you. Like the album you're discussing, I feel like I've gotten to know the real you through this video. Show's a lot more of your thoughts and feelings that aren't really captured in your reactions. This was really well done, more please.

[@xNeOnBoMbSaUcEx]

Absolutely. Tabby's intellect with music is something to behold. I really hope he continues to take more time with his videos if it means they come out this spectacular! Bless you tabby

[@thelostmind2221]

I remember the first time I listened to Swimming straight through on an hour+ long drive, and thinking to myself how I can’t wait to hear his next album. I reach my destination, with my phone blowing up along the way, only to find out he passed within that hour. Mac Miller was the first “celebrity death” that hit me right in the feels, and there hasn’t been a day since that I haven’t listened to at least one of his songs. There is so much genius, love, and passion in his music that I wish I could have appreciated more while he was alive. Like you he was a friend that didn’t know he was my friend, and he’s one of those artists that you wish you could meet before a tragedy like this happens. RIP Mac Miller, you touched more lives than you could have imagined.

[@kolulaser]

Damn couldnt hold back them tears when you let that "so it goes" instrumental Play and showed his Picture :(

[@smeds_]

Thank you for this. Malcolm would be so proud. This is so important.

[@LockedinEden]

I wanted to watch the full video before commenting, and wow this was beautiful. This perfectly encapsulates not only my thoughts on the album, but on mental health in art, and I’m so glad you took the time to put this together, as I think it’s a topic that isn’t discussed nearly enough. Not only that, but I appreciate how you opened yourself up to all of us; using your personal struggles with mental health to connect to Mac’s art and to show the struggles you face as a creator and a human. From the bottom of my heart, thank you Tabby, for always being able to put in to words what I never could, and allowing others to find reprieve through your art. ♥️

[@evanmccormick4316]

I agree that swimming is a masterpiece, but I have such a large amount of nostalgia from listening to kids, bde, faces, watching movies, good am, and really all of macs music with my brother. I dont think I could choose a favorite piece. Rest easy mac, you've changed so many lives❤❤❤

[@jakegraskey]

Faces is without a doubt the greatest mixtape ever made

[@fantanofanfiction5451]

Wow. I can see you've put great effort in editing and writing this video. Excellent work!

[@keef_cheefr3110]

Circles is his best album imo, with Faces in second and Swimming in third. Circles to me hit the same way Swimming did for you, acceptance of yourself. Swimming is just as good, and honestly i would go as far as coupling both that and Circles together as one big beautiful project that finally gave into the acceptance of his death and his self identity.

[@aidenorwhatever]

i pray this video blows up like it should. people need to hear this and im only a few minutes in. i love you tabby. thank you for everything you do for us, and thank you for this.

[@kob4918]

a X was a trash human

[@aidenorwhatever]

​@@kob4918 the fact that you went out of your way to completely ignore the message of my comment and every other one around it, centering around mac and how we all relate in some way to him, his art, and how accurately this video encompasses it, and jumped straight to my irrelevant ass profile picture tells me a lot about naturally what kind of human you are. I hope Mac's work can help you resolve whatever you have going on atm, and you can appreciate him like all of us that came to this video do.

[@jetsgame73]

2009 tho holy shit made me cry 😢

[@ethanbrownback9803]

The NPR tiny desk version hits hard

[@adamtheros6360]

Tabby, i discovered your channel just today. I spent all morning and afternoon in class watching your reactions to my favorite albums of the year and beyond. I don’t have words for what an amazing job you did here, other than thank you. I hope you’re ok always.

[@keikofilms]

“ the beauty of being flawed and the journey of self forgiveness “ Your words man!

[@samj1499]

This was a beautiful video. We're all in this shitty world together. Keep your head up and seek help when you need it, because there is no shame in getting help. Love each and every one of you. Rest in peace Malcom.

[@dabossman5650]

Sam Johnson Iss not shitty wyd

[@mtsn2512]

"just pick a direction, and go." genuinely changed my outlook on life and is a quote i've kept around me since i first heard it in this video 4 years ago. the person i've become since then is down to that change in mentality. thanks tabby.

[@thereferend9715]

oh my god it’s here. this is great señor orange!

[@davidhebenstreit2666]

Him saying “I am human” after listing all the problems he deals with just hit different.

[@kmcorrea5805]

Thank you for this. I think Mac would appreciate this.

[@Italiafani]

I also pictured Mac watching this and thinking about what kind of an impact he has had on Tabby and many others. The fact that he has encouraged many people to swim is beautiful. I also like to think about him, or any other artist for that matter, hearing some fan interpreting his lyrics in their own way. Could you imagine that you make a song about something close to you, some fan hears it and thinks it's about an other thing that's close to him, he puts up a video explaining his own interpretation and you as the original artist watch it and you realize something you've never even thought of before. I can't explain what I'm thinking about, but the main point is that *it's just so beautiful that there's 8 billion interpretations to everything.*

[@BurztLimit]

Fucking loved this man. Fantano should see this, this was the reason why his review got so destroyed by dislikes because you summarized how the rest of us felt about this video. You did Mac proud! RIP

[@JohnDoe-dw8eh]

I had to pause this for a few moments to type this. I normally hate to do so before I finished watching a video but this is hitting me "right in the feels", as they say... You made me realize so much in the first 5 minutes of this video it's sort of unreal. Without going into great detail, I've been stuck in a loop the past few weeks - maybe even months - of my life and as stupid as it may sound; just hearing some those words made me want to start swimming again. Thank you so much for this video (already), Tabby. You're human; and a really amazing one at that.

[@sabahm9865]

I feel like this has given a lot of perspective on how Mac was seen as an act by some not the person. It breaks my heart because he was a beautiful person. Been having a really tough day and missing Malcolm more and more everyday. This video really helped, I just really wish Malcolm would come back to Earth...

[@johncooper4874]

I have not seen the video yet and I'm already so proud of u!!

[@maneonanewplanenigga5162]

"woke up this mornin wit a bright idea, maybe i can exist forever right here" makes waves and just keep swimming.

[@DanielRodriguez-gm1to]

"Love so much that my heart gets broke... I dont really know how the normal shit goes". Relate to this line so much. Swimming is truly a beautiful album. Miss you everyday Malcolm. Rest easy

i can’t explain how thankful i am to have found this video…absolutely amazong

[@slyyyyyde]

This video resonated with me so heavy, I really feel like I relate to you so much with this shit man, it makes me feel not alone with my thoughts with them seeming so similar, obviously I don’t know you personally but this was really good for me man. Thank you for making this man you’re amazing x

[@zoejeremy9671]

“Life feels like this vast ocean I’m swimming in” holy shit that’s how I’ve been feeling

[@hopeless__-ut6tg]

"2009" literally makes me cry whenever I hear it. Been a big fan since I was 17; 25 now and it still doesn't register in my mind that this kid is gone.. especially being so close in age. Even typing this now I have tears in my eyes. (thank you for that lol as this video brought back the emotion). My first tattoo was his logo. Something I would try to hide being in corporate offices and shit, now I wear it proud. In 10 years this song will me cry, in 20 years it'll make me cry. On my death bed.. you get the idea. R.I.P Mac Man and thank you for articulating this into words--something a lot of us needed.

[@underthepink7]

i come back to watch this probably once a year. i love it (and mac) so much!

[@paulh.9937]

Honestly, making videos like these, satisfies my need to talk about topics like this. Discussing music, and what it means, is, for me, something that i like to do a lot. Partly because i love music. I mean, i love music. So when you talk about the deeper things tucked away inside albums, and about the artists who made them, is awesome. Plus the whole mental health thing your doing right now is honestly something that i think a lot of people my age need. I just turned 16. Im in my sophmore year in highschool. Just a regular nigga who loves music, and culture, but doesnt have the time to experience any of it. But i apreciate you making videos like this. You make my day my dude. Love you man. #tabbyisarealnigga

[@briceleste100]

Omg I thank YOU for separating Mac and Ariana. I hate the connection! Thank you! This is what all Macs real fans wanna say.

[@emmit9636]

What you mentioned about the outro to "Perfecto" was spot on man. A beautiful song with an eye opening conclusion.

[@cflowermakeup]

Wow.. great video. I’ve been a fan of his since 2010-11. He was extremely underrated & just taken way too soon. Praying he’s in a better place now 💔😔 R.I.P. mac

[@D3adRomanc3]

His death is another horn signaling all those who believe in his music. Among so many others..we have lost

[@MasterKief-fo20]

How is he underrated? The guy was not underrated

[@jesse3912]

Peter Castricum he came out with swimming around the same time as Astro world and literally no one talked about his album. That’s how he’s underrated

[@cflowermakeup]

jesse thank you!! They don’t even play his music on the radio 😫😔

[@Weedwaffles]

jesse holy shit that that’s not what underrated means. Underrated is making good music with little recognition. What are y’all talking about? The best rapper of all time (jay-z) even praised Mac. You say his album was overshadowed. Everyone knew Mac. And they don’t play a lot of hot artist on the radio, radio is for pop music.

[@eyanstonier7130]

Fun fact: Mac asked Jon Brion to make what he thought the ascension to heaven would sound like and that's the instrumental ending to So It Goes

[@stanbarkworth6198]

I got ROS tatted in bold old English writing on my chest. Every morning I wake up and see it and remember that time back in 09 when I was 9 years old and how happy I was and how happy mac made me. Made me cry like twice this whole video but thank you for clearing up his album and opening my mind to things I probably could never see. We all miss Malcolm 🖤

[@imboutamakeafoolofmyself]

I know I'm only about a minute into this but this might really be the best video you've ever made. Love you bro

[@NouhOfficial]

I’m very happy I’m not the only one who feels this way about Mac and thinking about him everyday since his passing. Man was incredible. Wow.

[@zacharymartin8406]

Absolutely stellar insight man. This is something I've been needing to hear. So much to deal with alone but you just want to keep making others happy. Definitely can relate. It's not too often I see a video, especially from youtube, that provokes so much thought and ah-ha moments. Definitely up to hear you discuss mental health. Let's keep swimming Tabby.

[@jkromes20]

His death affected me and affects me way more than i ever thought someone i never personally knew could. I listened to him since kids. Even when people stopped i started to enjoy his personal stuff more and more. often playing it for hours. I had just listened to the swimming singles that released and then all of it when he released it on youtube. I cried after he passed. His music did way more for me and many of m/his generation thani thought. Im the same age as him. I grew up along side him almost. He didnt feel like a celebrity, he felt like a friend

[@masonorgill4319]

you nailed this. very professional. can’t believe it’s been 2 months.

[@waltwhitlockjr]

It still hits hard

[@kirkhope0205]

Over 2 years now and I still shed a tear when I hear certain songs of his and see his big dumb smiling face. Like how can something put a smile on my face and a tear in my eye at the same damn time this often.

[@beauvest9028]

i watched this video a little bit after it was released and years later i can say. this video changed my life along with swimming and circles. thank you

[@mintealuiandrei4259]

I know this will hit home for everybody going through these problems(me included). I just wanna say thank you tabby, thank you for taking the time and energy to make this beautiful video

[@gkeel1782]

I love the connections to Mac and real life problems, I love how u can put the situation in anyone’s shoes. I’m sorry, we all have our own problems of course but the internal struggles hold us back the most. We all miss Mac and see his internal struggle, learn and adapt to your surroundings, there’s always home somewhere.

[@thinduke95]

Took me well over a month to watch this cuz I knew it wouldn’t be easy.. absolutely fantastic job! RIP Mac. This video really is a tribute to him. 👍🏊‍♂️

[@kraevvv.z4085]

Man, THANK. YOU. This video is real, just as real as Mac’s album, I truly appreciate your work. Thank you for shedding the light on the message Malcolm was trying to give us. Love your vid, Love the album, love Mac, one of the absolute best to ever do it

[@melindadoes]

ugh congrats on making sure that this was your best work

[@purpleheartemojii3692]

This is my new favourite KZbin video. Thank you so much for this, I know I’m late to find this masterpiece, but I’m glad I found it. Better late than never.

[@rubenoliveira4647]

We are all proud of you. Maybe it really cant be shown through a youtube comment but for real, trust me and us, you will get better and you will evolve as a human. We are with you Tabs, swim!

[@davidbozz7859]

Dude. Awesome video. Thank you. One thing about the end, he tweeted that he wanted John brion to make the violins at the end of “so it goes” sound like “an Ascension to heaven” and then the night he passed he posted his very last video, it was the ending of so it goes playing on a record player. By himself in the dark. Erie stuff, thank you for the video. RIP the legend, many of us are still here today because of his music 🙏

[@teddyrickman1337]

I’ve really needed to see this. I’ve been struggling with thoughts like these for a long time, as I’m sure a lot of people watching this have. It’s relieving and ironically worrying to see that people are stuck in the same position. Thank you for giving the thoughts that a lot of us struggle with a voice, Tabby. We love and appreciate you for being honest.

[@carlosquintero285]

I hate myself for not listening to Mac long ago. Ever since his death I've listened to him and this beautifully explained everything. Thank you, rest up Malcolm.

[@jaidinireland1977]

this is by far the best video i've ever seen on youtube ever. this the shit youtube needs!! the shit social media needs!! with all this nonsense going on i feel like this would make any mac miller fan happy and content. you did amazing we STAN

[@JakeAdams27]

What an amazing video. Wonderfully payed homage to someone we loved so very much. Just want you to know that this username is a person with thoughts and feelings who absolutely adored Mac as a person and artist and has had a hard time with it everyday since that day. You should be very proud of yourself for this. I had never seen one of your videos before and I just want to say thank you so very much. It means a lot and I look forward to following and sharing with a person as genuine as you for a long time.

[@seanboyle4467]

Answer: It prevents you from DROWNING

[@junioro.1422]

[@miguelguerrero6615]

Exactly it’s really crazy how he carried that concept of drowning/swimming throughout his music . RIP to a legend ❤️

[@sickandpretty]

This is incredibly beautiful. I had the same feeling when listening for the first time. It’s like a sedative coming through my speakers. His final gift. I try to rationalize it by saying maybe we go when our job is done. At the moment of our final opus. I don’t know. Yes I do. I know I wanted more of swimming. I wanted that life to unfold and evolve. I’m from Pittsburgh, minutes away from blue slide park. Here, drugs are an epidemic and as common as a cold. We often go decades being “fine”. He definitely always was from where he was from. Thank you for making this.

[@CurtRinehart]

My favorite artist of all time. Felt like a close friend that I grew up beside. Such a talented and beautiful soul, taken from this Earth far too soon.

[@willtorres6385]

I almost never comment on KZbin videos. I felt like I had to, here. This is remarkable. Your analysis. Your metaphors. Your vulnerability. This should have 3 million views. You're incredibly talented and I hope you never stop creating art.

[@Ark0ma]

Wow. Perfect video. Mac left with his most challenging and personal album, as you said this must be the hardest point of his loss, apart from the incredible and highly respected human being he was. I think I will always remember my second listen of Swimming, right after we learned his death. It had such a huge impact on me. I'm having difficulties writing the end of this comment but just know that your video may have been just as therapeutic as this album was. You've been very brave for making such a personal thing. Thank you for people like you or me, this is important. Also I know that it must represent a huge amount of work, but this new format perfectly suits you, don't hesitate to make it again if you have time and more importantly if you want to.

[@OvO.edddy14]

I felt this immensely vro. My mental health made me shatter earlier this year. Feelings of not being good enough or not being where i want to be constant pressure from your “potential” and everything u could do but put on pause it fucks with u over time. I’m learning to love myself and feel good being with myself. Lotta love brudda. May not watch many of ur videos anymore but glad i caught this one ❤️

[@tevindavies4638]

Thank you, I feel like this was the closure I needed to finally accept mac's death. The album meant a lot to me and helped me finally confront my demons. This video is one of the best depictions swimming you articulated in such a way that when I listened to it now it felt like the 1st time again. Thank you and all the best with finding yourself.

[@Heffay]

"the sonic journey of macs spirit moving forward to the next life" dude holy shit i cant bring everything you touched on in this. havnt felt like this in a while. you did this right. thank you thank you thank you.

[@naterorrer6113]

Tabby, you are my favorite content creator on KZbin. Thank you for your creativity and insight on life. While I can’t fully relate to what you must go through every day, I understand how much mental health can have such a huge affect on some ones life. You truly care about your fans and I appreciate every video you put out. Thank you for allowing us to listen to great music with you and absorb the most diverse genre of music which is hip hop. You expand my taste in music and it really helps me cope with things that I go through. I think I and all of your fans agree that you are a wholesome human being, so thank you.

[@lilE712]

This is easily your best video, the amount of passion behind this shows. I’ve watched this multiple times. I’m listening to swimming and circles rn and this video is a great reminder on how great those records were

*This video is truly a work of art, a masterpiece at its finest* you are incredible Tabby

[@xTehOverDose]

I randomly got this is my recommendations and I’m so happy. This video is so perfect. Mac Miller will forever be missed, I hope one day some of his unreleased stuff gets put out there for the fans. I still can’t believe his gone.. thanks for the amazing video you sir have earned a subscriber

[@gavinsalinas9409]

This guy has inspired to literally write a song. The way he talked and explained everything made me realize more of my feelings. Dude you’re amazing

[@mitchellmouratov536]

Whoa your analysis of Perfecto kinda made me tear up. That's hard to know. God damn I'm sad again.

[@luukipuuk3537]

[@CrackSpooky]

Haven’t finished but already a classic tabby video we will remember as a channel forever 🙏🏽

[@tjthomas9797]

Tabby dude, I've just found you. But Jesus christ, besides being a huge mac fan since K.I.D's came out and this touching me to his death, the mental health is beyond relatable. I literally wanted to cry just because I feel we are so similar and this said the words I couldn't. I love you man

[@corbingriffith9423]

This is art in its purest form. Thank you for creating this, as you can see it doesn't and will never go unnoticed. Please never stop doing what you do, in this life or the ones that are to follow.

[@Haaausler]

This was so important, and tears were shed. It’s comforting, in a morbid way I suppose, to know that other people are still reeling over his death just as much as I am. I think about him every day. Nobody is ever truly alone. Thank you for this.

[@reece1810]

This was utterly gorgeous. Miss you more and more everyday Mac. Rest easy ❤️

[@youngtuna2385]

This is amazing. I don’t know what to say... this brought some closure where I thought there’d never be. You are not alone in your struggles. Stay strong man. Mac Miller’s legacy will live forever. May he Rest In Peace.

[@ianmuir4168]

wow tabby this is such an amazing video. As someone who deals with major depression this album (like you) hit me incredibly hard. It was so amazing to hear an artist express every feeling I couldn't explain. And finally after a couple listens it was the album that inspired me to get up off my ass and get help, so like Mac I could swim too. I loved your analysis on this amazing album and I hope your doing mentally alright! If you need more time to put out videos like this then please take as much time as you need. They're worth the wait. Thanks for making this, R.I.P Mac

[@deadlived8858]

Watching or listening to Mac always makes it feel like he’s still with us

[@rl20568]

Holy shit tabby this is so good on so many different levels in so many different ways keep doing you bro. Sometimes our minds are our worst enemies believe me I’ve been there don’t let anything get you do bro keep swimming

[@CM-vi9px]

Took the thoughts outta my mind, thanks I think anybody who feels like they alone on this needed this, I'm praying for whatever your heart desires bro, keep swimming

[@zachandbro]

A masterpiece of a video. Thank you for helping people remember who he was and the impact he had on others through his music

[@Wassab_4u]

Well made video, man. I wasn't a Mac fan until after his death. His tiny desk session popped up on my feed and it grabbed me. His love for music is contagious. I still don't care for his earlier work, but his live sessions where he surrounds himself around phenomenal musicians with all those funk, jazz, and r&b grooves really take me to a peaceful place. I agree that Swimming is a masterpiece. He's inspired me to push myself as a musician and I'm thankful for that.
