“It’s not been such a good day, honestly.” Good insight, Tom, when I ask people how they are doing, I try to be prepared for something other than a positive reaction. Helps me to be a better listener.
Mac had died by the time this record was released. “there is a whole lot more for me waiting on the other side” has quite a lot of meaning, meaning he may or may not have intended at the time of reciting them
Mac was a troubled guy that allowed us into his mind and struggle to help I believe but it was also therapy for him, it is wild to have watch his evolution thru the years. Wish his journey didn't end so soon
All the videos from this album were made after he passed and most of the stuff in this video relates to his life as well as the colors and shapes video, a lot of details
REST IN PEACE MAC WE REALLY LOST SUCH A GREAT HUMAN AND ARTIST HE GAVE SO MUCH JOY AND HAPPINESS TO SO MANY PEOPLE AND NOT JUST ONLY THOROUGH HIS MUSIC EITHER
Hey Tom, thank you so much for doing these reactions. This song and album has helped me through some tough times and you have inspired me to reach out to a therapist in my city. Hope you enjoy the rest of your night.
"Why I got to build something beautiful just to go set it on fire" I believe he’s taking about his everyday life where he has built this great career and all those great relationships and always destroys things and making them worse with his addiction etc.
Mac Miller suffered from depression and drug addiction throughout his adult life. He has a song from a very early mixtape called “Poppy” detailing his anguish of losing his grandfather who he felt closest to. I always took the lines about the other side and flying to be references to his eventual death due to his drug addiction which he often wrestled with. A good example of him wrestling with these concerns is the two part song Perfect Circle / Godspeed. Perfect circle is a more brag rap at first but starts to get dark as Mac recounts his drug and alcoholic tendencies and his relationship issues, then Godspeed opens with a voicemail from his older brother wishing him a happy holiday, and from there Mac raps about needing to sober up before he dies and details his use of cocaine and pain pills. The videos are fantastic and the insight of a therapist is really interesting.
Mac Miller grew up in Pittsburgh and was known as “Easy mac with the cheesy raps” when he was about 16-17 and as he kept growing up you can hear his music change into more meaningful and thought provoking as he battles with mental illness and falling in and out of love. He talks about his battle with drugs which is ultimately what killed him from an overdose in 2018. Personally, Mac’s album “Swimming” which was released my Freshman year of high school saved my life. I was suicidal and would listen to that album on repeat all day. If it wasn’t released I don’t think I’d still be alive. Mac Miller is one of the most uplifting rappers ever.
Thank you for this reaction Tom. I’m not sure if you got context from other comments but Mac Miller unfortunately passed away from an overdose. This was the first single released from his posthumous album after he passed. I remember sitting in my room when it came out with the video and crying a bit because it was so surreal. The lyrics “there’s a whole lot waiting for me on the other side” hit me so hard because it was like he knew it was coming when he wrote this song. It was the perfect first song to release after the tragedy for me. Especially with the last part of him having fun and smiling in the studio. Thank you again for the videos, love your reactions!
The fact the mystery song was one that my ex used to put on in the car.. kinda made me sit there and really pay attention to what he was saying because I think little coincidences like this happen so you can learn little things through your own though process. Great video! You’ve low key been my therapist for the past 3 weeks that I’ve been watching your content. Love your reactions especially the juice one’s, keep up the great videos and I hope life is treating you well. With good vibes and love :)
I lost my older brother to an overdose a few years before Mac Miller himself overdosed. He and i found Mac Miller together and both fell in love with his music. Certain songs will get to me each time i hear them, and this is one of them. Feels like i am in the mind of mac and my brother both. I love them both, and miss them terrivbly. I appreciate your reaction to this video, putting my thoughts into perspective. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
Hey, Tom if you choose to listen to more Mac Miller in the future I'd recommend Everybody or Come back to earth, both beautiful songs in their own way. I've been thoroughly enjoying the reactions and mystery week. Keep it up, your doing an amazing job! 😁
It was my first time hearing this song. I enjoyed it a lot. Ive known about Mac Miller for years but never gave him a chance. Thanks for your reaction. Play some more Mac Miller
Love this song. When my ex broke up with me, I was heart broken. This song kept me through it. So while this song hits a sore spot, I still love it. No kidding I had this song on repeat from 9am to 9pm until I went to bed. I appreciate you reacting to this song. RIP Mac.
What I love about his music is that it’s always up for interpretation. I see it as both sobriety..like the other side of the addiction and mental well-being…but I’ve also listened to it like fear of death, or ending something to start something else…or actual death..he was a pretty spiritual person…so I think it could also be even when it’s over it’s not actually over and that’s really helpful when you live in fear or anxiety/depression.
I love that I found this channel it’s exactly what I needed thank you. A little context on the song the artist Mac Miller was a famous hip-hop artist. Prior to the song coming out he passed away from a drug overdose he was suffering from a lot of depression anxiety. So when this song came out after his death and the album the song is on a lot of people took the song as a final goodbye or him explaining his feelings as to what led up to his final moments on earth. But I love how you broke it down and explain each individual lyric and gave your all your own interpretation.
Yessss thank you Tom for the Mac !!!!!! He passed away in 2018 and it was like losing a friend to me and many others. This means a lot man, thank you!!!
"Why can't it just be easy, why does everybody need me to stay" is something I've thought quite literally when having actively suicidal episodes. This whole song is a very good description of moderate-severe depression and where your thoughts go in a helpless way, you know you should be better, you know you could be better, but you can't seem to get out of your own way and do it, and you can't seem to muster the courage to end your struggle the other way, either. This song's struck me as a way to try and reach peace in that frustration, maybe because I'm there right now, maybe because the lyrics seem to point at a sense of hope tarnished with pain and self loathing. Either way I think Mac produced true art here, his music can be interpreted to mean many things depending on the subject experiencing it, as the best art pieces do.
This Song made me quit smoking!! With the lyrics "why I got to build some beautiful fortune, to go set it on fire" Mac miller accidentally overdosed. He had addiction problems. He managed to get clean, but still struggled. He was super humble. Wish I would have gotten to meet him. I LOVE YOU MAC!!
He passed away back in 2018 this song is off his posthumous album and the lyrics in each song are very hard to listen to being a fan. But still puts a smile on my face :)
I loved macs songs !! I wished he got help as he was sooo damn cool and talented!! The end of this song is very hard for me to hear and watch !! Rest easy Mac !!
i absolutely love these videos. it so interesting hearing your perspective on some of my favorite songs. mac miller means alot to me so your reactions to his songs are very interesting to me🖤
I don’t listen to that much Mac Miller. But this song is amazing. I’m a big juice fan so I watch all the juice reactions but the past two mystery’s have been some of my faveorite songs
If you didn't know Tom, he passed away from an overdose of alcohol, cocaine and fentanyl, and this song was released posthumously a year and a half late. ( idk, might make you look at the song differently) Great video though, I was waiting on this for awhile and it finally came! :D
This is one of the most impactful songs I've ever heard. It was a shared song between me and my baby brother as we related on a lot of mental health, spiritual, and philosophical ideas. He hung himself and this song amassed gravity that challenges my ability to adapt. It is to me an honest attempt to speak on a toxic trait that is programmed into us. A stigma is put on the honest approach to the "question" how are you. I have resigned to just replying something to the effect "far to complicated to sum up in a prepackaged palletable answer" or genuinely starting a conversation attempting to full disclosure answer to my best ability. We don't want to love the darkness in people. But it is a part of them and we could do better to not white wash it. Being seen and feeling understood can be profoundly healing.
Question for you Tom. Do you ever learn something mew from the songs you listen to? Like is there something that made to really sit there and think about what they said? Just curious lol hope all is well and sending good vibes your way
It seems like I have this happen with so many of the reactions! Thanks for this question Robin! I am trying to learn what they mean by the words and it’s hard when I don’t know the artists. Doing the NF journey has been the best example of me deep diving into thought about the lyrics😊👍
7:49 Ive worked some retail and whenever a customer replied its a bad day etc. I would always ask if they wanted to vent a bit. Some would and it would help others didnt want to but they were all a bit grateful i think.
Mac actually passed away in 2018 to overdose sadly but his music still lives on, i do recommend self care by mac tho, its just a well rounded and produced song by him, great reaction btw.
So near the very end of the video they show the Mercedes G wagon, that was macs car and it starts getting closer and then goes inside of the vehicle. Sitting in the front passenger seat is a dog the looks almost identical to his dog ralphie/Ralph sonic you look there is no one sitting in the driver seat, but if you look in the rear view mirror you can see macs face looking back at you.. symbolizing that he is gone. Also mac played almost every instrument.. and at the end he is walking into the otherwise, going into the light and we will never see him again... that's my little breakdown of macs video for you. He is my favorite artist, I named my dog after him, and I got a tattoo because of him. Macs first album dropped when he was 15 years old. From 15 years old to when he passed at 26 he made 13 mixtapes and 6 studio albums... in the span of 9 years he made 19 albums... he produced beats for countless artist and also took a ton of big artist on their first tours. He didn't just brag in his raps he made almost every kind of music there was. He would go into record stores and play a game he called record roulette. He would put on a blind fold pick 3 random vinyls (didn't matter of when they were made or what genre they were) and he would make a song out of those 3 albums. He was a special person. He he finally moved out on his own he was already a star artist and in an interview he talked about he rented his own uhaul and moved all his own stuff by himself because he wanted real life experiences and he knew being the star artist he was, that he wasn't going to get alot of those experiences. Mac was an amazing artist and an amazing person but unfortunately didn't get the love and credit for the critics until he had already passed. I hope you do more videos by Mac. Like I said he has aloy of different kinds of music, but right at the end his last 2 albums "swimming" and "circles" he really hit his stride and was making some of the best music i personally have ever heard. 1 more thing about his last 2 albums. They were made to compliment each other...the meaning of them were supposed to be "swimming in circles"... and the very last thing im going to say about the album circles I learned from a different music break down person... the album circles the very last song, the very last note of the album ends with a note that sounds off key... well it was put in there on purpose... because if you play it in a loop the last note that's off key... it hits perfectly to introduce the very first song on the album... thus creating a circle... If you made it this far down, thabk you for reading my interpretations of the album and mac, I hope you listen to more of his music and i want to thank you for your reaction. I can't wait to watch some more of your videos. Have a great day. Most dope That's forever
Yay!! Great reaction and choice of artist Tom! Mac Miller and Alice in Chains are my favorite ever! Can't wait for more Mac and for you to dive into more talented musicians 🙏
This song was written shortly before he OD'd if that puts any of it in perspective. I highly more off of his album "Circles" which was all written shortly before he died
This song was prophetic as he died of a drug overdose and this song was about how his drug use made his mangers and friends uncomfortable. "Theres a whole lot waiting on the other side" is literally talking about the afterlife. Ironically he never heard the finished album as he was mid-production of this when he died, hence the fact that the video is made with still pics produced posthumously
Honestly its awesome seeing how quickly your channel has grown! I must say that you and your son's work ethic is something to admire. Great job, Mac Miller is one of my favorites ❤️
And you may know this by now, but the video and song were released post-humously, that's why that video is mostly illustration and animation. Him walking off into the clouds is him in heaven.
Been here since the beginning and I remember u responded too me about this being nice if it brought money along the ride I prayed for yalls success and your almost there
Great reaction Tom - really enjoying mystery week so far!!! Your numbers are looking great too - an extra 20K + subs since the live stream!? Congratulations on all your success so far! Mac Miller isn’t an artist that I have on heavy rotation, but I always enjoy his music when I do listen. This is a great track and I think was one of the first his label released after he died 3.5 years ago from an accidental overdose, RIP Mac. The melody always reminds me of that Bruno Mars song that goes ‘I just don’t feel like doing anything, I just want to stay in my bed…’ Can’t wait to see what else you have in store for us this week!
Get everything I need then I'm gone. But it ain't stealing 🙏🧠 to me this line is referring to life in general, he was ready to go in my opinion. RIP legend ❤
Listen to falling down by lil peep and xxx tentacion. It’s a really good song. If you liked star shopping you’d like this. Plus it has a great story of xxx too who also died
I love Mac Miller. There’s a Mac Miller song for absolutely any type of mood I’m in. I can always relate to him and get so bummed knowing he’s not continually creating anymore. 😔
I don't know how much you've discovered about Mac since this video but he grew up in Pittsburgh. Went to the same high school as Wiz Khalifa. Always had a knack for music and started young and made some great music. Watching his career progress as I grew up was an incredibly personal thing, as he went through his party phase, I did too. As he sunk lower into his depression at the end, I did as well. If you start with the KIDS album and end on the Circles album, you can truly see that all the fame and money cannot cure someone's mental illness. He struggled with his and it unfortunately won in the end. RIP to the man, Mac Miller.
for me the biggest lyric in the whole song was " there's so much more waiting for me on the other side", personally the idea of being reunited with my loved ones who are now healthy and happy and getting to be happy and not have to experience any negativity for the rest of eternity is such a beautiful thought that it brings me to tears, I have been a mac miller fan for a decade or so and the music is just so good
My Favorite Mac Miller Songs are: Dang!, Carnival, and Frick Park Market. In no particular order. Frick Park Market was back in his earlier days. You can definitely see the progression of attitude and energy.
“It’s not been such a good day, honestly.” Good insight, Tom, when I ask people how they are doing, I try to be prepared for something other than a positive reaction. Helps me to be a better listener.
Thanks for the comment briz! Well said😁
Mac had died by the time this record was released. “there is a whole lot more for me waiting on the other side” has quite a lot of meaning, meaning he may or may not have intended at the time of reciting them
Unfortunately he passed away a few years back may he rest easy but this was great Tom! I'd love to see you react to Self Care by Mac Miller
He already did about a month ago :)
Mac was a troubled guy that allowed us into his mind and struggle to help I believe but it was also therapy for him, it is wild to have watch his evolution thru the years. Wish his journey didn't end so soon

The mystery week is soooooo good every song has been one of my fav songs ever
Thank you! We try our best!😁😁😁
I remember crying when this was released. It was just so sad to hear these lyrics after him passing. Ugh
my honesty tends to make people laugh but there are indeed awkward moments where I'm the only one amused and I go back to serious.
I would LOVE to see a video where you share your thoughts after reading comments and educating yourself on Mac
I've been requesting this forever, I genuinely love your channel
Thank you!!!!😊👍
I loved macs songs !! I wished he got help as he was sooo damn cool and talented!! The end of this song is very hard for me to hear and watch !! Rest easy Mac !!

Thank you! I’m glad it’s working the way I wanted it to😊
Such a feel good song from Mac. Great mystery song!
If you didn't know Tom, he passed away from an overdose of alcohol, cocaine and fentanyl, and this song was released posthumously a year and a half late. ( idk, might make you look at the song differently) Great video though, I was waiting on this for awhile and it finally came! :D
this is such a beautiful and tragic song
The white SUV during the video game scenes was his G wagon also. Thanks for doing these videos Tom on the legend that was Malcolm.
Hey Tom also react to Graduation by Benny Blanco, Juice wrld
This is one of the most impactful songs I've ever heard. It was a shared song between me and my baby brother as we related on a lot of mental health, spiritual, and philosophical ideas. He hung himself and this song amassed gravity that challenges my ability to adapt. It is to me an honest attempt to speak on a toxic trait that is programmed into us. A stigma is put on the honest approach to the "question" how are you. I have resigned to just replying something to the effect "far to complicated to sum up in a prepackaged palletable answer" or genuinely starting a conversation attempting to full disclosure answer to my best ability. We don't want to love the darkness in people. But it is a part of them and we could do better to not white wash it. Being seen and feeling understood can be profoundly healing.

Honestly its awesome seeing how quickly your channel has grown! I must say that you and your son's work ethic is something to admire. Great job, Mac Miller is one of my favorites ❤️
I would love to hear your reaction to "Love the way you lie" - Eminem and Rere
The most beautiful souls are the most troubled. We miss you buddy.
Absolutely love mac miller, I got a painting of him shortly after he died and I look at it everyday
That’s cool!😊👍
I was born in 2000 but I also grew up with the atari because my mom was an OG gamer and I can relate that it reminds me of atari, I’m only 23 too
And you may know this by now, but the video and song were released post-humously, that's why that video is mostly illustration and animation. Him walking off into the clouds is him in heaven.
rest in peace Mac. one of the greatest artist's of my generation and it isn't even close.
you always have such an interesting perspective on Things...I really Like your reactions
Thanks so much Peter!😊👍
@@ReactionTherapyOfficial No Problem

Great reaction Tom - really enjoying mystery week so far!!!
Your numbers are looking great too - an extra 20K + subs since the live stream!? Congratulations on all your success so far!
Mac Miller isn’t an artist that I have on heavy rotation, but I always enjoy his music when I do listen. This is a great track and I think was one of the first his label released after he died 3.5 years ago from an accidental overdose, RIP Mac.
The melody always reminds me of that Bruno Mars song that goes ‘I just don’t feel like doing anything, I just want to stay in my bed…’
Can’t wait to see what else you have in store for us this week!
Man you are so cool much love keep up the good work
Also Mac Miller sadly passed away a few years ago
Thank you😊👍
I didnt know what to expect from the mystery song nd what is it but one of my favorites. This song got me from some serious stuff man
First time commenter been here for a little over a month and love your thoughts and how they differ or are identical to mine
Thanks so much for commenting and for watching all this time! I’m glad you’ve enjoyed it😊👍
I can’t describe how much I love this song and album.
Hell yeah!!!!! RIP MAC MILLER!!!! THE JAM!!!
Thank you so much for reacting to this. If you think this is good, you might also love *Congratulations* by Mac . Super melancholic.
This is such an amazing song. Such a vibe
Such a fun and great concept of this weeks reactions. I like it
More juice!!!
Get everything I need then I'm gone. But it ain't stealing 🙏🧠 to me this line is referring to life in general, he was ready to go in my opinion. RIP legend ❤
Listen to falling down by lil peep and xxx tentacion. It’s a really good song. If you liked star shopping you’d like this. Plus it has a great story of xxx too who also died
I love Mac Miller. There’s a Mac Miller song for absolutely any type of mood I’m in. I can always relate to him and get so bummed knowing he’s not continually creating anymore. 😔
I don't know how much you've discovered about Mac since this video but he grew up in Pittsburgh. Went to the same high school as Wiz Khalifa. Always had a knack for music and started young and made some great music. Watching his career progress as I grew up was an incredibly personal thing, as he went through his party phase, I did too. As he sunk lower into his depression at the end, I did as well. If you start with the KIDS album and end on the Circles album, you can truly see that all the fame and money cannot cure someone's mental illness. He struggled with his and it unfortunately won in the end. RIP to the man, Mac Miller.
RIP Malcolm, miss you.
brakence would be an artist id love to see on this channel, keep up the great content!
brakence yes 👏
for me the biggest lyric in the whole song was " there's so much more waiting for me on the other side", personally the idea of being reunited with my loved ones who are now healthy and happy and getting to be happy and not have to experience any negativity for the rest of eternity is such a beautiful thought that it brings me to tears, I have been a mac miller fan for a decade or so and the music is just so good
My Favorite Mac Miller Songs are: Dang!, Carnival, and Frick Park Market. In no particular order. Frick Park Market was back in his earlier days. You can definitely see the progression of attitude and energy.
