Director: Matthew J Blake
"Hi Friends,
I wanted to share a once-in-a-lifetime experience with all of you. About 10 years ago I was in a composition class at USC music school. I wrote a small piano piece that I never fully finished. I had dreams of expanding the piece into a piano concerto with a full orchestra but of course, those dreams were too extravagant for reality. I eventually moved away from a music career, started settling into my work at the Gary Sinise Foundation, and then got slammed with battling Chordoma, a very rare type of cancer that eventually metastasized. The music I wrote got tucked away in the “save” category on my computer. Now, 10 years later, I found a way to write music again in my hospital bed. In addition to getting back in touch with a producer friend from college, Oliver Schnee, I recovered my old piece and I decided to go for it! Time is precious and I want to take advantage of the times that I feel strong. The result has been incredible collaborations with members of the Lt Dan Band and my buddy Oliver Schnee to finally finish writing and recording 'Arctic Circles'. Please enjoy!"

Dear Mac,
I am so grateful you met God with the same grace that you met life. Sitting at the right
of our Lord Jesus Christ, you are hearing and creating Heaven's glorious sounds while watching over your family and this world. RIP soldier.
Gary and family, I am praying for you and know the legacy you are leaving this world in thought and deed shall never go unnoticed, and we Americans and the rest of the world, see your love and belief that the best is yet to come.
In gratitude,
Someone who loves what you all stand for ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Mac has his wings now and is soaring high. Blessing out to his family and friends. Such an inspiration.
Just came after Ben Shapiro's show- my 5 year old said "I love this!" And I do, too. So beautiful.
Me too...Our son was diagnosed with ATRT- Similar cancer to Mac's. He's still battling we just had our 1000 day with him this Veterans Day. Sickness can break you or grow you but it will make you appreciate the time you have with your family so much more. God I hope to see my son make it to 33 💙❤🩹
Prayers for your son.
@@TomSearing praying for your family. ❤️
Yea I stopped mid interview to come listen
Same
Mac…your music lives on. Thank you for working so tirelessly on this beautiful parting gift ! 🙏💜
Gary, I watched your interview on a video a few minutes ago and was wishing I could hear Arctic Circles. I scrolled on through U-Tube, and there it was! It was so very beautiful, and as I listened to it and watched Mac, I could just imagine him resting in the arms of Jesus, happy and pain free. I know very well the path you and your family are on right now as I lost my 23 year old son 16 years ago to suicide. No parent should ever have to endure the pain of losing a child and without my faith I wouldn't have survived it. I'm sure you are leaning on yours right now, and that's what will carry you through. I love you and pray God's comfort and blessings on you and your family, knowjng that one day we'll all be reunited with our children ❤ 🙏
So beautiful. He will live on in this song and continue to touch people with it. A beautiful legacy.
I just listened to Mac’s dad tell his story on the Ben Shapiro Show and was curious so I googled the song. I can’t describe how overcome with emotion I was just as soon as the music started. I can’t imagine being in Mac’s position with a cancer that would ultimately shorten his time here, but there’s an optimism in the sound of this music that feels contrary to how he must’ve felt at times during this fight with cancer. I love the human spirit and I believe the peace that only God can give was guiding him as he composed this. All that going through my mind had me sobbing on the first note. I pray that God wraps up his family and that Mac’s story is a reminder of God’s peace and love for His people.
“You have made my life no longer than the width of my hand. My entire lifetime is just a moment to you; at best, each of us is but a breath.”
Psalms 39:5 NLT
O..M..G. Today I read about Mac's story , through an interview with Gary online, and came to find Mac's channel, to attempt to get a glimpse of his music. .. What I can say is that this video, this MUSIC, this exquisite.. exquisite .. exquisite piece of music has had me sitting with tears pouring down my face literally at how beautiful it is. Secondarily , it's the knowledge too, that the beautiful mind - the forever 33 yr old Mac Sinise who created this has left this as his Opus Dei.. From the moment the piano and violins played their first notes wtihin seconds of the song opening, it wasn't a case of listening to this music, it was literally a case of being wrapped in this glorious melody, and the sensitivity of the rendition by the talented talented musicians..
What an experience.. What a tragedy - yet what a triumph... My heartfelt tears and condolences to the Sinise Family.. .. Rest in Peace Mac.. (believing as I do - that there is no such thing as death, gods, how I look forward to one day stepping into my own next life, to come find what you've continued to create in your now - "Next Life" .. Bravo , Beautiful Man )
RIP Mac. Your father wrote a beautiful piece about you. My sincere condolences to your family.
Mac wrote and composed this song
@@tkx7he is probably referring to the piece that Gary wrote on the GSF website.
It's why I'm here 🙏😢
@@aden3599I can’t find it on gsf site and would love to hear it. Is it titled so I may find it easier? Thank you ♥️
What a powerful testimony of faith from a young man who left a mark in this mortal world that will live long and follow him into heaven. I’m sorry you had to lose him and yet have the comfort of knowing he’s playing music in heavenly places. The sound of his heart goes on forever. God bless you all until you’re reunited again. ❤
Mr. Sinise and the entire Sinise Family, I just watched your interview on Ben Shapiro where you talked about this video and immediately went to watch it. What an inspiration you and your son have even to countless people who go through tragedies and bumps in the road of life and don’t believe anything can be positive. Thank you for sharing this journey with us, thank you for all that you do and have done to create your foundation which has been to work tirelessly on behalf of our Military. Most of all, thank you for being a loving Father to your amazing children, especially sharing your son’s journey with us. My sincere condolences to you and your family on the death of your son earlier this year, but there is so much to celebrate in his short life and I hope this song and the many you have discovered give you comfort in your time of grief, knowing he is with our Lord. God Bless you and your Family.
I just saw Mr Sinise on Ben Shapiros show and listened to Macs story then came to listen to his music. I'm so happy for you, Gary to experience such beauty in your child. He's a gift to all of us. His music is so honest and personal. Perfection.
Thanks Mac for your life, story, family and music!
And thanks for you Gary, father with a heart of gold!💖🙏🏽🌺✌🏽

Close your eyes, through this music your soul soars above the treetops and away to a place of purity. God Bless you Mac, rest in peaceful heaven.
What a wonderful gift Mac left for his family and everyone. My condolences to the Sinese family 🙏❤️🙏
Damn! This kid could have written Hollywood scores. You can feel the flow of the music so well.
I would go as far as to say he would have. I hear John Williams influence in there so much. Having watched his documentary only yesterday. As someone who studied film composing and will always treasure the craft, the emotion in this piece is mind blowing. Clearly a gift from God who created Mac. Only a short time he had, but a testament to endurance and not letting an evil like cancer take away his love
Absolutely GORGEOUS! Other-worldly talent. Rest in Paradise, Mac. Play music with the angels
Oh so beautiful ❤️ My heart is singing and Crying.... RIP Mac. Rest joyfully with our Lord.
What a wonderful tribute to Mac's life/talent as a musician. RIP Mac.
That was lovely. When we trust in Jesus we know that Mac is no longer in pain, rejoicing with the Lord. May our Saviour be your comfort.
Most cancer stories are filled with anger, suffering, bitterness & grief. The fact that he was able to do this reflects his beautiful soul and the love of his wonderful family. May he rest in peace.
Arctic Circles, from the very first notes, captured my heart. I did not realize how uplifting it would feel...it felt like I was soaring. As if I was an eagle, gliding high over the white, frozen land Mac described as his vision for this piece. Such beautiful music...seamlessly inspirational. I'm deeply sorry for the loss and pain his family, all who loved him, are enduring. What joy Mac must have felt, hearing his labor of love played by these talented musicians. It was obvious they played from deep within their hearts for him. And now, we all have the gift of Arcric Circles to lift our souls. Mac, thank you. ❤️
Gary - I’ve stood where you stand, as I lost my 37 year old son almost seven years ago. The loss of a child (even as an adult) is beyond any pain that is imaginable. We, too were fortunate to be surrounded by wonderful and supportive friends.
Artic Circles is beautiful. I know my own son, Matthew who was a musician would love it!
Sending you all the love in the world.
Sorry for your loss.
I’m so very sorry for your loss y’all are living every parent’s worst nightmare hugs and love
** correction, my son was almost 27. Slip of fingers
@@smedeiros86 thank you
@@allisonwest2088 thank you. Not a day goes by without him in my thoughts. A gentle soul. He gave so much. The world was a better place bc he was in it. My sense is he and Gary’s son were made of the same “stuff”. It is my greatest hope that they exist in another space/time making beautiful music.
Wow. I’m sitting on my break after listening to Ben’s interview and man.. this brought me to tears. So sorry you had to go through that pain Mac, I hope you’re composing beautiful music in heaven. Rest in peace ❤
Dear Sinise Family,
Your son’s heart has found its rest in Jesus, in whose sufferings he shared., and surely Mac’s beautiful music which reflects such great truth and beauty, is wafting even now through the streets of Heaven in tribute to our good and faithful Father God!
❤🙏 May our merciful Lord comfort you as only He can.
RIP Mac, just came from your Dads interview with Ben Shapiro and this music is honestly brilliant. Such a tragic loss for your family and the Music Industry
Beautiful. I have no doubt Mac will be welcomed back into the loving arms of his Savior. May God grant the Sinise family solace from their heartache.
Beautiful song Gary. As a father myself, I am so sorry for your loss.
Rest in peace Mac.
Amazing piece of music... Thank You!
Absolutely beautiful! I was unaware of Mac until Gary was on the Ben Shapiro Show and I saw his segment on there talking about Mac. He truly was such a talented human being! I am so sorry for your loss, Gary! I can’t thank you enough for sharing your son with us in such a beautiful tribute to his life and legacy. God bless!
Absolutely beautiful!! Gary’s interview on the Ben Shapiro show brought me here and I’m definitely grateful for that!
Wow! The Sinise family has lost a son and the world has lost a truly gifted composer. Amazing music. Thank you for sharing such beauty.
What an inspiration Mac is. God bless his family and may be RIP.
Beautiful song! The sound of Mac's loving heart. RIP sweet soul.
You are In heaven you are playing beautiful music with the angels ❤. Rip
This music is so peaceful and this world needs peace now more than ever. I am weeping right now.
R.I.P This is so unbelievably beautiful. What a gift to leave your loved ones.
Just read that Mac passed away in January of this year. Though his physical body is gone, he lives on through this amazing piece of music. To know that he faced many challenges finishing this piece makes it all the more inspiring & beautiful. RIP, Mac. A piece of your courageous heart will always live on through this breathtaking musical masterpiece.
All the songs are beautifully made. There's something pure and joyful about them. Literally cried the whole time listening to Arctic Circle. My condolences to the Sinise family, thank you for gifting us with these songs.
Sounds like Heaven to me. God Bless you Mac!
Can you imagine a snowflake being whipped through the air in a snow storm, dancing crazily all over the place just swirling madly through the air with millions of other snowflakes with no aim. Then as the storm begins to dissipates the same snowflake becomes slower and elegant with its dancing as it gathers purpose floating about, gently glistening in the reflecting whiteness of the scenic backgrounds as it softly sways downwards and finally settles upon the freshly laid snowed carpet on the ground, this beautiful music reminds me of that, perhaps the imagery influenced by the title of the song, nevertheless it’s beautiful and I can only imagine the young man would have created a lot more exquisite music had God not called him back home, and with jealousy he is probably creating masterpieces for the angels. Much love and respect for his father, family and friends, may they find comfort and peace in the music he left behind. It’s never ‘goodbye’ but only ‘I’ll see you later’
Darn eyes blurry... RIP young man. Thank you for the absolutely beautiful gift of Arctic Circles
That was such a powerful and beautiful piece of work that needed to be shared with the world. The fact that Mac felt compelled to finish this composition despite his failing, debilitating physical condition makes me think that this inspiration flowed through him from a higher power. Thank you for sharing his work and his story. What a special human being he was. My condolences to Mac’s entire family.
What an absolute beautiful song. RIP Mac.
To leave a mark of beauty in the world is to love God and fulfill our purpose in being. What a beautiful piece of music that tells a stranger all he needs to know. Mac, may your memory be eternal.
I was moved to tears by this beautiful song. Thank you for leaving us with this precious gift, Mac. May your memory live on in your music forever. 🙏❤️
I just read an amazing tribute by your Dad; which directed me here. Blessings to all grieving your departure from this Earth. 💛✨
RIP. Thank you for sharing. You will live on forever in your music and family.
I heard Gary on the Ben Shapiro show on the DailyWire+ today give a poignant account of Mac's life and his music. He mentioned that this song was on here. Very thankful to hear such a lovely composition. How sad his life is gone but what great talent that has been saved here.
Rest in peace. Your music is breath taking. My deepest sympathies to your family.
Dearest Sinsie Family,
This is absolutely beautiful. We know Mac is in heaven making music. God Bless each and everyone of you.
RIP Mac. May you enjoy the music of god in Heaven.
What a stunningly beautiful gift Mac has left his family and the world.
With the death of one so dear, we feel that empty space because we were blessed with someone who loved us so beautifully it occupied an entire part of our soul.
Mac's stunning music is a poignant final loving gift.
God bless the Sinise Family.
My heart goes out to Gary and rest of his family. I have found the charitable work, and all theispiring love, compassion and his life simply awesome. RIP MAC. GARY, I WAS A CARETAKER FOR MY HUSBAND WITH ESOPHGAEL CANCER AND WATCHED IN AWE THE CIURAGE IT TAKES WITH ALL THE PAIN, ETC. SO, GOD GIVE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY GREAT COMFORT, I PRAY.
Ben Shapiro's interview with Gary Sinise brought me here. Tearing up. May God rest his soul.
“Wherever a beautiful soul has been there is a trail of beautiful memories.” -Unknown
Brought tears to my eyes, so lovely!
Just heard this beautiful music for the first time today. Thank you to Mac and the Schnee’s who carried this from Mac’s college days and allowed us to hear it following his passing. I loved this evocative piece.😢
We can definitely feel God's presence while listening to this masterpiece. T H A N K Y O U! ❤
Gary, I’m a big fan of yours. I just read about what happened to Mac - I’m Brazilian, so I hadn’t seen anything about you and your family until now. I hope you can feel your son's presence when you listen to his amazing music. Thank you for continuing to share with us, even while enduring the pain of losing your child. God bless you.
this is the legacy of this young man. taken far too early, but still managed to create something for the world to remember and know him by.
It's not goodbye Mac...You know, you and your loving family will one day be together again in heaven. I love how you inspire so many by your tenacity in life with your gentle strength. God just added one more beautiful soul full of music for His heavenly choir. Rest in peace with our gratitude...and prayers.
Just learned Mac’s story. Beautiful song, I felt winter 😢 but then came the spring and peace……
Wow! ❄️ You are an inspiration, Mac. May you Rest in Peace. God bless your family.
I just saw Gary on Fox this morning and heard this beautiful piece. It brought me to tears and brought me here to watch the video. I have always loved and admired Gary Sinise but I never knew about Mac. This is beautiful Mac thank you for sharing it with the world. ❤️
R.I.P. Mac. Thank you for blessing the world with your music.
Mac, your beautiful swan song. You left the world with a beautiful gift....❤😢
Thank you, Mac. Absolutely beautiful and brought tears to my eyes. I bet you're composing beautiful music for God and Jesus at this very moment.
What a God-Given Gift You can almost see him stands and Mac had and how he used this talent to create the most amazing and beautiful music. You can almost see him in Heaven standing and singing with a choir of angels. God bless his beloved family who will join him one day. It’s not goodbye, but see you later. ♥️🙏🏻🙏🏿🙏🏽🙏🏾🙏🏼♥️
Bravo! Bravo! Never have I been to a place so beautiful, my heart free and my heart so warm. I came full circle at the northern lights and found a peace from a world that knows no peace…. I found a breath released that I never before could find…you inspire me to make that peace , that beautiful Arctic travel reality. God bless you, you are a brilliant musician.
Amen 🙏🏻 ❤
When it's our time. This is what I imagine the music will be.
You've made your Dad so proud of you I'm sure! Your dad is loved by old veterans like me. God bless you both!
Mac Senise was a gift from God. His music will carry his spirit through every life that this touches. Its whimsy, grace, and power lift the soul to its highest point. I am grateful this music was released into the world and all who hear it will be as inspired as I have been by it.
What an incredible gift Mac had to be able to bring such joy and beauty to this world. His father watched on with so much love and pride. My heart breaks for Mac's family.
Found this today after learning of the passing of Mac Sinese. What a beautiful composition...moved me to tears. "Where words fail, music speaks" Hans Christian Andersen.
Your music warms the soul. You can see the pride of your family and friends of your accomplishments!
I cannot believe what I just heard, may be the most beautiful piece of music I've ever heard, thank you
As a musician myself, this brought tears to my eyes. I hear more than one movie soundtrack in the future with this piece. Thank you, Mac for having the courage, fortitude and commitment to write “your story” and share it with us.
Just heard about Mac and his music on Ben Shapiro Show, Gary Sinise was a guest telling the story. Very tragic, but I'm excited to get into the music. RIP.
💫 ❤️🔥 UNBELIEVABLY MOVING to one’s SOUL❣️I’m an IOF Veteran in which I struggle with PTS/anxiety …. THIS 🎶 was so relaxing, I had tears streaming down my face: not only in amazement at your work, but the feelings and peacefulness it evoked in my mind. 🫡 This is by far one of the most BEAUTIFUL pieces of music that my ears have EVER heard 🙌🏼 Thank you for this gift: You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers 🙏 Please give us MORE MAC 🎼!
This is magical, thank you for sharing your gift with the world. RIP Mac
RIP dear Mac❤🙏. Blessing and prayers for Sinise's family✝️🙏
Wow, this is gorgeous, I can imagine skating to this on a frozen lake. I hope an Olympic skater finds this music. This piece has a long future, thank you for the joy. RIP Mac.
Beautiful. RIP MAC. I lost my Dad to cancer, I pray someday we might not have to lose these lives to these diseases.
Also .thank u Gary Sinise for showing this wonderful man on tv today ..GOD BLESS YOU ALL !!
Rest in Peace young man. I have read so many wonderful articles about you in the past week. You came from a good strong family and your own fight was courageous. What I loved about an article I read was how strong you were in your Catholic faith. That is remarkable, and that makes me so happy. It is also remarkable for a young person to be so strong in one’s faith. God Bless you and your family. I would bet anything that you are in heaven.
As a mother of an adult child who struggles with devastating health issues, I was brought to tears by the unadulterated, ethereal, and optimistic music that has come from Mac’s heart. BRAVO!
The hardest thing in the world is to see your child suffer. I wish i could trade places either my son😢
Thank you for sharing your beautiful gift with the World. God bless you!
Wow..just saw u on tv , the song, Shenandoah was so wonderful, I cried !! Ur wonderful , thankyou
Mac - thank you for creating this amazing piece while you struggled with such a horrible illness’s. God bless you - rest in peace and much love to your family!
I picture Mac’s spirit soaring through this music. I feel lifted with joy; unburdened by the gravity of this earth and its constraints.
I just saw your father on fox news ,this piece of music was just so awesome,it brought tears to my eyes.
What a God given talent Mac shared with us. It is absolutely beautiful! I know you are in heaven sharing your lovely music with all the other Lord's Angels. God bless dear man.
Thank you🙏🏻🎹
Dear Sinise family. What a beautiful life your son shared with the world. Its apparent he has awesome & blessed parents! May God bless you all! In prayer & loving thoughts to all of you! ❤️
Oh my. Just got onto this listening to his Father on DW. I love, love, love the Luna and Lars from 8 yrs ago. And this Artic Circles brought me to tears. Such a talent. Shall certainly be buying the album. Heaven is certainly blessed to have Mac's music now in its ears. RIP Mac ❤
Pleasure having you at Sunset Sound❤
I’m imagining someone running through the snow having a blast reuniting with a loved one or finally achieving what they have always dreamed of.
As a cancer survivor I am heartbroken we lost such a talented young man.The music 🎵🎶 was incrediblely beautiful ❤️
Comfort to Mac's parents & siblings GOD bless you.✝️💕🙏
Incredibly amazing song. MAC has left his mark for all of us to enjoy. My thoughts are with you all Sinise family. May you be comforted by the memories of Mac
This beautiful piece moved me to tears. God bless you Mac. 🙏🏻❤️
I have been so blessed to find out about what Mac and Gary have been doing with their lives. What beautiful people and how wonderful that Mac will be in the arms of his saviour after his horrendous battle with this awful disease. Rest in peace brother- you are a pure blessing
May the Sinise family be further comforted knowing you have given a gift to us all, this gifting of Mac’s heard in this studio and in YT.
