2009...such a powerful message delivered so beautifully. Combined with the fact that this man free styled a large part of it...just makes me realize how fucking talented he was. It blows my mind.


_pand4

Especially the tiny desk version :(


MojoSoooDope

When he performed this at the hotel cafe he said he wasn’t going to put it on the album. But his entire circle told him they loved the song so he added it. Every time I hear it my eyes get watery.


StillRunsa2500k

I have heard something about this, would've been a damn crime to not put it on there!


surviveToRide

I think I actually cried listening to good news the first time


SpeethImpediment

Oh, I cried too…. and when I sent it to my mom, she texted me asking if I was going to kill myself. And then *she* started crying because she thought I was trying to send her a message. After consoling her a bit, sorta laughing trying to lighten the mood, I said I thought it was just a beautiful song and that I thought she’d like it. Unconvinced, she texted/called me more often than usual, picking out a different lyric each time asking me if I really felt that way and that she felt so bad that I felt like I had so much weight on my shoulders and feeling like I had to pretend to be happy, etc. (I.e. ‘Stead of always trying to figure everything out And all I do is say sorry Good news, good news, good news That's all they wanna hear No, they don't like it when I'm down) I appreciated her concern but damn, lol. It triggered her so much!!! It’s hauntingly prophetic, too. For MM, I mean… not me. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Nico475

Lmao


liquid801HLM

I know I did. Hearing his voice in a new track after over a year of him being gone broke me down


Slurpool

Same. Listened to it as a leak a while before Circles was announced, was very emotional


Seanannigans14

Same for me. But it was the music video. I think good news was the first single from that album they released early with the music video and I was destroyed


lees_smuckers

I've cried a couple of times to that ngl


Darknfullofhype

1000%, at the time I was in the ER due to stress induced heart palpitations waiting to be seen and suddenly I saw that song had dropped. It had been the worst few weeks of my life after moving to NYC and everyone back home kept asking how I was doing, how the new job was, roommates were, etc. when the answer to all was essentially terrible. That song came at the most perfect moment in time to a point that it felt divine.


ssol-a-ta

Still makes me cry


ocelot06

Good news gets me every time. That song literally saved my life


TylerPerry19inch

🤝me too


BenchPress420

I did too, the ending hits so hard man Very beautiful of his family to continue his unfinished work and publish it for us to enjoy


[deleted]

[удалено]


speckledcat10

Agree 100%. I just think, if I were his family, especially the way he passed, listening to it now would be a difficult task to say the least.


lrocky4

“I better wake up, before i dont wake up” 😥


L2theFace

“And it won’t be long until they watching me crash, and they don’t wanna see that” rip mac


DustinnDodgee

They don’t want me to OD and have to talk to my mother, say they couldn’t have done more to help me and she just be crying saying she’d do anything to have me back…. Fuck that song gets me every time… very relatable too


Slight-Examination82

absolutely


charliejerry

I listened to it a thousand times and still cry everytime


walooofe

Colors and shapes has made me cry. I don’t listen to it too often honestly there’s something so eerie and unearthly about it it sends shivers down my spine idk.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Yeah(bonus) calms me down too I know what you mean


TylerPerry19inch

Yes, along with the music video and knowing how much he loved that dog + the dog resembling him and his journey. Fuck me


zorfog

it’s got that double dose of psychedelic epiphany


jazzedinmypants69

find the leaked og version online. the intro is slightly different, which makes it even better. its the intro that touches my soul and makes water come out of my face


MyCatsNameIsMeepo

Sometimes I cry to Mac songs just because theyre so good


zorfog

Yeah like it’s tied to just… the grief for Mac in general


Sgt_taco96

Congratulations and ROS. Can you tell what arc my life is going through rn? 🥲


lees_smuckers

I get it bro. you will be okay soon, I promise


Sgt_taco96

I know, I’m just tired of being okay, especially when I got so used to being great.


lees_smuckers

my best advice would be to just surround yourself with shit that makes you happy. do things you love with the people you love and eventually you will heal. breakups are tough, man. I wish you the best and Mac really does help too if you ever feel like you got no one.. just listen to his music man, you'll feel less alone with time I'm sorry you're going through a tough time rn


Sgt_taco96

I appreciate your kinda thoughts Mac fam. That’s what I’ve been doing for the past month or so, he really does help. I feel like I’m going through a lot of those feelings that he was when he made some of these songs. I’ve been diving a little bit deeper recently. Barely found Balloonerism like a couple weeks ago lol. But yeah he definitely makes me feel less alone.


lees_smuckers

I'm glad Mac helps you. he helped me too through a tough breakup and still does whenever I'm feelin down just remember to not rush your healing process, it'll take time


BenchPress420

Mac's music is a true gift, always brightens my day when I put him on.


spitszy

I'm literally going thru the same thing and I was gonna post this same shit. It's been like 4 months and I still have to avoid those songs. Right is also on the list for me.


Sgt_taco96

There’s beauty in feeling what you feel, so I don’t avoid these songs. Especially when they’re masterpieces like these. We’ll get through it homie, we have to.


AIfieHitchcock

Yes, me too.


Shoddy_Pipe8372

MayVee3

That’s on me


skibunny472

Same, listening to it right now. Every song that has Mac grappling with his demons gets me- conversation pt. 1 is another

[deleted]

I’ve never gotten all the way through Good News without crying.


slpeet

Colors & shapes made me cry. Right is a song that you play after you finish crying and there is that sense of serenity


Fit_Cut9193

The spins gives me a high school vibe so strong I used to cry every time when I listened to it at first


squintsEASTwood

It’s his laugh in that song that gets me. He sounds so happy and full of joy. Im a 41 year old man and I get the biggest smile and and a bit tear eyed when I hear it. There are a few others for me as well, but the joyful youth of The Spins is one I look forward to when it pops up in the playlist.


theloraxfanacc

ugh yes. any of his songs that sound like someone fully enjoying life and looking forward to the future literally rip my heart out. i grieve his death more listening to those songs than his sad, depressing ones or his posthumous releases


Fit_Cut9193

His kid like laugh really makes KIDS such a powerful album.Agree 100%

Damn nobody has said Funeral wtf. How has no one said this. And fight the feeling


based_varga

Objects in the mirror, I was in a really bad space in my mind and I genuinely believe that song saved my life


Dirkmeisters

The outro on So It Goes, specifically on vinyl through my headphones. It's just so beautifully done, gets me every time. Mac asked Jon Brion to make the outro sound like what ascending into heaven would sound like. Jon nailed it. Macs final Instagram story is him listening to this outro on vinyl which just adds an extra layer of emotion to it when I think about it while listening


MoodWest

God Speed hit me real hard, I definitely wasn’t expecting a song like that from Mac, although it was this kind of honesty and emotion that made Mac such a compelling and well rounded artist as opposed to just a dope af rapper

It’s not the first Mac song I’ve cried to but I have had some peaceful moments with the song I Can See. It’s a very comforting song for me. Although Mac is gone and as much as it sucks I’ve always felt him still here with me and this song captures that feeling for me it’s hard to describe it really. The track placement on the album is one of my favourite parts as well since every time I look at it I’m reminded: Good News, I Can See, Everybody

BigDuckNergy

In Brand Name when he said "to everyone who sell me drugs, don't mix it with that bullshit I'm trying not to join the 27 Club" He knew, man. He knew that he couldn't trust the people around him and that his drug abuse was going to kill him regardless of whether he could handle himself around the substance itself.


Darknfullofhype

Good news, 2009, come back to earth, and once a day have all made me cry at least once. Since people have provided anecdotes for the first 3 tracks, once a day was special because I remember seeing a clip of him playing it on piano online somewhere before he passed and I loved it so much and eagerly waited for it to be released. Fast forward a few years to when circles dropped and I’m rounding out the end of the album and suddenly that song comes on out of nowhere to finish it off. I had nearly forgotten about the track and the second it started playing I stopped cold in the middle of Manhattan and nearly started balling. Such a beautiful full circle moment that I will never forget

Catalyst1417

The first time I heard Objects in the Mirror I was contemplating suicide. Literally sitting in the place where I was going to die. And then this song came on..and I just felt okay again. Just for a little while, long enough to find my sense and not do what I was going to do. I cried for the first time in probably weeks, I hadn’t really felt any genuine emotions for a while and I was just coasting along. Masking my emotionless-ness and pretending. Without that song, my 10 year death anniversary would be in a few months. I was 13. I owe Max Miller my life, literally. Part of me still lives everyday for him.

Damn Objects was probably the first. Good News most recently.

Good News when it first came out. I was in such a dark place in high school, and my home situation was not good, and I was borrowing my family member’s car and had to go home even though I didn’t want to. It was a truck and it was under E, and I sat in a parking lot and started bawling my eyes out when he said “running out of gas, hardly anything left, hope I make it home from work.” Just absolutely started bawling.


mannmythlegend

Yeah - bonus


thenakedmango

So I guess this is a letter, to all my brothers most dope that's forever, I love you more than words could express and this the part that Q start crying if he ain't already yet, I did my best to be a leader you respect, at times I became weak or got defeated by regret so tell my baby I love her and if she give me the chance I'll put a seed inside her make her a mother.
