Watching Movies With The Sound Off// Part Four (Final Part)

REMember

This is arguably the most depressing song on the album. It is about one of Mac’s old friends who recently passed away. In the first verse of the song he talks about his friends death, and how it has impacted/impacting him. It’s super depressing. My favorite verse in the whole album is the ending line to the first verse in this song. “You had a girl, I kinda wish you knocked her up. So I could meet your son and talk you up.” This line gives me the gnarliest chills literally every time. I guess it just really hits me on another level talking like that, like how much he misses him. The next versus include Mac trying fathom his friend being gone, and giving advice on how to deal with stuff like this. The chorus for this song is really cool. It reminds me of an old school depressing song, and I really like those vibes. This is a perfect song to listen to in a very mellow or bummed out mood, so I wouldn’t recommend listening to it if you are in any other mood.

This one I’ve been waiting to blog about for quite a while now. It is one of my favorite songs of all time, and easily my favorite on the album. Talk about chills, I am not kidding at all here, I get the chills throughout the duration of this song. You read right, the entire time. I guess it’s a mix of how I listened to this song quite a bit when I was going through some hard times last year, how I can relate and sympathize to what he’s saying, and the ridiculous lyrics and flow. This is just hands down an amazing song. But I do have to say that you have to be a certain kind of person and in a certain mood to listen to this song. I know plenty of people that I share musical interests with, who just HATE this song. And I can never figure out why, but I love it. It’s always that song that I put on when I’m bummed out, having a hard time, or just need something deep. I hope it can do the same for you. The music video for this song is pretty intense and explicit, so beware. If you would rather listen to just the audio, you can here.

Hope you enjoyed this rather long post about Mac. I’ve really been playing around with the layout, so I’m curious for your guys’ feedback on it. Also, be sure to hit me with any other feedback you may have, including requests. Much thanks
