It’s nothing but a slow slipping into a deep and finally restful sleep. It’s not this tremendous depressive swell threatening to take me under.

They want to hear about your great accomplishments at impossible rates. “So tired of being so tired,” Mac agrees. People want to hear how you sprung up and wrote 15 articles in two weeks, in a tizzy. I sat down to write, and instead of breaking down Mac’s meanings, I felt overwhelmed by the way Mac has, yet again, wormed his way into my psyche and brought me to understand myself. All they want is to know you’re doing better. “Good News” is Mac Miller’s first officially released music since his death in September of 2018. He tries to play his pain off. For sure, why not? There are no tears or fantasies about funerals. “Good News” unfolds several times over—with the first arc of the song pattering up and up, higher and higher, as Mac says, “I spent the whole day in my head.” It’s not a far cry from 2018’s Swimming opener “Come Back to Earth” (“I just need a way out of my head”). That’s how depression manifests for me. It’s packed with heavy, heady, and honest quotables, lines that will likely strike every wanting fan in their heart.

“Can I get a break?” Mac laments, and I realize he’s speaking directly to me. Do I wake up eventually? © 2020 The DJ Booth LLC. But no one wants to hear about that. This “overcoming” business. I hear his question and realize I’ve asked myself the same thing hundreds of times. At my lowest, I am wholly inconsolable. Don’t we all deserve to just lay down for a while? I intended for this piece to be a lyrical break down of a superb song by my favorite artist. Sometimes, when the Bipolar II really kicks in, I can reason a whole theory wherein I was meant to die during my brain surgery. Meaning, I’m in the way—everyone’s way. Let’s start with a trick question: What’s the difference in feeling between a manic episode and a depressive one? I’ve intended for a lot of things in my life. “Good News” is breathtaking. It peaked at number 17 on the US Billboard Hot 100, becoming his highest-charting single as lead artist. Yes, it’s worthy of critique and analysis. “It ain’t that bad / It ain’t so bad.”.

But “Good news, good news, good news, that’s all they wanna hear / No, they don’t like it when I’m down / But when I’m flying, oh, I make ‘em so uncomfortable.” That’s the trick question of this article. But no one wants to hear about that. When I think of taking my life, I think of a long-awaited and long-term slumber. There truly has never been a motherfucker iller.

The song was written and produced by Miller and Jon Brion, and was released posthumously on January 9, 2020, as the lead single from the album. Mac Miller’s “Good News,” the first single off his first posthumous release, Circles, releasing January 17, 2020, is five glorious minutes of gentle and tender singing and songwriting.

When he slips into his achy vocal, we know he is as sincere as humanly possible. Original material is licensed under a Creative Commons License permitting non-commercial sharing with attribution. It looks like ten articles in a week and pitches galore, but it feels like holding your breath for hours. All people want is good news, good news. There’s a whole lot more for us, waiting. Right on time, like he always does, Malcolm hears me out and puts our communion on wax. It’s the wish for some peace of mind for a prolonged period, maybe forever. When Mac says that he hopes he makes it home from work, what I hear is a plea. He is giving over as much of himself as he can muster. It’s nothing grand and ceremonious. It’s incredible how suicidal ideation can seize you in broad daylight. “It ain’t that bad, it could always be worse / I’m running out of gas / Hardly anything left / Hope I make it home from work,” Mac continues on the hook of “Good News.” There’s something about your art and your work becoming one, and people thinking you’re okay because you’re producing. Few things feel as natural as our communion. Meaning, I’m so miserable because there’s no place for me here.

When you’re flying higher than you were ever meant to soar, and when you’re taking off without warning, you feel sick and disoriented. When Mac says, “Oh, I hate the feeling, when you high but you underneath the ceiling,” I hear him in my spirit. When you’re so low your vision fogs and the darkest moments feel like the most natural, you feel just as nauseous and undone.
He’s just doing a little spring cleaning up there. " Good News " is a song by American musician Mac Miller from his sixth studio album, Circles (2020).

They want to look up to you while you’re busy straining against the ceiling. As with “Come Back to Earth,” Mac laments his time—not in his head, but on earth itself. This “living” business… It’s all perpetually tiresome to an incomprehensible degree. Since 2016 and the start of Mac’s third creative renaissance, singing has become a trademark of Malcolm’s. Meaning, I’ve broken the timeline. Every little thing you do for yourself results in three more little things to do until your entire life becomes rife with little things.

That’s what suicidal ideation looks like to me, too. True to his word, with Mac, things are better together.

It feels like being encased in tar. So when Mac Miller sings, “Good news, good news, good news, that’s all they wanna hear,” I feel him in my heart. That’s Mac Miller’s magic—a magic that will never dry up. Mac Miller’s “Good News,” the first single off his first posthumous release, Circles, releasing January 17, 2020, is five glorious minutes of gentle and tender singing and songwriting. Mac wakes up, eventually, too. So when Mac sings, “Maybe I’ll lay down for a little / Instead of always trying to figure everything out,” I know what he means. It’s a new year, Circles is coming, and life is still so precious, but my goodness… Life is exhausting. Sadly, I was not allowed to make every Mac Miller love song his best love song. People are down for your journey so long as recovery is linear, but no one heals on a simple straight line. And then there’s the feeling of being a burden. Sure, you’re making yourself better, but who has the energy for constant self-improvement? It’s much more romantic to think of the tragic writer sitting at their desk with a bottle of whiskey, cigarette butts littered about, and a body, on its final breaths, splayed over the desk. That’s the sickness of a manic episode, of knowing you can’t come down, you can’t break free, of knowing you cannot go anywhere. Yes, it’s a beautiful song.
Malcolm’s spoken voice tiptoes around the light pluckings of a guitar. My obsession with words and creating is a fruitful byproduct of my illness, but it comes at a cost. “I am still learning about Mac, learning about what his last moments were. My personal “Good News” story is but one of millions sure to surface. And can I blame them? The thought of suicide, of ridding myself of myself to ease the burden, comes at the most mundane times. Meaning, it’s time for me to go. When I feel my best, my visible and accessible best, I’m usually seconds away from a manic romp. “Why does everybody need me, to stay?” he asks. I imagine myself in the wee hours of the night or morning, writing, hoping I make it to the other side of the piece with my sanity. When I am at my worst, no one knows what to say or how to help me.

Within Mac’s music, I found my “somewhere to be.”, “I intended for this piece to be a lyrical break down of a superb song by my favorite artist...”. When he’s not speaking to us, his voice slips into a horizontal melody, one that lulls and coos. I carry this tremendous fear paired with a pang of equally sizable guilt for being alive. I had to write about “Good News” honestly. But I can’t break this song down without telling you all that it means to me to hear Mac’s voice in 2020, to listen to his voice and know he’ll never stop being there for us MacHeads. But that’s not how life works. But who wants to hear all that? This “save yourself” business. I guess that is why I am crying.”, “Weight of the world, I gotta carry my own”.
