From streaming his songs to a few dozen people on Twitch to now being on Genius, I’m so proud of him.
HEY ALONDOR
so happy i was there, its craaaazy how much hes grown with his music.
hi alondor
Good afternoon, Alondor.
Hello Alondor
whos back rewatching this now that he revealed he was high during this 😭
FR
FRR
He was?!!😊
LMAOO
@@lullabypie5608 mhm he said it during his and Quackity's 3rd annual wine stream 😭😭
It’s honestly amazing how he went from fans asking in chat for him to explain songs in a stream to explaining it on genius!!! I’m so proud of him
i feel rlly proud of him too, watching him grow from minecraft content all the way to peforming at glastonbury and being on the radio
i honestly feel like a father figure at this point-
This is so much better knowing he was SO high or hungover
Edit: guys ik he was high :3
Fr
he was hungover :D but this was still funny af knowing
@@itea_emmahope he was def high LOL
@@itea_emma actually I think he was high, he just couldn't say that on twitch because he wasn't sure about tos :)
oh thank u :D @@M1KEYWAY
its crazy just how fast Will, Ash, Joe and Mark have grown. From having a main source of listeners being fans of Will's Solo music and his Twitch streams when the band has just started, to going on to be a part of Glastonbury's BBC Music introducing stage where so many famous musicians have stood and now being part of Genius. I am genuinely so proud of LoveJoy and I can't wait to see their next EP
Aged well
I’m almost in tears by how big this band that we used to call little has gotten. I’ve been there since 2019 and I remember being excited when Wilbur’s ycgma album/ep came out. I’m so happy for you guys and I hope you know what great impact you’ve had on this world and your community.
same is so cool
Same its beautiful how fast he has grown
i’ve been in here for 5 years. i loved watching his stuff on for memories. karen please come back. im so proud of him
YCGMA coming out was both exciting and depressing as hell.. because it’s YCGMA
sometimes when artists read their lyrics without singing it sounds awkward but this sounds like poetry being read by a poet
by a hungover poet at that.
Thats so fuking true ma
@@slaughtrrbeach so a poet? lolol
@@slaughtrrbeach damn you predicted him being high in this interview
@@slaughtrrbeach*cough* partially high *cough*
I love hearing Wilbur talk about his songwriting process. He's very down to earth with it, and very earnest :) he has so much passion and life in him, and that always comes through in his lyrics. I too love the concept of dramatising misery; it feels a very fitting way to share painful experiences, in a world where bad things often happen for no particular reason; there is a black comedy in that, and I love the way Lovejoy incorporate that into their music. They're a phenomenal band, and Wilbur's a great writer!!
He's down to earth and yet he was somehow up in the clouds for this video 😂
@@sky.is.winning he has gone on record and said he was under the influence of something before this interview, possibly due to nerves. That might be the "in the clouds" vibe you're getting
I'M SO PROUD OF OUR LITTLE BAND ❤❤ can't believe lovejoy is growing so much that they've got on the radio and now made a video with genius, it's so cool
not so little anymore 😔
I heard this song on the radio yesterday. Then I accidentally got my parents into lovejoy
Lovejoy was never little
@@builtinaday_2373 not little, but not big
Remember we were here from the start guys !
The fact that Lovejoy is on Genius shows how much they've gone from being a small band to be a well known band with great music, I'm proud of Wilbur and the rest of Lovejoy for all the work they've done to make us enjoy their music
So true, been a fan ever since their first song, and will continue to be for their future songs! They slap! 🔥 I'll say they're getting better and better as more time goes on.
It’s so weird that my favorite little indie band has gotten so big. I’m so proud of them all
it was never small lmao
@@aly-6373 exactly
@@aly-6373Lovejoy was pretty small when it first started, like any band is when it starts lol
@@silverstar7187it was born into a following already though, it was never very underground
@@silverstar7187bro they went straight to having like 1.5 million listeners and now they have 2.5 million the amount of people that think lovejoy is their “silly little band” is ridiculous, like you don’t know wilbur soot or lovejoy you are a 14-16 year old girl who sits and draws all day long and goes on discord calls it’s actually quite sad that people have built up parasocial relationships with streamers or famous people it’s so sad 😢
Coming back after Wilbur’s stream today basically saying he was high is so funny 💀💀
I genuinely cannot express just how proud i am of Lovejoy. They have come so far in such a short amount of time and its insane. All of their lyrics are well thought out and creative and its super cool to see Wil explain them :]
Our little band isnt so little anymore
I agree. They came so far and they are my one of my most favorite bands of all the time. I am so proud of them and I hope they will grow more ❤
Never was little just wasn’t a big band either
WHAT, they’ve grown so much that NOW THEY’RE ON GENIUS
RIGHT I CANT BELIEVE ITTT
FRRR
FRRRRR
@@mountincloud8038 are you serious, if that was on when I was in the car you already know I would be screaming the lyrics
@@mountincloud8038you’re so lucky!! Are you a brit? I’m American so I doubt I’ll never get the luck to hear LoveJoy on the radio 😭
Knowing Wilbur was high in this just makes this so much better 😂😂😂
he wasn’t high he was hungover
@@MGGRANDOS i read that he was both 😅
@@denorona8853nope, just hungover, thats what he said on stream.
@@tropixx_ i've seen someone else say that he only said that bcs he didnt know if he could say he was high on twitch
@@tropixx_ he said he 'wasnt all there' because its against twitch TOS to say you were high lmao
i knew i had to come back and watch this again, after wilbur literally confessed he was “hungover”
this is so much funnier knowing that he was high
right?
Lmao fr
He was hungover not high
@@JackdawMori9510 he was actually high on some californian zaza he just couldn't say it on stream directly cause of twitch tos lmao
It’s so painfully obvious I love it 😂
As one of the fans who were there for LoveJoy’s first EP, I’m very proud of all of them. They have grow so much and I’m really really proud of them, I could say that a million times. They are so amazing I hope they continue to do things that makes them happy.
proud of all of them!
Really wish I could met them 😭💗
wrong there
@@garmen- ?
What Garmen- meant was that you used 'their' where 'there' is supposed to be used.
@@Zer0_2199 oh okay, thanks for clarifying!
Fr same
bros as high as the clouds 😭
I can’t explain how proud I am of Wilbur. He has come so far in just a few years first streaming to a few dozens of people to now performing with thousands of people. He has done what he has said his dreams are (or were I suppose) I am so proud of him ❤
I have always stood by the fact that Lovejoy are going to be the next big thing and I am yet to be proven wrong. You have achieved so much in such a short space of time and you are bound to achieve so much more. This is literally just the beginning. We are so proud of you buddy
watching this while NOW KNOWING the context is absolutely hilarious
legit
Wilbur is baked out of his mind here
"and I've come to the uncomfortable conclusion that I'll be spending the rest of my life in a state of constant paranoia" this is my favorite line in the song as someone who experiences very strong paranoia when I get in a bad place in my life. I think it's something that's gonna be there for the rest of my life. If you have experienced strong paranoia, you know that's when you begin to mess up everything, especially relationships.
They've come so far it's actually insane. I remember watching one of his streams during quarantine 2020 and checking out his music. I remember when he announced he was in a band. I remember hearing clips of their EP on tiktok, and I remember when their first EP came out. It was my top listened to on spotify wrapped. I've listened to all of his music and all of Lovejoy's music. I'm so proud of him for getting this far in his musical career. Here's to many more brilliant songs.
Rewatching this with the context of the stream is WAYYYY funnier lmaooo
The fact that Wilbur was high during this😭
Who else is here after what wilbur said in the wine stream lmaooo
LMAO
me
we all came to see wilbur now knowing he wasnt tired. but he was high. lmao :)
Ello
I CAN'T EVEN EXPRESS HOW PROUD I AM 😭❤❤ Watching them grow since day one has been amazing, can't wait to see what the future holds for Lovejoy
For me it's wild that Wilbur is explaining "Call me what you like" on Genius, which is very popular and impactful, because I was there when Lovejoy released "Are you alright?" but also when Lovejoy didn't even exist and I also was there when Wilbur was releasing songs as a solo artist and I'm super happy that Lovejoy is growing so fast and I'm extremly proud of all of them
i remember when “your new boyfriend” had just come out and lovejoy was just a very small underground band and wil was just a small artist but seeing lovejoy now doing all these huge concerts makes me just so proud of all of them
i’m a lovejoy fan, underground sure, very small is a stretch though…
@@MGGRANDOSthey meant in 2019
bro i remember when people were theorising what the name of the band was gonna be
It’s so obvious he’s high now rewatching it😭
i think that’s just how he is lmao
@@leahlicious200Nah he said on stream he was hungover, not high
@@slaughtrrbeach well
@@slaughtrrbeach actually he was high, he just couldn’t say he was high cus of twitch tos
@@its_me_again_shoot._. who told you he was high
I love hearing songwriters describe what their songs mean to them, so I really enjoyed hearing this from Will! So proud of Lovejoy and all the cool things they're doing ❤
why do you eat podzol?
cool guy, hope he isn't exposed for domestic abuse in the future
It is so crazy that Will, Ash, Joe and Mark have made it this far in the music industry. Now, there are fans outside of Wills Minecraft circle and people who found Lovejoy solely through their interviews, Glastonbury BBC Music and now this Genius Interview. Our little band isn't so little anymore. Can't wait to see how they grow.
The fact that he was "hungover" high in the interview makes it so much funnier
The idea of him going to this interview high is funny to me
man is in the clouds
came back to watch this after what was said on stream and oh my goddd i'm giggling this is so good
bro is ZONKED
he was high yet he seemed so normal 😭😭
THAT’S OUR SILLY BAND- WE LOVE LOVEJOY SO MUCH, THEY HAVE COME SO FAR!!
Whos here after he said in the wine stream he was high during this interview? 😭
me lmao
the fact that.. 🍃
I can't look at this interview in the same way.
Proud LoveEnjoyer here! I've been here since Soothouse, and I'm really proud of all the members! Wilbur's a genius, Mark is a true lad, Joe's a nice dude and Ash is a chad. They're all amazing.
BRO IT STILL SOUNDS SO GOOD EVEN WHEN WILBUR IS JUST SAYING IT, also very proud of Lovejoy
bro was ZOOTED
HE WAS HIGH IN THIS
LMAOO
honestly such a mood
lovejoy's lyricism is so incredibly good dude !!! im so proud of them and being able to see them and wilbur grow has been awesome YAHOOO !!!!!!
OUR LITTLE BAND! ❤❤ They're growing really big now I guess. I am one of the OG fans. Feels really cool to see them grow, but at the same time I miss the old days where we can talk to almost all the Lovejoy fans through one comment section. Congrats Lovejoy! 🎉🎉
hello wine stream enjoyers
coming from the stream its so obvious now.
i nearly screamed in class, IM SO PROUD OF LOVEJOY!!
proud to say Ive been here since ‘are you alright’
super proud of our band theyve come so far and its nice to see them become more known and worldwide. SO PROUD OF LOVEJOY
Im back watching this now that i know.. I thought he was just exhausted from all the tours but NO, our man was GONE
Can’t believe he was higher than a kite during this lmao
OMG HES ON GENIUS??
dude's been my favorite content creator and musical artist for a year now, I'm so glad he (and lovejoy) are getting the attention they deserve
they've impacted me so much so this is really special
I like your pfp!
The "Bridge" of CMWYL and The Fall are my favourite parts of those two songs. I'm happy that Wil explained that part❤. And I'm also really proud of Lovejoy, they have grown so much.
Estoy esperando por el día en que ellos vengan a mi país a dar un concierto ❤️🇦🇷/I'm waiting for the day when they come to my country to give a concert ❤️🇦🇷
I’ve left the fandom but I remember when he first told us he had started a band, I was so proud. Look how far he’s come
Seeing this knowing he was high makes it ten times better
I am so proud of Lovejoy and especially Will, these guys are insane and I wish them all the best. I can't wait for the day I get to be at one of their concerts, they have come so far:] Lots of love and good luck Lovejoy
now we know it
Anyone else here after Wilbur revealed he was *zoinked* in this interview?
@@donothingpirateor he's just used to this LMAO
@@donothingpiratehmm this is interesting. What confuses me is that he has health anxiety and like doing that seems quite unlikely for him??
@@donothingpirate that's what i'm saying!! Of course we can't be completely sure but i think everyone's overreacting when they say he does drugs alll the time. And i guess it makes sense, i don't know much about LA but from what i've heard it seems like that sort of place. But yeah, considering other factors i don't really think he's the type of person to do drugs often or at all which is good but we shouldn't be speculating too much lol. Also i like the way you analyse things, your writing is very good :)
@@donothingpirate yeah! This is one of the reasons i think he's really smart, i think his song writing is really interesting to look at the meaning of, he's always genuine on stream or off. Also don't worry about the essays, i enjoy reading them lol, hope you have a great day too!
@@Alex-mp3mq bro I wrote one comment joking ab will being high in this video and you guys write an entire novel 💀
FINALLY THE WINE STREAM PROVED ME RIGHT! ITS WEEDBUR
WEEDBURRR
WEEDBUR
it’s so funny to find out he was high during this interview 😭
I remember how excited I was when they released their first ep , two years later seeing them here getting a lot of support and stuff and now will is on genius ,I’m genuinely proud of the band!
this guy is so cool and rad and awesome, i bet he bites food trerally good
he's also abusive!! how funny
@@gqrdeniiq i dont think you got the sarcasm of the original comment
Look at that smirk on his face
From being here since the first announcement on stream of his new band to seeing him on genius is crazy! Hes no longer our little band but thats alright. So proud of lovejoy and what theyre doing right now!! Love you guys!!!! ❤❤
Our little band has truly made it 😭😭 I'm so proud 😭❤❤
They were never our little band we couldn’t gatekeep them they were always just a band we were all fans of
Same😭
how could nobody tell he was absolutely zoomed?????
the fact that he was high during that interviev is so funny
How we failed to notice that he was high in this video? It was so obvius💀
This is so much better because now we know he was high or hungover 😭😭
high🤣
HIGHBUR
WILBAH IS GETTING SO FAR, ILY
So proud of Lovejoy💘, they are incredible and I'm sure they will have an incredible future as a band, I wish them all the best
I ALMOST CRIED I AM SO PROUD OF OUR SILLY LITTLE BAND!
it’s crazy to think that he started out small with his band and now they are on the radio, he’s doing tours and getting huge opportunities like this, I can’t express how proud I am of Wilbur. I have been listening to his songs from the very start, and I hope to stay till the very end. ❤️
"That is through those doors *smiles absolutely zooted*"
watching this knowing he was high 😭😭😭
bro was high during this interview LMAO
Omg the aromantic themes in lovejoy's songs makes me so happy. As an aroace person I feel so extremely happy and giddy for the representation. Not to mention they just in general, they just make really good music. Im so happy this excellent band has gotten at this point of recognition, makes my heart soar :] ❤❤❤❤
Honestly I've never really seen the aromantic themes in Lovejoy's songs, but I really wish I could as another aromantic person.
AHHHHHHH WE'RE RECOGNISED
Little bro was on the zaza 🍃
The fact he was high during this
tommy is live watching this
gotta love that he was hungover during this
It’s funny how different songs can be interpreted from person to person but hearing him talk about what his songs mean when he wrote them is always a treat. It feels so normal and down to earth when he describes it
Cant believe y’all didn’t recognize he was elevated until now 💀💀
watching this now knowing he was hungover/zooted is making me die of laughter😭
The fact that he was high makes it even funnier
So he was high 💀
i’m like 70% sure he was high
his voice is so raspy from being on tour for like 2-3 months 😭😭 im so proud of him (and the whole lovejoy) its insane how far they have come
He is high 😂
BRO WILBURS BRAIN WAS FRIED DURING THIS HE ADMITTEF IT JUST NOW ON STREAM LMFAOOOO THATS WHY HE WAS ACTING A LITTLE BIT STRANGE-
I MISSED HIS LIVE AND IM UPSET😭😭😭

Im so proud of them. I never imagined they would grow so big so quick, but they deserve all of it. Im glad i can say im an og this is my favorite band ever
MY SILLY LITTLE BAND

I'm so proud of how far Lovejoy is going, following their entire trajectory since their first EP and seeing them gaining their due recognition makes me very happy ❤❤
