hello. after discovering that wilbur is an abuser to his now ex-girlfriend, all i have to say to that situation is that im really disappointed at him. the apology that he posted on twitter couldve been handled better instead of it being pathetically written all about him, to which i am also disappointed. and because of this, i will no longer continue showing support to wilbur. i will keep ycgma up and i want you, the person whos reading this, to understand that, you are still able to vent or rant in the comment section of the video. and what i also want you to understand (and i mean this very lightheartedly) is that you can separate the art from the artist and still enjoy the album as you once used to back then. as of now, i want you to go and show support to his ex-girlfriend. or just anyone who has dealt with any form of abuse in general. and wilbur, if you are seeing this, i hope you get the help you need and improve as a better person in the future, just please, come back to the internet to show that you ACTUALLY improved and are willing to admit to your mistakes. As for me, i will continue reading and hearting your comments and trying my best to help as i can. i will put up charities for abuse victims, palestine, ukraine and any other charities that seem helpful soon in the description of the video. i just need to somehow get the hang of it, once i dealt with my own personal issues. thank you for your time. - Nikita Neumann
I want to separate the music from the artist, but knowing the lyrics I just will think about what happened all the time Which is sad because Your Sister Was Right was my comfort song but the lyrics now just feel.. gross, knowing what he did
It really does suck, one day im talking yo my dad about how much i love lvjy and then the next day i find out he's a terrible person. It really does suck. But im so glad Shelby spoke out against him and brought the situation up. I want to separate art from artist by listening to like reuploads off of other channels so i dont directly support him, but i dont know if that actually works or not. But still i HOPE he genuinely gets better and stops being the way he is, and writes an actual fucking apology to Shelby, she deserved and deserves so much better
You guys rock, I always come back here and read your comments. I hope you know that I promise it gets better. You'll have a great day maybe next year, maybe next month maybe tomorrow that will spark some energy in you. You'll figure it out and learn how to roll with these punches that life throws. Until then, I'm here. This album is here and I'll keep making little distractions for you. Be comfy :)
@@restive_aura3989 this is so hard. Everyone saying that their city is horrible! i hate my city, they hate their city and what? where's all the good? where to live without any problems? this is so hard.
Remember: You shouldn’t feel guilty for relating to this. You shouldn’t feel guilty for still being here. You shouldn’t feel guilty for finding comfort in art. You shouldn’t feel guilty for being tricked by him. This album is a masterpiece of pain and suffering, but you won’t end up like him. You’ll heal, and you’ll be better. Kinder. This is yours now.
@@birdgirl87_as a former liker of will myself, no he isnt. he has personally admitted to many of the things shelby has accused him of, and this album and mammalian sighing reflex is FULL of guilt about how terrible of a person he knows he is. Its fine to like wills work still, but dont ignore his actions because of it.
He said it himself so many years ago. YCGMA is OUR album. It's not his. This is, if anything, a way to still listen to it without supporting him in any way. This album has gotten me (and many others) through SO much. I find myself genuinely needing it as seasonal depression is setting in.
Hey so this made me sob. I’m listening for the first time since he was exposed. It’s always made me doubt my “goodness” or morals or what not bc why do I relate. But it’s simply that they are sad songs abt wanting to unalive and I’ve felt that so deeply that it’ll always be relatable yk?
FYI FOR NEW LISTENERS : CW /TW :suicide Your City Gave Me Asthma "Jubilee Line" is about how much Wilbur hated London and wanted to leave. He said "Since moving there I managed to get this horrid phlegm cough for 2 years straight, doctor’s confirmed it was caused by Pollution, later on I started to exhibit signs of asthma." Which explains why the name of the album is 'Your City Gave Me Asthma'. jubilee line is also about suicide. when he says, “there’s a reason that london puts barriers on the tube line/rails,” he’s referring to the fact that tfl (the people that run the transport) have put up automatic doors on the jubilee line extension to stop people from trying to take their own lives on that line. "Saline Solution" is about how Wilbur has major health anxiety, which basically means he is always thinking about the possibility that he might be sick, or dying of something that he is unaware of. "Since I Saw Vienna" is about his traveling tendencies and has seen many places including Vienna. This song represents his tendency to move around a lot. this happened after he broke up with his ex-girlfriend when he was 17 Wilbur dated her for around 2 years and broke up in 2017(when he started Soot House), they visited a lot places. "Losing Face" is about a woman who left him for another man. He expresses his self-doubt and jealousy caused by it, he “Loses Face” while spiraling over alcohol and self-indulgence in this song, with the song reading as an angry message just for her. " Your Sister Was Right" is about Wilbur feeling dejected and insecure in himself, and how he isn't a compatible Love Interest for anyone. " La Jolla" is about a man who doesn’t feel good enough and has distant dreams of leaving to start fresh somewhere different. This could be a metaphor for Wilburs hatred of London and the Self-Doubts that plague his mind. "I'm Sorry Boris" is about his conflicting thoughts on leaving London, solely due to the fact that if he leaves London, his health would improve but he would also be leaving his friends. i found this on a wiki page and i think you would be interested in it :) if there is something not right about it feel free to reply and i will try to correct it
# cw/tw suicide. jubilee line is also about suicide. when he says, “there’s a reason that london puts barriers on the tube line/rails,” he’s referring to the fact that tfl (the people that run the transport) have put up automatic doors on the jubilee line extension to stop people from trying to take their own lives on that line. it’s probably the grimmest song on the album and something a lot of londoners like me can relate to. and i’m sorry boris is also about boris johnson, the former mayor of london and now prime minister of the uk. he talks about how he neglects/ruins some of the areas of london like when he says “southwark turns into a highway,” which brings light to the fact that boris built a motorway in central london and ruining the lives of people there. another example is, “let them burn down the towers before helping you,” which is referring to the grenfell tower fire, that happened in 2017-2018, and the fact that people who survived still need accommodation. and i’m just gonna say the line “they’ll make you jump under trains before helping you,” in i’m sorry boris is one of the smartest line since it links back to the first song.
i would love to meet them and just hear what they think about him. because i think most people know about his music because they knew about his minecraft stuff first
@@alli3334 person here, found him through the nice guy ballad a while back and have been following his music career since and didn't knew batshit about his minecraft stuff until this year. my impression of him was that he was a really funny and witty guy, funny but conscious about the issues around him
i feel like people don’t talk enough about how painful it is to find out that the person who’s music genuinely saved your life, turned out to be such a horrible human being. especially when they’re talking about these types of mental health struggles that Will does in his music, specifically this album. currently writing this while sobbing because this album has meant so incredibly much to me and so many others and i guess thankyou for keeping this video up for us to continue to listen without supporting him.
He really can. We’re like strangers yet when I go back and watch just chatting vods I feel like we have been friends forever and I enjoy myself laughing with him. He really dose make us so happy
Yeah, after I lost all of my friends in August 2020 wilbur has only been the person that can make me happy when I have suicidal thoughts and stuff like that. it's so weird that a person I dont know at all has helped me with so much stuff
I live in London and I couldn’t imagine living anywhere else, I really love it here. It really depends on the person, if London isn’t the right place for you that’s valid, and if it is that’s valid too.
@@friendndbenson i watch this video when i wanna listen to ycgma BECAUSE the money and support from it dont go directly to mr brighton biter.. i bet a lot of people who are still watching this dont support him u dont gotta be mean😞
at the beginning of la jolla he says "Y'know it takes a lot to move me, so if you figure it out tell me" and then in the beginning of I'm sorry boris he says "I've figured out what can move me, its trees hugs planes and sushi" and i don't know why that hurts so much but it does. he is a genius.
I also noticed he uses phone sounds in them both at the beginning/end. I don't know what is about La Jolla and I'm sorry Boris, but they both make me sob
this album is so beautiful and sometimes I wonder how someone so cruel could make such a great album. I don’t support wilbur at all but I have to admit that this album has got me through a lot and it altered how I looked at life.
@@timob1681 I mean yeah, I understand how someone with mental issues could write the lyrics on this album, but also the instrumentals are so beautiful. I don’t know how we didn’t see the signs that were so clear that he was and is a horrible person.
@@willowedgar people like him are charismatic and good at appearing good or "normal" to the majority. it's no one's fault we didnt know, but we know now. unfortunately some of the best art is made by the worst people :(
Can we appreciate that all the people who listen to this album, no matter where or who they are, have probably had a dark point in their lives. And, let’s admit, this album has made us feel better. Wilbur really is quite the guy. I must admit he’s amazing.
i honnestly relate to alot of the songs as I'm in this city million of people but i feel like i don't know anyone. and with covid those few people disappeared
I literally have a tattoo of this album on my thigh. I got it a year before all of the things about will work came out. I don’t plan on getting it covered up because of how much of a big influence this album out on me and my mental health when I was 17. I listen to these songs often anymore but today I’ve decided to listen to them again. I don’t care if you think I’m a bad person for not wanting to cover up a tattoo of an abuser because it’s not about him it’s about the music helping me through one of the darkest times in my life. Thank you have a good day
Because of Shelby I realized my ex abused me in the same way she was. It was actually SA. I wasn't just accusing him of nothing because he was my partner, IT. WAS. SA. i didn't speak up because of him. He used coercion. He mentally and physically abused me. Thank you for keeping this up. I don't want to support him, I just want the music without supporting an abuser by giving him views, etc.
@@lostfinn1063 same. whenever my parents walk pass me I always hope they would hug me but they don’t. they just walk away. and like man this album. like cmon. it feels so safe here.
Will has help me with everything man like, when ever I met him I'll give him a card about what he has help me with and stuff :) (( if I'm aloud to do that ))
London is a terrible place. Believe me - It's just a hellhole, everyone's depressed and nobody can escape. The sad truth is people go to London to seek some flashy life and end up in their small cubic apartments, locked up with no way of getting back out.
@@mountbolt8993 i've never lived in london, but i used to take trips there while visiting my grandparents who lived further north. i thought it was so fascinating when i was younger but in recent years i learned that there's nothing special about london besides its despondency. i wasnt able to go 2020, doubt i'll be able to this year, and to be honest im scared to see it after the pandemic.
I haven't come here in a while. I come back in this sad day because this album brought me comfort in rough times. It will again. To everyone taking the news of Techno's passing roughly, please take care of yourself. Don't isolate yourself. You are strong.
I feel down but at the same time feel like I have a pretty good understanding of the world and things like emotions (I just have a hard time displaying them) I also try to help with people in the comments. It’s sad but also assuring to see so many people in the same situations as you are.
I’ve come back despite hating wilbur. I was the biggest fan of him forever, and I never knew it would hurt that much to leave this behind. his music helped me through so much, and it got better when i stopped listening. thank you wilbur for the depression, and thank you whoever made this so I can listen and not support him.
For the first time in my life I feel like there's no reason for me to be alive. I don't have suicidal thoughts, I don't really feel sad or depressed, I just feel empty None of the things I normally enjoy doing seem worth the effort anymore, and I'm just watching time pass by It's even hard to talk with my friends, right now I feel like the only place I can express my feelings is in this comment I really don't know what to do with my life, I just feel like I'm stuck in the same old daily routine and nothing ever happens. I'm not sure why i'm even typing all this, but i guess maybe in a year or so I might be able to find this comment again, and maybe by then everything will be different
hey dude. im really sorry you feel like that- i can relate in some ways. i know it's really hard to stay happy in today's world. just know that no matter what, *someone* out there cares about you and enjoys your company and hopes the best for you. maybe that person is me! some of the best ways i help myself w/ mental stuff is (although it sounds silly) baking cookies. it's something productive, and you can jam to music whilst making them. this may not work for you, but try it! maybe it could help. anyways, no matter what, just remember that it will be okay eventually. take a day off from school or work. bake some cookies. go on a walk around the block.
Hey dude, a lot of people have been in your spot before. When you get bored in life and is stucked in a loop/routine. Find something new, explore something new, try doing something new outside of your routine. Also I always do this too, typing down my thoughts and hope I will find it in a year or two. It would be a pleasant surprise.
This album feels like the embodiment of "I'm tired.." Not "I want sleep" tired but, "I want to give up" tired. The kind of tired you get when you have been trying for so god damned long and nothing has come of it, the kind of tired that you have been begging for help, the kind of tired that when people do take notice it's when you have one foot in the grave already. The kind of tired that weighs on you and makes you ask "what if giving up is the only answer?" The kind of tired that isn't being tired
i feel like i dont want to exist, but not die, just disappear. im not suicidal or depressed, just really fucking fed up with everything, and honestly this type of music is so calming and it helps
I’m failing in school. I’m losing everyone around me. I’m not learning any new instruments or languages anymore. Fuck, I’m not even drawing anymore or even playing video games. I’ve lost interest in everything I used to enjoy. This album is the one string that I have to hang on to. It’s my one distraction from everything. The best feeling is to put my headphones on, put my head down, and listen to this. Wilbur, thank you for making this.
I was going through the same stuff a couple of months ago, I've just gotten better so trust me, you will too. Just find some time to get back with the things you loved to do when you can and dont loose hope ❤❤❤❤
I like imagining places and/or images to songs, I dont know if anyone else does this. but I'd rather imagine a hole filled with memories that you can't run away from.
TW// Suicide For those who don't know Jubilee line was made because Wilbur was mad at the suicide rates and pollution and when you go back and hear the lyrics one more time you understand tbh the song sounded less "dark" to me at first until I was reading the lyrics I'm pretty sure he explained the meaning in full detail in a vid somewhere if your interested
as someone with severe health anxiety, ive started saying "This is so sad, Alexa play Saline Solution" whenever i start to panic and i end up laughing so hard at my own dumb joke i start to feel a bit better
hey, you're back here. again. its what, the 7th time youve come here this week? and this weeks only begun. or its the end of the week, i dont know your situation. is everything alright? have you drank some water? have you eaten something healthy? you better have, because if not that could lead to you getting ill, and being sick is never good. have you even tried to go to sleep tonight? after you read this, put your damn phone/ipad/computer down and rest. you have made it past every hard day in your life, so why stop now? love ya!
It's hard to believe that tomorrow will mark 3 years since YCGMA released, I still love this album and I'm definitely in a different time of my life so looking back just makes me so nostalgic, I just feel like crying whenever I hear even 1 song from this album.
This album helped me through so much after Techno died. I could never, ever have gotten through it with out Wilbur. This album just sparks nostalgia when ever I hear it and instantly makes me cry. Especially Jubilee Line.
Numbness is worse than sadness in my opinion as you lose those who are around you because they think that you are ignoring their feelings and emotions but you Just can't comprehend those emotions at the time
I have to say thank you for keeping this video up. I've had so much on my mind with nowhere to say it considering how heated, childish, and frankly scary everybody on twitter and the discord server are acting (death threats being said and what not) but this feels like a relatively safer place to vent. Although I'm incredibly disappointed in Wilbur and will not be supporting him ever again, this album has such an important place in my heart. I want to, leave it behind but I know I can't do that without a lot of time passing so I'm glad I could have someplace to continue listening to it without supporting him profit wise. Please nobody attack me, I know what Wilbur did was terrible I just wanted to say how many memories I have from this album and how it Is (unfortunately) still a comfort to me even with the terrible shit going on.
Don't worry I feel a similar way. I don't know if after the next time I listen to this album I won't be able to do it ever again, if the lyrics will become so tainted with what I'm now hearing about the bts that I just can't do it (cause now quite frankly I'm scared to listen to it for that exact reason), but for now it is still my comfort album, just like yours. And it's been so for such a long time that I probably won't be able to let it go, like literally days ago I talked about what his kmd cover, ycma and miwb mean to me under his newest music channel upload, and that hasn't changed. I don't think you should lose the comfort this brings you because of the scum that he was. I'm currently boosting my own argument in my head by saying that Wilbur himself said that this album belongs to us and not him. Also life isn't just black and white, and in no way am I trying to excuse what happened, but I'm also not going to try to forget all of the comfort and good that Wilbur has brought. At least that's my take on all of this for now, we'll see what the future holds and how all of this turns out.
i wanna rant about jubilee line because I can't stress enough how fucking creepy but amazing the song is on an emotional level to the audiences if that makes any sense. ok so basically let's run it back to the first two verses when you're assuming that he's talking about maybe a crush or significant other about leaving them so maybe he's visiting them but then in verse 3 and 4 it goes in a different direction as if it's a conversation between two people THEN it goes to that super scary but amazing acoustic guitar / train sound and he start's talking about the barriers on a tube line (train) and then at the very end he says "they failed" so that leaves me to believe that this song is more of like a story telling of someone you lost to suicide which is so like crazy how much of a lyrical genius wilbur is when it comes to his music and the smp and i have so much appreciation for him and i really hope he's ok and getting better in a mental state even though i'm pretty sure this album came out about a year ago ok i'm done
No he explained it in a vid(i cant find the link). Ypure pretty close, but its about him being mad at the (mental)coldness, pollution, and suicide rates in london. Hes mad at how desensitized everyone is to how shitty it is
no dude its literally him talking about how he got asthma from living in london. its literally him ranting about how shit london is. there is no deeper meaning edit: stole this from another comment For those who don't know Jubilee line was made because Wilbur was mad at the suicide rates and pollution and when you go back and hear the lyrics one more time you understand tbh the song sounded less "dark" to me at first until I was reading the lyrics I'm pretty sure he explained the meaning in full detail in a vid somewhere if your interested
@@ayukurniasarihamzah3458 Yeah that can happen too. It's a bit rarer for sure but it can happen. I would say personally my life started spiraling downhill at about age 13 when I just moved away from all my friends. I still went to the same school cuz I wasnt that far away but hanging out with people became much harder than before. So basically no one wanted to hang out with me in the summer anyways do I was just at home the whole time.
Ikr like it all started getting bad when I went into middle school and lost almost all my friends because they turned to bullies and I’m about to go to high school and most of my friends are going to a different school and it’s all probably gonna get worse
Dad: my child is completely fine Your child feels happier watching people who have no idea she exists Your child can be excepted by people who have never met her Your child feels stressed until these these people go live and then she has to be stressed that you wont make her delete twich again Your child doesn't feel safe talking to you Your child feels like she gets manipulated by you And thats just the boaderling. So no, your child is NOT completely fine
Dear Wilbur, I know you'll most likely never read this, and never know I exist, which saddens me a bit, but I really hope you're doing well, and you're happy. You have no idea just how many people you have helped in such great ways, including me. There are absolutely no words to describe how grateful I am to have people like you in this world. To anyone else reading this: I've read so many comments here and it breaks my heart, I wish so badly I could help you. I know what it feels like and I know what you're going through. Ya know, every day you wake up is a new day, you are so strong for waking up today, even if you didn't get out of bed, you are still living and breathing. You don't have to compare yourself to others, because you're not them. You are your own person. You have so much ahead of you, what's the point in stopping if you have no idea what comes next? Sure you can guess, but you never actually truly know what lies ahead. I love you. I'm not just saying that because I 'pity' you or anything. You are a human being who is struggling, and I know what you're going through, I truly do even if you don't believe it. I love you. You are perfect. Your smile, your body, your eyes. You may not believe it, but you will get over whatever you're going through right now.
@@batbeak1 I know exactly how you feel, it took me a while to write that. But in the back of our minds we all know how everyone is feeling, and we all know that we're too afraid to say anything about it. We all know we want to but something is holding us back. So I just broke free from that and said something
Ohh... idk what to say... these songs where not sad enough to make me cry rn but this, this is so, soo... idk... I.. I’m just so thankful. This made me cry! I cried for 10 minutes... thank you so much, u made me cry but that was.. I needed that. Thank you so so much! I love you truly!! 🖤🖤🖤 (that doesn’t make any sense I’m sry)
I have to rant about this, becouse none of my friends would listen. Will is such an amazingly complex person. Not only is he good a writing poetry, scripts and songs, the man is insanely emotionally intelligent, which I thought was fairly visible from his acting on the DreSMP and mainstream music (aka the Wilbur Soot music), but holy fuck was I surprised when I listened to this album. Ima be honest with ya'll I didn't have the mental energy to listen to it in one go. It's one thing to hear about someone's alarmingly depressive thinking patterns, when you don't know them outside of their music, but it's a whole different thing when it's someone who unknowingly helped you when all the hope was gone. And it makes sense, people aren't just these walking positive emotions, that would be boring, they have dimention, but some people... You just don't really think about how they're perfectly human, just like you, y'know. Other thing is that these songs were written quite some time ago (the oldest of them I could find was one year ago), yet there is a possibility, which if i'm gonne be honest I think is true, that all of this was written 'under our nose', if I can phrase it that way. And the fact that Wilbur was capable of hiding all of these emotions from his audience is both jawdropping and concerning, becouse nobody who's not traumatized can act this good. What I'm trying to say is that I have never wanted to ask someone if they're okay more in my life before. Also I should know, first hand, that the best songs are written from emotions so strong you can't hold them in anymore, and that's why I'm so fucking terrified for this man's sanity, to the point where I'm shaking as I'm writing this. The fact that he's also crying while recording this only adds up to that, these are wounds that are still not fully healed. Heavens know how close to an another snap this man is. And the way that I'm worried about a guy I've never met on a deeply personal level, probably bigger than I've ever cared bout anyone in my entire life is fucking alarming. Everything is alarming. This is a walking red flag. But the thing about all this, that bothers me the most, is that I, we, have no idea how many layers are underneath this. For what I know there could be another layer of even more conflicted emotions below that, that are just too strong to think about them, let alone convert them into art. We don't know. And now you begin to wonder, how much on an ongoing war with themselves is everyone else, both people from your life and outside of it. Be nice to people, couse you never know how much shit are they going through at the moment. I needed to get that out of my system. I'm sorry you had to read that. Also looking up the lyrics and seeing that they are all credited to William Gold, not Wilbur Soot just hits different.
I wholeheartedly agree with pretty much everything you've just said, especially considering how he said on stream that "the lyrics for my actual music just comes to me, not much thought about it". He has also said that most of the songs in this album are about a girl who he knew in college and fell "madly in love" with (his words not mine) who he never actually got the chance to properly speak to about this and when he was trying to, found out she had a boyfriend. I'd say Losing face is a great example of this coming through as it mentions the future and whatnot with the whole bakery idea and "what could have been". This album is such a banger, music wise and emotionally. Also yeah, William gold hits different, but it hits right.
Yeah, same! I feel like in most of Wilbur's videos, he puts some kind of poetic element to it, (Ex: Milo from the random block challenge, LADDER MAN from the lava rising video, togetherness from the water rising one.), making each video unique and so memorable. It's like each video is a story - and that's why in the "Solider Poet King" meme, I'll always put him in the 'Poet' spot. I'm not hating on Dream, but I just don't get sometimes why people enjoy watching his manhunts so much - I'll admit I used to really like Dream's videos, but they seem so repetitive and boring now to me. (Keep in mind, this is all my *opinion*, take this all with a grain of salt!
Am I the only one who just doesn't feel anything? Like it's not that I'm depressed or suicidal I'm just.... here. I don't feel happy anymore I don't feel as nervous as I normally do. I stopped doing the things I used to enjoy I don't do anything except electronics because everything and everyone feels much more... real online. Everyone in my life has noticed and commented on it but it just doesn't change, I know I'm letting people down and normally that would upset me but I just don't care anymore. This is about the only thing I listen to. I don't cry. I don't have panic attacks anymore. I don't laugh anymore. I don't smile. Everything seems like nothing. Life has lost its color. I hope this isn't just me.
I feel the exact same way. I never find interest in anything, my parents are fully aware of the situation, yet they keep saying I will get over it. I enjoy going online because it’s the only thing that will make me happy, make something that I could never achieve feel so close, even though it isn’t irl. All of the things a few years ago that I enjoyed or did well, I just lost interest. That was a week ago for me. I went outside and I signed up for an activity and I loved it. Life feels more in color when I’m not using the internet as a way to cope with my boredom. I know it seems nice and welcoming, but deep inside, it prevents people from living their own life. I am finding balance right now, though im still struggling a bit. Listen, all I wanted to say is that you are not alone. It may seem that way for most of them time, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel, some just take a longer time to reach it.
i feel a bit like this, but i dont even have that real feeling on the internet. noone in my life knows this, and noone would really care if they did. but its fine, because i can type it out here, where noone will read it.
That is technology addiction and you have to go outside for a while, maybe go on a camp, get some fresh air on a bushwalk. Talk to friends you have in real life and just hang out with them, plan things with them until you feel something again. Maybe the feeling is guilt for spending so much time near technology, maybe it’s joy that your out of this constant nothingness, maybe it’s pain from all the emotions that rush back from before this, but wither way just hold onto them and adress as well as you can. Better yourself in any way you can.
i’m sitting in the grass of my childhood homes backyard, i’m a senior now, and suddenly the world feels so much smaller yet so much larger than i had ever thought. it’s cold out right now. i’ve always had this dream of disappearing, ghosting off like fine mist over a mountain somewhere in nowhere america, but yet here I am, headphones in. hearing a song by a guy miles across the sea somehow putting the fine, grey mist of morning and the cold, wet pavement into words. i can almost see the city lights shimmering in the puddles on the blacktop, city lights that are nowhere near me yet feel so close. there’s an empty spot in my chest where I once had a stained glass heart. i don’t know if it’s been replaced, but the guitar echoes in the place and suddenly i don’t feel as hollow. i don’t feel as alone. sometimes i wonder if the artist will ever see what i’m writing, will ever hear anything I say. i promised myself i’d start posting soon, start creating soon, but i’m lost in this cold grey sea of nothingness, clinging to an anything to keep me afloat, wondering how something unseen could keep something like me above the waves. i sit and think about the miles i’ve piled on my car. the car sitting in the driveway, that is. i can see it from my dismal place in the damp grass. the miles i’ve added from running circles around this town. i contemplate if i’ll ever get to leave. if i’ll ever get to see vienna for myself. an album somehow made from feelings, greys and blues and reds and shattered glass and wet pavements and cold taxis and old guitars and a broken heart. i can almost smell the city on my jean jacket. i can almost hear the bustle around me. it’s strange, being able to hear this in just a few chords and melodies. maybe that’s just how my mind works, though. wilbur, if you ever do see this, you’ve reignited a love for creating i’ve forgotten. the artists heart is never satisfied, only stalled.
i’ve been listening to this album a lot recently, more than i had when i first heard it. i discovered it in late july after the passing of a friend, actually, despite the fact that I had been fairly active with watching wilburs content prior. it fed into my feelings towards 2020 pretty well, and now, well, as i’m nearing the end of an era for myself, the words seem to hit harder. somehow. idk. either way, wilbur, your music still makes me smell petrichor and feels like i’m sitting on a bench in the cold city waiting for a bus as the night approaches. i don’t know how you do it.
This is beautiful... Even if he doesn't see, thank you. People like you? Are the ones who do great things. All you need is a spark... I hope I find mine one day, good luck with yours. ❤
@@sarah-edge your so talented. Have you considered becoming a writer? Those descriptions were so great I can’t even put it into words how good it was. You have a gift, my friend. You can do great things. Go out and show the world who’s boss!! We’re rooting for ya Sparrowwings!! 💜💜✨
Huge TW suicide I think the worst/sad part about the whole album is while writing julibee line wilbur saw a man literally commit suicide while writing the song. Well, more like this. He was on the train and a man jumped in front of the train and everybody had to evacuate and nobody else was phased by it but him and he was so traumatized by it he decided to write about all the problems in london In julibee line he was talking about how rather then fixing the problem they just put rails around the train stations in hopes people wouldn't jump. And in through out the whole album he was talking about how the pollution was shit and gave him asthma. The whole album was pretty sad but it's kind of hard to listen to julibee line without imagining the whole situation in my head over and over again knowing that wilbur actually had to experience that himself. I feel as if my whole heart breaks, imagining the scene over and over again in my head when listening to this line "There's a reason London puts barriers on the rails There's a reason London puts barriers on the tube line There's a reason They fail" I feel as if my gut twists up through out the whole album knowing the stuff he had to experience in that mental state and it makes perfect sense how he would want to forget about that album.
not that anyone will read this, but i want a safe space to rant: thank you wilbur soot, for jubilee line, for telling us that the horrors of the world are visible and valid, and that becoming another horror will not save you in the end thank you for saline solution, for telling us we aren't the only ones on this wide earth who feel like were overbearing or too much, for telling us that we are toxic and messy, and for giving us solace and hope that maybe change is possible thank you for since i saw vienna, for singing of travel and escape, something i personally dream of and long for, the escape from the world while still wanting to hold on to the people of the past, and i know im not alone in that sentiment thank you for losing face, for giving us a song to scream when we're thinking of someone we hate and yet still love, or maybe someone we believe thinks that way of us, for a song that radiates anger and yet still carries the promise of love, however broken thank you for your sister was right, god, thank you for this one. thank you for showing me personally that i hated myself so deeply and didnt even realize it, for bringing the emotions to light so i could face them and wreck them, slowly but surely, thank you for a song i can almost cry to because its always so hard for me to cry thank you for la jolla, thank you for the beauty in it of separation from the one you love because you know it's time to move on, for the pain it carries but the comfort it will eventually bring finally, thank you for im sorry boris, for the finale of all these emotions wrapped into one, escape, anger, love, remorse, and hope. thank you, wilbur soot, in a way that is so much deeper than those two words, for your city gave me asthma. we love this album, we love you, and we are learning to love ourselves. so, a thousand times, in a thousand ways, thank you.
“my child is completely fine” your child is also reading these comments on a minecraft youtubers music compilation while most likely hiding theyre tears
The sad thing is is that half the time when you are having mental problems you friends/family will block off your internet and stop you from doing calming things like listening to Wilbur. They always will manage to say that the internet causes stress, but for me it can simply help me and everyone else with mental issues. Edit: I think i need to delete this comment I think my dumbass friend saw it, so deleting it tmr
Exactly. I was/am dealing with mental issues rn, and the only way I'm able to cope is through strangers on the internet, and my online friends. My real/in-person friends don't ever see my "sad-side" because I'm the "therapist" of my friend group, so I need to always be happy for them. But I'm fucking exhausted. This shit is tiring.
coming back to this bc i dont support him and refuse to watch things posted by him. thank u for keeping this up, i rlly miss crying to these during autumn times lol
I find it honestly so beautiful that Wilbur said himself he doesn't like this album and would've gotten rid of it but he kept it for us knowing that it helps so many people (including myself) get through tough times and us relating to it using it as comfort music
@@Shadow-dc4qj He said it in an interview. if you search up Getting to know Wilbur Soot then it should pop up, the channel name is heyitsjoe just in case you cant find it.
If don't want to be here anymore, please- read this. To you, a boy, girl or anything in between- please stay. It might not be the best but I promise you things will get better. You may think that you are just another background character in someone else's story- but YOU are the main character of your own. Now, I may not know you- but that doesn't mean I don't want you here. You deserve to live, it might not be the best but there's only one of you. We all have down days, know that I love you. Whatever you are going through, please realise that there is someone who cares for you, sometimes unbeknown to you. Suicidal thoughts suck, but remember, they are just thoughts. It's hard to block them out, but I believe you can power through. I have lost friends and family to the dark grip of these thoughts, I don't want anyone else to follow the same path. I have but one more thing to say: I genuinely love you, I accept and appreciate everything you do for other people and yourself. You deserve the world and I'm so sorry it hasn't been given to you. - Yours truly, The Captain
@@sienna7383 I also personally really like it. His music has a sort of... Scuffed and homemade feel to them and that's part of what makes it so good for me
Coming here so I can hear this album again without supporting Wilbur. It’s sad to me more now because I love the songs but haven’t wanted to listen to in a long while and wow I remember every lyric 😕
huge respect for this man. honestly talking to over 100,000 people about the mental health issues you're having is so hard and he did it so well. Admitting that he had a bad day but still wanted to stream and talk to his viewers after being gone for about a month is not easy but he did it and I'm very glad that he is doing well enough to be able to talk about it.
To anyone who thinks they are faking their emotions for attention. Even if you were faking it for attention, its still a sign that you need help. It may not be in the way you feel you are faking, but something else. Either way its a sign you need some form of help. Not only that but its easy for humans to degrade themselves because thats how the brain works. We see a problem and try to fix it. We also compare ourselves to others, but really we don't know what anyone has gone through. We only experienced what we have been through. We have only seen what others show of themselves. Please don't feel like you need to go through anything alone, you can vent to anyone at anytime. It doesn't even matter what their opinion is, just that they listen. ~Anonymous ♡
i don’t know why, but i found a kind of peace in wilbur’s music. it felt like a warm hug every time i was struggling. i hate him now, but i can’t let go of ycgma. i’ve gone months without listening to it. but it’s so easy to slip back into his music. i miss it. i will never support wilbur. but i can’t let go of his music. i went months without it, but it feels so good to hear it again. i hate wilbur and i hate myself for not being able to move on.
i'll be leaving this album for now. this was my safe place, but i don't need it anymore. i've got people here for me. most of all, i've got her. maybe i'll return later for nostalgia. maybe to cope with heartbreak. but i'm the happiest i've been in years, so i don't vibe with these songs anymore. but as it says in the song, i don't think i want to leave you.
Listening to this after Technoblade's death. ♥ Much love and support to Wilbur for his music, which has helped and is helping many people, and so he and everyone else stays strong. Technoblade is amazing, and he will live in our memory.
My parents: my child is fine! your child trusts strangers on the internet more than you. Your child was given more comfort by their friend than you. Your child wants to forgive you but can't because you keep blaming everything on them. Your child is tired. Edit: I'm doing slightly better now, thanks for all your lovely comments :D❤️
I used to find comfort in my friends, I don't think so anymore. I do have one friend that I really treasure though, my other 'friend' (she's supposed to be my best friend but she changed after meeting another friend and I don't know, she's not the same person anymore) doesn't like her. I don't care. My most precious friend will always be my most treasured friend, and the reason I'm still living is because of her, and the dream smp.
@@stijnkorll167 if you don’t care, than that’s fine. But please don’t tell people that no one cares about them. That sort of shit can be way more damaging than you think.
There is just something satisfying behind his slightly not serious voice and how he's able to sing such depressing-ish stuff and then giggle after- And his voice can go so soft and it's kind of smooth-... What I'm trying to say is, is that this music helps me sleep darn it >:) He may not like to promote his music for one reason or another, but I'm glad I still figured out he had something other than his more jokey songs that didn't have much behind them. These songs just make me feel like I'm finally safe enough to let all my horrible shit spill and I'm able to just cry for once. All I have to say is, Props to Wilbur Soot for being able to convey these emotions without making it sound like a joke, it helps a lot.
Well he said in an interview a few months ago that he wasn't very proud of this album, and he really only put it out because so many people loved it. So he most likely doesn't promote it because he's embarrassed by it and doesn't want more people to find it.
@@afajardo9938 I don't know if this was addressing anything I said, but if so, I already know that. He only really shows out about his covers or The Internet Ruined Me and songs like that, and if anything, I respect that. I like the more sad music myself, but I know a few reasons why these songs are probably some of his least favourites, which is why I understand why he doesn't post or gloat about them, even though he's gained such a following because of it. Yeah, I don't know what else I was going to say here--
i got rejected from three colleges i really wanted to get into. i’m listening to since i saw vienna on repeat to drown out my parents voices because i know they’re talking about me. i’m having a crisis lol
@@Bruhecc i was thinking of veterinary work but now i’m not sure,,, i’ve done some thinking and i’m kind of glad i got rejected because i feel less pressured to have my major figured out now :)
I dunno anything about collage, I am still in high school but good luck with parents. Sometimes I talk with them about something and they learn i did something disappointing, they start talking like I am not there. So I dunno how to help you but just wanna say you are not alone fam!
ever since this album came out it has been a huge comfort for me and i seriously have not been doing well since the whole situation with wilbur. its gotten me through my abusive family drama, depressive eras, even just as a regular playlist to cry to. i am very dissapointed in wilbur and hearing his voice hurts me, but i will never stop coming back to this album. stay safe everyone, take care. edit: 7 months later, im back. god i hate how good his music is. edit: iiiiiiiiim back. again. fuck wilbur. fuck him for being so goddamn relatable with his music. edit 8 months later: god am i tired.
the fact ive been here since like october/november is kinda funny. well, i remember the old pinned comment how people would vent to that one, i remember reading the replies, most of them if not all of them. i’ve read the comments over and over. and seeing that there’s a new pinned comment is- idk it’s not depressing but it’s just like- it’s a reminder that time moves on. 4 months ago doesn’t seem like a long time ago, but so much has changed in the span of 4 months. seeing the comment number go up over time is just a reminder that time exists and it’s going to move on without you.
I like to think that somewhere, among the billions of people in the world, there’s someone in the exact situation I’m in. I don’t know them in any way, I just know that they exist, and I’m supporting them no matter what. I call it the bedroom community. We’re all sitting on our bedroom floors, supporting each other, hoping for things to improve. Everyone is welcome here
Thanks mate, I want to be part of this community, I also have an idea that we can do... Everytime I see someone sad I give them some blue, like Ghostbur "💙" adjoining it with a support comment, even if not everyone knows what it means, It makes you feel good somehow.
Thinking about how many other people are up, unable to sleep, listening to this album to feel some form of comfort, given to us graciously by a man who we will probably never meet yet understands us more than some of our closest friends do
@@thisisizzy520 I’m not sure I’d call it abusive per say, but maybe like walking into your childhood home that you thought was amazing but when you look at it now you see how shitty it actually was, but you still can’t help but feel a bit comforted by the house
"My child is completely fine" Your child finds the most comfort in streamers. Your child feels scared of going downstairs because shes worried youre going to mood swing and lash out. Your child has an irrational fear of talking in public. Your child doesn't open up about their feelings anymore because she knows you wont listen. Your child feels safer behind a screen than in front of you. Your child has lost most of her motivation. Your child doesn't experience the same amount of happiness as they did before. Your child feels like the least favorite child. Your child feels left in the dark. Your child is getting manipulated by not only you but her older sister as well. Your child is tired of everyone. Your child is treated better by people who doesn't know of their existence than you. Your child trusts people online more than you. Your child is tired of you taking no accountability and playing victim. Open your eyes. Your child is not completely fine.
That was deep, but I’m sort of realizing, hey, it’s not always okay sometimes, and maybe we get tired from our own family and past life, and that’s alright, we just need to breath and figure out a way to live, for Wilbur. Hope your doing okay. Stay safe :)

hello.
after discovering that wilbur is an abuser to his now ex-girlfriend, all i have to say to that situation is that im really disappointed at him. the apology that he posted on twitter couldve been handled better instead of it being pathetically written all about him, to which i am also disappointed. and because of this, i will no longer continue showing support to wilbur.
i will keep ycgma up and i want you, the person whos reading this, to understand that, you are still able to vent or rant in the comment section of the video. and what i also want you to understand (and i mean this very lightheartedly) is that you can separate the art from the artist and still enjoy the album as you once used to back then.
as of now, i want you to go and show support to his ex-girlfriend. or just anyone who has dealt with any form of abuse in general. and wilbur, if you are seeing this, i hope you get the help you need and improve as a better person in the future, just please, come back to the internet to show that you ACTUALLY improved and are willing to admit to your mistakes.
As for me, i will continue reading and hearting your comments and trying my best to help as i can. i will put up charities for abuse victims, palestine, ukraine and any other charities that seem helpful soon in the description of the video. i just need to somehow get the hang of it, once i dealt with my own personal issues.
thank you for your time.
- Nikita Neumann
I respect this.
I want to separate the music from the artist, but knowing the lyrics I just will think about what happened all the time
Which is sad because Your Sister Was Right was my comfort song but the lyrics now just feel.. gross, knowing what he did
how do you make an apology about yourself like wtf 😭
thank you so much
It really does suck, one day im talking yo my dad about how much i love lvjy and then the next day i find out he's a terrible person. It really does suck. But im so glad Shelby spoke out against him and brought the situation up. I want to separate art from artist by listening to like reuploads off of other channels so i dont directly support him, but i dont know if that actually works or not. But still i HOPE he genuinely gets better and stops being the way he is, and writes an actual fucking apology to Shelby, she deserved and deserves so much better
You guys rock, I always come back here and read your comments.
I hope you know that I promise it gets better. You'll have a great day maybe next year, maybe next month maybe tomorrow that will spark some energy in you. You'll figure it out and learn how to roll with these punches that life throws.
Until then, I'm here. This album is here and I'll keep making little distractions for you.
Be comfy :)

You shouldn’t feel guilty for relating to this. You shouldn’t feel guilty for still being here. You shouldn’t feel guilty for finding comfort in art. You shouldn’t feel guilty for being tricked by him.

thank you
Easy, I don’t feel guilty at all, because Wilbur is innocent. Just waiting for even more truth to be revealed to the world….
@@birdgirl87_as a former liker of will myself, no he isnt. he has personally admitted to many of the things shelby has accused him of, and this album and mammalian sighing reflex is FULL of guilt about how terrible of a person he knows he is. Its fine to like wills work still, but dont ignore his actions because of it.
He said it himself so many years ago. YCGMA is OUR album. It's not his.
This is, if anything, a way to still listen to it without supporting him in any way.
This album has gotten me (and many others) through SO much. I find myself genuinely needing it as seasonal depression is setting in.
Hey so this made me sob. I’m listening for the first time since he was exposed. It’s always made me doubt my “goodness” or morals or what not bc why do I relate. But it’s simply that they are sad songs abt wanting to unalive and I’ve felt that so deeply that it’ll always be relatable yk?

FYI FOR NEW LISTENERS :
CW /TW :suicide
Your City Gave Me Asthma
"Jubilee Line" is about how much Wilbur hated London and wanted to leave. He said "Since moving there I managed to get this horrid phlegm cough for 2 years straight, doctor’s confirmed it was caused by Pollution, later on I started to exhibit signs of asthma." Which explains why the name of the album is 'Your City Gave Me Asthma'. jubilee line is also about suicide. when he says, “there’s a reason that london puts barriers on the tube line/rails,” he’s referring to the fact that tfl (the people that run the transport) have put up automatic doors on the jubilee line extension to stop people from trying to take their own lives on that line.
"Saline Solution" is about how Wilbur has major health anxiety, which basically means he is always thinking about the possibility that he might be sick, or dying of something that he is unaware of.
"Since I Saw Vienna" is about his traveling tendencies and has seen many places including Vienna. This song represents his tendency to move around a lot. this happened after he broke up with his ex-girlfriend when he was 17 Wilbur dated her for around 2 years and broke up in 2017(when he started Soot House), they visited a lot places.
"Losing Face" is about a woman who left him for another man. He expresses his self-doubt and jealousy caused by it, he “Loses Face” while spiraling over alcohol and self-indulgence in this song, with the song reading as an angry message just for her.
" Your Sister Was Right" is about Wilbur feeling dejected and insecure in himself, and how he isn't a compatible Love Interest for anyone.
" La Jolla" is about a man who doesn’t feel good enough and has distant dreams of leaving to start fresh somewhere different. This could be a metaphor for Wilburs hatred of London and the Self-Doubts that plague his mind.
"I'm Sorry Boris" is about his conflicting thoughts on leaving London, solely due to the fact that if he leaves London, his health would improve but he would also be leaving his friends.
i found this on a wiki page and i think you would be interested in it :)
if there is something not right about it feel free to reply and i will try to correct it
Thanks

# cw/tw suicide.
jubilee line is also about suicide. when he says, “there’s a reason that london puts barriers on the tube line/rails,” he’s referring to the fact that tfl (the people that run the transport) have put up automatic doors on the jubilee line extension to stop people from trying to take their own lives on that line. it’s probably the grimmest song on the album and something a lot of londoners like me can relate to.
and i’m sorry boris is also about boris johnson, the former mayor of london and now prime minister of the uk. he talks about how he neglects/ruins some of the areas of london like when he says “southwark turns into a highway,” which brings light to the fact that boris built a motorway in central london and ruining the lives of people there. another example is, “let them burn down the towers before helping you,” which is referring to the grenfell tower fire, that happened in 2017-2018, and the fact that people who survived still need accommodation.
and i’m just gonna say the line “they’ll make you jump under trains before helping you,” in i’m sorry boris is one of the smartest line since it links back to the first song.
@@funnyusername9072 thanks for adding in the more details it really helps understanding the deep meaning of that song :)

I miss him like a little kid who grew up and realized their parents aren't good people. I cry and ache for the 15 year old who was saved by him.
I can imagine how confused people would be if they only listened to his music and just saw a bunch of Minecraft memes in the comments
i would love to meet them and just hear what they think about him. because i think most people know about his music because they knew about his minecraft stuff first

Its actually my first time and I am sobbing :)
Well you’ll be listening to it a bunch more! Great album, what’s your favorite?
30 but ok
_at least_
i feel like people don’t talk enough about how painful it is to find out that the person who’s music genuinely saved your life, turned out to be such a horrible human being. especially when they’re talking about these types of mental health struggles that Will does in his music, specifically this album.
currently writing this while sobbing because this album has meant so incredibly much to me and so many others and i guess thankyou for keeping this video up for us to continue to listen without supporting him.
i'm in the exact same position :'(
im crying so hard rn i cant do thiassssss
@@star-x5x7d same 😭
i feel like 95% of ex-wilbur fans went through this after his actions were revealed :((
Wilbur has the kind of music that you can just listen to while laying on your bed staring at the ceiling and contemplating life.
That's exactly what i am doing rn.
how about the bathroom floor? Is that good enough? lol
dude truee
i recommend wilbur songs and homage for that
OH YES
it's weird to say a random person on the internet can bring you more comfort than anyone you know irl. thanks wilbur, really. love you man.
He really can. We’re like strangers yet when I go back and watch just chatting vods I feel like we have been friends forever and I enjoy myself laughing with him. He really dose make us so happy
Same
ikr especially when he doesnt even know u its rlly cool but weird at the same time i hope he knows how many lives he saved
Yeah, after I lost all of my friends in August 2020 wilbur has only been the person that can make me happy when I have suicidal thoughts and stuff like that. it's so weird that a person I dont know at all has helped me with so much stuff
Yeah, he’s really comforting to me, like his streams and songs. I really appreciate everything he’s done for me even though he doesn’t know me at all.
3 things this album taught me
1: never ever live in london
2: it does get better but it jsut takes time
3: NEVER LIVE IN LONDON OMG
*NEVER LIVE IN LONDON*
yessir
Me, who is going to move to London 🥲
LMFAOOO BUT FR
@ghost awh i’m so sorry! i hope you get out of there asap
I live in London and I couldn’t imagine living anywhere else, I really love it here. It really depends on the person, if London isn’t the right place for you that’s valid, and if it is that’s valid too.

this album is so beautiful and sometimes I wonder how someone so cruel could make such a great album. I don’t support wilbur at all but I have to admit that this album has got me through a lot and it altered how I looked at life.

I think it's pretty easy to understand how someone with severe mental issues could make an album like this
@@timob1681 I mean yeah, I understand how someone with mental issues could write the lyrics on this album, but also the instrumentals are so beautiful. I don’t know how we didn’t see the signs that were so clear that he was and is a horrible person.

cheers
Can we appreciate that all the people who listen to this album, no matter where or who they are, have probably had a dark point in their lives. And, let’s admit, this album has made us feel better. Wilbur really is quite the guy. I must admit he’s amazing.
he must be having the biggest “i made it” moment right now. i hope he knows we all appreciate him so much
@@sienna7383 mhm, he deserves sooo much
Yeah. :)
i honnestly relate to alot of the songs as I'm in this city million of people but i feel like i don't know anyone. and with covid those few people disappeared
yeah :(
I literally have a tattoo of this album on my thigh. I got it a year before all of the things about will work came out. I don’t plan on getting it covered up because of how much of a big influence this album out on me and my mental health when I was 17. I listen to these songs often anymore but today I’ve decided to listen to them again. I don’t care if you think I’m a bad person for not wanting to cover up a tattoo of an abuser because it’s not about him it’s about the music helping me through one of the darkest times in my life. Thank you have a good day
His voice is like stepping into a warm bath, it's calming.
I agree. ✨✨
I never that about it like that
Except sometimes i get too hot and it burns my skin :)
Until you realize it was boiling and you burn all the nerves off in your leg
Why is this so accurate!
’Your sister was right’ hurts so deeply more then I can comprehend
yeat it rlly calms me when i have mental breakdown or when i feel alone
especially the very beginning
it does hurt, just so much. i literally started whispering "no she's not, no she's not"
Ikr? The end always gets me. Hits hard
I love your sister was right i always listen to it when im feeling down
I never realised a sleep deprived guy that plays minecraft for a living could be such a comfort

How come this have no replies. and also yep a Minecraft block men can sing very good.

how the fuck do i have two top comments wait what
Because of Shelby I realized my ex abused me in the same way she was. It was actually SA. I wasn't just accusing him of nothing because he was my partner, IT. WAS. SA. i didn't speak up because of him. He used coercion. He mentally and physically abused me.
Thank you for keeping this up. I don't want to support him, I just want the music without supporting an abuser by giving him views, etc.
I hope you can “get past” it, it's a uniquely evil crime and you deserve better
Please remember that you are so strong. Please remember you didnt deserve that. I hope youre able to heal and find peace. 🫶

"There's a reason why London puts barriers on the tubeline."
Holy shit that line caught me off guard hearing it the first time.
Honestly that whole song sends shivers down my back
"theres a reason they fail"
@Sage Is Annoying smh now THAT hits different the first time
oh god wait it doesnt say asparagus?
god jubilee line always gets me no matter what
It’s weird how a guy who role plays in minecraft can give me way more comfort than my own parents. :)
:]
fr tho i don't remember last time when my parents hugged me and this album just feels like a long hug. god i'm so touch starved
@@lostfinn1063 same. whenever my parents walk pass me I always hope they would hug me but they don’t. they just walk away. and like man this album. like cmon. it feels so safe here.
Facts bro
Will has help me with everything man like, when ever I met him I'll give him a card about what he has help me with and stuff :) (( if I'm aloud to do that ))
London is a terrible place. Believe me -
It's just a hellhole, everyone's depressed and nobody can escape.
The sad truth is people go to London to seek some flashy life and end up in their small cubic apartments, locked up with no way of getting back out.
if they don't end up in apartment's its the streets or prison. i hated living in london and i did so for 12 years
damn is it really that bad
@@mountbolt8993 i've never lived in london, but i used to take trips there while visiting my grandparents who lived further north. i thought it was so fascinating when i was younger but in recent years i learned that there's nothing special about london besides its despondency. i wasnt able to go 2020, doubt i'll be able to this year, and to be honest im scared to see it after the pandemic.
Have you ever been in Poland? Such a terrible place xD
Well sounds like I belong in London
I haven't come here in a while. I come back in this sad day because this album brought me comfort in rough times. It will again. To everyone taking the news of Techno's passing roughly, please take care of yourself. Don't isolate yourself. You are strong.
But sometimes its better to be alone and take some time to understand and heal… weird how some things just catapult us back here

I am as well. I spent maybe an hour a day trying to help people in these comments. I love you so I much.
I'm in the same boat
I feel down but at the same time feel like I have a pretty good understanding of the world and things like emotions (I just have a hard time displaying them) I also try to help with people in the comments. It’s sad but also assuring to see so many people in the same situations as you are.
I love the fact that you listen to this album and you have a mina pfp
Thank you :)
I’ve come back despite hating wilbur.
I was the biggest fan of him forever, and I never knew it would hurt that much to leave this behind. his music helped me through so much, and it got better when i stopped listening.
thank you wilbur for the depression, and thank you whoever made this so I can listen and not support him.
For the first time in my life I feel like there's no reason for me to be alive.
I don't have suicidal thoughts, I don't really feel sad or depressed, I just feel empty
None of the things I normally enjoy doing seem worth the effort anymore, and I'm just watching time pass by
It's even hard to talk with my friends, right now I feel like the only place I can express my feelings is in this comment
I really don't know what to do with my life, I just feel like I'm stuck in the same old daily routine and nothing ever happens.
I'm not sure why i'm even typing all this, but i guess maybe in a year or so I might be able to find this comment again, and maybe by then everything will be different
hey dude. im really sorry you feel like that- i can relate in some ways. i know it's really hard to stay happy in today's world. just know that no matter what, *someone* out there cares about you and enjoys your company and hopes the best for you. maybe that person is me! some of the best ways i help myself w/ mental stuff is (although it sounds silly) baking cookies. it's something productive, and you can jam to music whilst making them. this may not work for you, but try it! maybe it could help.
anyways, no matter what, just remember that it will be okay eventually. take a day off from school or work. bake some cookies. go on a walk around the block.
How are you now, if I may ask..?

o_O
Not really, but its fine
This album feels like the embodiment of "I'm tired.."
Not "I want sleep" tired but, "I want to give up" tired. The kind of tired you get when you have been trying for so god damned long and nothing has come of it, the kind of tired that you have been begging for help, the kind of tired that when people do take notice it's when you have one foot in the grave already. The kind of tired that weighs on you and makes you ask "what if giving up is the only answer?"
The kind of tired that isn't being tired
True....
That's "frustration" in my book
The kind of tired that makes you spend months trying to make everyone think you're fine and then get mad at yourself when they start believing it
I feel that way all the time...
I tell people that I'm tired and then they're like "How much sleep did you get?"
That's not it...
i feel like i dont want to exist, but not die, just disappear. im not suicidal or depressed, just really fucking fed up with everything, and honestly this type of music is so calming and it helps
So sorry for your state....
Honestly the worst to feel your life being pointless
I hope it passes soon
I get that. I felt that for a long time too. It's really stressful
i feel that way too. life would be easier if everybody just stopped being nuisances. crippling mental state gang
I understand exactly how you feel we'll all get through it eventually fingers crossed
Thanks for describing this
I completely agree and have felt this way for months, does anyone know a scientific name for it?
I’m failing in school. I’m losing everyone around me. I’m not learning any new instruments or languages anymore. Fuck, I’m not even drawing anymore or even playing video games. I’ve lost interest in everything I used to enjoy.
This album is the one string that I have to hang on to. It’s my one distraction from everything. The best feeling is to put my headphones on, put my head down, and listen to this.
Wilbur, thank you for making this.
i know its hard just hang in there
@@tyclone6266thank you, i’m trying 🫶🏻
keep hanging. shit gets hard, especially at the end of the year. let yourself relax and rememeber that you are worth of love just because you exist
I was going through the same stuff a couple of months ago, I've just gotten better so trust me, you will too. Just find some time to get back with the things you loved to do when you can and dont loose hope ❤❤❤❤
It gets better kiddo just hand in there
I hope everyone here sees a really pretty sunset
And I hope that sunset is "their own personal sunset"
Haha get it la jolla reference haha I have brain damage
I like imagining places and/or images to songs, I dont know if anyone else does this.
but I'd rather imagine a hole filled with memories that you can't run away from.
pretty sunsets makes me depressed, I want to see the sunrise

TW// Suicide
For those who don't know Jubilee line was made because Wilbur was mad at the suicide rates and pollution and when you go back and hear the lyrics one more time you understand tbh the song sounded less "dark" to me at first until I was reading the lyrics I'm pretty sure he explained the meaning in full detail in a vid somewhere if your interested
@Videoms Oh my god! That gives a whole new meaning! I cant imagine seeing that.
Yea and this is coming from someone who has been through that dark side I feel the song so much cus it shows how I feel and I am glad I found Wilbur
@Videoms oh my god.
can I have the link to the video?
Anyone got the link plz?

I wanted to cry (cuz I literally can’t cry) so I came here (it didn’t work but like the emotions that correspond with crying is there ya know?)
hey, you're back here. again. its what, the 7th time youve come here this week? and this weeks only begun. or its the end of the week, i dont know your situation. is everything alright? have you drank some water? have you eaten something healthy? you better have, because if not that could lead to you getting ill, and being sick is never good. have you even tried to go to sleep tonight? after you read this, put your damn phone/ipad/computer down and rest. you have made it past every hard day in your life, so why stop now? love ya!

thank you, i really needed this
Thank you, I definitely needed someone to say this :)
aha i come here every night
Thank you and make sure you take care of yourself too!
It's hard to believe that tomorrow will mark 3 years since YCGMA released, I still love this album and I'm definitely in a different time of my life so looking back just makes me so nostalgic, I just feel like crying whenever I hear even 1 song from this album.
Dude this album made me realize I'm trans I get it. It means so much to me. ❤
This album helped me through so much after Techno died. I could never, ever have gotten through it with out Wilbur. This album just sparks nostalgia when ever I hear it and instantly makes me cry. Especially Jubilee Line.
totally not crying rn:)
When your in a weird depressive state that won’t let you cry but also won’t let you enjoy good things so you just feel numb
I get this on another level
Too real
Numbness is worse than sadness in my opinion as you lose those who are around you because they think that you are ignoring their feelings and emotions but you Just can't comprehend those emotions at the time
i understand you mate.:)
stay strong king, we're all here for ya ❤❤
the vibes from "since i saw vienna" are some i can't describe.
Reminds me of my childhood:) good old times
I miss those times

@@halie1452 yeah its so nostalgia
@@happycat6601 idk for some reason this is one of the only songs in this album i dont find nostalgic
@HetaliaHasTakenMySoulPleaseHelp yeah it got some nolstalgia vibes but also calming and relaxing vibes
I can’t really describe it
"There a reason london puts barriers on the tube line" thats what made me realize how deep this actually was.
"theres a reason they fail"
I never got it but suddenly I did and I audibly gasped oh god
i didnt get it at first, but now reading this comment, i figured it out and now im going to think about that for the rest of the day because damn.
i read this at the exact same time wilbur said it
When I first heard that like it took me a moment but when I did I had to pause the song to take a breather
I have to say thank you for keeping this video up. I've had so much on my mind with nowhere to say it considering how heated, childish, and frankly scary everybody on twitter and the discord server are acting (death threats being said and what not) but this feels like a relatively safer place to vent. Although I'm incredibly disappointed in Wilbur and will not be supporting him ever again, this album has such an important place in my heart. I want to, leave it behind but I know I can't do that without a lot of time passing so I'm glad I could have someplace to continue listening to it without supporting him profit wise. Please nobody attack me, I know what Wilbur did was terrible I just wanted to say how many memories I have from this album and how it Is (unfortunately) still a comfort to me even with the terrible shit going on.
Don't worry I feel a similar way. I don't know if after the next time I listen to this album I won't be able to do it ever again, if the lyrics will become so tainted with what I'm now hearing about the bts that I just can't do it (cause now quite frankly I'm scared to listen to it for that exact reason), but for now it is still my comfort album, just like yours. And it's been so for such a long time that I probably won't be able to let it go, like literally days ago I talked about what his kmd cover, ycma and miwb mean to me under his newest music channel upload, and that hasn't changed. I don't think you should lose the comfort this brings you because of the scum that he was. I'm currently boosting my own argument in my head by saying that Wilbur himself said that this album belongs to us and not him. Also life isn't just black and white, and in no way am I trying to excuse what happened, but I'm also not going to try to forget all of the comfort and good that Wilbur has brought. At least that's my take on all of this for now, we'll see what the future holds and how all of this turns out.
Yes YCGMA was one of the only things that have brought me so much comfort. It still does, but now it also has a very bitter taste to it
lmao, it feels a bit spiteful to go out of your way to not give them "money" from a view like he r*ped your kids or smth but ydy mate
@@chzbi do you think being spiteful towards an abuser is unjustified?
i wanna rant about jubilee line because I can't stress enough how fucking creepy but amazing the song is on an emotional level to the audiences if that makes any sense. ok so basically let's run it back to the first two verses when you're assuming that he's talking about maybe a crush or significant other about leaving them so maybe he's visiting them but then in verse 3 and 4 it goes in a different direction as if it's a conversation between two people THEN it goes to that super scary but amazing acoustic guitar / train sound and he start's talking about the barriers on a tube line (train) and then at the very end he says "they failed" so that leaves me to believe that this song is more of like a story telling of someone you lost to suicide which is so like crazy how much of a lyrical genius wilbur is when it comes to his music and the smp and i have so much appreciation for him and i really hope he's ok and getting better in a mental state even though i'm pretty sure this album came out about a year ago
ok i'm done
hey i actually think that the hole time he was talking about London and how toxic it is but I really like your interpretation
No he explained it in a vid(i cant find the link). Ypure pretty close, but its about him being mad at the (mental)coldness, pollution, and suicide rates in london. Hes mad at how desensitized everyone is to how shitty it is
i cried while reading this
no dude its literally him talking about how he got asthma from living in london. its literally him ranting about how shit london is. there is no deeper meaning

So basically no one wanted to hang out with me in the summer anyways do I was just at home the whole time.

Dad: my child is completely fine
Your child feels happier watching people who have no idea she exists

Your child doesn't feel safe talking to you
Your child feels like she gets manipulated by you
And thats just the boaderling. So no, your child is NOT completely fine
Your child feels more loved by minecraft streamer, whos shes never met and they dont know she exists, than she feels loved by you

yeah, as hard as i try my mom is never proud, she’s always mad. but when i watch them streaming i feel safe, i feel like i’m enough
I hope you are ok
Dear Wilbur, I know you'll most likely never read this, and never know I exist, which saddens me a bit, but I really hope you're doing well, and you're happy. You have no idea just how many people you have helped in such great ways, including me. There are absolutely no words to describe how grateful I am to have people like you in this world.
To anyone else reading this: I've read so many comments here and it breaks my heart, I wish so badly I could help you. I know what it feels like and I know what you're going through. Ya know, every day you wake up is a new day, you are so strong for waking up today, even if you didn't get out of bed, you are still living and breathing. You don't have to compare yourself to others, because you're not them. You are your own person. You have so much ahead of you, what's the point in stopping if you have no idea what comes next? Sure you can guess, but you never actually truly know what lies ahead. I love you. I'm not just saying that because I 'pity' you or anything. You are a human being who is struggling, and I know what you're going through, I truly do even if you don't believe it. I love you. You are perfect. Your smile, your body, your eyes. You may not believe it, but you will get over whatever you're going through right now.

using this as a guilt free listen to the album that saved me.
I have to rant about this, becouse none of my friends would listen.
Will is such an amazingly complex person. Not only is he good a writing poetry, scripts and songs, the man is insanely emotionally intelligent, which I thought was fairly visible from his acting on the DreSMP and mainstream music (aka the Wilbur Soot music), but holy fuck was I surprised when I listened to this album. Ima be honest with ya'll I didn't have the mental energy to listen to it in one go. It's one thing to hear about someone's alarmingly depressive thinking patterns, when you don't know them outside of their music, but it's a whole different thing when it's someone who unknowingly helped you when all the hope was gone. And it makes sense, people aren't just these walking positive emotions, that would be boring, they have dimention, but some people... You just don't really think about how they're perfectly human, just like you, y'know. Other thing is that these songs were written quite some time ago (the oldest of them I could find was one year ago), yet there is a possibility, which if i'm gonne be honest I think is true, that all of this was written 'under our nose', if I can phrase it that way. And the fact that Wilbur was capable of hiding all of these emotions from his audience is both jawdropping and concerning, becouse nobody who's not traumatized can act this good. What I'm trying to say is that I have never wanted to ask someone if they're okay more in my life before. Also I should know, first hand, that the best songs are written from emotions so strong you can't hold them in anymore, and that's why I'm so fucking terrified for this man's sanity, to the point where I'm shaking as I'm writing this. The fact that he's also crying while recording this only adds up to that, these are wounds that are still not fully healed. Heavens know how close to an another snap this man is. And the way that I'm worried about a guy I've never met on a deeply personal level, probably bigger than I've ever cared bout anyone in my entire life is fucking alarming. Everything is alarming. This is a walking red flag. But the thing about all this, that bothers me the most, is that I, we, have no idea how many layers are underneath this. For what I know there could be another layer of even more conflicted emotions below that, that are just too strong to think about them, let alone convert them into art. We don't know. And now you begin to wonder, how much on an ongoing war with themselves is everyone else, both people from your life and outside of it. Be nice to people, couse you never know how much shit are they going through at the moment.
I needed to get that out of my system. I'm sorry you had to read that.
Also looking up the lyrics and seeing that they are all credited to William Gold, not Wilbur Soot just hits different.
I wholeheartedly agree with pretty much everything you've just said, especially considering how he said on stream that "the lyrics for my actual music just comes to me, not much thought about it". He has also said that most of the songs in this album are about a girl who he knew in college and fell "madly in love" with (his words not mine) who he never actually got the chance to properly speak to about this and when he was trying to, found out she had a boyfriend. I'd say Losing face is a great example of this coming through as it mentions the future and whatnot with the whole bakery idea and "what could have been".
This album is such a banger, music wise and emotionally.
Also yeah, William gold hits different, but it hits right.
Half of his music’s greatness comes from the lyrics and he is amazing at writing songs
Yeah, same! I feel like in most of Wilbur's videos, he puts some kind of poetic element to it, (Ex: Milo from the random block challenge, LADDER MAN from the lava rising video, togetherness from the water rising one.), making each video unique and so memorable. It's like each video is a story - and that's why in the "Solider Poet King" meme, I'll always put him in the 'Poet' spot. I'm not hating on Dream, but I just don't get sometimes why people enjoy watching his manhunts so much - I'll admit I used to really like Dream's videos, but they seem so repetitive and boring now to me. (Keep in mind, this is all my *opinion*, take this all with a grain of salt!
I think this is the best comment I have read
@@johsh__ lmao what do you mean "never got the chance to properly speak to about this" they dated for two years
Am I the only one who just doesn't feel anything? Like it's not that I'm depressed or suicidal I'm just.... here. I don't feel happy anymore I don't feel as nervous as I normally do. I stopped doing the things I used to enjoy I don't do anything except electronics because everything and everyone feels much more... real online. Everyone in my life has noticed and commented on it but it just doesn't change, I know I'm letting people down and normally that would upset me but I just don't care anymore. This is about the only thing I listen to. I don't cry. I don't have panic attacks anymore. I don't laugh anymore. I don't smile. Everything seems like nothing. Life has lost its color. I hope this isn't just me.
I feel the exact same way. I never find interest in anything, my parents are fully aware of the situation, yet they keep saying I will get over it. I enjoy going online because it’s the only thing that will make me happy, make something that I could never achieve feel so close, even though it isn’t irl. All of the things a few years ago that I enjoyed or did well, I just lost interest. That was a week ago for me. I went outside and I signed up for an activity and I loved it. Life feels more in color when I’m not using the internet as a way to cope with my boredom. I know it seems nice and welcoming, but deep inside, it prevents people from living their own life. I am finding balance right now, though im still struggling a bit.
Listen, all I wanted to say is that you are not alone. It may seem that way for most of them time, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel, some just take a longer time to reach it.
i feel a bit like this, but i dont even have that real feeling on the internet. noone in my life knows this, and noone would really care if they did. but its fine, because i can type it out here, where noone will read it.
Try new things, maybe you'll find something you enjoy
@@robinbennett1686 As someone in this situation, I can state that finding new things doesn't help me.
That is technology addiction and you have to go outside for a while, maybe go on a camp, get some fresh air on a bushwalk. Talk to friends you have in real life and just hang out with them, plan things with them until you feel something again. Maybe the feeling is guilt for spending so much time near technology, maybe it’s joy that your out of this constant nothingness, maybe it’s pain from all the emotions that rush back from before this, but wither way just hold onto them and adress as well as you can. Better yourself in any way you can.
i’m sitting in the grass of my childhood homes backyard, i’m a senior now, and suddenly the world feels so much smaller yet so much larger than i had ever thought. it’s cold out right now. i’ve always had this dream of disappearing, ghosting off like fine mist over a mountain somewhere in nowhere america, but yet here I am, headphones in. hearing a song by a guy miles across the sea somehow putting the fine, grey mist of morning and the cold, wet pavement into words. i can almost see the city lights shimmering in the puddles on the blacktop, city lights that are nowhere near me yet feel so close. there’s an empty spot in my chest where I once had a stained glass heart. i don’t know if it’s been replaced, but the guitar echoes in the place and suddenly i don’t feel as hollow. i don’t feel as alone.
sometimes i wonder if the artist will ever see what i’m writing, will ever hear anything I say. i promised myself i’d start posting soon, start creating soon, but i’m lost in this cold grey sea of nothingness, clinging to an anything to keep me afloat, wondering how something unseen could keep something like me above the waves.
i sit and think about the miles i’ve piled on my car. the car sitting in the driveway, that is. i can see it from my dismal place in the damp grass. the miles i’ve added from running circles around this town. i contemplate if i’ll ever get to leave. if i’ll ever get to see vienna for myself.
an album somehow made from feelings, greys and blues and reds and shattered glass and wet pavements and cold taxis and old guitars and a broken heart. i can almost smell the city on my jean jacket. i can almost hear the bustle around me. it’s strange, being able to hear this in just a few chords and melodies. maybe that’s just how my mind works, though.
wilbur, if you ever do see this, you’ve reignited a love for creating i’ve forgotten. the artists heart is never satisfied, only stalled.
i’ve been listening to this album a lot recently, more than i had when i first heard it. i discovered it in late july after the passing of a friend, actually, despite the fact that I had been fairly active with watching wilburs content prior. it fed into my feelings towards 2020 pretty well, and now, well, as i’m nearing the end of an era for myself, the words seem to hit harder. somehow. idk. either way, wilbur, your music still makes me smell petrichor and feels like i’m sitting on a bench in the cold city waiting for a bus as the night approaches. i don’t know how you do it.
This is beautiful...
Even if he doesn't see, thank you.

I left the dsmp /new mcyt fandom almost 3 years ago and yet I still find myself occasionally coming back to Wilbur’s older music
same, i just didn’t listen to it anymore since i wasn’t in the fandom anymore and didn’t care but here i am 🧍♀️
I still listen to it everyday, it's too good.
Same, left the fandom about a couple years ago but Wilbur and Lovejoy's music just goes so hard
Huge TW suicide
I think the worst/sad part about the whole album is while writing julibee line wilbur saw a man literally commit suicide while writing the song.
Well, more like this.
He was on the train and a man jumped in front of the train and everybody had to evacuate and nobody else was phased by it but him and he was so traumatized by it he decided to write about all the problems in london
In julibee line he was talking about how rather then fixing the problem they just put rails around the train stations in hopes people wouldn't jump.
And in through out the whole album he was talking about how the pollution was shit and gave him asthma.
The whole album was pretty sad but it's kind of hard to listen to julibee line without imagining the whole situation in my head over and over again knowing that wilbur actually had to experience that himself.
I feel as if my whole heart breaks, imagining the scene over and over again in my head when listening to this line
"There's a reason
London puts barriers on the rails
There's a reason
London puts barriers on the tube line
There's a reason
They fail"
I feel as if my gut twists up through out the whole album knowing the stuff he had to experience in that mental state and it makes perfect sense how he would want to forget about that album.
DUDE I WAS THINKING THE EXACT SAME THING... JUBILEE LINE ALWAYS MAKES ME CRY BUT ITS MY FAVORITE SONG THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE ALBUM
I knew the meaning but I didn't know he actually saw it oh my gosh, hurts to think about. btw when did he say that ?
@@journey7999 Same, i learned how to play it on my uke-
I also think that the person who jumps over the rails to do the notalives motivations r higher than the ines trying to stop it
Strange how we all keep coming back here isn’t it? Is it because we need comfort or because we know it will always be there? Perhaps it’s both.
yes
hello me :D
How did you know?
Yeah, I hit the comfort spot in my brain when I listen to this album...
Because I know that people are also listening to it at the same time and it’s kind of comforting
So can we all agree that everyone in this comment section deserves to go to a group therapy session together?
Pls. We can all go to therapy together. I’ve been needing someone who wants to go with me for a while

not that anyone will read this, but i want a safe space to rant:
thank you wilbur soot, for jubilee line, for telling us that the horrors of the world are visible and valid, and that becoming another horror will not save you in the end
thank you for saline solution, for telling us we aren't the only ones on this wide earth who feel like were overbearing or too much, for telling us that we are toxic and messy, and for giving us solace and hope that maybe change is possible
thank you for since i saw vienna, for singing of travel and escape, something i personally dream of and long for, the escape from the world while still wanting to hold on to the people of the past, and i know im not alone in that sentiment
thank you for losing face, for giving us a song to scream when we're thinking of someone we hate and yet still love, or maybe someone we believe thinks that way of us, for a song that radiates anger and yet still carries the promise of love, however broken
thank you for your sister was right, god, thank you for this one. thank you for showing me personally that i hated myself so deeply and didnt even realize it, for bringing the emotions to light so i could face them and wreck them, slowly but surely, thank you for a song i can almost cry to because its always so hard for me to cry
thank you for la jolla, thank you for the beauty in it of separation from the one you love because you know it's time to move on, for the pain it carries but the comfort it will eventually bring
finally, thank you for im sorry boris, for the finale of all these emotions wrapped into one, escape, anger, love, remorse, and hope.
thank you, wilbur soot, in a way that is so much deeper than those two words, for your city gave me asthma. we love this album, we love you, and we are learning to love ourselves.
so, a thousand times, in a thousand ways,
thank you.

Might wanna check the grammar, I almost read that as you slowly morphing into small tear droplets under a blanket.
The sad thing is is that half the time when you are having mental problems you friends/family will block off your internet and stop you from doing calming things like listening to Wilbur. They always will manage to say that the internet causes stress, but for me it can simply help me and everyone else with mental issues. Edit: I think i need to delete this comment I think my dumbass friend saw it, so deleting it tmr
Same thing just happened to me
Paremts can be fucking stupid
They need to understand that the internet has more positives than negatives
@@marko7654 Like we know that social media can be horrible, but the key word is: Can be
Exactly. I was/am dealing with mental issues rn, and the only way I'm able to cope is through strangers on the internet, and my online friends. My real/in-person friends don't ever see my "sad-side" because I'm the "therapist" of my friend group, so I need to always be happy for them. But I'm fucking exhausted. This shit is tiring.

coming back to this bc i dont support him and refuse to watch things posted by him. thank u for keeping this up, i rlly miss crying to these during autumn times lol
I find it honestly so beautiful that Wilbur said himself he doesn't like this album and would've gotten rid of it but he kept it for us knowing that it helps so many people (including myself) get through tough times and us relating to it using it as comfort music
Where did he say he doesn't like it? I'm a new fan of Wilbur and am just finding out about his music and stuff so I'm just curious
@@Shadow-dc4qj He said it in an interview. if you search up Getting to know Wilbur Soot then it should pop up, the channel name is heyitsjoe just in case you cant find it.
@@Mo-hu8vh Alright, thanks!
@@Shadow-dc4qj ofc :)
he prolly doesn’t like it because it’s a rlly dark place in his life
If don't want to be here anymore, please- read this.
To you, a boy, girl or anything in between- please stay. It might not be the best but I promise you things will get better. You may think that you are just another background character in someone else's story- but YOU are the main character of your own. Now, I may not know you- but that doesn't mean I don't want you here. You deserve to live, it might not be the best but there's only one of you. We all have down days, know that I love you. Whatever you are going through, please realise that there is someone who cares for you, sometimes unbeknown to you. Suicidal thoughts suck, but remember, they are just thoughts. It's hard to block them out, but I believe you can power through. I have lost friends and family to the dark grip of these thoughts, I don't want anyone else to follow the same path. I have but one more thing to say:
I genuinely love you, I accept and appreciate everything you do for other people and yourself. You deserve the world and I'm so sorry it hasn't been given to you.
- Yours truly,
The Captain
thank you..
Thank you, I needed this
thanks captain this was much needed
WHEN I GET THOSE THOUGHTS I EITHER PUT THIS ALBUM ON FULL BLAST OR SCREAM MY HEART OUT
thanks bro. ily
4:57 thats such a pretty line,,,
"my optimistically set alarm clock time serves only to mock me with flashing lights."
all of wilbur’s lines are so pretty man
that’s my favourite line :]
@@sienna7383 A lot of them lack an actual rhyme scheme which triggers me but his songs are still pretty good ig
@@Carl-ld5jy i think it adds to the gritty feel of the album. each to their own i suppose but i like iy
@@sienna7383 I also personally really like it. His music has a sort of... Scuffed and homemade feel to them and that's part of what makes it so good for me
Coming here so I can hear this album again without supporting Wilbur. It’s sad to me more now because I love the songs but haven’t wanted to listen to in a long while and wow I remember every lyric 😕
I need Jubilee Line and Saline Solution on repeat rn
same but add losing face ✨
ah yes, someone with✨taste✨
yes.
yes but put since i saw vienna and losing face there
SAME
huge respect for this man. honestly talking to over 100,000 people about the mental health issues you're having is so hard and he did it so well. Admitting that he had a bad day but still wanted to stream and talk to his viewers after being gone for about a month is not easy but he did it and I'm very glad that he is doing well enough to be able to talk about it.
he’s brilliant :)
To anyone who thinks they are faking their emotions for attention.
Even if you were faking it for attention, its still a sign that you need help. It may not be in the way you feel you are faking, but something else. Either way its a sign you need some form of help. Not only that but its easy for humans to degrade themselves because thats how the brain works. We see a problem and try to fix it. We also compare ourselves to others, but really we don't know what anyone has gone through. We only experienced what we have been through. We have only seen what others show of themselves. Please don't feel like you need to go through anything alone, you can vent to anyone at anytime. It doesn't even matter what their opinion is, just that they listen.

i don’t know why, but i found a kind of peace in wilbur’s music. it felt like a warm hug every time i was struggling. i hate him now, but i can’t let go of ycgma. i’ve gone months without listening to it. but it’s so easy to slip back into his music. i miss it.
i will never support wilbur. but i can’t let go of his music. i went months without it, but it feels so good to hear it again. i hate wilbur and i hate myself for not being able to move on.
People are talking about a Wilbur appreciation day but that should be everyday
if it was we would be crying even more than usual
That’s everyday for me 🙃
i'll be leaving this album for now.
this was my safe place, but i don't need it anymore.
i've got people here for me.
most of all, i've got her.
maybe i'll return later for nostalgia.
maybe to cope with heartbreak.
but i'm the happiest i've been in years, so i don't vibe with these songs anymore.
but as it says in the song,
i don't think i want to leave you.
well done on get out of this i am still in panic acctas and depression i hope i can get out soon but well done
Im so proud of you :) Im almost there myself and have a good bit of my life sorted out. Im hope it all stays the same and you can stay happy!
I’m so happy for you ♥️

whether you are actually getting better or not i dont know but im sure you will, at one point, get better, im sure of it
Listening to this after Technoblade's death. ♥ Much love and support to Wilbur for his music, which has helped and is helping many people, and so he and everyone else stays strong. Technoblade is amazing, and he will live in our memory.
My parents: my child is fine!
your child trusts strangers on the internet more than you. Your child was given more comfort by their friend than you. Your child wants to forgive you but can't because you keep blaming everything on them.
Your child is tired.
Edit: I'm doing slightly better now, thanks for all your lovely comments :D❤️
I have no friends so like
I hope your doing well
I used to find comfort in my friends, I don't think so anymore. I do have one friend that I really treasure though, my other 'friend' (she's supposed to be my best friend but she changed after meeting another friend and I don't know, she's not the same person anymore) doesn't like her. I don't care. My most precious friend will always be my most treasured friend, and the reason I'm still living is because of her, and the dream smp.
no one cares, stop living in self pity
@@stijnkorll167 if you don’t care, than that’s fine. But please don’t tell people that no one cares about them. That sort of shit can be way more damaging than you think.
There is just something satisfying behind his slightly not serious voice and how he's able to sing such depressing-ish stuff and then giggle after- And his voice can go so soft and it's kind of smooth-... What I'm trying to say is, is that this music helps me sleep darn it >:)
He may not like to promote his music for one reason or another, but I'm glad I still figured out he had something other than his more jokey songs that didn't have much behind them. These songs just make me feel like I'm finally safe enough to let all my horrible shit spill and I'm able to just cry for once.
All I have to say is,
Props to Wilbur Soot for being able to convey these emotions without making it sound like a joke, it helps a lot.
I found it after Spotify did the “because you like Wilbur Soot, you may like Wilbur,” was very glad
Well he said in an interview a few months ago that he wasn't very proud of this album, and he really only put it out because so many people loved it. So he most likely doesn't promote it because he's embarrassed by it and doesn't want more people to find it.
@@afajardo9938
I don't know if this was addressing anything I said, but if so, I already know that. He only really shows out about his covers or The Internet Ruined Me and songs like that, and if anything, I respect that. I like the more sad music myself, but I know a few reasons why these songs are probably some of his least favourites, which is why I understand why he doesn't post or gloat about them, even though he's gained such a following because of it. Yeah, I don't know what else I was going to say here--
gay

Do a semester or two at a community college. Its cheaper and you can boost your GPA to get accepted and transfer to where you want after a bit :)
"lol" kinda downgraded the whole message of you having a crisis tbh
ever since this album came out it has been a huge comfort for me and i seriously have not been doing well since the whole situation with wilbur. its gotten me through my abusive family drama, depressive eras, even just as a regular playlist to cry to. i am very dissapointed in wilbur and hearing his voice hurts me, but i will never stop coming back to this album.
stay safe everyone, take care.

the fact ive been here since like october/november is kinda funny. well, i remember the old pinned comment how people would vent to that one, i remember reading the replies, most of them if not all of them. i’ve read the comments over and over. and seeing that there’s a new pinned comment is- idk it’s not depressing but it’s just like- it’s a reminder that time moves on. 4 months ago doesn’t seem like a long time ago, but so much has changed in the span of 4 months. seeing the comment number go up over time is just a reminder that time exists and it’s going to move on without you.
this comment right here. this is it!
this hits! i’ve been listening since november as well and i love coming back and just having a read through almost every day

Hey! Love from the bedroom community
Thinking about how many other people are up, unable to sleep, listening to this album to feel some form of comfort, given to us graciously by a man who we will probably never meet yet understands us more than some of our closest friends do

The fact that I hardcore relate to this is concerning (like everything about that it’s like you just described me in a nutshell 👀)
That was deep, but I’m sort of realizing, hey, it’s not always okay sometimes, and maybe we get tired from our own family and past life, and that’s alright, we just need to breath and figure out a way to live, for Wilbur. Hope your doing okay. Stay safe :)
