"oh, my memories are coming back in ways I wasn't ready for" is such a pretty and relatable line. I really like this one.
What's weird is that I'm not sure if it is a relatable song about memories and how everything drifts into the future or just a load of words threw in a bucket and rattled around until it forms something that seems like it should make sense.
The human brain (and actually, computers too) can't pick out truly random words, it has to take it from somewhere, so I think what Bill's doing is just writing thoughts but not fixing them so it makes sense to hear.
@@mullafacation yeah I get what you mean. It's like a rorschach test but with words instead of ink blots.
I just like this line though because the day I commented, my local government workers cut the grass in front of the house I just moved into and the smell of cut grass on a hot day gave me some really specific nostalgic memories of my childhood. Smell has a funny way of surprising you with memories you weren't ready for
He did say that the words and phrases were carefully chosen, I kinda got a story from the song.
It sounds like a description for terminal lucidity or ptsd to be honest but this song still slaps
"Travel the distance in between where I was and where I would like to be a little later" hit me most.
this song has made me cry, and i mean that in the best way possible. ive had to be a caretaker to almost all my grandparents, who all had gotten dementia before they died. and while they were not to the point of forgetting their place in time fully, this song, makes me think of someone with dementia singing about their experiences. how time flows for them, and how they see the world and people they interact with.
i know bill's songs are vague, probably on purpose, but i cant get over how much this fits people who cant keep track of reality anymore. a soft song despite losing the ground under your feet is something so powerful, and comforting.
I had a friend at after school and one day he sang this song. Then he left. Then i moved school. I haven’t seen him for a year. And this song makes me cry as well, ( I’m sorry for your loss it must have been a tough time i hope you feel better now 👍)
@@Pumpkingaming-xo9yf I bet you will run into him in the next two months
I don't comment stuff like this often but this is honestly a beautiful little story. I feel for you, and I'm sorry for your loss, but I'm so glad you find such a peaceful way to envision this song and experience.
Plus reading this comment while the beautiful hook (and any part of the song) just makes it feel a lot idk deeper?
TWO uploads within a month of one another? What have we done to deserve such a blessing?
I mean, "i'm a princess" and "got some money" were also uploaded within a month of each other.
he's attempting a 3-week schedule, and going back to the minimalistic-ish video style of "got some money" in order to make this possible! he's been desperately trying to tame his perfectionism and go back on a regular schedule for so long, so i'm happy it seems to be working out for him this time! (source: assorted questions on his questions page)

2:16 - 2:26, “so I’m holding on to the details, capture this moment in a series of carefully chosen words and phrases”
Unironically, I love this line. Its meta and self referential, and it’s so artistic and unique in that way. Also I write music so I’m like “heh, I do that!” Anyway, reality is a simulation have a good day
This part really threw me off because there is what sounds like rising Shepard's tones
It's just a really long way of saying "I'm memorizing this moment"
linguists :handshake: musicians
words and phrases
simulation of what
the universe is a simulation? no no no no no. Reality is an illusion the universe is a hologram buy gold bye, however, is a more effective way to get your point across than simply "the universe is a simulation"

Me and my brother know this as 'the fishing song' because we play it everytime we go fishing.
Just got cast in and caught a 17lb carp while listening.
Thanks Bill for blessing me today
17 pounds!!! that's crazy, nice catch
So relatable, my old roommate and I used to do the same with older Bill Wurtz songs while bass fishing. Fish on, brother.
I feel like Bill Wurtz’s music is like if David Bowie switched to jazz and collaborated with Bob Ross to write his songs.
It’s beautiful.
Sounds about right
why is this accurate
Accurate.
It's quite similar in some ways to David Byrne's music
I’m a Bowie fan and I love this comment.
“The melody is drifting” part is genius with the brief modulation, as it temporarily drifts from the original key. What a masterpiece
It feels like the sudden smell of freshly cut grass.

Bill's songs are usually simple and comedic, but this, this literally feels like it's heartwarming even though it isn't. Thank you Bill :)
READ MY NAME!!!!!!
!!!!!
Why isn’t it?
It's heartwarming to me, for some reason~
@@Srcsqwrn me too, you know the reason, you just can't easily explain it with words
Nonsense. They are not usually simple at all, and any comedy is only an element of some parts of the songs because it's part of the human experience. Hell as far as the "simplicity" goes I bet you wouldn't even be able to figure out the chords to any of his songs, even ones without modulation. After you've tried that, try sitting down and writing a melody with fitting lyrics that's half as good as any of his songs. It's insulting to call his stuff anything other than musical genius and genuine expression. This one is heartwarming, why the heck would you say it feels heartwarming and then say it isn't? How it feels is what it is, that's what art is. Maybe most people don't recognize his music as what it is because any time there's anything in a song other than "I'm in love" or "I'm heartbroken" it just seems quirky and strange
Bill Wurtz has such a way with words. I’m never able to tell where he’s going with a sentence, and each sentence is open to much interpretation because out of context they make as much sense as they do in context.

READ MY NAME!!!!!!!

absolutely agree
it's vague enough to apply plenty of meanings to it
When he "quit" for a year we were all scared
lest appreciate how amazing this man and his songs are.
His songs make absolutely no sense whatsoever and how he goes from talking about sandals to flying or his arms being too tired to conversate but they are still so epic and he 100% deserves an oscar.
Taking sandals off is a metaphor for being carefree. His arms are tired because he is literally "flying around". The lyrics make sense, as they usually do. Not that hard to figure out
READ MY NAME!!!!!!
!!!!!
You take that back. If you don't think this makes sense then I'm not sure you're really enjoying what time it is.
He tells you RIGHT IN THE SONG that the sky is larger than a sky can be. Of course his arms would be tired while conversing after flying around without special sandles on the earth.
@@perhapsxarb7226 Bill Wurtz stated that his songs don't really have a meaning and that viewers should interpret that meaning for themselves. Some people see the lyrics as complete nonsense, some view it as poetic and perfectly normal.
It’s genius is you know what it’s about based on the music and a vague idea of what he’s talking about. Ultimate don’t tell your audience the meaning. Litterly dosent say anything meaningful but does somehow
I don’t know why his song makes me feel so emotional. Everything he says sounds so meaningless yet it’s packed with depth and meaning I literally cried listening to this song idk why it’s just inspiring. Thank you
Same here. He is a total genius. Like.. way too overboard in a manner that hits your deepest fears/ambitions.

@@harrisonmoore3841 haha you and me both
whenever he releases a new song i listen to it on loop until i start to realize the existential metacommentary baked into the lyrics
"i walked on earth in special sandals. then i took them off and now i can fly around...i watched those sandals fly away and i didnt notice when they hit the ground "; an homage to the cynic/buddist philosophy that true freedom is achieved once soul is detached from all earthly pleasures.
"some people ask why the sun is not very bright. my arms are too tired for this conversation."; blatantly faulty arguments are not worth fighting
"my calendar is telling me that its the future"; measurement of past and future are just human concepts and shouldnt fixated on. never wait till the future to be happy because it will always be the present and never the future. so let the future be now
"there are characters in the second scene and they never talk but you know exactly what they mean"; there are so many people who you will see but never truly know or meet
"somewhere in the 7th scene when noone understands the point of view you find so familiar"; there are so many people outside your immediate social bubble that will subvert your worldview
"oh! my memories are coming back in ways i wasnt ready for. but im still enjoying how it feels. so im holding onto the details. capture the details. in a series of carefully chosen words and phrases and then replay it"; literally him having an existential epiphany and writing it into his lyrics so he can revisit the headspace later
"and know exactly what the story will be...and pretend to know exactly how the story will end"; finding contentment with never knowing the answer to what will happen after death
@Don’t read my profile picture ok
I adore how close Bill gets to his songs having a clear meaning without them ever having one. I almost understand it I’m this 🤏 close, but it’s still just music. Beautiful, nonsensical music.
*ua-cam.com/video/BrH9f-IWwlo/v-deo.html*
Exactly yes.
Honestly, all I don't exactly understand is 1:28 the rest can be seen as a memory (being the beginning of the song) slowly deteriorating as time passes, first it's clear, then in the first chorus, the 'future' represents your future self recalling the memory, second verse I have no clue how it fits into everything, in the second chorus, the '7th scene' is you retelling the story, hence why the point of view is unclear to them, as this could've happened years ago and many details could've been forgotten, regardless, you write down what you can remember and read through it to reexperience the memory, however this time, instead of you flying around, the sandals fly around. And as even more time passes, the memory fades more and more to the point where you convince yourself you remember the story clearly, when in reality all you know for sure is that you 'traveled the ___, jumped over the ___, into the ___, back to the___'
@@cheesecraft789 I think the blanket is referring to a "safety blanket", that sort of feeling where you only do things you would do at home but in a different place which I find is intrinsically related to thinking things completely through. In other words, if he traveled thinking closely about all his actions, he probably wouldn't have nearly as much fun as just being there. This also means that what he does during that time is harder to remember cause he was just living in the moment.
Without his blanket holding him down, he can "fly around"
edit: I feel like I explained this badly, if so pls say so and I can reword it
No no no If bill wurtz songs have meaning wouldn't that mean we should be sad? His nonesencial music that makes him unique!
@@GalacticSquidWhisperer the fun part is trying to get meaning without the knowledge of there being one
I love how even though this may seem like a mess of randomness, theres actually a message/moral behind these songs and we all subconsciously get it. Crazy good work Bill, never lets me down.
well now I wanna know what you think the moral of this one is
MacaronAndCheese the sky is larger than any sky can be
I think this one is about reflecting on the passage of time and grappling with the fact that you once had a future life visualized in your head that you now have to compare to where your path has really taken you. In the end of the song he comes to terms with it while still accepting he doesn't quite understand what to think about the feelings it's causing him, and acknowledging that he'll still create these expectations for his future even though he'll never truly know exactly how the story will end.@@macaronandcheese18113
Honestly Bill, I just wanted to say thank you.

“Ooo Ahh Oh eee My universe is spinning towards the future.
Somewhere in the 7th scene where no one understands the point of view which you now find so familiar”
Possibly my favourite Wurtz lyric of all time
He says galaxy instead of universe but yeah that line is so good
I walk over the earth in special sandals
I took those sandals off
Now I can fly around
Some people wonder why the Sun is not very bright
My arms are much too tired for this conversation
I travel the distance in between where I was
And where I would like to be a little later
The sky is falling
The sky is larger
Than any sky could be
Ooh, ah, oh, wee
My calendar is telling me it's the future
Somewhere there's a second scene
With characters that never speak
But you still know exactly what they mean
And you still know exactly what the story will be
I travel the world without my blanket
So when I'm feeling tired
I can just fly around
Most people wonder if the moon is part of the sky
Or if it's just a decoration added later
Ooh, ah, oh, wee
My galaxy is spinning toward the future
Somewhere in the seventh scene
Where no one understands the point of view
That you now find so familiar
Oh
My memories are coming back in ways I wasn't ready for
But I'm still enjoying the way it feels
So I'm holding onto the details
Capture this moment in a series of carefully chosen words and phrases
And then replay it
I walk over the earth in special sandals
I kick those sandals off and watch them fly around
I didn't notice if they ever landed
But if they d, o I'll understand the reason
Ooh, ah, oh, wee
The melody is drifting into the future
And I feel pretty good about what time it is
About what day it ever was and how it came to this
Ooh, the memory is drifting back in ways
That I'll pretend to know and understand
And I pretend to know exactly how the story will end
I travel the-
Walk over the-
Into the-
Back to the-

Honestly dude
this is my favourite out of your music catalogue. I hope you make more songs like these
same this one is definitely the best imo
This is definitely, by far, my favorite song of his. Something about it is just so perfect to me
This isn't a song, it's an experience. Just like all of Bill's music. Every new song he makes seems to unlock some kind of strange new emotion.
Well explained!

Bill's songs are like dreams, so confusing, yet it almost makes sense.
I'm all for it.
That's "dadaism" for ya
That's it!
Oh man, this is an instant favourite. You really never go wrong with these tracks, Bill. Well done
'somewhere theres a second scene with characters that never speak, but you still know exactly what they mean'
hit hard even though i can't put my finger on any characters i know that make me feel that way at the moment
Assuming this song was written from your personal experiences and feelings, I'm so happy for you. We love you and wish the best for you Bill
We do we do!
Wholesome comment is wholesome.
I love the abstract style of Bill's songs because we can interpret them in different ways which make them all the more precious.
exactly!!! a target he's said he always likes to hit is songwriting is keeping things abstract and open to interpretation, while still making the feelings all real. unfortunately this leads to a lot of people assuming it's all random, because the meaning isn't as direct as in a lot of other pop music, but oh well, their loss. glad to see someone else gets it
I’ve been really struggling with reality since my amputation. I just want to say this helped me forget my existence for just a moment in time. Thank you Bill. It might be a silly song, but it brought me so much happiness.
i like how bill's songs sound like a stream of consciousness but from the mind of someone in the world that works differently than ours.
Thought it gonna be a quirky upbeat comedy-ish one like usual but this song “hit me in ways I wasn’t ready for, but I still enjoying the way it feels”. The most beautiful one so far.
none of his more recent songs are comedic at all (apart from maybe "outside" or "moon cheese"), you're just letting the.... playfulness of some of the lines distract you from all the meaningful feelings
@@Squiddit Yea, maybe comedic isn’t a right word here. But previous one always got lighthearted feeling. Even some of the lyrics are impactful but it always seemed to not taking the world too seriously. This song however is new to me.
@@jaabbbb yeah tons of his songs are light-hearted for sure. and yeah, this one is definitely a bit more serious, but of course since it's bill, we still get playful lines like "i took those sandals off, now i can fly around". it's also very abstract lyrically, but the feelings are still real, which is what i like about his music and he's said that's a target he often tries to hit in his songwriting. it gives you a sort of magical feeling, and he's been getting better at hitting these feelings with every song it seems. so yeah i get u :3

@keep rollin stop the bots
he's had his style since the beginning, he did something unique and found his niche
There aren't very many artists that do this. I'm a metalhead at heart (though I love all music), but it's sorta the difference between Nickleback and System of a Down. They both have very unique styles that are instantly recognizable but System is far superior because their songs are also distinct within their style. I love artists that have a unique (capitol V) Voice, but also experiment within that Voice to make each song it's own unique experience. That, to me, is the genius of Bill Wurtz.

@@pleep1887 yes
@@pleep1887 Its possible, however what I would assume is that most, or at least parts of these songs were written in years prior. i mean, the year he took off was mainly him learning 3d animation, i assume work on these songs started in that time period
I frickin love how he mixed together the 2d stuff we all know and love, and the newer 3D stuff. Keep up the great work Bill!
i love how bill writes his lyrics. there's no clear meaning behind any of it, and i frankly prefer it like that. it gives every person a chance to interpret the song their own way, which makes it feel a little more special!
i've listened to this song so many times that the meaning has become so so clear to me - this song feels like clarity
@@bon.8819A lot of his songs have way more meaning than most people give credit for. I've been following him for a long time and listened to the audio diaries on his website, and I think the more you know about him the easier it is to see that most of his songs are very honest and personal.
this feels like a song about having to be so, so cautious to not be misunderstood in your own life, an anthem for that particular combination of social anxiety and autism that makes for good piblic speakers and spectacularly distant people.
I wonder if people actually know how awesome the editing on these videos is. The simple drawings imply otherwise, but all of the actual editing he's doing here is pretty complex and honestly really impressive.
ive edited some vids and holy shit it took long, the end result isnt even impressive
so i cant just imagine how much time it takes to edit + 3d animate this
This seems like a new step forward for Bill. It’s just as random and unexpected as always but more musically interesting and a great vibe. Well done!
OH MY GOD. AT THE START OF THE VIDEO WHEN IT SAYS SHAPES AND TURNS COLOR. IT SAYS SHADES INSTEAD FOR A SECOND. MY MIND IS BLOWN
its at 0:03
This song unironically made me question everything around me
why did you comment twice on a video?
The complexity and layering of the wurtz style of art never fails to leave me in awe.
This song feels extremely different to others he has made. It still has the somewhat chaotic element, but Bill really makes you focus on the beat this time, while adding familiar existential words to add emotion.
2:07 was an extremely beautiful transition, the animation perfectly represented the feeling that was made in that moment.
This is my new favorite, old one was “here comes the sun”.
here comes the sun is still def my fav but this is a rlly close second, all his songz r amazing :D

Personally, my favorite is probably still "La de da de da de day oh." I have cried numerous times while listening to it, lmao. The emotional portions just hit me like a truck every time, idk entirely why
I really like might quit
i thought this song felt different. it felt like rewatching the first episode of a show and then the last episode.
i love the line at 0:36 because it’s the most over complicated way of saying “i want to go somewhere”
OK, having listened to this constantly for the last eight months, I can happily say that this is my favorite song of yours. I think I was initially turned off by the repetitive opening, but I've come to appreciate it more for how it builds anticipation for when it finally changes to the chorus, which is phenomenal. I really love the lyrics, they feel a little more meaningful to me than your other pieces. The freedom of the rhythm in that line is so fun to sing along to, followed by the drop off on 'oh' giving it a momentum into the following memories lyric is just SO good. The chorus in this song is catchy but not to an annoying degree. The underlying beat is easy and fun to groove to. The imagery in the music video is also gorgeous. I mean, look at 2:07 for christ's sake! stuff's beautiful. Thanks for writing this, man! It's such a pleasure to listen to and groove to.
“My memories are coming back in ways I wasnt ready for, but Im still enjoying the way it feels” I love it

Ye, I admire the lyrics of all his tracks.
I know it gets said so frequently that it loses meaning, but I genuinely look forward to every new bill wurtz upload, however frequent or rare they may be. I never know what I'm in for, even while I'm listening, but I know I'll enjoy the ride
The first verse has a clever line that I don't see people mentioning.
"Some people wonder why the sun is not very bright / My arms are much too tired for this conversation"
It's because he's flying around, his arms are tired from flapping. Get it? Also it may be a nod to the story of Icarus, though that could be a stretch. Basically he's saying he doesn't have time for negativity.
holy fuck thank you for pointing that out that’s brilliant
Bill is like this pure, lovely combination of Order/Chaos, and whenever he comes out with new songs it puts a smile on my face :)
Edit: Holy crap I have never gotten this many likes on a comment ever. Thank you all! O.O
it’s chaotically organized
also the people who made the bot accounts above me really need to touch grass
@@kaphizmey6229 Yes you are right they Gotta touch some Grass real quick
@fine go touch grass
Or uranium
Yeah, same. Love his feel-good style.
Chaotic good
it's incredible to see him grow as an artist, both musically and animatically, if that's a word. New Canaan is still one of my all-time faves. Keep on keeping on, man!
same! i hope he keeps making amazing content too
for some reason this song sends chills down my spine every time i finish listening to it and to be honest i love it
This song is just: *Borderline Nonsense until the chorus*
“Oo Ah Oh Ee
My calendar is telling me it’s the future.”
Shit man, it sure is.
“Somewhere there’s a second scene,
With characters that never speak,
But you still know exactly what they mean.”
*Fighting back tears* Fuck, yeah man I guess there really is.
Just tonal whiplash, I love it.
These songs convey otherwise indescribable emotions perfectly.
this one is nostalgia!
This bops more than any song has. It's calm, it's confusing, and it's just good. I usually use this rating as a joke, but seriously, 11/10.
Edit: Aperently the replies think I am saying I watched the entire video by the time I made this comment and I'm commenting for likes, but I'm not. I just liked the song and I was at the part where it was calm which is about 3/4ths into the song. Saying this again, I just like the song, okay?
You couldn't even have watched it completely by the time u posted the comment, u just want likes :)
@@DavidIRL9 I watched around 3/4ths of the song by then. I could tell by the first fourth.
@@DavidIRL9 they watched 2 minutes
@@DavidIRL9 best to give the video at least 24 hours before going to the comments of a popular UA-camr, so most of the spam bots are taken down and the likes are given to true comments instead of the ones made for likes.
can't wait for this to be added to streaming platforms
It's somehow extremely random and profound at the same time
This is like the aftermath of a long journey of intense reflection, and you're at that point where you know where you wanna go moving forward but unsure of where you'll end up yet embrace it, your incertain future and your messy questionnement.
2:55 & 3:21 is such a mood on that perspective
One of the most amazing stuff about your songs are that there is so little direct meaning in the lyrics that it's possible to see almost whatever you want in the songs! I watched multiple times each time focusing on something new and the song made just as great, tho a completely new, sense as last time.
Keep up the great work! I love opening UA-cam and randomly seeing a new video from you!
maybe i am a total idiot, but i occasionally tear up at the songs
i think usually, with songs, trying to get what the artist meant somewhat grounds me, and the more specific they are, the less i am likely to empathise
since bill's songs are basically meaningless, i just think about my own experiences so it feels very touching
@@aiocafea EXACTLY!
They can literally feel so personal!
I love all the tiny details in the animation. Things like “alternate angle” make me laugh
@JacksonChen666 what an insightful reply. I’m dumbfounded by the pure genius
Still loving how well Bill is mixing his 2D and 3D editing style.
Why does this song actually hit hard?
Goddamn the combination of chords and melody when "future" hits is so damn wonderful (0:58)
Nah the whole song is wonderful
The vibes are incredibly funky
0:55
Bill Wurtz kind of embodies the feeling of jazz.
Like not just in the music but also in the visuals and lyrics. It’s like a flowing stream of consciousness, not always making sense, seemingly improvised and going wherever he wants.
Stream of consciousness is a very interesting way to write music!
Absolutely, just unrestrained abstraction
READ MY NAME!!!!!!
!!!!!
His voice is like hearing a cuddle, it's always so nice to hear him
Screw famous singers and animators. I love this man's videos.
I kept waiting for the trademark dissonance and jarring vibes, and it never quite came - everything was harmonic, relaxed - except for that *brief* mention of the future near the end that leaves a faint note of ‘hmmm.’ I had no idea how much I would love bill wurtz music that isn’t existential nightmare. it’s so… so nice. I love this.
@fine that was not nice. I'm a Cristain. and I'm mad...
@@NikkiDrawsStuff im sorry, what are you mad about, and whats not nice? also, this is a youtube comment section, so nobody cares about being nice
@@NikkiDrawsStuff “Cristain”🤣 you mean Christian???? Lmaoooo
Well said! That's why it felt so especially nice with its cheerfulness!
Yeah, the melody always resolves, but I like how the lyrics don't resolve at the end.
Much needed dose of music in these trying times.
Yeah it's so chill
@ТоммуIппit 🅥 shusheth
I know, right?
Agreed
oh my god how many bots are there
I love just the two-note melody. Just the simplicity of it makes me smile a lot. Definitely in the top five.
"My arms are too tired for this conversation" is my new favorite excuse.
I was just vibing, happy I could actually follow a Bill Wurtz song for once, and then 2:49 comes out of no where and clocks me with a Music Theory textbook
This was incredibly comforting, without there being any structure to the words. It just... It really helped me relax after feeling so sad
Same here bro. Bill never takes himself too seriously and neither should we.
Same, I was feeling incredibly down when this song released and it really struck me emotionally, I almost cried.
@time that video is bad, and you should feel bad
guys. he is actually saying more than we know. bill is a genius. all the things you think are meaningless are metaphors
the way bill blended his signature 2D animation with what he's learned about 3D animation is just... genius tbh
1:38 “Most people wonder if the moon is apart of the sky, or if its just a decoration added later”
damn i mean according to the Hebrew scriptures (or Old Testament of the bible for y’all Christians like me) i guess it was added later and could be just a decoration
This is the kind of music that I love but glad that it’s only one person doing. It adds charm to it that only he can achieve.
I love all of Bill's songs but the lyrics of this one hit me particularly hard. He has such a talent for describing a daydream in a way that makes you emotional
The transition from shape to shade and back to shape again near the start (around 0:03) is so good ;v;
finally someone pointed out how tired people's arms can get from conversations
