The og version of It’s All Futile! It’s All Pointless! reflects the hurt of loosing a relationship and the Lovejoy remake reflects moving on from a relationship and I think that’s beautiful.
I love both versions so much they both are so close to my heart it also shows how good of an artist wilbur is being able to create two very different emotions of the same lyrics (I know they changed the it’s ok part but other than that) i’m so glad they remade it because when I first heard the old version I was feeling how the song felt and now I listen to the lovejoy version and feel so free and amazing like i’ve overcome so much since then so yeah I love this song
overused analogy but it's literally like a moth, or butterfly. catepillar-og version, cocoon-one day, incel trilogy, things are moving and changing around it while its going under changes, moth/butterfly-lovejoy version, finally its full fruition, fascinating how much instruments can aid a song
It’s weird seeing all the comments like “how did I never know about this???” cause the first thing I did when finding ycgma was look for other Wilbur songs and found this album a little over a year ago now. It’s like a little “oh shit I’ve been in this community a lot longer that most” type thing
Can we talk about how Wilbur said he’s only been playing the guitar for only a year and half so this was pretty early into him learning and he was already super good?
i’m pretty sure he has been playing guitar for more years because he reacted to his old videos where was like 19 and he was covering a song and playing guitar
Wilbur’s serious songs are so confusing to me because they are about HIS very specific experiences yet i am able to relate to all of them in some way or other.
Same. I don't relate to the lyrics exactly but like... just the feeling of crying into a mic and strumming the guitar is so comforting. I know he's not crying but his voice has that strained sorta tone to it. I currently have plans to learn the guitar and I wanna do covers of Maybe I Was Boring and Jubilee Line because those songs just... get me?
Maybe I was Boring and Your City Gave Me Asthma have been my comfort albums for a little over a year at this point. I remember when ycgma had like, 27k views and I was thinking “dang this is underrated” Anyway welcome new listener hope you’re having a good time!
@@sara_daria2 my top 50 listened to songs on spotify haven't changed for over a year (i've had it since 2015) and i'm sorry boris has been the first song to finally break it and move things around and i just started listening to ycgma in like october :']
My mom asked me what songs I listen to, I don’t often share personal stuff like music with her, so I wasn’t sure what to turn on I decided on this album, we listened to it driving at 11 pm, she said she really liked it it was a nice moment of connection This is probably my favorite album ever
Wait, she was ok with It’s All Futile! It’s All Pointless! ? Like- “maybe use a sextant” “fucking” “how many drugs have you done”?- cuz if so, damn, your mom is chill
@@Mymoola its a device people used to determin the angle between the horizon and a celestial body such as the Sun, the Moon, or a star, used in celestial navigation to determine latitude and longitude. Or basically used to travel with boats
"It's All Futile! It's All Pointless!" is my favorite Edit: first of all thank you for all the likes. Secondly, I know this was remade for Pebble Brain
Wilbur so far has two types of songs, emotional and funny, he pulls both off flawlessly The emotional songs kind of connect with you and the simple rhythms stick in your head. Then the lyrics just paint this perfect picture that just pull you in. The funny ones are a perfect use of wordplay and the surroundings. They also utilize internet jokes that turn a pitiful story to a funny tune that you sing with your friends at 3 in the morning. Wilbur is a very talented artist and I’m thrilled that so many people love his songs and feel the way I do Edit: It’s been a bout a week and this comment is almost at 1,000 likes wtf I thought this would just get ignored- Anyways obligatory thank y’all so much💜 Edit p.2: A challenger approaches… With the release of the beloved Lovejoy comes a third type, joins the battle. Now I categorize these partly under the funny section, not because of humor, although there are great lines that make me laugh. They are a branch of the funny tree, they keep the energy of songs like “Your New Boyfriend” and make it their own. But they do also relate to the singing with friends, but I get more singing on a road trip vibes Thanks for coming to my Ted talk, I will update according to new releases and edit when the styles change (if I remember, it’s a Ranboo type beat yk?) EDIT P.3: WE DID IT BOYS! NEW EP IS OUT AND WHEN I TELL YOU I SCREAMED ITS ALL FUTILE IM TELLING YOU I DID. Anyways, the only perfect way to describe it was as one commenter said, “it’s like YCGMA and Are You Alright had a child”… definitely gonna go on the emotional branch, it just leans a little closer to the funny for reasons stated above, have a fantastic 24hrs everybody!
"What was your thought when you realized you'll never feel naive love again?" this line has been placed in my brain and it doesn't seem to want to leave
Really? To me it has a more chipper and lighter mood than ycgma. To me it feels like a more grown up, sarcastic person who is trying to cover up his other problems with jokes.
@@princesssparrow4530 100% agree. Just because it isn't talking about jumping into trains doesn't mean it doesn't have depth. I see your city gave me asthma like his first big break up that leaves him scarred. Maybe I was boring seems more mature trying to reason with the relationship, but like the title of the last song he finds out dwelling on her memories as futile and pointless and thanks her for those memories.
Removing this from my playlist so I don’t get jump scared by the depression of losing something I love while driving to work, but saving it elsewhere because maybe several years from now I’ll come back to it and remember how I felt as a young adult
I can't believe that no one ever talks about this album! I think I might like it more than "Your City Gave Me Asthma" if we are being completely honest... I am just disappointed I am only finding out about it now.
Wilbur songs are like starting like every time, ironically funny, normal, then realize that your getting deeper in what you're saying till you just start saying your feelings with some weird sadness that came from no where
white wine in a weatherspoons is one of my favorite songs, like of all time. this ep/album means the world to me, and even if it’s a little selfish, i love how secret it is. like it’s just for me, even if that’s not true. :)
@@pinacials_4244 I remember when ycgma was pretty hidden! I remember feeling sad that it wasn't more popular and that Wilbur wasn't discouraged. I'm glad it's more popular now but there is a little part of me that wishes it was still more hidden. it felt like my secret.
He hates it because first, as he said before he doesn't connect to the lyrics anymore which means he's at a better place in terms of mental health now, and second i think is because he thinks he could've done better which is great on his part since it means that he's improving
@@brrrba1211 thats fair-- i watched the stream and understand what he means. its just a great album and he had to have started somewhere to be who he is now. i understand that it means hes doing better- but that doesnt invalidate the effort he put into this.
Maybe I Was Boring is perhaps my favourite of any song Wilbur's made - it's a shame it didn't ever get officially released :/ I also really enjoy this version of IAF!IAP! despite the more upbeat lovejoy version being more popular amongst most - this one feels a lot more heartfelt and there's something more touching about it :)
I really want him to put all of his songs onto Spotify so that I can listen to them on road trips and bus rides. His songs give me distraction. His songs give me comfort.
i used to tell my friends this was my favourite wilbur song ever, the last time i told someone they were the one to tell me what he'd done. i sobbed for hours listening to this after hearing it. i still come back here every once in a while.
@@nyx1841 open.spotify.com/track/7nKllnHIkLet3a3JKWrPtI?si=Gxz1uriLTbyO3RZ-_y94xw : when you listen to the entire thing, it turns out to be the whole album in one song (thats why it's 13 minutes long.)
there's something about this ep that is so special to me. maybe it's the face-paced guitar, maybe it's softness in his voice, or maybe it's the stories told by these few songs. it doesn't really matter, though. this ep feels like spring melting into summer, it feels like sandals, or maybe being barefoot and standing on warm concrete. it's comforting. it's special.
Seeing all the comments trapped from 3 years ago is so disheartening. Wilburs legacy deserves to stick in the mud but his influence was undeniable. This is how things are and will be for years to come.
Wilbur's action are inexcusable but I do hope he gets the help he needs. He is traumatized as a veteran and clearly has issues. This explains his behavior, but doesn't justify it.
I mean yes it's funny, but also exciting in a way when you realize how good the EP is, I mean [And I've been repeating this a lot in some comments lol] I just now discovered Wilbur's version of "It's all Futile! It's all Pointless!" And I couldn't be happier about it It's never too late to discover or listen to other songs of any artist ever 🫶
This song reminds me of my first relationship, I was so naive, he took everything he could from me, but then he stayed. I felt so so trapped for so long in that relationship I felt so oddly dependent on the man that was using me, I’m so glad I’m not in that part of my life anymore. To anyone out there reading, things do get better, I know it doesn’t mean much but I promise they do.
@@Breadanimals you should look up about shelby and her past boyfriend parker. She accused him of abuse and it was all proven false. She even deleted everything she said about it. And on one occasion where shelby and wilbur are talking on a phasmaphobia video? I think. Shelby kept flirting and saying she knew wil had a crush on her. All while dating another guy. She has made homophobic comments and said that depression doesn’t exist and its just an excuse for people to be lazy
@@Breadanimals her story changes constantly and she has currently deleted all her vods where she talks about it, which is weird. There are no proof about wilbur biting her until it bruised or bled. During their relationship she posted a lot of photos which showed no bite marks. And she seemed pretty happy in them also
i love how lovejoy remade "its all futile its all pointless" cause that definitely was my favourite from this. and because its the same song, we can clearly hear his improvement i love it so much :'))))
white wine in a wetherspoons is so underrated. i remember when i first listened to this EP it was immediately my favourite and i had it on repeat for a while lol
it feels weird coming back to wilbur's songs knowing that they influenced me despite the creator being less than a good person i used to be able to play these songs, but when i got into green day, mcr, and linkin park, i stopped playing these songs. i used to be able to play through his whole discography. i can only play since i saw vienna now.
Whenever I have a panic attack or can't stop crying, I put in my earbuds and listen to this album. Something about the homemade acoustics and the simple but effective lyrics help me calm down. It doesn't matter where I am. I can just listen to this album and my problems seem to melt away into the lyrics. I'm going away to college to live on my own for the first time in a week. Nothing will be familiar and I know I'm going to take it hard. But as long as I have this album I know I'll be alright, if only for the few minutes of peace these songs grant.
Everyone's back after pebble brain came out and then theres me whos been loving this album the whole time and its all futile its all pointless has always been my favourite
Honestly, this album really comforted me after I broke up with an incredibly toxic, abusive ex. He was depicted similarly to the guy in the song. I never got the connection until now, and it hurts, but that doesn't change all of the good that came from his music even if Wilbur Soot is a terrible person.
I love coming back to this album, this and YCGMA will always have a special place in my heart. I really hope lovejoy fans will be able to explore some of Wil’s older music like this without people gatekeeping, it’s such an amazing album and everyone deserves to enjoy it.
i cant even begin to explain how deep my connection with “for memories” is. wilbur is such a talented artist in how he makes it possible for people to connect their personal experiences to his. his songs have helped me so much, its honestly incredible
I can't describe how grateful I am to have discovered Wilbur. His voice and just overall vibe is healing. I think UA-cam somehow knew I needed him in my life. The songs speak volumes and help keep me grounded. Life kinda sucks and... you know. He helps me not feel alone. hes so real and out there and genuinely himself. If I were to ever meet I don't think I could ever release him from a hug. I'm so grateful for this man. (I'm not crying my eyes are just sweaty).
This gives me the same feeling as it did when i listened to the YCGMA album... The sadness but bliss, the feeling of reminiscence. Like the feeling that this has happened to you before, even if it hasnt. Like this happened to you in another life or something. UHH idk if im like over doing it but thats what it feels like
Please look up more about the situation, wilbur might’ve done wrong things but Shelby is even worse. She’s accused her past exes of abuse too and it was all proven false.
my comfort album :’) Screensaver and It’s all futile! it’s all pointless! will always be my favorite songs to linger to when I can’t sleep thank you Mr Soot
i think people need to talk more abt screensaver, that song is so underrated and i think it really needs attention, generally wilburs songs are amazing and i think all his songs deserve the attention the get :)
Ive been watching this video for the past three years, I started when It was at 500 views. This video and someone elses ycgma video are the only things that pull me through my fathers death. I was listening to ycgma the day i found him. And sometimes, when i watch and close my eyes and listen. I can still hear his voice and laughter and pretend im in my old house with him. He died in 2021. Thank you.
Shelby has done wrong things too, please look through more evidence before supporting her. ‘Innocent until proven guilty’, sh*lby has not given any proof of bruises/ being bitten until she bled. And shes accused her past exes of abuse too and it was all proven false
IKR??? I LITERALLY JUST SCREAMED WHEN I HEARD IT IN HERE But I am just disappointed in myself that I didn't hear to the whole thing when I first found it Now I'm just happy that Wilbur got to make "IAF!IAP!" Something about finally moving on
I really don't get why he didn't like these songs. They just hit so much, I can't explain it. It feels like staying up all night with a loved one and watching the sun slowly rise. Especially White wine in a Wetherspoons, it just sounds like having A sleepover in a house next to a busy street with your friends, having fun and feeling the night pass and watching the sun shine afterwards. Calm with slight chaos. It's amazing how different experiences we all have but still relate to the same songs.
a bird flew into my window a few hours ago while i was home alone. it happens pretty often and i don’t usually think anything of it, but for some reason i decided to go outside and check on the bird when i found it lying on its side breathing heavily. i started crying, which was weird cos i don’t usually get emotional over things like that. i knew i couldn’t touch it but i wasn’t going to leave until it either got better or died. i sat next to the bird and played this playlist about two times through whilst crying until the bird finally got up onto its stomach. a few minutes later it flew up into a tree in my backyard. this playlist can rlly help me cope w anything
Can we take a moment to appreciate It's all futile! It's all pointless! Holy shit i found that song on my recommended one day and I've fell in love with it ever since

Tracklist 00:00 // Maybe I was Boring 02:10 // For Memories 05:39 // White Wine in a Wetherspoons 09:08 // It's All Futile! It's All Pointless! Lyrics - 00:00 // Maybe I was Boring he never had cool stories he doesn't make your heart beat used to love his mystery but now he's just exhausting another day spent just laying in his room the stench of incense and some undelivered food and she thought what if he thinks i'm the one? and i'll be forced to rot away with him and his obsessions with trivial things like the amount of fucking love hearts i finish a text message with and when you hold his hands it doesn't feel like flying and when you take his breath away he might as well be dying and you're dying to breathe you're trapped in his cage and it's shrinking and she thought what if he just never leaves? or he doesn't get the message and he doesn't hear my pleas? so she just started screaming why can't he just bore me to death? why can't he just bore me to death? oh, why can't he just bore me to death? why can't he just bore me to death? oh, why can't he just bore me to death? why can't he just bore me to death? oh, why can't he just bore me to death? Lyrics - 02:10 // For Memories we all move on some faster than others we all know we all sacrifice in a bath late in the evening building up sorrow but i can't say that i wasted my time 'cause i'm built by you and i can't say that i am glad it is over 'cause that wouldn't be true so thank you oh, thank you we both remember that day in the summer when you were sat on me and we cried oh, how we cried in that moment we've never been so happy but i can't say that i wasted my time 'cause i'm built by you and i can't say that i am glad it is over 'cause that wouldn't be true so thank you oh, thank you all i can say is thank you but i can't say that i won't miss you Lyrics - 05:39 // White Wine in a Wetherspoons one, two, three, four bouncer greets us at the door he can tell we've been here before so he lets us pass and we climb up fifteen flights of stairs and find that spot in the corner just over there it's only six-thirty but we're starting to drink i'm ordering the usual i think i need a change of pace london's bursting at the seams it's not quite the place i hoped i'd be it's white wine in a wetherspoons it's fine dining with cheap perfume it's country walks down the motorway how many drugs have you done today? 'cause concrete sculptures and broken glass it's the lamp posts who guide our paths because the moon can't get in and the clouds hang heavy blocking out his pursuit and booze hangs limply on our rental suits 'cause we're fires, we're burning bright breaking bottles and starting fights but the evening has other plans run as they pull up with two more vans it's white wine in a wetherspoons it's fine dining with cheap perfume it's country walks down the motorway how many drugs have you done today? but i won't fuss i'll let you pass no, i won't fuss i'll let you pass 'cause it's only white wine in a wetherspoons fine dining with cheap perfume DLR closed due to worker's strike god knows how i'll get home tonight Lyrics - 09:08 // It's All Futile! It's All Pointless! i lost the passion that comes with living since i started university i took a geography course to learn the datelines and maybe use a sextant but now i just press facsimilies and you're exactly who you wanted to be that's what you said 'cause you wanna watch TV and sleep all day and lay in bed but you're forgetting that i've got to go to work and eat my food and pay my rent and reproduce and feed those kids and maybe use a sextant i don't miss you i miss the thought of what we were this is the part where i shut up and let you infest my brain wrap your arms around my cortex, dig you in and let you drain you'll never get rid of me, oh i'm like a fucking disease i'll make a home in your gut 'cause it's somewhere warm to sleep what was your thought when you realised you'll never feel naïve love again was it pain or was it sickness? were you proud of who you'd been? the shyness waiting for his phone calls replaced by apathy 'n' dating apps you held his hands, it felt like flying now he's just another man you'd rather he was inside than beside you but he's talking marriage and a future he's picking a lock he doesn't go into less knife in a wound, he's a suture i don't miss you i miss the thought of what we were this is the part where i shut up and let you infest my brain but it's ok, it's a strategy to ensure i remain you will never get rid of me, i'm like a fucking disease i'll make a home in your gut 'cause it's somewhere warm to sleep it's ok it's ok eat my rent and eat my food and eat my dues and eat those kids and maybe use a sextant
To everyone that hates him but loves the music. Separate the art from the artist. Although he is a horrid person, his music is relatable to many. So go ahead and listen. The world sucks, don’t let it take you down.
i just realized wilburs music helps me calm down i was just crying because i was scared to do a presentation tomorrow and i was also scared to talk to my teacher about grades and i looked up wilbur soot music and this popped up thank you for making this video
Same- I’ve been crying because I’m moving for the 4th time in 6 years after I just made friends, and I just have to deal with it because it’s my dads job. Really helps to sit in a bathtub to this
I forgot about this EP. I was in a terrible place mentally when I didcovered it and would cry for hours listening to this. Especially after i met this one person and for the first time i felt loved. I fucked up, because of being terrible at holding a basic conversation and my inability to express my feelings I've been ghosting him for almost two years now. I was planning to say sorry for all the shit ive put him through and to say thank you, because hes the reason i started to actually work on myself. Words "So thank you. All i can say is thank you" appeared in my head out of nowhere. Thats how i got here once again, thankfully in a much better shape. Im having this bittersweet feeling listening to these songs, but at least i dont relate to them as much.
i've been listening to this ep basically on loop since mid february 2021. that month, and so far this one as well, have been incredibly difficult for me, mental health wise, relationship with friends and family wise, school wise, and mental health wise. essentially anytime i'm overwhelmed and having a panic attack, or feel shitty i put on the album, just as a little comfort. my absolute favorite song on the album is white wine in weatherspoons. something about it gives me hope for the future, which is something very rare for me right now. this ep means so much to me and holds such a special place in my heart, as it's been one of the few things getting me through this time in my life
I already have nostalgia from just like a year and a half ago, in online school not caring about whatever we had to do, listening to this EP on repeat, talking with friends all day, and playing games with them. It sounds so lame, but it was honestly some of the most fun I’ve had.
Absolutely, i remember playing this at 30% volume while playing pirated minecraft bedwars and laughing and screaming and enjoying ourselves. It's long gone now, but i still think about it every once in a while and reminisce. I really haven't been able to feel that sort of pure goddamn happiness in quite a bit but this album makes me wanna tear up. anyways, if anyone's reading this, thanks and sorry it was long lol
You shouldn’t say you hate someone for something you don’t know all the details about. He’s human just like all of us, and therefore he makes mistakes too. He also seems pretty troubled. I’m no WSS guy, and I know what he did was terrible, but I think he should be given a second chance. He seems genuinely sorry about the whole incident. Plus, both people seem happy now, so maybe it’s time we all put the drama down. You can still dislike him and what he did, but maybe hate’s too much.
i dont watch wilbur, i dont really listen to him or lovejoy but this album is different. this is the first music i heard by him, this is what my best friend showed me. 3yrs later we still listen to it at break/lunch thru his wireless earphones. this album connected us and it always will. i love my best friend sm
came her for some comfort cause i don't wanna cry and im feeling lost. wilbur music as always been a huge for comfort place for me, i wish i could thank him
I heard some of these and liked it long ago and idk when or where time just kinda passed, I got into MCYT and almost forgot these though I've always felt Wilbur's voice was bit familiar today I just found this idk what to say its just old memories from my 'original' life out of MCYT flooding back
Since a lot of people seem confused about what is going on the album art, on the Bandcamp page for the album it says "the album art is me on the floor" Bandcamp page: wilbursoot.bandcamp.com/album/maybe-i-was-boring
something about this title, something about the prospect of someone looking back at a life or a relationship and seeing it wasted bc they weren't good enough, breaks my heart a little.
the fact that i remember the first night i listened to this ep/album and not what i ate for breakfast yesterday i think just shows how much of an impact its had on my life
even though Wilbur doesnt like his past songs because he regretted it and doesn't feel the same as his past self anymore, this album is literally free-therapy and I will keep listening to it
I came back here after i saw an edit audio on tiktok with both versions of ITS ALL FUTILE ITS ALL POINTLESS and i wanted to see the original song. I just realize in how much pain was wilbur in 2019-2020
around february last year, when this video had around 200k views- i was struggling a whole lot with school and had to send all the 50+ missing assigments i hadn't done before march. I spent the entire month doing each assignment one by one, all while having this video on loop, since i had just discovered it and man- this helped me go through it so much more :') so ty for uploading this, if it wasn't for you, i would've probably gone insane with trying to complete all those assignments lmao and as to the present, I'm currently doing p good at school, scoring A+ and such B)
Wilbur took the last song and remade it to fit Lovejoy! I just knew I recognized the lyric "and maybe use a sextant" when listening to the new EP. It's makes me so amazed that Wilbur took older content, that he doesn't necessarily like, and revamped it- he's one of the most talented people I've ever stumbled upon here. Massive amounts of lovehearts to that man
9:08 my favorite song, it just reminds me of my bestfriend, she was pretty toxic, the "I don't miss you, I miss the thought of what we were" part was just too acurate because I couldn't take it anymore, I felt replaced, I was sad, she didn't care or comfort, Instead she just made it worse, I didn't tell her anything of how I felt when I was with her, so I finally did it, I told her everything, then made my goodbye message, blocked her
im very happy that 'It's all fuitle! Its all pointless!' made it onto lovejoys new album, it sounds amazing, i will always appreciate the original version of it

The og version of It’s All Futile! It’s All Pointless! reflects the hurt of loosing a relationship and the Lovejoy remake reflects moving on from a relationship and I think that’s beautiful.
waiting for my lovejoy remake 😄😄😄
I love both versions so much they both are so close to my heart it also shows how good of an artist wilbur is being able to create two very different emotions of the same lyrics (I know they changed the it’s ok part but other than that) i’m so glad they remade it because when I first heard the old version I was feeling how the song felt and now I listen to the lovejoy version and feel so free and amazing like i’ve overcome so much since then so yeah I love this song
overused analogy but it's literally like a moth, or butterfly. catepillar-og version, cocoon-one day, incel trilogy, things are moving and changing around it while its going under changes, moth/butterfly-lovejoy version, finally its full fruition, fascinating how much instruments can aid a song

Can we talk about how Wilbur said he’s only been playing the guitar for only a year and half so this was pretty early into him learning and he was already super good?

My mom asked me what songs I listen to, I don’t often share personal stuff like music with her, so I wasn’t sure what to turn on
I decided on this album, we listened to it driving at 11 pm, she said she really liked it
it was a nice moment of connection
This is probably my favorite album ever
Wait, she was ok with It’s All Futile! It’s All Pointless! ?
Like- “maybe use a sextant” “fucking” “how many drugs have you done”?-

I swear, whenever I think I've heard all of this man's music there's another album I missed
Another song for you if you haven't heard it is screensaver, I believe that was one of the last ones for me to find.
Ikr? I found this like two weeks ago and it's beautiful. I can't wait till I find another one. It's like a lil scavenger hunt of songs.

Wilbur so far has two types of songs, emotional and funny, he pulls both off flawlessly
The emotional songs kind of connect with you and the simple rhythms stick in your head. Then the lyrics just paint this perfect picture that just pull you in.
The funny ones are a perfect use of wordplay and the surroundings. They also utilize internet jokes that turn a pitiful story to a funny tune that you sing with your friends at 3 in the morning.
Wilbur is a very talented artist and I’m thrilled that so many people love his songs and feel the way I do
Edit: It’s been a bout a week and this comment is almost at 1,000 likes wtf I thought this would just get ignored-
Anyways obligatory thank y’all so much💜
Edit p.2:
A challenger approaches…
With the release of the beloved Lovejoy comes a third type, joins the battle. Now I categorize these partly under the funny section, not because of humor, although there are great lines that make me laugh. They are a branch of the funny tree, they keep the energy of songs like “Your New Boyfriend” and make it their own. But they do also relate to the singing with friends, but I get more singing on a road trip vibes
Thanks for coming to my Ted talk, I will update according to new releases and edit when the styles change (if I remember, it’s a Ranboo type beat yk?)
EDIT P.3:
WE DID IT BOYS! NEW EP IS OUT AND WHEN I TELL YOU I SCREAMED ITS ALL FUTILE IM TELLING YOU I DID. Anyways, the only perfect way to describe it was as one commenter said, “it’s like YCGMA and Are You Alright had a child”… definitely gonna go on the emotional branch, it just leans a little closer to the funny for reasons stated above, have a fantastic 24hrs everybody!

I can't believe that no one ever talks about this album! I think I might like it more than "Your City Gave Me Asthma" if we are being completely honest... I am just disappointed I am only finding out about it now.
sameeeeee
It isn’t on Spotify tho
It was only released on SoundCloud, so a lot of people couldn't find it
I just found Wilbur's this album, I don't use Soundcloud often
i think ive heard some songs from this album idk but yeah its preety good.
Wilbur songs are like starting like every time, ironically funny, normal, then realize that your getting deeper in what you're saying till you just start saying your feelings with some weird sadness that came from no where
this is the perfect way to explain it
white wine in a weatherspoons is one of my favorite songs, like of all time. this ep/album means the world to me, and even if it’s a little selfish, i love how secret it is. like it’s just for me, even if that’s not true. :)
white wine in a wetherspoons is so good
also i agree with you on the other part too
thats exactly how i originally felt with ycgma as well, before it became more popular haha
@@pinacials_4244 I remember when ycgma was pretty hidden! I remember feeling sad that it wasn't more popular and that Wilbur wasn't discouraged. I'm glad it's more popular now but there is a little part of me that wishes it was still more hidden. it felt like my secret.
Which is which? I know the first was maybe I was boring but I don’t what orders are others
@@feister2869 5:39 :)
im sad that he hates the music that helps all of us cope
He hates it because first, as he said before he doesn't connect to the lyrics anymore which means he's at a better place in terms of mental health now, and second i think is because he thinks he could've done better which is great on his part since it means that he's improving
@@brrrba1211 thats fair-- i watched the stream and understand what he means. its just a great album and he had to have started somewhere to be who he is now. i understand that it means hes doing better- but that doesnt invalidate the effort he put into this.
@@brrrba1211 also he's said that he hates who he was and as he gets older he's happy because he's further away from who he was

Maybe I Was Boring is perhaps my favourite of any song Wilbur's made - it's a shame it didn't ever get officially released :/ I also really enjoy this version of IAF!IAP! despite the more upbeat lovejoy version being more popular amongst most - this one feels a lot more heartfelt and there's something more touching about it :)
i also really love maybe i was boring :) def my favorite from this ep (ep?? album?? idk its not official )
Wasn’t expecting too see this guy here
amogus
Oh hey Animagician! Love your vids!
strong agree on both points - i adore iaf!iap! but the lovejoy version just didn't do it for me :/
I really want him to put all of his songs onto Spotify so that I can listen to them on road trips and bus rides. His songs give me distraction. His songs give me comfort.

there's something about this ep that is so special to me. maybe it's the face-paced guitar, maybe it's softness in his voice, or maybe it's the stories told by these few songs. it doesn't really matter, though. this ep feels like spring melting into summer, it feels like sandals, or maybe being barefoot and standing on warm concrete. it's comforting. it's special.
fast-paced* lol
Seeing all the comments trapped from 3 years ago is so disheartening. Wilburs legacy deserves to stick in the mud but his influence was undeniable. This is how things are and will be for years to come.
Wilbur's action are inexcusable but I do hope he gets the help he needs. He is traumatized as a veteran and clearly has issues. This explains his behavior, but doesn't justify it.
I suppose all great musicians fucking suck as actual people. It really seems like in order to make good music, you have to lose your mind
@mellohi6175 if you dont mind explaining, what do you mean by veteran, i cant find any mention of will being in the military or anything
@@forceawakens4449 I think the original commenter meant that he is as traumatized as a veteran (as a comparison, not saying that he is one)
“i dont miss you, i miss the thought of what you were”
It's fun to see people just now discover this album.
It's such a good album, its a shame it wasn't released on more platforms than just soundcloud and bandcamp
I mean yes it's funny, but also exciting in a way when you realize how good the EP is, I mean [And I've been repeating this a lot in some comments lol] I just now discovered Wilbur's version of "It's all Futile! It's all Pointless!" And I couldn't be happier about it
It's never too late to discover or listen to other songs of any artist ever 🫶
This song reminds me of my first relationship, I was so naive, he took everything he could from me, but then he stayed. I felt so so trapped for so long in that relationship I felt so oddly dependent on the man that was using me, I’m so glad I’m not in that part of my life anymore. To anyone out there reading, things do get better, I know it doesn’t mean much but I promise they do.
I'll keep that in mind
i can't believe people still comment such nice things on this. makes me super happy :)
i come back to this every once in a while, it makes me feel happy :D

Please dont support shubble, please look more into the matter before accusing wilbur
@@AJ-ii7ccCould you please explain?
@@Breadanimals you should look up about shelby and her past boyfriend parker. She accused him of abuse and it was all proven false. She even deleted everything she said about it. And on one occasion where shelby and wilbur are talking on a phasmaphobia video? I think. Shelby kept flirting and saying she knew wil had a crush on her. All while dating another guy. She has made homophobic comments and said that depression doesn’t exist and its just an excuse for people to be lazy
@@Breadanimals her story changes constantly and she has currently deleted all her vods where she talks about it, which is weird. There are no proof about wilbur biting her until it bruised or bled. During their relationship she posted a lot of photos which showed no bite marks. And she seemed pretty happy in them also
@@Breadanimals for someone who was being abused, she seemed to be very obsessed with ith will
can i just say, at 11:45, the chord progression- its just so satisfying i cant
i love how lovejoy remade "its all futile its all pointless" cause that definitely was my favourite from this. and because its the same song, we can clearly hear his improvement i love it so much :'))))
white wine in a wetherspoons is so underrated. i remember when i first listened to this EP it was immediately my favourite and i had it on repeat for a while lol
RIGHT?
The way he says 1, 2, 3, 4 at 5:40 Kills Me Every Time
Yeah me too
Reminds me of saline solution in ycgma
it feels weird coming back to wilbur's songs knowing that they influenced me despite the creator being less than a good person
i used to be able to play these songs, but when i got into green day, mcr, and linkin park, i stopped playing these songs. i used to be able to play through his whole discography. i can only play since i saw vienna now.
Whenever I have a panic attack or can't stop crying, I put in my earbuds and listen to this album. Something about the homemade acoustics and the simple but effective lyrics help me calm down. It doesn't matter where I am. I can just listen to this album and my problems seem to melt away into the lyrics.
I'm going away to college to live on my own for the first time in a week. Nothing will be familiar and I know I'm going to take it hard. But as long as I have this album I know I'll be alright, if only for the few minutes of peace these songs grant.
How's living on your own been going?
I'm gonna be honest, it was difficult at first. But it's gotten easier as I've learned more :) Hope you're doing well wherever you are
for memories sounds so familiar to me and i dont know why..
It also sounds very similar in the chords as la Jolla on the your city gave me asthma Album
@@dandelions7522 I was just gonna say this. reminds me a lot of La Jolla
the chords sound a lot like La jolla from your city gave me asthma :)

I litterally found it this past weekend like I wish I had this before now
Ycgma: makes me cry, thinking about how I'm shuting everyone out of my life
Maybe I was boring: vibin
Honestly, this album really comforted me after I broke up with an incredibly toxic, abusive ex. He was depicted similarly to the guy in the song. I never got the connection until now, and it hurts, but that doesn't change all of the good that came from his music even if Wilbur Soot is a terrible person.
I love coming back to this album, this and YCGMA will always have a special place in my heart. I really hope lovejoy fans will be able to explore some of Wil’s older music like this without people gatekeeping, it’s such an amazing album and everyone deserves to enjoy it.
i cant even begin to explain how deep my connection with “for memories” is. wilbur is such a talented artist in how he makes it possible for people to connect their personal experiences to his. his songs have helped me so much, its honestly incredible
I can't describe how grateful I am to have discovered Wilbur. His voice and just overall vibe is healing. I think UA-cam somehow knew I needed him in my life. The songs speak volumes and help keep me grounded. Life kinda sucks and... you know. He helps me not feel alone. hes so real and out there and genuinely himself. If I were to ever meet I don't think I could ever release him from a hug. I'm so grateful for this man. (I'm not crying my eyes are just sweaty).
This gives me the same feeling as it did when i listened to the YCGMA album... The sadness but bliss, the feeling of reminiscence. Like the feeling that this has happened to you before, even if it hasnt. Like this happened to you in another life or something. UHH idk if im like over doing it but thats what it feels like
THATS EXACTLY HOW IM FEELIN HOW DID YOU DESCRIBE IT SO WELL LMAO
wilbur really formed alot of my interests/personality this music helped me alot and its horrible to see who hes become
Please look up more about the situation, wilbur might’ve done wrong things but Shelby is even worse. She’s accused her past exes of abuse too and it was all proven false.

thank you Mr Soot
i think people need to talk more abt screensaver, that song is so underrated and i think it really needs attention, generally wilburs songs are amazing and i think all his songs deserve the attention the get :)
yesss screensaver is my favorite song by him
Ive been watching this video for the past three years, I started when It was at 500 views. This video and someone elses ycgma video are the only things that pull me through my fathers death. I was listening to ycgma the day i found him. And sometimes, when i watch and close my eyes and listen. I can still hear his voice and laughter and pretend im in my old house with him. He died in 2021. Thank you.
It’s a shame with how everything turned out. I really enjoyed his music and looking back at my dsmp phase.
All love to Shelby.
Shelby has done wrong things too, please look through more evidence before supporting her. ‘Innocent until proven guilty’, sh*lby has not given any proof of bruises/ being bitten until she bled. And shes accused her past exes of abuse too and it was all proven false
Hearing "It's All Futile! It's All Pointless!" after it became a Lovejoy song is like seeing a child grow up
You’re 12. You haven’t seen a child grow up
@@KeeboReebo you see this 🎯? That's the point. You missed it.
IKR??? I LITERALLY JUST SCREAMED WHEN I HEARD IT IN HERE
But I am just disappointed in myself that I didn't hear to the whole thing when I first found it
Now I'm just happy that Wilbur got to make "IAF!IAP!" Something about finally moving on
I really don't get why he didn't like these songs. They just hit so much, I can't explain it. It feels like staying up all night with a loved one and watching the sun slowly rise. Especially White wine in a Wetherspoons, it just sounds like having A sleepover in a house next to a busy street with your friends, having fun and feeling the night pass and watching the sun shine afterwards. Calm with slight chaos.
It's amazing how different experiences we all have but still relate to the same songs.
a bird flew into my window a few hours ago while i was home alone. it happens pretty often and i don’t usually think anything of it, but for some reason i decided to go outside and check on the bird when i found it lying on its side breathing heavily. i started crying, which was weird cos i don’t usually get emotional over things like that. i knew i couldn’t touch it but i wasn’t going to leave until it either got better or died. i sat next to the bird and played this playlist about two times through whilst crying until the bird finally got up onto its stomach. a few minutes later it flew up into a tree in my backyard.
this playlist can rlly help me cope w anything
I love birds, me.
Can we take a moment to appreciate It's all futile! It's all pointless! Holy shit i found that song on my recommended one day and I've fell in love with it ever since
his voice is so comforting. i could listen to it for days on loop

Lyrics - 00:00 // Maybe I was Boring
he never had cool stories
he doesn't make your heart beat
used to love his mystery
but now he's just exhausting
another day spent just laying in his room
the stench of incense
and some undelivered food
and she thought
what if he thinks i'm the one?
and i'll be forced to rot away with
him and his obsessions
with trivial things
like the amount of fucking love hearts i finish a text message with
and when you hold his hands
it doesn't feel like flying
and when you take his breath away
he might as well be dying
and you're dying to breathe
you're trapped in his cage
and it's shrinking
and she thought
what if he just never leaves?
or he doesn't get the message
and he doesn't hear my pleas?
so she just started screaming
why can't he just bore me to death?
why can't he just bore me to death?
oh, why can't he just bore me to death?
why can't he just bore me to death?
oh, why can't he just bore me to death?
why can't he just bore me to death?
oh, why can't he just bore me to death?
Lyrics - 02:10 // For Memories
we all move on
some faster than others
we all know
we all sacrifice
in a bath late in the evening
building up sorrow
but i can't say that i
wasted my time
'cause i'm built by you
and i can't say that i
am glad it is over
'cause that wouldn't be true
so thank you
oh, thank you
we both remember
that day in the summer
when you were sat on me
and we cried
oh, how we cried
in that moment
we've never been so happy
but i can't say that i
wasted my time
'cause i'm built by you
and i can't say that i
am glad it is over
'cause that wouldn't be true
so thank you
oh, thank you
all i can say is thank you
but i can't say that i
won't miss you
Lyrics - 05:39 // White Wine in a Wetherspoons
one, two, three, four
bouncer greets us at the door
he can tell we've been here before
so he lets us pass
and we climb up fifteen flights of stairs
and find that spot in the corner just over there
it's only six-thirty but we're starting to drink
i'm ordering the usual i think i
need a change of pace
london's bursting at the seams
it's not quite the place i hoped i'd be
it's white wine in a wetherspoons
it's fine dining with cheap perfume
it's country walks down the motorway
how many drugs have you done today?
'cause concrete sculptures and broken glass
it's the lamp posts who guide our paths
because the moon can't get in
and the clouds hang heavy
blocking out his pursuit
and booze hangs limply on our rental suits
'cause we're fires, we're burning bright
breaking bottles and starting fights
but the evening has other plans
run as they pull up with two more vans
it's white wine in a wetherspoons
it's fine dining with cheap perfume
it's country walks down the motorway
how many drugs have you done today?
but i won't fuss
i'll let you pass
no, i won't fuss
i'll let you pass
'cause it's only white wine in a wetherspoons
fine dining with cheap perfume
DLR closed due to worker's strike
god knows how i'll get home tonight
Lyrics - 09:08 // It's All Futile! It's All Pointless!
i lost the passion that comes with living
since i started university
i took a geography course to learn the datelines
and maybe use a sextant
but now i just press facsimilies
and you're exactly who you wanted to be
that's what you said
'cause you wanna watch TV and sleep all day and lay in bed but
you're forgetting that i've got to go to work and eat my food
and pay my rent and reproduce and feed those kids and
maybe use a sextant
i don't miss you
i miss the thought of what we were
this is the part where i shut up and let you infest my brain
wrap your arms around my cortex, dig you in and let you drain
you'll never get rid of me, oh i'm like a fucking disease
i'll make a home in your gut
'cause it's somewhere warm to sleep
what was your thought when you realised
you'll never feel naïve love again
was it pain or was it sickness?
were you proud of who you'd been?
the shyness waiting for his phone calls
replaced by apathy 'n' dating apps
you held his hands, it felt like flying
now he's just another man
you'd rather he was inside than beside you
but he's talking marriage and a future
he's picking a lock he doesn't go into
less knife in a wound, he's a suture
i don't miss you
i miss the thought of what we were
this is the part where i shut up and let you infest my brain
but it's ok, it's a strategy to ensure i remain
you will never get rid of me, i'm like a fucking disease
i'll make a home in your gut
'cause it's somewhere warm to sleep
it's ok
it's ok
eat my rent and eat my food
and eat my dues and eat those kids
and maybe use a sextant

i just realized wilburs music helps me calm down i was just crying because i was scared to do a presentation tomorrow and i was also scared to talk to my teacher about grades and i looked up wilbur soot music and this popped up thank you for making this video
Same- I’ve been crying because I’m moving for the 4th time in 6 years after I just made friends, and I just have to deal with it because it’s my dads job. Really helps to sit in a bathtub to this
how is it that I've never heard this album before now? it's honestly really good
its all futile! its all pointless! creates such memorable lines
Something really relatable about Wilburs music. Thanks for uploading
:)
I just found this album and like wow it’s so amazing
for memories makes me think about wilbur and tallulah just the melody that hit me hard :(
I forgot about this EP. I was in a terrible place mentally when I didcovered it and would cry for hours listening to this. Especially after i met this one person and for the first time i felt loved.
I fucked up, because of being terrible at holding a basic conversation and my inability to express my feelings I've been ghosting him for almost two years now. I was planning to say sorry for all the shit ive put him through and to say thank you, because hes the reason i started to actually work on myself. Words "So thank you. All i can say is thank you" appeared in my head out of nowhere.
Thats how i got here once again, thankfully in a much better shape. Im having this bittersweet feeling listening to these songs, but at least i dont relate to them as much.
listening to this after pebble brain really shows how wilbur has evolved as a musician, especially how he changed It's All Futile! It's All Pointless!
i've been listening to this ep basically on loop since mid february 2021. that month, and so far this one as well, have been incredibly difficult for me, mental health wise, relationship with friends and family wise, school wise, and mental health wise. essentially anytime i'm overwhelmed and having a panic attack, or feel shitty i put on the album, just as a little comfort. my absolute favorite song on the album is white wine in weatherspoons. something about it gives me hope for the future, which is something very rare for me right now. this ep means so much to me and holds such a special place in my heart, as it's been one of the few things getting me through this time in my life
I hope your feeling better
Hey, hope life is going better for you now. :)
The first song is fricking incredible. The entire ep is actually. Deserves so much more attention, it’s actually insane.
From a time before he went fucking insane.
But at this point we might never go how messed up he truly was.
I just realized, willbur makes reverse love songs
...... YOOOOOOOOOO !
I got a guitar just to play wilburs songs because he inspired me to become a musician and I want to be just like him one day :)
Hows it going? I did the same, but I just slowly stopped practicing
@@Bruhecc it’s been alright I kinda strayed away from my guitar and focused on school but I’m trying to get back to my guitar
Me too, I have a feeling this album will be a lot more successful than my attempt at ycgma!
I already have nostalgia from just like a year and a half ago, in online school not caring about whatever we had to do, listening to this EP on repeat, talking with friends all day, and playing games with them. It sounds so lame, but it was honestly some of the most fun I’ve had.
Same; it's honestly fascinating to see someone put that feeling to words
Absolutely, i remember playing this at 30% volume while playing pirated minecraft bedwars and laughing and screaming and enjoying ourselves. It's long gone now, but i still think about it every once in a while and reminisce. I really haven't been able to feel that sort of pure goddamn happiness in quite a bit but this album makes me wanna tear up. anyways, if anyone's reading this, thanks and sorry it was long lol
for memories is the most heartbreaking thing ever
its the first time hearing wilbur's voice in a whileee
i hate the man
but fuck , the music is such a comfort
honestly i think it's alright to listen so long as it's not officially posted, so it doesn't support him
You shouldn’t say you hate someone for something you don’t know all the details about. He’s human just like all of us, and therefore he makes mistakes too. He also seems pretty troubled. I’m no WSS guy, and I know what he did was terrible, but I think he should be given a second chance. He seems genuinely sorry about the whole incident. Plus, both people seem happy now, so maybe it’s time we all put the drama down.
You can still dislike him and what he did, but maybe hate’s too much.
i dont watch wilbur, i dont really listen to him or lovejoy but this album is different. this is the first music i heard by him, this is what my best friend showed me. 3yrs later we still listen to it at break/lunch thru his wireless earphones. this album connected us and it always will. i love my best friend sm
came her for some comfort cause i don't wanna cry and im feeling lost. wilbur music as always been a huge for comfort place for me, i wish i could thank him
I heard some of these and liked it long ago and idk when or where
time just kinda passed, I got into MCYT and almost forgot these though I've always felt Wilbur's voice was bit familiar
today I just found this
idk what to say its just old memories from my 'original' life out of MCYT flooding back
Since a lot of people seem confused about what is going on the album art, on the Bandcamp page for the album it says "the album art is me on the floor"
Bandcamp page: wilbursoot.bandcamp.com/album/maybe-i-was-boring
u should pin this
i can't cause the other one is pinned
whath
Still the same comfort
"I lost the passion that comes with living when I started university."
Strong vibes!! 9:20
everything about this album makes me happy
something about this title, something about the prospect of someone looking back at a life or a relationship and seeing it wasted bc they weren't good enough, breaks my heart a little.
the fact that i remember the first night i listened to this ep/album and not what i ate for breakfast yesterday i think just shows how much of an impact its had on my life
even though Wilbur doesnt like his past songs because he regretted it and doesn't feel the same as his past self anymore, this album is literally free-therapy and I will keep listening to it
I came back here after i saw an edit audio on tiktok with both versions of ITS ALL FUTILE ITS ALL POINTLESS and i wanted to see the original song. I just realize in how much pain was wilbur in 2019-2020
around february last year, when this video had around 200k views- i was struggling a whole lot with school and had to send all the 50+ missing assigments i hadn't done before march.
I spent the entire month doing each assignment one by one, all while having this video on loop, since i had just discovered it and man- this helped me go through it so much more :')
so ty for uploading this, if it wasn't for you, i would've probably gone insane with trying to complete all those assignments lmao
and as to the present, I'm currently doing p good at school, scoring A+ and such B)
Wilbur took the last song and remade it to fit Lovejoy! I just knew I recognized the lyric "and maybe use a sextant" when listening to the new EP. It's makes me so amazed that Wilbur took older content, that he doesn't necessarily like, and revamped it- he's one of the most talented people I've ever stumbled upon here. Massive amounts of lovehearts to that man
Today has been really rainy and I've listened to this on repeat all day. I've decided that Wilbur Soot is incapable of making a bad song.
I near about screamed when I realized "It's all futile! it's all pointless!" is on the new Lovejoy ep, god it hits so different now ;v;
9:08 my favorite song, it just reminds me of my bestfriend, she was pretty toxic, the "I don't miss you, I miss the thought of what we were" part was just too acurate because I couldn't take it anymore, I felt replaced, I was sad, she didn't care or comfort, Instead she just made it worse, I didn't tell her anything of how I felt when I was with her, so I finally did it, I told her everything, then made my goodbye message, blocked her
For memories makes me cry, the sound of iit sounds so sad and beautiful. :(
im very happy that 'It's all fuitle! Its all pointless!' made it onto lovejoys new album, it sounds amazing, i will always appreciate the original version of it
