God this whole situation hurts so much, I hope everyone involved gets the help they need. I wish none of this ever happened. I hate it when some of the most comforting people turn out to be horrible.
Tuesday 7th May 23.49 Here i am, a couple of weeks before GCSE shit that i need to worry about and i probably should have revised today, well i should probably stop looking at my phone and get some rest, i have stuff to do tomorrow. Even after all this drama YCGMA is definitely worth staying awake for, with rain aswell? 1000%. good luck for the future. -A slightly depressed teenager
3/15/24. All support goes out to Shelby, i love her and hope she gets all the support she deserves. But I used to fall asleep to this. His music and and voice would calm me through anything. Now i blocked his music and everything everywhere. I am terrified of thunder and lightning and to calm me down his music would play and i could sleep peacefully. Now i cant listen to his music or hear his voice without crying. I dont understand why he did what he did, what made him think it was okay. I just dont know what to do now. I hope he rots in hell.
1.3.2024 3:01 am I don't want to make this about myself, all the love snd support goes to Shelby. but it honestly hurts so much so fucking much, I loved him he saved me in 2020 and he continued saving me anytime I'd have an awful day his music just calms me down and let's me sleep, now k can't listen without crying. why did he do it? throw it all away? did we mean anything to him or was it just for fame and money? fck you Wilbur Soot.
I’m the exact same. Wilbur helped me through a lot, he was one of my comfort streamers, and a huge inspiration in music. It makes me so fcking sad to hear this news, because I’m disappointed. I used to listen to this video whenever I couldn’t sleep. It’s now almost four am where I am, the video popped up on my fyp, and I don’t know what to do with my life anymore.
(THE FIRST HALF OF THIS WAS MADE BEFORE WILBUR WAS FOUND TO BE AN ABUSER. SUPPORT SHELBY) made a pov thing because YCGMA is my comfort music: You arrive home to the student housing. Your small flat is home to you. But you’re lonely. You wish you had a roommate. You walk up to the small kitchen area and prepare yourself some instant noodles. The rain is battering the windows and you’re just so tired. It’s 2300 and you just want to eat and go to bed. But after you eat you find that you can’t sleep. Some time after midnight, you give up trying to sleep. You decide to get comfy on your bed and maybe watch some Netflix. The rain is still battering the windows, which is somewhat relaxing. You’re about to turn on the TV when through the wall in the next flat over you here that neighbour of yours, Wilbur, on his guitar. The music is relaxing. You sleep well. The next morning is a Saturday, since you know neither of you will have classes you wake up at 1400 and get dressed. You walk out your door, still a bit tired, and up to his door. You raise your hand ready to knock. The door opens… “Hello” Wilbur says. You stare in shock. then you look down at your thigh, you feel a sharp pain, wilbur just bit your leg off.
YCGMA will forever be my favorite comfort album. Sure, Cavetown’s Deer/Dear is a big comfort album for me as well, but YCGMA takes the cake. Wilbur’s music, streams, vods, just his whole career is amazing. He brings just that feeling of comfort to a moment, and this album I feel has completely encapsulated that feeling. Thank you so much for making nights more bearable and comforting, I love this playlist.
11:38 PM, November 9th, 2023 I’ve been here before, it’s been about two years since I’ve seen this video but nonetheless on this one particular day I have returned. I have started high school within that time, lost my home, lost my stepmother, switched schools, made completely new friends, and I feel like I have gone through so much. How funny is it after all that it’s the simplest joys on one anxious, sleepless night that leads me back here after so long? Back to the happiness and snugness of a warm bed and soft strums from a comforting character that once brought me so much joy. That the fear of the dark and paranoia of the closet doors are still the things that have stayed the same? I have not truly changed now have I? That’s all I have, isn’t it? - Cin
I remember a few years ago when I found this and listened to it while reading DSMP fanfics way back. I wasn't doing well, like most people in 2020-2021, but Jubliee Line and Saline Solution were the songs that just comforted me back then. I've been doing a lot better since, but I recently started listening to this album again, since a different comfort song kinda got ruined with bad memories. I look back on these songs and they fill with me nostalgia from those days. I miss the DSMP days and Technoblade.
im tired, not like tired to commit suicide, but tired like i want to lay on my bed or on the floor and just waiting for desappear. I just want to stop demand me doing my obligations when im so tired, my brain is tired, my brain just want to rest, i want to rest but i can't, and i don't want to tell someone about this, i think maybe they can't understand or maybe they don't need to listen some stupid problems. when i was younger for all the stress and problems i had i tought that maybe i will not be alive before i turn 18, now im about to turn 19 y/o and it feel so so weird, it feels weird to living a life that I thought it wouldn't never arrived, just living and being alive is too much sometimes for me, because i never know how to enjoy my life, just hospitals. homework, exams, more hospitals, more exams, good grades, math lesson out of the school, bullying; one day when i was 9 i have a freaking burn out, i didn't want to study anymore i just scream my guts out to my parents, i was just a kid adn i wanted to be one but i couldn't and i can't anymore. Sometimes i just want too scream so hard until i don't have voice, scream and cursed the whole world for everything, cursed myself, cursed my parents, cursed the people who hurt me but i can't, i can't do that, all i can do is sit my room chocking on my own feelings and emotions until i fall asleep
It's 3:30am, on September 7th 2023. Ive loved wilbur since 2020, loved his music and his band Lovejoy since, well forever. i can't sleep but hopefully that'll pass soon. please, if anyone in struggle sees this; don't be nervous to ask for help. it will only bring you good into a dark place, i promise. 💚
These comments are so sad:( I started listening to ycgma during a tough time too and I’m glad to see other people have because of the same, but it’s also sad knowing people have gone through the same or worse than me. I hope all of you find fully happiness if you see this<3
im a minor in middle school. im american. i come from a pretty broke family. ngl life kinda sucks. but will has really helped me get through this. im losing friends and i dont know why. i try to change for others but i hate myself. i change for myself and everyone else hates me.
Hi. You don't know me, I don't know you (if anyone is even reading this) and that's okay. We are both here for comfort and good music. Maybe you're in a similar place as I am, dreadfully living through life, sometimes content, other times wishing for death to be struck onto us at that moment. Maybe you are doing alright, living nicely, plainly perhaps, but you are pretty happy. But I assume that we are both here now because we need comfort. The truth is that everyone needs some comfort sometimes. Everyone has bad days. And while yes, my bad day has turned into my bad year(s), that's life. Unpredictable, constantly changing in the littlest and yet most significant ways. But, just this video and album existing, unchanging and never losing its charm from when it first came out, it does feel nice. And I don't know if you get the same impact as I do from these songs and this video, but either way, everyone here has an interconnected and mutual feeling deep down of comfort, and hurt, such an indescribable feeling that one can only experience when interacting with something they feel so passionately about. Still, this album helps us all differently. Either way, it is helping us in some way, which I feel is enough. And you don't know me, and I don't know you. And that's okay.
"The cute bomber jacket you've had since sixth form Adorned with patches of places you've been Is nothing on my khaki coat I got From a roadside when I was sixteen My boots are from airports My backpack's from friends I'm not a man of substance, and so I'll pretend To be a wanderer, wondering Leaving ascetic belongings in hostels and restaurant bins." This song in particular has stuck with me most through the past few years. No matter how far I drift from this silly little phase and these silly little internet content creators, this song. This whole album. Will always feel like an incredibly warm hug from a friend you haven't seen in several years. It reminds me of specific, wonderful feelings. And I fall back in love with the chord progression and lyrical anomolies every single time I listen to it. I've also felt such ways- similar ways- to "La jolla." And "im sorry boris" as well as "white wine in a whetherspoons" from the 13 minute album. All of his music, but these songs specifically, give me this otherworldly sense of warmness that I can't quite describe. This album is the embodiment of cold, dim-lit train stations and cafes. This album makes me yearn for a time and a feeling I'm not quite sure ever existed. I know, it's a lot to say. About some songs. But I do truly feel as though it's an entirely unique, wonderful, trying experience. This album. This album will forever and always be my home. Be what I coincide with. And I forever yearn to live in this moment.
I have now listed to this album for about 3 years now and my love for all the songs have changed so much. At the beginning of listening to this album i didn’t really understand the lyrics i just loved how it sounded, but now since i listen to it during anxiety attacks i have really have gotten to focus on what they are saying and what the songs mean. Personally i am in love with the song la Jolla. I feel like not many people talk about this song and the beauty within the song. What this song means to me is when i am sitting in my room ( or really anywhere ) feeling mentally drained listening to this song helps me realize that i will move on and things will get better soon i will find my own la Jolla and i will be drinking cocktails out over the water, and ill be giving each day its own diploma. Every time that part of the song comes on it just makes me smile because it always gives me that hope. This album in a whole has helped me in so many situations truly though and i can not thank you enough for it. When ever i am having a hard time i will always come here and read through the comments and it has truly helped me so thank you!
I can't sleep so here I am listening this album an album I found under the pandemic a time that felt un real and a time I lost a part of me that part that always had a smile on its face the part that was happy and excited to go to school and learn I miss that part of me a lot and I hope to find it again someday but for now this album got my back and brings me comfort and maybe I can sleep soon good night
I fell asleep to this and i looped it so many times to the point where it un-looped just to make me losten to something else. Also these songs give me a shiver down my spine leaveing me cold and alone to listen as i lay on the floor.
Something about this makes me feel comforted and terrified. YCGMA is such an amazing album, I have no idea how to accomplish such immaculate vibes from my own songwriting..
