and the day goes on 

what i love about bill wurtz's lyrics is that they're meaningless and intensely meaningful at the same time

“When life gives you lemons, figure out how to make orange juice, and confuse the hell out of everyone around you.” - bill wurtz probably

I like to think bill wurtz is just an alien who heard some funky music and has a vague understanding of human words.

Bill Wurtz was never ahead of his time. Bill Wurtz is timeless.

"I woke up in the morning traveling straight into the sun" This is either the best or absolute worst way to start a day, depending on whether or not that's a metaphor.

*Reasons Why Bill Wurtz Can't Go Home* 1.) It's not fun there 2.) He's not welcome there 3.) He's come too far 4.) The day goes on

This song is actually quite profound after I started actually paying attention. I hear a song about a person who's life is not going how they want, and after some introspection, they just...change it on a whim. No matter who we are or what we decide to do, the day goes on.

"Stay Strong, and the day goes on" A random person on the internet 2 years ago cares about my mental health more than my friends *Edit* : For all you guys in the replys, i did switch schools and got way better friends that are actually good people who care about me

I'm sorry depression, but bill wurtz has _specifically_ told me to stay strong

what i like about this channel is that you cannot expect what will be said in the next line

This song seems like a child’s imagination about how they would be as an adult

I like how people think there’s a deeper meaning And then bill says this: Salmon count

listening to bill is like listening to someone who's sad inside but still trying to cheer you up

fuck yeah

I hate the fact this is one of the only songs I've ever cried to. You win this one Bill.

I commented last September and I really took this song to heart. I kept moving forward and managed to pull myself out of homelessness and alcoholism. I moved from where I had lived for all 23 years of my life, I discovered I like cooking and now I'm on my way to becoming a chef. I'm not joking... When I previously commented on this video I actually took it to heart. I was debating whether to rip up the script of my life and this song reassured me it was the right thing to do. This song helped me in my darkest hour. I didn't expect to get emotional writing this but I don't know if another piece of music will impact me as much as this song has. Thank you Bill Wurtz. I'll always hold this song right next to my heart

That “stay strong and the day goes on” at the ending It transcends everything

i asked for a meme song, not a voice of gold.

I always break down at the “stay strong” part. It feels extremely honest coming from Bill.

Depression be like "Understandable, have a nice day"

I hate it when you wake up and you fly straight into the sun it’s really annoying

Yes, bill, yes it does.

1:59 is no one gonna talk about that beautiful chords? So harmonious😭

"Looked back in the mirror Thought about who I had become And I don't think that anything's gone wrong." And my life goes on goes on hold on stay strong It'll go along.

"Woke up in the morning travelling straight into the sun" that escalated quickly

0:03 "Don't do that!" "Why?" *"T H E S U N I S A D E A D L Y L A Z E R-"*

I really think it takes a special sort of talent to use the same few instruments in every song and similar chords, but still have hundreds upon hundreds of unique songs with their own feeling. Bill Wurtz is a god, truly.

The "stay strong" at the end is something i really needed just now

true art.

My eyes hurt just imagining the ungodly amount of time it must’ve taken to edit this

woke up in the morning traveling straight into the sun told my friends and family i was gone looked back in the mirror thought about who i had become and, i don't think that anything's gone wrong jumped out of my suitcase and went traveling down the road went back to the place where i was born thinking about my future thinkin bout how far we have come oh, i don't think i'm gonna be going home cho: and the day goes on, goes on, goes on, goes on and the day goes on and the day goes on, goes on, goes on hold on and the day goes on went down to virginia thinkin bout how to change my name just in case i have to fly away jumped onto a space ship and i went to outer space and, now i think i'm gonna be ok cho: and the day goes on, goes on, goes on, goes on and the day goes on and the day goes on, goes on, hold on whenst the day goes (on) and i'm long gone and i'm long gone and i'm right where i belong i went to the future thinkin bout how to spend my day thinking about the things i can't explain it's 1900 and the times are going to change oh, now i think we're gonna be ok cho: and the day goes on, goes on, goes on, goes on and it goes along and the day goes on, (so) hold on, hold on, stay strong and the day goes on

This is my comfort song - had an anxiety attack for the first time in awhile today. This helped me calm down. Thanks bill!

that salmon count tho

Does anyone find this song oddly comforting on these crazy times

I feel like this song is about how humans are constantly positive about the future. I just have a hunch

Bill wurtz is helping me through the Covid-19 Please come back Bill wurtz

_God has joined the server._

"What genre of music do you like?" "Bill Wurtz"

1:48 fun fact, that's the first video ever taken by Louis Le Prince, who invented video cameras

Every time it starts to make sense, it spirals off into nonsense again. It’s absolutely brilliant!

im so happy that i can be alive to experience your content

The sun is a hotspot for tourism

I'm in a bad situation rn because my girlfriend is mad and I'm scared our relationship will end and this song has given me the power to move on and not fall into deepresion so I am thanking Bill wurz (or something like that) for making this beautiful song Edit: she wasn't mad and we are in a happy relationship again

best line: "Woke up in the mornin, traveled strait into the sun"

love

Despite them being nonsensical, they always seem to calm my anxiety

1:03-1:06 " And I think I'm gonna be OK, in the video he put volcanoes indicating that he is not okay with the amount of natural disasters going on in the world and if he goes to outer space he will not be scared and he'll be OK.

he used the first video ever recorded for literally no reason i love it

Good timing, Bill. Thank you.

And this is the guy who told the whole world's history in 19 minutes.

I believe this song is a metaphor for intrusive thoughts. There’s constant talk of escaping in some way. “And now I think I’m gonna be OK” but it never is. “The day goes on” the thoughts aren’t real, they rarely change who you are or how you act. But they’re still there. “Thinking about the things I can’t explain” these thoughts are rarely logical. Hell, they’re never logical. You can’t explain them. But they’re still there. “Hold on and the day goes on” they’re just thoughts. You know that. But they stick, like they’re holding on. And yet, the day still goes on. They’re just illogical thoughts, that mean nothing. They aren’t real.

As with every bill wurtz song, the first listen is an overstimulating fever dream, the next ten listens acclimate you to this new universe of meaning, and from there, every additional listen adds new depth to your interpretation of the lyrics, so that by the time you get to about 75 or 100 listens, you've internalized a profound and uniquely personal truth about what it means to be human that's difficult to articulate to yourself and impossible to convey to someone else in any meaningful way.

i feel like bill is capable of curing the world's depression

Guy: Im depressed. Bill Wurtz: Then stop. Guy: Yeah ok. Guy was me.

person in this story: accused criminal that is very motivated

i think bill’s songs are just a pre-made beat and tune and him just going off about something

This is actually a very genuinely heartwarming song. I really enjoyed it.

This song gives me hope for some reason

This song has no bad parts

This gives me comfort idc

We could make a religion out of this.

Fun fact, the video at 1:49 was the first video ever filmed

This is unironically my favourite song

0:01 when you wake up and open your phone but it’s on full brightness

_"Woke up in the morning travelling straight into the sun"_ My exact thoughts when my alarm goes off at 5 A.M

There's a lot of escaping in this song. Changing his name, flying away (from the cops), going to outer space, mountain escape plan, use a bike to escape the grid... Bill, what the heck are you running from??

Stay strong and the day goes on -bill

Im going to send this to my parents once i leave for collage

this video is actually one of the reasons I was able to cope so well with a moment that crashed my life downhill, I'd lost my best friend and partner on the same day and we'd been together for 16 months and my friend for over 10 years, this song made me realise life goes on after when you think it ended for you. This 2020, I'll be looking to where my future, and how far I have come. Thank you Bill. EDIT: Haha funny coronavirus joke ruins everyones lives, it doesn't. Just have a good mindset, use the time to change and become better. I'm exercising again because I just can.

*Legend has it that the day is still going on...*

Hey Bill, coming back to this video again for the nth time and I just wanted to write what it means to me. It sounds stupid but, around the time of the release of this song - I was going through what I'd still consider to be the rock bottom of my life so far and this song was one of the pieces I had put together to help me get through that. The crazy art style, simple yet abstract lyric assembly and amazingly composed music has kept me coming back years later. Thank you for making this song, I hope you find this message and I hope you're doing well. Much love from the UK!

0:49 there are 6 salmon before he is overwhelmed. 7 salmon is too many, apparently

If you said this was an actual anti depression PSA I wouldn't be surprised

Oh good, another fanatic video. Now I have to watch the history of the entire world again, I guess

Bull Wurtz is the ultimate internet folk musician.

Woke up in the morning, traveling straight into the sun *NO* why? *_THE SUN IS A DEADLY LAZER_*

Bill admits to being a time traveler in this song

I want to live like this

“Looked back in the mirror, thought about who I had become” That was super inspiring

Please come back we miss you.

We 👏 want 👏 an 👏 album 👏

use a bike to escape the grid

ok so my favorite song was 987 before i discovered this... bill, you have helped me with all of your songs with the inspirational lyrics. can't wait for the next!

Oh crap, i just woke up at 4 am to listen to this on loop and it's now 7 am

LOOK AT THAT SALMON COUNT!

Yo, I DO NOT understand why I think "Salmon Count: Oh, I'm Overwhelmed!" is so funny, but I do

It’s really been 5 years

“Woke up in the morning traveling straight into the sun” well, that escalated quickly

Bill Wur: living legend, time traveler, meme king, inspirational icon.

bill wurtz logic : 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = *1* 2 + 2= *A BILLION*

I'm going to eventually find out that all these videos are connected. Maybe the same universe, or maybe every character is the person who's not called Steve, who's car is in a tree and lives near the mountains and is commiting tax evasion

"it's the 1900s and the times are going to change, oh and now I think we're gonna be ok" the most ironic statement bill wurtz has ever made

This is a perfect 90's interpretation of 2018 using animation tools from 2001.

**you could make a religion out of this** Oh wait nevermind. A bunch of people already made this joke.

this is the type of songs that english teachers test you on

He has returned so I felt it appropriate to listen to this one. Everything will be ok.

God has returned.

Our savior has came back

This is unironically one of my favourite songs

Fun fact: The "bill wurtz - topic" version of this song is marked for kids. edit: thanks for 50 likes
