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)

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 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"

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

READ MY NAME!!!!!!! !!!!!

absolutely agree

it's vague enough to apply plenty of meanings to it

It feels like the sudden smell of freshly cut grass.

Damn that sounds deep

I was hoping he would say “NOW” somewhere

@@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

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

*ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BrH9f-IWwlo.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!

@Flower is eaten by wasp holy carp the bots

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.​@@macaronandcheese1811

Same here. He is a total genius. Like.. way too overboard in a manner that hits your deepest fears/ambitions. It's really hard to describe, but i agree

@@nothing5693 uh oh the war is still going on, Russia is pulling back away from Kyiv and have still not taken Mariupol despite the city being under siege for a month now

thats how i always saw him!

Bill Wurtz has this way of making songs that can both be profound and comedic at the same time. It’s all about how you see them. It’s really magical.

@@rinyafii god this is so accurate

That's "dadaism" for ya

That's it!

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.

“ooh! the memory is drifting back in ways that i'll pretend to know and understand i'll pretend to know exactly how the story will end” i travel the- walk over the- into the- back to the- There’s something that’s really profound, and quite frankly, beautiful about the ending to this song.

And he also described cathartically revisiting past trauma.

@@ownfall3215 A reference to an 80s movie

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.

@@jaabb4553 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.

@@gingahbeef2604 As a metalhead as well I couldn’t have said it better myself. Bill is very special in my heart.

why did you comment twice on a video?

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 RU-vidr, so most of the spam bots are taken down and the likes are given to true comments instead of the ones made for likes.

He must have found a new reservoir of inspiration. With music somewhere in between hopeful and meaningless, it's a friendly reminder of what it means to be alive.

@@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

nostalgia in 1 sentence

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
