Wilbur Soot - Maybe I was Boring (Full EP) 

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.

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 can't find this anywhere else, i don't hear anyone talking about this... wow...

- Mom, I want Saline Solution! - Honey, we have Saline Solution at home Saline solution at home: 5:40

this is the deepest one can go in wilbur soot lore

listening to this for the first time breaks my heart in the exact same way listening to your city have me asthma for the first time did

The rhythm change at the first "why can't he just boooore me to death" makes my ears happy

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.

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!

Im so jealous of his songwriting skills. Ugh Wilbur, pass some over dude.

im sad that he hates the music that helps all of us cope

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

I swear, whenever I think I've heard all of this man's music there's another album I missed

this is my fav album, i wish more people talked about 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. :)

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

Ah yes, the prequel to Your City Gave Me Asthma

this is like the softer, younger and depressingly weaker verion of your city gave me asthma

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!

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 :)

"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

"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

did wilbur purposely make it so when you play the album through, exactly 6 minutes and 30 seconds in he says “6:30” cause if so THATS SO COOL

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.

I am so glad I found this album after I found Your City Gave Me Asthma :]

hes such a good songwriter like wow

Hearing "It's All Futile! It's All Pointless!" after it became a Lovejoy song is like seeing a child grow up

“it’s all futile ! it’s all pointless !” is such a comfort song for me. i wish this album was on spotify

Maybe I was Biting all jokes aside this is an incredible EP and it truly is a shame that the person who made it is such a monster

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.

Hes literally my favorite musician ever, im sad he didnt release this album because its literally amazing and i love it so much

Ycgma: makes me cry, thinking about how I'm shuting everyone out of my life Maybe I was boring: vibin

The way he says 1, 2, 3, 4 at 5:40 Kills Me Every Time

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.

i can't believe people still comment such nice things on this. makes me super happy :)

It's fun to see people just now discover this album.

this ep is still incredible

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 :'))))

wait how have i never heard abt this before

can i just say, at 11:45, the chord progression- its just so satisfying i cant

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

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.

Hello everyone, maybe i was boring is not an album, it’s just cuts from his album “your city gave me asthma”

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

I still love these songs. I support shubble but it’s really hard to put this part of my life behind me

for memories sounds so familiar to me and i dont know why..

its all futile! its all pointless! creates such memorable lines

I just realized, willbur makes reverse love songs

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

honestly i love the lovejoy version of 'its all futile! its all pointless!' but this one has a special touch. the raw simplicity is lowkey beautiful

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!

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

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.

Maybe I was boring is legit in my top 5 non comedy Wilbur songs

how is it that I've never heard this album before now? it's honestly really good

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

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.

I just found this album and like wow it’s so amazing

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

From a time before he went fucking insane. But at this point we might never go how messed up he truly was.

LMAO WHEN ITS ALL FUTILE ITS ALL POINTLESS STARTED PLAYING IN THE NEW EP, MY DUMBASS WAS WONDERING HOW I KNEW ALL THE WORDS HELP

"its only 6.30 but we're starting to drink" *my mam, drinking at 11am:* *nervous sweating*

sat here the whole time trying to figure out whats going on in that photo

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 RU-vid 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).

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 :)

his voice is so comforting. i could listen to it for days on loop

Had to find a way to listen to this without giving him money :(

"I lost the passion that comes with living when I started university." Strong vibes!! 9:20

Something really relatable about Wilburs music. Thanks for uploading

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.

Songs in order: Maybe I was boring For memories White wine in a Wetherspoons Its all futile! Its all pointless!

everything about this album makes me happy

The tune behind for memories sounds like “you’re beautiful but you’re not quite her”, the tune that Wilbur told us about on his last qsmp stream.

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;

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.

maybe i was boing album my beloved 🙏🙏

For memories makes me cry, the sound of iit sounds so sad and beautiful. :(

The first song is fricking incredible. The entire ep is actually. Deserves so much more attention, it’s actually insane.

gonna be honest,, this ep was the hardest to get rid of for me, especially since the recent events that happened i resonated with this ep a lot,, but listening to the lyrics once more im so surprised i havent caught on any sooner anyway support piracy, i hope this boy gets jailed soon as well as the others who've been outed these past 3-4 weeks happy womens history month, and support victims, especially shelby in his case

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

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

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

Why is for memories the most underrated song here, I love it

White Wine is so amazing. This can be taken in many different ways.

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.

this album is not underrated it’s under appreciated.

When I was listening to lovejoy's new ep I knew I recognized one of the songs! Thats so cool!

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

For Memories is so beautiful:(

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

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

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

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

HIS VOICE IS SO PRETTY IM CRYING

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.

No one: Really no one: Not even Tomathy: Me under my shower: I DONT MISS YYYOOOUUU

Here after it’s all futile! Snuck into pebblebrain. I was really confused as to why I knew the lyrics to a song the first time I heard it. Hopefully the rest of this ep will eventually get the full band treatment.

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
