I did like 2 mins of research, he released the album in june and this stream was in may, a whole month before he released the album so it’s entirely possible he was still going through the breakup during this.
no ones gonna talk about some of these lyrics? the way his voice keeps breaking? the last line breaks my heart completely and really makes me worry about him ://
Bro, this hit me different, something about this song just, I don’t know, and most of his songs are like, “jokes” like “Karen took the kids” “I’m in love with a e-girl” “internet ruined me”, but this song was different.. Edit; this is when i first joined the fandom, i was wrong, he’s music is all so sad. :/
@@ooo629ooo yeah, I think he said in an interview or sth that he moved to London for someone he was dating, they broke up, and Wilbur was left stuck in the city alone for a year or two after, until he moved away to Brighton
I know, it literally HURTS me to see him like this, I just want him to be happy all the time, and he seems so sad and depressed here, ngl I cry every time I watch this.
for a lot of people that don't know Wilbur is ok well... he's been having issues with his mental health but the issues that he had a broke up with his ex-girlfriend is not a problem anymore. Yes this is sad cause it is sad and the song is like 3 years ago. so he's fine about this issue but not his mental health. Dw tho, he's gonna get a therapist on his recent stream so he can deal with his mental health. TLDR : He's fine he's not as sad as he like 3 years ago when he made this song but he's still have issues with his mental health and he said he will get in contact with a therapist and he will be ok.
There’s something called ‘smiling depression’ his voice kept breaking (meaning it was genuine and he was almost crying) I’m nit diagnosing him but he is currently going to therapy over his break up :)
it’s just how his singing voice is, he has said before that the songs were written like two or three years ago and that now they mean nothing for him, he also said that he doesn’t like them
often people can force their voice to sound extra sad or have voice cracks to add more emotion to the song but that’s honestly how you know ho it’s a good song :)
I would love to write paragraphs about how much I adore this but ohhh my god the way someone tried to join his vc and IMMEDIATELY fucking dipped like "okay this is a very bad time" just GETS ME LMAO
This hits a different spot, Wilbur is my favorite musical artist and to hear his voice in such pain sorta hurts me, the most optimistic and lovable bubbly boy being sad I can't really imagine
it's simply amazing to see how much happier he got over the years. the early versions of ycgma to now releasing the third EP with his own band and going on tour in the us
I loved his music, I listened to it every single day. Yswr, the song about how horrible of a person Wilbur is, was ironically my favorite out of all of them. I never thought he out of everyone would do this. Just shows you can't trust people on the internet.
Hey! I'd encourage staying neutral at the moment. I know the news has been jarring, but new evidence is coming to light every day. It seems the situation isn't so black and white anymore. I'm not defending either side, but I'm not blindly agreeing with either, either.
I thought I couldn't love anymore Turns out I can't Not for the same reasons as before I use everyone I ever meet I can't find the perfect match Abused as I learned While I ostracized the ones who loved me back [Verse 2] On the path of least resistance I find myself salting the earth Every time that I miss you I feel the way you hurt And I don't deserve you You deserve the world Though it feels like we were built from the same dirt [Chorus] Ah-ah-ah Oh, I hate to say it but your sister was right Don't trust English boys with far too much free time I hate to say it but your sister was right I'm nothing but a problem, leave you crying overnight And I hate to say it but your sister was right I can't focus on the future, only my short sight I hate to say it but your sister was right I'm a wanker, complete wanker A fucking waste of time
Your City Gave Me Asthma is probably one of my favourite albums, it’s helped me get through a lot of tough stuff and it’s been a way to get my feelings out without hurting anyone else around me.
Watching this in 2021 nearing 2022 quickly…I couldn’t be prouder of him now. I know that the album YCGMA was written about a girl and his depression with the suicide rates in London going up. I look up to this man so much, as somebody who has had a horrible experience with depression and anxiety. And I am proud to say that I have gotten better. Wilbur has really come a long way, and I couldn’t be more proud of him
This song is so different to a lot of his other songs. His other songs are more to make people laugh, but this is a real, sad song. It's beautiful and deep and sad and it's even more gut-wrenching and heartbreaking live.
That's his parody music, but he also does pretty serious music. He has an album called Your City Gave Me Asthma, where this song is included. There's also Lovejoy, his band. They have two EPs out: Are You Alright? and Pebble Brain. He's a really talented musician, his music is pretty great.
I think my brother got onto my account and left this comment :o I knew of his other eps and Lovejoy, I love all of them my family is just uneducated 😔😔😔
It's so sad to listen to this album, knowing that it was written when he had an unstable mental state. and now, at the moment, the cover of this album is on his banner in Spotify, instead of MSR. :(
We're talking about how he's better now and similar stuff, but ya'll hear the voice breaks? Yeah, either he's reliving those emotions or he still relates
im listening this on repeat this makes me cry his voice is so pure and these lyrics are so deep and I feel them edit: the way his voice breaks sometimes especially at 00:58
this is the very guy who made me fall in love with this song. When i heard his voice break i swear he was feeling the right vibe of the song.. i hope he is okay now
Wow like really this is my favorite wilbur song and this made it 100 times more meaningful the way his voice shakes or cracks on certain lines im in tears he barely even looks at the camera 😢 😭
OMG I SWEAR ADDING ONE WORD TO THE LAST LINE CHANGES IT SO MUCH before: "a ****ing waste of time" here: "a ****ing waste of *your* time" also this is a really relatable for me
i could always feel the emotion when wilbur used to sing ycgma and his older songs in general. Sometimes the emotion comes from me, but when it doesn't it's from wilbur
this may sound sad to some but i honestly feel like i’m in a fantasy right now. i’m listening to this at three am in my bed in total darkness. the thunderstorm is so loud outside and i can hear rain tapping on my windows. this is so perfect EDIT WHAT THE HELL I DIDNT KNOW LIGHTNING COULD BE SO BRIGHT IM GOOD WITH THUNDER BUT WHAT IS THIS FUUUUUU
this song really hits me because of my ex, he always would say he didn't deserve me and he didn't. he was a narcissist who gaslighted and manipulated me for almost a whole year. but this song conveys the pain i felt because even after i could see what he had done to me i still loved him. it was hard to move on but i eventually did, this song is amazing and i really hope wilbur or anyone else who is also going through a hard time is doing alright! you deserve the best and i promise things get better :) you're strong.
