I have a new song out called "Nights Like These" You can listen to it here on your favorite music service. ingroov.es/nights-like-these Please be sure to add it to your playlists. Thank you for your support. It means everything!
you are one of my favorite people in the world, please, just please keep going! you can do it, I love your music and I will truly not be the only one who will~ keep doing what you always do, be yourself, and don't let anyone stop you, the people who reached highs got told they wouldn't make it, but never stopped, you will not, too
The reason why you aren’t taking off is because you’re doing everything other people do. Drop the simplistic piano chords and vocal synthesizer for effect. Drop the autotune and sing with your natural voice. Get creative. Don’t rely on technology. You can do this.
“Another year goes by and no one knows my name” *We know your name Will, and we are right behind you. You are somebody to us and we are with you through and through.*
Rebecca Tang exactly what i keep thinking..it literally breaks my heart how he is not getting the amount of recognition he deserves💜🥺💪🏻 but we will keep supporting until he does
I don't remember the last time I heard a song this heartfelt. You deserve the world, Will Jay. I've been following you since your IM5 days. You are somebody.
Alison H me tooo I remember my 3 grade self going to the dollar store, buying poster-board and a bunch of makers , making a poster saying IM5 and I would get sad when my cousins say “wHo iS tHaT”
I really really hope you know that you ARE somebody. Somebody very important to alot of people, myself included. Your music talks about so many topics that other artist would never dream to write about. I love your music, and I love your message. You make me feel less alone in this world. Thank you for being you.
"I've sacrificed more than enough and after everything I've done I'm still not where I wanna be So what more do you want from me" "I should've been somebody *I could've been somebody"* *Wow. . .* _well that hit me hard_
I really felt those lyrics and the message behind the song, it relates so perfectly to what I'm feeling. the feeling of not achieving your goals fast enough and not seeing any progress even though you're trying so hard. But I do believe that our efforts will be rewarded sooner or later we just have to trust in the process. Thank you, Will, for making this song and speaking your truth it is appreciated and your music heals people in ways you will never know.
elayme almujeeb hi elayme just read your reply and I have to say wanting to be a doctor speaks volumes, and of course you will feel overwhelmed at times but the important thing is you keep going you will get there, remember this is your journey. Don’t let anyone stress you out, keep focus and do your thing. Lol sorry for unsolicited advice but I’m just really passionate about these kind of things, any who I wish you the best of luck on your journey! 🌸
@@Fkwtuherd Sorry it took me so long to respond. Don't worry I welcome any advice. Thank you, i truly is overwhelming, but I plan to follow through with your advice and keep calm.
I love how honest his songs seem, it's a nice breath of fresh air in a time where songs are usually about very similar topics. Obviously his amazing voice is also just wonderful to listen to.
N Hjl Higf Ilm Same here I can relate to his songs so much especially this one..I feel like this is my mind talking right now..and this makes me feel comforted like only a few artists can..
Everyone have his own road, and we shouldn't compare with people besides us, they have their own roads too. If we still compare with them its like we live in their shadow, feed with their life. We need to know everyone is good at sth and it we should performance that. And this guy its so talented 💖
I don't talk to anyone from high school Cause I dropped out freshman year Signed a record deal then made an album No one's ever gonna hear Now they've all graduated college I've never left this studio Memories of half my life are missing I've still haven't written anything But I'll keep breaking my own heart Finding ways to make it out I'm still not what I wanna be So what more do you want from me I should've been somebody By now I should've been somebody By now Not a damned thing's changed And now the years go by and no one knows my name I should've been somebody Since I was five I never stopped performing Even when my dad got sick Stayed behind my family moved to Houston One more fucking show I just couldn't exist I've sacrificed more than enough And after everything I've done I'm still not where I wanna be So what more do you want from me I should've been somebody By now I should've been somebody By now Not a damned thing's changed And now the years go by and no one knows my name I should've been somebody I could've been somebody
To us you are somebody We know your name We love you for who you are We love your voice We help you every time you upload a new video We show our love with likes and views and comments You've helped us calm down or fight our inner demons You've inspired us and you keep inspiring us every single day On my phone I always delete pictures and songs but out of respect and a lot of time the *need* to listen to your words who have helped me so much I skip your playlist while deleting and I am proud of it....you probably will never see this but you are loved by a lot of people behind phone screens computer screens tv screens even the goddamn microwave or whatever mechanical device all of you use...I am from Greece you know that little blue-white foods seas and philosophy country ....yeah I am from there and even if we are seas away I know your name and so does many other people scattered all around the globe We love you and we will never stop supporting you❤
It's sad for me to say this but it's reality: there are so many kids out there who are living this exact life. Thousands, probably. The entertainment industry eats these talented kids up, steals their childhood, then spits them back out when they've had enough. Reform to the entertainment industry can't come soon enough.
This is self loathing at it's best. Sometimes it takes getting to that point for you to write a song that connects with so many people. I felt this one. Keep it up!
Dude, as someone with chronic pain who’s honestly angrily struggling with my own inability to provide for my self and that I even am angry in the first place, it’s really frustrating. Most of the time, I’m fine, but it’s hard when all you want is to be a content creator, but your stuck in bed half the year with no energy and exhaustion. This is an absolute mood
OK NO THIS IS TOO SAD :( I hope you get recognized soon 😭 This made me think of when Alec Benjamin also hit rock bottom because he was dropped by his label or something , but look at him now ! I hope you get recognized (even more) soon, because they be sleepin on u ❤️
Dear. Will Hello will. I am just a high school student in korea whose been your fan for quiet a while now. I don't know that much about music but when i hear your songs i can tell they are good. And I often hear your music being played in Korean tv shows. Also I notice your song 'Off the Record' was used as the title music for the korean movie 'Money' which was number 1 on screen for weeks and watched by 3,389,038 people, which means all your fans from all over the world plus that much people in Korea listened to your song. So.. I guess my point is I wish this comment makes you realize how talented you are and how much your career has grown over such short time. and that YOU ARE GOING TO BECOME MUCH FAMOUS IN NO TIME! (seriously your so talented) you are somebody whose awesome.
Great job! My favorite one yet. Very proud of you! I can really feel your emotions through the screen. I believe in you and I know that you can go far. You got this!❤️
Hear this song makes my heart crack... I didn't know that Will had been through such hardships. We always support you, Will, and hope you will gain the attention that you deserve.
I’m a 40 yo mom from Brazil and I’m here. Your messages are important, your talent matters, you make more difference in life than you are able to see right now. Thank you!
You don't need to be known by a lot of people to be somebody. You don't have to have people praising your name, or making a lot of money to be whole. In fact, that is the opposite of what makes you, you. This is something our generation has gotten so wrong. Your value isn't tied in being verified on Twitter, or your RU-vid channel being successful, or the amount of Instagram followers you have. You are wonderfully and fearfully made by God. You are made in his image. You are so valuable no matter if you never make it "big".
"I should have been somebody by now." Guess that all the people commenting and liking this video express that your talent is turning you into somebody. And even if no one had noticed you, you already were somebody by the time.
I've listened to this song so many times. It's heartbreaking, you feel this way about yourself, Will. I have been a fan for years. I think you are worth it!! I believe we all are. God made you in His image, for a purpose. He knows the plans He has for you, not to harm you, but to give you a future and a hope. Jesus loves you so very very much. You were BORN to be somebody. He knows it. I know it! You should too
id like to say that the song is so incredibly real and raw and heartfelt, but also the music video. together it shows how we get lost in our worlds, in our heads, we create these thoughts that we are nothing, that we have nothing, and nobody is there for us or wants us. but if we look around we see friends, s/o's, family. together the song and mv is about taking these things for granted. Look around you, you are doing so good, you are so strong, and you have come so far, i love you
You are somebody and will still grow. We may not be millions but we support you and we also keep growing. Your life is way different than some who are the same age as you but that doesn't mean anything's wrong, you're just different and that's okay cuz that's what makes you my idol and trust me I'll always be hereeee for uuu Also, you're just starting, you're still young and know that none of your work and time has gone to waist, everything helps to build your success, just keep working and being you. __ Sorry for my English, I'm Mexican:)
He's so unappreciated, but his lyrics and voice are amazing. I never get tired of his songs. Keep doing what you are passionate about Will, I hope the world will one day hear your name.
Love you Will! From 2013 'til now. Always have, always Will :) btw, you're more than just "somebody" to us, keep that in mind :) you are one of the few artist that actually write GENUINE music; you're a gem!
The video represents how even though he thinks he's a nobody, he is surrounded by loving friends and happiness, yet he can't help but see it as the "background" and take it for granted.
You know it hit hard when there are three tears that have stained your cheeks, and you are frozen in aw. The only thing helping you wright the comment is that you want the creator to know you loved it.💜💜💜
Will you are somebody very important to all of us who listen to your music! And you are in Our hearts ❤️ I hope that you will get recognised and loved by more and more people every Day ❤️ Be happy, be strong, be brave and never forget that you are somebody for all the people who love you 😊
This song helped me in 2019 when I was going through severe depression. Now I'm here in 2022 and in a somewhat better place, but I am grateful for how this song helped me.
Just failed my math final and I’m so worried about how it’s going to affect college and everything ahead of me. “I’m still not where I want to be” And I’m so worried that someday, I won’t ever be “somebody” Thank you for making me feel less like crap. Ik nobody’s gonna read this but it felt good getting this out... even to a bunch of strangers
Alyssa Nguyen , even if no one else saw it, I did! College is hard, and the classes kill me every single semester. You’re gonna be somebody, even if it’s in a place you don’t want to be. Remember that you have it in you to overcome this feeling ❤️!
I relate so much to this song. I have been singing and playing the piano since the age of 5. I am know 15 and still speding all my time practicing as my friends go to parties. I just want you to know that this song realy means someting speciel. Love u!
I’m using this song as an excuse to spill myself out in digital ink to strangers. I’m thinking of not returning to college. The first week of school I thought I was ill cuz a weird floaty feeling in my stomach. Turns out it was happiness. I couldn’t recognize what happiness felt like. As much as I love learning, the school, the staff, and as much as I’m starved to study poetry I fail the classes I love over and over again. I never cared about grades, still don’t. But I can’t stay in school without them. My goal to be a writer and create has been the only thing to keep me from ending my life at points. I was working at a community college from home to get a better GPA so I could return to the school I love. It’s not going great, especially with the virus. I’m quarantined away from home, with friends from school because of family problems. During this time my friends mom heard about my family living situation and why I can’t stand it there and offered a room I could rent. And I’ve been realizing I don’t need a career or education right now to be happy. Intellectual work overwhelms me emotionally and causes so many anxiety attacks that hurt the rest of my life. I could work some manual job or less career oriented jobs like that and be happy, feel complete. I’m realizing now I wanted school because I wanted out of my house and my family. Now that I’m out of there I’m eating better and am no longer under weight, my anxiety attacks have never been so few and far between, no urges to self harm or suicidal ideation which I used to have daily, I get more things done, I have more energy, I keep my space clean and don’t stay sleeping in bed all day and night, I’m just so much happier and well off. But... it’s not school. It’s not a career. They wouldn’t approve. They also wouldn’t let me get out of the family, even if it makes me happy I doubt they would let me leave. I don’t need to be someone big or someone connecting to strangers, as long as I actually connect with the people around me. If I’m happy at home I don’t need a big career. Sure I want to create my art, but I don’t need to be famous. Is that weird? To not need fame and notoriety? Idk. I just want to live with the people that make me a better person and around whom I’ve actually started to like and be comfortable with myself.
"I should have been somebody by now" I am not connected to perfoming at all but this hit me hard. I recently turned 23 and i've been stuck in a limbo with no way to get out or progress in some way since i was 18... No high education, no place for me in this world in general... But...here's hopefully to better changes coming our way and all the effort we put in finally paying off.
Anna M , Hey! I know it sucks to be in the same spot for sooo long, and I know it has to get a whole lot worse before it can get a little better. Remember to stick it out until the end, and you have more control than you think you do. I’m glad you have a little bit of hope and you know time will show you that you’re doing something right ❤️!
this song really hits home for me since getting sick. I had to leave high school in freshman year because i got too sick to go and since then its like my life has been on pause while i watch everyone i went to school with and was friends with move on with their lives making memories and going to college and doing everything i was supposed to be doing by now. I used to have plans and dreams for how my life was going to go but when i got sick it all went away. instead i have the memories of brain surgery, feeding tubes, hospitals, being in agonizing pain, in place of the memories i should have of the life im missing. im 20 now and still haven't gotten better and i keep finding myself listening to this on repeat sometimes because it feels like it was written for me, it hits home so hard. It puts everything i struggle to come to terms with in words and i feel like it has really helped me process the pain that came with losing that life i was supposed to have. so thank you for writing this and sharing it with the world. Your words and voice are so beautiful. You are somebody to me.
A true inspiration, an amazing vocalist, the best if I may add, truely a pure human being who deserves all and more, especially the fame and deserves to be known all over the world. People should hear his name, hear your voice. Know your name. Know your voice. I love you, Will, keep fighting! You are somebody.
You are someone to over 100 thousand people, people who relate to you and hear their own feeling in your voice. Make music for those people but most importantly for yourself
i keep rewatching this video and every time i do, it breaks my heart more and more. he’s so talented and he’s done so much to pursue something he has worked to hard for and wanted for so long. it’s so sad to see such determined people not get something they have sacrificed so much for, especially for the music business
I’m so sorry you aren’t getting the recognition you deserve. This world really is unfair, and sometimes luck doesn’t always follow hard work. But I think your talent is real and it will be recognized sooner or later. Wether you stop here or not, one day people will look back and say, how have I missed this for years? There is no doubt in my mind you have what it takes. I support you with all my heart, I believe you can get to where you wanna be, you really do deserve it after all this time. Thank you for your music, for your dedication and for all the sacrifices you’ve made.
This is the first music I cried to. Honestly... when everyone’s around you is graduation one by one, transferring to Uni. And getting their life together and you’re just here thinking maybe you should’ve done the same.
This is so personal. It is so hard when you are trying and nothing’s coming from it. People aren’t listening to what you write and what you produce. But keep your motivation high, I’ve always been told that there is a light at the end of every tunnel. How could you have a rainbow without rain?
