Half the explanations are “I don’t know what it means”, love this guy.
At least he's honest.
it's like bill has some kind of synesthesia for syllables that allow him to sometimes say things that literally mean nothing but just physically feel right coming off the tongue.
@@Paul_K_ but it weirdly does feel like that
He's honest. Thats great its good. I love it
right, at least he's not poser who try to act like it's deep
Why does this feel like this is the first time Bill is hearing this and he is just guessing what it means
it's definitely the first time he's heard it while sober
This Is genius, everything has to be lowered to their level
because it is
He's not forgetful, he was writing this in a state of Matt Silver-esque enlightenment
Bill blacks out and speaks straight from god and then wakes back up and the video’s already posted
“I’m riding a pony into the sunset” was such a good line and he wrote it in like 2 seconds because he thought it felt floaty
That line combined with "everything's green and gold so I'm not in hell yet" is my favorite line and one I want to quote when ppl ask me how I'm doing.
It's one of the better bridges I have heard and it was just a random combination of words lmao
@@tiedyedowl8367 LOL the last part of your comment
But yeah I love that part of the song too
@@tiedyedowl8367 someone : how are you?
You : im riding a pony, into the sunset, everything is green and gold so im not in hell yet
“Everything is green and gold so I’m not in hell yet”
Bill doesn’t know half the things he sang about and it’s amazing
You can make a religion out of this
No, don’t
I think he knows but he want us to realize our own reality

LITERALLY.
Listening to Bill's music and then asking him what the lyrics mean is like taking a bite of food and then asking the chef how it tastes.
He didn't he made a comparison
😂😂😂😂😂but yeah a funny
I JUST SPAT EVERYWHERE LMAO
Complete agreement.
Genius must begetting desperate for topics to talk about, when they try to litteraly explain the unexplainable, and reason the unreasonable.
A song from bill wurtz has an extremey subjective meaning or none altogether, and therefore cannot be pbjectively explained.
bill's explanation is what he felt it means. That's not what YOU have to think it means
That is 👌
genius: what do these lyrics mean?
bill: *mneh*
bill: gneurshk

YESSS. LISTENING IS UNDERSTANDING.
bill explaining lyrics:
lyric: “the milk is white”
ok so this really is saying how we have a liquid which we now know is milk, and as it’s pointed out it’s white. i am not sure if milk is really white but i think it’s sounds pretty rad? ? ? ?
Yup. That would be bill's explanation
That actually sounds very accurate
Nailed it.
The word rad feels so primitive ngl
bill is pretty rad
*I don't know but it's kinda weird almost uncomfortable to see a normal Bill Wurtz talking and making sense*
ihatedurian he was on a podcast
It's all I've ever wanted
Wait, this was sense??
He looks almost human and not like the interdimensional traveler from the future that he really is
"Making sense" ?
A lot of this is just music theory and most lyric explanations are just "I don't know." An incredible man.
I hear that's how the talking heads made their songs. They started with the music then made lyrics to fit the beats

It's so weird to think that Bil Wurtz is a normal human being. My mind can't comprehend it. I look at him and my brain just --'Thank's for checking in I'm still a piece of garbage'. You Know.
Vine Creater 900 yeah exactly
noooope. he’s insanely far from normal. watch the h3 podcast with him in it. what a fascinating guy, i hope Bill does well.
m o o o o o o d
The thing is, he’s still not a normal dude
I am honestly surprised that he exists in the modern world. I would’ve bet money that he was part of a social experiment where they put someone into the 90s permanently.
This honestly feels like they’re showing the lyrics to someone who’s never seen them before and is just really good at BS-ing
that's bill wurtz for you

Hey Stalin . I can read Russian
I know Bill writes “joke songs”, but this is actually a maserclass in the creative genius behind songwriting. He’s giving away all the gems here, folks.
Ah yes 'making the lyrics go diagonal' is one i need to remember
I don't think they're joke songs
@@subject_x5276 yeah they're genuinely enjoyable to listen to. My favorites' long long long journey and the day goes on.
He really is
@@Lemochii I know what he means though. It's the ADHD free-association thought process. Pear to apple makes sense because they're both fruit. Apple to pineapple makes sense because wordplay. Pineapple to porcupine makes sense because they're the same size and shape. Porcupine to sublime is fun because rhymes. But apples and sublime have nothing to do with eachother. So as you go FORWARD in timeline, you also go SIDEWAYS in topic, so you're moving DIAGONALLY in topic-over-time. it means you can have a vast change in meaning over a short period of time using a seamless transition. It's a good way to "take the audience for a ride" and dump them somewhere they didn't expect to be to add interest.
He sounds permanently high, but I'm convinced the man is brilliant.

@@CJ-jh9ri They used to pick and feature respectable artists, now they just feature anyone that has little to no talent at all, then categorizing them as "artists". This channel is one big meme now tbh.
😂😂 i almost subscribed till i realized he's not a part of this channel.
The only way a youtube channel can get boycotted is if people stop watching them entirely but, if anything, them featuring talentless people has gotten them a lot more views than them featuring talented people. So, no, they're not getting boycotted. People are just losing respect for them.
Hes completely insane and we love it

Bill: DIAGONAL MUSIC
this is the "meaning" video we didn't know we wanted, but we sure as hell did
I love the way he thinks and talks about music, it's like he's not explaining sounds but the feelings that they give off. Plus, it's kinda refreshing to hear someone talk about a song without some deep meaning hidden in it... Ñ○~MÆn¡ÑĢ 666~ Ī£ĹÜmÎŅĀt¡

times bill wurtz said "i don't know" in this video or something similar:
0:04 "so i really didn't know what i was talking about"
1:28 "i'm not sure what that means"
2:05 "i don't know what it means"
2:22 "i don't know, it's just..."
2:45 "i don't know if there's a gift shop"
2:59 "...climate change. i don't know"
3:51 "and the lyrics, i can't tell you where they came from"
4:27 "i don't know if that makes any sense"
an icon
3:51 makes me laugh
It’s funny to think he’s writing these lyrics literally, with no depth
Do this. Not the flossing song. None of that.
More of Mr. Wurtz

To hell with it, just change the channel from general music meaning review to Bill Wurtz song meaning reviews.
The complete history of the world I guess but every word is replaced by backpack kid saying flossin
He seems so much more casual than in the h3podcast :) it's kinda funny to watch him explain lyrics that clearly weren't all meant to have a strong meaning behind them
H3 always treat their guests poorly so I'm not surprised he's much more happier here when he can say stuff uninterrupted
You could tell he was irritated in the h3 podcast
H3H3 isnt the best with their guests but having a podcast of that lenght will show the uncomfort of the guest much more than a 4 minute video that is obviously heavily edited.
It's called editing
Dang this is just Bill continuously saying “I don’t know, I just think it’s neat.”
Bill is a legend. He's just a pile of internet

No man it's clever. Genius was shit. Hence your message
"I really like the word Reasonable"
Dew Matthew that’s reasonable.
That's why Bill is a good artist. He doesn't write all lyrics to make sense, he writes them purely out of feeling instead of thought. There doesn't need to be logic, he just does what *feels* right for them. And the interpretations of those lyrics, are fully up to the listeners. You can decide for yourself what they might mean. And i think that's beautiful.
And I take all of it as literally as possible

well, seems like we got a valuable wisdom from him : sometimes art aren't necessarily have to be complex or have any deep meaning to it, because the only thing matters is whether we enjoy it or not, and that's kinda be the main purpose of it.
that’s true!!
Well, even if he writes some kind of randomly, the fact that Bill likes the lyrics means that they kind of agree with him. And I think Bill's got a really nice attitude about stuff, he's the complexity and the joy all at the same time. So all his work is loaded with that vibe, and you can pick it up even in his nonsense lyrics. So yeah, I'm one level it's kind of goofy junk food, but on another level it's goofy junk food made by a wizard of goodwill.
