Updates that include songs released after this video was made: 3/29/2022 - 9 8 7 would go in “a slight groove”. This is a super chill song. Nothing wrong with it, but it feels more like background music rather than foreground. 4/19/2022 - at the corner store is an Absolute Jam. Not to mention the music video being suuuuper cool. Big fan of this one!!! UPDATE 8/24/22 - This MIGHT be an Eternal Banger. I REALLY like this and I find myself humming the "hey that's pretty cool, tell that to the whole damn neighborhood, and all the people go: DAMN" part all the time. SOOOO good!!! 5/10/2022 - "If the world doesn't end" has *the best* music video I've seen, yet. I really like all of the different scenes and lighting, and how it follows the song as it hops around from different feelings. Masterful visuals. The song itself however is sorta middle of the road for me. I would put it in low "a great tune". The ending is my favorite part (2:20-3:23) and the bridge/middle is my least favorite (1:45-2:20) (It reminds me a lot of the bridge of 987) 5/31/2022 - I'm a huge gamer most of the time - I'm not particularly a fan of this one, actually! It feels a bit unorganized. I love the visuals but the actual "song" is just "Still good but not as good as others" for me. However, 2:02 to 2:27 is an absolute jam. That section is great! The rest of it feels a bit messy and it's just ok. I can really appreciate this one for being different, though. Some people complain about same-ness (not me), and this one is definitely different from the other post hiatus songs. 6/21/22 - The Ground Plane - Cool song with a good vibe and good lyrics. A slight groove! Not much to say other than it's a little plain, maybe. Not "stand out" but not bad, at all. 7/12/22 - meet me in september - Absolute jam!!! I love it! It's really nice. super cool instrumental that is really easy for me to follow without it feeling distracting or busy. I think it's really good. I like the little melodies sprinkled throughout this one, too!! The outro is really cute with the "doop doo mm doos" 8/2/22 - I like to wear soft clothing - a slight groove overall. Super boring first minute with pretty much just one chord. 1:17 to 1:44 is really nice! I like it. the ending is dumb and the second chorus is not as coherent or nice as the first, in my opinion. 8/23/22 - the ending - Super nice vibes. Makes me feel like it could be his last song for a while :( I hope that's no the case. As many others have pointed out, the modulations in this song are incredible. It's a super fun song to *actively* listen to. It's a bit harder to appreciate by just casually listening to it and trying to follow along. I dont really like the ending, either. This is probably "a great tune", for me. But it's close to "a slight groove".
TOTALLY agree! So unique! Definitely my favorite artist. What’s your favorite song of his? Thanks so much for watching!! I hope you consider sharing the video, if you’d like :)
30:27 oH MY GOD I'M SO GLAD SOMEONE ELSE THINKS ABOUT AIRPORT TERMINAL THIS WAY this is the reason why airport terminal is one of my favorites, it feels so childish and uplifting but the lyrics go so much deeper and make so much sense when you put it in the death context
Yessss. Me too. All the new visuals and songs are just in a class of their own. Really a noticeable quality bump up!!! Crazy cool. Thanks for watching!!! I hope you really enjoyed my video and consider sharing it with people :) that would mean a lot to me!!!
I have adored Bill Wurtz for about a year now and didn't realize there were other people who are big fans of his whole discography too!! Also I am absolutely in love with "Fly Around." There's something about it that just impacts me on a deeper level than most of Bill's songs. Glad you ranked it so highly too :)
Yessss!!! Thank you so much for watching Isaiah! I am so glad to have found so many other Bill Wurtz fans in the comments. It is so awesome!!! And yesss. I love Fly Around. It’s so great. Please feel free to share this video, if you can! That would mean a ton to me :) Thanks again for your comment/feedback! You rock.
Oooo great theory. I think that’s canon!!! Thanks for stopping by and commenting :) I hope you consider sharing my video!!! Thanks again it really means a lot.
Bill Wurtz for me is a comfort musician. I recently went through one of the worst mental health periods I've ever experienced, and the only thing that would draw me out of it for just a moment was Bill's music. It was right around when Fly Around came out. When I listened to Fly Around for the first time it felt like a comforting blanket put around my body. I smiled for the first time in a month while listening to it. My depression didn't exist for a few minutes. Now while I'm out of that episode, I'm still depressed, and whenever Bill uploads something new, I find that solace again. I've enjoyed his music long before now, and I've felt depressed long before now too, but they haven't intersected like this until Fly Around. I appreciate Bill for making music that's goofy and/or directly uplifting, it's the only place I know I can go to for instant good vibes.
“Instant good vibes” is a great way to put it. I think his music certainly has a magical quality to it that I have yet to see matched by another musician/artist/animator. Seasons come and go but Wurtz is forever!!! I hope you found a similar happiness with watching this video and I hope you consider sticking around! :) have a great day!
Dude when I clicked on this video I did not know I was gonna be sat here for fifty minutes waving my hands and lip syncing along to these songs I'm so glad this video of a few hundred views showed up on my feed, it's wonderful to share the love of bill wurtz with people
Wow thank you so much, Noteworthy!!! Was this actually recommended on your home page?? That’s amazing!! I’m so glad you watched it and gave me some feedback, I appreciate that so much :) If you’d like, it would mean the world to me if you shared this video. That would be a huge help!! Thanks again for everything man. I’m so glad you enjoyed :)
So YOU were the one commenting about the death and afterlife interpretation of at the airport terminal in his website. I also remember bill responding "that angle does seem to work"
One of my favorites that wasn't mentioned here is "write a song on the count of 3", specifically the part that goes "if it makes you feel okay then i've done my job today", that scratches an itch in my brain like you wouldn't believe lol. Also, to me "at the airport terminal" sounds more like it's about the transition from one stage of life to the next than death in specific. Though death can definitely fit into how one relates to that reading as well.
First of all I have to tell you, fantastic job on the video. You put so much effort into it. I only knew a few Bill Wurtz songs before this, but of course knew him from "History of the entire world, i guess". So after watching your video, "la de da de da de da de day oh" and "fly around" are on repeat for me and I agree they deserve to be eternal bangers. I also really liked how uplifting the lyrics to "It's gonna be alright" are, as I am an optimist. I would probably have ranked it higher, but I think you mentioned you are only going by the music and not the lyrics. Some of the lyrics are really philosophical and I like to think of them as metaphors (as you mentioned when you were talking about "at the airport terminal." It's not just you, I do that with a lot of things I enjoy, I see them as metaphors for something bigger. Great job on the video and I can't wait to see more of your content, whatever type of video you decide to make.
Yes dude!!!! Thank you so much for the feedback. I always appreciate your comments, for real. And yeah, I like “it’s gonna be alright”. It gets stuck in my head a lot! It’s great to have you as a part of the community, man. Thanks again for the feedback and support. It means more than you might think!!!
Bill’s music does some of my favorite things music can do. His melodies are so genuine and sweeping. The rhythms are endlessly interesting. And the whole package is funny not just for its lyrics but for how it constantly subverts expectations. Can’t believe the Al Gore Rhythm didn’t serve this video to me until now. Thank you for combing through Bill’s work with so much enthusiasm!
The Al Gore Rhythm can be pretty brutal sometimes. Glad it suggested this one to you :) I totally agree! Love his music. It’s so unique. Thanks for watching :) I hope you enjoy my other content.
There are so many older Bill Wurtz tunes that I think are some of the best that didn't make it on this list. Like "you're free to do whatever you want to", i can play, rabbit snakes, all u gotta do is, hey jodie foster, Do What You Want To Do, and plenty more. Btw, Bill Wurtz has his own website, which includes a list of every song he's released since 2005. There's also a 'questions' page where he's constantly answering questions from people. During his yearlong break he was still active on there, and very clear about why it was taking him so long to release a new song.
Yeah man!! I love those website/RUclips songs. I mentioned quite a bit in this video how I enjoyed those and spent a lot of time on his questions page and his subreddit. To try and not make the video any longer than it already was- I limited the list to Spotify releases (mostly) only. I hope you still enjoyed the video!! I really appreciate you watching and leaving a comment. Please consider sharing the video if you want!! :)
Huge bill wurtz fan here! This one suddenly pop out in my reccomendation. I've listened to all of his songs everyday while biking to school/work, and the tier list is pretty much accurate. Songs like 'just did a bad thing', 'La de da', 'long long journey', and ESPECIALLY 'might quit' really has a special place in my heart. I remember when "here comes the sun" came out and holy shit I screamed and stopped whatever I was doing and it was just a banger when I listened to it, easily peak bill wurtz content. Long wait was worth it! You should do a tier list to bill wurtz' underrated songs that are only available at his website (naming a few of them that slaps for me: write a song on the count of 3, I guess I've got to listen to Bob marley, all u need is love, no brains). Unsure why he didn't publish them on RUclips (these are probably his least favorites) but i feel like more people should listen to it. Bill wurtz is easily one of my most favorite artist of all time. Love your video man! Just earned a sub :)
Alexander wow!! Thank you so much!! This video was on your RUclips home page??? For real?? That’s awesome. And yessss dude. All those top tier songs. So good! I love that you and I had similar experiences to when “here comes the sun” came out. That is hilarious. I will most definitely consider making another one with all website/RUclips songs. I think that’s a great idea!! Thanks for subscribing, man. That means a ton to me!! If you’d like to, it would really help if you shared this video, anywhere you’d like! Thanks again for all the feedback. You rock!
I’m so glad this comment exists :’) thank you so much! Please share the video, if you’d like to! It would help me out a ton. I hope you really enjoyed it!! :)
What a wonderful video! Never thought of a Bill Wurtz tier list, but it's an absolute banger (but it's very long so the algorithm may not really like it)! Personally I would rate "alphabet shuffle in "great tune" but still, fair enough. Anyways, bravo from France ! Also I challenge you to make the most bill wurtz-y track you can, in whichever time limit you find more challenging.
Adam!! Great to see you in the comments again, as always. I appreciate the support, a lot! (Are you in the discord yet, btw? Link in desc.) Alphabet shuffle IS a great tune. So simple and perfect. I should’ve put it higher for sure!! :) thanks, as always. I hope you’re doing well!
Thank you so much for watching jstrass!!! Always great to see your name in the comments. I too have always been a big fan of Bill, lol, as shown with this vid. Thanks again for watching.
I agree with your choices except New Canaan! New Canaan has such a great melody and I really feel it captures the vibe of an enjoyable journey. But I'll forgive
Oooo. Great way to describe that. It definitely does capture that vibe. They’re all so good!! It’s hard to decide. Love the harpsichord in New Canaan, too. Thanks so much for watching!!! I super super appreciate it. I hope you consider sharing the video :)
i agree new canaan is on the same level as fly around it's sooo good Edit: you're so right about it capturing the vibe of an enjoyable journey, i really felt like i went to new canaan, and played my ukulele under the bright blue sky at starbucks
I already adored "Airport Terminal", but that analysis just made me love it so much more omg Also, the Verse of "More than a Dream" sounds SO much like Brian David Gilbert's "See the Day" - from the melody, to the key, to the 7/8 time signature - which I'd totally recommend checking out (as well as Brian David Gilbert's "Dances Moving!", the thing that it's from - practically a 22-minute musical comedy drama short film split up between 7 parts) -Paintspot Infez Wasabi!
Totally!! Do it!! Also- please feel free to share this one with as many people as you’d like. It would mean the world to me, if you wanted to :) Thanks for watching. I hope you enjoyed the video!! What’s your favorite Bill Wurtz song?
Ok, this was a VERY well informed list, by someone who is just as invested as me, and also a musician. As it happens, it matches really well with my own preferences, for many of the same reasons you describe. However, I was so sad to see Outside not being an eternal banger, and Mt St Helens bla bla not being a strong absolute jam. I can't understand your thought process regarding Outside, especially since everything after "leaving on a different plane" might be some of the best and most enjoyable things Bill has ever done. But I respect your opinion on it, and commend you for the high quality list. I just need to let go of how someone so incredibly similar to me musically can't appreciate how much of a banger Outside is. It tears me apart inside :)
I think my gripe with Outside is that the chords are *too* weird for me. It’s not as poppy (it’s a bit more jazzy) when compared to other tunes. But it’s still great and pretty groovy. Thanks so much for watching Michael!!! I appreciate your feedback a TON. I hope you enjoyed the video and consider sharing it!! :)
:’) Thanks so much for watching, Thome! I’m glad that you still enjoyed the video even though my opinions were alllll over the place. Lol. If you can, it would mean the world to me if you shared this video around!! Thanks :)
nice tier list dude (good insight too). it would cool if you did this again with the newer songs / some older songs you missed like "i can play". also unrelated but "we can get high" and "meet me in september" may as well be the energy that supply my life. how does one man produce such amazing songs all by himself
Nice!!! That history of the world (and history of Japan) video is awesome. Legendary. Check out some of his music and then let me know what your favorite song of his is!! Thanks for watching Bobby. I super super appreciate it.
I love Fly Around, I know the lyrics are abstract but to me it's a song about feeling out of place in your environment but the world still moving on which I kinda find solace in
loving the video so far (and i'm sure i will continue to), but i couldn't believe you didn't talk about the rhythm switchup and lyrics in the last minute of slow down. that part is one of my fav all time bill wurtz moments. still agree with the placement you put it in tho edit: finished the video! I think my fav bill wurtz song gotta be If the World Doesn't End. somethin about it's overall vibe and especially the "slipped into this new rhythm" section
It was very fun to watch someone talking about bill wurtz for so long and passionately, thank you for making this video!! Also, I agree with most of the things you said. My favorite songs of his are la de da, I can play (not in the vid ) and I'm scared
Thank you so so much, Carmen! It’s so cool to see a bunch of other Bill Wurtz fans finding this video, it has really been awesome reading comments and talking with people. I listened to I can play early today, and I couldn’t help but bop my head to the beat!!! It’s so good! I’m a fan ;)) I hope you really enjoyed this video and consider sharing it around, if you can!! That would mean the world to me :) I appreciate you and your feedback!!!!
One of my favorite songs of his is "I Like". I still got that one line stuck in my head since middle school. "Its so cold down in Alabama! Its so cold out in L.A!"
More Than a Dream will always be the nostalgic one for me. My first real semester back at college after a year and a half of online class brain rot, and it was the background music of my favorite late nights writing short stories in the computer lab. Not to mention the hopeful lyrics~ Also Fly Around HAS to be about Legends: Arceus and the whole Sinnoh Revival.
'got some money' in the mid-level one is an absolute crime tbh. thats undoubtedly one of his most musically/harmonically adventurous but still super satisfying songs.
Also 'new canaan' should be top tier... there is so much *genuine* meaning and emotion in that early song of his, compared to the newer ones which are mostly meaningless.
As a big Bill Wurtz fan myself (my second favorite artist ever), I thoroughly enjoyed this tier list. My ranking is quite different, but that's alright since Bill has a huge variety on his musical construction :D The biggest crime for me is New Canaan being so low, that bass line is just a masterpiece in my opinion. But still, great list! Thoroughly enjoyed your explanations as well.
Thanks so much for watching Orhun!! I am so glad that you enjoyed this video :). I’m curious, who is your #1 favorite artist, if bill is number 2? Also, what would your s-tier (eternal banger) songs be? Thanks again for the feedback. Feel free to share the video, if you can!! That would mean the world to me!!
@@FunkadelicPeach It might come out as weird but it is Dream Theater. I am a guitarist and John Petrucci is just way too good at riff and solo writing for me. I like complicated music :D My Eternal Bangers would be New Canaan, Long Long Long Journey, Airport Terminal, Mt. Saint Helens, and Here Comes the Sun.
@@niverio8400 that’s awesome!! I saw Dream Theater during their 2013 tour. I’ve also had the pleasure of seeing Mike Portnoy play with the Neal Morse Band. Great rockers, all of em. Thanks again for watching and sharing. :)
Thank you for making a tier list video, it was very fun and entertaining to watch! I like a lot of Bill Wurtz's songs but I think my favourite is Money. I often find myself singing or humming the first part or the "happy birthday to you" part of it while I shower, it's just very catchy.
That “happy birthday” part is pure gold. I love how upbeat and happy it is. Thank you so much for watching my video!! I’m so glad to hear that you enjoyed it :)) If you can, it would mean a ton to me if you shared this video around!! That would be so awesome! Thanks again for stopping by. I hope you enjoy the rest of my content!!!!
st helen’s is probably in my top 10, i love basically everything about it and would call it an absolute banger. here comes the sun is my favorite both song and video wise
The airport terminal always gave me a weird vibe and I usually stay away from it, now that you've given me your theory it just freaks me out more, Ill continue to stay away from it
That’s awesome, Quinn!! I hope you really enjoyed watching :) I really appreciate your comment! If you’d like to, it would mean a ton to me if you considered sharing the video around!!!
@@themadman8185 heck yeah, man!!! If you took the time out of your day to watch my video, the least I can do is say hi to you and thank you for it!!! I think it’s really fun to engage with people who share similar interests. I love it :) Thanks for the sub. Appreciate it a lot!!
@@FunkadelicPeach The sub is mutually beneficial lol. You get views and stuff and whatever else happens. Idk, I'm not a RUclipsr lol. And I get good entertainment 😁
Super awesome video, I loved hearing about your passion for Bill’s music since it feels so similar to mine. I found it super interesting to hear which parts were special to you in each song and comparing them to my own; for example, Slow Down is a personal favorite of mine, and for some reason the part of that one that always gets me in a groove is the “my hat is bent” part, whereas you really loved the “bobblin’ down” part. And I’m so so happy you put “Fly Around” so high on the list, that one feels so special to me in a way that’s a little hard to describe. It’s just got those perfect vibes, you know? That’s a song that I can always revisit and it never grows old; I’m a huge fan of that ending too so I’m glad you pointed that part out. I really like “Money” as well and I probably would put it higher on my list than you did, but I also would probably put “School” in Eternal Banger so maybe that gives an idea of the kind of groove I love. And I’m glad you’ve been updating a comment with your thoughts on the latest songs, I think I’d probably rank 9 8 7 and at the corner store the exact same way you did.
Heidi!! Thank you so much for your comment and feedback!! I love seeing other huge fans watch my video all the way through and have feedback for me. It’s so so fun. It seems like we have a very similar taste in Bill and what we like about him! And yes, Fly Around is very special. I like it. Funnily enough, “Money” was added to my “2022 favorites” playlist shortly after making this video. It definitely grew on me. I like it a lot. Thanks again for watching!! I hope you consider subscribing and sharing my content! :)
I KNOW RIGHT?!?! I hope he does, someday. I think it is most DEFINITELY in the realm of possibilities. Thanks for watching!! I Hope you enjoy the rest of my content :D
Nice video. My only hot take (which might not be so hot to fans) is that Bill Wurtz is one of the all time greats. He's just got that special something that is so rare to see in an artist, it is an absolute joy to listen to his music
A few thoughts: - "In California" and "We Could Just Get High" are two of my favorite pre-HOTEWIG Bill songs, especially the latter. The key changes are incredible, and the vocals are some of his most passionate to date, especially on the second and third choruses. It is bit corny I suppose, but it captures a specific mood and might be my most played on Spotify. "In California"... man, that fucking GROOVE. One of the best bass riffs ever written, period. Straight out of the 70s. The chorus has a crazy progression and the lyrics are simple but very effective to me. For me, these two are high Absolute Jams to low Eternal Bangers, but it's OK you feel differently for now :') - Two other favorites of mine are "Got To Know What's Going On" and "I'm A Princess". The former is actually my favorite Bill Wurtz song, and honestly it's hard for me to express how much this song means to me. He made it in It's a song you relate to at 3 am when you aren't feeling so great about life and yourself. It tells you there is more. "I'm A Princess" is essentially the part 2 to this song. They have many peculiar similarities musically and lyrically that make them that much more melancholy and thought-provoking, and while Princess is more about Bill's troubled experiences with his own creative process rather than the general humanity-pondering of GTKWGO, they are two sides of the same coin in my book. Depressed Bill is really something special. - On that note of "Depressed Bill", I will leave you with my favorite 2011 song of his: "Go To The Store". This is honestly one of the most harrowing songs I have heard: it is sheer emptiness, the abandonment of all ambition, sinking into a hole that seems impossible to escape from. Bill was not in a great state in 2011, as he was really struggling with finding the right process to best help him satisfy his goals. Much of his music this year has undertones of emptiness and, for lack of a better word, stuckness. He was trying very traditional song structures and feeling unsatisfied, but with this song, that whole concept is flipped on its head. It is his heaviest song and really something special. - From his 2011 songs, two of my other favorites are "I Can Play" (recorded in 2014) and "All U Need is Love", which sounds totally unlike Bill and more like 80s European disco, FWIW. - I really admire Bill's 2018-19 streak, but I can't help but feel that at least a few of his songs got a bit "samey" during this time, partly/mostly due to the time crunch involved. The chord progressions and melodies were bright and poppy, but this led them to get a bit repetitive and... well, Bill was obviously a bit lyrically fixated on "getting back home". Most of his songs during this time are not among my favorites ("Slow Down", "Hallelujah", maybe "BF w My Own Front Door" although it's better than I remembered), and I think he has improved markedly as of lately, including lyrically, which is an angle I always appreciate with Bill.
I can totally see what you mean about the 2018-19 streak being somewhat same-y. To me, it feels like he’s “in his element” more than things being samey. Good point on the “getting back home” lyrics though lol. The post hiatus songs are definitely the most interesting, to me. The pre-hotewig songs feel mostly silly/experimental, and they are hard for me to take seriously. Like some of them feel like Bill just thought “well I don’t have a whole song figured out but I have this one idea so I’m just gonna record it and put it out there”. We could just get high is definitely a great song and (I think) one of the first ones where he proved that he could actually be a “song writer” and not just someone who posts their melodies online. Definitely an important song for his career as a songwriter. “In California” is just not a favorite of mine. That guitar loop really gets to me and bugs me lol. Thanks for all your feedback and comments!! I definitely need to check out more website specific stuff and pick out some of my favorites. Thanks for recommending a few. (I can play is good. I like it). Thanks for watching!! I hope you enjoyed the video and consider subscribing and sharing it :) I really appreciate you!
The guy who dissects a few of his songs in a jazz oriented manner is Charles Cornell, I think he made a few vids on Bill. He also broke down history of the entire world, i guess
I did not intend to watch this all the way through but 48 minutes later here we are. I think New Canaan is my most hummed tune and would be higher for me, but I really enjoyed your analysis. You have one (1) new subscriber 👍
Loved the video. Very glad it showed up in my YT feed. "Money" is an eternal banger for me (I guess I'm more of a Jazz head which is why) - What gets me every time are the polyrhythms in the last section, I still haven't worked out each of the rhythms that are going on. I probably also like it because it's one of his few Minor key tunes. I agree they're not the best but I will Vibe and Jam along to "Hello sexy pants" and "The Ground Plane" for as long as I live! Might Quit actually pulls at my heart strings a little. I used to get a little sad listening to it because of the thought that it was Bill's last video.(Do you remember the day we pretended to be every star in the sky?) Don't you love it when Bill transcribes parts of his solos in the videos like in the Airport Terminal
DUDE! Yes!! That is awesome to hear. I love it. Thanks so much for the comments!!! it means so much to me. I love that this whole comment section has turned into a fan celebration of Bill Wurtz lol. Thanks so much! I hope you consider subscribing and checking out my other videos :)
I began writing this comment with the intention of listing my favourite or even a few favourites of Bill's songs, but I quickly realised that would result in a comment the length of a novel so I'll just say that yeah -- he's pretty good.
LOL. I totally get why you mean. Yeah. That’s what would happen for me, too ;) Thanks so much for watching my video!! I hope you really enjoyed it and consider sharing this video with others, or liking/subscribing. It would mean a lot to me!! Thanks!! :)
I'd be OK with you turning into a bill wurtz fan channel. But just jumping in at the beginning, if you don't rank Airplane Terminal as top tier, I'm gonna flip my desk.
Leo!!! Thanks man. And yes I can assure you that Airport Terminal is one of my personal favorites. And definitely the most unique and special of them all! I talk about a conspiracy theory I have about it, as well ;) Thanks so much for watching. I hope you enjoyed it!! Consider sharing the video, if you wanna. :) thanks again.
@@FunkadelicPeach STILL WATCHING. no spoilers dude. I GOTTA LISTEN TO THE WHOLE SONGS AS YOU MENTION THEM, SO THIS IS GONNA BE LIKE A 4 HOUR ADVENTURE.
Awe I can't believe you didn't have his song 'I Can Play'!! I don't think it's on Spotify, but it's on RUclips! I'd love to see a live reaction if you haven't heard it!
I Can Play has a great upbeat vibe that makes me bop my head. It’s great!! Thanks for watching my video!! I hope you really enjoyed it and consider sharing it, if you’d like :)
I think the terminal is life, as he talks about being born and dying as well as planes coming and going. Leaving the terminal or getting on your flight is dying
Just wanted to say you have good taste and done us a service by cataloguing this material which is obscure, I just discovered this guys work its mind blowing... It raises so many questions, why has he chosen to use his immense talent this seeming obscure way, how much more is there to him and his story, where did he study music etc... So many "whys" and "how's" how much more is there to discover.... People who are gifted and unusual "total anomalies" are themselves a continually unravelling discovery
Thanks so much, back2bass!!! Yes. This artist is definitely unique, obscure, and enormously talented. He’s great. Thanks so much for the comment and for checking out this video!!! I hope you enjoy the rest of my channel and consider subbing :) it means a lot to me!
I got to know the work of Bill Wurtz with "Here comes the sun"... Mind blown immediately... Binged out the rest of his songs immediately... Never turning back.
YES! for real. I listened to Here Comes The Sun about 50 times when it first came out. Back to back to back. I didnt know a single song could be so interesting!! Thanks for stopping by :))) I hope you enjoy the rest of my content and consider subscribing!!! :D
Fly Around is amazing, and it got me to put Bill Wurtz songs on my spotify playlists. Before I only watched the youtube videos since the history of the entire world I guess up until now
Nice!!! Yeah- fly around is something special, for sure. Thanks so much for watching my video, Matt!! I hope you really enjoyed it and consider sharing it around :) that would mean a ton to me!!!
It is reaaaaally good. I love that interlude/melody/chorus thing. Thanks so much for watching!!! I hope you really enjoyed the video and consider sharing it, if you can :) that would mean a lot.
@@FunkadelicPeach I did enjoy it! Watched all the way through. You have a much more thorough knowledge of wurtz's discography so i enjoyed discovering some ones I hadnt heard. I added Hello Sexy Pants to my "dream wedding playlist" lol. Love the vibes,
Yessir!! You know it!! It’s a great song. I love the pre chorus, most of all. Thanks for watching!! I hope you really enjoyed the video and share it with other Bill Wurtz fans!! :)
If it'll help the algorithm...my eldest (18) turned out to be a music man, and he turned me on to the Wurtzverse. Fuckdiculously amazing. "Money" is my knee-jerk favorite. 9 8 7 seems destined for lasting appreciation, too. I homeschooled the squids when they were younger (entertainment industry, night shift, English degree just sitting there accumulating interest of the wrong kind, etc), and I took their cultural education seriously. Tried to expose them to a broad range of genres and time periods, tried to provide some context for what made each work worth knowing, basically fire-hosed them with all that I knew, enhanced with additional research. Now they've totally blown past the need for a tour guide, and I get to chill in the side car with my scarf and goggles, absorbing the Zoomer landscape. 😎
I love this comment so much. Very rad. I’m really glad you checked out the video and enjoy Bill Wurtz’s wacky fun music!!! Very cool stuff. Thanks for sharing. I hope you enjoy the rest of my content! :)
this is an incredibly hard video to make, not just because bill is a fantastic musician, but also because bill releases banger after banger. how can anyone make a follow up video if he keeps making eternal bangers?
I KNOW RIGHT!??! Thats the problem!! lol. Thanks so much for watching :) I hope you consider subscribing and checking out my most recent video!! It would mean a lot to me :)
Awesome video! I missed some website-exclusive songs tho, such as Guess I've got to listen to Bob Marley (Bill doesn't like it but idc, I love it, specially the last part). Still, great great video. And man, I loved how you sang along every song, because it was like watching myself going crazy every evening when no one is watching me haha
Thank you so much Alejandro!! I really really appreciate it. And yeah - I definitely should’ve just made more/included more website/RUclips songs. Those are all really good!! I want to go back and relisten to them later today :) I hope you enjoy the rest of my channel!! Consider sharing this video, if you’d like :) that would mean a ton to me.
Awesome!!! I need more recommendations of “website specific” songs. Or ones that aren’t on Spotify. I’ll check those out, for sure. Any others you would recommend? Also, if the Spotify releases, do you have any favorites? Thanks so much for watching!! I hope you enjoyed my video and consider sharing it, if you’d like :)
@@FunkadelicPeach I have a soft spot for Fever and Murder Your Demon, but you may want to poke around with them and figure out what you like. Also his jazz version of Mexico by James Taylor
Out of all the songs, i just have to say that there is no contest for my favorite. By far, by a landslide, without a single doubt, More than a dream is one that I can’t stop listening to. you talked a lot about poppy versus interesting, and how you really have to pay attention to more than a dream. That may apply to others, but as a person who hyperfocuses on things that I like, paying attention to this song is the only thing I do while listening to it. it would honestly be my favorite song ever, if it weren’t for penelope scott and the postal service. Not to mention, I can tell this is the exact point where he got a hang of 3D animation. The whole music video is smooth, simplistic, and minimalistic, while also having enough details to keep my eyes busy for a long while In short: it’s simple and clean, but it also provides endless intrigue. It’s easy to get lost in.
Totally agree. More than a dream is certainly one of the most “interesting” and “engaging” songs he has ever made. I love it!! It’s grown on me a TON since I’ve first heard it. I hope you really enjoyed my video and consider sharing it!!! That would mean the absolute world to me :) Thanks again for your comment and have a great day!!!
@@FunkadelicPeach Here’s something funny: recently, after listening to a lot of bill wurtz songs over again, More Than a Dream got dethroned, not once, not twice, but three times, by Just Did a Bad Thing, The Day Goes On, and At the Corner Store. My favorite bill wurtz song is currently the third one of those three, but tbh this could change at any time because my preferences, likes, etc are constantly changing
So good! My personal favourites are: fly around, all time favourite, kept replaying the outro and the heavenly sounding segment with the lyrics, "So I'm holding onto the details / Capture this moment..." more than a dream, its just so good, especially because of the "Dreams make sense / And all the best dreams will be dreamed again.." part second all time favourite, i'm scared, reminds me of one of those underground mario platform levels "help me understand help me formulate a plan" was a jam, and the little instrumental bit just before and including he 2 verses starting "I'm not scared / I'm just a little bit concerned and overwhelmed about something", super catchy like an earworm here comes the sun an absolute banger, I overplayed it so much when it came out that I'm not impressed by it anymore, hoping a listening break will allow me to enjoy it again, but I remember the feeling of glee I had and i wanna be a movie star because I can't get over the bassline and the "And I know your probably wondering who you are" and the outro with the "I'm gonna be a movie star" was so pretty
Great picks!!! ALL of the post hiatus stuff has been incredible, honestly. And cool pick with Movie Star!! Did you know it's in 9/4 time signature? Crazy! Thanks for stopping by and checking out this video. I hope you really enjoyed it and consider subscribing and sharing the video! :)
Totally. I think it’s one of his best, yet!!! It’s great!! Thanks for watching my video Zamboni! I hope you enjoyed it and consider sharing it around :)
@@FunkadelicPeach I didn't shoe it to them (or at least I didn't mean to) they just happened to hear the song because my volume was too high. My headphones were in but it sounded like a speaker
SALMON!!! THanks so much for watching, bro!! I really appreciate it. The subscription means a lot as well. Really appreciate it. I hope you enjoy my other videos and consider joining the discord!! :D
I'll be honest, I didn't know what I was going into with Bill Wurtz. No regerts. I need to create a sound board with some clips of his music to just use at random.
Nice!!! That is awesome. My introduction to him was back with the Vine videos, super long time ago. Fun stuff. Thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoy the content on this channel :)
great video! feel like youve missed some songs, though (like you're free to do whatever you want to and i'm a diamond). also, you infrequently told us when you skipped, when sometimes it was much less obvious you skipped it, yet still no disclaimer, an example being how you cut "i'm confused". you make it seem like it's the same length as i'm stuck in a rut.
Yes I definitely made some on-beat cuts that were not obvious unless you knew the songs, for sure. Thank you for the feedback!! Definitely trying to edit better for future tier lists. Check out my most recent one and let me know what you think!!! Thanks for the comment and support, Bromine!!! :)
I did, yeah. There were a bunch of website/RUclips ones that I skipped because otherwise the video would be over an hour lol. I hope you enjoyed the vid!! Please consider sharing it, if you can. That would mean a lot to me!! :)
Just did a bad thing and Might quit will probably always be my favorites. I used to like best friends with my own front door the most just because nostalgia but all of his songs ae so amazing in their own way. It's so weird to call him one of my favorite artists ever because he's so unique but i really like seeing that there's a lot of people who agree
Totally feel the same way!! It’s weird to say he is my favorite artist, too. But it’s probably true!! I hope you enjoyed the video and consider checking out a few of my other videos!!
ITS ME. IM THE GUY WHO CONNECTS TO BILL WURTZ. lol. I love his stuff. Thanks for stopping by Aidan!! I hope you enjoy my other videos and consider subscribing :)
I'm realizing there are a lot of songs I didn't know because I only knew the channel "bill wurtz" and many of them are in "Bill wurtz - topic" I feel weird
Ohhhhh. Interesting! Yeah they are all sooooo good :) glad you’re checking them out now!! Thanks for watching my video by the way! Please feel free to share or subscribe.
The 0-3 demographic strongly protests your ranking of Alphabet Shuffle. Wurtz slaps, I just wish I knew if the lyrics are truly nonsensical or if there are some wild, next-level meanings behind most of them.
LOL. I totally agree. I think most of them MUST have hidden meanings that we will never know. His subreddit often has people trying to dissect meaning from his lyrics and "questions" page on his website. Super fun. Thanks for stopping by! I hope you subscribe and enjoy my newest video :)
Hello Sexy pants is honestly soooo good. It's a classic. Thanks for watching!!! it means a lot to me :) I hope you subscribe and enjoy the rest of my videos!
@@kidkrowtaylor.ৎ yeah! I mention it in the pinned comment of the video I think. Thanks again for watching!! I hope you enjoy my new content and subscribe :)
Shame you didn't do more interpretation. I know Bill's abstract lyricism can sometimes be hard to pin anything under. But I wanted for you to share some more of your theories other than just "at the airport terminal". At least some of the more straight-forward songs. (as straight-forward as you can get with Bill)
Totally. I have a few more theories that are more than just surface level (for example, “slow down” being about being on drugs and interpreting the world differently) but I think some of them are pretty far fetched. Thanks so much for watching and for the feedback!!! I appreciate that more than you might think. If you want, it would help me out a lot if you liked and shared the video!! :)
Niccccccee. That one is definitely a top pick for me, too. It’s just so catchy and groovy! Thanks for watching :) I hope you enjoy the rest of my channel and consider sharing the video!!
![Blox Fruits Dragon Rework Update [Full Stream]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/EqDAp8udhm0/mqdefault.jpg)
Updates that include songs released after this video was made:
3/29/2022 - 9 8 7 would go in “a slight groove”. This is a super chill song. Nothing wrong with it, but it feels more like background music rather than foreground.
4/19/2022 - at the corner store is an Absolute Jam. Not to mention the music video being suuuuper cool. Big fan of this one!!! UPDATE 8/24/22 - This MIGHT be an Eternal Banger. I REALLY like this and I find myself humming the "hey that's pretty cool, tell that to the whole damn neighborhood, and all the people go: DAMN" part all the time. SOOOO good!!!
5/10/2022 - "If the world doesn't end" has *the best* music video I've seen, yet. I really like all of the different scenes and lighting, and how it follows the song as it hops around from different feelings. Masterful visuals. The song itself however is sorta middle of the road for me. I would put it in low "a great tune". The ending is my favorite part (2:20-3:23) and the bridge/middle is my least favorite (1:45-2:20) (It reminds me a lot of the bridge of 987)
5/31/2022 - I'm a huge gamer most of the time - I'm not particularly a fan of this one, actually! It feels a bit unorganized. I love the visuals but the actual "song" is just "Still good but not as good as others" for me. However, 2:02 to 2:27 is an absolute jam. That section is great! The rest of it feels a bit messy and it's just ok. I can really appreciate this one for being different, though. Some people complain about same-ness (not me), and this one is definitely different from the other post hiatus songs.
6/21/22 - The Ground Plane - Cool song with a good vibe and good lyrics. A slight groove! Not much to say other than it's a little plain, maybe. Not "stand out" but not bad, at all.
7/12/22 - meet me in september - Absolute jam!!! I love it! It's really nice. super cool instrumental that is really easy for me to follow without it feeling distracting or busy. I think it's really good. I like the little melodies sprinkled throughout this one, too!! The outro is really cute with the "doop doo mm doos"
8/2/22 - I like to wear soft clothing - a slight groove overall. Super boring first minute with pretty much just one chord. 1:17 to 1:44 is really nice! I like it. the ending is dumb and the second chorus is not as coherent or nice as the first, in my opinion.
8/23/22 - the ending - Super nice vibes. Makes me feel like it could be his last song for a while :( I hope that's no the case. As many others have pointed out, the modulations in this song are incredible. It's a super fun song to *actively* listen to. It's a bit harder to appreciate by just casually listening to it and trying to follow along. I dont really like the ending, either. This is probably "a great tune", for me. But it's close to "a slight groove".
@Old Monke true!! That’s a good way to describe it, for sure. :)
NO IT'S THE BEST
@@FunkadelicPeach so what is your rating? i'd say great tune or absolute jam
@@bl4ckk I’m still split between slight groove and great tune. It’s a chill song but not one of my absolute favorites. :)
@@FunkadelicPeach Nice, I just really like the bridge, it's catchy.
I absolutely love Fly around and I’m so happy people feel the same way about it!
Yes!!! It’s such a good song. Thanks so much for watching!! I really appreciate that more than you might think :)
Absolutely. The dissonant chord it lands on in the chorus is stunning, and the modulation in the 3rd chorus creates suuuuuch good chords
@@bobfaceasdf9251 agreed!! I love it!!!
it feels so similar to i'm a princess and i love that vibe
Fly around is the best
Bill is the most underrated non-mainstream artist out there! He needs to be mainstream!
TOTALLY agree! So unique! Definitely my favorite artist. What’s your favorite song of his?
Thanks so much for watching!! I hope you consider sharing the video, if you’d like :)
@@FunkadelicPeach it honestly changes though out the year lol! I’ll save it for sure!
@@justinteamer1862 lol cool. Thanks man!!!
I dunno, Bill Wurtz is pretty mainstream. He has a video with over 100 million views.
@@RetroReviewsMovies But like music-wise
30:27 oH MY GOD I'M SO GLAD SOMEONE ELSE THINKS ABOUT AIRPORT TERMINAL THIS WAY
this is the reason why airport terminal is one of my favorites, it feels so childish and uplifting but the lyrics go so much deeper and make so much sense when you put it in the death context
I think More than a Dream recently became my favorite.
I’ve been listening for years and I can’t believe how good this post hiatus run has been.
Yessss. Me too. All the new visuals and songs are just in a class of their own. Really a noticeable quality bump up!!! Crazy cool.
Thanks for watching!!! I hope you really enjoyed my video and consider sharing it with people :) that would mean a lot to me!!!
I have adored Bill Wurtz for about a year now and didn't realize there were other people who are big fans of his whole discography too!!
Also I am absolutely in love with "Fly Around." There's something about it that just impacts me on a deeper level than most of Bill's songs. Glad you ranked it so highly too :)
Yessss!!! Thank you so much for watching Isaiah! I am so glad to have found so many other Bill Wurtz fans in the comments. It is so awesome!!! And yesss. I love Fly Around. It’s so great. Please feel free to share this video, if you can! That would mean a ton to me :)
Thanks again for your comment/feedback! You rock.
he heated the porridge for the wrong amount of time, and thats how he died
Oooo great theory. I think that’s canon!!! Thanks for stopping by and commenting :) I hope you consider sharing my video!!! Thanks again it really means a lot.
Bill Wurtz for me is a comfort musician. I recently went through one of the worst mental health periods I've ever experienced, and the only thing that would draw me out of it for just a moment was Bill's music. It was right around when Fly Around came out. When I listened to Fly Around for the first time it felt like a comforting blanket put around my body. I smiled for the first time in a month while listening to it. My depression didn't exist for a few minutes. Now while I'm out of that episode, I'm still depressed, and whenever Bill uploads something new, I find that solace again.
I've enjoyed his music long before now, and I've felt depressed long before now too, but they haven't intersected like this until Fly Around. I appreciate Bill for making music that's goofy and/or directly uplifting, it's the only place I know I can go to for instant good vibes.
“Instant good vibes” is a great way to put it. I think his music certainly has a magical quality to it that I have yet to see matched by another musician/artist/animator. Seasons come and go but Wurtz is forever!!! I hope you found a similar happiness with watching this video and I hope you consider sticking around! :) have a great day!
Dude when I clicked on this video I did not know I was gonna be sat here for fifty minutes waving my hands and lip syncing along to these songs
I'm so glad this video of a few hundred views showed up on my feed, it's wonderful to share the love of bill wurtz with people
Wow thank you so much, Noteworthy!!! Was this actually recommended on your home page?? That’s amazing!! I’m so glad you watched it and gave me some feedback, I appreciate that so much :)
If you’d like, it would mean the world to me if you shared this video. That would be a huge help!! Thanks again for everything man. I’m so glad you enjoyed :)
So YOU were the one commenting about the death and afterlife interpretation of at the airport terminal in his website.
I also remember bill responding "that angle does seem to work"
LOL. You know it!!! Thanks again for both of your comments :) I really appreciate it!! Feel free to share as much as you’d like.
One of my favorites that wasn't mentioned here is "write a song on the count of 3", specifically the part that goes "if it makes you feel okay then i've done my job today", that scratches an itch in my brain like you wouldn't believe lol.
Also, to me "at the airport terminal" sounds more like it's about the transition from one stage of life to the next than death in specific. Though death can definitely fit into how one relates to that reading as well.
First of all I have to tell you, fantastic job on the video. You put so much effort into it. I only knew a few Bill Wurtz songs before this, but of course knew him from "History of the entire world, i guess".
So after watching your video, "la de da de da de da de day oh" and "fly around" are on repeat for me and I agree they deserve to be eternal bangers. I also really liked how uplifting the lyrics to "It's gonna be alright" are, as I am an optimist. I would probably have ranked it higher, but I think you mentioned you are only going by the music and not the lyrics. Some of the lyrics are really philosophical and I like to think of them as metaphors (as you mentioned when you were talking about "at the airport terminal." It's not just you, I do that with a lot of things I enjoy, I see them as metaphors for something bigger.
Great job on the video and I can't wait to see more of your content, whatever type of video you decide to make.
Yes dude!!!! Thank you so much for the feedback. I always appreciate your comments, for real. And yeah, I like “it’s gonna be alright”. It gets stuck in my head a lot! It’s great to have you as a part of the community, man. Thanks again for the feedback and support. It means more than you might think!!!
Bill’s music does some of my favorite things music can do. His melodies are so genuine and sweeping. The rhythms are endlessly interesting. And the whole package is funny not just for its lyrics but for how it constantly subverts expectations.
Can’t believe the Al Gore Rhythm didn’t serve this video to me until now. Thank you for combing through Bill’s work with so much enthusiasm!
The Al Gore Rhythm can be pretty brutal sometimes. Glad it suggested this one to you :)
I totally agree! Love his music. It’s so unique. Thanks for watching :) I hope you enjoy my other content.
There are so many older Bill Wurtz tunes that I think are some of the best that didn't make it on this list. Like "you're free to do whatever you want to", i can play, rabbit snakes, all u gotta do is, hey jodie foster, Do What You Want To Do, and plenty more.
Btw, Bill Wurtz has his own website, which includes a list of every song he's released since 2005. There's also a 'questions' page where he's constantly answering questions from people. During his yearlong break he was still active on there, and very clear about why it was taking him so long to release a new song.
Yeah man!! I love those website/RUclips songs. I mentioned quite a bit in this video how I enjoyed those and spent a lot of time on his questions page and his subreddit. To try and not make the video any longer than it already was- I limited the list to Spotify releases (mostly) only. I hope you still enjoyed the video!! I really appreciate you watching and leaving a comment. Please consider sharing the video if you want!! :)
Huge bill wurtz fan here! This one suddenly pop out in my reccomendation. I've listened to all of his songs everyday while biking to school/work, and the tier list is pretty much accurate. Songs like 'just did a bad thing', 'La de da', 'long long journey', and ESPECIALLY 'might quit' really has a special place in my heart.
I remember when "here comes the sun" came out and holy shit I screamed and stopped whatever I was doing and it was just a banger when I listened to it, easily peak bill wurtz content. Long wait was worth it!
You should do a tier list to bill wurtz' underrated songs that are only available at his website (naming a few of them that slaps for me: write a song on the count of 3, I guess I've got to listen to Bob marley, all u need is love, no brains). Unsure why he didn't publish them on RUclips (these are probably his least favorites) but i feel like more people should listen to it.
Bill wurtz is easily one of my most favorite artist of all time. Love your video man! Just earned a sub :)
Alexander wow!! Thank you so much!! This video was on your RUclips home page??? For real?? That’s awesome. And yessss dude. All those top tier songs. So good! I love that you and I had similar experiences to when “here comes the sun” came out. That is hilarious.
I will most definitely consider making another one with all website/RUclips songs. I think that’s a great idea!!
Thanks for subscribing, man. That means a ton to me!! If you’d like to, it would really help if you shared this video, anywhere you’d like! Thanks again for all the feedback. You rock!
I am literally so glad that this video exists and that somebody did this
I’m so glad this comment exists :’) thank you so much!
Please share the video, if you’d like to! It would help me out a ton. I hope you really enjoyed it!! :)
What a wonderful video! Never thought of a Bill Wurtz tier list, but it's an absolute banger (but it's very long so the algorithm may not really like it)! Personally I would rate "alphabet shuffle in "great tune" but still, fair enough.
Anyways, bravo from France !
Also I challenge you to make the most bill wurtz-y track you can, in whichever time limit you find more challenging.
Adam!! Great to see you in the comments again, as always. I appreciate the support, a lot! (Are you in the discord yet, btw? Link in desc.)
Alphabet shuffle IS a great tune. So simple and perfect. I should’ve put it higher for sure!! :) thanks, as always. I hope you’re doing well!
Awesome vid man! I have always been such a fan of Bill.
Thank you so much for watching jstrass!!! Always great to see your name in the comments. I too have always been a big fan of Bill, lol, as shown with this vid. Thanks again for watching.
I agree with your choices except New Canaan! New Canaan has such a great melody and I really feel it captures the vibe of an enjoyable journey. But I'll forgive
Oooo. Great way to describe that. It definitely does capture that vibe. They’re all so good!! It’s hard to decide. Love the harpsichord in New Canaan, too. Thanks so much for watching!!! I super super appreciate it. I hope you consider sharing the video :)
i agree new canaan is on the same level as fly around it's sooo good
Edit: you're so right about it capturing the vibe of an enjoyable journey, i really felt like i went to new canaan, and played my ukulele under the bright blue sky at starbucks
i choked on some water and blasted water out of my nose
Wow!! I hope you’re ok! Lol. Thanks so much for watching my video!! I hope you enjoyed it and consider subbing or sharing the video :)
@@FunkadelicPeach XD I'm ok, thanks! Yeah, it was a great vid
I already adored "Airport Terminal", but that analysis just made me love it so much more omg
Also, the Verse of "More than a Dream" sounds SO much like Brian David Gilbert's "See the Day" - from the melody, to the key, to the 7/8 time signature - which I'd totally recommend checking out (as well as Brian David Gilbert's "Dances Moving!", the thing that it's from - practically a 22-minute musical comedy drama short film split up between 7 parts)
-Paintspot Infez
Wasabi!
I've never thought of doing a Bill Wurtz tier list.. I might try that one day
Totally!! Do it!! Also- please feel free to share this one with as many people as you’d like. It would mean the world to me, if you wanted to :)
Thanks for watching. I hope you enjoyed the video!! What’s your favorite Bill Wurtz song?
Ok, this was a VERY well informed list, by someone who is just as invested as me, and also a musician. As it happens, it matches really well with my own preferences, for many of the same reasons you describe. However, I was so sad to see Outside not being an eternal banger, and Mt St Helens bla bla not being a strong absolute jam. I can't understand your thought process regarding Outside, especially since everything after "leaving on a different plane" might be some of the best and most enjoyable things Bill has ever done. But I respect your opinion on it, and commend you for the high quality list. I just need to let go of how someone so incredibly similar to me musically can't appreciate how much of a banger Outside is. It tears me apart inside :)
I think my gripe with Outside is that the chords are *too* weird for me. It’s not as poppy (it’s a bit more jazzy) when compared to other tunes. But it’s still great and pretty groovy. Thanks so much for watching Michael!!! I appreciate your feedback a TON. I hope you enjoyed the video and consider sharing it!! :)
I agree with you! I turned on this video just to see where he'd place Outside and Just Did a Bad Thing. Those are my top two
'more than a dream' makes me wanna cry everytime, its an eternal banger. loved the vid even though youre wrong >:[
:’)
Thanks so much for watching, Thome! I’m glad that you still enjoyed the video even though my opinions were alllll over the place. Lol. If you can, it would mean the world to me if you shared this video around!! Thanks :)
nice tier list dude (good insight too). it would cool if you did this again with the newer songs / some older songs you missed like "i can play".
also unrelated but "we can get high" and "meet me in september" may as well be the energy that supply my life. how does one man produce such amazing songs all by himself
Fly Around is one of my favorite songs of all time, definitely happy to see it get such high praise
Had never heard of him before, but I did see his history of the world video.
Nice!!! That history of the world (and history of Japan) video is awesome. Legendary. Check out some of his music and then let me know what your favorite song of his is!!
Thanks for watching Bobby. I super super appreciate it.
I love Fly Around, I know the lyrics are abstract but to me it's a song about feeling out of place in your environment but the world still moving on which I kinda find solace in
loving the video so far (and i'm sure i will continue to), but i couldn't believe you didn't talk about the rhythm switchup and lyrics in the last minute of slow down. that part is one of my fav all time bill wurtz moments. still agree with the placement you put it in tho
edit: finished the video! I think my fav bill wurtz song gotta be If the World Doesn't End. somethin about it's overall vibe and especially the "slipped into this new rhythm" section
It was very fun to watch someone talking about bill wurtz for so long and passionately, thank you for making this video!!
Also, I agree with most of the things you said.
My favorite songs of his are la de da, I can play (not in the vid ) and I'm scared
Thank you so so much, Carmen! It’s so cool to see a bunch of other Bill Wurtz fans finding this video, it has really been awesome reading comments and talking with people.
I listened to I can play early today, and I couldn’t help but bop my head to the beat!!! It’s so good! I’m a fan ;))
I hope you really enjoyed this video and consider sharing it around, if you can!! That would mean the world to me :) I appreciate you and your feedback!!!!
Alphabet shuffle is a great tune. My kids will be taught the ABCs using that song
Great point. Mine will too, someday! :D
Thanks so much for watching, Joey!! I hope you really enjoyed the video and consider sharing it :)
Defo doing the same 😂
Why should we only limit young minds to orthodox nursery Rhymes!
One of my favorite songs of his is "I Like". I still got that one line stuck in my head since middle school. "Its so cold down in Alabama! Its so cold out in L.A!"
More Than a Dream will always be the nostalgic one for me. My first real semester back at college after a year and a half of online class brain rot, and it was the background music of my favorite late nights writing short stories in the computer lab. Not to mention the hopeful lyrics~
Also Fly Around HAS to be about Legends: Arceus and the whole Sinnoh Revival.
'got some money' in the mid-level one is an absolute crime tbh. thats undoubtedly one of his most musically/harmonically adventurous but still super satisfying songs.
Also 'new canaan' should be top tier... there is so much *genuine* meaning and emotion in that early song of his, compared to the newer ones which are mostly meaningless.
As a big Bill Wurtz fan myself (my second favorite artist ever), I thoroughly enjoyed this tier list. My ranking is quite different, but that's alright since Bill has a huge variety on his musical construction :D The biggest crime for me is New Canaan being so low, that bass line is just a masterpiece in my opinion. But still, great list! Thoroughly enjoyed your explanations as well.
Thanks so much for watching Orhun!! I am so glad that you enjoyed this video :). I’m curious, who is your #1 favorite artist, if bill is number 2? Also, what would your s-tier (eternal banger) songs be?
Thanks again for the feedback. Feel free to share the video, if you can!! That would mean the world to me!!
@@FunkadelicPeach It might come out as weird but it is Dream Theater. I am a guitarist and John Petrucci is just way too good at riff and solo writing for me. I like complicated music :D
My Eternal Bangers would be New Canaan, Long Long Long Journey, Airport Terminal, Mt. Saint Helens, and Here Comes the Sun.
@@niverio8400 that’s awesome!! I saw Dream Theater during their 2013 tour. I’ve also had the pleasure of seeing Mike Portnoy play with the Neal Morse Band. Great rockers, all of em.
Thanks again for watching and sharing. :)
@@FunkadelicPeach I will do an update to my Eternal Bangers list: Fly Around has grown on me like crazy. Such a good song, and so unique too.
Thank you for making a tier list video, it was very fun and entertaining to watch!
I like a lot of Bill Wurtz's songs but I think my favourite is Money. I often find myself singing or humming the first part or the "happy birthday to you" part of it while I shower, it's just very catchy.
That “happy birthday” part is pure gold. I love how upbeat and happy it is. Thank you so much for watching my video!! I’m so glad to hear that you enjoyed it :))
If you can, it would mean a ton to me if you shared this video around!! That would be so awesome! Thanks again for stopping by. I hope you enjoy the rest of my content!!!!
st helen’s is probably in my top 10, i love basically everything about it and would call it an absolute banger. here comes the sun is my favorite both song and video wise
The airport terminal always gave me a weird vibe and I usually stay away from it, now that you've given me your theory it just freaks me out more, Ill continue to stay away from it
LOL. For real!! It’s definitely uncanny. Thanks for stopping by!! I hope you enjoy my other content :)
I like Bill but I haven't heard some of these songs before. Cool vid!
That’s awesome, Quinn!! I hope you really enjoyed watching :) I really appreciate your comment! If you’d like to, it would mean a ton to me if you considered sharing the video around!!!
@@FunkadelicPeach Sure! And I did enjoy the vid a lot!
@@FunkadelicPeach Also, it really nice to find a RUclips that actually cares about their fans and comments/talks with them. You just got a new sub 😁.
@@themadman8185 heck yeah, man!!! If you took the time out of your day to watch my video, the least I can do is say hi to you and thank you for it!!! I think it’s really fun to engage with people who share similar interests. I love it :)
Thanks for the sub. Appreciate it a lot!!
@@FunkadelicPeach The sub is mutually beneficial lol. You get views and stuff and whatever else happens. Idk, I'm not a RUclipsr lol. And I get good entertainment 😁
Super awesome video, I loved hearing about your passion for Bill’s music since it feels so similar to mine. I found it super interesting to hear which parts were special to you in each song and comparing them to my own; for example, Slow Down is a personal favorite of mine, and for some reason the part of that one that always gets me in a groove is the “my hat is bent” part, whereas you really loved the “bobblin’ down” part. And I’m so so happy you put “Fly Around” so high on the list, that one feels so special to me in a way that’s a little hard to describe. It’s just got those perfect vibes, you know? That’s a song that I can always revisit and it never grows old; I’m a huge fan of that ending too so I’m glad you pointed that part out. I really like “Money” as well and I probably would put it higher on my list than you did, but I also would probably put “School” in Eternal Banger so maybe that gives an idea of the kind of groove I love. And I’m glad you’ve been updating a comment with your thoughts on the latest songs, I think I’d probably rank 9 8 7 and at the corner store the exact same way you did.
Heidi!! Thank you so much for your comment and feedback!! I love seeing other huge fans watch my video all the way through and have feedback for me. It’s so so fun. It seems like we have a very similar taste in Bill and what we like about him! And yes, Fly Around is very special. I like it. Funnily enough, “Money” was added to my “2022 favorites” playlist shortly after making this video. It definitely grew on me. I like it a lot.

39:24 this made me imagine bill wurtz making a musical and now i’m distraught that this doesn’t exist
I KNOW RIGHT?!?! I hope he does, someday. I think it is most DEFINITELY in the realm of possibilities. Thanks for watching!! I Hope you enjoy the rest of my content :D
I really like
Me too!! Thanks so much for watching :) means a lot. Enjoy my other content!!
"song: i like" and "song: fell okay" are two youtube songs that I felt like you missed
great tier list!
Nice video. My only hot take (which might not be so hot to fans) is that Bill Wurtz is one of the all time greats. He's just got that special something that is so rare to see in an artist, it is an absolute joy to listen to his music
I found someone whose brain melts just as hard with every chord, riff and fill as mine.
Yesssssss 🙌. Thanks for watching!! I hope you enjoy the rest of my channel.
A few thoughts:
- "In California" and "We Could Just Get High" are two of my favorite pre-HOTEWIG Bill songs, especially the latter. The key changes are incredible, and the vocals are some of his most passionate to date, especially on the second and third choruses. It is bit corny I suppose, but it captures a specific mood and might be my most played on Spotify. "In California"... man, that fucking GROOVE. One of the best bass riffs ever written, period. Straight out of the 70s. The chorus has a crazy progression and the lyrics are simple but very effective to me. For me, these two are high Absolute Jams to low Eternal Bangers, but it's OK you feel differently for now :')
- Two other favorites of mine are "Got To Know What's Going On" and "I'm A Princess". The former is actually my favorite Bill Wurtz song, and honestly it's hard for me to express how much this song means to me. He made it in It's a song you relate to at 3 am when you aren't feeling so great about life and yourself. It tells you there is more. "I'm A Princess" is essentially the part 2 to this song. They have many peculiar similarities musically and lyrically that make them that much more melancholy and thought-provoking, and while Princess is more about Bill's troubled experiences with his own creative process rather than the general humanity-pondering of GTKWGO, they are two sides of the same coin in my book. Depressed Bill is really something special.
- On that note of "Depressed Bill", I will leave you with my favorite 2011 song of his: "Go To The Store". This is honestly one of the most harrowing songs I have heard: it is sheer emptiness, the abandonment of all ambition, sinking into a hole that seems impossible to escape from. Bill was not in a great state in 2011, as he was really struggling with finding the right process to best help him satisfy his goals. Much of his music this year has undertones of emptiness and, for lack of a better word, stuckness. He was trying very traditional song structures and feeling unsatisfied, but with this song, that whole concept is flipped on its head. It is his heaviest song and really something special.
- From his 2011 songs, two of my other favorites are "I Can Play" (recorded in 2014) and "All U Need is Love", which sounds totally unlike Bill and more like 80s European disco, FWIW.
- I really admire Bill's 2018-19 streak, but I can't help but feel that at least a few of his songs got a bit "samey" during this time, partly/mostly due to the time crunch involved. The chord progressions and melodies were bright and poppy, but this led them to get a bit repetitive and... well, Bill was obviously a bit lyrically fixated on "getting back home". Most of his songs during this time are not among my favorites ("Slow Down", "Hallelujah", maybe "BF w My Own Front Door" although it's better than I remembered), and I think he has improved markedly as of lately, including lyrically, which is an angle I always appreciate with Bill.
I can totally see what you mean about the 2018-19 streak being somewhat same-y. To me, it feels like he’s “in his element” more than things being samey. Good point on the “getting back home” lyrics though lol. The post hiatus songs are definitely the most interesting, to me. The pre-hotewig songs feel mostly silly/experimental, and they are hard for me to take seriously. Like some of them feel like Bill just thought “well I don’t have a whole song figured out but I have this one idea so I’m just gonna record it and put it out there”. We could just get high is definitely a great song and (I think) one of the first ones where he proved that he could actually be a “song writer” and not just someone who posts their melodies online. Definitely an important song for his career as a songwriter. “In California” is just not a favorite of mine. That guitar loop really gets to me and bugs me lol.
Thanks for all your feedback and comments!! I definitely need to check out more website specific stuff and pick out some of my favorites. Thanks for recommending a few. (I can play is good. I like it).
Thanks for watching!! I hope you enjoyed the video and consider subscribing and sharing it :) I really appreciate you!
For me, his 2011 songs are one of the best he’s ever made. Home, Stupid Song, and Bob Marley are too good.
The guy who dissects a few of his songs in a jazz oriented manner is Charles Cornell, I think he made a few vids on Bill. He also broke down history of the entire world, i guess
Yes!! So good. Big fan. Thanks for watching my video Devin!! I hope you enjoyed it and consider sharing it around :)
@@FunkadelicPeach i know he has broken down mount st. helens (my fave) and money but maybe charles has done more since i last checked
I did not intend to watch this all the way through but 48 minutes later here we are. I think New Canaan is my most hummed tune and would be higher for me, but I really enjoyed your analysis. You have one (1) new subscriber 👍
Loved the video. Very glad it showed up in my YT feed.
"Money" is an eternal banger for me (I guess I'm more of a Jazz head which is why) - What gets me every time are the polyrhythms in the last section, I still haven't worked out each of the rhythms that are going on. I probably also like it because it's one of his few Minor key tunes.
I agree they're not the best but I will Vibe and Jam along to "Hello sexy pants" and "The Ground Plane" for as long as I live!
Might Quit actually pulls at my heart strings a little. I used to get a little sad listening to it because of the thought that it was Bill's last video.(Do you remember the day we pretended to be every star in the sky?)
Don't you love it when Bill transcribes parts of his solos in the videos like in the Airport Terminal
DUDE! Yes!! That is awesome to hear. I love it. Thanks so much for the comments!!! it means so much to me. I love that this whole comment section has turned into a fan celebration of Bill Wurtz lol. Thanks so much! I hope you consider subscribing and checking out my other videos :)
I began writing this comment with the intention of listing my favourite or even a few favourites of Bill's songs, but I quickly realised that would result in a comment the length of a novel so I'll just say that yeah -- he's pretty good.
LOL. I totally get why you mean. Yeah. That’s what would happen for me, too ;)
Thanks so much for watching my video!! I hope you really enjoyed it and consider sharing this video with others, or liking/subscribing. It would mean a lot to me!! Thanks!! :)
I'd be OK with you turning into a bill wurtz fan channel.
But just jumping in at the beginning, if you don't rank Airplane Terminal as top tier, I'm gonna flip my desk.
Leo!!! Thanks man. And yes I can assure you that Airport Terminal is one of my personal favorites. And definitely the most unique and special of them all! I talk about a conspiracy theory I have about it, as well ;)
Thanks so much for watching. I hope you enjoyed it!! Consider sharing the video, if you wanna. :) thanks again.
@@FunkadelicPeach STILL WATCHING. no spoilers dude. I GOTTA LISTEN TO THE WHOLE SONGS AS YOU MENTION THEM, SO THIS IS GONNA BE LIKE A 4 HOUR ADVENTURE.
@@LeoStaley YES!!! I was hoping someone would be able to experience it like this!!! Such a fun time. Enjoy it!! Tell me your favorites, at the end!
I got a doctor's appointment now, so I'm just gonna have to come back after.
Awe I can't believe you didn't have his song 'I Can Play'!! I don't think it's on Spotify, but it's on RUclips! I'd love to see a live reaction if you haven't heard it!
I Can Play has a great upbeat vibe that makes me bop my head. It’s great!!
Thanks for watching my video!! I hope you really enjoyed it and consider sharing it, if you’d like :)
And the day goes on will forever be number 1 - aside from that good list.
But the emphasis could be a bit towards the "texts" as well imo.
that one melody in I’m a Princess makes me want to do a simple animation loop along to the music
"a slight groove" lmao i like that can't wait to see the ranking
Thanks so much!! I hope you enjoy the video and enjoy the rest of my channel :)
I think the terminal is life, as he talks about being born and dying as well as planes coming and going. Leaving the terminal or getting on your flight is dying
Exactly!!! Exactly my thoughts. Thanks for stopping by and commenting! I hope you enjoy my other content and consider subscribing :)
Just wanted to say you have good taste and done us a service by cataloguing this material which is obscure, I just discovered this guys work its mind blowing... It raises so many questions, why has he chosen to use his immense talent this seeming obscure way, how much more is there to him and his story, where did he study music etc... So many "whys" and "how's" how much more is there to discover.... People who are gifted and unusual "total anomalies" are themselves a continually unravelling discovery
Thanks so much, back2bass!!! Yes. This artist is definitely unique, obscure, and enormously talented. He’s great. Thanks so much for the comment and for checking out this video!!! I hope you enjoy the rest of my channel and consider subbing :) it means a lot to me!
Fly around at the highest tier
based
I got to know the work of Bill Wurtz with "Here comes the sun"... Mind blown immediately... Binged out the rest of his songs immediately... Never turning back.
YES! for real. I listened to Here Comes The Sun about 50 times when it first came out. Back to back to back. I didnt know a single song could be so interesting!! Thanks for stopping by :))) I hope you enjoy the rest of my content and consider subscribing!!! :D
Fly Around is amazing, and it got me to put Bill Wurtz songs on my spotify playlists. Before I only watched the youtube videos since the history of the entire world I guess up until now
Nice!!! Yeah- fly around is something special, for sure. Thanks so much for watching my video, Matt!! I hope you really enjoyed it and consider sharing it around :) that would mean a ton to me!!!
Fun fact: The chord progression for "And the Day Goes On" was revealed to be a Folk progression in a reality video.
Can't believe you did I'm a Princess so dirty :,( that has to be the song I've listened to the most DAMN its good
It is reaaaaally good. I love that interlude/melody/chorus thing. Thanks so much for watching!!! I hope you really enjoyed the video and consider sharing it, if you can :) that would mean a lot.
@@FunkadelicPeach I did enjoy it! Watched all the way through. You have a much more thorough knowledge of wurtz's discography so i enjoyed discovering some ones I hadnt heard. I added Hello Sexy Pants to my "dream wedding playlist" lol. Love the vibes,
@@itarfer lol!! That is awesome. I’m getting married in a few months. Maybe I’ll suggest that one to my fiancé ;)
(Jk of course lol)
@@FunkadelicPeach itll be a dance song for after the ceremony. i just like the vibes, man! And my partner is a sexy pants!
@@FunkadelicPeach also congrats!
thx 4 putting hallelujah in top tier
Yessir!! You know it!! It’s a great song. I love the pre chorus, most of all. Thanks for watching!! I hope you really enjoyed the video and share it with other Bill Wurtz fans!! :)
You're talking about Charles Cornell, the person who dissected Mt. Saint Helens. And yes it's a great video!
Yes that’s the one!!! Thanks so much for watching my video. I hope you consider sharing it and subscribing! :)
If it'll help the algorithm...my eldest (18) turned out to be a music man, and he turned me on to the Wurtzverse. Fuckdiculously amazing. "Money" is my knee-jerk favorite. 9 8 7 seems destined for lasting appreciation, too.
I homeschooled the squids when they were younger (entertainment industry, night shift, English degree just sitting there accumulating interest of the wrong kind, etc), and I took their cultural education seriously. Tried to expose them to a broad range of genres and time periods, tried to provide some context for what made each work worth knowing, basically fire-hosed them with all that I knew, enhanced with additional research. Now they've totally blown past the need for a tour guide, and I get to chill in the side car with my scarf and goggles, absorbing the Zoomer landscape. 😎
I love this comment so much. Very rad. I’m really glad you checked out the video and enjoy Bill Wurtz’s wacky fun music!!! Very cool stuff. Thanks for sharing. I hope you enjoy the rest of my content! :)
this is an incredibly hard video to make, not just because bill is a fantastic musician, but also because bill releases banger after banger. how can anyone make a follow up video if he keeps making eternal bangers?
I KNOW RIGHT!??! Thats the problem!! lol. Thanks so much for watching :) I hope you consider subscribing and checking out my most recent video!! It would mean a lot to me :)
Awesome video! I missed some website-exclusive songs tho, such as Guess I've got to listen to Bob Marley (Bill doesn't like it but idc, I love it, specially the last part). Still, great great video.
And man, I loved how you sang along every song, because it was like watching myself going crazy every evening when no one is watching me haha
Thank you so much Alejandro!! I really really appreciate it. And yeah - I definitely should’ve just made more/included more website/RUclips songs. Those are all really good!! I want to go back and relisten to them later today :)
I hope you enjoy the rest of my channel!! Consider sharing this video, if you’d like :) that would mean a ton to me.

Very good except for the front door slander
Thanks so much for watching!!!! I really really appreciate it. I hope you enjoy the rest of my content!! :)
Out of all the songs, i just have to say that there is no contest for my favorite.
By far, by a landslide, without a single doubt, More than a dream is one that I can’t stop listening to. you talked a lot about poppy versus interesting, and how you really have to pay attention to more than a dream. That may apply to others, but as a person who hyperfocuses on things that I like, paying attention to this song is the only thing I do while listening to it. it would honestly be my favorite song ever, if it weren’t for penelope scott and the postal service.
Not to mention, I can tell this is the exact point where he got a hang of 3D animation. The whole music video is smooth, simplistic, and minimalistic, while also having enough details to keep my eyes busy for a long while
In short: it’s simple and clean, but it also provides endless intrigue. It’s easy to get lost in.
Totally agree. More than a dream is certainly one of the most “interesting” and “engaging” songs he has ever made. I love it!! It’s grown on me a TON since I’ve first heard it.
I hope you really enjoyed my video and consider sharing it!!! That would mean the absolute world to me :) Thanks again for your comment and have a great day!!!
@@FunkadelicPeach Here’s something funny: recently, after listening to a lot of bill wurtz songs over again, More Than a Dream got dethroned, not once, not twice, but three times, by Just Did a Bad Thing, The Day Goes On, and At the Corner Store. My favorite bill wurtz song is currently the third one of those three, but tbh this could change at any time because my preferences, likes, etc are constantly changing
My top two are Outside and Mt. St. Helens. So, different tastes I guess. But generally love anything Wurtzian.
Love it. Thanks for watching :)
So good! My personal favourites are:
fly around, all time favourite, kept replaying the outro and the heavenly sounding segment with the lyrics, "So I'm holding onto the details / Capture this moment..."
more than a dream, its just so good, especially because of the "Dreams make sense / And all the best dreams will be dreamed again.." part
second all time favourite, i'm scared, reminds me of one of those underground mario platform levels "help me understand help me formulate a plan" was a jam, and the little instrumental bit just before and including he 2 verses starting "I'm not scared / I'm just a little bit concerned and overwhelmed about something", super catchy like an earworm
here comes the sun an absolute banger, I overplayed it so much when it came out that I'm not impressed by it anymore, hoping a listening break will allow me to enjoy it again, but I remember the feeling of glee I had
and i wanna be a movie star because I can't get over the bassline and the "And I know your probably wondering who you are" and the outro with the "I'm gonna be a movie star" was so pretty
Great picks!!! ALL of the post hiatus stuff has been incredible, honestly. And cool pick with Movie Star!! Did you know it's in 9/4 time signature? Crazy! Thanks for stopping by and checking out this video. I hope you really enjoyed it and consider subscribing and sharing the video! :)
@@FunkadelicPeach I had no clue, thanks for informing me :) will definitely sub!
At the corner store is truly an eternal banger (life changing) Bill's best song of all time. Possibly THE best song of all time.
Totally. I think it’s one of his best, yet!!! It’s great!! Thanks for watching my video Zamboni! I hope you enjoyed it and consider sharing it around :)
@@FunkadelicPeach My parents heard it. Unfortunately they did not have the same sentiment I have about the song.
@@pickletickle8407 lol. I’ve been there. Showing bill Wurtz to someone is pretty hit or miss, I feel like.
@@FunkadelicPeach I didn't shoe it to them (or at least I didn't mean to) they just happened to hear the song because my volume was too high. My headphones were in but it sounded like a speaker

What’s your favorite Bill Wurtz song??
Just did a bad thing was one of the first videos I saw from him, so I’d have to say that. I’m scared and long long long journey are high up though.
@@johnf.kennedy3175 that’s awesome. I love all of those, too :)
I came across Bill Wurtz through his history vids. I love how everyone has a different story for how they found his stuff.
Nice!!! That is awesome. My introduction to him was back with the Vine videos, super long time ago. Fun stuff. Thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoy the content on this channel :)
great video! feel like youve missed some songs, though (like you're free to do whatever you want to and i'm a diamond). also, you infrequently told us when you skipped, when sometimes it was much less obvious you skipped it, yet still no disclaimer, an example being how you cut "i'm confused". you make it seem like it's the same length as i'm stuck in a rut.
Yes I definitely made some on-beat cuts that were not obvious unless you knew the songs, for sure. Thank you for the feedback!! Definitely trying to edit better for future tier lists. Check out my most recent one and let me know what you think!!! Thanks for the comment and support, Bromine!!! :)
I think you also missed "the road" (it's here on RUclips). Never my favorite, but thought I should mention it.
I did, yeah. There were a bunch of website/RUclips ones that I skipped because otherwise the video would be over an hour lol.
I hope you enjoyed the vid!! Please consider sharing it, if you can. That would mean a lot to me!! :)
I would rank In California in a slight groove bcuz of how catchy it is for me
Just did a bad thing and Might quit will probably always be my favorites. I used to like best friends with my own front door the most just because nostalgia but all of his songs ae so amazing in their own way. It's so weird to call him one of my favorite artists ever because he's so unique but i really like seeing that there's a lot of people who agree
Totally feel the same way!! It’s weird to say he is my favorite artist, too. But it’s probably true!!
I hope you enjoyed the video and consider checking out a few of my other videos!!
Just did a bad thing is my favorite. Glad to see it made it to #2 :)

Wurtz slaps, I just wish I knew if the lyrics are truly nonsensical or if there are some wild, next-level meanings behind most of them.

post HOTEWIG bill is just DIFFERENT
For real!!! Great tunes.
Shame you didn't do more interpretation.
I know Bill's abstract lyricism can sometimes be hard to pin anything under. But I wanted for you to share some more of your theories other than just "at the airport terminal".
At least some of the more straight-forward songs. (as straight-forward as you can get with Bill)
Totally. I have a few more theories that are more than just surface level (for example, “slow down” being about being on drugs and interpreting the world differently) but I think some of them are pretty far fetched.
Thanks so much for watching and for the feedback!!! I appreciate that more than you might think. If you want, it would help me out a lot if you liked and shared the video!! :)
