bill's songwriting is so fun because it's the healthy middle between a complete stream of consciousness and a bunch of intricated metaphors about god-knows-what
Also, very restrained virtuosity.
intricated
This is exactly the feeling I get from his lyrics. His writing style is just crazy enough to be unique and unpredictable while keeping the message or story pretty much intact.(The Airport Terminal is a great exemple for this point)
Although I'm far from an expert on music theory, I feel the same way on the composition. It's crazy how his music can sound and feel so good while being so unconventional. I love it!
I laughed really hard at this cause as soon as I finished reading it he says I'm greedy
The PERFECT way to put it, thank you
"at the end of the trail there's another trail that's longer and goes around 20 more times" is such a lifechanging lyric
@Don't Read My Profile Photo L spam bot
"these are one way stairs" changed my world view tbh
@@joshplaysdrums2143 fr those one way stairs gave me a whole new perspective on life
@@Clovxrr 1:05
1:24 to 1:28 the smoothest piece of a song ive ever heard
I love how Bill’s style refuses to bend to trends. His videos are timeless. If I didn’t check the details, i’d have no idea if this video was 10 days or 10 years old. Love it.
It's things like this that never truly die, because they never base around trends, rather they stick true to the style of a creator.
its likely A.I. from a distant future, seeking perfection
or from the 80s...
Breaking news new song go listen
@@TheSpookyDuke What are you talking about. The 80s ARE 10 years ago. Right?
... Right?
Bill Wurtz animations are very accommodating. Each video presents the subtitles as part of the content so that folks who hate subtitles don't have to admit that they really need them this time.
Less accommodating and more just augmenting. Reading the important words while you hear them connects audio and visual significantly. Seems Bill is the first to think of connecting a music video and a lyric video to create one thing. Everyone thinks they have to be separate but words are visual all the same
Bill’s finally reached the point where he’s ready to brag about how we’ll “never catch him.” I mean, if he’s living as far ahead as September what chance will we ever have?
@Don't Read My Profile Photo shut up
we never had a chance to begin with
Well, our chances aren't so bad, they're zero. Still more than the chance of me ever getting a girlfriend.
We don't have September. Men, we must end the world before September.
Excuse me, it's William, only friends call him Bill.
I'm joking of course. I am not a friend of Bill.
"I'm greedy so I'll make more than my fair share of bad choices" is quite a relatable line
Me in every roguelike
Don't read my comment !!!!
I defiantly make more then my fair share of bad choices... not bad enough just yet, but just bad enough to know this
The unexpected chord changes are what really do it for me with his music. Like at 1:13. Even he was like "whoa" with that one (there's a matching one at 2:25). Or like that one at 1:30. And then 2:42? Totally out of left field. I'm surprised this kind of stuff doesn't get talked about in the comment sections very much. It's what makes these compositions so interesting, since he intersperses them in between the feel-good, standard pop cadences.
If you want some enthusiastic music theory deconstruction of Bill's songs, check out Charles Cornell :)
Yeah, it’s jazz. That’s how jazz works.
@@ferretyluv I'm aware. I play jazz. That's why I like this music. He clearly is familiar with jazz based on how he writes it.
exactly why i absolutely love his music, and why i do music
Locals can't recognise some good Jazz, but at least they still appreciate it by loving his music. We should bring more a Jacob Collier fans here; they will readily fill the comment section with the appropriate and relevant music theory
1:05 Bill Wurtz when he sees a kid's drawing:
"At the end of the trail there's another trail that is longer and goes around 20 more times"
He’s still making content like it’s 2012 and I’m absolutely here for it.
Yes.
@Don't Read My Profile Photo ok.
@Don't Read My Profile Photo k, I won't
@Don't Read My Profile Photo shut up
@Don't Read My Profile Photo no
I’m really loving this season of multiple Bill Wurtz releases per month. It feels like instead of always following perfectionism to its extremes, he’s giving himself more freedom to just do creative things and enjoy that process.
Yeah, he's really found his footing. When he tried doing a weekly schedule it was too much for him, but the triweekly schedule seems like it's really working.
I’d like to think before he liked the perfectionism, if that’s what it was at all. Maybe he’s just accelerated productivity.
and he's in a lot of it too, which I always enjoy.
1:30 that modulation back to E major was bliss, I think overall this is one of my favourite Bill Wurtz songs yet
Did you sit on your piano for a few minutes to figure that out
It's September Bill, should I still meet you?
The fact that both times he's greedy he's being greedy about conventionally "bad" things is mind melting in the absolute best way. I really really like this
pulitzer prize worthy lyricism all around tbh
@@kingarthur4088 It occurs to me that anyone with $75 for the entry fee could submit his work for consideration for a Pulitzer. I honestly think he stands a good chance of being at least nominated as a finalist for a few of these.
Bill is excellent at writing about bad things.
its hard to do bad things because you want to do good things and whats right
accepting to do bad things is a greedy taking of freedom that doesnt seem earned
but it doesnt seem to negatively impact anything
maybe bad choices are necessary choices
...or i guess thats what its supposed to mean
@@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721 i did a bad thing. And youll wonder what it is. I tell you what i did. I did a bad thing.
It's an honorable thing that Bill doesn't monetize any of his videos, but I feel like he deserves it. He'd have probably made a million or two, maybe more on his content by now and he's most definitely earned it.
It is nice to see that he has a patreon, as well as merch and a Paypal dono link now.
I stand corrected, thanks @V3rb for the post. I went and checked the Bill Wurtz subreddit and he started monetizing his videos 4 years ago because RUclips wasn't putting his videos on the front page, even when he was #2 trending(because they weren't monetized).
Why doesn’t he monetize?
@@user-tt1zq7ws2e because he thinks ads take away from the experience. he's said it before in a podcast, he wouldn't watch it if it had a ton of ads on it so he doesn't think other people would watch it either.
@@user-tt1zq7ws2e he hates ads, really hates em and doesn't want anyone else to be subjected to em
But how can you know this? I have a RUclips channel where I upload my own music and do not monetize it and there are still ads on these videos without me doing anything!
@@eswarjuri He's said it before on a podcast as well as on his website.
This might be like the “I might Quit” shenanigans and that’s perfectly fine. Obviously will miss him but with all this content and music he’s put out, it’s fair that he should have a break.
Hopefully see you in September, or earlier, whatever’s closest. ❤️
Earlier is definitely closest.
@@andrewhorton95 “whatever’s closest” is mentioned to when he will be back, not what comes before September. Lol I don’t know when he will be back. But if he isn’t until September then he deserves a nice break. He’s earned it.
@@BRboi777 :P
To anyone reading this, he's still active on his questions page and did say that this song wasn't announcing any projects or a hiatus. He also said that in this song September is a place, not a month, which I found interesting.
@@colevilleproductions that’s very interesting.
1:51 This part really touched my heart. Thanks man
IT HAS SO MANY MELODIES. The written section was so cool. I loved every second. Its different- but it kept the same Bill Wurtz style! I tried to add it on spotify but its not there yet!
EPIC PROFILE PICTURE.
it released on Spotify 2 hours before it did on RUclips
The written section was the coolest thing!
I believe the song is on spotify now
Stop using Spotify.
bills content reminds me of the early 2000s internet and I am 100% down for it
It’s more like early 2010s but ok
It is more like 2010s
It's more like the time doesn't matter the feeling of joy that you get while watching it is what matters.
While dressing like he’s with Rick Astley
this screams 1998 nature documentary watched on a 27" CRT in science class. by far his best work, strikes such an unusually unstruck chord with me and I adore it incredibly so.
This is no joke one of the greatest RUclips videos I have ever watched. Better than 99% of music out there
Bro is the quirkiest muscician I've ever seen. Every song he makes and puts together is just a jumble of random thoughts out together and he makes it work somehow (Thank you all for the 5th most popular comment, I really appreciate it ❤️)
Along the best with Jack Stauber when it comes to indie
It's like a magic spell of positivity and good things. It's good magic 😌✨
yeah just when the song starts to make sense it changes
@@firinne You're right. It's like hes putting you under a trance
So like less edgy nirvana
Bill Wurtz's music always feels like wandering around the furniture and appliances section of a mall as a kid
Very good analogy.
What
I just realized 0:38 to 0:45 is a piano with images as keys and it's playing the song itself... I LOVE IT
My husband and I were married in September lol I like this. Your music is exactly how my brain works. I'm constantly singing random things like this.
My brain also works like that. i have adhd and my brain doesn’t make sense, but at the same time i’m very intelligent. no one knows how it works
My bday is in September
@@waddledee6642 Same
As someone whose anxiety usually skyrockets in the summer, I feel this song deeply
1:07 I feel like Bill’s songwriting is amazing because it can be a funny stream of conscience and then change into some lyrics that have a deeper meaning when you think about them more.
That's got me thinking - Bill's music (both in terms of sound and lyrics) is basically several variations on Once in a Lifetime by Talking Heads
What is the deeper meaning in the trail lyric? Lmao
@@et4313 Where did you get that from? That’s not the only thing that ends and then gets more complicated. Ski slopes usually have an easy beginning and a harder, more complicated ending, lmao. Also, your career isn’t 20 times longer than your school years, so where is this coming from?
@@joshuadorsam4619 Not every metaphor has to be perfect. However you interpret writing is perfectly valid, as long as it means something to you. The creator's intentions don't dictate the way you view an artwork. It exists for your enjoyment, not for theirs.
@@joshuadorsam4619 he's way more explicit with his messaging in his earlier works
this month I'm doing a challenge called "September" in which I have to go through every day of September
Well that sucks
I will never forget that when this song dropped, I was halfway through a story about my character at the time going to rehab in September (in the future). It felt surreal, consciously registering the lyrics, and everything seemed to perfectly (albeit vaguely) fit the narrative of my own story. But then again, that's the beauty of Bill's music in general, no? The unique sense we all make out of it. I am so very glad to have discovered him all those years back, to be a part of this creative journey still, even as just a spectator.
I will always follow what Bill says.
Agreed. Same.
@Don't Read My Profile Photo ok.
Same
25 likes in 12 seconds 💀
@Don't Read My Profile Photo if it is a rickroll I’m killing myself
The mix of his old editing style plus the new visuals is insane thanks bill
yeaah it reminds me of got some money
I was so glad to see that once 3d aspects were added the editing didn't change entirely
"im greedy so ill make my fair share of bad choices"
inspirational words 😔
it feels so ai generated, yet at the same time feels like it has so much soul, passion, and heart poured into it. really outdid yourself this time.
Further proof that humans can do anything AI can do tbh. AI generated art is a plague that hurts artists :(
AI before AI was cool
This guy should put together a live show, it would be cool to see what someone this creative could come up with, some crazy multi-media experience no doubt 👌
i think on his questions page he mightve said something about it.
Yeah would be cool to see him in front of a big LED wall and a bunch of looping with instruments all around
Ya, I wanna say that's the plan at some point
According to his interview with h3h3, he's planning to plan it soon.
That was 4 years ago.
The harmony in this one is wild. It’s cool to see him innovate his own style of music while still keeping a large audience
You're thinking about it wrong
Bill Wurtz's music never fails to help me Chill Out. My parents used to put on James Taylor during road trips and Bill's voice/sound are reminiscent of that time in my life. Thanks so much for making art!!
This song was actually part of my motivation to make September one of the better months I've had this year, and so far that's happening. Hoping even better for December, so thanks for this 🙏🏽
I feel like, a few years from now, Bill's going to reveal that all of these songs were actually part of an elaborate ARG that nobody figured out even the first step of.
Beautiful music as always, Bill! I'mma groove to the end of time with these.
I used to think that the music and videos were all an elaborate treasure hunt but if it is, it's way above my ability to decipher
just wait patiently and think carefully and you might just figure out what the darn thing is
While i by no means can begin to say what all of his videos mean, I think I got vague themes from some of them that tell a story.
I believe he made 'at the airport terminal' waiting for a flight. Got some money is about how he became monetized. I did a bad thing makes me think he was reflecting on something he felt guilty on, or he had an accident. There's one that makes it clear he went to school for 3d modeling.
@@rr12003 listen to some of his older songs
@@rr12003 I wonder what the greedy bad things he's been doing are?
if i had a nickel for every time an absolute banger song revolving around september was created, i would have... well... you know the rest by now
You'd have 3 nickels
@@gajbooks at least three anyways. There might be more.
3 shiny nickels so far
What’s the third?
Wake me up when september ends, september and this song
“Dont wanna leave except I’m already gone” damn
"Go back down stairs, the stairs only go upstairs, these are one way stairs"
That has to be one my favourite pieces of absurdist writing
Me, about anything life-related: 2:12
so true
god bill you are utterly relentless
your music is a huge inspiration
i know you once said you don't really care for the idea of "artists" and gravitate towards individual songs
but you are one of my favourite songwriters atm. incredibly distinctive and actually good music and your video production is also incredible. can only imagine what your workflow is like when producing this stuff, and how you learnt those skills.
"Don't wanna leave, except im already gone"
Hit hard
If he doesn't show up in 15 minutes, I think we're allowed to leave
legally
this song came out just in time for the worst summer depression I dealt with in ages. Thank you Bill, hopefully things do get better in september
now that it's september i hope you're doing better
@@teuast thanks for the reply :D I kinda am in some aspects I'd say, not the best but Okay. I think. Better!!!
@@xoderota I’m glad to hear that. Take care of yourself, and I hope you have people you can count on to support you :)
I always enjoy reading the comments under a new Bill Wurtz video. It´s like a perfect world. Everybody is happy and positiv - we all have the same opinion and crave the same stuff. It´s weirdly giving me a feeling of security and hope for the future.
So thanks, Bill Wurtz, for making people in this world behave this way. You´re a real wizard, i hope the universe will bless you!
_and then we have the spammers which are gone after a while but they frustrate me every time_
A Bill Wurtz future
Preach brother! I couldn't agree more!
I love this community ☺️
yes he is a wizordr,? from memphis mabye
Bills music blurs the line between what’s either something heavily saturated with deep metaphors to an attempt by a computer to simulate a song with surface level lyrics and I love it.
“Meet me in September, when things get better”
People from 2001: *press x to doubt*
I love how he has to move his microphone at 0:05 because its behind the wires!
Just want to appreciate the subtle but impactful syncopation at 0:18 - 0:20, I feel like that's kind of signature to this gentleman. Love it.
How did it take me this long to find this channel?! I've been here in a trance for the past 3 hours just watching random videos and marveling at the music production, absolute brilliance all around!
The syncopation on "Yes, no I'm not ready" is so fucking good. The confidence to accent the 'e' of 4! Huge movement.
2:40 as someone whose name is chance this was very weird to see
0:28 *b o n g*
you'll never catch me
this whole scenario is extraordinary.
(fip-pip-a-dip-bip)
meet me In September
I still remember
I love the sheet music at the end and the fact that it’s actually correct. Yayyyyyy
It's September and here we are!
funniest thing about this song is that I once saw bill wurtz a few years ago...in september
i had to look through chat logs to make sure my panicked "oh my god I saw bill" was actually in a september
where?? spill the deets lol! Bill is like a mythological creature, he's only seen once every 10 years
the timing of that is simply perfect
Were you in Denver, taking the 25 down to Albuquerque and Durango?
1:51 Nice Rhymes
Listening to this at the start of October, true edge right here
I've just been listening on repeat for days. Your songs and lyrics mean so much to me, they always come out at the right time
the music notes matching up is the coolest thing, he puts a lot of detail even into smaller songs
I’m reporting you for spam
After searching up what "voluminous" means, I'm happy to say it makes perfect sense and is quite possibly the best obscure-word rhyme I've ever heard in a song.
second only to "bornana"
EDIT: WHY IS MY ILLITERACY CAUSING A GODDAMN DEBATE GUYS I'M SORRY THAT I CHECKED A WORD'S DEFINITION USING A TOOL SPECIFICALLY BUILT TO HELP WITH SUCH CONUNDRUMS MY GOD YOU PEOPLE ARE WEIRD
Edit 2: wait till you guys learn idk what bona fide means
ehm, isnt that just a normal word? why did you have to look that up
@@mYOwngUn because i'm dumb idk man no need to flex
ah, but can bill wurtz make orange rhyme with voluminous?
@@mYOwngUn Quite verisimilitudinous.
I'm not going to look it up but I assume it means something with volume?
right at the start when he untangles the mic from the headphones was so funny
Just mind bending how creative and stylish your music is every single time. You push me as a musician and as a composer and you give me someone to look up to. What incredible genius with such timeless content. Like at around 0:17 you stopped the music on the "e" of 4 and jumped right back in on the "e" of 1 in the next measure and just continued the groove like nothing happened. Also only adding two accents to imply that your accenting the 1 when your really accenting the "and" of one and giving the groove half a beat of space to catch the rhythm again is just so beautifully thought out and inspiring. Honestly I was sure there was an odd time and I took just a few minutes sitting here repeating it over and over to find it just to realize it was an odd placement. Your spacing, timing, and feel for the song are simply immaculate. I wish I could be half as creative ad you and I really love your stuff Bill. Never stop being you please! :)
I am 100% convinced these are all ad libbed and the music is added afterwords, it's the only way I can comprehend the direction these songs always take hahaha. Love every single one hahaha
he kinda says that in his q/a on his page
Bill always makes the weirdest and most random videos/songs. But they’re always a joy to watch regardless.
That’s exactly the charm of his videos.
I feel like they are random but somehow they have a story and sometimes we can relate to them
His lyrics is like he's doing something and he just starts freestyling any random thought that just comes
they're a series of abstract concepts
Its been 8 months and i havent gotten tired of this song, probably his best in my own opinion
The chord progression at 2:24 is just insane...
The insane chord at 2:24 is just progression...
The 2:24 at progression is just chord...
The progression 2:24 at chord is just insane...
"if it don't get better until december you can leave me there"
goddamn idk why that hits
"at the end of the trail there's another trail that's longer and goes around 20 more times" and then "at the end of the trail there's a better trail that's a little more expensive" are some of my favourite lines in anything ever.
As someone who is living in September, can confirm this is accurate.
There’s too many reasons to say, but I really like this one, probably my favorite of his newer ones
From the invention of the word “heigh” as a running gag from “weigh” instead of “way” to being greedy about having a lot of bad things, it’s just nice, and the tune is as chill as ever
We also still have all those fun Bill animation quirks, a lot of his face in this one compared to most others, so that’s pretty cool, I would say
It’s just fun seeing him mess with special effects and continue to make awesome weird lyrics, love ya man
Every time he adds a new video, it makes me want to go back watch the entire catalogue.
Finally, Wake Me Up When September Ends: The Sequel.
This man’s music genuinely makes the world hurt a bit less
This in my opinion is a new stand out song from him. Just had a lot of melodic moments I liked.
lyrically and melodically it's so good definitely one of my favorites
@@kingarthur4088 Especially that little ditty at the end, ah so good.
Love your music man. Thank you for doing what you do.
I love the occasional addition of sheet music by the way.
2:14 gotta say, I've still not gotten bored of the checkerboard wave nonsense effect in the background that starts here.
Don't get me wrong, the music is banging, and the lyrics are cool, but the VFX on this stuff is a really nice portion of the Bill Wurtz pie.
"The stairs only go one way, these are one-way stairs"
Idk what it is about repetitive, self explanatory simplistic sentences like this but they absolutely devastate me 🤣
he probably has the most unique sounding music I’ve ever heard
i've been loving these more frequent uploads recently
welcome to september enjoy ur stay
I love the font on the rests at 3:05, ngl
1:28 a slide?
This hits diferent in september
Only the goat could rhyme "Two of us" and "Voluminous"
I'm glad to see this guy is back even if it is every once in awhile
Agreed I love bill
Patience, he has to record and edit all of his videos himself and still manages to get one out about every two weeks
he's on a 3 week schedule
Songs take time to write, and videos take time to film and edit. Frankly, I'm surprised he puts out as many songs as he does
@Don't Read My Profile Photo allright i won't do this
0:54 - ......Wow....that's weird cause I'm gonna be going there for the first time this weekend
I'm here for the meeting in september
Me: Finished the song
Also me: Puts two dots on that stop bar. (if you know, you know)
Everyday bill uploads it adds a year to my life.
If September's not good you can always just wake me up when September ends
I was looking for this comment!!
Be sure to mark the date, so you remember the 21st night of September.
@@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721 Have Tom Cardy and Bill Wurtz done a collab yet? I feel like their styles are polar opposites yet engaging in the same way--it'd be wild to see what happens!
underviewed
Whoa he actually met us in September!
You know what I like about his lyrics? They don't always rhyme. You'd think it would feel uncomfortable or awkward for song lyrics to not rhyme - because 90% of the lyrics we usually listen to have rhymes - but Bill Wurtz demonstrates that not rhyming can be fittingly jazzy and cool.
His songs still rhyme actually, like the "if it all goes wrong, move along, sing me a strong song" part, there's 4 whole words in there! It's just that at random moments it unexpectedly un-rhymes which surprise your ears, and in some cases not rhyming fits even better because it's all a big shitpost lol
It's September! Hey Bill 👋🏻😋
“Do it” This meme has truly evolved
that little replay bar at the end slowly animating upwards is fantastic
"Bill is a wise man, one must always look up to him and his great wisdom."
