I love how the comment section is full of little love letters, nothing romantic really just genuine, wholehearted, appreciation for you and what you do. This may not hold meaning to you, but I’m fully honest when I say that your music, even the covers of other songs, and you as a person has been beneficial to myself and I’d imagine many others in so many ways. I’m glad to be alive and experience you and your music, and thank you for being here to experience life with us as well.
it's getting late i should go to bed and i never felt any existential dread i can't spend today in my bed there's no one at home and no texts to be read i hope at the end of your set all of my friends stay and no one's upset i hope we all dance and we all break a sweat and i find a working outlet i've heard what yer thinking of and it tears me to pieces is it yer mom you were thinking of a whole army, small but not giving in i'm feeling safer than i knew i could be with yer arms dragging me into the sea i'm feeling safer than i knew i could be with yer arms dragging me into the sea it's getting late i should go to bed it's getting late i should go to bed it's getting late i should go to bed. ALSO thank you wilbur very cool
Hello Mr. Soot, I'd just like to say you have a beautiful singing voice and your content makes me smile when I watch it. Thanks for the laughs and the music to listen to.
i know it’s been nine months, but i only found this about a month ago. i haven’t stopped listening since. maybe it’s the way you play, or the emotion in your voice, or the faint bird chirping you can hear at one point, but something about this video combined with your singing is absolutely mesmerizing. i’m completely enamored by the way you play so freely, and the genuine smile you wear. you actually inspired me to play guitar, and i’ve been having a go at it for about two months now. i’ve made progress, but i hope one day to play with the same revere for music that you do. it’s very very unlikely that you’ll see this, but of the off chance that you do, thank you. you published this at the beginning of quarantine, and we are still here. i’m sure this has gotten people through it, and for others like me who found this late, it’s giving them a push towards the end of covid. this display of joy was refreshing to see, and something i think all of us needed. please keep playing. you’ve inspired many. or, yknow, don’t, if that’s what would make you happier. because you deserve to be happy. thank you, wilbur.
This was made around two years ago so hello to anyone who finds this buried under the comments. I have done nothing today but this made me feel very happy listening to this. I have followed Wilbur since the beginning of covid and he has helped me through dark times. He made me want to play the guitar and learn so many different things. I haven't played guitar in a while but this just made me smile. Goodbye stranger :]
@@mrflibble1259 the screen blanked, no editing, maybe just a software issue. He did not cut the footage or added anything so i wouldn’t say that’s really anything.
I came back to this video after all that has happened these past days and it makes me cry all the time but I will never forget who I went to when I cried and felt so alone in this harsh world it's hard to let go and I don't think I will so I will continue to support because I believe there is change.
As dramatic as it sounds, I found out my school was canceled for the rest of the year which is going to affect me greatly because my group of friends is what gives me that boost of motivation every day to keep pushing and so idk, watching stuff like this makes me feel like everything is okay for now and maybe this'll all be over soon. Update; still coming back to this video every day to feel something, and keep me busy. Thank you for the nice comments, they made me smile :^)
Try to find your motivation in other things as well, and stay in touch with your friends as much as possible!! (through Skype, your phones etc.) We all have to find a way through this, I hope you find yours ;)
Hey, you should keep going. Its gonna be alright. You can keep in contact with them through social media, and if you need to talk my Instagram is Saywecanfly06. I hope you have a great day. Ittl get better :)
sigh... this was a love comment i had written 3 years ago when i had first discovered your content. you got me through a very hard time, and i will be eternally greatful for that. but to say i am disappointed and shocked at the recent things that have come foward about you would be an understatemnt. i am deeply saddened. and i hope you can make ammends and better yourself while also being aware of the fact that you can never undo the harm you have caused. i hope that will ensure you will never do it again. but god, i feel sick.
It's one of those things which is so amazing when you're doing it, like, when I play guitar (not as good as him) and you feel really connected to the sound and let it emerse you, it's just the best feeling
true. Something about his music makes me want to listen, the way he plays is so aggressive but yet so beautiful. Also, I love his voice, calming and smooth. I don't know why, but his music just hits different
I don’t know what he does but he plays so different, he sings so different. Something about him is so mesmerizing and intriguing. He plays with emotion, he has talent. It’s hard to describe. He probably won’t see this because it’s been so long since he uploaded this but wow Wilbur just has this thing about him, that is so comforting in a way. The way he sings and produces music is just so special to me and it’s so hard to describe how happy it makes me feel. Thank you Wilbur, your music, you’re everything is just so special. To this day, with your city gave me asthma, and the maybe I was boring EP, and now your new Lovejoy band, it’s just so amazing. You’re music is amazing Wilbur
I've always loved his voice, but it's clear that he's made so much progress quality-wise since 'Romance Is Boring' and 'I'm a Familiar Creak In Your Floorboards'. Beautiful cover
for "Im a familiar creak in your floorboards" the original song also has a quaky tone because the original singer is really close to just breaking down and crying
I've always wanted an older brother, and this video just reminded me of how badly I wish that could happen. You just give off really strong caring older brother vibes, and I really really wish that I had that. I have to admit, I broke down when I heard this. The song itself didn't affect me, but your voice just really got to me. Thank you so much for this, Wilbur. I don't even know if I'm happy or sad right now, just... thank you.
I come here almost everyday and listen to your songs. I may can't come anymore in some days time because i am going to a psychward and no phones are allowed there. I will be back tho, i am fighting and i want to say to you that i am very grateful to have you as a wonderful person, streamer that i watch all the time and talented musician. Thank you for everything Wilbur
I’m so proud of you for pushing through I know you can do this, i hope your doing better and you are happy, I understand things are tough at times since im currently in one but I just want to let you know I care for you. If you ever need support im happy to give you my socials to contact me whenever you want. I love you and support you. Good luck
i cant help but notice that when wilbur pulls out the pick with a smile and plays, the clock in the back lights up, so i guess its confirmed wilbur's smile and guitar playing can light up a room :))
this has always been my favorite cover of yours. i lost my mom to an overdose when i was five, almost eleven years ago. something about this video, your video, has always connected deeply with me. your voice, the way you play, everything. it sounds dumb and weird but i always pictured it as if you were someone who actually knew me and was singing it just for me, like the line "was it your mom you were thinking of?" i come to this cover whenever i miss her, and it makes me feel as though someone sees me, actually sees me, and cares. you have a gift. thank you.
im late to this comment as well, but i have felt that too. my mom overdosed almost 5 years ago- 2 days before my birthday. it really just feels like a friend having some sort of conversation with you late at night
It's getting late I should go to bed I never felt any existential dread I can't spend today in my bed There's no one at home, no texts to be read I hope at the end of your set All my friends stay, no one's upset I hope we all dance, we all break a sweat I find a working outlet I've heard what you're thinking of And it tears me to pieces Is it your mom you were thinking of A whole army, small but not giving in I'm feeling safer than I knew I could be With your arms dragging me straight into the sea I'm feeling safer than I knew I could be With your arms dragging me straight into the sea It's getting late I should go to bed It's getting late I should go to bed It's getting late I should go to bed
im really late but he's said that he used to play for like 10 hours a day when he was going to bed at sunrise and waking up at sunset to work night shifts. thats what got him through it :')
@@nixinity3267 i think it was in this interview ruclips.net/video/aSgSHU-b_O4/видео.html and he said a little bit about it in the description of this cover ruclips.net/video/OGN8mxRvOiY/видео.html&ab_channel=WilburMusic
Anyone else crying? He’s improved so much and he deserves so much more recognition for how good he is :( I hope he’s doing okay with the virus and everything going on, and I can’t wait to see him improve more and more overtime 😭
It's been over a year yet I still come back to this - it just feels so timeless, so calm, so personal. It's like Wilbur is playing to YOU. It's that feeling after a good talk, having faith in the future, when you and that other person can just sit back and accept. Cheers to us and cheers to the future, we'll make it out of this!
It's so strange how you can care so much about someone you've never met that lives across the world. Your music is so particular to you and that's what makes it so amazing. Without fail your content proceeds to put me in an infinitely better mood, and for that, Mr. Soot, I thank you for.
I keep coming back to this video, it's currently 3:11 am and for the past 3 days I haven't slept more than 1 hour, I feel like I'm stuck and I don't know how to start doing something with my life. But this song always makes my brain shut down and relax ❤️🩹 *27/09/2023* Just lost my mother to aneurysm, I miss her so fucking much, I was about to turn 19 years old, and now she won't be able to be there when I do. Miss you Mom :((
hey ! its been a month since you've posted this it says, but i genuinely hope you're doing better and you get yourself some good sleep cos thats what u deserve, and thats what the ppl who care about you want for you hope ur doing well, and that ur happy, bcos u deserve absolutely no less babe this goes for everyone else who could read this too < 3
what is the most reachable thing in your life that would improve your life, that you are actually willing to start or stop doing? - go from there. dont fall into the circle of debating with yourself about things u should do and just do them without engaging in the inner dialogue. start small. like clean your space. but allow yourself to feel good about the things u did or accomplished today and remind yourself about them instead of beating yourself up about what u didnt do but know u should have. you dont need to have it all together. noone rly has. it is a process of growth, not a threshhold where once u pass and things just magicly fall into place. you dont need to represent anything in your life. not to your friends, your family, society or anybody else. and if you feel like you have to represent something to yourself at least, go back to step one - what is the most reachable thing that would improve your life, that you are also willing to stop or start doing? - and go from there.
hello wilbur. to be honest, i wasn't really gonna write anything cause it didn't affect 'me' much, but i see all of these comments and hey why not. also, this video's comment section has or had a very letter-esque vibe, so it felt appropriate i've always used your music as a coping mechanism for Techno's loss. Losing face, in particular. Why? i don't really know, to be honest. Actually, i do, but it's not really something i wanna talk about. anyways i kind of looked up to you because of that, and listened to all of your music. Lovejoy was the first band which i knew all of the songs of, which is crazy for me since i just listen to the things i wanna listen to, but im usually hesitant in trying other songs of an artist or band. it kinda sucks now that i cant tearfully sing to Losing face anymore without giving the lyrics another separate meaning, but i don't really care about it that much. i knew of you before Techno's passing, and hell i still consumed your content a lot back then, so im surprised as to why this doesn't bother me personally. but i found out yesterday and my day got ruined, and i felt terrible. honestly, screw that one guy who put me on this rabbit hole for finding out 'oh, what happened?" fuck him. I would've rather lived in ignorance. i don't know you. maybe you did get better after YCGMA, and stuff like that. but you evidently didn't. Or you did, but you pushed yourself in trying to get better and ended up in a vicious cycle. and i don't think you are going to get better at least at this current time and until the next year even? i kind of understand the meaning behind most of the songs in MSR now. and i do think you feel sorry or regret it at least. i'll still continue listening to your songs and all, cause it won't change a single thing if i don't. i hope you get better. for yourself, and for everyone you knew.
@@Tunedwastaken aw, thank you. im not totally okay but i think one day i will be. this comment made me pretty happy lol. i hope you are doing okay as well.
do keep in mind their relationship was atleast a year ago. so it'd be nice to think that he may have reflected and changed in that time. i mean, life can change people in much less time than that, it is true. I don't think that his apology necessarily shows like 100% lack of remorse or anything, just that he handled it the wrong way. It should be an apology to the actual person first and then a genuine explanation and apology to the fans. I'd be inclined to support him in that case, atleast.
Hi. I'm so sorry about how all this has happened to you, but the thing is, Wilbur is innocent. He isn't horrible. Shelby has shown no evidence of her abuse, and in all her pictures, she wears short clothing that a victim wouldn't do, but even if they would, they'd have bruises. Which she didn't. Not in the slightest. In most of wilburs pictures and especially ones with shelby, he had many bruises, and he would do his fake smile without putting his tongue below his teeth. He looks drained and tired, and he is going through depression and probably wants to kill himself, especially after all the hate. He did bite her, but he stated in his apology that from his many conversation with her, he had the understanding that they both thought it was consensual and done out of affection. He had slobbish and lazy behaviour and hadn't paid her compliments in a while BECAUSE of his mental health. It was around the time technoblade had passed and he had really bad depression. He struggled to get out of bed and struggled to clean, but shelby thought that was bad behaviour? She also stated in her recent stream that depression isn't an excuse and that you can never change or be given a second chance. She also accused her ex boyfriends in the past for abusive behaviour, and once it was proved wrong, she quickly deleted all evidence of it. The time she released all the news on wilbur was the 5ime when her merch store was going bankrupt and she wasn't earning much money. It was also the time when wilbur had gone on a mental health break. He was innocent. The only evidence she has is her word.
this hits too hard I really don’t know why but every time I hear it and the way his accent thickens with the “I heard what you’re thinking off” like he just went into my brain and saw my darkest thought. And when he plays the guitar after that little piece there’s a ringing behind it and I don’t know if that’s me but it adds so much more it makes me cry every time, there’s so emotion and the build on the guitar and then how it pulls back at the beginning
hey - i wrote this song - so sorry to hear about your loss, and glad something i wrote gave him some sort of joy, sending all the love we can! - jordan of apc
all of wilburs cover are so calming. edit: its so crazy to seee his growth, just three years later and hes going on tour, shits crazy man. edit: damn after hearing all of the shit that hes done... idek this is so crazy edit 2: nothing beats his covers, even if he has done bad things. please get help wilbur.
It isn't as good as meeting him in real life and telling him, but I'm pretty sure he still reads his noreply email. He said he usually reads them occasionally, so even though he doesn't reply you can be confident that he'll read it. So if you wanna you can try it. It's wilburnoreply@gmail(dot)com Email edited because the comments probably have antispam filters
Honestly, me too. Not a life-death situation but inspirational, motivational person. Like he is skilled and talented in what he does and he inspires me to do something like that as well. Even thou my entire life i was never interested in guitar, i want to learn guitar with my whole heart now due to him...
I find myself coming back to this cover a lot and I can't quite explain why. I feel that there is a sense of comfort in this song, and in how happy Wilbur seems to be while playing it. The song is so beautiful and I'm incredibly grateful that it introduced me to American Poetry Club - if anyone is reading this I urge you to take a listen to their music, it's stunning.
slowly sinking back into your old sad self is coming back and listening to this cover and realizing who you once were. its beautifully sad in a selfish way.
“slowly sinking into my sad old self” is so real right now i distinctly remember being about 13 and staring at the ceiling at 4am listening to this and ycgma but i don’t know, i feel really nostalgic abt the whole era ? probably bc i didn’t have any worries back then other than wallowing in my own head but it’s 1:50am and im 16, this is the first time im doing this again after years maybe this marks another era of some sort fo rift between sadness and real depression after it was getting better
This song has been so much for me. Wilbur has inspired me so much to keep playing my instruments, even when I felt like I was horrible at them. The description gives me hope for what I can accomplish in my music career and I can't thank him enough. Wonderful song, It helps me go to sleep at night.
You know I’m gonna be completely honest with you. Pursue music my guy as like a side job or if it gets attraction then you know just uhhhhhhhhh do it as a main job
Dear Sir Soot, You may never see this and that’s okay, I don’t mind, but for whoever is reading this, we can just appreciate how amazing this is? It isn’t that popular, which is a shame cause this is a very beautiful cover, but i’m glad that you, Mr Sir Soot, are getting the musical recognition you deserve. With “Your New Boyfriend” getting very popular quick, the community all are super happy for you. I hope that your music career continues to grow, along with your RUclips and twitch content, but most importantly i wish you the best and that you continue to show the happiness and joy you showed in this video whenever you got a rift right. Life kinda sucks for all of us, but you continue to pick up the community and make other lives more enjoyable so i wish the same for you. Wish you the best, take care. From a random listener,
Ever since I found this cover in the summer of 2020, it’s been everything to me. I grew up in a religious cult, and it was around this time that I started to look outside of it. People like Will and other content creators really helped me to see that the outside world isn’t as bad as I was taught it would be. “I’m feeling safer than I knew I could be, with your arms dragging me into the city” really hits home for me-this video is an unfamiliar place that feels like home. If anyone ends up seeing this someday, I wish you the absolute best and I hope you never have to go through shit like I did
wilbur i think you have such a special talent, the way you play and the way you sing is so beautiful and emotional and raw. so many of us absolutely adore your music just as much as your main channel content. it seems like whatever you are doing, it brings joy and comfort to people, i know that if i’m feeling down i can go to your twitch or youtube and instantly feel so much better. you have really helped me through quarantine and i know it’s not been the easiest for you either. i hope that the world can go back to normal soon but for now please keep safe and thank you from all of us for continuing to make lovely lovely content
I felt that in my soul... wilbur has such a powerful but pleasant voice that it gave me the chills! Keep up the good work! You're truly an inspiration.
Well, Wilbur is the reason I started playing guitar. I've been playing since February 2023. I was a pretty insecure freshman in highschool and I was still trying to find my place, since I wasn't a "jock" (didn't play any sports), wasn't a theatre kid, but wasn't quite a nerd either. I thought Wilbur Soot was a cool "nerd" since he played music, had an interesting fashion sense, was a streamer, was kind of funny. For a time he was all I watched on the internet, just Lovejoy concerts and Wilbur Soot stream vods. I idolized him a little bit. I'm sad it turned out this way. Come on man. It sucks that the guy who really got me into music turned out to be a crappy person, but it is what it is.
ello mr.soot, you probably won't see this but i have an important message. i just wanted to thank you. youre my comfort streamer and mcc today made me smile so much even though ive been low recently. youre a true inspiration to me, i appreciate your role on the dream smp and your music very much. so, one last time, thank you :)
i cant get over the part at the start. it’s like it tickles my brain? which is a weird way to say it i guess. and i’ve listened to this quite a few times. i completely forgot it existed and going through youtube i found it again. and i’ve just been listening to it and thinking about everything? then i started thinking about Wilbur himself. He’s someone whom i’ve never met and probably never will but somehow he has been able to help. he’s been able to save me and make me smile when others couldn’t. and i’ve never met him and once again. probably never will. and im sure it’s the same for a lot of people it’s just so strange to think about. i’m genuinely so greatful for so many content creators. i don’t know i just thought i share my thoughts. but im gonna have to listen to this a few more times now. it’s absolutely beautiful istg.
this is such crazy nostalgia from 2020 when i found wilbur, it low-key makes me sad when i think about how that was 4 years ago and everything has changed so much in such a short amount of time
i loved to listen to this cover, it was one of my favorite covers of all time (dont really know why tho) but now his voice only reminds me of what kind of person wilbur is really
i found dream maybe a few months back. i was entertained, so i checked out more, then i found you. i listened to your music and watched your streams every chance i could. someone had told me about your spotify account, so i went and checked out the playlists you had. i instantly fell in love with KMD. it's been one of my comfort songs since then. i absolutely love the song, and i always feel safe when i listen to it. i looked up the song on RUclips to see what i could find a few days ago, and i saw this. i broke down into tears. i never thought i could feel more safe with a song before. i love this cover so much. i always feel safe watching you and now i can feel safe listening to you singing one of my comfort songs. i love you. thank you.
I know this isn’t a recent video, and he’s most likely not going to see this but- Will, you have really helped me through a lot just by making content, I am in my worst mental state I’ve ever been in at the moment, and you ( and Tommy ) are just about the only thing that has been keeping me somewhat stable. There’s just something that is so calming and relaxing to just listen to you sing and has helped me calm down so many times, I just wanted to say how much I, and many others, appreciate what you do.
Life’s been crashing slowly but wilburs music has always been here to comfort me when I’m low. I recently found this cover and I’m in love. I just sit and take the beauty in, knowing it’ll be okay sooner or later.
hey, umm, thanks for the tune, i ruined my streak of not doing self-harm today, and after listening to your track a bunch of times it helped me cry and pick up my pieces again. thank you for all this, even though you aren't consistent in this channel, your covers and songs have been the bread of my breakfasts lately. you're the best. :)
hey! i hope you're doiing a lot better my guy, and I also hope you're keeping that streak strong :] sincerely someone whos been 'clean' for abt a year now
When he sings the dragging me into the sea, it pierces my soul, in a good way. I can’t understand how someone can put so much raw emotion into a song like this, it’s beautiful.
there’s just something special about this cover. wilbur really makes it feel like you’re there in the same room with him, meanwhile showing you a mix of emotions in the nicest and kindest way possible... this deserves millions of views.
i come back to this video at least once a month when im having a hard week and for some reason it always helps. its beautiful. so beautiful. please never delete this.
I come back to this quite a while and just stay here. I feel so safe here, its like an older brother I never had or just that one friend that's always there for you. Wilbur your singing is just so amazing, soothing and I could genuinely fall asleep to this. Thank you for comforting me without you even knowing that you are. :)
no one will see this but this cover got me through years of hardship since it was posted. got me out of my abusive relationship even. its sad, how i cant look at this song the same anymore. not even the same comfort comes to me now. you were everything wilbur, saved me when i was on the windowsill even. i hope one day you find yourself and change. i mourn for who i thought you were and everything you meant to me.

One thing i wanna point out is that after the "I've heard what you're thinking of" Wlibur's singing voice changes v subtly and it sounds a lot more built, when he hits the "dragging" it's like heaven. i hope he uses that kind of voice for his originals
I know no one will ever read this and I know I'm years late to this video but I just need to say how much I love this cover, and all of wilburs covers, and all of his songs, and how much Wilbur has helped me. These silly songs help me through breakdowns, and wilbur makes me smile even when I'm at my lowest, and even though I have no one else right now I still have this guy on the internet that makes me want to stay alive, and its stupid, i dont know wilbur and he doesnt know me, but hes helped me in every way possible, and I wouldnt be here without him, so thank u wilbur
i feel the exact same way. this channel is just wilbur singing and all of us talking in comments, writing letters, pouring our hearts house while listening to wilbur’s singing. i know we have different lives but i someday hope to cross paths with somebody from this comment section, it’s just so special to me that not many people know about this but we’re always able to come back to it and read snippets from other peoples lives and tell pieces from our own lives and just feel. this is probably cheesy as hell but every bit of what i say here is true
hi this video is 7 months old n i know wilbur will prolly never see this but im genuinely so thankful for this cover. my older brother recently committed the s-word and i lost my grandmother to covid. this song hits really close to home and thats kinda comforting in a way. thank you so much wilbur; i hope you're doing well and happy holidays if you celebrate
I know it's been over a year since this was released but you posted this the day my step father passed. this video has helped me through so much it's unbelievable you have no idea who I am but you somehow have comforted me more then my friends and family ever could have. keep up the amazing work and please take care of yourself. - Ender
Mr. Soot, I started watching your videos sometime in late 2020 or early '21, and I've been hooked since. I didn't know about your music at the time, but I found this channel a few months ago and now I listen to this song on repeat when I feel down. There's just something about your voice and the way you play that draws me back each time; maybe it's the emotion in your tone, or the way you sway and drown in your music, I can't say. More recently I've wanted to learn to play acoustic, but haven't and I have no excuse other than laziness...but you inspire me to be better and I hope that one day I will pick up a guitar and dedicate myself to it like you did
I still come back to this everyday, listen to it and cry. I love reading the comments, people leaving little notes and messages for will. This place feels like home. This gives me warmth and comfort. I hope I’ll remember this for the rest of my life. I’ve been loving this for the last three years and I’ll love it forever. Thank you Will. I love you.
its been years and i still come back to this video when i need to feel something, cry, be happy, or be a hopeless romantic. wilbur, you're an amazing singer. you've changed lives, and i know you've changed mine
theres such guilty shame going back and listening to these covers. its been months since Shelby came out with all the behind the scenes shit, and im so proud of her for doing so, but it really just shows us all that we dont know the people who give us comfort through our screens. it just really hurts
i half expected you to stop playing and leave after the first “it’s getting late, i should go to bed”
Maybe next april 1st. If we have one
That would have been so good
good idea, but lets celebrate that we can see clock
“oh hey, i was jus boutta go to bed”
I think that might have made it better
He’s got a voice that’s just so nice to listen to.
Isn’t that the entire reason people listen to singing
Where's the lie 💜💜💜
Like mac n cheese
I love how the comment section is full of little love letters, nothing romantic really just genuine, wholehearted, appreciation for you and what you do.
This may not hold meaning to you, but I’m fully honest when I say that your music, even the covers of other songs, and you as a person has been beneficial to myself and I’d imagine many others in so many ways. I’m glad to be alive and experience you and your music, and thank you for being here to experience life with us as well.

for anyone that wonders about the tuning:
6: down to C
5: down to G
4: standard D
3: standard G
2: standard B
1: down to D
and capo on 2nd fret ^^
@Niknik! ay its never late enough! song is pretty cool I hope you learn it ^^
THANK YOUUUU
@@Colesolari202 :)
Just wondering. Is the sixth the thickest?
@@LoveDavidsson yes yes! 1st is the thinnest and 6th the thickest one also I say “down to C” because you take it from standard tuning down to a C
Its nice to see you smile with such pure joy and happiness, and if you aren’t then take it easy quarantine has been rough. Love you music.

Hello Mr. Soot, I'd just like to say you have a beautiful singing voice and your content makes me smile when I watch it. Thanks for the laughs and the music to listen to.
thank you
@@WilburSoot 🎶 Awesome song! 🎶
Wilbur Music but why tho
@@WilburSoot thank you for making me smile, your videos are really intertaning! ❤
@@nostalgicarrow2209 why...what?
i know it’s been nine months, but i only found this about a month ago. i haven’t stopped listening since.
maybe it’s the way you play, or the emotion in your voice, or the faint bird chirping you can hear at one point, but something about this video combined with your singing is absolutely mesmerizing. i’m completely enamored by the way you play so freely, and the genuine smile you wear.
you actually inspired me to play guitar, and i’ve been having a go at it for about two months now. i’ve made progress, but i hope one day to play with the same revere for music that you do.
it’s very very unlikely that you’ll see this, but of the off chance that you do, thank you. you published this at the beginning of quarantine, and we are still here. i’m sure this has gotten people through it, and for others like me who found this late, it’s giving them a push towards the end of covid. this display of joy was refreshing to see, and something i think all of us needed.
please keep playing. you’ve inspired many.
or, yknow, don’t, if that’s what would make you happier. because you deserve to be happy.
thank you, wilbur.
He did see your comment :D
P.S don’t edit it cause it’ll take away the like.

This was made around two years ago so hello to anyone who finds this buried under the comments. I have done nothing today but this made me feel very happy listening to this. I have followed Wilbur since the beginning of covid and he has helped me through dark times. He made me want to play the guitar and learn so many different things. I haven't played guitar in a while but this just made me smile. Goodbye stranger :]

this song/cover feels like it's wrapping me in a big tight hug and telling me it'll be okay
As dramatic as it sounds, I found out my school was canceled for the rest of the year which is going to affect me greatly because my group of friends is what gives me that boost of motivation every day to keep pushing and so idk, watching stuff like this makes me feel like everything is okay for now and maybe this'll all be over soon.
Update; still coming back to this video every day to feel something, and keep me busy. Thank you for the nice comments, they made me smile :^)
Try to find your motivation in other things as well, and stay in touch with your friends as much as possible!! (through Skype, your phones etc.) We all have to find a way through this, I hope you find yours ;)
I would give a like but you got the funny number so 👍

Not tryna be an ass but were all going through the same shit. So at least you're not completely alone.
sigh... this was a love comment i had written 3 years ago when i had first discovered your content. you got me through a very hard time, and i will be eternally greatful for that. but to say i am disappointed and shocked at the recent things that have come foward about you would be an understatemnt. i am deeply saddened. and i hope you can make ammends and better yourself while also being aware of the fact that you can never undo the harm you have caused. i hope that will ensure you will never do it again. but god, i feel sick.
LMFAO I love the edit. Great guy with a bunch of talents, random or not :)
It's one of those things which is so amazing when you're doing it, like, when I play guitar (not as good as him) and you feel really connected to the sound and let it emerse you, it's just the best feeling
true. Something about his music makes me want to listen, the way he plays is so aggressive but yet so beautiful. Also, I love his voice, calming and smooth.
I don't know why, but his music just hits different
Yes Wilbur has these traits and yes Minecraft wilbur
Funny as hell sounds too small. More like funny as heaven.
I don’t know what he does but he plays so different, he sings so different. Something about him is so mesmerizing and intriguing. He plays with emotion, he has talent. It’s hard to describe.
He probably won’t see this because it’s been so long since he uploaded this but wow Wilbur just has this thing about him, that is so comforting in a way. The way he sings and produces music is just so special to me and it’s so hard to describe how happy it makes me feel.
Thank you Wilbur, your music, you’re everything is just so special. To this day, with your city gave me asthma, and the maybe I was boring EP, and now your new Lovejoy band, it’s just so amazing. You’re music is amazing Wilbur
:) agreed
this comment made me so teary
I've always loved his voice, but it's clear that he's made so much progress quality-wise since 'Romance Is Boring' and 'I'm a Familiar Creak In Your Floorboards'. Beautiful cover
i actually liked his voice in those covers those are like my favorite
for "Im a familiar creak in your floorboards" the original song also has a quaky tone because the original singer is really close to just breaking down and crying
I've always wanted an older brother, and this video just reminded me of how badly I wish that could happen. You just give off really strong caring older brother vibes, and I really really wish that I had that. I have to admit, I broke down when I heard this. The song itself didn't affect me, but your voice just really got to me. Thank you so much for this, Wilbur. I don't even know if I'm happy or sad right now, just... thank you.

i lost my mom to an overdose when i was five, almost eleven years ago. something about this video, your video, has always connected deeply with me.
your voice, the way you play, everything. it sounds dumb and weird but i always pictured it as if you were someone who actually knew me and was singing it just for me, like the line "was it your mom you were thinking of?"
i come to this cover whenever i miss her, and it makes me feel as though someone sees me, actually sees me, and cares.

what is the most reachable thing in your life that would improve your life, that you are actually willing to start or stop doing? - go from there.
dont fall into the circle of debating with yourself about things u should do and just do them without engaging in the inner dialogue.
start small. like clean your space. but allow yourself to feel good about the things u did or accomplished today and remind yourself about them instead of beating yourself up about what u didnt do but know u should have.
you dont need to have it all together. noone rly has. it is a process of growth, not a threshhold where once u pass and things just magicly fall into place.
you dont need to represent anything in your life. not to your friends, your family, society or anybody else.
and if you feel like you have to represent something to yourself at least, go back to step one - what is the most reachable thing that would improve your life, that you are also willing to stop or start doing? - and go from there.
The wet hair hits different
bro stop being such a good role model
hello wilbur.
to be honest, i wasn't really gonna write anything cause it didn't affect 'me' much, but i see all of these comments and hey why not. also, this video's comment section has or had a very letter-esque vibe, so it felt appropriate
i've always used your music as a coping mechanism for Techno's loss. Losing face, in particular. Why? i don't really know, to be honest. Actually, i do, but it's not really something i wanna talk about. anyways i kind of looked up to you because of that, and listened to all of your music. Lovejoy was the first band which i knew all of the songs of, which is crazy for me since i just listen to the things i wanna listen to, but im usually hesitant in trying other songs of an artist or band.
it kinda sucks now that i cant tearfully sing to Losing face anymore without giving the lyrics another separate meaning, but i don't really care about it that much.
i knew of you before Techno's passing, and hell i still consumed your content a lot back then, so im surprised as to why this doesn't bother me personally. but i found out yesterday and my day got ruined, and i felt terrible. honestly, screw that one guy who put me on this rabbit hole for finding out 'oh, what happened?" fuck him. I would've rather lived in ignorance.
i don't know you. maybe you did get better after YCGMA, and stuff like that. but you evidently didn't. Or you did, but you pushed yourself in trying to get better and ended up in a vicious cycle. and i don't think you are going to get better at least at this current time and until the next year even?
i kind of understand the meaning behind most of the songs in MSR now. and i do think you feel sorry or regret it at least. i'll still continue listening to your songs and all, cause it won't change a single thing if i don't.
i hope you get better. for yourself, and for everyone you knew.
Out of every response to this situation I’ve seen, this one stands above the rest. Kudos to you, and I hope that you are doing okay.
@@Tunedwastaken aw, thank you. im not totally okay but i think one day i will be. this comment made me pretty happy lol. i hope you are doing okay as well.
And this is the comment that makes me gain faith in people ❤
do keep in mind their relationship was atleast a year ago. so it'd be nice to think that he may have reflected and changed in that time. i mean, life can change people in much less time than that, it is true. I don't think that his apology necessarily shows like 100% lack of remorse or anything, just that he handled it the wrong way. It should be an apology to the actual person first and then a genuine explanation and apology to the fans. I'd be inclined to support him in that case, atleast.
Hi. I'm so sorry about how all this has happened to you, but the thing is, Wilbur is innocent. He isn't horrible. Shelby has shown no evidence of her abuse, and in all her pictures, she wears short clothing that a victim wouldn't do, but even if they would, they'd have bruises. Which she didn't. Not in the slightest. In most of wilburs pictures and especially ones with shelby, he had many bruises, and he would do his fake smile without putting his tongue below his teeth. He looks drained and tired, and he is going through depression and probably wants to kill himself, especially after all the hate. He did bite her, but he stated in his apology that from his many conversation with her, he had the understanding that they both thought it was consensual and done out of affection. He had slobbish and lazy behaviour and hadn't paid her compliments in a while BECAUSE of his mental health. It was around the time technoblade had passed and he had really bad depression. He struggled to get out of bed and struggled to clean, but shelby thought that was bad behaviour? She also stated in her recent stream that depression isn't an excuse and that you can never change or be given a second chance. She also accused her ex boyfriends in the past for abusive behaviour, and once it was proved wrong, she quickly deleted all evidence of it. The time she released all the news on wilbur was the 5ime when her merch store was going bankrupt and she wasn't earning much money. It was also the time when wilbur had gone on a mental health break.
He was innocent. The only evidence she has is her word.
this hits too hard
I really don’t know why but every time I hear it and the way his accent thickens with the “I heard what you’re thinking off” like he just went into my brain and saw my darkest thought. And when he plays the guitar after that little piece there’s a ringing behind it and I don’t know if that’s me but it adds so much more
it makes me cry every time, there’s so emotion
and the build on the guitar and then how it pulls back at the beginning

It isn't as good as meeting him in real life and telling him, but I'm pretty sure he still reads his noreply email. He said he usually reads them occasionally, so even though he doesn't reply you can be confident that he'll read it. So if you wanna you can try it. It's wilburnoreply@gmail(dot)com
Email edited because the comments probably have antispam filters

Honestly, me too. Not a life-death situation but inspirational, motivational person. Like he is skilled and talented in what he does and he inspires me to do something like that as well. Even thou my entire life i was never interested in guitar, i want to learn guitar with my whole heart now due to him...
I find myself coming back to this cover a lot and I can't quite explain why. I feel that there is a sense of comfort in this song, and in how happy Wilbur seems to be while playing it.
The song is so beautiful and I'm incredibly grateful that it introduced me to American Poetry Club - if anyone is reading this I urge you to take a listen to their music, it's stunning.
I couldn’t agree more
slowly sinking back into your old sad self is coming back and listening to this cover and realizing who you once were. its beautifully sad in a selfish way.
@LichenCoveredRock it makes me realize how crappy this world is. that’s what i’m dealing with too.
“slowly sinking into my sad old self” is so real right now
i distinctly remember being about 13 and staring at the ceiling at 4am listening to this and ycgma

Dear Sir Soot,
You may never see this and that’s okay, I don’t mind, but for whoever is reading this, we can just appreciate how amazing this is? It isn’t that popular, which is a shame cause this is a very beautiful cover, but i’m glad that you, Mr Sir Soot, are getting the musical recognition you deserve. With “Your New Boyfriend” getting very popular quick, the community all are super happy for you.
I hope that your music career continues to grow, along with your RUclips and twitch content, but most importantly i wish you the best and that you continue to show the happiness and joy you showed in this video whenever you got a rift right. Life kinda sucks for all of us, but you continue to pick up the community and make other lives more enjoyable so i wish the same for you.
Wish you the best, take care.
From a random listener,
as soon as i finished reading it ,i saw your name and i got to say... : BRUH

Nothing to say but this...
Ever since I found this cover in the summer of 2020, it’s been everything to me. I grew up in a religious cult, and it was around this time that I started to look outside of it. People like Will and other content creators really helped me to see that the outside world isn’t as bad as I was taught it would be. “I’m feeling safer than I knew I could be, with your arms dragging me into the city” really hits home for me-this video is an unfamiliar place that feels like home. If anyone ends up seeing this someday, I wish you the absolute best and I hope you never have to go through shit like I did

I was a pretty insecure freshman in highschool and I was still trying to find my place, since I wasn't a "jock" (didn't play any sports), wasn't a theatre kid, but wasn't quite a nerd either. I thought Wilbur Soot was a cool "nerd" since he played music, had an interesting fashion sense, was a streamer, was kind of funny. For a time he was all I watched on the internet, just Lovejoy concerts and Wilbur Soot stream vods. I idolized him a little bit. I'm sad it turned out this way. Come on man. It sucks that the guy who really got me into music turned out to be a crappy person, but it is what it is.
ello mr.soot, you probably won't see this but i have an important message.
i just wanted to thank you. youre my comfort streamer and mcc today made me smile so much even though ive been low recently. youre a true inspiration to me, i appreciate your role on the dream smp and your music very much. so, one last time, thank you :)
I love your voice, there’s something about it that’s melancholic but also really calming :)
i cant get over the part at the start. it’s like it tickles my brain? which is a weird way to say it i guess. and i’ve listened to this quite a few times. i completely forgot it existed and going through youtube i found it again. and i’ve just been listening to it and thinking about everything? then i started thinking about Wilbur himself. He’s someone whom i’ve never met and probably never will but somehow he has been able to help. he’s been able to save me and make me smile when others couldn’t. and i’ve never met him and once again. probably never will. and im sure it’s the same for a lot of people it’s just so strange to think about. i’m genuinely so greatful for so many content creators. i don’t know i just thought i share my thoughts. but im gonna have to listen to this a few more times now. it’s absolutely beautiful istg.
the best thing to vibe to during quarantine

This has very “Hozier sitting on a roof singing with birds” vibes, it’s not just me right?
V accurate
its also nice with a rain background
too accurate
he really does have that sort of folksy vibe to him, no matter what song he covers or makes
no you're right. say it louder.
this is such crazy nostalgia from 2020 when i found wilbur, it low-key makes me sad when i think about how that was 4 years ago and everything has changed so much in such a short amount of time
i loved to listen to this cover, it was one of my favorite covers of all time (dont really know why tho) but now his voice only reminds me of what kind of person wilbur is really
i found dream maybe a few months back. i was entertained, so i checked out more, then i found you. i listened to your music and watched your streams every chance i could. someone had told me about your spotify account, so i went and checked out the playlists you had. i instantly fell in love with KMD. it's been one of my comfort songs since then. i absolutely love the song, and i always feel safe when i listen to it. i looked up the song on RUclips to see what i could find a few days ago, and i saw this. i broke down into tears. i never thought i could feel more safe with a song before. i love this cover so much. i always feel safe watching you and now i can feel safe listening to you singing one of my comfort songs. i love you. thank you.
I knew something was coming when he changed the pfp
I know this isn’t a recent video, and he’s most likely not going to see this but-
Will, you have really helped me through a lot just by making content, I am in my worst mental state I’ve ever been in at the moment, and you ( and Tommy ) are just about the only thing that has been keeping me somewhat stable. There’s just something that is so calming and relaxing to just listen to you sing and has helped me calm down so many times, I just wanted to say how much I, and many others, appreciate what you do.
I NEVER THOUGHT THIS DAY WOULD COME. UR THE BEST WILBUR (BENJAMIN)
Sam Stewie Benjamin???

Lt Ehax yeah Niki’s favourite name is Benjamin lol
Love this, funny hearing him imitate the American accent tho lool
ikr its so funny to listen to, but weirdly soothing at the same time
Life’s been crashing slowly but wilburs music has always been here to comfort me when I’m low. I recently found this cover and I’m in love. I just sit and take the beauty in, knowing it’ll be okay sooner or later.
i hope it's gotten better for you
hey, umm, thanks for the tune, i ruined my streak of not doing self-harm today, and after listening to your track a bunch of times it helped me cry and pick up my pieces again. thank you for all this, even though you aren't consistent in this channel, your covers and songs have been the bread of my breakfasts lately. you're the best. :)
Hey, how ya doing?
its been awhile but im proud of you for being here
Hope you’re still doing well. You’re never alone, remember that. Pain is just practice
it’s been a while but i’m proud of you, i hope you’re doing well :))
hey! i hope you're doiing a lot better my guy, and I also hope you're keeping that streak strong :]
sincerely someone whos been 'clean' for abt a year now
When he sings the dragging me into the sea, it pierces my soul, in a good way. I can’t understand how someone can put so much raw emotion into a song like this, it’s beautiful.
6years ive been watching wilbur. and i remember the day this cover came out. its 2023, i keep coming back here to be back in that place once again
This was so calming and relaxing, just what everyone needs in times like these. Thank you Wilbur
there’s just something special about this cover. wilbur really makes it feel like you’re there in the same room with him, meanwhile showing you a mix of emotions in the nicest and kindest way possible... this deserves millions of views.
i come back to this video at least once a month when im having a hard week and for some reason it always helps. its beautiful. so beautiful. please never delete this.
this makes everything slow down for a little bit
I come back to this quite a while and just stay here. I feel so safe here, its like an older brother I never had or just that one friend that's always there for you. Wilbur your singing is just so amazing, soothing and I could genuinely fall asleep to this. Thank you for comforting me without you even knowing that you are. :)
no one will see this but this cover got me through years of hardship since it was posted. got me out of my abusive relationship even. its sad, how i cant look at this song the same anymore. not even the same comfort comes to me now. you were everything wilbur, saved me when i was on the windowsill even. i hope one day you find yourself and change. i mourn for who i thought you were and everything you meant to me.
Literally sums up everything for me too.
couldn't have worded it better. I'm glad you are still here by the way. :)
Hi. I'm so sorry about how all this has happened to you, but the thing is, Wilbur is innocent. He isn't horrible. Shelby has shown no evidence of her abuse, and in all her pictures, she wears short clothing that a victim wouldn't do, but even if they would, they'd have bruises. Which she didn't. Not in the slightest. In most of wilburs pictures and especially ones with shelby, he had many bruises, and he would do his fake smile without putting his tongue below his teeth. He looks drained and tired, and he is going through depression and probably wants to kill himself, especially after all the hate. He did bite her, but he stated in his apology that from his many conversation with her, he had the understanding that they both thought it was consensual and done out of affection. He had slobbish and lazy behaviour and hadn't paid her compliments in a while BECAUSE of his mental health. It was around the time technoblade had passed and he had really bad depression. He struggled to get out of bed and struggled to clean, but shelby thought that was bad behaviour? She also stated in her recent stream that depression isn't an excuse and that you can never change or be given a second chance. She also accused her ex boyfriends in the past for abusive behaviour, and once it was proved wrong, she quickly deleted all evidence of it. The time she released all the news on wilbur was the 5ime when her merch store was going bankrupt and she wasn't earning much money. It was also the time when wilbur had gone on a mental health break.
He was innocent. The only evidence she has is her word.
@@Firdaus-MLet’s goooo, freaking facts right there.
@@OrangePorrage yess
One thing i wanna point out is that after the "I've heard what you're thinking of" Wlibur's singing voice changes v subtly and it sounds a lot more built, when he hits the "dragging" it's like heaven. i hope he uses that kind of voice for his originals
This song was put on my playlist before I even heard it.
You mean the playlist Wilbur made?
109 Games eat your cereal
I know no one will ever read this and I know I'm years late to this video but I just need to say how much I love this cover, and all of wilburs covers, and all of his songs, and how much Wilbur has helped me. These silly songs help me through breakdowns, and wilbur makes me smile even when I'm at my lowest, and even though I have no one else right now I still have this guy on the internet that makes me want to stay alive, and its stupid, i dont know wilbur and he doesnt know me, but hes helped me in every way possible, and I wouldnt be here without him, so thank u wilbur
❤😊
i feel the exact same way. this channel is just wilbur singing and all of us talking in comments, writing letters, pouring our hearts house while listening to wilbur’s singing. i know we have different lives but i someday hope to cross paths with somebody from this comment section, it’s just so special to me that not many people know about this but we’re always able to come back to it and read snippets from other peoples lives and tell pieces from our own lives and just feel. this is probably cheesy as hell but every bit of what i say here is true
I feel like I'm sorry for being late reply
Very Nice 1:59
hi this video is 7 months old n i know wilbur will prolly never see this but im genuinely so thankful for this cover. my older brother recently committed the s-word and i lost my grandmother to covid. this song hits really close to home and thats kinda comforting in a way. thank you so much wilbur; i hope you're doing well and happy holidays if you celebrate
i know this is a year later, but for whatever it is worth. i am so incredibly sorry for your loss. may they be resting in peace.
damn this song feels like the moment you realise you just ruined a friendship you had. the way wilbur performs is so beautiful
I know it's been over a year since this was released but you posted this the day my step father passed. this video has helped me through so much it's unbelievable you have no idea who I am but you somehow have comforted me more then my friends and family ever could have. keep up the amazing work and please take care of yourself. - Ender
Im already on my fourth loop I'm literally not gonna have a rest of the day other than laying here listening to this, this is a pogchamp
Mr. Soot,
I started watching your videos sometime in late 2020 or early '21, and I've been hooked since. I didn't know about your music at the time, but I found this channel a few months ago and now I listen to this song on repeat when I feel down. There's just something about your voice and the way you play that draws me back each time; maybe it's the emotion in your tone, or the way you sway and drown in your music, I can't say.
More recently I've wanted to learn to play acoustic, but haven't and I have no excuse other than laziness...but you inspire me to be better and I hope that one day I will pick up a guitar and dedicate myself to it like you did
I still come back to this everyday, listen to it and cry. I love reading the comments, people leaving little notes and messages for will. This place feels like home. This gives me warmth and comfort. I hope I’ll remember this for the rest of my life. I’ve been loving this for the last three years and I’ll love it forever. Thank you Will. I love you.
its been years and i still come back to this video when i need to feel something, cry, be happy, or be a hopeless romantic. wilbur, you're an amazing singer. you've changed lives, and i know you've changed mine
Rip Soothouse
Also that’s really beautiful
theres such guilty shame going back and listening to these covers. its been months since Shelby came out with all the behind the scenes shit, and im so proud of her for doing so, but it really just shows us all that we dont know the people who give us comfort through our screens.
it just really hurts
everything's going to be okay
He did it. He made it. Shit I love him so much.
