One of my favorite bits of context to a Lovejoy lyric is in Model Buses. "My mother says you're up your own ass, like a stage hand as a puppet show, but hell what does she know?" Wilbur said it references his actual mom, who is a puppeteer (and a kind of well known one in the UK from a show over there I think) and who would, in fact, know a lot lol Concrete is one of my fav Lovejoy songs. It's just so upbeat and catchy while the lyrics are just so done with whoever it's singing toward lol. Love how narrative the lyrics are as well. Also, ATP actually ended up my top song on my Spotify Wrapped last year! I was kind of surprised tbh
Yayyy another great reaction!! If you're curious of the behind the scenes process of Lovejoy's first two EPs and first tour, Ash actually did a bunch of monthly vlogs for awhile detailing these things under his channel Ash Kabosu!! They're very enjoyable and fun, it's a shame he's too busy nowadays to vlog but the videos he does have are classics
"What do you do to relax; what do you do to switch off?" "Uhhhhh I.... I wha-I like to...paint um.. oh I make things. I like to-" "What do you make?" "I make... I have a thing where I make models of... a- be- weuruh-liesing-where-mare-rather-we build a beautiful- I make... buses." "You make models of buses-" "I make models of buses." "So they're gonna be in downing street-" "I do- so, so what I do- no I do make models of buses, what I make is I get old um... wooden crates, right..." "Yeah." "...and then I paint them. And they uh- n- they have two, tw- uh- suppose it's a wi- it's a w- box that's been used to contain two, two wine bottles right?" "Right," "And it will have... a-a- o- a- a... dividing thing," "Yeah," "And I turn it into bus- and I- so I- I pu- I put passengers... You really wanna know this?" "You're making- you're making buses; you're making cardboard buses. Okay, that's what you do to enjoy yourself, now-" "You wanna do- I ma- I ma- yeah I- I paint, no I paint; I paint- no- I paint the passengers enjoying themselves-" "Okay, great." "...on the wonderful bus." "Great." This took forever lol
OMGGGG I SAW THE THUMBNAIL AND YOURE FINALLY AT ATPPP!!! I know it’s not the boys song but my god the cover is so goddamn good :) Edit: you should definitely watch lovejoy acoustic set w/ Tommy. It’s so fun and you get to see one of Wilbur’s friends as well as #1 lovejoy fan, tommyinnit, singing lovejoy songs and generally having a great time (p.s they play 3 songs if I remember correctly so it’s the right length for your usual vids)
I BEGGG you have to listen to los campesinos! they are my absolute favourite band ever they have crazy good lyrics thier songs are literally life changing even if its not for a video i reccomend listening to them
I think you should totally listen to Good Kid. They and lovejoy are kind of similar and they always go on your together. Good kid are based in Canada and they’re constantly touring and writing a ton of music. Nick frost is their singer, Michael on bass, Jon on drums, and jacob and Davey on guitar. Highly would recommend because when it comes to lovejoy and good kid most people who like one also like the other!!
model buses is about the ex prime minister, boris johnson. he did an interview a few years ago and the interviewer asked what he liked to do in his spare time and bojo said he liked to make model buses and the way he explained everything he made was pretty funny
If you think lovejoy is good, wilbur gets his inspiration from a band called los campesinos also we’re he gets the cover for Knee deep ATP Its an original song of there’s and Wilbur’s favourite band
i also really recommend their cover of privately owned spiral galaxy by crywank!! it's a really good cover and they actually just got finished doing a tour where crywank opened for them!

i literally grew up watching his mum on tv. it’s crazy now to think her son is a big part of my adulthood haha
isn't she also an author? i think he mentioned that on his podcast a couple years ago

Model busses lore: Boris Johnson collects model busses, this is another song talking about the big bad British government.
"What do you do to relax; what do you do to switch off?"
"Uhhhhh I.... I wha-I like to...paint um.. oh I make things. I like to-"
"What do you make?"
"I make... I have a thing where I make models of... a- be- weuruh-liesing-where-mare-rather-we build a beautiful- I make... buses."
"You make models of buses-"
"I make models of buses."
"So they're gonna be in downing street-"

"Yeah."

This took forever lol
@@Purplesome_ real.
Reminds me of when I commented the lyrics to around the world
(It was not worth it)
The concrete video was legit just... filmed. not planned. so Will really did come in to a bar and pour his own draft XD
the poort bartender 😆
I always look forward to your lovejoy/wilbur reactions and seeing how much you love this music, keep up the good work!
so true, i beg you do los canpesinos, and like alot of them because their different eras are ELITE
When you listen to Los Campesinos I suggest you listen to “There Are Listed Buildings” as it’s Wilbur’s favorite song of all time
I reccomend cause for concern
wahoo!
wahoo!
i dont know if you have listen to sex sells but it is really good!!!
OMGGGG I SAW THE THUMBNAIL AND YOURE FINALLY AT ATPPP!!!

YEAH BEST VIDEO EVER
THE BROTHERS
@@koppuchino I think their brotherly relationship really shines✨ in that vid
@@remi3936 crimeboys lives on 🔥
yes! i loved the acoustic set!
I BEGGG you have to listen to los campesinos! they are my absolute favourite band ever they have crazy good lyrics thier songs are literally life changing even if its not for a video i reccomend listening to them
i second this !!!
they’re on his list! he’ll get around to it eventually (:
There is a serious lack of Los Campesinos! reactions on RUclips
VOUCH!! I love Los Campesinos sooooo much
At this point it’s not even a first time 😂
Yes, Ash is probably one of my favorite bassists. I really need to learn some of his lines.
I think you should totally listen to Good Kid. They and lovejoy are kind of similar and they always go on your together. Good kid are based in Canada and they’re constantly touring and writing a ton of music. Nick frost is their singer, Michael on bass, Jon on drums, and jacob and Davey on guitar.

i second this heavily i love good kid so much they’re awesome !!! :]
You ABSOLUTELY listen to their cover of privately owned spiral galaxy
They just released another music video for Portrait of a Blank Slate!!!
Knee deep at ATP is honestly a nice little story with another band's name as a base
model buses is about the ex prime minister, boris johnson. he did an interview a few years ago and the interviewer asked what he liked to do in his spare time and bojo said he liked to make model buses and the way he explained everything he made was pretty funny
don't remember if you listened to The Fall, but yeah that ones fire
Concrete is one of the best Lovejoy songs hearing it live is amazing it hits so hard
Yay another awesome reaction. I genuinely find myself waiting for your greats videos now
I still find it funny how Wilbur is taller than the greenscreen
You've listened to Lovejoy/Wilbur so many times its just EVEN MORE now lol
If you think lovejoy is good, wilbur gets his inspiration from a band called los campesinos also we’re he gets the cover for Knee deep ATP
Its an original song of there’s and Wilbur’s favourite band
Lovejoy's cover of Knee deep at atp is in my opinion better then the Los campesinos. They are both good but I prefer Lovejoy's cover.
Listen to Arden Jones and/or Alec Benjamin! Two of my favorites for sure
Fun fact model busses was written about the uk old prominenter borris johnson and how he had a plan to ride a bike and bus plan
I never paid too much attention to the music videos themselves and when i watched your video I did and the knee deep at atp video made me cry
i also really recommend their cover of privately owned spiral galaxy by crywank!! it's a really good cover and they actually just got finished doing a tour where crywank opened for them!
You should really listen to Los campesinos! It's one of the bands Wilbur got me into cause he made an cover of romance is boring on his music channel.
knee deep at ATP really feels like it’s the origins of lovejoy
love watching these
