    I love how the chorus intensifies each time.
    "That can be told,"
    "That _will_ be told,"
    "That *_shall_* be told."
    More confident each time. It's fantastic.

    I love how some of the lyrics are so meaningful like "I remember the moment when my dreams were broken" and "it's a long long road and we follow it again and again" and then some of them are just "went down to the Coast Guard to see what they're guarding, see what the sign says you idiot we're guarding the coast" and yet the song still flows so well

    • @simpumoon
      @simpumoon Před 3 lety +54

      Yes, in both lyrics and music. Bill Wurtz has been able to make people feel like there is meaning to his songs. Of course there is only meaning when you want there to be. That’s why I feel this song is kind of “free form” while the music guiding it to follow the beat as well. It’s a very clever tactic that takes a long time to master. Keep looking for meanings. (You’re doing such a good job than most people)!

      @@simpumoon I beg to differ: I don't think you can find meaning in every individual lyric, but if you pay attention to what's overall being said, I think there is some form of meaning.
      Sometimes it's more blatant than others; "might quit" makes a whole lot more sense when you understand he left to learn more 3D animation, and this one makes more sense when you contextualise the "long long journey" as Bill's youtube career.

      @sagehanson190 Před 2 měsíci

      ​@@Jaws31 There's nothing wrong with saying something has meaning because you want it to. That statement can be applied to just about any piece of art, really. I mean, sure, you can ask yourself what the meaning in a piece of art is, and chances are the artist who made it had something in mind, that 'something' being the 'meaning.' But, I think it's a little more complex than that. There are a lot of people out there who try to discover the intended meaning behind art when faced with it, people who try to get into the mind of the artist. There's nothing wrong with that of course, a lot of art is made to convey a message or idea, and understanding that will help you better appreciate the piece and the artist. But, at the same time, I feel it's equally, if not more important to find your own meaning in art. The things we humans create are most powerful when we can relate them to our own lives and experiences. And, the thing is, something doesn't have to have a defined meaning for it to still be meaningful. An artist doesn't have an idea or message to convey for their creation to be powerful. This song, and many others by Bill Wurtz, very much feel like they embrace that idea of letting people find their own meaning in the music, and that's just fine in my book.

The “snapping feel” the music gives also help the message you think the song is trying to convey. The tone also really helps here. The most important part is that the lyrics and music are contradicting each other. Making you feel like there is something more, but also a very satisfying feeling.

    “I know that this video is a bill wurtz video and is supposed to make no sense, but this one truly speaks to me. There’s so much truth to it. It symbolizes the Journey of life. When you’re younger, you have so many dreams that you want to achieve. When you get older, you figure out that many of those dreams aren’t going to happen. You become stuck on this long long journey of life. You don’t know what your next step should be. You have so much time ahead of you, but what will you do with it? The song seems to be about someone reminiscing on this time of life. They’re remembering the journey they went on to get to the point they are at now. The song ends by saying that it’s still a ‘long long long way forward.’ The journey isn’t over, and it never will be, like the never-ending road it mentioned. It’s as if the message he is trying to show is that even if life may not be infinite, the journey is. There’s an infinite amount of choices you will make. There’s an infinite amount of of memories. So even though sometimes you are stuck and don’t know what to do with the rest of your life journey, you will get through it. You have already been through so much, and you can and will get through so much more. Good times, not so good times, they’re all part of that journey.”

      Okay, great job! Glad to see some people actually listen to the lyrics. There is a difference to listening and hearing by the way. I feel this song has a more “free form” style to it. It could mean anything. I do agree with your thoughts as to how this is about the “journey of life.” However, looking deeper can really help you feel more if you want. It is clear that the music has a uppity feel to it, and that the lyrics are very cleverly written by, having a certain meaning to them. Being able to put these things together, allows the lyrics to feel more impactful than if you match them together. I’m more of a literary person, than a musical genius. I find lyrics more fun to decipher than how they sync with music. The cheerful music, combined with the contradicting lyrics really get the song in your head. It also makes you feel inspired to keep going. It seems you think this song is about the “journey of life,” and it is clear that, that message is one of the easier ones to grasp than others. As I take from it, putting these two parts together, really help the song as a whole. In both lyrics and music. This tactic is a classic, and is a very good one to get messages sent clearly, cleverly, and fun. I’m glad you’re able to pull a meaning out of this song, it shows that you are invested and actively listening, to try and understand. The “free form” style is a good way to get you think, and feel. The music is really the donkey carrying the goods here. (You’re doing better than others by thinking). ;)

      We all make plans about how life will go, and some of them we pin a lot of hope on. But they don't always work out. Sometimes you gotta keep trying but other times it might be a good idea to just give up on them and try something different.
      Life seems short in the grand scheme of things but really we all have a lot of life ahead of us and so long as we live there is telling how it will turn out. Life has limitless possibilities for everyone, and we won't know how it all turned out until its over.
      So maybe just try something new? Move to Hollywood, start at podcast, join the coast guard, doesn't matter what, doesn't matter if it works out or not. If it doesn't then just move on and try something else. If it does, well there you go, now you have a real life going. Life goes on and with it comes endless opportunities to make memories and enjoy life. So keep on keeping on.

      It means that even if you're so sure that you're going to fail that you think you already have, try anyway. Even if you fail, the second part of that sentance covers you. "And if I came here to lose, I still might win when I go down that road again." The "going down that road again" is not giving up, and trying a second time.

It took me a long time to find out who I was attracted to but I realized that I was bisexual and it made me feel super happy to be my true self, this song honestly sums up my journey finding my true self and who I was. This has to be my faveorite song from Bill Wurtz, Bill if your reading this I love your songs and thank you for being an amazing person, musician and so much more! Thank you again my dude 💖✨

      It’s great this song can get you to feel certain ways, as most people just like the music part. Lyrics and music are both very powerful tools to make people feel and think. Although I feel this song is very, “free form.” The music really helps here, like a lot. The uppity music combined with the adversary of the lyrics really get you to feel that the lyrics mean something more, than what they appear. Cheerful music, can be used to spread deep messages easily, and in a more “fun” manner than going to match both together.

    It's definetly the most coherent bill wurtz video apart from the history ones. It really feels like Bill is trying something new (I know that he always did something new and was never really predictable, but I strongly feel that this video is majorly different from his other works.)
    I really like it. This time it's not mostly fun because of its wurtzness but its catchiness.

    1:47 - 2:03 that sound is just utterly incredible. this is insane talent because I know Bill makes all of his music by himself. It baffles me how nobody has reached out to him to produce like a movie soundtrack or something. He’s literally just a hidden gem in plain sight

    I remember the moment that my dreams were broken
    I wrote them down on a postcard then threw it away
    I slipped into some trousers and rolled out my window
    Then went out into the wilderness where I’m going to stay
    And it’s a long, long, long journey that we’ve been on
    And it’s a long long long story that can be told
    And it’s a long long day, and we’ve come a long long way
    And it’s a long long long way back
    Lookin around this museum for paintings I relate to
    Even though most of them were painted by somebody else
    Then we went to the movies and watched lots of films there, yeahh
    Now I’m going down to Hollywood to make them myself
    And it’s a long, long, long journey that we’ve been on
    And it’s a long long long story that will be told
    And it’s a long long day, and we’ve come a long long way
    And it’s a long long long way back
    And it’s a big big vehicle that we’re driving in
    And I’ve been following this roadway since it began
    And if I came here to lose then I still might win
    When I go down that road again
    And the road doesn’t end
    It’s a long long road and we follow it again and again
    And the road don’t pretend
    I went down to the coast guard to see what they’re guarding
    See what the sign says, you idiot, we’re guarding the coast
    Now I’m going on a podcast to talk about my memories
    Even though I can’t remember anything from before the show
    I made some long long phone calls to my friends at home
    And I told them where I’ve been and the places I’m going
    And they said, “Wow, that’s incredible, but we already know,
    Because of that long long song you wrote.”
    About how it’s a long, long, long journey that we’ve been on
    And it’s a long long long story that shall be told
    And it’s a long long day, and we’ve come a long long way
    But there’s still a long way to go
    It’s a long long long way
    It’s a long long strong way
    It’s a long long long way
    Forward

    What I like about these songs is that while they are very abstract, they occasionally connect this abstractness to something very material and random, giving the song a sort of wavy journey through symbolism and concrete narratives
