YOUR TURNNN

Rank the Wilbur Songs :D (u can include the incel trilogy if u want, I just don't know those songs very well so I didnt)

YIPPEE!!! Gosh I’m looking forward to this :D

Okay, to make this easier for me, I’m gonna rank all the songs by album/trilogy/etc, and then make a list of my Very Favorites at the end :)

Maybe I Was Boring

1. White Wine In A Wetherspoons — before a few weeks ago I didn’t even realize this was one of Wilbur’s songs aksgajsgajf but I LISTENED AND INSTANTLY WAS LIKE “OHHHH THIS IS A FAVORITE THIS IS A FAVORITE OH MY!!!” I absolutely love the more visual lyrics, ones that describe places or moments, and the image of hurrying up flights of stairs and finally sitting down to drink, coupled with snapshots from London… immaculate. Simply immaculate. Gosh I love this song. Pretty much every lyric in this song are some of my favorite lyrics of Any song Ever oh my gosh oh my gosh

2. Maybe I Was Boring — again, the visual lyrics really make me love the song :D And it has such a pretty sound, and the lyrics themselves are so poetic, and just… GAH!!! I’ve listened to this song way more times than any of the others in the single (to the point where I kinda forgot about all the other songs til a bit ago lol). AAAAAH AND I LOVE THE END WITH THE REPETITION YES YESSSSSSSSS

2. It’s All Futile, It’s All Pointless — TIED WITH MAYBE I WAS BORING HECK YEAH!!! I can’t choose between them :’0 I really really like them both!! The quick strumming is sooooo satisfying to my ears, and the way Wilbur sings in this song specifically is just… yes.

3. For Memories — the big reason I’m not as big of a fan of this song is the plucking bits! I really like guitar-plucking in songs, but I don’t really like the way these plucks sound. Not my style! I do, however, think the lyrics are really sweet, and I love the strumming bit towards the end :D If it wasn’t for the strumming, I don’t think I’d have this song in my library though :0

E-Girl Trilogy

1. I’m In Love With An E-Girl — IT’S SO DARN PRETTYYYYY AAAAAH YES!!! This one has been my favorite out of the trilogy for months and months now, and I’ve listened to it a bunch :D I really like the way Wilbur sings in this song, and I really like the lyrics, and the sound, and the plucking, and the strumming… it’s just a good song!!

Not exactly pertinent to me ranking the songs, but there’s a short behind the scenes video (HE LOOKS SO NERVOUS AKSGAJSGAJSG) and an animation (one of the first MCYT animations I ever saw!) for I’m In Love With An E-Girl that I really like :)

2. Your New Boyfriend — This one’s… sorta nostalgic for me? Not exactly, because I only discovered it a little over a year ago 😅 But it reminds me of first getting into the whole DSMP fandom, so it’s special :) I really really like the backing track/vocals!! It has such a pretty sound, and it’s unique and catchy as well :D I don’t like the lyrics all that much though; if I did, this would probably rank higher than I’m In Love With An E-Girl! (psssst this was also the first song I ever learned on my ukulele)

3. Internet Ruined Me — I don’t dislike the song, it’s just… not my style. I do, however, really really like the bit at the end, with the repeated, “we used to sleep on call together”. GOSH I love that bit.

Edit: okay I’ve been listening to Internet Ruined Me a good bit lately, and I think it’s growing on me :0 Still my least favorite out of the trilogy, but I seem to enjoy it more and more with each listen :D

Your City Gave Me Asthma

1. La Jolla — LA JOLLAAAAAA!!! FOXIE, IF GOLDEN HOUR IS YOUR SONG, THEN LA JOLLA IS ONE OF MINE!!! GAH!!! Gosh, just. Oh gosh. This song. Ough. It is beautiful and deep and emotional and filled with longing and wondering and missing and so many other feelings and the way his voice sounds and the incredible guitar and the static-y telephone sound effects… it’s breathtaking. It’s such a beautiful song. I love it so so much. Oh my gosh.

It is also the only song I’ve ever fallen asleep to XD

2. Jubilee Line — :’( It’s a really stunning song, and it sounds lovely but the lyrics are so sad and the story behind the song is even more sad and just… gahhhhh!!! I really enjoy listening to sad songs, and this one is… incredible. It’s so good.

3. Since I Saw Vienna — YES!!! WONDERFUL LOVELY SOUNDS HERE!!! I’ve listened to this song a bunch this year :D It’s got such a folk-y wandering vibe!!

4. Saline Solution — HECK YEAHHHH I LOVE THE LYRICS ABOUT THE ALARM CLOCK!!! GOOD GOOD SONG!!! VERY SOLID!!!

5. Losing Face — This is gonna sound so weird, but this song gives me major nostalgic vibes; but specifically nostalgic vibes for youth group of all things?? When I was little, I went to youth group/awana at church, and the music that was played there sounded very similar—backing track-wise—to Losing Face! So whenever I hear this song I’m reminded of doing youth group as a little kid :)

Which is a bit strange alsgaksgakgsha because these lyrics aren’t exactly church-y lol

6. Your Sister Was Right — This used to be one of my favorites from the album, but as I’ve listened to the other songs I’ve found myself liking this one a bit less! I still like it though :) The plucking is so cool gosh

7. I’m Sorry Boris — I’m a very sensitive person and the guitar squeaks always make me jump 😭 WHY ARE THE GUITAR SQUEAKS SO LOUD. ORDINARILY I LOVE HEARING GUITAR SQUEAKS IN SONGS BUT THESE ONES ARE WAY TOO LOUD AND THEY STARTLE ME. Ajsgajsgaksgajf other than that, it’s a really pretty + emotional song, and La Jolla’s, “you know it takes a lot to move me / if you figure it out, tell me” compared to I’m Sorry Boris’, “I’ve figured out what can move me” will never not make me <3 :’)

Speedrun Opinions On Extra Wilbur Songs!

1. Diegetic Little Freak — GOSH I LOVE THIS ONE!!! OH HOW I WISH HE’D OFFICIALLY RELEASE IT!!! IT’S SO GOOD 😭

2. Karen Please — this one just sounds good lol. Loooove the chords/strumming pattern :D I’ve learned this one on ukulele actually!! And the lyrics are… interesting! Very very interesting!

3. Screensaver — the lost beloved <3 Dude this is one of the first Wilbur songs I ever heard :0 I used to listen to it a lot. THE LYRICS AND STRUMMING ARE SO GOOD AAAAAAAH

4. Vitriol — Wilbur’s very first original song, if I remember correctly! And- okay. The vocals. Are kinda. Really not good lol WHICH MAKES SENSE!!! IT WAS HIS FIRST SONG AND HE DID NOT HAVE MUCH EXPERIENCE WITH SINGING!!! But gosh it still makes me cringe XD However, someone got that song and made a Lovejoy version of it, and I really like that :D I think if Wilbur wanted to, he could rework the song into something brilliant!! It is truly a lost relic <3

-17. The Nice Guy Ballad — yeah we’re going into the negatives here. This… is one of the very few songs I vehemently dislike. It makes me real uncomfortable :/ And I kinda get that; I know Wilbur isn’t actually singing from his POV, but from the POV of the crappy stereotypical “good guy” in movies. But like… ah. I really don’t like this song. I’ve only ever heard the full thing once and I have no desire to hear it again.

So! *claps* now that I’ve got the rankings out of the way, I’ll give a little list of my Very Favorites from every album/single/etc!!

Ja Jolla, Diegetic Little Freak and White Wine In A Wetherspoons! All my favorites :D Good good songs!
