wilbur - Stuck on the Puzzle (Alex Turner cover)

EXTRAS: @LVJYetc

Drums and recording/mixing by Mark Boardman
Performance, keys and guitars by me

While walking around Tokyo in the most dank and stark humidity I found this spot on a junction near a 7/11 with a couple benches and a grave commemorating someone's dead goldfish. As I went to start filming a tropical storm rolled in and I had to hide in that 7/11 for about an hour while it cleared up. This song has been one of my favourite pieces of Turner's writing for about 5 years now and it's been a pleasure to record it for you
Put a comment with any covers you'd like to see from me. I'm currently queueing up to record a BCNR cover :)

Hope Wilbur comes back to YouTube. Really think he’s misunderstood. Maybe I’m wrong and just wish for will to come back

[Atercity]

Thanks Wilbur. Still not super sure how to feel but I’m glad you’re alive. This cover is truly something special. Be proud.

[Umbreo-zi]

I love these covers. It’s so amazing to hear you again, and I hope you publish these on music streaming apps so I can listen to them more. Probably on repeat, forever. Fuck the controversy, I love the music and miss the laughter.

Literally the only things i used to care about were arctic monkeys, submarine and wilburs singing streams back in like 2020. This really hit the spot.

Aw the fish grave. I have a fish grave for my fighting fish too. (I didn't use it to fight, it's a pretty little fish. It died from a bug dropping into the tank and killed it.)

[IvieLinamares]

I have mixed feelings about you Wilbur. Having to look up to your idol and was told he was abusive hurts considering i also use to be so young watching you. But now seeing you again feels like a bitter sweet feeling. I dont hate you but i dont support you. I dont like you but im also glad youre alive.

If you really were abusive, i hope you changed for the better. I hope everything comes to past. I just hope you wont disappoint us for a second time.

Recently, I was diagnosed with depression being only or as young as sixteen. I'm feeling uneasy with myself. I can not stand myself - changing from an extrovert to a person, who can't get out of bed to talk with psychologist or even own parent. In late 2019 I found a lot of comfort in your creativity and then in your writing. Returning to your music takes me back a bit to a time before this disease took over me. I'm really thankful for you, realising new kind of sounds, which feels like I'm still here, somewhere in my head. Everyone struggling - hope you will find peace again being yourself.

I’m sick and everything hurts,
Seeing my comfort streamer when I used to be sick and stuck at home during the pandemic really hit the spot especially when life’s been full of bullshit

[Atushibangs]

…damn no matter what I keep going back to 2020 when I was locked in my room watching DSMP & listening to your music

[ItzJustEli]

This was the last thing i expected to get a notification for- Glad you're still singing Wilbur :D

[GHSTBR]

Hey Wilbur :’) I doubt you’ll see this comment as you’re a very busy person, but I have been struggling a lot. Mostly with family and such, I won’t get too into it. Honestly this video has helped me through a lot already, so thanks Wilbur, for everything you do and everything you’ve done. I don’t know if I’ll be around long enough to make another comment, so I wanted to write this while I can. Thank you Wilbur soot, I wouldn’t be the person I am today without you.

he looks like that tall british boy from lovejoy (edit: thanks for the likes ;3)

[thaoser]

Every time this man just pops up out of nowhere and goes, "Hi!" "Bye!"
And after 2 years, he comes out of his rusty dusty cave again with this banger

[Saturn.]

Wilbur is back!! I had a terrible day, it was my dad’s funeral…but I feel better seeing you back again Will. I missed you ❤

[ikyyntts]

we're glad to see you still doing what you enjoy

thank you and we'll see you in november!

[shilohmartin]

I’m sat here just sobbing. I’ve missed you in a way that aches deeply. As a person you’ve been instrumental to me, I looked up to you, you inspired me to play guitar again and sing. It’s so bittersweet. I don’t know how I feel anymore but I’m just really glad you’re okay Wilbur. Thank you for being okay.

[Astro_Matic]

Well, if it isn't my favourite musician from the British lands! Glad to see you smiling, King; keep up the good work, and never let anything stop you from creating or doing what you love! 💪😺 🎉

lyrics:

i’m not the kind of fool
who’s gonna sit and sing to you
about stars, girl.
but last night i looked up into
the dark half of the blue
and they’d gone backwards.

something in your magnetism
must’ve pissed them off,
forcing them to get an early night
and i have been searching
from the bottom to the top,
for such a sight
as the one i caught
when i saw your fingers, dimming the light.
like you’re used to being told that youre trouble.
and i’ve spent all night,
stuck on the puzzle..

nobody i asked knew
how you came to be the one whom
you surrendered
any man who wasn’t led away
into the other room
stood pretending

something in your magnetism
hadnt just made him drop
whoever’s hand that he was holding
i have been searching
from the bottom to the top
for such a sight
as the one i caught
when i saw your fingers dimming the light.
like you’re used to being told that you’re trouble.
and i spent all night
stuck on the puzzle..
and i tried to swim to the side
but my feet got caught in the middle
and i thought i’d seen the light
but oh, no.
i was just stuck on the puzzle..
stuck on the puzzle..
stuck on the puzzle (oh, woah, woah)
stuck on the puzzle

[Nightro-Fx]

Please never quit music, I can tell alot of passion is put into your music. I plan to getting a gitar in the future cause u inspired me.

[Dontknowwhen-oy]

IM ACTUALLY CRYING THIS WAS SO UNEXPECTED.
