Johnnie started out making YouTube videos with Bryan Stars when he was 16. They met through Johnnie working as Bryan's merch guy. He is in the collab channel "Our World Away" which is currently on a hiatus. He dated Alex Dorame.
Johnnie grew up in San Jose, in California with his mom, brother, and sister. His dad passed away on December 7, 2010, because of cancer. This was the first part of his depression.
Johnnie struggled a lot in school because of his having dyslexia, and for getting bullied for dressing differently than the others. He went to therapy for about four years, three days a week after his dad passed away. The therapists used to always check his weight, thinking he was way too skinny.
He went to three different institutions, staying there for a week each; one of them he found scary and out of hand. Johnnie was suicidal during these four years, but he kept on going and eventually got better.
Not so Perfect was Johnnie's first EP, consisting of five different songs with one of the songs featuring musician Catching Your Clouds. The EP was available on the 27th of November, 2015 and was recorded at Talent Shoppe Records.
Lost was Johnnie's second EP, consisting of six different songs with one of them being his smash hit "My Mind". Two other popular songs from it are "Mess Up" and "Someone So Damn Amazing". The EP was available on the 28th of October, 2016.
We're Gonna Need A Bigger Boat is an EP made by Johnnie's new band Til Death Do We Part... This album had 5 songs. The EP was available on the 13th of October, 2017.
I Could Sleep Here, I Could Die Here is Johnnie's first full-length album. It has 8 songs. The album has the single "Afraid" and has four music videos. This album was available on July 6, 2018.
He released two singles (Lost My Sanity and Poison) throughout 2019, and has released three so far in 2020 (Welcome To Hell, Miss You, and One & Only).
Goodnight
Johnnie Guilbert Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As the fear slowly takes a part of me
I hope you see a different side of me
As I leave, as I say goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight
As I say goodnight
It's gettin' dark, I've been stuck under the weather
I need a spark, I don't think that I'll get better
I hope you see a different side of me
As I leave, as I say goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight
As I say goodnight
I've been cool to be like a fool
Lookin' around the wrong side of town
Obligated to lie, you'll never see for the broken dreams of society
Goodnight, goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight
As I say goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight
As I say...
(Goodnight, goodnight)
(Goodnight, goodnight)
Goodnight, goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight
As I say goodnight
The lyrics to Johnnie Guilbert's song "Goodnight" speak to a sense of despair and resignation, as the singer contemplates their own mortality and the impact of their life on those around them. The opening lines, "If I die here, bury me and everything I leave / As the fear slowly takes a part of me," suggest a sense of hopelessness and a willingness to let go of everything. The fear that is taking a part of the singer could refer to feelings of anxiety or depression, which are common themes in Guilbert's music.
The chorus, "I hope you see a different side of me / As I leave, as I say goodnight / Goodnight, goodnight" suggests that the singer wants to be remembered in a positive light, despite their struggles. The repetition of "goodnight" emphasizes the finality of death and the idea that the singer is saying goodbye to the world. The second verse, "It's gettin' dark, I've been stuck under the weather / I need a spark, I don't think that I'll get better" continues the theme of feeling trapped and hopeless, but also suggests a desire to find some kind of hope or inspiration.
Overall, the lyrics to "Goodnight" are deeply personal and speak to Guilbert's own struggles with mental health and a sense of isolation. The song can be interpreted as a cry for help, but also as a message of hope to those who may be struggling with similar issues.
