Can confirm. It's a nightmare having to deal with my computer telling me I'll never take it alive when I'm trying to save my research to get to the bottom of this.
I love that almost every song in this band has a moment that refers to another/previous song, just like this one has beat from Mr Sunshine is Dead, and Mr Sunshine is Dead has fragment from Cottards' solution
I know this song is about capgras delusion but it sorta sounds like it’s about someone with a people pleasing complex in some parts like the “another man wearing your face” is like changing your personality for another persons praise
It would suit someone who is good at disguises and impersonation. So good in fact, that he forgets his true identity, and cycles through old acts as he struggles to find his true self and becomes increasingly erratic and unstable. Perhaps he commits a murder or two as reality meets fantasy and he can't cope, and he as his cop identify slowly figures out he is the killer. Kind of Fight Club, a Scanner Darkly, and that one episode of Criminal Minds in a blender. Twist ending is optional, I think the drama alone could carry it. Hope this helps :)
when i first listened this song i heard the “ur trying to replace urself.” and thought it was like a random voice sample or something. SO when he started actually singing in that voice it cauhgt me so off guard 😥😥😥
God, the mix of Hand Me My Shovel, Im Going In really caught me off guard, but lord was it welcomed. This dude is an insane scientiest in the field of music
@@recyclingbin7426no because will is just such a gay/trans icon, not in the way that he is gay/trans but in the way that he is an icon among the community 💀
kind of unrelated, but you’re literally how i discovered will wood’s music ç.ç like- he’s quickly become my favorite artist and i dont listen to (pretty much) anything else anymore
@@indythechaos1634 for me it was Dr Sunshine is Dead. I must say I discovered Will Wood thanks to Twisted Doctor's animations and I'm so glad I decided to give Will's music a chance last year, because now he's literally my number one artist lol I just can't ger enough of this man.
love the fact that some will wood songs tease other songs. for example 3:13 back ground vocals clearly relate to hand me my shovel and if im correct hand me my shovel near the end of the song plays the instrumental intro for dr sunshine is dead
You can actually string together Capgras, Sunshine and Cotard's (in this exact order), the instrumental section of Capgras is pretty much the same as Sunshine's meaning you can put it right before either of "when did I become afraid of the dark" sections. Sunshine straight up has Cotard's intro in the end
That’s what I love about this album. Everything feels so cohesive. Was so cool finding how many songs had lyrics from Hand Me My Shovel. And even aside from that, Dr Sunshine and Cotard’s Solution share a verse, and of course Self- and -Ish needs no explanation.
Personally i think its more about Will (presumably the protagonist) losing his identity in 2012 (self-/2012) and going on a journey to search for it through planning to kill himself so everybody else can remember who he was (cotards solution) looking at other peoples identities and the possibility of being an imposter of himself (mr capgras) and going insane trying to dig deeper (the song with five names/hand me my shovel) he then attempts to create a new identity for himself to avoid total insanity (dr sunshine) but then suddenly remembers who is (-ish)
Will Wood has literally been the only thing keeping me alive throughout highschool. I still remember the night where I was literally about to just give up and just drop my math classes because the deadline was that morning, and it was already 5AM (bonus points on the fact that I'd already been up for like.. a day then) ..But then fucking Mr. Sunshine is Dead just suddenly started blaring from my phone, and somehow managed to reactivate the adrenaline boost I was living off of, and I powerhoused through it. Sure I didn't get any sleep. And sure, my teacher saw when I submitted it, and grew deeply concerned with my mental health. And sure, after getting home, I promptly passed out on the floor and terrified tf out of my little brother because he thought I'd died.. But it was defo worth it. I even got an A at the end of the semester, lol.
Everyone talking about capgras syndrome but let me tell you about tulpamancy. Tulpamancy is forcing an identity to become real by spiritual force. There's a lot to it but there's definitely stuff in here about alternate identities
@@phantomaeon No, some dumbass just used the name. The practice is different. There's a lot of info and research done on it in the #Reddittulpas server I can't send links through RUclips, so you will have to check it out there.
Damn you, Will Wood. You make such good music that I dislocated my right kneecap dancing to your music. Edit: slight correction on the injury, I TORE the muscle surrounding my kneecap. I didn't dislocate it.
I hope you are ok, and also apparently will succeeded in being the lichen coated boulder that makes you slip and bust your knee cap. Very sorry friend! Feel better :)
we learned about capgras delusion in my neuroscience class (as well as prosopagnosia caused by damage to the fusiform gyrus), so i had so much fun listening to this song during that unit LOL
"Carving out a fact from a reckoning, beckoning you back, skin sagging off its skeleton, levitating off the ground, is another man wearing your face," is a surprising accurate description of the anglerfish
every time i hear this song i am plagued by the music video because for some reason i was able to find it on some random music news website even though it's not on youtube anymore
He decided to pull it off the internet for personal reasons. I’ve found it in a couple of places because it’s one of my favorite videos ever, but I keep it on the dl so they don’t disappear.
Wow what an amazing song to use for a show about a character constantly running into others that physically resemble him all while having internal trauma about a near death experience he had and trying to prevent a fascist dictator from finding an heir. Too bad I'll never get to make that. Or have the money to pay Will to use this
Really?! I'm guessing Bo Burnham is too busy playing with his dad and a stereotypical white guy from 1985 on the Internet while stuck in his room to notice the song.

I’m having such a hard time carving out and idea for a character when it comes to this song, but I’ve been piecing it together through this
It would suit someone who is good at disguises and impersonation.

@@jaredoverstreet1083best part of the song ngl
Theory:
The entirety of Will Wood's album Self-ish is just him trying to hunt down a skinwalker.
Personally i think its more about Will (presumably the protagonist) losing his identity in 2012 (self-/2012) and going on a journey to search for it through planning to kill himself so everybody else can remember who he was (cotards solution) looking at other peoples identities and the possibility of being an imposter of himself (mr capgras) and going insane trying to dig deeper (the song with five names/hand me my shovel) he then attempts to create a new identity for himself to avoid total insanity (dr sunshine) but then suddenly remembers who is (-ish)

Everyone talking about capgras syndrome but let me tell you about tulpamancy. Tulpamancy is forcing an identity to become real by spiritual force. There's a lot to it but there's definitely stuff in here about alternate identities
Aren't Tulpas basically just "fake it till you make it" hallucinations?
@@toolatetothestory For some people. In my experience I accidentally made a Tulpa before I even knew what they were. Lmao
@@sarcophiliac So a normal hallucination? XD
Just teasing x3
Slight correction: most tulpamancers view it in a psychological model, but some use spiritual ones.
ok but what's prosopagnosia?
...so what I'm gathering is that it's risky to make a Tulpa.
Not unless you do something stupid, like trying to replace yourself.
As someone with 7 tulpas, it is not risky unless you abuse your tulpa or, as the song states "replace yourself". Hope that helps lol
