Will wood is quickly becoming one of my favorite artists. He always sounds so desperate and angry, like he's going to die if he doesn't get this song out
I love the attitude at 3:04. Everything from the way he says "my motherfucking business" to the hand motion when he says "This isn't my first anything". It's fantastic.
I’ve been asked within moments of meeting me multiple times if I’m autistic, and I can’t really give anyone a correct answer no matter what because I can’t really get tested, but what it tells me is I’m unusual and people want to know why. This song kind of reminds me of that on a level, wondering if you’re still lovable regardless of how you’re “weird” or how everyone wants to know why you are the way you are when from your perspective, that’s just how you are
People ask me the same damn thing, and I just end up with the same "I am what I should be" idea. I have my doubts that I'm intrinsically different from anybody else because I have the same desires as everyone else: I want to be unique, I want to be loved, I want to see the stars without touching them or touch the stars without seeing them. I just go about these things differently. Sometimes more directly, sometimes indirectly. Everybody's all up in my motherfucking business, but they can join whenever they want to.
i think almost all of them are about mental health and his experiences with that. so they're all deeply personal and will only really make sense if you've been through similar experiences
It's funny I have like 3 artist that do this for me Will Wood of course Mother Mother An Unkindness idk why I like these 3 so much but I do and it's pretty weird cuz I'm mainly a Emo/Punk/Metalhead kinda guy so yeah
only a few artists whom I could listen to forever. Will Wood and David Bowie are probably the main 2, lol. Both of them have songs ranging from just being fun and great to listen to, to songs that have wonderful lyrics that hit close to home for me. Also they're both just great composers in general, haha.
I feel like this song is about someone's insecurity about their neurodivergency or trauma, and how it might leave them incapable or unworthy of love or intimacy. The dark figure could represent either the person in question, or that person's perception of themself. In the first interpretation, that person is being invited in by their lover who would be happier with them there. In the latter, it could be them accepting their own differences and accepting that their 'illness' doesn't mean they have to be deprived of intimacy. Self-acceptance, in a way.
no its about how he pretended to have a daughter for three years because he liked eleven from stranger things. that is why he says "your telling me im holding up eleven fingers. stranger things than death can happen-" he is referencing eleven from stranger things
@@ph1lharm0nic The whole album is full of stuff like this. It's a warping of modern day suburbia. Which means the neurodivergent and gays arent here to confirm but fuck shit up. A lot of the songs are about just finding acceptance and finding out your not sick. But this song is very much about love and those issues.
Fun fact! The animation style in take on me is called rotoscoping, and its when people draw over a video frame by frame. There are a few movies in this style as well, such as a scanner darkly. Im pretty sure the animation in this is also rotoscoping but i dont know (also, cool rat movie icon)
@@ratpatterson8953 It's not exactly rotoscoping in this music video! Basically, Sorin, Will and Chris recorded the live footage. Then, Sorin (the person who animated WBTTA), drew keyframes to each cut of the live footage. Then, Sorin used ebsynth, an AI, which basically (thanks to numerous steps that take way too much time I won't add here to keep my comment short) overlapped the live footage with each of the keyframes, which gave this result! (I hope what I said makes sense.)
Reading through the comments it seems like everyone had different interpretations of this song based off of their traumas… I realized this after bursting into tears after realizing this song is about a parent living the same normal suburban life (noted by the Mary Bell University shirt), and after realizing that they are putting their child through the same shit they went through “what’s so wrong about what’s wrong with me” being an internalization of that. The parent proceeds to sit with the child, play video games, get pushed around in the shopping cart, etc. to finally break the “normal” cycle, as being weird and fun is the opposite of the dull, normal uniformity of suburbia. I’m discovering this about this song after ~30 plays of the normal album and one nice 🌱 💨
That first line, “she’s gonna be a lot like me but I don’t wanna be at all like me,” just reminds me so much of my dad. Trying to get people to see themselves the way you see them is kinda hard sometimes but it’s worth never giving up.
I listened to this after realizing my parents didn't feel like parents, but rather friends that are slowly distancing and losing interest in me. This song is my favorite, and the one that means the most to me definitely. Thank you for this, Will. :)
I feel like Will is a shapeshifter. I mean, he looks SO different literally every time he's on camera-- All jokes aside, this song makes me tear up. Its absolutely beautiful.
I listened to this entire album for weeks after I was dumped from a pretty serious relationship. When my fiance found someone new I felt heartbroken and absolutely destroyed emotionally. The entire album helped repair that broken heart immensely, but It was this song in particular that had a profound effect on me, specifically at the 3:00 mark, when it takes a drastic change. "What's so wrong about what's wrong with me? I'm just trying to do what's right by you" These words helped me recover so much from that and actually motivated me to stop thinking as negatively about myself after the whole experience. Thank you, Will Wood.
me and my ex recently broke up and honestly all of will woods music has been helping me with it plus the fact hes releasing a new album is giving me something to look forward to in the future, thank you will wood
This was the first Will Wood song I heard, and it still hits harder than the rest for me (not to say any of the others are bad, outside of the ones that are basically just noise they're great at worst). It could just be my interpretation, but to me, unlike the rest of their songs, this one is actually somewhat sane, mentally intact. It's the embitterment growing with someone normal. In contrast to the unhinged but still logical lines of thought, this song is about someone who's slowly becoming disillusioned with the world, reminiscing on the past and creating a decidedly illogical ideal, something distinctly nonsensical, yet equally human. Its emotional in a way that hurts harder than anything else, because unlike everything else its impossible to deny. The line "warmer tears than you've grown used to since then" makes me sad every time. A masterpiece.
God, yeah. The whole thing just ACHES with mixed-feelings nostalgia. Knowing that the past is something you can never go back to, but not wanting to let go. Also not knowing if going back would even make things better
you must love in case i make it then. to me this is the song that feels most like that entire album, because it's so much more grounded and calm in comparison.
@@stoopidapples1596 In Case I Make It is my favorite album ever; Against the Kitchen Floor and Half-Decade Hangover are both incredible and Becoming the Lastnames is a perfect song, not to say that there's anything less than amazing.
@@imaginaryboy2000 my prediction was correct! I also love ICIMI, it's probably my second favourite album ever behind hawaii part ii from tally hall, although I also really really love the normal album. both are for very different vibes tho, normal album is very energetic by comparison, but ICIMI is where i go when i want to relax. i made a playlist called chill wood for will wood songs that i could listen to while falling asleep that wouldn't just keep me up all night, and it ended up being 90% just ICIMI and only like 5 other songs from the other albums lmao
lyrics, in case anyone wants it!! i know i do :) [Verse 1] Pink lemonade on autumn bomber coats Peter Pan collars, but my daughter’s growing up She’s gonna be a lot like me But I don’t wanna be at all like me Oh, yellow buzz-cuts, pulling out stingers You’re telling me I’m holding up eleven fingers And stranger things than death can happen To lab rat girls and pretty white rabbits [Pre-Chorus] But everybody knows that, nobody knows that Everybody’s in on everybody’s business This isn’t my first Christmas I know mistletoe when I see it [Chorus] Baby, could you play along with me?

And when we find out what’s wrong with me Could you tell me how, could you tell me how and if I’m still pretty? [Verse 2] Cigarette burns, laugh lines, wide dimples If they could see the future back when times were simple Would they kiss your cheek or yank the bandage off Let you speak or take advantage of how If everyone’s sick, well then, nobody can catch it And if everybody’s different, how could anybody match? And we’re looking through the pockets of the hand-me-downs we laid out Wondering if we’ll fit into the yesterdays we played out [Pre-Chorus] Everybody knows that, nobody knows that Everybody’s all up in my god damn business This isn’t my first kiss, its better to be lost than loved, now, isn’t it? [Chorus] Baby, could you play along with me? Baby, would that be alright with you? And when we find out what’s wrong with me Could you tell me how I’m right for you? Baby, could you play along with me? Baby, would that be alright with you? And when we find out what’s wrong with me Could you tell me how, could you tell me how and if I’m still pretty?

Baby, would that be alright with you? And when we find out what’s wrong with me Could you tell me how I’m right for you? Baby, could you play along with me? Baby, would that be alright with you? After all of that's been done to me, could you tell me how, could you tell me how, could you tell me [Chorus 2] What’s so wrong about what’s wrong with me? I’m just trying to do what’s right by you What’s so wrong about what’s wrong with me? Oh, I’m just trying to do what’s right by you Baby, could you play along with me? Baby, would that be alright with you? After all of that's been done with me Could you tell me how, could you tell me how Could you tell me how?
for me this is kinda about recovery when your first relationship was toxic. i know that's not really what it's about. but the line 'this isn't my first anything' kinda feels like finally opening up about how you feel like all your first times were stolen, or just happened way before you were ready. it feels like the catharsis of finally getting all of the trauma out. thank you for coming to my ted talk
pink lemonade on autumn bomber coats peter pan collars but my daughter's growing up she's gonna be a lot like me but i don't wanna be at all like me, oh yellow buzz cuts pulling out stingers you're telling me i'm holding up 11 fingers and stranger things than death can happen to lab rat girls and pretty white rabbits but everybody knows that, nobody knows that everybody's in on everybody's business this isn't my first christmas i know mistletoe when i see it baby, could you play along with me? baby, would that be alright with you? and when we find out what's wrong with me, could you tell me how i'm right for you? baby, could you play along with me? baby, would that be alright with you? and when we find out what's wrong with me, could you tell me how could you tell me how could you tell me how and if i'm still pretty? cigarettes burns, laugh lines, wide dimples if they could see the future back when "times were simple" would they kiss your cheek or yank the bandage off? let you speak or take advantage of how if everybody's sick, well then nobody can catch it and if everybody's different how could anybody match? as i'm looking through the pockets of the hand-me-downs we laid out wondering if we'll fit into the yesterdays we played out everybody knows that, nobody knows that everybody's all up in my goddamn business this isn't my first kiss it's better to be lost than loved now isn't it? baby, could you play along with me? baby, would that be alright with you? and if we find out what's wrong with me, could you tell me how i'm right for you? baby, could you play along with me? baby, would that be alright with you? and when we find out what's wrong with me, could you tell me how could you tell me how and if i'm still pretty? walking bikes home with a scraped knee sunset smudged across your brow warmer tears than you've grown used to since then a toast to the nosebleed seats and the big dream sequence where you're found guilty of your innocence and gently sent right back to bed everybody knows that, nobody knows that everybody's all up in my motherfucking business this isn't my first anything this isn't my first anything everybody knows that, nobody knows that everybody's in on everybody's business this isn't my first lyric i know exactly how i should finish it baby, could you play along with me? baby, would that be alright with you? and when we find out what's wrong with me, could you tell me how i'm right for you? baby, could you play along with me? baby, would that be alright with you? after all of that's been done to me, could you tell me how could you tell me how could you tell me what's so wrong about what's wrong with me? i'm just trying to do what's right by you what's so wrong about what's wrong with me? oh, i'm just trying to do what's right by you baby, could you play along with me? baby, would that be alright with you? after all of that's been done with me could you tell me how could you tell me how could you tell me how?
the vibes here are p different from the rest of the album, but i like it. it reminds me of a lot of akido or lysergide daydream also did he fuCKING FLOSS-???
You ever find a vibe that hits you repeatedly in the feels and keeps swinging with a different bat? I feel that this is that song. I feel happy, but also depressed and angry with myself at the same time.
Fun fact art is subjective! Derive whatever meaning you wish from art. I hope you two are doing well and deal with whatever problems have been thrust upon you by poor parenting and the overgrown cults we refer to as ‘religion’
(Warning for incoming completely unprompted personal stuff) I can't state enough how much this song resonates with me. It feels exactly like hot summer days with my best friend, before we cut contact because I was "too much". I have my own issues that I'm trying to understand and work through, and while I understand and respect their decision, it still hurt. Among other things, this song feels like a "please wait for me" said to a close friend / lover you've been with for years while you work on understanding and bettering yourself. I'm lucky enough to have people now who accept me for who I am and are helping me while I try to get a diagnosis and develop coping strategies, but every now and then I still think about my former best friend and wonder how they're doing.
Oh wow, I simultaneously really relate to the first part and then got a huge perspective change from the part afterwards :v If you don't mind a little bit of reciprocated personal stuff 6 months after you commented: My two closest friends both asked for alone time, essentially a break from our little 3 person friend group. I didn't really understand because I'm not really emotionally mature (lol) so it's not something I'm used to and just felt super bad. Felt like being abandoned despite that fact that I know it's not personal; just my clingy, separation-anxiety ass overreacting :P. But putting it in the perspective of waiting for them while they get better, as if I'm in the waiting room of a doctor's office feels better for some reason (?). So basically your comment unintentionally made me feel better about my current situation so thanks for that lol
That is clearly his Avatar of Death, you uncultured bufoon. How can you not understand the clear symbolism present here? The nerve of some people, thinking that they deserve differing opinions.
The messy stylistic choices in this video are beautiful and the colors are fantastic. It portrays something that words can't describe. Also, 2:02 is worms on strings baby
The ‘this isn’t my first Anything’ hits like a face to a brick and it’s equal opposite, gosh, I’ve had therapists that survived years of weekly sessions with me who did less for me than this song does.
Like I'm a traumatized foster parent with a lot of trust shit and feelings of never being 'okay' and gender stuff going on... this song just hits too damn hard too often. Also I love the little cowboy twang sound used in the instrumentals here
I kin this song so hard it reminds me of how I use maladaptive daydreaming and such as an escape/distraction from my problems. The last chorus feels like when all my problems eventually come crashing down on me and the never ending cycle of stress and ignorance prevents me from further help
Too me, this song feels like hating yourself and who you've become, yet someone loves you anyway, even looking up to you. You are waiting for them to see you for the horrible person you think you are, and yet, their love is one of the most beautiful, lovely things to exist and you love them, so you exist in this state where you both want them to hate you, and love you forever.
I had one of the most mentally exhausting trips to France ever about 3 months ago. I was in Paris, a city I was not used to, I never knew what was happening and was finally figuring out I most likely have derealization due to my childhood not being the best. and this song was there. just on repeat. it was my only comfort. it was there while I finally worked out the root of all my trauma, and yet I still understand absolutely nothing in this song. whatever it is, it's comforting to me.
This made me and my girlfriend so happy, we watched the premiere and started freaking out. I love your music Will please keep creating moments like this. You're doing great and we love your music.
This reminds me of myself before I truly met my husband. Desperate for just any sort of love; I hated myself for years and gave up trying to make connections until I met him. Thank you for reminding me what it was like and how far I have truly come to loving myself and him every single day.
First of all, I love the music video. It's extremely different from any music video I've ever seen before! I can't tell if it's a filter or if you drew it and manipulated it to a video to make it move, but whatever it was, it's a phenomenal effect. I like it a lot. And the song sounds absolutely fantastic, I will definitely be listening to this a lot until the new album is released. Your music brings my soul entertainment, and for that, I thank you.
@@resident_simon I bet they are patreons. If I was richer, I would be one as well. Will and the band are one of the best things that happened to music lately
don't know if this was a dream or not but I remember watching a video with will wood in it and one of the comments said something like "damn will plays a mean clarinet" and now I wonder if he can actually play the clarinet or not. so
if you watch some of his live videos you can see that his band has tons of cool instrument players :) idk if he himself can play or not, maybe so though??
Bro is it just me or does Will Wood look different in every single piece of media I see him in? In album covers, songs, videos, am I insane? Also love this song literally is my favourite Will Wood song (even though I haven’t listened to a lot of them yet)
i’m trying to get over/decide if i want to stay friends with my ex. it really sucks. i relate especially to “going through the pockets of the hand-me-downs we laid out, wondering if we’ll fit into the yesterdays we played out” because honestly i feel like i want to go back to when we first started, and they went to go back to when we were friends before. but neither are possible. idk why i’m typing this, cause it’s probably just going into the void. but thanks will wood. i have a newfound appreciation for this song.
"For thousands of years a debate has been going on in the shadowy background of human affairs. The issue to be resolved: 'What should we say about being alive?' Overwhelmingly, people have said, 'Being alive is all right.' More thoughtful persons have added, 'Especially when you consider the alternative'" - Thomas Ligotti, The Conspiracy Against the Human Race. (Not a cheerful book, not a book I trust to give me life advice, but it seems relevant here.)
This song has made me cry multiple times and I freeze whenever I hear the first few notes because the chorus is so painfully close to my experience with chronic illness and diagnosis and how I went through it with my ex, it hurts in such a cathartic way and I don't know if this is even coherent but I need a way to say thank you
A lot of the time, I interpret songs to fit my own experiences, which is normal for a lot of people. For some reason, this song is just… practically unfathomable in a way that… I don’t know. Everything about it feels real. I guess to sum it up, I love this song, and it means a lot to me. But I just can’t explain how, or why. And I think that’s just how it’s supposed to be sometimes. Maybe I’ll find a meaning to interpret or connect with at some point, but for now, this art is just here to be explored. I suppose, just to relate to does not mean to understand. Thank you Will.
I just listened to this song for the first time today. I actually almost cried because the lyrics just speak to me. Like "Could you tell me how I'm still right for you" hurt in the way falling in your childhood home does. It was bittersweet like a whole cherry. I'm trying to get better at my own pace but everyone wants me to hurry up and fit into their box of who I should be. Sorry, this song made me do a lot of self reflecting and honestly THANK YOU. I needed to cry and sit down and for the first time in awhile, write in my journal. It's funny, actually, how music seems to open up this unknown area in people.
"will that be alright with you" and "what's so wrong about what's wrong with me" hits me just because I'm lonely for all my life and I asked this question to myself so many times and even doubted if me is me... According to recent news I almost sure that me is not me... My current self is not exactly me, but my disorder. And if and when I'll get cured... Will I still me?
I just want to thanks Will for this song... It helping me every time i feel bad. Every time i feel lonely, depressed, upset and other unpleasant stuff... (I feel stupid of this comment)
most people in the comments are talking about how this song helped them, and it too, helped me get over my childhood trauma that lead into not believing my loved ones cared about me. Whenever I start feeling like my girlfriend doesn't really love me, I just play this song.
Been a fan since the start, and I can remember the first time I heard this song played all those years ago. Just like with I wish I was a girl, love me normally, etc etc. it’s been such a trip man. Excited as always to keep watching you grow.
@@jerzysielicki-baryka9652 *stands up with arms crossed on my chest like vampires or something* bItch you thought ur gonna do something to me *hits you >:::)))*
This song is singlehandedly the only thing that kept me sane over the past few months, through family trauma, nearly losing a family member, and several points where I felt like I was alone. Somehow this one musical cacophony of emotion comforted me more than any therapist or mental health professional could. Good brain food, 10/10
The way the song sounds so happy but the lyrics aren’t and then the song gets EVEN MORE SADDER AS IT GOES!! My friend just introduced me to the song today and I just remember screaming when it got more intense and when his voice started to sound more and more frantic (or at least on the verge of breaking)!
As an autistic person, this song reminds me of suffering through conversations with a certain group of neurotypical people who always want me to be and think the exact same way as them, and now that thanksgivings coming very soon I’m gearing up to deal with some particularly awful ones (my aunts and uncles)🥲
the more i hear from this album the more in love with it i am... this is a really cool variety to the other two singles so far. also the visuals are stunning
I normally don't like writing comments like this because they normally make me feel really sad, but I just need to say that I adore this song, but it makes me cry each time. It hits really close to me, because it makes me think of my first girlfriend, who has been my only partner. We weren't together for long, mostly because she wasn't in a good space mentally and emotionally and was going through a hard time with her identity and family, and I understand that, and of course I acted like I was fully understanding and okay with her wanting to separate. But it being my first relationship that I was so happy about, it hit me like a bullet, since ever since we started dating, I always thought about her and it made my days so much better just knowing that she even existed and was there. But even now 5 months later I still think about her from time to time, and it just makes me cry, but I feel so terrible because it was a month long relationship and I should be way over it by now. Listening to this song for the first time, lyrics like "and when we find out what's wrong with me, could you tell me how I'm right for you" and "could you tell me how, and if I'm still pretty" hit me because I would always think that maybe one day if she figured herself out, then we'd be able to be back together. And all those lyrics that reminisce about happy times make me think about what could have been. I adore your music with my whole soul, Will. Makes me feel too many emotions.
Will wood you saved me from my own delusions im not even kidding listening to BlackBoxWarrior the lyrics "if he was gonna kill you boy he would of by now" spoke to me. Thank you will wood i could've died :)
I’ve mentioned this about Love Me Normally too, but this song also helped me with my isolation for being autistic and how people refused to listen to me

I’ve been asked within moments of meeting me multiple times if I’m autistic, and I can’t really give anyone a correct answer no matter what because I can’t really get tested, but what it tells me is I’m unusual and people want to know why. This song kind of reminds me of that on a level, wondering if you’re still lovable regardless of how you’re “weird” or how everyone wants to know why you are the way you are when from your perspective, that’s just how you are
Omg yes same the whole normal album is just the "possibly undiagnosed autistic" experience summed up
People ask me the same damn thing, and I just end up with the same "I am what I should be" idea. I have my doubts that I'm intrinsically different from anybody else because I have the same desires as everyone else: I want to be unique, I want to be loved, I want to see the stars without touching them or touch the stars without seeing them. I just go about these things differently. Sometimes more directly, sometimes indirectly. Everybody's all up in my motherfucking business, but they can join whenever they want to.

I accidentally left RUclips on and woke up to this playing in my ear. I've never felt so comforted
I feel like this song is about someone's insecurity about their neurodivergency or trauma, and how it might leave them incapable or unworthy of love or intimacy. The dark figure could represent either the person in question, or that person's perception of themself. In the first interpretation, that person is being invited in by their lover who would be happier with them there. In the latter, it could be them accepting their own differences and accepting that their 'illness' doesn't mean they have to be deprived of intimacy. Self-acceptance, in a way.
Oh so that’s why I relate to this song 💀
no its about how he pretended to have a daughter for three years because he liked eleven from stranger things. that is why he says "your telling me im holding up eleven fingers. stranger things than death can happen-" he is referencing eleven from stranger things
@@ph1lharm0nic The whole album is full of stuff like this. It's a warping of modern day suburbia. Which means the neurodivergent and gays arent here to confirm but fuck shit up. A lot of the songs are about just finding acceptance and finding out your not sick. But this song is very much about love and those issues.
as someone who struggles with that, same.
I believe will himself came out to be bipolar, so that could very well be
For some reason this watercolor effect reminded me of the pencil sketches in the music video for "Take on me"
Fun fact! The animation style in take on me is called rotoscoping, and its when people draw over a video frame by frame. There are a few movies in this style as well, such as a scanner darkly. Im pretty sure the animation in this is also rotoscoping but i dont know (also, cool rat movie icon)
@@ratpatterson8953 It's not exactly rotoscoping in this music video! Basically, Sorin, Will and Chris recorded the live footage. Then, Sorin (the person who animated WBTTA), drew keyframes to each cut of the live footage. Then, Sorin used ebsynth, an AI, which basically (thanks to numerous steps that take way too much time I won't add here to keep my comment short) overlapped the live footage with each of the keyframes, which gave this result! (I hope what I said makes sense.)
@@WarmHealerr thats very interesting! Ive never heard of this before
Makes me think more of the "Baby I'm yours" video
Same
every video i see Will in makes me question if he is a shapeshifter
I'm certain he's actually three separate men and a group of rats
Im counting this as a Christmas song
Same😭
Was tryna put it as my Instagram note but it wasn’t there sigh
Reading through the comments it seems like everyone had different interpretations of this song based off of their traumas… I realized this after bursting into tears after realizing this song is about a parent living the same normal suburban life (noted by the Mary Bell University shirt), and after realizing that they are putting their child through the same shit they went through “what’s so wrong about what’s wrong with me” being an internalization of that. The parent proceeds to sit with the child, play video games, get pushed around in the shopping cart, etc. to finally break the “normal” cycle, as being weird and fun is the opposite of the dull, normal uniformity of suburbia. I’m discovering this about this song after ~30 plays of the normal album and one nice 🌱 💨
So epic
U just had a big brain moment fr.
That first line, “she’s gonna be a lot like me but I don’t wanna be at all like me,” just reminds me so much of my dad. Trying to get people to see themselves the way you see them is kinda hard sometimes but it’s worth never giving up.
Very different vibe than other songs but still bops
it sounds like a funky cross between the main character & skeleton appreciation day :p
@@clemclemclemclemcl tbh it sounds like a biiit of "in case i make it / die" slipped by a bit
I listened to this after realizing my parents didn't feel like parents, but rather friends that are slowly distancing and losing interest in me. This song is my favorite, and the one that means the most to me definitely. Thank you for this, Will. :)

I listened to this entire album for weeks after I was dumped from a pretty serious relationship. When my fiance found someone new I felt heartbroken and absolutely destroyed emotionally. The entire album helped repair that broken heart immensely, but It was this song in particular that had a profound effect on me, specifically at the 3:00 mark, when it takes a drastic change.
"What's so wrong about what's wrong with me? I'm just trying to do what's right by you"
These words helped me recover so much from that and actually motivated me to stop thinking as negatively about myself after the whole experience. Thank you, Will Wood.
I'm so sorry that happened to you, I hope you're ok now, and I'm happy this helped. Keep your head up high. It gets better
me and my ex recently broke up and honestly all of will woods music has been helping me with it plus the fact hes releasing a new album is giving me something to look forward to in the future, thank you will wood

Me too
Or against the kitchen floor, lol
This was the first Will Wood song I heard, and it still hits harder than the rest for me (not to say any of the others are bad, outside of the ones that are basically just noise they're great at worst).
It could just be my interpretation, but to me, unlike the rest of their songs, this one is actually somewhat sane, mentally intact. It's the embitterment growing with someone normal. In contrast to the unhinged but still logical lines of thought, this song is about someone who's slowly becoming disillusioned with the world, reminiscing on the past and creating a decidedly illogical ideal, something distinctly nonsensical, yet equally human. Its emotional in a way that hurts harder than anything else, because unlike everything else its impossible to deny.
The line "warmer tears than you've grown used to since then" makes me sad every time. A masterpiece.
God, yeah. The whole thing just ACHES with mixed-feelings nostalgia. Knowing that the past is something you can never go back to, but not wanting to let go. Also not knowing if going back would even make things better
Omg it was the first song I heard too! What I wouldn’t give to hear it again for the first time again lol
you must love in case i make it then. to me this is the song that feels most like that entire album, because it's so much more grounded and calm in comparison.
@@stoopidapples1596 In Case I Make It is my favorite album ever; Against the Kitchen Floor and Half-Decade Hangover are both incredible and Becoming the Lastnames is a perfect song, not to say that there's anything less than amazing.
@@imaginaryboy2000 my prediction was correct! I also love ICIMI, it's probably my second favourite album ever behind hawaii part ii from tally hall, although I also really really love the normal album. both are for very different vibes tho, normal album is very energetic by comparison, but ICIMI is where i go when i want to relax. i made a playlist called chill wood for will wood songs that i could listen to while falling asleep that wouldn't just keep me up all night, and it ended up being 90% just ICIMI and only like 5 other songs from the other albums lmao

[Verse 1]
Pink lemonade on autumn bomber coats
Peter Pan collars, but my daughter’s growing up
She’s gonna be a lot like me
But I don’t wanna be at all like me
Oh, yellow buzz-cuts, pulling out stingers
You’re telling me I’m holding up eleven fingers
And stranger things than death can happen
To lab rat girls and pretty white rabbits
[Pre-Chorus]
But everybody knows that, nobody knows that
Everybody’s in on everybody’s business
This isn’t my first Christmas
I know mistletoe when I see it
[Chorus]
Baby, could you play along with me?
Baby, would that be alright with you?
And when we find out what’s wrong with me
Could you tell me how I’m right for you?
Baby, could you play along with me?
Baby, would that be alright with you?
And when we find out what’s wrong with me
Could you tell me how, could you tell me how and if I’m still pretty?
[Verse 2]
Cigarette burns, laugh lines, wide dimples
If they could see the future back when times were simple
Would they kiss your cheek or yank the bandage off
Let you speak or take advantage of how
If everyone’s sick, well then, nobody can catch it
And if everybody’s different, how could anybody match?
And we’re looking through the pockets of the hand-me-downs we laid out
Wondering if we’ll fit into the yesterdays we played out
[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody knows that, nobody knows that
Everybody’s all up in my god damn business
This isn’t my first kiss, its better to be lost than loved, now, isn’t it?
[Chorus]
Baby, could you play along with me?
Baby, would that be alright with you?
And when we find out what’s wrong with me
Could you tell me how I’m right for you?
Baby, could you play along with me?
Baby, would that be alright with you?
And when we find out what’s wrong with me
Could you tell me how, could you tell me how and if I’m still pretty?
[Post-Chorus]
(You can stop growing up, but you can't grow down
Either way you're gonna wonder 'til you're done and underground
You can stop growing up, but you can't grow down
Either way you're gonna wonder 'til you're done and underground)
[Bridge]
Walking bikes home with a scraped-knee, sunset smudged across your brow
Warmer tears than you’ve grown used to since then
A toast to the nosebleed seats and the big dream sequence where you’re found
Guilty of your innocence and gently sent right back to bed
Everybody knows that, nobody knows that
Everybody’s all up in my motherfucking business
This isn’t my first anything
This isn’t my first anything
Everybody knows that, nobody knows that
Everybody’s in on everybody’s business
This isn’t my first lyric
I know exactly how I should finish it
[Chorus]
Baby, could you play along with me?
Baby, would that be alright with you?
And when we find out what’s wrong with me
Could you tell me how I’m right for you?
Baby, could you play along with me?
Baby, would that be alright with you?
After all of that's been done to me, could you tell me how, could you tell me how, could you tell me
[Chorus 2]
What’s so wrong about what’s wrong with me?
I’m just trying to do what’s right by you
What’s so wrong about what’s wrong with me?
Oh, I’m just trying to do what’s right by you
Baby, could you play along with me?
Baby, would that be alright with you?
After all of that's been done with me
Could you tell me how, could you tell me how
Could you tell me how?
thats the post-chorus??? thank you so much i never knew what was being said there omfg /gen
Even though I know the lyrics I appreciate this beyond belief, so thank you.
Thanks for saving g my life!!
Goddamn, those hit way, way harder when you get everything
Could you tell me how? Could you tell me how...?
...Could you tell me how...
for me this is kinda about recovery when your first relationship was toxic. i know that's not really what it's about. but the line 'this isn't my first anything' kinda feels like finally opening up about how you feel like all your first times were stolen, or just happened way before you were ready. it feels like the catharsis of finally getting all of the trauma out.

Thanks for making me cry, Mr. Wood
This song is like when you try to write a simple letter or post and all the feelings you didn't think you still had spill out
(Warning for incoming completely unprompted personal stuff)
I can't state enough how much this song resonates with me. It feels exactly like hot summer days with my best friend, before we cut contact because I was "too much". I have my own issues that I'm trying to understand and work through, and while I understand and respect their decision, it still hurt. Among other things, this song feels like a "please wait for me" said to a close friend / lover you've been with for years while you work on understanding and bettering yourself. I'm lucky enough to have people now who accept me for who I am and are helping me while I try to get a diagnosis and develop coping strategies, but every now and then I still think about my former best friend and wonder how they're doing.
Oh wow, I simultaneously really relate to the first part and then got a huge perspective change from the part afterwards :v
If you don't mind a little bit of reciprocated personal stuff 6 months after you commented: My two closest friends both asked for alone time, essentially a break from our little 3 person friend group. I didn't really understand because I'm not really emotionally mature (lol) so it's not something I'm used to and just felt super bad. Felt like being abandoned despite that fact that I know it's not personal; just my clingy, separation-anxiety ass overreacting :P. But putting it in the perspective of waiting for them while they get better, as if I'm in the waiting room of a doctor's office feels better for some reason (?).
So basically your comment unintentionally made me feel better about my current situation so thanks for that lol

The ‘this isn’t my first Anything’ hits like a face to a brick and it’s equal opposite, gosh, I’ve had therapists that survived years of weekly sessions with me who did less for me than this song does.
Like I'm a traumatized foster parent with a lot of trust shit and feelings of never being 'okay' and gender stuff going on... this song just hits too damn hard too often.
Also I love the little cowboy twang sound used in the instrumentals here
I kin this song so hard it reminds me of how I use maladaptive daydreaming and such as an escape/distraction from my problems. The last chorus feels like when all my problems eventually come crashing down on me and the never ending cycle of stress and ignorance prevents me from further help
Too me, this song feels like hating yourself and who you've become, yet someone loves you anyway, even looking up to you. You are waiting for them to see you for the horrible person you think you are, and yet, their love is one of the most beautiful, lovely things to exist and you love them, so you exist in this state where you both want them to hate you, and love you forever.
I had one of the most mentally exhausting trips to France ever about 3 months ago. I was in Paris, a city I was not used to, I never knew what was happening and was finally figuring out I most likely have derealization due to my childhood not being the best. and this song was there. just on repeat. it was my only comfort. it was there while I finally worked out the root of all my trauma, and yet I still understand absolutely nothing in this song. whatever it is, it's comforting to me.
This made me and my girlfriend so happy, we watched the premiere and started freaking out. I love your music Will please keep creating moments like this. You're doing great and we love your music.
I at first thought the credits read: "Mario Conte: Drugs" and didn't even second guess it.
they we're ALL definitely on drugs while making this
This reminds me of myself before I truly met my husband. Desperate for just any sort of love; I hated myself for years and gave up trying to make connections until I met him. Thank you for reminding me what it was like and how far I have truly come to loving myself and him every single day.
I introduced my great grandma to you and your band, and she absolutely loves you guys
First of all, I love the music video. It's extremely different from any music video I've ever seen before! I can't tell if it's a filter or if you drew it and manipulated it to a video to make it move, but whatever it was, it's a phenomenal effect. I like it a lot.
And the song sounds absolutely fantastic, I will definitely be listening to this a lot until the new album is released.

The image of will silently playing his Atari in a dark room while the robed figure hides in the dark is haunting.
i’m trying to get over/decide if i want to stay friends with my ex. it really sucks. i relate especially to “going through the pockets of the hand-me-downs we laid out, wondering if we’ll fit into the yesterdays we played out” because honestly i feel like i want to go back to when we first started, and they went to go back to when we were friends before. but neither are possible. idk why i’m typing this, cause it’s probably just going into the void. but thanks will wood. i have a newfound appreciation for this song.
"For thousands of years a debate has been going on in the shadowy background of human affairs. The issue to be resolved: 'What should we say about being alive?'

This song has made me cry multiple times and I freeze whenever I hear the first few notes because the chorus is so painfully close to my experience with chronic illness and diagnosis and how I went through it with my ex, it hurts in such a cathartic way and I don't know if this is even coherent but I need a way to say thank you
nothing will ever be the same. get jiggy with it
this video make me cry and dance at the same time
So many of Will's songs are like that, I and love that so much.
Fr.
A lot of the time, I interpret songs to fit my own experiences, which is normal for a lot of people. For some reason, this song is just… practically unfathomable in a way that… I don’t know. Everything about it feels real. I guess to sum it up, I love this song, and it means a lot to me. But I just can’t explain how, or why. And I think that’s just how it’s supposed to be sometimes.
Maybe I’ll find a meaning to interpret or connect with at some point, but for now, this art is just here to be explored. I suppose, just to relate to does not mean to understand. Thank you Will.
Seeing will wood doing the floss changed my perception of life
I just listened to this song for the first time today. I actually almost cried because the lyrics just speak to me.
Like "Could you tell me how I'm still right for you" hurt in the way falling in your childhood home does. It was bittersweet like a whole cherry.
I'm trying to get better at my own pace but everyone wants me to hurry up and fit into their box of who I should be. Sorry, this song made me do a lot of self reflecting and honestly THANK YOU. I needed to cry and sit down and for the first time in awhile, write in my journal. It's funny, actually, how music seems to open up this unknown area in people.
"will that be alright with you" and "what's so wrong about what's wrong with me" hits me just because I'm lonely for all my life and I asked this question to myself so many times and even doubted if me is me... According to recent news I almost sure that me is not me... My current self is not exactly me, but my disorder. And if and when I'll get cured... Will I still me?

This song is singlehandedly the only thing that kept me sane over the past few months, through family trauma, nearly losing a family member, and several points where I felt like I was alone. Somehow this one musical cacophony of emotion comforted me more than any therapist or mental health professional could.

cried to this yesterday. 10/10
This is one the few songs that makes me sad and happy at the same time
As an autistic person, this song reminds me of suffering through conversations with a certain group of neurotypical people who always want me to be and think the exact same way as them, and now that thanksgivings coming very soon I’m gearing up to deal with some particularly awful ones (my aunts and uncles)🥲
That's a whole mood.
Good luck dealing with them pal ^^;
Good luck from a fellow ND fella
the more i hear from this album the more in love with it i am... this is a really cool variety to the other two singles so far. also the visuals are stunning
I normally don't like writing comments like this because they normally make me feel really sad, but I just need to say that I adore this song, but it makes me cry each time. It hits really close to me, because it makes me think of my first girlfriend, who has been my only partner. We weren't together for long, mostly because she wasn't in a good space mentally and emotionally and was going through a hard time with her identity and family, and I understand that, and of course I acted like I was fully understanding and okay with her wanting to separate. But it being my first relationship that I was so happy about, it hit me like a bullet, since ever since we started dating, I always thought about her and it made my days so much better just knowing that she even existed and was there. But even now 5 months later I still think about her from time to time, and it just makes me cry, but I feel so terrible because it was a month long relationship and I should be way over it by now. Listening to this song for the first time, lyrics like "and when we find out what's wrong with me, could you tell me how I'm right for you" and "could you tell me how, and if I'm still pretty" hit me because I would always think that maybe one day if she figured herself out, then we'd be able to be back together. And all those lyrics that reminisce about happy times make me think about what could have been. I adore your music with my whole soul, Will. Makes me feel too many emotions.
This Is a work of art
Will and the shadow man we're just vibe'n at the end of that
anyb know what the shadow man symbolizes?
@@lagwhosthat6168 i have no i fucking dea what that guy symbolizes
@@flickafire8145 maybe hes just there to play some mario kart. maybe he symbolizes death and depression? probably the first.
@@lagwhosthat6168 Definitely the first. And Churchill lived with a black dog because he just really liked dogs.
Will wood you saved me from my own delusions im not even kidding listening to BlackBoxWarrior the lyrics "if he was gonna kill you boy he would of by now" spoke to me. Thank you will wood i could've died :)
I’ve mentioned this about Love Me Normally too, but this song also helped me with my isolation for being autistic and how people refused to listen to me
...well, the best thing that i have ever seen
This song made me cry. I love this song
This song encouraged me to continue liking and loving life
i know there’s a deeper meaning here i’m too lazy to look into but what i’m picking up here is that will & shadow man have some killer moves
Ok so totally a big mental illness mood but listening to this with an undiagnosed physical ailment that's eating me alive got me in tears
helps with my family issues
