Thanks for coming to this video y'all! I'm slowly working on posting more content here haha - it's currently in a state of limbo but it's a convenient place for me to chuck some reaction VODs!
Please react to will wood again
There's a new album of him called "in case i make it" which is a marvelous one, knowing you you'll like it
hey, i'd like to let you know lemon demon is pronounced LEH-mon DEE-mon, NOT LEE-mon DEE-mon
omgg pls make a part two
Next is Rät
I/me/myself is basically about how Will was confused about his gender identity since he had the idea that he couldn't be a man if he didn't fit "manly" stereotypes. I actually belive he identified as genderqueer for some time before he realised he was simply a 'feminine' cis man. He also said that the song came out a bit angrier than he intended ("all identities are equally invalid, don't you think that there's a chance that you could live without it?") since he was deeply frustrated with people refusing to accept that he was not trans. While the song resonates with a lot of trans people (and that's fine, everyone's allowed to interpret the song however they prefer), Will is simply singing about his own experience with gender and gender stereotypes as a cis man.
I hate how people aren’t accepting the fact that he’s not trans. Questioning whether you’re trans is different than actually being trans. Don’t tell someone else who they should be. And this is coming from a trans person who uses this song to express that. It means different things to different people, for him it was when he was questioning, for me it’s actually being trans. Both are valid and fine, please respect that
this song resonates with me in a way where I've been also questioning, but I've come with terms with it now, still super good song :)
The song itself is also an absolute vibe for actual trans people but that's beside the point
he once identified as genderfluid, I think. But now identifies as a cis man.
As a genderfluid person myself, I really resonate with it and the idea of dysphoria though I'm well aware that Will's experience with the song and what he was writing about in the song is very different from how I interpret it!
I think it was also written a long time ago, because the original bridge is different from the studio recording bridge (source: played live at the concert I went to where he sang both versions of the bridge), so the lyrics don't necessarily reflect how he feels about gender Now
‘I wonder how much faster he can go’

"SAY MY NAME LIKE A SLUR, BUT IVE BEEN CALLED WORSE YEAH, IVE HEARD IT ALL BEFORE NO THIS ISNT THE FIRST"
This line hits so hard to me
AGREED.
The song memento mori has actually helped me A LOT with my fear of death funnily enough.
I heard it like once on the start of this year and didn't listen to it ever again because of my insane fear of death lol
Same, I felt relieved after
It made me accept death
yeah me too it was so unexpected
@@Bot3CZ same lol. I couldn't even listen through it all the way.
25:54 I always assumed that the use of the black screen after the line ,"One day you're going to die," is so the listener looks at their own reflection in the screen.
Wait that is so cool
Man, I love will wood! I really recommend the songs “Dr. Sunshine is Dead” and “Laplace’s Angel”
Two of my favorites from him.
Dr sunshine is Will Woods best Song
My second favorite of all songs in the world
@@FlexGamerSfm I find it funny when people love Dr. Sunshine because it’s Will’s least favorite lmao
@@carelessdreamer really i always thought he hated to sing it or doy you mean that?
@@FlexGamerSfm Yeah that’s what I meant. He hates when people request it lol
@@carelessdreamer thought cotard's was his least favorite? thats what hea been saying for a while 🤷
The whispering in I/Me/Myself is saying:
"All identities are equally invalid"
"Don't you think there's a chance you could live without it?"
Will’s the lead pianist and singer for his band The Tapeworms. He’s coming out with a new album very shortly. (September 7th I think)
I WAS WRONG IT DROPPED TODAY
AND IT WAS WONDERFUL
@@inayasyed6674 SO TRUE
@@milosslava YEAH
it really is insane how all of will's songs sound so different and distinctive from each other but still so unmistakably him
he's easily one of if not my favourite musician so i love seeing people react to his music, this was really fun :]
favorites if you ever want to make a part 2:
quickfire lyrics, fast and fun:
- blackboxwarrior - okultra
- 6up 5oh copout (pro / con)
- -ish
- chemical overreaction / compound fracture
- hand me my shovel, i'm going in!
fun, not so fast (but can still be fast at certain parts):
- cicada days
- suburbia overture: greetings from mary bell township! / (vampire) culture / love me, normally
- laplace's angel (hurt people? hurt people!)
- white noise
- ...well, better than the alternative
- outliars and hyppocrates: a fun fact about apples
- against the kitchen floor
- the main character
slower but still my favoritetetes:
- tomcat disposables (WOOOOOOOOO my favorite)
- aikido (neurotic / erotic)
- sex, drugs, rock n roll

- skeleton appreciation day in vestal, ny (bones)
edit:
also just other songs that i didnt think about in certain categories but are literally amazing

- 2012
- dr. sunshine is dead
- everything is a lot
- red moon
- yes to err is human, so don't be one
- venetian blind man
- euthanasia
oh that's such a good list, i agree 100%
i got into his music because of a laplaces angel animatic and i'm so hapoy becuase his music is so amazing and unique. though I find it funny how my top 2 artists are will wood and owl city.
How about cotards solution?
Suburbia Overture slayed in every way possible and then murdered my entire family and I said thank you
What about Cotard’s Solution??? It’s fantastic!!!
I/me/myself has been confirmed to be about Will Wood's experience of gender identity, But he is very firmly a Cis Man!
To Quote William Wood himself;
"I, as I’ve said clearly, wholly and firmly support the movement for the acceptance on non-binary gender identities. I myself would call myself cisgender, but I believe it’s incredibly important that we as a society move toward a place where gender roles no longer limit us, control us, and hurt us."
The fact that he’s talking abt singing ability and lyricism but didn’t react to suburbia overture or blackboxwarrior
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUGHHHHHH
UGH i need it.
So real
"he's really showing off that vocal range" *listening to the songs with like the smallest vocal range in his discography*
the way he said "will wood and pronouns" made me lose it
of course you have will wood and pronouns
Of course you have Will Wood and pronouns
Fuck I didn’t notice we made the same joke
of course you have william j wood and pronounce
I went to a Will Wood concert once and a random person airdropped me an image that said “Opinion invalidated- you have hair and nouns”
sometimes he even bops the piano with his foot
The whispers at the end of I/me/myself say “all identities are equally invalid don’t you think that you could live without it” and he just repeats
This song is so relatable especially the lines ‘say my name like a slur’ and ‘get dressed up in shadows one leg at a time’ 😪
Every time I hear this song I’m reminded of my seemingly never ending suffering with being trans
I wish I were a boy…
Hehe
how are you now man?
@@DOCTORWHIMSY no longer suicidal but just as mentally ill- 👍
Making improvements slowly
@@nobodyimportant850 good for you :D
you are a boy‼‼
you should definitely do some more of his stuff!! some of my favorites are blackboxwarrior, cotard’s solution, mr. capgras, dr. sunshine is dead, chemical overreaction, and skeleton appreciation day.
update: forgot song with five names. also, since his new album just came out, i also recommend the main character, vampire reference, and against the kitchen floor.
blackboxwarrior my beloved one of my biggest achievements is being able to sing that song
SKELETON APPRECIATION DAY >>>
Euthanasia is also really good
I love all of themmm and also the first step is one of my faves
i would cry, literally@@Mr.SoggyShoes
Album so good the voices came back 15:05
Lol
LMAO
REAL
will wood really is one of a kind
Fr
Sometimes I’m just going about my day and then will wood takeover my brain and it’s great
I love that more people are discovering Will Wood
But anyway "THIIIIIIS IS NOOOOT ENOOOOOUGH... NOT ENOUGH TO PROVE IT YET!"
@@user-rq9cr2pk4f NO I NEED TO HIT THE BOTTOMMMMMM
“it’s making me happy” every time i listened to that song it would just make me happy for no reason. it doesn’t really do that anymore bc i’ve listened to it so much but i really thought it was just me! glad to know it somehow made other people happy too
Oh! If you like his quickfire lyrics, I’d HIGHLY recommend taking a listen to BlackBoxWarrior - OKULTRA, if you ever intend to do a part two to this :3c
he do be playing piano
*GASP* hi sho how you doing
@@the_shrub_0 hi shrub not much hbu
YES
I was just waiting for him to switch to a different song like thermodynamic llawyer and be slapped in the face with the screaming lmao
Matthew with TNA songs: they're all so different!
Everything is a Lot hiding in the corner:
35:55 - The song at the ending credits all the artists who worked on different parts of the song :D they all came together with their own animated parts in their own styles and its literally so cool !!
As someone who is by no means gender envious or trans: I/Me/Myself is a banger
FRRR
as a person who's been listening to will wood for years it was really funny to see someone's first reaction to songs im so used to
fr lol
It's cool to see a deeper analysis to Will Wood songs by making this a stream instead of a normal video!
Honestly Love, Me Normally at means so much to me, it really resonates with me, and I couldn't even begin to try to count how many times I've scream-sing-cried to it in when I'm alone lol, it just always hits so hard. The meaning in the lyrics combined with the growing anguish in his voice never fails to absolutely emotionally gut me like a fucking fish no matter how many times I listen to it.
my fav songs!!
-the song with five names
-2nd 2ight 2eer
-6up 5oh copout
-hand me my shovel, im going in!
-chemical overreaction
-to err is human so don’t be one
-thermodynamic lawyer
my first songs: i/me/myself and dr sunshine is dead
i would LOVE a will wood pt. 2 ! i know it took rlly long for this but his music is absolutely insane.. especially his first album everything is a lot which u haven't listened to anything from here ! no pressure but here r some songs i would love for u to listen to
thermodynamic lawyer
front street
6up 5oh
laplace's angel
suburbia overture
Ugh I love front street SO MUCG
blackbox warrior too
@@surytrap that ones my top favourite i just didnt wanna put too many options & i wanted him to hear more everything is a lot songs 💗
Hand me the shovel aswellll
i would get a kick out of his reaction (and literally anybody’s) to thermodynamic lawyer
2 songs I would like to see you react to is
"Laplace's Angel" and "Yes, to err is human, so don't be one" I love them both and would love to see your reaction!
Edit: and Venetian blind man! That one is relly good too!
I have always found death rather comforting, never scared of it rather he pain but not death itself, i was so glad when i found Will who felt about the same way
11:30 yeah will's like that. Lots of dark & sad play on words lyrics with super peppy music. You just gotta get used to it. Just wait until you hear suburbia overture.
When he said he was exited for the music video so he could see what will looks like, then you realize he is playing 2econd 2ight 2eer…
Best of luck!!
Since people are recommending more Will Wood songs to check out, I'll recommend some of my faves as well!
*Will Wood:*
-"Suburbia Overture / Greetings from Mary Bell Township! / (Vampire) Culture / Love Me, Normally" (yes, this is all one song! and the range is amazing)
-"Laplace's Angel (Hurt People? Hurt People!)" (this one's such a bop, very fun)
-"Outliars and Hyppocrates: a fun fact about apples" (such cool wordplay in this one)
-"BlackBoxWarrior - OKULTRA" (if you love his flow you'll probably love this one!)
*Will Wood and the Tapeworms:*
-"2012" (again this one's a bop)
-"Cotard's Solution (Anatta, Dukkha, Anicca)" (this may be the song he goes hardest on!)
-"Hand Me My Shovel, I'm Going In!" (SUCH a cool song, adore this one)
-"Dr. Sunshine is Dead" (this song goes along with "Cotard's Solution"; listen in any order but def listen to them both in the same session!)
If you want to react to more of his songs I'd recomend his new album when it's fully released. It has such a different tone from other of his albums but still feels like him. It's like he got rid of his old persona and feels more comfortable with who he actually is
If you ever do a part 2 to this and want to REALLY see his vocal range you absolutely HAVE to listen to Suburbia Overture
You GOTTA do more of will wood songs dude.. especially the more aggressive ones like cotards solution or front street I BEG OF YOU
You should so look at more of his music!! Theres such a vast sound to the music. Front street is my favourite.
Its so interesting to me, sspecially from the album everything is a lot!
Will wood and the tapeworms 💞
I would really recommend ‘cotard’s solution’ it’s one of my favorites and it sort of gives me a liberating feeling and makes me want to scream the chorus with him!
the excited YES!! i shouted when he asked "does he actually play that piano?", WATCHING WILL PLAY PIANO IS AMAZING!
Please do a part 2!
My song suggestions are:
Against the kitchen floor
Willard!
Everything is a lot (not the remaster)
Cotards solution
Venetian blind man
And yes to err is to human, so don't be one
@ZeedooIsCringe Its an album and a song bruh
if you do a part two, i haven't seen ANYONE suggest his song "Tomcat Disposables" yet!
TOMCAT DISPOSABLES IS SO GOODDD
Eh... I actually prefer a cover version more. I don't know, the song just feels nicer with piano and louder instruments. Kinda reminds me of a kirby's epic yarn song in that cover.
i love how most of the most watched fragments is when he stops yapping and actually plays the songs.
The beginning of I/me/myself sounds like something My Singing Monsters, I can't shake it out of my head. (The do wah dubba do wah)
THATS SO TRUE
I'm not old, like we're probably in the same generation, but this comment makes me FEEL old
It’s called Doo-Wop!!!
I am obsessed with will wood. I love himmm
Me too i can’t stop thinking about him hlep
so glad you listened to his music!! if you ever do so again i absolutely recommend suburbia overture, its probably the best example of his range both vocally and in terms of how many different styles and sounds of music he makes
Yooooo there are basically no reactions to WW this is amazing!
I just finished it and as someone who has watched far too many music reactions this is one of the best I’ve seen Id love a part 2
i love that he’s watching the love me normally music video with absolutely ZERO context for will’s rat obsession because he just keeps putting them on the table
If you do a part 2, I suggest 'Your Body, My Temple' and 'Outliars and Hyppocrates (A fun fact about apples)'!!
So here are my recommendations and recommendations that I saw a ton of:
•Thermodynamic Lawyer (basically think petty toxic relationship)
•Cotards solution (ranging more into 'rock' or 'metal' the song goes deeper into rough instruments and thoughts)
•Laplaces angel
•5oh 6up pro/con (everyone I know loves this song, very fast pace, geez he can talk fast)
•Surburbia Overture (think of a song based on a based on a seemingly happy American family in the golden age as the picture of 'perfectness' falls apart)
•Euthanasia (it's sad)
•Tomcat disposables (also sad)
I think it's really cool how you stopped and talked about Memento Mori:The most important thing in the world, and talked about how sometimes thinking about death can be good. I've always struggled with suicidal thoughts and perfectionism, and this song is my favorite because it makes me feel so much better. It's comforting because it always reminds me to not worry as much.
I also just found your channel and think that you are so cool!
We should make him listen to thermodynamic lawyer :3
I've always understood this song (I/Me/Myself) as being gay for a straight man, and wanting to be a girl so that they would be interested in them. There's a lot of references to another person here, and I think that's really overlooked when it comes to lyrics- it sounds like a love song! Probably not a healthy one, though.
didn't realize i'd have an existential crisis listening to this /lh
i'm having a great day👍
If youre really curious how fast will wood can go i insist you listen to blackboxwarrior its one of my favourites
I feel like lemon demon is if will wood met jack stauber, and will wood is if lemon demon mets bo burnem
Will Wood has stated he has no idea why people associate him with Lemon Demon and I would have to agree
@@cartaphilus242 white guy with lyricism the Autism Gays love and a piano/keyboard syndrome
I hope you do pt 2! My favorites overall are
-sex, drugs, rock n roll
-blackboxwarrior
-suburbia overture: greetings from mary bell township! / (vampire) culture / love me, normally
-well, better than the alternative
- laplace's angel (hurt people? hurt people!)
most of these are from the normal album, since that's the main one i like a lot. Also i've been hooked on ur reactions lately lol, i how you look into the lyrics a bit :)
I'm SO glad that you got to the Memento Mori MAP!
More will wood please?
i COULD NOT be more excited for this.. waited so long and im sure itll be so worth it
Please make a part two with suburbia overture
I stumbled onto this video randomly, and though I haven’t listened to Will Wood in a bit it reminded me just how much I love his music :) I was lucky enough to see him live and it was a great time, he’s got great stage presence
no will wood and the tapeworms or in case i make it 😢
Man the section where Memento Mori was brought up kinda really help me come to my senses. Over the past day or two I have been having an existential crisis getting a sinking pit my stomach every single time my mind even considers the concept of death and nothingness. Watching the section of the video helped me realize;
* Its 1 and I should probably go the fuc to sleep (this was true for yesterday night too)
* "Your legacy is not yours to see" surprisingly as an artist that line actually kind of helps
*I'm only like 1.1% more likely to die sooner than the average man so I keep my head down and I live long.(I actually got that an article I found but I was reading the article while watching the video so it counts)
I really recommend listening to Suburbia Overture, Thermodynamic Lawyer, and Dr Sunshine is Dead.
Oh my goodness, I don't know If you will see this but Suburbia Overture is SO GOOD, and I recommend it!
I love how the sign changed from "Open mic night! (insert something i couldnt care to read) to: "Jesus F******* Christ! (Help me i am so f****** scared)
Ahhh I can’t believe I missed this stream lol, been waiting for a will wood reaction for aaaaages
I am so ahppy you reacted i have been requesting will wood for a while
Bro was so happy that they spelled happy like ahppy
PLEASEEEE IM BEGGING YOU: LISTEN TO "Cicada Days" and "Lapace's Angel" PLEASEEEEE
OMG I LOVVEEEEE LAPLACES ANGEL SO MUCH ITS MY FAVORITE WILL WOOD SONG EVER
Will wood spotted
I just went through your channel after watching the tally hall reaction and when I saw you also reacted to Will wood I was _OVERJOYED_
I wanted to watch this man's Reaction to Will Wood's Music, but he pauses the video every 20 seconds, so it's painfully difficult
I love Will Wood’s music so much. The lyrics and the instrumentals are heavenly and there’s a lot of variety. And there’s so much meaning in each song ndjdhfdjkshcjksdhfjkhdsfjknsd
I would absolutely adore if you reacted to more of his music! Will Wood's been my favorite musician for a while, so seeing that you've reacted to his music makes me so happy. I think it would be amazing if you listened to some of his never music, as he's beginning to switch up his style a little. I definitely suggest Cicada Days, Tomcat Disposables, and Euthanasia
My favorite boy!!! I love his music so much
Same
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE
hahahahaha omg i never realised how funny this would be😭i had heard his songs on tiktok so i had some idea what to expect
love your reactions! if you ever do a part 2 i would recommend suburbia overture, it does show off his vocal range (as someone said in your twitch chat earlier). there's a live in studio recording of suburbia here on youtube that i think would make for a good watch :)
marsha, thankk you for the dialectics... is also a good one! this, too, has a live in studio recording
I also like against the kitchen floor and the main character. You should listen to them!
Yes! Will Wood!!!! I really needed this today...💗🧡
The talk in between in so interesting though, Matthew you're intelligent as fuck AND IT'S SHOWING
Part 2 with will wood and the tapeworms please!!
PLEASE DO MORE IM BEGGGING YOU
(OF WILL WOOD)
id be so happy to see a part 2 of this, theres so many more songs to explore by will wood and i reckon youd enjoy his song Suburbia Overture :D
I DIDNT KNOW MAT REACTED TO WILL WOOD THIS MADE MY DAY WHAT
YOU SHOULD REALLY LISTEN TO HIS DR. SUNSHINE IS DEAD
falling up and vampire reference in a minor key are both aMAZING songs btw 🫶🫶
My favorite song from every Album
Self-Ish: Dr Sunshine is dead
Eial : 6up-5oh Cop-out
Normal Album: Laplaces Angel
MEMENTO MORI!! I love that song passionately, it actually helped me with my fear of death
When I comes to memento mori, I don’t agree with the nothing after thing because I’m a Christian but death still kinda frightens me
Great reaction! I only knew one of the songs, will have to check out some more of them!
You should also listen to his band will wood and the tapeworms
@@Aurora.exists Sure!
Lol WILL have to
king if you want to hear real Will Wood Speed i recommend blackboxwarrior - OKULTRA, it's fast and also one of my favorites
Matt, you don't have to do a video about it, but honestly think you would love the I/Me/Myself demo version, it's so good and my overall favorite version!!
Live laugh love will wood
i love i/me/myself so much. i'd highly recommend the main character as well, I love it
YES THANK YOU i love him so much! you should listen to suburbia overture/vampire culture its so wild you're gonna LOVE it
Jesus Christ this is giving me depression. Why is the universe like this. You have the same name as my ex best friend and are listening to music that they loved. Jesus Christ I feel so miserable, I need to move on fuckkkkkkkkkkk
