r/willwood

I already made one of these edits for the first Will Wood concert I went to where Shayfer James was the opener, so now I finished my edit for the show I went to with Human Zoo and That Handsome Devil as the openers. I did my usual smooth transitions and volume normalization to maintain consistency between the songs, but I also did some edits on the individual tracks (ex: Aphrodite, The Unpossible, Charlie's Inferno) to spice them up a bit. Fever Dream wasn't performed at the specific show I went to, but supposedly the Teaneck, NJ show had a setlist that was nearly identical with the exception of that song being removed for our show (it was literally scribbled out on one of the setlist sheets someone posted an image of). I decided to include it anyway because I liked it (it gives me Um, It's Kind of a Lot as well as general ICIMI vibes).

Do I think it's the best Will Wood song? Far from it.

But it still deserves its popularity.

It's much simpler than many of his songs, but it delivers its message very efficiently.

I relate a lot to the lyrics as a neurodivergent girl who learned late how to embrace her femininity rather than hiding from it.

You can learn makeup and how to style your hair, but I still struggle to understand the subtleties of femininity. It's hard for me to make female friends and to grasp all the unspoken rules of womanhood.

It can feel very isolating. Even dating can be difficult.

I wish I could be a girl too, but a lot of the time I feel barely human.

With only 197k listens on Spotify, I think What's The Moon Made Of from the Ealu Soundtrack should have more listeners. It's such a good song to do art, writing, and classwork with! A lot of Will Wood instrumentals in general deserve to be listened to more, like Under A Technicolor Sky from the Camp Here & There Soundtrack. Besides all three of the Announcements as well as Good Morning, Campers!, that song has the least amount of listens in that album on Spotify. For such a pretty song, that's crazy to me!

I have a music research assignment, and I chose to Will Wood. Part of the assignment is to discuss what impact our chosen musician had on music, pop culture, or people in general.

I know the average person isn't likely to know him (my teacher definitely didn't), but I also know he is VERY popular in certain circles (which i am in).

I'm planning on talking about his unnusual lyrics and how he blends genres but I really don't know what else.

Because I am a fan and my friends are fans I genuinely have no idea how popular will wood actually is to the general public or how many people know his type of music.

I'm sorry if this is phrased badly, I am very sleep deprived.
