#wilbursoot #Reacts #Listensto #MammalianSighingReflex
In November 2020, Wilbur talked about making a song about a top-heavy standing amazon lamp in one of his friend's streams. I believe that “Amazon Standing Lamo” is that song. So he probably worked on the album since late 2020
yeah he said he was gonna name it that for quackity
Omg I remember that
Wilbur's actually a big fan of Jack Stauber and used to play his music a lot on stream, so that makes sense
Really? How long ago that must've been...
@@MisterPogmanog times, like 2018-2019 really. before he used to use ynb
He's a big Jack Stauber fan, but I'm the biggest.
I knew that I felt a jack stauber vibe in one of his songs
@@paper4732im biggor :)
will actually made a tweet assuring everybody not to be worried about him and that he was in a better place now (made us such a depressing album he has to assure he was ok😭)
ik 😭😭 and in the 3rd wine stream, Quackity ask's him "so, how have you been" and will goes on for a bit then says "don't worry about my mental health" *20 minutes later* "oh yeah, so I was having a mental breakdown and-" (edit) he can't say something like that and expect no one to worry about him :(
this album hits REALLY HARD like from the album cover to the songs make me feel so sad. for example: the album cover is a reference to the book “The Curious Incident of The Dog in The Nighttime” which is about a teenage boy with autism discovering his neighbours dog being murdered by a pitchfork - now the dog ends up kind of being a red herring and the true meaning of the story is how he experiences the world so differently to everyone else and how he is navigating life with the “loss” of his mother but in Mammalalian Sighing Reflex instead of the boy being the one seeing the murder, it’s the dog (which is a reference to wilbur’s audience) and the boy (Wilbur) is the one who is dead.
The song that hits hardest to me is Around The Pomegranate because it’s implied to be about Wilbur’s late friend and fellow content creator Technoblade who past away last year to his battle with sarcoma cancer. The title itself is a reference to Techno’s love for greek mythology and how the fruit of pomegranate was described as the “fruit of death” which is what Hades used to keep Persephone in the underworld for the entire year apart from the spring months. Pomegranates are also known as the “seeded apple” which is an important story to Wilbur and Technoblade as when they met in person for the first time they both picked apples in an orchard together and he mentioned on stream that it was his favourite memory of him.
“i don’t think it will ever get better” is another one that hits hard as people have realised that he is creating it to be like his twitch chat; they only pick up on the very funny moments or the very sad and almost feels like they mock him. The song is very reminiscent of Bo Burnham’s “All Time Low” which is an inspirational artist of Wilbur’s
It feels more like Bo’s ‘All Time Low’ to me personally but yeah definitely some Bo Burnham feelings from track 4 either way, also reminds me of Jack Stauber
@@TheB-Gilly ah shit yeah it’s that one 😭😭 - i edited it THANXXSSS 🫶🫶
@@lily-zj7inyou are very welcome 🫶🫶
This comment almost made me cry
@@pany1283 OMG NO DONT CRY 🫶🫶
wilbur hasnt said anything about when this album was written (or really talked about the album at all haha) but I wouldnt be surprised if these songs have been worked on since 2020. he had joked on a stream back in nov 2020 about how he was going to name one of his songs top heavy amazon standing lamp, so the album is probably a collection of songs hes written over the past 3 years
i was so caught off guard when he dropped this. it hits close to home and he's improved so much with his vocals. i really liked your commentary on the musical choices wilbur made because i find all these songs having so many layers . huge crywank vibes
The bits in "Dropped Shipped Cat Shirt" where he mentions "how nice it must be, to feel so bored" and needing to "find someone to tell him he's just tired" is based off how he over works himself. One of his friends, Philza minecraft commented something similar, saying that Will is always doing so many things at once. It just shows his dedication really.
the title "amazon standing lamp" (for me) fits the song very well connected with the lyric "a top-heavy amazon standing lamp is the only light left in my life"
Yuh thats the whole point lol
@@_.-Damien-._ i know, i was talking about him saying "the song titles dont matter, the song can be about whatever the song title at the end of the day does not matter" or something like that (5:57)
This album had been in the works for a LONG time, back in 2020, on one of his friends Quackity's streams, he talked about having written a song called "top heavy amazon standing lamp"
The song Around the Pomegranate is actually both about his friend Technoblade who passed away in june of last year and his experience of being on tour this year and how its affected his mental health
*we assume.
I'd argue that Eulogy is potentially for Technoblade, between the imagery of a sick person that won't be here for long and the coughing in the background
But also I think there's little pieces of Technoblade in the entire album. There's lines in almost every song that could line up with Techno and specifically Wilbur's grief around his death. He was definitely thinking about Techno when he wrote this album, even if some of the songs were written before Techno died.
@@TiaGems thats an assumption, though. I agree that he was probably thinking about techno at somepoints, but we dont know that, we’re making assumptions and trying to get the songs to fit it. It just seems weird to me that people are so confidently going ‘x song/line is clearly about technoblade’ when not only do we not have any confirmation, but one of the songs literally mentions not wanting people to misinterpret the songs or try and figure out what he meant. The entire technoblade situation is very very personal, its weird to talk about it like that.
@@charley_warlzz In a vacuum it's weird, yes. But 15 million people are grieving Technoblade, not just his friends and family, so when someone who is just as famous and was very close to him writes an album that features grief and depression very heavily, of course people are going to latch onto it. There's also the fact that earlier this year, a certain youtuber who I won't name for fear of summoning his fans released a pretty bad song that was specifically about Technoblade, which left a lot of people wanting a song from the guy who was actually close to Techno and also an actual musician who knows how to write.
Also the line about not wanting to be misunderstood is right after a line about not wanting to say what he really means. It's a contradiction that's meant to highlight how weird and nebulous and nonsensical his emotions are, which make them hard to process as a result.
@@TiaGems you do understand the difference between fans grieving him and the way his irl very close friends do, right? Its totally fine for people to relate to certain lines bc theyre grieving technoblade, im not saying otherwise. I just mean that trying to theorise about what lines and songs fit what aspects of someones very personal grieving process is weird, in an inappropriate way. ‘This line makes me think of techno’ and ‘this line was 100% written about techno/i bet this song is about techno’ are two very different approaches.
23:27 i actually felt like the beginning part of Melatonin 130 reminded of the intro to Internet Ruined Me!
same!
That’s what i thought!
16:05 i love how you answered and than the silly little voices in the song did too and you just STARED for a second like ‘HUH’
For people who are wondering if Will is alright here is what he said on his private twitter!
"Somewhere in the world right now is a brand new sad boy album I have written and made for you (on the computer!) it is about self-evaluation, exhaustion and maybe a bit of burn-out. Just thought I would let you know I'm doing okay and the album was a great way for me to process and eat up some complex emotions. I hope it does even more for you than it did for me:)I wish I had something profound to say but I am eating a cheeseburger so it will have to wait. have a good listen and Godspeed"
i just came back from a 4 day retreat without my phone and listened to this last night, really tired, it was so surreal listening the first time! so chaotic and emotional
I've been looking forward to your reaction video since the album dropped. And to answer your question, there is a clip from November 2020 where Wilbur says "My new song is called top heavy standing Amazon lamp" So my guess is the album (or at least some of the songs) has been in the works for quite a while.
if I'm correct, I think Wilbur uses his old video clips of his younger self on Glass chalet, so it's really nice to hear
Around the Pomegranate was most likely written sometime after Technoblades pasisng. It talks about california communes and missing what life was before. Not to mention the lyric "I just want to eat meals with my friend". It such a sad song. It hurts alot, but its powerful.
Isn't the lyric "I just want to have meals with my friends"? Or is it friend singular?
@@give_me_spACE if you listen closely it just says Friend. lyric apps are also conflicted on that
I LOVED IT SO MUCH! I already learned and covered 10 weeks rule it’s just so gooood. I’m so excited to see your reaction!
I just checked it out and I really liked your cover!! The guitar sounded awesome and your vocals were very nice :)
I already managed to learn Mine / Yours so we're kinda in the same boat
what's your favorite song on the album?
@@lillyplaysguitareverywhere i go, eggbur foot is there watching me, waiting for me. coincidence? i hope so…
@@cosmicaeris picture the most evil egg laughter
muahahha
@@lillyplaysguitar it’s definitely 10 weeks rule for now but Glass Chalet is a close second! thanks for checking it out, your covers are really nice too
comfort winter album
Wilbur promised us sad boy songs and it's safe to say that he delivered.
This album is so Wilbur and i love it!
This man never fails to move me with his music from literally sobbing at "when your heart finds its place just take a step back and smile when your sat in a better place" to losing my shit at the Bo Burnham reference ("I don't think it will ever end") and the auto tuned bits. I love the chaotic vibe!
it’s such a cathartic album. from the meanings of the songs to the instrumentals to the almost chaotic and desperate way it’s been produced, it’s truly so sad and hits so close to home. every detail has so much emotion put into it, specifically in mine yours and melatonin 130.
I seen the name of this video and went "your not prepared for this"
Just for everyone who is worried if wilbur is ok he posted on his private twitter that he is ok and just likes writing sad boy songs :D
Fun fact: one of Wilbur's biggest inspirations is Jack Stauber! So, you comparing his music to Jack Stauber's is no coincidence, I'd say
“Who hurt you Wilbur?” I need someone to ask me that lol
Hopefully you have some kind of support network to help you. Who hurt you, honey?
Hope you're hanging in there
Personally "trying not to think about it" reminds me so much of the sound of maybe I was boarding/or your city gave me asthma, it has that sound of trying so hard to sound happy yet it has that sad undertone that you can still pick out in the lyrics
for the median the lyrics are “please don’t ask what these words mean, just please don’t misinterpret me.”
This is definitely one of my top favorite albums, and definitely has a special place in my heart right next to YCGMA
It’s so crazy that you brought up jack stauber because Wilbur is a fan of his and frequently flexes the fact that he’s been of fan of him since before it was popular 😭
15:32 the worst part about this is that the albums are not only about how someone hurt him, but about how he hurt someone (the clearest examples imo would be your sister was right and eulogy)
was this comment before or after... yknow?
cuz i used to think the same alot and relate to times i might've hurt people, just to get hit with a train
@Mastermig1705 oh way before, I used to relate to his songs and think about the times I overreacted to stuff or just wasn't the best partner I could've been but knowing what he was actually talking about makes me lose all interest and sympathy for him
Best album of the year for me. So hyped!
Around the pomegranate people are suspecting is how wilbur felt and is about technoblade which is scary especially when the break down goes around the 30 second mark
What do you mean by it being scary that the break down is around the 30 second mark?
@@katiep3820 Because the date the video with his passing announcement was released on June "30th" 2022...
It also mentions June. !!
This is just my idea, but I think that track 4 "I don't think it will ever end" is about how he is in the public eye and how his fans take only the most interestinf parts of his life and roll with it, also the name could be talking about since he is now a public figure with a lot of fans he will forever have attention set on him (I hope this made atleast a lil bit of sense, I cant put my thoughts into words properly)
wow, this album got me hyped- i was jumping up and down when i found out lol
genuinely though, i already know this is gonna be the highlight of my next year and its defo gonna be something I cry to. Wilbur never fails to be random and drop a depressing af album on a random wednesday
Also, i always love your listening videos and your thoughts about the songs, especially with artists i like. cool content man 👌👌
yeah...
haven't watched all the way through yet, but i know for a fact this is gonna get real emotional... def was for me. so exited for this video though! such a beutifull album!!!
On Mine / Yours ,I dont know why but I keep thinking that the beat on it that is a bit muffled is to mimic his heart beating. I really dont know where that thought came from but I just cant get it out my mind
Somebody else mentioned it, but Wilbur is a big Jack Stauber fan! I'm pretty sure he's heard most of his work if not all of it.
Speaking of Jack, he also has a sad acoustic album called "Viator". It's a lot more folky than this, a lot longer, and really really good.
And fun fact, "The Median" is actually a slowed version of "Glass Chalet".
Id say it was written by this year, it mentions a lot of how he wants to feel normal again and that he marries a crowd each day (as like he was talking about tour) and that he hasn't touched the sea in a year (something he used to do a lot before tour, he mentioned it on stream a while ago) but I don't actually know!!
My favourite out of that song has to be i dont think it will ever end. Cuz it sums up my depressive episodes
i thought i'd answer the "who hurt you" question that you've said a lot over the ycgma and msr videos, wilbur was actually in a super abusive relationship a few years back, he's written a lot of his "sad boy" songs about it. plus there's a lot of technoblade mentions throughout the album, who was a dear friend of his who passed away from cancer in june of 2022.
Where were the technoblade do you know
How do you know that ?
@@liljudes in Around The Pomegranate the breakdown being at the 30 second mark (30th june 2022), it mentioning june, technos interest in greek mythology and how the pomegranate is engrained in it, more stuff to that i cant name off the top of my head but you can definitely see the hints
@@_.-Damien-._nah mate I mean when you said about will being in an abusive relationship
@@liljudes I believe he said this in a stream
i love the way wilbur writes i love how he brings in the loving nature of a relationship into a song before and or during describing the self destructive end to it i think it really makes the sad parts pay off more and seem more tragic bc of little context stuff yeah i probably didnt word this well but lol whatever
Tbh I don't know if i should hate or love this guy
39:38 if you listen closely can anyone else hear the heart beat 40:00 or is it just me. I was watching and heard a beat in the background
I think the voice in dancing around the pineapple is Chevy again
We know Amazon Standing Lamp he at least began writing in 2020 because on a stream in November 2020 he spoke about writing a song called Top Heavy Amazon Standing Lamp
Definitely in his Alex G phase atm you can tell
Would love to see your Lovejoy take on Glass Chalet!
Love the vid! love ur commentary in combination with musical knowledge and emotional connection with lyrics. Its always nice to watch. My fav song so far i think is mine / yours, it just hits so much, love it.
great reaction and great album
I dont know if you know this, but there is a nightcore version of this album on Wilburs YT channel, could be worth checking out but i havent heard it all yet so i cant say what its like 🤷♂️
Yes I did see! I have notifications for that channel (and lovejoys) on
at 11:14 you were saying you were curious about when the songs were written, and he's acutally been working on some of them since 2020! there's a clip from a livestream nov 8th 2020 where he talks about working on "top heavy amazon standing lamp".
I’m pretty sure that they’ve been written since 2020 since Wilbur actually talked about Amazone Standing Lamp on stream in 2020
I love this album so much and I listen to it almost every day ;-;
while some people have mentioned him talking about amazon standing lamp on stream a few years ago, i know he also talked on stream to his friend phil in july of this year saying he had a finished album that he planned to drop with no warning or promotion and wasnt going to talk about much after, which is exactly what he did. so most likely he started working on the album soon after YCGMA and finished it around summertime this year.
Iluvya, bro. Thanks for your reaction and your opinion, I'm so happy to see more people listening wil. He's my fav artist right now, and I love he so fucking much. This album is my favorite right now and I'm crying for the meaning of lyrics, his melodies and all album in reality. I'm not english, but I can understand a little bit and I love your interpretation, cause I think, in production terms, in a so similar way. So, nothing, thanks for cry with me, I appreciate it a lot
Ever since this album came out I’ve been waiting for someone to react to it
It sounds very Phil Elverum inspired which is amazing. I thought the Asthma EP was like him too, but this really sinks into that influence and it's a highlight of this year for me
The 1st section of Oh Distant You really reminds me of Grouper (another one of my favourite solo guitarists) as well
(this isn't to say that he hasn't got his own style though)
22:19 I'd love to hear that!
yo lets go! i loved this album sm
FINALLY!! so excited for this

Songs were written since YCGMA I think. There is a clip of Wilbur talking with friends about a song Top Heavy Standing Amazon Lamp in 2020.

*Amazon Standing Lamp*
Hi, it's been a while
Oh, I could stop on by
I wonder if you'll hear this when I'm done
It's gonna be a lot more 'til I'm gone
Waste inside my mind
Bloodshot eyes and empty sheets
It's all downhill, 2013
Ostentatious, Austin, Texas
I get so drunk I can barely see
Hit me now before this gets too cute
Don't make me beg in this hotel room
You'd think it'd get a lot easier without you
But you were right
There's so much shit inside my mind
I must confess the second time
A lot of friends have left my life
Escaping my tractor bеam of woe
One small kiss and off they go
Crying in deep vibrato
Midday missionary
Latе night loathing
Midnight cowgirl
Morning smoking
Me and my girl could go all night (Midday missionary)
My girl's the world, she fucks my life (Late night loathing)
A top-heavy Amazon standing lamp's (Midnight cowgirl)
The only light left in my life
A top-heavy Amazon Basics standing lamp's (Midday missionary)
The only light left in my life
(No, it's not you again, is it?)
*Around The Pomegranate*
Welcome me to spruce-bound Californian communes
These altruistic metaphors my brain force me to misconstrue
In my mind, I'm standing there sunkissed in June
In rapid eye moves, I fall right back to you
I don't want to go
You don't want to game
No one else can save me
There's someone in your walls
Where do you run
When there's nowhere else to turn to?
Hope you were good and watch you-
I haven't touched a bike since last year
I haven't felt the sea
It's pointless point projection
I used to paint these pictures of me
In my mind, I'm everything you said was true
In rapid eye moves, I fall right back to you
Every night I marry a different crowd
Canals of fire, when every voice sounds so loud
I just want to feel normal again
I just want to have meals with my friend
I just can't go through this again
Find my comfort in envisioning the end
*I don't think it will ever end*
*(Spoken:)*
Hey guys
Do you wanna, do you wanna hear something funny?
(Yeah)
So uh, I find myself in these cycles like a figure of eight
And it goes like this
I get sad
(He gets sad)
And uh, I hide myself away for a bit which is, which is fine
But then in hiding myself I feel silly
(He feels silly)
And um, responsively I start forcing myself to go out and interact with people again
Then in doing so, uh, I feel sad
(He feels sad)
Which is not a good feeling when you're supposedly in a good phase
So as almost a self-sabotage, if you will, uh
I get silly
(He gets silly)
And thеn uh, um, I don't know
…I'll write something elsе
*Glass Chalet*
*_(Spoken:)_*
_There's another one that I wrote to the tune of-_
_Let me see how it goes_
I've lost my way
And when this is done
I'm running away
And when I have gone
I'll be where I'll stay
Like a bicycle
And bright blue waves
And I'll shave my head
And forget my name
'Cause I'll kill it dead
Yes, I'll kill it dead
*_(Spoken:)_*
_I'm sorry for what I was saying about you_
_Believe me, I'm being really serious here_
I'm digging up old bones
Use a trеbuchet
I'm throwing stones
From a glass chalet
Hopе it comes back home
Like a boomerang
Hit my frontal lobe
See it set free
I still have hope
But I kill it dead
Yes, I kill it dead
I hope, oh
Between you and me
It sounds horrible
*Melatonin 130*
The melatonin doesn't work anymore
The Valium just stops the hurt
But not the cortisol
If I can teleport from here
I'll choose the Midway Atoll
Or just the space in between your neck
Where it meets your shoulder
But just this once (But just this once)
I'd like to see the world in three-dimensions
Keep wasting 'til you're shed, we keep it simple
The breathing exercises hurt and don't do fuck-all
He said, "The beta-blockers work, but there's a system
The anxiety's not the cause, it's just a symptom"
But I know you
I'll live with you until our bones grow old
I'll still pick you like a scab or a mole
And I'll pull you into a dive or a stall
Ain't that miserable?
Ain't that miserable?
Ain't that miserable?
Help, why the fuck do I still self-sabotage
When I'm finally happy
Oh, oh
Woo, wa! Wa! Wa!
Oh, hey, hey, yeah, yeah, yeah
So it turns out everyone just hopes to God you're failing
And if you claim that you eat my words
Then take this as a warning
Nothing around here fucking works
We're just flat-out boring
We're all apes with a diary book
And corporate reads your pages
_(I've just been doing, like, music and stuff)_
*Oh, Distant You*
I remember it well
Smoked the last of the weed beside your armchair
Said you were tired
You said you need something, need something to hold
So I gave you my coat
You chose to lean on me, lean on me instead
(Oh, oh)
I hate the way that I talk
When the words won't give off
The kind of praise esteemed of you
And what the hell could I say
When you're two stars from grace
And the world turns for you?
I'm just saying, man
If the Lord worked oh so kindly
He could whip me up a clone of you
But I still wouldn't glance
'Cause the thought of someone further
'Cause I'd have to take a month off work
To sit down in the kitchen
And explain all our in-jokes
And teach her all our fiction
And cry with her to Wall-E
And still, I'd fuckin' miss ya
And finally, it hit me
That I was not the fix-all
I was just the villain
And every single modicum of energy
I gave to all the little things
Compounded my placidity
And drove out all the good things
And made life, oh, so heavy
And now I can't wake up and talk to you
Oh, distant you
Oh, gorgeous you
Oh, you

Honestly everything after The Median is boring to me, really unlistenable and boring.
Can’t relate.
