The miracle of Will Wood is that every now and then you come across a video that is several years old with less than 10k views, and he looks wildly different every time
Nothing like listening to an eight year old video of Will Wood and hearing a piano solo from an old song that turned into the entirety of The Main Character
this video always makes me emotional because he clearly had so much talent back then and yet he didn't even half the recognition that he has now, I'm so proud of him
It also turned into The Main Character, i have a unlisted video someone uploaded of the song and there's a bit that sounds literary the same as Man, I Love Being Drunk
I keep seeing you on these videos, and it’s weirding me out but is also kind of comforting that I’m not the first or last to go down this fantastic rabbit hole

I love that this concert happened before any of his tapeworms albums dropped. nobody really knew him or that most the songs he played would become beloved classics
something i like abt the first song is how much hes grown as a person in the past seven years. like seeing him heal over time even if ive only known about him for like three years is kind of nice
Wild that this is the only version of I'll Never Amount to anything still around. It's such a good song, but I get why he wouldn't want to perform it anymore
@@imp-tweekakarainbow_washov8991 Based on his latest single and the stuff hes talked about for his upcoming album, Id say its too doomer for what hes trying to do and say these days. Its a song thats clearly written from a dark place full of despair, which is why it resonates with a lot of people, but Wood clearly is trying to get away from that, at least partially
what a fucken life ted has lived, first body image issues in his teens, hides his problems in drugs and then gets into an abusive relationship .. all for it to end with the storyteller just to leave the stage im emotional
@@cinguloapathy Smoothly rounded, with no mouth, with pulsing white holes filled by fog where his eyes used to be. Dumbly, he shambles about, as the chemical bonds fall apart :)

@@racecar3333 The actual title is "Another Song About How Bad I Am At Life" but I can't find it anywhere but here. I believe there were other videos of Will performing it but they have since been taken down
Lysergic Dream is my favorite song off of Everything's a Lot; to deteriorate directly into Thermodynamic Lawyer the way he did is such big hutzpah energy
anyone remember that one deleted live performance where will was at an Inn? Honestly i just wanna hear that really old version of Laplaces Angel again where he starts off with "Jenny was a dominatrix, who couldnt walk in high heels"
The lyric change in this version of Skeleton Appreciation Day where "so ana stands and rends the rancid meat" is "so rip toff and please show me" is interesting (ik it's just an old version of the song btw, not a change). The Ana lyric is much more personal and somewhat dark as it being a direct reference to a struggle with anorexia however with the lyrics in this one it gives the song more of a meaning of just a general struggle with body dysmorphia. Will has said that the song can be interpreted but I just find it interesting how one line can change the meaning of a song. Anyways
I actually think the lyric was changed to be less personal to him because it made him uncomfortable or something, the original demo of the song had both lyrics
having a 'jerk' can also be like seen as 'jerk off' and,,, yeah,,, also 'white knuckle /JERK/' could be seen as a reference to uhhh,,,,,, self pleasure
I highly suggest everyone watching this to read the “everything is a lot” record paragraph that comes with the vinyl. After reading this it makes this specific performance super eerie, especially it being on avenue A.

Transcription of Will's chats inbetween songs [Not sure if anyone has already posted a transcription, if so then I apologise. Also sorry for how messy this is]: My therapist told me I should stop drinking so much, because he was saving that bottle for the ride home. I know that feeling, I do, I do. I know that feeling very well. My therapists name is Dr. Sugarman, which I think sounds like the name of a pimp. Y'know like, sort of like, you know that kind of like... "You best be focusing your energy on long-term satisfaction instead of immediate gratification behaviour if you're trying to reach some sort of semblance of self-actualization, or I'm allowed to externalize on yo ass!" ... "Now, who's your daddy and hows your relationship with him?" ...He's not a very good therapist. Ahem... Um, I-I... this next song I wrote-or, I'm gonna play for you, I did write it, but, y'know what, er... Its, uh, it's a-it's sort of a love song... Sort of a-sort of a... Fuck song... Um, uh... And I made the mistake of, uh, playing it for somebody who I met once and telling them it was about them, and they-they thought it was creepy, um... But, you know what? Love is creepy, man. You know, thinking about somebody, whether or not they know it or want you to be doing it? Fuckin' weird. Don't do that. Ask permission first. This song is called White Knuckle Jerk. Urgh, okay, let's just move right onto the next one (Audience member 1: Alright, okay) Thank you for your permission, Ted. (Audience member 1: You're welcome) How's everybody doing tonight by the way? (Audience member 1: I think you know) Yeah? I can tell just by looking at you, that you're doing real well. Hot damn, man. Alright. Okay, this is a song about people who are doing too well. Let's turn things around a little bit. This is a song I wrote about drinking. (Audience member 2: Yes!) Haha (Announcement: Ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to Will Wood, He's gonna do a couple more songs for you [stuff about tips I couldn't quite make out] $5 per set, please have your money ready, put your hands together again for Will Wood!) Thanks guys, thank you. This is a song... That's... That's all I have to say, it's a song (Audience member 1: For Ted) This is a song for Ted (Audience member 1: Yeah!) One more song, guys. Alrighty, just a minute (Audience member 1: For Ted!) This song's for Ted.
the rest of the recordings of it were taken off of youtube, it seems like this is the last one left but im sure some people have it downloaded still somewhere
Yeah I too would be a bit creeped out if "somebody who I met once" played me a song about their inability to fuck me. Geez, I thought he was talking about Aikido or something!
So uhhh, anyone wanna help me decypher the lyrics of "kill me if you can" ? Forget it, i found it Sick and twisted existential fiction I said "How am I gonna get through life like this?" Head-bobs nodding and i'm not about the body And i'm not about klonopin or heroin Fix and twisted and a mid-night schizophrenic "How am I gonna get through my life like this?" Neurotic, catatonic, idiotic, not enough psychotic season to corroborate the sin Take me towards the light When it leaves my eyes Give me a sec to catch my dying breathe Forgive me if I cross the flatline From the grain up to the casket Hope it's not too much to ask to come kill me KILL ME, PLEASE! Six-feet deep from six-foot tall Dumb bomb and givе it so i'll lose it all Please comе kill me! Kill me if you can (thanks Raymices )
I think I got the majority of the lyrics down right. Hopefully. At the end there will be a * indicating what other possible words it could've been, and the ^ will be for the meaning of the lyric change ------ Sick and twisted, existential affliction* I said, "How am I gonna get through life like this?" Head bobs nodding in and out about the body* And I'm not about Klonopin or Heroin Fixed^ and twitchin',^ bitch's fittin'^ like a schizophrenic How am I gonna get through my life like this? Neurotic and catatonic, idiotic not enough psychoticism to corroborate the sin Take me towards the light When* it leaves my eyes Give me a sec, to catch my dying breath Forgive me if I cross the flatline From the cradle^ to the casket Hope it's not too much to ask to come Kill me Kill me, please! * Six feet deep from six foot tall Jump off and give in so I'll lose it all Please come kill me! Kill me if you can ------ 1*: This could say fiction but affliction seemed like a better fit 2*: This whole line I'm unsure about, as it doesn't make sense but it sounded more accurate 3*: This could say but it leaves my eyes 4*: This could say "*I'm* Six feet deep from six foot tall" 1^: Fixed as in, a drug fix 2^: Side effect of certain drugs in excess amount can be twitching, and to my knowledge a cliche about people addicted to drugs is that they're constantly twitching and seem off. 3^: Fitting as in, throwing a fit 4^: Grain up to the casket doesn't make sense, but since cradles would symbolize infants it would make more sense for the line to mean from birth until death.
Man, look at him now though. So much positive personal changes. Like, you can tell this is him, but he seems so much healthier now. Yeah he nearly killed himself a few times but I mean… As a surviver of that shit, I’d say that’s pretty impressive.
Lyrics for "I'll Never Amount to Anything." If I don't understand certain parts or get something wrong, help would be appreciated. My parents paid for college and I wonder why To have me be a comic flipping burgers on the side You can't have an apartment making $8.75 Let alone car insurance after two DWIs I don't think I could write enough songs to stay alive I would turn to prostitution but I don't think I'd get by My brains so fried I don't think I could pass a drug test And if my Daddy weren't a lawyer I'd probably be in jail by now (It also helps being white) Everybody's loving this emotional wreckage baby What's the p-point of trying I'll never amount to anything I'll never amount to anything I'll never amount to anything I'll never amount to nothing My therapist said "Focus on the now and here" So I savor all the flavor when I p-pound a beer I get heart palpitations and p-p-panic attacks But I don't think I could trust myself around Xanax My therapist said I should take my meds But that's exactly what the government wants me to do I switch banks every time I overdraw my checking account I'm at a point where $100 could change my life (But I'd spend it on drugs) (Unknown) this emotional rollercoaster What's the p-point of trying I'll never amount to anything I'll never amount to anything I'll never amount to anything I'll never amount to nothing In 1st grade they tell you can be the president But I can't even get people to follow me on Twitter I drink and I smoke and I never use a rubber And also I play the lottery Raised in Suburbia to die in the streets My parents still say that they're p-proud of me I'll be a sewer of emotionally draining shit And it'll take more then a manhole to shut me out (Heh-heh, manhole) You lose your luggage at my emotional baggage, babe Poster boy of eugenics I'll never amount to anything I'll never amount to anything I'll never amount to anything I'll never amount to nothing Woah-ho-oh-oh anything I'll never amount to anything I'll never amount to anything I'll never amount to nothing
it kind of seems like he's having a harder and harder time the longer the show goes on here... if thats what it was like before, i'm glad he doesnt force himself down to that emotional state just for some songs anymore
@@floodvoid no, it's not likely that Will would use that song. he's said that he doesn't have plans for any of his older songs. he probably took them down for the same reason he took down Can't Wait to Die and the A Demonstrative Manifesto EP, he didn't want that stuff being public, he probably took this stuff down because it doesn't fit with what he's doing now.. and because he doesn't want to be canceled... and so he doesn't get death threats from people
The miracle of Will Wood is that every now and then you come across a video that is several years old with less than 10k views, and he looks wildly different every time
here he looks like a dad going through a divorce and i oddly love it
@@connsescape3247 dilf
The camera angels are always horrible and there’s something slightly off, it’s great

My therapist told me I should stop drinking so much, because he was saving that bottle for the ride home. I know that feeling, I do, I do. I know that feeling very well.
My therapists name is Dr. Sugarman, which I think sounds like the name of a pimp. Y'know like, sort of like, you know that kind of like... "You best be focusing your energy on long-term satisfaction instead of immediate gratification behaviour if you're trying to reach some sort of semblance of self-actualization, or I'm allowed to externalize on yo ass!" ... "Now, who's your daddy and hows your relationship with him?"
...He's not a very good therapist.

2:03 WAIT IS THIS THE MAIN CHARACTER??
As somebody who has listened to I'll never amount to anything a bit too much, that was the opposite of my reaction to listening to the main character
I read this the way Markiplier said "WAS THAT THE BITE OF '87???"
@brainofevil 😭💀💀FR THOOO
This man looks so different each time i see him
This is my favorite will wood live recording ever 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you for sharing this unique record
So many new songs!! Woah!!
Yeah :D
This makes me so sad!1 He is so good and I love him so muchhhh
I'd appreciate if someone cutted out 13:29 to 15:10 and placed it in individually jasdbsnsk
someone's done it! ua-cam.com/video/a48y456jpV0/v-deo.html
Some one did ua-cam.com/video/WOlwF8qcfWc/v-deo.html
i love the will wood community :)
Is this the only recording of “I’ll never amount to anything” cus I’ll sell my kidney for another
the rest of the recordings of it were taken off of youtube, it seems like this is the last one left but im sure some people have it downloaded still somewhere
Yeah I too would be a bit creeped out if "somebody who I met once" played me a song about their inability to fuck me. Geez, I thought he was talking about Aikido or something!
Real
Fairly new fan, but what's the last song he played called? I loved it so muchhhhh
it's lysergide daydream and thermodynamic lawyer fused into one song
@@ackewtful. awesome!! thank you so much!!
this is so good aaagh
So uhhh, anyone wanna help me decypher the lyrics of "kill me if you can" ?
Forget it, i found it
Sick and twisted existential fiction
I said "How am I gonna get through life like this?"
Head-bobs nodding and i'm not about the body
And i'm not about klonopin or heroin
Fix and twisted and a mid-night schizophrenic
"How am I gonna get through my life like this?"
Neurotic, catatonic, idiotic, not enough psychotic season to corroborate the sin
Take me towards the light
When it leaves my eyes
Give me a sec to catch my dying breathe
Forgive me if I cross the flatline
From the grain up to the casket
Hope it's not too much to ask to come kill me
KILL ME, PLEASE!
Six-feet deep from six-foot tall
Dumb bomb and givе it so i'll lose it all
Please comе kill me!
Kill me if you can
(thanks Raymices )
I think the line is “From the CRADLE to the casket” not grain up or at least that’s what’s I hear
I think I got the majority of the lyrics down right. Hopefully.
At the end there will be a * indicating what other possible words it could've been, and the ^ will be for the meaning of the lyric change
------
Sick and twisted, existential affliction*
I said, "How am I gonna get through life like this?"
Head bobs nodding in and out about the body*
And I'm not about Klonopin or Heroin
Fixed^ and twitchin',^ bitch's fittin'^ like a schizophrenic
How am I gonna get through my life like this?
Neurotic and catatonic, idiotic not enough psychoticism to corroborate the sin
Take me towards the light
When* it leaves my eyes
Give me a sec, to catch my dying breath
Forgive me if I cross the flatline
From the cradle^ to the casket
Hope it's not too much to ask to come
Kill me
Kill me, please!
* Six feet deep from six foot tall
Jump off and give in so I'll lose it all
Please come kill me!
Kill me if you can
------
1*: This could say fiction but affliction seemed like a better fit
2*: This whole line I'm unsure about, as it doesn't make sense but it sounded more accurate
3*: This could say but it leaves my eyes
4*: This could say "*I'm* Six feet deep from six foot tall"
1^: Fixed as in, a drug fix
2^: Side effect of certain drugs in excess amount can be twitching, and to my knowledge a cliche about people addicted to drugs is that they're constantly twitching and seem off.
3^: Fitting as in, throwing a fit
4^: Grain up to the casket doesn't make sense, but since cradles would symbolize infants it would make more sense for the line to mean from birth until death.
@@avx3180 thanks a lot, you dont know how much this helps!
@@elcatrinc1996 very welcome !
I believe it's from "Cradle to the casket"
Man, look at him now though. So much positive personal changes. Like, you can tell this is him, but he seems so much healthier now. Yeah he nearly killed himself a few times but I mean… As a surviver of that shit, I’d say that’s pretty impressive.
Fr
yeah.
Lyrics for "I'll Never Amount to Anything." If I don't understand certain parts or get something wrong, help would be appreciated.
My parents paid for college and I wonder why
To have me be a comic flipping burgers on the side
You can't have an apartment making $8.75
Let alone car insurance after two DWIs
I don't think I could write enough songs to stay alive
I would turn to prostitution but I don't think I'd get by
My brains so fried I don't think I could pass a drug test
And if my Daddy weren't a lawyer I'd probably be in jail by now (It also helps being white)
Everybody's loving this emotional wreckage baby
What's the p-point of trying
I'll never amount to anything
I'll never amount to anything
I'll never amount to anything
I'll never amount to nothing
My therapist said "Focus on the now and here"
So I savor all the flavor when I p-pound a beer
I get heart palpitations and p-p-panic attacks
But I don't think I could trust myself around Xanax
My therapist said I should take my meds
But that's exactly what the government wants me to do
I switch banks every time I overdraw my checking account
I'm at a point where $100 could change my life (But I'd spend it on drugs)
(Unknown) this emotional rollercoaster
What's the p-point of trying
I'll never amount to anything
I'll never amount to anything
I'll never amount to anything
I'll never amount to nothing
In 1st grade they tell you can be the president
But I can't even get people to follow me on Twitter
I drink and I smoke and I never use a rubber
And also I play the lottery
Raised in Suburbia to die in the streets
My parents still say that they're p-proud of me
I'll be a sewer of emotionally draining shit
And it'll take more then a manhole to shut me out (Heh-heh, manhole)
You lose your luggage at my emotional baggage, babe
Poster boy of eugenics
I'll never amount to anything
I'll never amount to anything
I'll never amount to anything
I'll never amount to nothing
Woah-ho-oh-oh anything
I'll never amount to anything
I'll never amount to anything
I'll never amount to nothing
Some of the unknown lyrics are “so I savor all the flavor when pound the beer” and “you’d lose your luggage at my emotional baggage”
@@meapworld4286 K, I added those
it kind of seems like he's having a harder and harder time the longer the show goes on here... if thats what it was like before, i'm glad he doesnt force himself down to that emotional state just for some songs anymore
no he was just drunk
@@jordansunlight4765 oh i didnt know you were allowed to play drunk. that still sounds like a problem lol
@@toomanydum4084real
Let's admit it: we're all jealous of Ted right now
@Ted Last name can't quite be jealous of yourself, can you?
Will wood
13:25
ignore this, just a timestamp to this awesome song :D
So real
The begining sounded like great balls of fire
T E D
13:30 is such a bop
27:03 and his villain arc starts
efectivamente,es will wood
@@personanormal pero quien es el VERDADERO will wood? Eso me pregunto
Dude, anyone has that song about "i cant wait to die?"
i had it but then i fucking lost it
yeah i have it. i actually have the entire performance (audio only sadly).. i don't know if i can share it publicly though
@@LoganHughesMusic Oh my god, please, share it, i just want it for my ringtone (and maybe, if i can, to upload the lyrics) please, i beg of you
@@elcatrinc1996 just send me some way to send it to you privately then
@@LoganHughesMusic yo can i get it too
i heard it once on something but then that video got taken down
@@LoganHughesMusic Would my twitter or my discord work? (why my comments keeps getting deleted?)
Does anyone know the name to the song here? 13:34
I don't think there is a name since he tends to just play songs he's written and not put them on records
@@datrashbag8584 Ooh yeah, I forgot about those
Thanks though
It kind of sounds vaguely like Front Street at the beginning lol
I think it's called "Kill Me If You Can", although I'm not sure I just got it from one of the other comments here
This is swag
i love your haircut
@@wheatstack5018 Omg I love yours too and thank you
Aaa you look so cool!!! (If that’s you in the pfp lol)
@@grub_bugg it is! And tysm lol I didn’t think this comment would get me so many compliments
For Ted!
17:09 WHAT IS THIS MELODY??????????
REALLL‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
Is there anywhere where I can find the unreleased songs?
What songs at 14:00?
Kill me if you can
It hasn't been formally released
@@tomw3863 tysm
Holy shit it's DR Sugarman from the blackboxwarrior live rant in ponderosa studio
Holy shit
ignore me i just gotta 2:25
WHY DOES HE LOOK ON THE VERGE OF CRYING FROM ABOUT 22:30
I think he was drunk and I think being drunk gets you emotional or sum😭
is "kill me if you can" a real song ?
Nah :(
Not yet, might be on a future album though
there used to be recordings floating around on youtube but theyve all been taken down, im hoping its bc its on the next album :P
@@floodvoid no, it's not likely that Will would use that song. he's said that he doesn't have plans for any of his older songs. he probably took them down for the same reason he took down Can't Wait to Die and the A Demonstrative Manifesto EP, he didn't want that stuff being public, he probably took this stuff down because it doesn't fit with what he's doing now.. and because he doesn't want to be canceled... and so he doesn't get death threats from people
@@LoganHughesMusic Sorry if I'm being silly, but why would that material cancel him / get him death threats?
I don't know why but I thought the first one would be Great Balls of Fire
haha they sound similar
AGGHH WILLLLL 😭😭😭
