Will wood has the most diverse vocal cords he can sound like the first part of suburbia overture and or Lysergide daydream then bust out with something like 6oh 5up Copout or Cotards Solution
I will never stop being a Will Wood fan because wdym I *just* learned the song is about/referencing acid? I assumed it was in the same vein as Becoming The Lastnames, but more absurdist than depressing.
i remember when i discovered will wood i didn’t like this song (i think it could’ve been because i was trying to drown out the noises of my life), but now it brings a warm, almost itchy sense of comfort that i can’t help but love. like an ugly sweater feeling. its like the day after christmas
Happy 8 Years to Everything Is A lot, one of the best and most varied albums I've ever heard, it perfectly demonstrates all of Will's musical talents. I couldn't think of a better introduction record. This song is one of the best and most unique from the album, and this version really allows the bass and piano to pop like they truly should cause of the great production and mastering. I heart this song sm
I swear to god, those first notes of piano are so similar to the ending theme of Super Mario World its uncanny, is so freaking nostalgic, is like i have heard this song a thousand times before it even came out
I just realized i got confused, the one with the dominant VII chord is super mario 2 overworld, the super mario world ending theme doesn’t have that (i think) But it does sound similar because it uses the V+ chord a lot which shares a few notes
Lyrics: [Verse 1] Ooh, I wanna be In the picture on the postcard Pouring pitchers in the backyard by the garden we tend Ooh, I wanna be Where the crickets chirp for me Frogs that fractal at my feet by the dirt road dead end Where the matches burn like candles, no locks on the doors We can blow the seeds of dandelions, wish for nothing more Where the sunrise comes early, but the night’s still plenty long And the constellations mirror glistening dewdrops on the lawn I feel the grass between my toes already [Chorus 1] Ooh, I wanna be In a place I can call A place to get away from it all [Verse 2] Ooh I wanna be In the autumn pastel landscape An odd, attractive escape on the outskirts of town Ooh I wanna be Where it’s always apple season Underneath the dancing trees where we know up is down Where the television’s broken and the campfire’s smoking And we’re hopeful for tomorrow cause we know we had today We’re laughing and we’re joking with no criticism spoken If the clouds come out and drown the town we’ll still go out and play I feel the hands that I can hold already [Chorus 1] Ooh, I wanna be In a place I can call A place to get away from it all [Bridge] I know the day is far away And if it comes it will not stay But I can’t chase the flavor from my mind Well this is my lysergide daydream It’s not a plan, not half a scheme To find the lake to bathe my two bare, tired, and worn out feet [Chorus 2] No, I don't believe There's a place I can call A place to get away from it all No, I don't believe There's a place I can call A place to get away from it
This song feels like a sunny day out with the people you love the most. One of those days where you just follow where the day takes you, and being out with your friends is the only thing pulling you out of the dark pit the rest of your life is. For just a day, you remember what makes life so worth living.
