Oh my god a map, haha! That's pretty funny, but I see it! It's the mouse upside down, with an X'd out eye - it's an image of the mouse, dead. The song is a story told from the perspective of a mouse, and the video is a sort of abstract version of the story. He struggles and searches to solve a puzzle, but the end result turns out to be his own demise - a Tomcat disposable trap. So glad you enjoyed it, thanks so much for the video! :)
@@WillWoodmusic Hey Will! Thanks so much for watching and commenting on our reaction. Do you remember Kait from high school? We’re colleagues. She introduced me to your music. I had her on to react to one of your songs - th-cam.com/video/cjIOlCEFTUM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=yVJQbpGWyih51iDH
so: this song was about a time where there was a mouse in his apartment that he gave cheese to. he made friends with the mouse but learned that it carried diseases so he accepted the poison traps from his landlord and the mouse died. the visuals are there to suggest that the mouse was working very hard and going a few nights without food until it got all of the food that ended up to be poison.
What makes this music video even more sad is when you realize the song is in the pov of a mouse that will wood took care of but had to kill due to the fact that specific kind of mouse carried diseases. Will wood saw the mouse trying to take a big block of cheese on the stove in the kitchen. The mouse yes was poisoned But it was a long process. You can see progressively through the video the mouse gets dizzy and sick Because it was poisoned. "Is there cheese in the great beyond?" Is there cheese in heaven is what hes saying because he is about to die. Will felt horrible about it so he wrote a song about it.
as a different person said, this song is about a mouse Will had to trap and kill. i'm pretty sure a metaphor is still there though if you want a different interpretation! it kind of follows Will's music career, struggling and stumbling through it until one day he went viral (found the huge amount of food). that seems like a dream come true, but... well, reality is unpredictable. Will has talked about the awful effects that has had on his mental health. oh, and i just wasn't sure if you'd noticed, but the map with the x on new jersey is actually a shadow of the mouse laying dead. if you knew that and just also saw the map thing, ignore me! lol
I love this interpretation! Thanks for sharing. His lyrics are so smart I wouldn’t put this double meaning passed him. - and no! I didn’t notice the map / mouse. I was zoned in on the X over NJ. That’s really cool. Thanks 🙏
If you ever come back to this artist, my recommendation would be to listen to “White Noise” or maybe “Cicada Days” if you can. I’m sure Cicada Days has a meaning behind it, though I’m unsure of what that meaning is. As for White Noise, it has an interpretation but I’ll let you figure that one out yourself…
ok if you are gonna react to more will wood, listen to laplaces angel, absolute BANGER, some greek influence in there, idk what its about but i wanna hear what you think
Don't suppose one Day You'd react to WillWood's song called 6up 5oh? A Personal Favourite of mine It's Insane Anti-Police Circus Music with a Killer Music Video, a definite recommendation from me.
@@secondhandreactions Sweet! Something to look forward too! ^^ Be sure to do the Official Video, as the Live Version (while still awesome) sounds pretty different.
@@virtualcynical8515 will do. Thanks again. We’re going to be moving rooms in my house and setting a a new computer system over the next week or say. Check back in with us. It might be a little while before we can get to it, but we love Will Wood so it will happen. ✌️
@@secondhandreactions Hey hey, it's all good! Take all the time you need. Real-world stuff should take Priority over React-Content stuff. And thanks again! It's nice to know I'm not the only WillWood Fan out there.
@@virtualcynical8515 I’m honestly surprised at the amount of people that have likes and commented in our Will wood reactions. I’m a fan, but I didn’t know if anyone would watch these reactions. I’m happy to see he has a thriving fan base that loves his music

I felt for that mouse, your work is incredibly creative and fun!!!

Wow! That’s fantastic. What a beautiful muse. Thank you for sharing this. I knew it would have a deeper colorful meaning
OK after I listened to it the second time it gave me quite a sad hole in my stomach, kind of sad
What makes this music video even more sad is when you realize the song is in the pov of a mouse that will wood took care of but had to kill due to the fact that specific kind of mouse carried diseases.
Will wood saw the mouse trying to take a big block of cheese on the stove in the kitchen.
The mouse yes was poisoned
But it was a long process.
You can see progressively through the video the mouse gets dizzy and sick
Because it was poisoned.
"Is there cheese in the great beyond?"
Is there cheese in heaven is what hes saying because he is about to die.
Will felt horrible about it so he wrote a song about it.
Oooohhh nice. That makes sense. Thanks for the insight! Great tune!

Love the details in this video!!!!

fun fact! the title of the song "tomcat disposables" comes from the "tomcat" brand of mouse traps :)
Ha! Thanks for the insight
Fun fact this song and euthanasia are the only songs that can actively make me cry.
What about Against The Kitchen Floor?
@@plum8503 I don't really like that one tbh. It doesn't even strike me as sad
@@YaboiZephyr
I find it sad in a disturbing kind of way, people who can't manage a healthy relationship are always depressing.
@@Persun_McPersonson what does that even mean
@@YaboiZephyr
The song is a about someone who can't maintain or engage in a healthy relationship, right?
If you ever come back to this artist, my recommendation would be to listen to “White Noise” or maybe “Cicada Days” if you can. I’m sure Cicada Days has a meaning behind it, though I’m unsure of what that meaning is. As for White Noise, it has an interpretation but I’ll let you figure that one out yourself…
We’re definitely coming back for more will wood
ok if you are gonna react to more will wood, listen to laplaces angel, absolute BANGER, some greek influence in there, idk what its about but i wanna hear what you think
Thanks for the suggestion. I added it to our list ✌️
Unrelated but no fucking way, can I have your left arm?
YES 🙌
🐭🙁
Okay, I hate that I love this song!

OK I went back to listen to this again. Did they poison him?

Don't suppose one Day You'd react to WillWood's song called 6up 5oh?
A Personal Favourite of mine
It's Insane Anti-Police Circus Music with a Killer Music Video, a definite recommendation from me.
Ohhhh. This sounds great. Thank🙏you for this suggestion. Added it to our list!
