    Will wood sounds like if someone made a Theatrical Musical about someone's Mental Breakdown

      If you do happen to be looking for a theatrical musical about someones mental breakdown may I recommend Preludes? It's got some brilliant piano in it and the tendency to mix a bunch of different genres together. Idk it just seems like the type of thing a Will Wood fan might enjoy and I reckon it's pretty underrated

    I see a few people asking about the title. Marsha Linehan created Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), a very prominent form of therapy nowadays. One thing it emphasizes is dialectics: two things that seem opposite but can be true at the same time. ("My feelings are valid" and "my behavioral expression of this feeling is inappropriate to the situation" or-- an example I got from google-- "I want to be loud" and "You need me to be quiet")

    I love that "back in the days of lobotomies, shock therapies and mad scientists" is sung in the prominent melody from Love Me Normally and also from the end of the opening song. It's so cool the way he slips in motifs from other songs so seamlessly. Also the horns in this song give me strong streetlight manifesto vibes.

    I have never found a song in my entire life that so accurately described my psychiatric trauma. I feel every ounce of this song inside me, from being stuck to my couch for years wallowing in depression and self pity, to being forced to take psychiatric medication from the age of 6 to the age of 19. To stopping them all cold turkey, and finding bad habits to take their place. To being wrongfully diagnosed, multiple times, abused emotionally and physically by psychiatrists, psychologists, ABA therapy, my own family, and multiple other adults growing up. I became so attached to labels and rooted my entire identity in being depressed, broken, and absolutely fucked. I feel myself at 16, heavily unwell reading People magazine in a psychiatrist's office. This song is layered so many times over for me. I feel like I was lobotomized growing up. I feel like at 22 my life is just starting because the first 22 years were all lost to me. It's not the way I was raised.. I can be better than this. From an autistic weirdo who finds so much solace in your music- thank you.

      Thank you for this comment. I feel like the overwhelming majority of Will Wood's fans use his songs as an excuse to romanticise mental illness rather than listening to what they have to say about the psychiatric community, perceptions of mental illness and the negative feedback loop of misdiagnoses and overprescribing. It's actually a little sickening when I see people in the comments of these videos reveling in some unspecified mental illness they apparently have. Its the kind of behaviour that ultimately contributes to the things Will Wood chastises in this album.

Psychiatric abuse is horrible and if I'd found this two years ago I probably would've hated it, namely because it'd remind me too much of that stuff, but now I'm able to embrace it and embrace the fact that psychiatric professionals are still human and still capable of fucking up just like we all are.

    One thing I really enjoy and appreciate from WWTW songs is the crazy amount of references in all of their songs. Not to sound like a knowitall, but Marsha is the name of the main authors of the therapy method Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and it's used for people who have more serious emotional problems like anxiety, depression, and borderline. It's focused on mindfulness practices. My psych degree is useful for something after all!

    I can't even begin to describe how much this song means to me. From every misdiagnosis, to sitting in psych wards, to all of the medication I've been put on; nothing quite explains the way I'm feeling better than this song does. This song makes me realize how much I've dwelled on why I'm experiencing stuff instead of just.. fucking living and trying to make it out alive you know LOL. It really has been an eye opener to how we want an explanation to every little thing we experience when in the end were just.. Living and experiencing shit, and personally, I don't think there's a pill out there to help anyone hit that realization. So, thank you. Thank you for helping me finally come to terms with the fact I'm just human and sometimes not having an explanation is okay. Thank you for helping me realize it's okay to live and experience shit without having to put labels or explanations on it all. It means a shit ton

    This song is amazing. I personally haven’t had bad experiences with the mental health industry, for the most part at least, but I really feel the contrast between most of the song and the last verse. At least to me, most of it feels like the way old people will talk to you about mental Illness, but with the “we just drank ourselves to death” or “we just bled out in our baths”, to highlight the absurdity of their claims. The last verse is a stark contrast, showing genuine concern and compassion to whoever is being sung to. Feels like what would have happened if my grandparents and dad came around.

    The song is already so good and emotional, but having a video just makes it easier to absorb it and really truly focus on it and the meaning behind each little bit. Phenomenal job. Thank you, Will and everyone, for the musical composition. Thank you, Angelica for the visual composition. Just a beautiful and hard-hitting piece.

    I know no one is going to see this but at the end of the song with the therapist's monologue the piano is noticeably stronger than the singer like in the end of Suburbia Overture and in the documentary of the normal album will wood states that in Love me, normally (ending of Suburbia Overture) the piano is the listener and the singer is your neighbor having a bad time SO what if in the end of Marsha, Thankk You for the Dialectics the piano is supposed to be the listener trying to drown out the message of the therapist because in all honesty what the therapist says is a heavy does of reality which a lot of people wouldn't want to hear

    lyrics to copy:
    They could prescribe you any illness you'd like
    If you define the terms of your ailments
    You could sing a pretty malady like a black canary
    But a crow don't know the smell of carbon monoxide
    How many years have you been on that couch
    They could've quilt'd you in the throws by now
    You draw a line in the sand where it ends and you begin
    But the tide rolls in, so who knows? Oh well
    And a little identity never hurt nobody
    But lately you've been focusing too much on yourself
    So how many milligrams of you are still left in there
    Cause back in my day we didn't need no feel-good pills and no psychiatrists
    No, we just drank ourselves to death, and god damn it, we liked it
    Who makes the call? What's a symptom, what's a flaw
    Can it be both? Well I suppose that's an answer
    Would you give up your humanity for just a touch of sanity
    Cause God knows it's not like it's cancer
    And good news to the purists: they've discovered a cure
    For the symptoms of being alive
    It's a painless procedure with a low rate of failure
    But very few patients survive
    And a little conformity never hurt nobody
    But lately I've been worried that you're losing yourself
    So how many milligrams of you are still left in there
    Cause back in my day we didn't need no feel-good pills and no psychiatrists
    No, we just bled out in our bath, and god damn it, we liked it
    Doctor, what's my prognosis if the studies show that
    Disease is in the eye of the beholder
    Tell me "so it goes"
    We depress to impress, I guess
    In layer after layer to get off our chests
    It's cold out now, we can take it off later
    Better safe than sorry, and we both know the danger
    So doctor, could you run another test
    Got a feeling that this time I might just pass it
    Well, if you raise the average
    We'll all sing when the bell curve rings
    In lyrics symptomatic of the way we think
    If our harmonies don't sync, we can change our voices
    A chorus on condition of our diagnosis
    Back in my day we didn't need no feel-good pills and no psychiatrists
    What can I say, except don't heed no evil wills of moral nihilists
    I said, "Back in the days of lobotomies and shock therapy and mad scientists
    Oh don't you make me waste my breath. God damn it"
    Ain't your you-dentity at stake
    Does aspirin kill you with the pain
    You're not your thoughts, you're not your brain
    You're just the character you've made
    Up in your head, down in your heart
    What seem like separate body parts
    Come together to believe they're you
    And not just chemistry
    It's not the way that you were raised
    Or what the advertisements say
    Not what you pay for, what you pray for
    What you want, or what you say
    And I see your tendency to redefine disease by what you need
    And I'm afraid I can't prescribe the diagnosis that you seek
    And something tells me that you need
    Forgive me now if I misspeak
    But something tells me that you like
    And something tells me
    You prefer
    To be sitting there flipping through those old issues of People
    Well that's our time, see you next week

    I might be looking too far into it, but the scene in 1:30 with the rabbit could be a subtle nod to the novel/film One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. In it, a character describes his fellow members of the ward as rabbits instead of people. And if I recall correctly Will has stated that as one of his favorite books(or perhaps just one he'd recommend?) So that very neat if it's intentional

    I only stumbled upon Will Wood's stuff relatively recently, but this is probably one of my favorite songs from him, both for the energetic show tune style and for how much it speaks to me. While I do deal with depression and anxiety, I'm not as bad off as some, but it definitely impacts me. There are days I would genuinely prefer not to have any emotions at all, because the highs never seem to be worth the lows. My medication tends to leave me feeling a little "grey" at times, and it's that line "would you give up your humanity for just a touch of sanity" that probably resonates with me the most.

      Searched it up, they said “Marsha, Thankk You for the Dialectics, But I Need You to Leave’ seems to be about a person who views mental illness as a core part of their identity. It explores themes of identity, what ‘mental illness’ really is, and who defines what it means.
      The Marsha mentioned in the title could be referring to the creator of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), Marsha M. Linehan. DBT is a type of psychotherapy that was originally developed to treat borderline personality disorder but is also used to treat a variety of issues, most involving emotion regulation.
      The word ‘dialectics’ in the title likely has a double meaning: it could refer to dialectical behavior therapy, but it could also refer to dialectics in a philosophical context - a dialectic is a discussion involving two or more people with differing points of view on a subject, all aiming to find the truth. This ties into how the person talking in each verse of the song appears to change a few times, as if the lyrics depict different conversations or perspectives”
