Suburbia Overture: Greetings from Mary Bell Township! / (Vampire) Culture / Love Me, Normally - Will Wood
since this blown up for some reason;
1. thanks!!
2. i fucking hate dsmp fans, go away
3. the character in the video belongs to me! his name is Tommy Meshach and he’s the Harbinger of God. since God in his universe went missing, he has to fill in His role despite being a little unstable and more focused on shaping the world to be that “cookie-cutter-american-dream” town as a way of ensuring every human’s place into Heaven. he’s the face of a company called Angel Co. that runs Heaven as a simulation. he’s a robot angel! if you’re curious abt his deal, feel free to ask!

FAVOURITE COMMENT
Home is where the heart is, you ain't homeless but you're heartless.
That's powerful.
I read this as that part came on on the song lol
probably one of my favorite parts that get drilled into my head everytime i listen to suburbia overture
if home is where the heart is, i’d live in my upper chest -johnny hobo :)
ikrr
One of my favourite lines
The transition to Suburbia to Vampire Culture is fucking _fantastic_
Wait are they different song but spliced together?
@@closeted-skeleton yeah.
@@closeted-skeleton kinda? I think it's supposed to be a little unclear, the way I interpereted it is it's 3 songs, (Greetings From Mary Bell Township, Vampire Culture, and Love Me, Normally) that all combined create the song suburbia overture
also there's another song on the album also called, Love Me, Normally so uhhhhhhhhh
@@zawarudo497 it’s actually love, me normally but the connection is still vm there
I was playing this in the car and my sibling described vampire culture as "heavy metal for neurodivergent people" which honestly describes it perfectly
I love how this implies that heavy metal is for neurotypicals, but that's in fact wrong...
1. So true 2. YOUR PFPPPPPP
hell that's just metal in general if my metalhead ADHD wife is anything to go by lol
"rêtàrd music"
@@Formerlytrouserttrout imagine being rage bait lmao
Alright. Going to flex my knowledge for a little bit. When the song shifts for the first time and the singer mentions kuru, note that kuru is a prion disease. Prion diseases in humans aren't transmissible by air or regular surface contact, and are instead mainly transmitted by consuming stuff such as meat and flesh. Prion diseases also tend to accumulate in the brain, which is the highest risk area for transmission.
So, if we take the kuru line literally, it's implied that the singer ate his sister, and the part(s) he ate most likely included the brain.
Food for thought! (pun entirely intended.)
correct!!! i’ve done a buncha research and i’ve seen articles written about the consumption of the human body and Many of them include how eating the brain is useless and cannot be cooked. same thing with blood
Sweetbread, mentioned in the same verse, is a cullinary term for the thyroid, but its also used for brains of cattle or sheep that one cooks!
kuru can only be transmitted via cannibalism of the brain so yeah lol. one of its symptoms is uncontrollable laughter so yes it is very much implied
Will wood (the singer) also wrote about how there was brains on the wall, which goes with the whole theme of Kuru
I remember when I learned what kuru was my reaction was just “oh the thing from that Will Wood song”
oh you KNOW i clicked this just to see if the art would shift along with the transition to vampire culture and I was NOT disappointed
This song hits different when you're carving styrofoam with a boxcutter for an art piece and you can pretend to be a cannibalistic suburban housewife dissecting a body
That's freaky, i like dat
very good translation of the song tbh
"IT'S ONLY CULTURE, AND IT'S MORE AFRAID OF YOU THAN YOU'RE OF IT!"
best line in the song
Is your profile picture Sperb for the x-box one?
@@themushroommonarch "Sperb"
@@themushroommonarch do you mean fucking sburb what the fuck is a sperb
It’s a great line, but I think “takes a village to fake a whole culture” might be a tad better

PLZ EVERYBODY FINDING OUT THAT ITS “CUMS RADIATION” AND NOT “BECOMES RADIATION” AT 2:46 IS KILLING ME
STOP BECAUSE SAME
Because it makes no sense and is out of context. And is ridiculous
I always thought it was “here comes radiation”
@@candicraveingcloude2822 it actually does make sense. the "stereotypical family" of a son, a daughter and two loving parents is referred to in academia as the nuclear family. so "he comes radiation" is basically a jab at the whole nuclear family dynamic and archetype. hope that helps :D
@@artemiswallace8716I see, because if a man were to “cum radiation” then he would have a literal “nuclear family” that’s insanely clever.
will wood what the FUCK did you put into this song. every now and then i'll be like "hmmm, i feel like listening to will wood! how about i binge-listen my favorite album!" but then i never even make it to 222. i can't only listen to it once, everytime i try i just end up looping it. this song is a fucking DRUG and i cannot get enough of it

@@Power-xl8vhI guess we’ll never know
@@BobRossCat You can never know
Suburbia overture mixes halloween with christmas... And it actually fits.
We know those mix thr nightmare before Christmas
MY EXACT THOUGHT
my personal favorite part of this song is the “surburbiAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA”, and because this song is pretty long, i can loop it and not get tired of it
Mini story I used the lyrics context clues to make:
It's basically just a "normal" suburban town full of white, straight, christian, nuclear families. Blonde, blue eyed children and perfect faced parents. None of them ever have any drama, trauma or struggles in lifr, nobody has ever had a divorce, and some families host barbeques every weekend.
Secretly though, they're all cannibals. This is because of a culture theyve built after being sectioned off from the real society for so long. A lot of adultery and eating brains happens in this culture. The brains they choose to devour come from outsiders, and if the outsiders have children they use the organs from them to make sweetbread.
that's pretty cool
I've just taken it as a critique of modern life in america
Not that far of the Actual Hellscape that was 1950's American Suburbia to be fair.
that turned dark real fuckin quick
That was enjoyable to read
white people jumpscare
'Leave you wondering why they couldn't have just been normal..' IT HURTS WHEN
shhh its ok ❤
Right,people hate it when I said I like kids
i just realised at 4:45 the bg voices are singing "drink! that! blood!" and i love it
FR I’m glad other people appreciate that part I was looking for this comment
I was so focused on the fine singing i didnt even notice it lol thanks
I DIDNT NOTICE THAT THANK YOU
The crazy bastards did it. They managed to get every single music taste I like and put it into one song. Even the ones that don't have a name-
The next bohemian Rhapsody.
Vampire Culture is some of the most chaotic shit I’ve ever heard and I fucking love it
The 1st half of "Suburbia Overture "Love me Normally" and "Outliers and Hyppocrates" are my favorite songs. I wish there was more falsetto in the album
YUP YUP- “greetings from mary bell township” is so, so, incredible.
fr 🤤
"the lights are on! But no ones home! (So welcome home!)"
"Everyone knows heart is where the home is! You aint homeless, but youre heartless"
I feel my stomach turn upside down when i hear those lines
oh god dammit another one of my favorite songs is about cannibalism >:( why does this keep happening
I've been thinking about this comment for like a week and can't figure it out WHATS THE OTHER ONE
@@kenatodd1767 I've started a playlist bc there's so many :'((
th-cam.com/play/PL2YOhqtxMpR3r1ShoV_Fu-px-wfK_Xfmv.html
They like humans a bit too much
It's only culture.
THE LAST FUCKING PART. THE ONE RIGHT AFTER VAMPIRE CULTURE. ITS SO FUCKING SLEPT ON!!!!
LOVE ME NORMALLY IS SLEPT ON THANK YOU
I thought the “story” was about a utopia town slowly delving into chaos. At first it’s hidden, before fires, explosions, death on the news. And it’s all around you. And the end is someone dying wondering why things could’ve stayed like before.
when i watched “what did i do” and Will Wood mentioned that “the most things that people don’t talk about when it comes to 80’s nostalgia is the 50’s nostalgia” this song made much more sense. The references to the Cold War and American suburbanization are much clearer.
Okay the song is great but I wanna know more about the OC-
SAMEEEE
Read the desc :D
2:46 he does what
he WHATS radiation..... i thought it was 'becomes' my jaw is on the floor
probably a reference to a nuclear family ?
I've been listening to this song for months and thought it was become too
I feel you
@@heliodotust ok it makes since now :'')
@@heliodotustor like nuclear warfare since this feels very post apocalyptic
Is no-one going to talk about how AMAZING THE ART IS?
RIGHTTTT
Thanks for this. Now I can understand this screaming in my ear.
Greetings from Mary Bell township gets me more into the Christmas spirit than actual Christmas music
I played this song for my friend and when it got to the (vampire) culture part I said, 'doesn't it sound like a villain song' my friend responded with, 'yeah, it sounds like the boogie man would sing it' And then after the song was over they said, 'I like the piano boogie man' and I just thought that was funny.
Will Wood aka Piano Boogie Man
this perfectly shows my transition between my music taste between 2020 and 2021.
I’ve entered my edgy phase
bruh what💀
Wait... This is edgy?
Shit I thought that this was me exiting my edgy phase damn it!
You still in it?
UPDATE PLS ARE YOU STILL IN UR EDGY PHASE
Just went trick or treating and saw a family going around the neighborhood with their kids in a golf cart while talking about HGTV and judging neighbors' houses- this song fit a bit too well
"suburbiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" has been stuck in my head for a while now :')
I just wanted to comment this: When I saw this it was only a month old, I click on it ( not knowing who Will Wood was ) and this has changed my life forever. I went to one of his concerts, I’ve binged all of his albums, and I have a bunch of friends with the same interests as me! This video will always be my favorite lyric video, because you inspired me to look into Will Wood! The “Impress your Creators” lyric video also was a neat find, thanks for all of the music recommendations dude, and best of luck!
Feed. □:
Vampire Culture has been my addiction, and now I know the lyrics. I can live happy now.
You don't wanna know how many times I've listened to this, unashamedly at school, with a volume other students could hear so much so my friend flashed me the "are you okay, Jesus christ" eyes bc of it. Thank you for making this broski, very cool.
Oh, how a grown man's voice can rise that high! *I love it!*
Yeah will wood is pretty amazing
I love it whenever male singers use their higher vocal register
I know a lot of people mention the character in this video also being in the art for Impress Your Creators but I was wondering if he was also the chalk outline for Okultra?
bingo! technically, the chalk outline is his past self, when he used to be human. :P
@@phoneyogurt oooooOOOOOOOOO LORE?!??!?!?!;
@@phoneyogurt I smell lore
Somebody mentioned somewhere that “suburbia overture is a genuine overture for the entire album” and I haven’t stopped thinking about it since. I want a full analysis of this song pointing out every instance/reference/motif from another song in it. Because i wanna see it but i sure as heck ain’t gonna do it.
my favorite part of this song is always the AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA at the beginning
always gets me
I am slowly descending into the madness that is listening to will wood obsessively
You are not alone. I too am descending into the madness that is listening to will wood obsessively.
This song and the OC character feel so damn wonderfully diabolical- it really feels like letting yourself go and just enjoy the wickedness of it all, and the character changing along with the song only made everything better! Thank you so much for making this, it’s one of my favorites!
Personal timestamps don't mind me,
Duration- 3:33 syn
Pitch- repeated part in verses 0:27 , 3:03 minor
Tone- piano arpeggios 3:51 5:09 , nasal 1:02 , raspy 7:04, at 3:37 goes from raspy to very soft and clear , 3:51 starts softly speaking the lyrics, 5:09, many glissando’s from the piano
Texture- , 2:31 m, 5:10 , 1:21 decrescendo, 2:38 light 3:51 abrupt change in density becoming light and soft, 3:37 also sudden change in density , 5:08 soft with h,

I’ve never known how to feel about the amount of emotion, of feeling, of borderline desperation and the harmonies at 2:46
OKAY GUYS I NEED TO BOUNCE SOMETHING OFF OF YOU
I DONT KNOW IF I HAD A BIGBRAIN MOMENT OR A “get some sleep you’re looking too far into shit” MOMENT. MY GUTS TELLING ME (VAMPIRE) CULTURE IS A CONTINUATION OF HAND ME MY SHOVEL THE SAME WAY P!ATD DID THE WHOLE EMPEROR TRILOGY THING TO SHIT ON P!ATD.
edit: I think I may just have tripped myself into a tangent that goes absolutely nowhere.
edit 2: also I think Love Me, Normally (the one on the same track as Vampire and Suburbia Overture) is a continuation of Thermodynamic Lawyer Esq. GFD.
my goodness me this song is so good. greetings from mary bell township is super catchy, vampire culture is chaotic as all get out and I love it. don't really have much to say about love me, normally. one of my favorite ww songs.
what the crap I made this 10 months ago. there's so many ww comments that I made almost a year ago. time flies, man
I made this a year ago 😦
Gee, Tommy. How come you get TWO lyric videos.
IVE LISTENED TO THIS SONG ABOUT A MILLION TIMES YET I NEVER REALIZED THAT HE SAID "HE CUMS RADIATION"
A LITERAL NUCLEAR FAMILY
2:44 NMOOOOOOO I THOUGHT IT WAS "HERE COMES RADIATION" AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
The way I interpret this is (warning:I am projecting):
First part (Greetings from Mary Bell township!) is "conformity".Living in normal place with a bunch of cultural norms. You can conform and stay relatively calm but inside you know that you are slowly getting dreaded by this whole culture and normality, you don't really belong there, this place is enslaving you and hurting you rather than making you feel like home.
The second part (Vampire culture) is basically being fed up and "exploding". You have gotten so tired of all of this, so tired of having to follow things you don't want, limiting yourself and being judged just because "that's just how it is/ always has been" "it's part of our culture". You basically go nuts and probably fuck up a lot of things during that "explosion".
Third part (love me normally)is just sadness. Probably either because of the social stigma and alienation that comes with being non-conforming or because of mistakes you did during that "explosion" ("going against the grain and catching splinters). Deep inside you you kind of wish you were just like all the other "normal" people so you could live a normal life in this normal place and not have to go through all of this.
the snap crackle pop of the geiger
In the second part he sounds like if sandpaper could talk lmao
I love this description so much u have no idea
@@JumbledDufus thanks
Underrated af comment
this song hits really different when youre native + live on a reservation
Fun Fact: Conservative-pidia (or whatever it’s called) put this in a list of conservative songs. 😂
WAIT REALLY? LOL
oh my god. cabinet man is on the list. shut the fuck up. shut the fuck up. i’m bawling this is so fucking funny
I Earn My Life by Lemon Demon is on there too LMAO and so is "It's Been So Long" 💀 There are so many Lemon Demon songs on there help
IM GOING TO PISS MYSELF , TWO TRUCKS BY LEMON DEMON IS ON THERE OMFGS
@@xtcxe FNDSMVNSDJKFGBKJDSNBFVJKSBCJBJDB okay i think he won
Ok, so noones gonna talk about how perfectly the song fades into "Love me normally"?
during the chorus his voice sounds like a kazoo, love it.
oh my god. it does. why would you do this to me.
Hey, love your OC! Was his concept perhaps inspired by the biblical angel Metatron? I see similarities, as they both seem to be robotic.
good eye! though i wasn’t really inspired by any character in particular. tommy just came to me in a vision one day like this and i haven’t known peace since
@@phoneyogurt That sounds like a very tommy thing to do
@@phoneyogurt as someone with a close friend named tommy i can confirm that is what they do
4:52 Omg I had no idea there were actually lyrics here I thought he was just scatting lol
2:46
he
_WHAT_
(fun note: 1:37 is fucking amazing)
I now know Vampire Culture word for word now.
I’m literally obsessed with your OC and all I’ve seen of him is this video and the description- I want more, please!
idk what song this is but i clicked just to see the impress your creators boy
edit; pretty late update but i got into the entire album through i/me/myself and now i've listened to the whole album all at once like 20 times??? thanks, impress your creators boy
This character fits this song so well on every level
my toxic trait is thinking i can hit these high notes lmao
3:15 insert that meme where dracula from hotel transylvania is singing
2:46 will wood explain
Apparently it’s supposed to be a jab at the nuclear family
istg will woods music is just so satisfying
the lyricism in this... jesus harold christ
2:37
Where you should pause if you want to show this to a family member
I wanna know if this is from something because you had another character for another song that had the same kind of style but I can't find any answers anywhere
they’re my original designs! usually in the descriptions i tell if the character is an OC or from a series ^-^
@@phoneyogurt that's so cool they look so amazing
This was the first will wood song i ever listened to, and honestly i love this song still so much
I'm listening to this because I'm doing a school ELA project based off of this song. I don't think I'll pass
Did you pass?
did you pass
D I D Y O U P A S S
DID U PASS IM DYING
we will never know if he passed
The first time i heard the song I thought the last line said "leave you wondering what if the kids had just been normal", and it hit harder than the actual lyrics, so i just pretend that's what he says.
This song reminds me of the horror podcast Neighbourly. It's got like a vampire homeowners Association and houses that eat people, and fun things like that.
Or Slaughter of the Lamb. It's a short story where a house wife murders her husband with a frozen lamb leg, and then cooks and serves the lamb(murder weapon) to the police who come to investigate
@@llamityllama6772 i read that story in school a few months ago
Y'all sayin you came bc know the song/character and my monkey brain just clicked because I saw the word vampire NWNSJSJDJS BYE. (surprised I don't know the songs tho, I listen to a lot of wood's stuff!)
This is the opening track from his newest album The Normal Album! I highly recommend giving it a listen all the way through.
@@RSmeep13 agreed, 2econd-2ight-2eer and outliars and hippocrates are also incredible. tbh the entire album is too
0:39 "wide-eyed and wired" is soon to be one of my Discord status when feeling happy
My friend James sent me here and like this is /not/ what I was expecting. It's a good song though, and I love the thing you did with the picture changing as the mood changes
*plays in repeat until it starts to get annoying *
So your listening to it on loop until the end of time? Sounds great!
Thanks for posting! The comments were blocked on the Topic songs so I just wanted to see what everybody is saying and to find some lyrics. Truly a great help!
i love your character omg
I love the references to other songs in this one!
2:46
Im sorry

One of my favourite Will Wood songs it’s just so perfect to me and I love it!!!!
✨💫⭐️🌟
Part of the Love Me, Normally section sounds like the bridge in the Main Character
It really says something that this song gave me an anxiety attack when I first listened to it, but now it relaxes me.
hey i have a question about tommy!!!! in this picture he looks much different from how you draw him usually on your account! he looks a lot like, kiddy here? if that makes sense? because on instagram he has like super high creepy cheekbones and like- scary teeth and stuff and a massive torso and he just looks so eerie and i love it!!!! this design is also amazing!! i just wanna know if they’re both the same character like in the same like ‘stage’? is it the same guy but like at different times in his life?
Tommy shows up on TV all the time, most of the time as you normally see him (though you can’t see his robotic neck, so you can’t sell that he’s messed up). but sometimes his appearance in logos, or title cards before a broadcast, even advertisements resemble a more chibi look! it’s like his brand to have a friendly face paired up with his normal looks
I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS SONG FOR SO LONG !!
4:32 THIS IS SO GOOD I'M GONNA EXPLODE
This is so bad ass, love the song, love the video, and definitely love the way it's all put together. Great job.
I could listen to this song for hours!
Oh wait, I have been...
i had to bus for roughly three cumulative hours yesterday (one and a half there and one and a half back) and i was listening to this song quite literally the entire time
i thougt the surburbia was him saying sO BABY WHYYYYYYYYYYYY
It's a little sad to see people taking the lyrics at face value, thinking it's actually just about a cannibalistic suburban cult.
The Song is much more metaphorical and those bland Interpretations somewhat butcher the Finer implications of wills lyrical decisions.
For example "white picket fences, barbed wire and trenches" is a callback to the 50s Obsession with cold war but it also shows suburban culture. The picket fences *are* the trenches. Suburbia is a warzone, a competition to be the best in "being normal". A picket fence is as much a territorial line as a warzone.
And the cannibalism isnt actual cannibalism. It's about how people push other people down, gossip over them or such, to Benefit from them. Etc etc
2:49 anyone else see what I’m seein?
Thank you for this
Oh nice! It's the character from the Impress Your Creators video! 👀 👌
a suburb that loons perfect but is so so much darker than you could imagine. Love it
I can see fangirls go gaga with this man’s voice especially trying to fit on some of the attractive fictional cartoon characters
(Dangerous!)
