will wood. maybe the best artist to me ever?

Within the risk of sounding parasocial, I will say that Will Wood is the most relatable, lovely sounding artist I have ever listened to. I like other bands, but they simply just can’t compare. I really do believe that there’s a band or music artist made for everyone, an artist who you’ll relate to so deeply that you could never fully detach from their work. For me that’s my close and personal friend Will Wood. 

I cannot describe the utter connection I have to this man’s music. Every instrumental feels like I’m a part of a puzzle being put with the rest of the pieces, or a swirl of paint mixing within another. I. Fucking. LOVE. This music. I adore it. Not even that, I’m just connected to it, I guess. I’ve been listening since I was 11 and he did really stay. I’ve listened to almost all of his music, including old stuff. I especially like his old stuff, actually, I have a full playlist of it. My favourites are NowHere, It’s About Hurr and The Better to Eat You With. 

Ever since I was young this guy has been my top artist. Even though I sometimes do prefer listening to other stuff I just can’t let go of this music. The patterns of the music (specifically the camp here and there soundtrack holy SHIT) match my soul so perfectly, maybe because it developed while listening to him. I love this music. And it’s perfect in time for Christmas and my birthday that I get this interest again. I might just ask for some more will wood merch. 

I’m not parasocial, or delusional, or trying to be anything like that. But I did kind of have a phase where I listened to the bonus tracks of the camp here and there soundtrack on band camp without paying. literally those few songs and nothing else. So it’s kinda hard to not sound obsessive. He was also my special interest, as anyone who’s been friends with me around 2024 will be able to tell you through deep irritation, a little while ago. His music means a lot to me and I’m glad I’m listening to it again. I might listen to camp here & there again too since that meant a lot to me (I adored Elijah volkov and I related to him, sydney and jedidiah all at once and I used to chant ‘OUR MUSE OUR MUSE OUR MUSE’ with my friends. And I had a cosplay and a whole tray of chnt art that I have in my closet rn. Just for context!) 

If I get back into this phase of life it will be absolutely horrid for everyone I know right now but so insanely fun for me. I think I will.
