No One's Home - Will Wood (Live @ Sidewalk, 12/1/16)

[@isakts8576]

WHY DO THE UNRELEASED ONES ALWAYS HIT THE HARDEST

[@mio7283]

we mere mortals just couldn’t handle a studio version. it would slap too hard

[@rozlan8273]

Not a truer sentence said before

[@lua5296]

Is a case of "casually creating masterpieces only meant to be heard this time"

[@_--_wow_--_]

We can only hope someday he changes his mind and drops this banger.

[@ElevatorOfRats]

Because he didn’t want to release something that indulges in those negative self-inflicting ideals

[@just_a_butterfly]

I'd sell my soul for him to release this. This is one of my favorite will wood songs 😭

[@japhy5147]

You can feel the 2016 WW vibes with Will's klezmer way of playing piano alongside the antifolk feeling he manages to add to the whole song... Truly amazing

[@LizordSword]

this is like if the live intro to mr capgras had a child with prince ali

[@moss9642]

Will Wood and the Land Pirates mentioned ⁉️

[@Cactiband]

my favourite artist always make the best songs and say "yep this is an unreleased/bonus track now" like i fucking love nobodys home and you're at the party

[@Kids_Scissors]

It's my dream to play piano like he does. It looks hard but from the experimenting I've done so far, I know it's gotta be super fun to play crazy upbeat songs like this one and put your whole heart and soul into it

[@Theuserwithfivenames]

i would LOVE a higher quality version of this but sadly i don’t think one exists

[@omj1045]

For a will wood video this is a high quality version

[@HyetalL]

this is one of the highest quality will wood recordings I've heard which is honestly really funny. if only there wasn't that little cut in audio at the start, it would make transcribing this so much easier

[@novavirus7497]

the fact that this doesnt have any official recordings (or, really, any other recordings at all) is a crime

[@TheRealWillWoodArchive]

so apparently, i just had a friend of mine send me a photo of the unfinished Normal Album tracklist a few days ago... apparently No One's Home is the actual confirmed name for this song, also IT WAS GONNA BE A PART OF THE NORMAL ALBUMM!!!

[@TheRealWillWoodArchive]

@@AquilesDavidPaez No One's Home was gonna be the 13th track, and would have been in-between Misanthrapologist and Memento Mori

[@butallislost]

I thought the title to this video changed! Cool that there's an official title now

[@d.karamazovian]

whaat??? So this song going to be in the remastered normal album?? That's so cool!

[@theultimatekorekiyosimp]

LET'S GOOOOOO

[@anium_]

​@@d.karamazovianidk about that, I think it's only the 10 normal songs reworked and the 3 backroom session demos Would be absolutely sick if no one's home is on there too, but I heavily doubt it :/

[@user-ir4tu7fb3u]

Woah what a beautiful song and what a chilling performance he gave! I love the lyrics of this one. It reminds me a bit of Suburbia Overture and Can't Wait to Die

[@mio7283]

it gives me vibes of the camp here and there songs. mostly yes to err is human

[@electrisoma]

ngl this song probably inspired suburbia overture especially with the chorus "The lights are on I know And you might like the glow But no one’s home!" it's so neat to be able to draw lyrical connections between 2 songs from different times to see how he probably reused old ideas that never made it into finished songs

[@linkkling]

i never thought id hear an entirely new self-ish song in the year of our lord 2024 but here we are

[@Thatsenough_Imgoinghome]

For real! And its SO GOOD aswell😵‍💫

[@linkkling]

@@Thatsenough_Imgoinghome we need a studio version NOW

[@Thatsenough_Imgoinghome]

@@linkkling I COMPLETELY AGREE😭🙏

[@MsAdventure14]

This is slapping, it’s been years of liking this man’s music and I love how I just keep finding stuff!!

[@21neuroticelle]

2:09 i got chills from this

[@electrisoma]

he incredibly cleverly moved away from the microphone to make it seem like he was fading to reverb to make his voice sound bigger that was incredibly cool

[@landerstarts2855]

image if will wood releases this one on his new album after his hiatus lol (if he releases a new album ofc)

[@linkkling]

haha what if haha (please)

[@axo6920]

TLDR: probably around 40% chance of that happening if he does a new album, but dont get excited i just took a guess. i mean, it was in the unfinished track list for the normal album (but was scrapped) (same with misanthrapologist) so its possible. i wouldnt say garunteed, but probably more likely than some older unreleased songs. if he does make a new album, id say maybe 40-56% chance? thats just an estimate based on it being in the old tracklist for tna though. dont get excited though.

[@quanked]

two small errors in the chorus in the lyrics, I believe the correct chorus to be There’s nobody who loves you here right now And nobody to love back anyhow The lights are on I know And you might like the glow But no one’s home!

[@Panda2.000]

theres another version (only a small part) and listening to that one id say you are mostly correct except i do think its “the lights are all i know”

[@fiendfoliorealnotfake]

​@@Panda2.000it makes more sense for it to be "on" since "the lights are on but no-one's home" is a well-known phrase

[@AluminumOrGlass]

really like this one

[@theREALgmanHL]

oh gosh im absolutely vibing sobbing and dancing right now

[@mateivasilache6063]

New adition to my now 131 tracks WW playlist.

[@glossymistake3114]

Do share

[@ARTHLOLZ]

I hope there’s plans to include this song again or at least a rendition I love the melody 😭

[@echo5172]

This one person is an absolute saint for recording this

[@Ash11039]

This song has been stuck in my head

[@mintsmooth860]

i think im in love with him

[@camphor_connoisseur]

my favorite will wood song!! love this

[@joeytofil2259]

Oh yeah, that hit the spot!

[@sonyafaulhaber7671]

We need a cover

[@user-ir4tu7fb3u]

Also, I think he's saying "And nobody to love back anyhow" not "can be how"

[@linkkling]

i wish this was released :(

[@mrsevilrobynsgirl]

please will, release

[@personanormal]

gracias senora por grabar esto,la queremos

[@namelessbean]

omg thanks for posting this alone 🙏 i'm boutta listen to this on repeat 😮‍💨

[@AGDWWFC]

Enjoy it whilst you can, even save it or whatever, as it might get deleted, it gives me vibes of something we werent supposed to see.

[@Bobotzoaica]

​@@AGDWWFCHonestly same. And it's such a shame because it sounds GODLY

[@AGDWWFC]

@@Bobotzoaica when will comes back to social media and see all the shit we uploaded we are done for

[@cats-a-lot3609]

This one is so good :0

[@jobietench]

its so good ;-;

[@zoobuhgoo]

i think theres some errors in the lyrics in the description, heres my interpretation which im 99% confident is accurate also makes a lot more sense grammatically Sidewalk New York… It’s the incurable… The absolutely horrible… The wonderfully talented yet empty inside… Nobody. Taste does measure unfortunate blood Hang me from the chandelier A toe tag on the world Take your guess without counting the grains I’ll subtract some structure ‘til the subject’s pure and plain Bind me to my seat! Rub my hands together Put the wood between my teeth Keep away from me I could spiel as smog straight from the vaporizing dreams There’s nobody loves you here right now And nobody to love back anyhow The lights are on, I know And you might like the glow, but no one’s home There’s nobody loves you here right now And nobody to love back anyhow The lights are on, I know And you might like the glow, but no one’s home I see gravity’s lust neverending MKultra violet shoals I read you shimmy from the air Wrapped in black tessellations of orbit You’ll fall into me just like the moon unto the sea Keep away from me Buried like a needle in your eye and can’t you see Why these fumes I breathe… Taste like atmospheric pressure Hissing through my seams There’s nobody loves you here right now And nobody to love back anyhow The lights are on, I know And you might like the glow, but no one’s home There’s nobody loves you here right now And nobody to love back anyhow The lights are on, I know And you might like the glow, but no one’s home

[@kamukoma.2299]

3:10 sounds familiar, like from another song of his , but i cant figure out which 😭

[@frogskeleton222]

It reminds me of blackboxwarrior

[@kamukoma.2299]

​@@frogskeleton222IT SOUNDS SUPER CLOSE TO IT you might be right but for some reason it doesnt satisfy me

[@antekpatyk9425]

​@@kamukoma.2299Marsha, thankk you for the dialectics also has a similiar solo.

[@kamukoma.2299]

​@@antekpatyk9425THATS IT!!! Thank you !!!!!!😊

[@sol.christine333]

It's giving intro to any of the self ish songs yk

[@SilkWaterfall]

I'm very late, but I just thought about this. He could make a whole album with his unreleased songs, and he doesn't even have to complete them. Hell yes, it would be much better to have a studio version but like - this man really doesn't even have to enter the studio if he wants 😭(would be hella better tho, i mean live versions are hella cool don get me wrong,,,)

[@OptimalLeisure]

I'd be so down for another album that's just a collection of songs like Everything is a Lot was.

[@snaram8345]

Omw to become obsessed with covering this with probably wrong lyrics bc of my auditory processing issues EDIT: OMG THE LYRICS ARE IN THE DESCRIPTION IM SO GOOFY

[@TheRealWillWoodArchive]

i'm probably gonna be a cover of it too. i love this song fr

[@broodlettuce7936]

@@TheRealWillWoodArchive 😳

[@grahmar1597]

Honestly this kinda reminds me of black box warrior, not how it sounds but the theme is similar and I thinks it’s also about the Mk-ultra

[@Skel.LyBones]

Has anyone ever made a playlist with like all of his unreleased songs?

[@TheRealWillWoodArchive]

yeah, there is quite a few of them. just look up 'Will Wood Unreleased" and you'll find them

[@axo6920]

in the lyrics i think hes saying “anyhow” instead of “can be how” i also think hes saying “belt my hands together” instead of “put my hands together”

[@Miners_Charm]

it also feels like its alternating between "the lights are on, i know" and "the lights are all i know"

[@E.O.L.W.W]

does anywhone know were to find more songs like this? (and I mean not made by will wood)

[@goober324]

Nobody knows

[@echo5172]

I dont suppose anybody has the sheet music...

[@HyetalL]

god, I wish I did but right now I am starting to attempt to transcribe it in musescore 4 (I don't know how to play piano) because I want to add other instruments into the mic to sort of "tapewormify" it

[@echo5172]

if you have a link please share it! even if its not finished or it sucks!

[@HyetalL]

@@echo5172 I don't have a link unfortunately, since there is an incorrect melody for the first 4 seconds and that's all I got to, I'm gonna let the pros do their job in transcription (whoever that is and wherever they are)

[@npc-333]

oh my god???? /pos

[@TheRealWillWoodArchive]

i know, it's cool!

[@prismothalt]

he kinda looks like thomas sanders in the first half or so

[@Benzeel]

this is so very reminiscent of suburbia overture from the normal album, perhaps an earlier version? i know music very much can be completely resturectured even if its good, if you find something that sounds better with the lyrics or the song, very much assuming this is what this is, compare the lyrics of the two maybe?
