Wesley Willis: Chronic schizophrenia

[Minecraftedchicken]

this song scares the shit out of me

[jaketheman091]

Wesley "Shabazz" Willis? Seriously? That was the name his dad took. It's Wesley Lawrence Willis.

[edgarboxify]

One of the most powerful songs ever written.

[SwampThizzle]

Wes may be dead and gone, but his Schizophrenic Twin is still out there. Waiting.

[LMMFilms]

@SwampThizzle wrong diagnosis

[tweekin001]

This sounds an awful lot like "Jesus Christ."

[markman2000]

this is another nice slow melodic song, similar to "Jesus Christ"

so much emotion in his voice

[ScrewLimbBizkit]

I think more people should really listen to this man's (daniel johnson too) music, and see just how much music can help a person suffering from mental illness.

[TheThomas1313]

T'es mort mais c'est pas grave... moi je suis sûr que tu kiffe là-haut

[DoctorPencilK]

And you gotta love the way he sings "chronic schizophrenia" at 2:38.

[DoctorPencilK]

You know, this is Syd Barrett-level brilliance. This man is an honest-to-earth genius.

Also, is this the same beat as in "Jesus Christ"?

[ScrewLimbBizkit]

@DoctorPencilK

Willis used the same beat in almost every song, which isn't really a problem because most people listen to willis for his lyrics.

"Riding the streets with no music sucks. Everywhere i go, i cruise the streets being called asshole. Plus i am bein' ridiculed and called a bum and called stupid."

[zerokewl80]

its unbelieveable that this guy has so much material on here...

[closetome]

awesome

[fifthindependent]

lol he used the exact same synthesizer song for his song Jesus Christ.

[u2bzane]

is it just me or is the backround melody sound a little more complex than in many of his other tunes?

[Cosmikh0bo]

Chronic Schizophrenia!

[daviddowns81]

man, I love Wesley... and this is a great song... it shows how music therapy can play a huge part in the life of people with mental illness... all psychiatric hospitals and place for schizophrenics, bi-polar and so on... should have a music program.

I mean look at Wesley or Daniel Johnston, and the way music impacted there lives.

[espark1089]

@daviddowns81 daniel was manic depressive and last time i checked he's doing worse than any bipolar 1 afflicted person i've ever met... i have bipolar 1 and still have my handle on life... not that daniel doesn't have an awesome handle and perspective... he just isn't doing well and hasn't been since his late teens..

[Nederlandac]

I have shizophrenia too.

[julian1000]

No we don't.

[Samoriah]

Did you think that was clever?

[julian1000]

Well I understand I was being somewhat factually incorrect, because multiple personality disorder is very different from schizophrenia. That aside, yes I thought it was quite clever.

[coprographia]

Go to bed, grandpa.

[daviddowns81]

RIP Wesley, it has been 6 years today and you are not fogotten

[jfdoser]

This shit is weird but interesting because the guy is insane!

[MockEmpire]

all i hear is vulgarity
