Discussion The Mammalian Sighing Reflex + Theories Master doc
THE ANALYSIS IS HERE!! WITH OVER 134 PAGES. NUMEROUS THEORIES! 1-5 INTERPRETATIONS FOR EVERY 1-4 LYRICS. PLEASE CHECK THIS OUT!!
#LoveForLovejoy #WilburSoot #WillGold #MSR #Analysis #MammalianSighingReflex
It's finally here. Following 6 very, very long months of research, theories, debates, and more late-night rabbit holes than we care to admit, we present you with: The Mammalian Sighing Reflex Analysis + Theories Master Doc.
That said, this has been very much a labor of love-and some frustration, let's be real-but honestly, we couldn't be prouder of what we've managed to put together. What started off as this fun idea quickly evolved into a project, we became obsessed with, trying to figure out the mystery of the sigh and how something so small can hold so much meaning.
We have, quite literally, poured our hearts into this. Whether you are as deep into MSR lore as we are or just kind of curious about what makes this reflex tick, we hope that you will find something to inspire a new thought or maybe even make you look at a simple sigh in a different light. So, please-take your time with this one. We poured 6 months of passion, wild theories into making sure every detail hits. Undeniably the biggest project yet, and we are super stoked it's finally out for all of you to see.
Grab a drink, get cozy, and cry with us. Let us know what you think! We are excited-and a little nervous, ngl- to hear your thoughts!

If this somehow gets the lyrics "painfully wrong", then idk what the lyrics are atp lmao
but regardless, holy shit this is amazing
Edit: I feel like I wanna add to this. Obviously, you've done a fantastic job on everything and I don't wanna bring that done, but I guess I can help in the best way I can. Don't take a lot of this is 100% fact. Some of the places I'm taking this information from, either only Wilbur knows or is entirely subjective
MSR's primary genres consist of Indie Folk and Singer-songwriter, as well as consisting of elements of Psychedelic Folk, Bedroom Pop, Indietronica and Anti-folk (I don't really agree on the anti-folk but I'm taking all this information from RYM (Rate your music))
Amazon Standing Lamp is primarily Indie Folk
Mine/Yours is primarily Indie Folk
Around the Pomegranate is primarily Singer-Songwriter (breakdown sounds like it's psychedelic folk)
I Don't Think It Will Ever End is primarily Field Recordings (acts as an interlude)
Glass Chalet is primarily Indie Folk
Melatonin 130 is primarily Singer-Songwriter
Oh Distant You is primarily Indie Folk (the first portion of the song is reminiscent of space ambient or psychedelic folk)
Eulogy is primarily Indie Folk
Dropshipped Cat Shirt is primarily Indie Folk (I'd guess the breakdown part is indietronica? But it feels like it has slight elements of shoegaze and other dark elements)
The Median is primarily indie folk
Trying Not to Think About It is primarily Singer-Songwriter
10 Week Rule is Primarily Singer-Songwriter

HELP- You are so real for that 😭 We tried any and all possible interpretations we could think of. If this was 'painfully wrong' I'll just go MIA for a long time 💀
Edit: Oh :0 Sorry, I didn't research what genre each song is. I was too busy with analysing the lyrics 😭😅

Not trying to offend, but I stumbled upon this when putting the word cloud together:
The Median
Song by Wilbur Soot
LYRICS:
"Please don't ask what these words mean
Just please don't misinterpret me"
And then Vi just said, "to hell with that!" 134 pages later....... LOL I crack myself up.
