James Iha's screaming heart breaking guitar in the back ground is what makes this song for me. It is haunting and mesmerizing at the same time fills in perfectly within Billy's lead guitar
@@GRYNGE7 One hundred % completely agree. I love that Maynard is always evolving as a writer and musician (Even though I think Billy writes most the lyrics for APC, but I'm sure Maynard has say. Anyways I was saying I love his evolution and kind of starting with Pushit on Salival and APC's Emotive album with covers and reimaginings of their songs. Puscifer released whole albums that were just remixed and reimagined pretty much all their back catalog, but that was all an overly long winded way of saying this is one song just fine the way it is.
I remember hearing this at first in the radio back in 2013 i used to think "this is so lame and boring" turns out i was lame and my taste was boring. I now love this song so much. Crazy how a few years change your mind about things. A Perfect Circle is one of the best bands ive ever heard.
Billy Howerdel is one of the most underrated guitar players and composers in music today. Alone, none of the parts would make much sense, but together they create such an atmosphere that can take you to far away places. Add Maynard's vocals to the composition, and it becomes otherworldly.
Completely agree. It’s Billy’s band, Maynard just sings in it. Listening to APC at 2am on New Year. Ive only seen them twice but i love the musicianships Billy invites, it’s like he pushes the others to beautiful heights. Must be incredible playing with him.
@@bmiller5713 I was there, too. I really get annoyed watching the video (stone and echo, which this was a part of), because the editing has a new shot every one or two seconds. Nothing like the experience, imo. At least the music is intact.
@acatnamedscamper3307 they are great but mjk is the greatest singer and song writer from the 90s or 2000s and second best isn't close and he is still doing it only front man I can even put close to this man is Layne
This is music at its most beautiful...this is art. This is transcendent this is almost an awakening I honestly am left speechless from the greatness that is A Perfect Circle.
smoke a little joint before listening and you feel the voices, the music much more intensive and you really think, that you are flying over the world... better than 3 weeks holidays...
EVERYTHING MJK does onstage has a meaningful purpose. Standing on the side in the dark has a purpose. To not focus on him but the music. Not all rock stars prance and bounce around. He is very humble. He knows what he's doing and it's for entertainment. He is a great musician, wonderful artist, and a pure genius!
If you think he's humble then you clearly don't know maynard watch like..any of his older interviews. And he DOES dance in most of the tool live shows. I'm not saying that any of these things makes him a bad person.. all it does is make him more original than all the posers out there... He does serve the song everytime and he is my idol.
Saw them a few months ago and wondered why he was in the back. Your reasoning makes a lot of sense now. Although i wouldve liked to see him at least once up close
O god if u have just found them amd havent heard their album thirteeenth step, u absolutely must drop everything u are doing and put a pair of head phones in ur head and let the noise of that album be a shotgun and blow ur head off lol because it will
I see those people who attended this live are lucky af. God! I don't know if they'll play the loop of songs ever again in a live like this. Absolutely brilliant, maynard taking the back seat being the front man. It's like the voice comes from the back of the head
So many emotions listening to this.... A perfect circle came into the perfect time of my life back in college...so many memories...got to see them live in Atlanta at the Tabernacle 20 years ago....
And I'm still here, hearing this song that helps me to understand that the way I was living it was destroying me. This song helped me to move on, and to realize that my little daughter needs me. Now I have a couple of years clean
Maynard is always in the back with little light on him. He doesn't want the focus to be on him & wants people to focus on what he feels is important, the music. He would do the show from backstage if it was up to him I'm sure.
@@Garumongo Yeah, big stage fright. He used to be front and center in the Aenima days and earlier. Not just front and stage, but in drag wearing fake tits. I suppose that was his way of making the situation ridiculous, so less scary. Then perhaps as Maynard realised just how serious of a band they were despite the often mocking lyrics, he preferred to keep the tone and mood of the performance in line with his music. The logical next step being to stand in a place that makes you less anxious.
@@Adam-tp8py he developed some condition where the lights mess with his balance. That’s why he is wearing sunglasses during this set. All his bands have to program multiple light shows I’m case he gets sick he signals the light tech and they switch to one to keep the lights off him.
@Cynthia May >Maynard has anxiety >Maynard wants to feel comfortable and make light of the situation >Dress ridiculously >Situation solved Where am I wrong?
Fucking....wow! How anyone doesn't like this song or any of the new tracks on Eat the Elephant is absolutely crazy. This song and the new album are an absolute masterpiece.
As far as the Eat The Elephant version is concerned, it's a re-recorded version of a song that came out on their compilation CD back in 2013. Aside from this one song, people are divisive on the latest album regardless (I personally enjoy it though)
Every time I see and listen to this...the song just moves me. It's beautiful. Every member of the band makes this beautiful. If you didn't like By and Down on Three Sixty I strongly recommend looking at this version because the "live" element makes the song even more soulful.
Me too. Its terribly sad and hopeless sounding(mostly the lyrics), but filled with love at the same time. It must be how it feels to have a son, daughter or family member when they make it hard for you to love them.
Ah, here comes the snobby elite. Heaven forbid I just enjoy a good song. Besides, just because the message in the lyrics is somber doesn't mean there isn't beauty in the craft and execution of the music.
This is so beautiful!! The thing that makes Maynard so alluring is how he in the shadows you just hear his gorgeous voice coming out of the darkness connecting you to the music.💕
I can remember August 1st, 2011 at Kingsbury Hall SLC, UT like it was yesterday... It was the first time this song hit my ears. It was a very surreal moment.
@@davazz9586I wanted to call bs but you sir are correct lol. I knew it wasn’t freeze because I was there but I wanted it to be him in my memory and had to look it up to verify.
The atmosphere of the song is beautiful it makes me feel relax, the voice the guitar, the drums, everything here fits. APC its a new band for me and all the songs I've listened of they, have its own feel and atmosphere
Moving in and out of the shadows Its no easier mission Holding onto how I picture you Showing only bits and pieces Till the tide betrays you and your empty allocution Searching your eyes for a hint or a trace of humility Searching your eyes for the saint is an act of futility Searching your eyes for a hint or a trace of it searching your eyes for humility searching your eyes for a hint or a trace I'm still searching searching Showing all the missing pieces Till the light betrays you and your empty allocution Saw the Piper by and down the river Caught his crippled alchemy From pounding waves of adoration Pied Piper float on down the river Bloated carcass crippled me The weight of adoration Moving in and out of the shadows Its no easy mission Holding on to how I picture you.
To me, this is a song about living with someone who's abused you and you're finally waking up as their mask slips and they show their true colors. My mom is a narcissist and this song and passive are my songs to her. It reminds me she will never change and I made the right decision going no contact last September.
Great performance. I saw these guys just before the new album came out. Amazing. Not gonna lie the album took me a couple of listens but I absolutely love it particularly this song
Amazing! I wouldn't expect nothing less from these incredible musicians (magicians). You can't explain to anyone how euphoric it is to see and hear them live. As well as TOOL. Love.
Man who ever mixed this, my god hats off. Just absolutely phenomenal because listening closely u can hear every instrument fucking perfectly and it all flows and weaves its emotional web together to snag its ear prey lol.. to create that which is a perfect circle. Absolutely jaw dropping

You girls are amazing, then, so lovely just to picture that scene.
Lucky man
I do too !!!! 😂😂❤️
So your daughter runs around yelling bloated carcass? Now that's metal😂
👍👍👍👍
James Iha's screaming heart breaking guitar in the back ground is what makes this song for me. It is haunting and mesmerizing at the same time fills in perfectly within Billy's lead guitar
The drummer is doing a cymbal fill that's not on the album recording. It's magnificent. This is in contention for my most favorite song ever.
Pretty sure it is on the 2013 version. The Eat the Elephant version just doesn’t match up

This live version is sooo much better than the album❤️❤️❤️
@@claytonbearden7793 agreed. It works most times but not this one. The slowed down version of Momma Sed is up there with Pushit Salival
Great observation. Seriously. It's all so damn good
I like this version better than the studio album version. You can really feel the emotion in the live version.
Yess the album was ok this make me cry you can just feel it oh maynard
I remember hearing this at first in the radio back in 2013 i used to think "this is so lame and boring" turns out i was lame and my taste was boring. I now love this song so much. Crazy how a few years change your mind about things. A Perfect Circle is one of the best bands ive ever heard.
not this song, I wonder which song in past albums made you think that tho.
This song + Maynard's voice... Man, I can't describe what I feel listening to this song live. It's a masterpiece!
Billy Howerdel is one of the most underrated guitar players and composers in music today. Alone, none of the parts would make much sense, but together they create such an atmosphere that can take you to far away places. Add Maynard's vocals to the composition, and it becomes otherworldly.
Ever hear Ashes Divide Fleetwood Mac cover of The Chain? Is was pretty amazingly dark.
ROB DURHAM going to look that up feel like I'll love it
Completely agree. It’s Billy’s band, Maynard just sings in it. Listening to APC at 2am on New Year. Ive only seen them twice but i love the musicianships Billy invites, it’s like he pushes the others to beautiful heights. Must be incredible playing with him.
No,I haven't heard it.I would like to.Is it on itunes?
Great composer for sure. In the studio, Billy writes and records all the music himself.
I envy anyone that was at this show. You got to see one of the best live shows ever. Truly spectacular
A light mist of rain fell the whole night and yes, it was damn near perfect.
This tour was insanity saw 3 shows n got to work 1 as well
I was at the Last Soundgarden with Chris Cornell singing songs to Jesus only to be murdered a hour later.
I'll go whenever they come 2 🇨🇦

Awesome sir... cheers from chile
Age doesn't matter

You the

I am 56... and i love this band too.
@@temporarymomentary wait til you're old you'll change that opinion quick 😁
Maynards voice is too legit for him to ever quit
Angel Deleon...HEEEEEY HEEEEEY! 😂
This song at 3:05 transports me to another dimension where the music flows down a euphoric waterfall crashing into my brain.
And it makes contact with the brain at 3:45....and the rest my friend is history! Pure extasey for the ears and mind!
Right on lol
This...... this song breaks my heart and fills my soul with so many emotions. I just love this song so damn much.
A singularity ❤
No one's voice compares to Maynard's! He is absolutely incredible. Brilliant!!!
@A cat named Scamper No, but Bowie yes.
@acatnamedscamper3307 maynard's voice is unique, whether is the best is subjective
@acatnamedscamper3307Not quite… they are all fantastic don’t get me wrong! But Maynard is on another level. So is Billy Howerdel.
@acatnamedscamper3307 they are great but mjk is the greatest singer and song writer from the 90s or 2000s and second best isn't close and he is still doing it only front man I can even put close to this man is Layne
Facts!
This is music at its most beautiful...this is art. This is transcendent this is almost an awakening I honestly am left speechless from the greatness that is A Perfect Circle.
a perfect circle 3 libras
smoke a little joint before listening and you feel the voices, the music much more intensive and you really think, that you are flying over the world... better than 3 weeks holidays...
Well said👏
EVERYTHING MJK does onstage has a meaningful purpose. Standing on the side in the dark has a purpose. To not focus on him but the music. Not all rock stars prance and bounce around. He is very humble. He knows what he's doing and it's for entertainment. He is a great musician, wonderful artist, and a pure genius!
You hit the nail on the head, brother, (or sister, I don't know) I noticed that as well. Maynard keeping himself in the background.

I'm not saying that any of these things makes him a bad person.. all it does is make him more original than all the posers out there... He does serve the song everytime and he is my idol.
I do agree with you, but at the same time it just makes people want to see him more.
Saw them a few months ago and wondered why he was in the back. Your reasoning makes a lot of sense now. Although i wouldve liked to see him at least once up close
I couldn’t love MJK anymore than I do. But he’s not humble lol. Everything else:agreed.
If this does not move you, then you have no soul.
i have 2
yeah!!!! i agree with you
i must have a soul makes me cry and happy at the same time
A fucking men
There’s a version of this song where Maynard finishes on a night note “holding on to how I picture YOU”. Heard it once, can’t find it anymore. Damn!
Maynard + Howerdel = the perfect fusion, unstoppable
This track is without a doubt
Pure GENIUS.
Billy,
Sir,
You totally nailed it.
Still moves me to tears. Every. Single. Time.
...Because your soul are listening...
I got chills when the crowd all threw up their peace signs, ughhh thats the kinda moments you live for
+NightEmbers And MJK hit them back with a live long and prosper in the end lol.
my most favoritest song ever, yest this is a good reason to live.
It’s not often I like a live version of a song more than the original.
This is the best version by far without a doubt
Why did it take me so long to find this fkn beautiful, gut wrenching, relatable band
It found you when you needed it the most, enjoy the ride.
O god if u have just found them amd havent heard their album thirteeenth step, u absolutely must drop everything u are doing and put a pair of head phones in ur head and let the noise of that album be a shotgun and blow ur head off lol because it will
God damn what an incredible band they are. I wish they would make a new album
New e.p coming
I see those people who attended this live are lucky af. God! I don't know if they'll play the loop of songs ever again in a live like this. Absolutely brilliant, maynard taking the back seat being the front man. It's like the voice comes from the back of the head
I just listened to this song for the last 3 hours straight and I regret not a single second of it.
I'm a ginger, I've never felt anything until now.

Why Is not being able to feel anything related to be a ginger?
Andrés Yanez good ?. It has nothing to do w being red headed
MEMES guys, memes.
Jeff Dixon I'm a ginger and autistic and can confirm this......
Brilliant comment! LOL
This song is a treasure for our world.
I just witnessed this live, 2 days ago at Knotfest México, it was life changing, what an amazing group of musician!!
Billys riffs so elegant and so simple at the same time. Hes a master of painting emotions with his music.
This is one of my 'it's great to be alive despite everything' songs 🖤
Can't wait to see them again live almost 20 years later in Ny
So many emotions listening to this.... A perfect circle came into the perfect time of my life back in college...so many memories...got to see them live in Atlanta at the Tabernacle 20 years ago....
We are old...lol.
Acabo de descubrir este grupo por casualidad y ... son simplemente buenísimos. Una grandísima sorpresa
I was speechless when I first heard this..So beautiful!
By And Down.....my favorite.....Love A Perfect Circle!!

I introduced this song to my daughter 4 years ago and it instantly became her favorite song. Now this is her favorite band and still favorite song.
Dude same here my 5year old. she just jamming to it
When I listen to this song again again she says...
Their talent never cease to amaze me, and their lyrics mean whatever meaning anyone suits their present needs, that's the beauty of their songs.
Every time I see and listen to this...the song just moves me. It's beautiful. Every member of the band makes this beautiful. If you didn't like By and Down on Three Sixty I strongly recommend looking at this version because the "live" element makes the song even more soulful.
They didn't break up though.
Me too. Its terribly sad and hopeless sounding(mostly the lyrics), but filled with love at the same time. It must be how it feels to have a son, daughter or family member when they make it hard for you to love them.
Ah, here comes the snobby elite. Heaven forbid I just enjoy a good song. Besides, just because the message in the lyrics is somber doesn't mean there isn't beauty in the craft and execution of the music.
Jake Wilferd no way. Been too long since the last tool record. his focus should be there when it needs to be and when it's ready to be.
to be fair, it's been even longer since since the last APC record not counting this live album
This is so beautiful!! The thing that makes Maynard so alluring is how he in the shadows you just hear his gorgeous voice coming out of the darkness connecting you to the music.💕
This song makes me sway in place. It's very nice and atmospheric. Most people won't get it but that's the best part 😉
We seriously need one more A Perfect Circle album! Please!!
First new Tool is coming 2014
Really?! That's some awesome news!
still no tool album
tonyAJ420 lol
Lol, Maybe to early to say it but I think there's not gonna be an official tool album...
I was there!so epicly beautiful!!gives me goosebumps.
The rain that night was Epic!!!
Yes it was so magikal!!!
Absolutely perfect setting for perfect circle
*a perfect circle
Dat live performance! Just awesome...
I love that every person in this band is as equally talented as the next 💖
You’re joking right?
Is it possible so much beauty?
Your face!...is so much beauty
Ana Leyva yeah so melodic and hauntingly beautiful , its almost a homage to George martin
This was life changing to hear in person
Everything about this song is perfect.

Fuck, man. No matter how many times I hear this song, chills every time. Fucking amazing performance. 🖖🏻
incontestablement l 'artiste le plus créatif de ces 30 dernières années . MJK transpire la musique par chaque pores de sa peau .
Quid de Steven Wilson ?
This goes straight to my soul!
B e a u t i f u l and captivating in every sense of the word! ❤
Absolutely incredible! Wish I could have been there!
One of the most underrated APC songs of all time
Been 11 years... i so hope they play this at Sessanta at Red Rocks in a few weeks.
Josh Freese really influences so much of how the song unfolds. He is a fabulous musician. Very well respected and known,he makes that song possible.
Drummer is Jeff Friedl
@@davazz9586I wanted to call bs but you sir are correct lol. I knew it wasn’t freeze because I was there but I wanted it to be him in my memory and had to look it up to verify.
God, Matt's backing vocals are absolutely divine

Jeff frideils style on drums is simply incredible love watching that guy drumming. And apologies if I spelled his last name wrong it’s tricky
I was there but barely remember it. Maynard is hypnotic.
The sound of musical consciousness
That's got to be the best thing I've ever read or heard in my fucking life fucking love it
Not only is this perfect, but being able to rock this at Red Rocks gives much credit... Perfectly Circle!! To the bone dogs...
This concert is the definition of 🔥 🔥
This is one of the greatest songs if not the greatest song to ever come on the Rock scene.
Waqas Ahmed are you suggesting it only qualifies as awesome on the rock scene?
Agreed
Amazing, i wanto cry 😔
The atmosphere of the song is beautiful it makes me feel relax, the voice the guitar, the drums, everything here fits. APC its a new band for me and all the songs I've listened of they, have its own feel and atmosphere
Such an amazing song, and this was a fantastic performance of it.
Moving in and out of the shadows
Its no easier mission
Holding onto how I picture you
Showing only bits and pieces
Till the tide betrays you and your empty allocution
Searching your eyes for a hint or a trace of humility
Searching your eyes for the saint is an act of futility
Searching your eyes for a hint or a trace of it
searching your eyes for humility
searching your eyes for a hint or a trace
I'm still searching searching
Showing all the missing pieces
Till the light betrays you and your empty allocution
Saw the Piper by and down the river
Caught his crippled alchemy
From pounding waves of adoration
Pied Piper float on down the river
Bloated carcass crippled me
The weight of adoration
Moving in and out of the shadows
Its no easy mission
Holding on to how I picture you.
I'm afraid to ask where you found this transcription, but they're wrong...And way wrong
@@SunDedGon😅😂😂
I grew up in Japan and I think this song speaks to me. I was captivated the first time I heard it and still feel the same way today.
This live version is better than studio version.
Freddy González AMEN!!!
absolutely yes.
Much better.
its why they recorded it this way in a new version
Far superior!
To me, this is a song about living with someone who's abused you and you're finally waking up as their mask slips and they show their true colors. My mom is a narcissist and this song and passive are my songs to her. It reminds me she will never change and I made the right decision going no contact last September.
I need a time machine, I want to go to this day and see this in person.
To see this live must've been breath taking.
Melissa Romo all their shows are like this, you just need to go and enjoy greatness
only Mr. M.J. Keenan can make the words, "bloated carcass," sound so beautiful...
Holy sweet God... I am at a loss for words.
The drummer on this one is phenomenal jeff Friedl 💯
❤️
Great performance. I saw these guys just before the new album came out. Amazing. Not gonna lie the album took me a couple of listens but I absolutely love it particularly this song
Best version of this song by far, amazing
Wow! My favorite song by APC!
Those 2 hours in the red rocks were by far the greatest experience of my entire life.
Easily one of my favorite bands.
Essa música é piscodelica, muita viagem, ela leva numa atmosfera surreal ❤
I love this version much more than the album version. The drums towards the end seem to fit it a lot better.
dude this show must have been to die for.
such an incredible song and as usual, an outstanding performance. heard this the other day, and jus gave me the chills. thank you apc.
Amazing! I wouldn't expect nothing less from these incredible musicians (magicians). You can't explain to anyone how euphoric it is to see and hear them live. As well as TOOL. Love.
I have this playing in the background everyday lol. Awesome performance.
They're better live than on the records...this one is mind-blowing 🤘
Man who ever mixed this, my god hats off. Just absolutely phenomenal because listening closely u can hear every instrument fucking perfectly and it all flows and weaves its emotional web together to snag its ear prey lol.. to create that which is a perfect circle. Absolutely jaw dropping
That guitar makes you feel all the emotions that words can't.
Can't wait to see them and Pucifer in LA in May on Maynard's birthday!
so happy I got to see them with Paz/Jeordie and Josh
One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard... Brandenburg concertos and this... strange, but true...
Head and shoulders better than the studio version, I've seen them twice and loved every moment, thank you APC for 24 years of enjoyment!
