- Skullz reacts to Parabol & Parabola by Tool
Tool is an American rock band from Los Angeles. Formed in 1990... due to Tool's incorporation of visual arts and very long and complex releases, the band is generally described as a style-transcending act and part of progressive rock, psychedelic rock, and art rock. The relationship between the band and today's music industry is ambivalent, at times marked by censorship, and the band's insistence on privacy....Tool has won four Grammy Awards, performed worldwide tours, and produced albums topping the charts in several countries.

NEXT WEEK IS TICKS & LEECHES!!!!
Appreciate each and every one of you in the comments!!!
Iâm really curious what your take is going to be on Ticks and Leeches.
Super stoked man! Just an FYI when you get to it; Disposition, Reflection, and Triad must go back to back to back. They are known as the Holy Trinity.
My fruit đ is bruised and borrowed đ
after that track the great stuff will roll over you.
Skullz, we can wait. You might need to slow down actually after Ticks & Leeches. Title track Lateralus is going to meet all expectations.
Ticks and Leeches, I can appreciate, but it may be my least favorite track in their entire catalogue. Some would say they even meant it to be.
Lateralus⊠Wait a month.
When we say this album saved our lives we aren't kidding. â„ïž
made me tear up ...cuz it's so damn true.
Yes. This.
Same. This specific song really helped me cope with my brothers death.
This â€
Believe it or not, this album KEEPS. GETTING. BETTER.
Like spiraling out... right?
What Tool album doesnât?
It does. They all do.
Less go golden fettucini alfredo ratio
The part that gets me every time is âcelebrate this chance to be alive and breathing.â đ this album truly saved my life when I was at my worst, The nuances and emotions truly pour through when you take acid or shrooms to these songs itâs an awakening đ
For sure. Listening to this album has always helped center me when I feel like I'm going off the rails. I know it sounds silly or cliché, but its kinda my "self-help" music. My eyes still spring a leak every time I hear the last lyrics of Parabola and I've probably heard it a few hundred times.
That line reminds me of the power of *right now*. The past is gone and unchanging, the future isn't here yet. All we have is Now.
Tool finds you when you need it most. Just like the lyrics to Jimmy: "I'll move to heal
As soon as pain allows" When you are ready to hear it, it hits you like a giant pill of comfort and pain.
I agree 100% tool has helped get me through my rough patches!
I was on acid listening to the grudge and I literally felt so much anger and hurt leave my body and mind when Maynard screamed. Very healing
If i could offer my perspective on the lyrics of Parabol... after Ănema, Maynard was teetering on the brink of true nihilism and his fans followed him to that brink. In the late 90s and into early 2000, there was a sense of impending doom and a loss of purpose. We were spinning rudderless, without any sort of goal or purpose and the grand promises of a glorious future full of flowers and sausages all ended up being just puffery. As Chuck Palahniuk put it, "Weâre the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great Warâs a spiritual war⊠our Great Depression is our lives. Weâve all been raised on television to believe that one day weâd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we wonât. And weâre slowly learning that fact. And weâre very, very pissed off." And the lyrics of Ănema echoed this rage... but with Lateralus, Tool was giving us an alternative to the nihilism that had overwhelmed so many of us. And Parabol/Parabola are the blueprint for the gratitude necessary to start the voyage back from The Edge. Importantly, there are certain words that Maynard sings with a capitalization that is lost in the lyrics. Specifically, the word "One" which I believe refers to your existence and your being in totality. And the way the lyrics are written and spoken, the end of one sentence applies to both the previous sentence but also to the next sentence jointly and severally. So basically, applying this algorithm, the lyrics can be interpreted as:
So familiar and overwhelmingly warm
This One, this form I hold now...
Embracing you, this reality here
This One, this form I hold now...
So wide eyed and hopeful...
wide eyed and hopefully wild.
We barely remember what came before this precious moment ***(I have always interpreted this "moment" as being the moment of your birth)***
Choosing to (Be here),
Be here right now, hold on, stay inside (this body)
This body holding me, reminding me that:
I am not alone in (this body)...
This body makes me feel... eternal (feeling eternal...)
All this pain is an illusion
This song is essentially a celebration of You being born, of your sperm winning the most important race you'll ever run, and a celebration of the astronomical improbability of You ever breathing, laughing, loving and eventually dying. And it begs you to HOLD ON, STAY INSIDE of this HOLY EXISTENCE because ALL THIS PAIN IS AN ILLUSION.
It's a relief to know that I am not the only one who gets emotional listening to Tool. Sometimes I don't even know where it comes from, it just overwhelms me.
Someone told me once, one does not just listen to Tool, one has to hear Tool and let yourself go into the music head first and feel the journey.
I've said this earlier in your TooL journey, but it bears repeating: You are BY FAR my favorite TooL reactor. You don't pause too much, you aren't afraid to dig into the lyrics or be vulnerable with how they impact you, and your joy in hearing each successive song (and the subsequent growth of the band) is written on your face in ALL CAPS. I will not be sad when the journey ends, I will just be happy that we took it together. Side note, PLEASE listen to Passenger by Deftones, which has Maynard on it. I don't wanna wait until this album is over lol
I appreciate you man! Thank you for being a part of it and making this journey something to look forwards to đ€đ
Good call on Passenger. If I recall correctly, Maynard also had a large role in the production and overall sound of that song.
This!
A TOOL journey ends ⊠I think not. Every time you listen , something else comes out or what your favorite track is will change as you change or an event of life changes you Iâve been in 30 years now , still learning from them collectively
A TOOL journey ends ⊠I think not. Every time you listen , something else comes out or what your favorite track is will change as you change or an event of life changes you Iâve been in 30 years now , still learning from them collectively
Sir...
Do yourself a favour and check the official video.
This song was painful as hell to play to my terminal (36) BF....
(He just loved Tool)
Yet, he made pain look like an illusion...
At a certain point, the staff at the hospital came to us and asked if we understand how terminal, terminal is.
Because we choose to celebrate every bit of life we would have left.đ
Wow, you're an example of an awesome person!!
This song is in 4/4 but itâs in Drop B tuning. Most of their songs are in Drop D but this is one of the few exceptions and itâs why it sounds so gritty
Yeah it has a very different feel but it's incredible! đ€
I hate to be that guy but itâs not in drop b. The e and are tuned to b and e.
Never gets old....ever. No matter how many years or how many times you hear these songs, they reach out and grab you. And each one will speak to you different depending on your life situation or what kind of day your having. Such a great band, they are geniuses. It's an honor to have shared this plane of existence at the same time as these guys.
I cannot wait for their version of no quarter. Probably the best cover Iâve ever listened to imo
Gotta listen to both straight through next time. The transition between the two hits so hard.
my heart SANK when he paused and that commercial popped up! OF ALL THE TIMING
@@StiffyCapp yeah me too! :(
He should listen to the music video itâs seamless
Exactly.... I was like WTF....I want a do over ...unbroken...
They all fucking do it⊠every fucking time. đ
@Skullz - You, sir, are an amazing individual. Your intellect, insight, and depth have been awe-inspiring to witness as I have watched so many of your reactions up to this point. It gives me great joy to know there are still people in this world like you that actually exist. Over the course of 50 years in this life, I have become quite jaded and indifferent towards most people, for many many reasons I cannot even begin to explain. However, after witnessing the amazing way your mind works and witnessing the incredibly honorable characteristics you possess, it has restored some of my faith in humanity. I am not sure of your background/upbringing or to who/what credit is owed for bestowing upon you your gift/ability to be such a great example for others to follow, but whoever or whatever it was, I am grateful. Please continue to be a shining beacon of hope for those of us that had lost some faith in our fellow human beings to be positive and kind to each other. It really makes a larger impact than you can even imagine. Thank you!
Damn..... I appreciate that. I try and could probably be trying harder but thank you.
I feel the same way sometimes but I try to remind myself that people aren't where they want to be most of the time. They are lost on their journey moreso than at their destination đŻ Tool has been inspiring some more hopeful and helpful lyrics for my own music! I hope one day I can help someone the way they've helped me! Much love and thank you for your comment! đ€đâ€ïž
Nihilism is a bitch of a thing to tame. It never quite gos away, and the jaded I understand so fully, especially witnessing the loss of life I experienced in the military. Bombing people to oblivion will jumpstart that nihilism to a level most could never imagine. If you served, as i did, know that there are those of us out there that are in the same internal battle and if you need to talk, i am here brother.
@@Skullzrapper you already are helping more than you know.
Thank you! I'd like to see more enlightenment and wisdom spill into the hip hop scene and hopefully i can manage to do more of that ij the future. Btw, I don't know your own personal struggles but I'm around if you ever need someone to talk to. Just send me a message on IG or Discord đŻ I appreciate you bro đ
Beautifully said sir. I couldn't agree more.
It's pretty crazy I have been a Tool fan since I saw them in 1992 in Seattle and all these years later I feel the emotion right along with you. Life changing band!
đ€đ€đ€
From this point on itâs only the beginning man they out due themselves from every track here on out, and in terms of this track this song is pretty self explanatory, we barley remember what happened before the moment we were born, hell we barley remember being an infant at all, but by choosing to be here in this moment not looking to the past or the future for answers we can find peace in the present by embracing it and realizing weâre not alone in are own minds and that all the pain we go through is just an illusion we are eternal beings, this concept is followed by the rest of the songs on this album, itâs an indescribable journey that will never be topped again by any artists, this album is as good as music can possibly be and even more, it being a concept album, you will see the end message and the point by the end by reaching the crown, this song combo is 4 out of 7 because itâs following the chakras of the human body, every track is represented by it to reach enlightenment, the symbol behind the figure on the cover art is the tree of life symbol, they show it on the monitors of their live shows when they played Disposition Reflection Triad đ this album also features the last angry track of their career up until this point, it has a very deep meaning that you wouldnât be able to catch unless you understand the background of what tool knows and do, they are into a lot of magik and the occult, it honestly pisses me off when people say their atheists especially with songs like parabola, Maynardâs Adam Justin and Danny have stated multiple times their into spirituality and metaphysics so that idea is just absurd, a quote from Maynard himself âif you donât believe in magik or the spiritual realm of some sorts, your art probably sucks.â đ great reaction man canât wait to see the rest đ
We chose to come to this life before we became. Choosing to be here, not remembering who or what we were in our past life. This is our Holy experience: choosing to be here in this body. We are eternal life â€ïž
Can't wait until you get to Reflection. Most fans will insist that you do the "Holy Trinity" of Disposition, Reflection, and Triad together. But Reflection is the crown jewel of the three, just a magical experience.
Just to clarify, there's nothing at all wrong with playing all three together. You'll love it no matter how you play them!
I cry all the time when I hear these
Masterpieces đą let it out !!!!
Itâs musically moving !
Itâs lyrically magical !
tâs mind blowing !
Itâs soul healing !
Itâs eye opening !
Itâs so much more !
đ€ŻđđȘŹâ€ïžâđ©čđđ§đ¶
Iâm here for it skullz đđ»ââïž
See you next week âŠ
Much love Christina! See you next week!đ€đâ€ïž
Best part of my Tuesdays!
Much love! đ€đ
Been waiting for this one for a looong time. This is one of their absolute best. Haven't watched yet but I know you are gonna be blown away...again :)
Love seeing new Tool fans being born. There's so much more to listen to my friend.
Salival
Hands down my favorite album of all time. It was so far ahead of it's time and still is. Very spiritual stuff.
This will always be my favorite most spiritual song. Having just been diagnose with Leukemia and seeing them just before I started treatment, I was in tears by the time he got to "this body...". Best spiritual experience I've ever had.
The music video for this one is pretty sick too, def recommend checking it out on your repeat listen! Adam Jones did videography work before jumping full time into TOOL, so he directs and designs most of their videos.
As you've probably figured out by now, you're listening through an absolute masterpiece for the first time; this is one of life's moments this song is written about. Enjoy the ride!
Yes, it never gets old. Over 30 years and I have more respect. Let it get you, join us.
1. I wouldn't miss hearing your full analysis. đđœ
2. A wise man once said, "never apologize for crying, to anyone, ever". There's nothing "un-manly" about feeling something deeply and letting that show. Honestly, those are some of my favorite Reactions.
I appreciate that! I just don't want to lose it mostly because it's hard to continue the reaction like that lol. Thank you for your words đŻ
You're absolutely right man. Think I said this earlier, this album really is all about growth-mentally, emotionally and musically. That analogy with the rings of Saturn was an interesting take I've never thought before. Cool to see you enjoying the ride đ€
Need more albums like this! đŻ
@@Skullzrapper 10,000 Days man, up next!
@@Skullzrapper Haha you've still got 2 more to go. Not going to say that 10,000 Days or Fear Inoculum are better nor worse-not at all. Each are brilliant on their own merits. It's important to keep in mind, that there was a lot of time in between each albums yeah. I do believe Lateralus was their peak, musically. But live? Ănima. That eras shows were amazing man. TooL did 3 full tours for that record, plus the New Year's Eve show where they played quite a bit of it like 6 months before its release still one of, if not THE Best show I've ever seen
@@benmacdhui i saw one of those AEnema shows back in 1996 , in Belgium - when Maynard was painted in light blue . it was indeed phenomenal
Song got me too dude!! We love the feels, please donât fight it. And I canât wait for Ticks and Leeches!! I can hear it in my head itâs I type these words
Only reason I'm fighting it is because I won't be able to get out my thoughts if I do lol. Much love đ€
Greatest album of all time... cool to see someone appreciating it and going through it for the first time.
What you saod in the first part of Parabol reminding you of a monk chant was spot on, I'll explain why. A parabola is the name of the shape expressed by the function y=x^2, the shape is special because the y value is every real number from 0 to infinity and never a number lower than that. This song is based on Buddhist philosophy, namely that life has no opposites or negatives (like a parabola), the opposite of life is not death because the opposite of death is birth. Life is as ceaseless and neverending as Entropy; just as eternal, just as immortal.
I've been finding it very interesting to watch this journey he's on, and in many ways I think it's because he's interpreting the lyrics from such a different perspective than my own. For me in the beginning of this song he's talking about an eternal spirit choosing to be born into a human body to experience "one moment" which is the entirety of that lifetime.
As an old man I see all of the sacred geometry and spiritual interpretations, whereas @Skulls sees it from a young mans perspective, relating largely to personal relationships and self growth. It's been an enriching experience, and I guess I'm writing this as a reply to your comment because I wanted to genuinely thank you for that perspective, and for the math I have to go look up now. The beauty of Tool (I think) is that we're all right. Cheers :)
You're getting close to the edge and it's really exciting. You just have 3 videos left for this album if you do this how you should. 1. Ticks & Leeches. 2. Lateralus (hold on tight) & 3. Disposition/Reflection/Triad/Faaip de Oiad. Love Tool journeys, not many are patient enough to do it like you are doing it, which is the absolutely right way to listen to these masterpieces. Remember, we're eternal all this pain is an illusion!!!
Absolutely the way to split up the rest of the album. Gotta keep holy trinity together and Faaip do Oiad doesn't need it's own video.
In hindsight, Faaip de Oiad is almost a perfect start to 10,000 Days, lol. But yes, the last four tracks are pretty much meant to be listened to in one go, especially after being setup by the lyrics of Lateralus before them.
@@nerdconfirmed3210 I hadn't thought of this. It transitions perfectly into Vicarious and then Rosetta Stoned works with it too.
Parabol/Parabola is always one of the first to come to mind when I dare think of my favorite Tool song....then a voice says, "just stop now"
đđđ
"What came before this precious moment choosing to be here" - this precious moment is this life
A truly beautiful song. I always get a really moving almost spiritual reaction every time I hear it. Itâs my happy place. As far as the album goes, the 10/10âs donât let up. Ticks and Leeches is up next and legend has it, Danny Carey nailed the drums in one take!
When he screams ALIVE!! is when I turn up the volume to max. It's the best part in my opinion. XD
This song will make you break down...just listen to it a few more times;)
Excantly. Choosing to be here. Cry. Feel. Reminding me
You've quickly become my favorite Tool reactor. You seem to "get it" and your analysis and interpretation seem to align exactly with mine. I also like that you looked back at other songs and commented after further listens. That's super important in listening to Tool!
Thanks! Yeah it's a lot to juggle but everything feels so connected to eachother đŻ
they dont do alot in 4/4 time but when they do....they do it sooooo good.. btw the next song ticks and leeches is alot different than the rest of album. the song is in response to the record label pushing for a more nu metal sound , something they could play on the radio. the time this album came out nu metal was huge. the song is a well ok here yo go and f you. i love ticks , and danny goes off
I heard Danny did his part in one shot, he is that good he never fucks up. The few times he has Maynard always points it out. âDanny are you high?â Itâs a funny inside joke with the band.
I think Ticks and Leeches is a fantastic song! It's among the most aggressive metal songs they've put out, kinda like Triad. Although Triad is really part of the holy trinity, but that's a whole different conversation.
@@DUXALMUSIC Yeah. We gotta make sure holy trinity is one video. It'll be long, but they go together.
@@Aaronsolnelson For sure! I loved the lateralus tour when they'd do all 3 together. Just incredible...
Towards the end of the song you can hear Danny say "mother f@%$er" cause the other member of the band were making faces at him, trying to make him laugh and mess up.
goosebumps every time... this is the song that inspired my TOOL obsession ahahha
That last 90 seconds of Grungy distorted guitar at the end of Parabola is where we are reminded that the Art of Tool goes beyond the music we hear and expands into the Video where the visual aspect really completes the experience of this song pair, showing us the emergence of the 3rd Eye and the dawn of enlightenment. I would welcome anyone's interpretation of the early part of the video that goes with Parabol; Three friends sharing a healthy snack?
Watch the official video. That last segment shows how our essence rises up through the body and back into the ethos. It's beautiful.
This song always reminds me of the quote, "We are spirit beings having a human experience."
This song changed my life...made me want to live. TOOL are a gift that they will never understand, I am so lucky to be on this planet at the same time. Great reaction dude.
You nailed it when you said this song is about being connected, you really should watch the music video on your own time, because thatâs exactly what it is, we are all one conscious in a flowing stream connected by one force, the last minute describes this exactly đ
I might do a seperate reaction to the video at another point đ€
@@Skullzrapper thatâd be awesome man, once your finished with the catalog, you could check out opiate, the rest of Salival, the demo tape, opiate2 and the video with that, the live shows, and the music videos for sober, prison sex, Stinkfist, Ănema, Schism, Parabola and Vicarious, be forewarned the visuals these guys produce are very bizarre and trippy yet so intriguing, you could spend hours trying to decipher every little thing you see haha hell to this day I still notice something different every time i see them but they all serve a purpose to the song there played over, remember that everything tool does isnât by accident, they are the most intricate band of all time, I say that objectively not subjectively not just because there my favorite band but the concepts the imagery the mathematical sequences they use the concepts of alchemy and John Dee, they are very much especially Danny into the occult and magik sacred geometry etc. also you could almost say they have a fetish with the number 7 lol itâs a lot to explain in one comment but youâll understand more once you finish out the catalog and if you were to react to a couple videos explaining the secrets behind the music, thatâs also an idea but yeah long story short đ if your up to it once your done with FI thereâs still PLENTY of material for you to react to and enjoy đ
A truly motivational song, love the driving force behind the rhythm. Itâs like shifting gears in a sports car, then all of a sudden you leave the ground and youâre flying into space. This album is an emotional roller coaster for sure, so ahead of its time - canât believe it was released 21 years ago! Amazing reaction again Skullz, much love, see ya on the next one.
See you soon! đ€
I've always taken "this body holding me..." to mean both a loved one AND/OR our own physical form depending on my mood.
But yeah, we've been being gotten by these songs for years. 20 years on it still hits; Wet eyes and chills. Thanks again for sharing your reaction and your enthusiasm. When you love something so much and for so long it is a genuine joy watching someone discover and appreciate it like you have.
As a parent, I've always related these two songs to the birth of a child. The chaos, the pain, everything that comes before that precious moment.....This body, holding me. Be my reminder here that I am not alone in, This body, this body holding me, we are eternal (because we live on in our children) all this pain is an illusion.....this song always gets me.
If it wasn't for this song, I probably would've never become a TOOL fan, It got me hooked instantly
It's so good! đŻ
@@Skullzrapper Agree, also you should've listened to them without separating them.The transition got me hooked, and it's just magical.Also be ready for the next track, it's their heaviest song to date
If it wasnât for this album I wouldâve killed myself no joke lol
@@hank35682 damn, man, this further shows how Tool can be a really good therapist, music in general
Yeah it sucks because I have no idea what I'm going into with these videos lol. I know why that was important now đ
Love your tool reactions one of my favorite bands and one of my favorite albums! Just wait you only scratched the surface! đ€Ł
đ€đ€đ€
Nice peaceful songs before the next track Ticâs and Leaches a big F you song. Once again Skullz an awesome reaction great emotion.
Appreciate you bro! đ€
They'll get you dude they will get you.
NEVER! Lol
If they didn't do it here, Wings for Marie will get him!
@@Aaronsolnelson ya man I have a hard time with it.
I enjoy seeing the pure joy on your face when you react and enjoy this beautiful Tool experience/journey đ
The past has passed. The future is uncertain and unattainable.
Right now is all we have, and it truly is a gift. Thatâs why itâs called the PRESENT!
đđ€Żđđ€ if you complete the entire journey of the Tool albums you are going to be a change man and you're going to be crying a lot more
What a wonderful journey with you absolutely love this ...those vocals thanku for your incredible reaction ..hope you feeling good thanku so much love and God bless always lovely skullz x
Thanks Wendy â€ïžđ€
@@Skullzrapper so welcome beautiful x
It in my mind, this song is about our spirit in a transient moment in time. Appreciate the experience.
THE PATIENT is that great sir. Reflection awaitsâŠâŠ..
Well shit, I just went through this whole playlist and now I need to see you react to the rest of their work. Greatly looking forward to your upcoming listens!
I appreciate that đŻ New Tool reaction every Tuesday đ€
Watching your first time is like reliving my first time, and thereâs so much more growth to come.
Love Justin's Bass in the pre chorus with the fuzz pedal, really pushes it along. Think the video of just Justin's bass is on CZcams if anyone is interested! đ Great reaction.
Appreciate it đ€
True story. This song was the catalyst for my first out of body experience. Well this song and mushrooms lol. But in the defense of the mushrooms, I was not a beginner when this experience occurred. And honestly the dose wasn't even big. But I was for sure peaking. And I was with my best friend in the whole world who I had tripped with before and frequently went UFO spotting with. We also have the exact same taste in music and have bonded over music since we were like in the 6th grade. Anyway, we are both tripping on mushrooms and sitting in front of my computer watching the parabola video. And towards the end, when the third eye starts travelling up the body of the character in the video, I start to feel like my whole body start vibrating. I stay in a trance until the eye leaves the top of the guy's head and then all of a sudden I am looking down at myself and my friend from the ceiling. It catches me off guard and I freak out and the next thing I know I have jumped up out of my seat and thrown my chair backwards. I spent the rest of the night in my bed alone bc I thought I had nearly died and didn't know how to process it. Was a life changing moment for me and I have never been the same since
Hopefully it was a change for the better my friend đŻ
Absolutely two fo the best rock/metal songs ever written and perhaps TOOL's greatest message, without a doubt Maynards finest work....these are WORDS TO LIVE BY! Forever Tool Army!
And remember way back when ...I told you there was a reason the Grudge was placed first....he was letting go....the patient began "the path" to finding this new perspective......fucking genius! And this may sound crazy...but there is some even bigger stuff coming
I knew you were gonna lose it when Adam steps out front on that solo lol he continues to just burst through as you go!!
Its AMAZING! So here for it! đ€
Super excited for next Tuesday! Remember Skullz, we have each other. All this pain is an illusion! đ„
Our lives in the grand scheme of things are just a parable. Make the most of it
I wasnât expecting you to have an emotional reaction to this song, but Iâm glad it happened, this album is about letting go of the negative and embracing what it means to be human. I had to learn that first, but this album has gotten me out of some dark places
Boy are you in for a change of pace next Tuesday đČđđđđ„
AAALLLIIIIIIIVVVE! Says it all. Spot on reaction as always, my friend! Keep going... we're there with you!
This is exactly what I wanted from Adam!
7empest..... "Hold my Beer....."
From the beginning of Lateralus to the end... all of 10,000 days.... and through Fear Inoculum. You will continue to think it can't get any better..... it does.
The lyrics of this song resonate to me in this meaning....The growth from being born and our relation to our parents to becoming a parent and experiencing that inversely.
Very interesting interpretation! đ„
Play this/these songs at my funeral đđ€đ”
Thatâs my thought as well. I want to remind people to embrace life and just enjoy the ride. All the pain is an illusion.
I wish I could hear this again for the first time
This set BANGS! The transition from A to B is epic! Jaw dropping in fact. Great job Skullz. Now listen again without stopping at the break. KICK ASS!
So glad to see you "getting it".
Oh I have! Many times now lol đ€
@@Skullzrapper it makes me feel better that I'm not the only one that chokes up from time to time listening to TđïžđïžL. You still have one down the road that gets me EVERY DAMN TIME. You'll know when you get there. Peace brother.
Relating to what you say at the beginning of this video, The Patient is MY favorite Tool song. There are close 2nd favorites like Reflection and Eulogy, but the music and the melody of the lyrics really got to me from first time I heard this album when it first came out and it really is a good song to introduce new listeners to as it's a deep cut, but really accessible because the meaning is so universal.
Also, I think that you would really enjoy their ACTUAL video for this, cuz Tricky from Massive Attack is in it as well, man!!
Oh thats dope! Yeah I'll probably do a seperate reaction at some point! đŻ
Thank you for sharing your vulnerability with us! Love your takes! Spiral out!
Much love! đ€
And it just keeps going. It's crazy as a Tool fan to know what's in store for you, like for the next few months you're going to experience some mind blowing shit. There's like 3 of my top 5 personal favorites that you haven't even heard yet!
Keep in mind my top 5 changes on the regular
"This songs going to get me, ITS NOT GETTIN ME" Had me laughing because this song and other tool songs have definitely gotten me haha. This album is just incredible and as always its great to watch someone genuinely enjoy tools work here. Cheers!
đđđ Cheers my friend!
I can't wait until he gets to 10,000 days. Black and white Skullz is gonna be pissed.
@@mstorrboy that is going to be quite the ride, most definitely.
With the next Song "Ticks and Leeches" you will hear one the most genius Drumbeats in Musichistory. I love it.
I absolutely love watching you figure it out! Its truly a highlight when you post another Tool video.
Sometimes, you gotta let the feels get you!
Thank you!
Thank you đŻ
OMG, you paused it in between đ€Ż lol...I always feel more inspired Tuesdays after your reaction/review! Congratulations on your success. âïž
Love to hear it my friend! đ€
I never thought I would hear a Manchester Orchestra comparison to Tool. Love it.
Yes!!! đ€
I think it's awesome that this song was quoted in the book dream weaver
Damn, I literally just cried at the end there. Damn. It's like I needed to hear that today.
I always dealt with mental health issues in my life. When i was struggling most and on the brink of "giving up," i only stayed because i knew how it would affect people around me if i left. I always viewed this song as choosing to stay here on earth, knowing you can leave at any time.
Ah, let it get you! That's the point! Maybe on your own time tho. The dirge-like ending is one of the best outros of their entire catalogue. Its so....universal and calming and natural.
This album hits the feels every time and I've heard it so many times sence day one and never gets old. It hugs the soul.
I was literally just rewatching the other videos to pass time while baking. I am psyched to be here so early!
Haha That's awesome! đ€
@@Skullzrapper just got finished! SO GOOD!! Going on this journey with you and all these other fans in the comment section has been amazing and I can't wait until next week! Thanks for this trip!
And thank you! I'm grateful đ€â€ïžđ
This whole album means so much for so many Tool fans. The sheer beauty and approach of perfection of it kept many of us going for the last 20 years. After Lateralus Tool stopped trying to make the perfect album, because they already did. Instead, they focused on making the perfect track, which eventually they did with Pneuma.
Surely someone else wrote about this already, but the song takes many elements from the buddhist view of life. About how a cycle of death and reincarnation occurs, and how the body in which we find ourselves is only the current receptacle of the soul, which continues its journey from one body to another. However, the song invites you to enjoy the current experience in the body you inhabit today, and talks about how problems and suffering are part of the experience that makes you feel real, inviting you to live each moment as a holy gift to feel alive. Speaks of a familiar parable because according to the Buddhist view we have already gone through this cycle many times.
It's a really beautiful song, and it makes a lot of sense that such a hopeful message comes right after schism that tells us about the suffering that human relationships sometimes cause. After all, all this pain is an illusion.
Thank you very much for vibrating with the song in the same respectful way that many of us did
My favorite thing I always did was sit in my room listening to the whole album with the lights off, smoking weed
Hell yeah I love me some MANCHESTER ORCHESTRA! Next album journey after TOOL?! Yes Please!
Awesome reaction sir. Emotion is most welcomed!
Rinse & Repeat my last week's statement.....đđ
Metamorphosis engaged, their evolution is evolving... absolutely wonderful
YES!!! đ€
When something so good you just smile and laugh
It really doesn't get old. It's crazyđ
Errrrrrrrrrrbody was waiting for this one. đ„°đ„°đ„°đ„° I continue to be so thankful I get to hear this band through your eyes as you help me understand songs I've been listening to for decades in an entirely different way. Fuck yeah, dude.
So the amazing thing about you going through these song by song how they were on the album, you get a sense of the construction. Schism is intentionally discordant. Itâs hard to catch the beat. Then they pull you into Parabol as a kind of meditation and then they drop into that clean 4/4 on Parabola. Itâs like a palette cleanser to set you up for the next track. People lose that flow of an album today where itâs all just songs and not albums. Keep Spiraling
I didn't think of that but makes total sense why that 4/4 feels so damn good lol.
