Recognize this as a holy gift and
Celebrate this chance to be alive and breathing
As a chronic pain sufferer, I learned that living is part of the process and that eventually everything will pass and all the pain will be over. But for now, I am holding on to this life and trying to enjoy the good parts of it
Thank you. You're an inspiration to me.
Use the Tool to ease the pain
@@spackle9999 Thanks! I've never considered myself as an inspiration for anyone before 😅
@@loyaluwang4228 and to accept things that I simply cannot change
I'm in the same boat ❤
Each listening to TOOL is a journey. When the song ends, it feels like we were somewhere else.
@@Sab_MJsMama no doubt 🤘🤘
this is actually Parabol/Parabola. it's a song combo.
It was actually written and recorded as one song, however the record label wanted a higher track count on the album so tool just split it...right in two 😅
@@criscofist1437 just like intermission and Jimmy😊
Actually…the whole album was meant to be one song
@@Magniumopus if you rearrange the track list according to the fibonacci sequence, it becomes The Holy Gift and the flow is cool.
@@criscofist1437 lol
Parabol/parabola hits me in a way no other song, by anyone, ever has before...
People listening to Tool songs I have loved for years for the first time is my new favourite thing 😄
This song has single handedly dragged me out of depression
you opened your third eye
Sometimes it just takes someone taking life, crumbling it up, and explaining what it is. I joked to someone that this should be hold music for a suicide line.
This is actually both songs 'Parabol'/'Parabola' all in one video. Where it's starts to get heavy is the start of 'Parabola'.
This song always reminds me to be present in the here and now, and that life is a gift
I love watching your reactions to music. I especially love it when you react to Tool, my absolute favorite singer and lyricist.
I’ve been listening to Tool since 1996 and will never stop. This is one of my favorites. I love the message. I live with chronic pain and listening to Tool helps keep my mind right.
Maynard’s other bands: A Perfect Circle and Puscifer have some beautiful songs as well.
Oh, plus you are just so beautiful looking. 16:55
Yes to all of this. I'd recommend Puscifer for the harmonies. His relationship with Carina vocally is just perfect.
Tool Army🤘🏼
9:57
The man is clearly sad about his little friend's demise, but uses it as a learning experience of what life is about (what him cutting his friend's body, and the close-ups of the organs, is symbolizing).
The visuals are very strange, but are also very powerful. They, like the music, are designed to be up to interpretation by the viewer/listener- which I think is a way to get us to learn about ourselves.
Thank you for reacting to this song and not being off-put by the visuals like so many other reaction channels are.
My favorite band for 30 years, I really hope you get to see them live on tour 2024! It’s an indescribable experience
Tool always makes me think deeper about life after I listen as well! Love the reaction! 🙏🏽✨💜🍄🧠🫀
Always glad to see Tool on the channel
Nice reaction. 😊 This is actually a two part composition: Parabol/Parabula. The first 3 meditative minutes are Parabol, with the remaining 6 minutes being Parabola.
Oh yeah, the first part is the perfect introduction to meditation - a special, but great song. And thank you Ken, for all your fantastic reaction videos👍
I remember tearing up on; "........ a chance to be........ alive and breathing......." , the first time I heard this.
“ The raspberry is coming for you, buddy.” The genuine confusion yet in ruptured way you said that, gave me a good laugh. I’d almost forgot about this music video. I’ve listened to this song so much without visuals. Though I do appreciate Alex Gray’s circle of eyes.
I was a late bloomer to Tool even though they were most popular when I was in college back around 94. Around 20 years later I heard this song and loved it. For me it was the drums, since I'm a drummer that can tend to happen. This is still one of my favorite songs by them even after going down the Tool rabbit hole. The 2nd song I fell in love with was Ticks and Leeches. Still love that one though it doesn't seem to be one of their most popular. Bye the way love your channel. Been subscribed for a while, one of my favorites.
"I hope this is what you wanted! Because this is what you're getting!"
Happy your reviewing this beautiful song from the mighty Tool. It’s actually Parabol/Parabola and they are listened to together. Love the song and the video directed by the amazing and incredibly talented Adam Jones. Hope you get to hear it live ‘cause its so EPIC 👏👏👏
Tool is a journey
Tool = sonic and lyrical wizardry!!!
Having a chronic digestive illness. This song holds particular significance in trying to deal with unbearable pain and cramping. Trying to mentally detach yourself from that is an important part of trying to deal with it.
Yes!!! More tool!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
This song is speaking of the law of one… in order to create everything everywhere and everyone… the one known as I am exploded itself into infinite parts… in order to experience everything possible… that’s right a part of GOD ALMIGHTY lives inside of us … through harnessing our energy through our chakras from the base of our spine all the way to our crown chakra through meditation you can tap in and remember not only who you are but what … we are immortal spirits having a human experience 🙏❤️🙏
We are all eternal.
I love that you get TOOL ❤
Tool are special
Para-boe-la. 😁🤘❤️🎼
I've discovered Tool very recently (less than 3 years), and I was hopening such a reaction : emotional, delicate and sharp. That's why I come here, and for your experience and professionnal touch. What matters yet ? Deep breath, and some minutes of calm and relaxation, total empathy ^^
I just wanna say your voice is perfect for commenting on this. Very soothing and matches the mood of the song as well. Thank you for reviewing this!
At 12:10 you can see the exact map of the energy meridians of the body. Those vertical lines on the body are the same ones I learned in massage therapy school, the level of depth and detail from these guys is just unreal.
The Chakras! Eventually the guy in the video is having a Kundalini awakening, the energy in the lowest chakra (Musaldhara iirc) is in the form of a coiled up snake, which uncoils itself, along the energy channels (nadis) activating every chakra on its way up, where it merges with Shiva in Sahasrar (the topmost chakra), and you become one with the universe. Alex Grey did the final part of this video. Truly amazing.
Chills, every time I listen to this!!! 😁🤘❤️🎼
That reaction is al I was hoping for from you! Tool is amazing and it hit you out of nowhere and you wake up in a different place! Love the reaction!
I've adored watching you get more familiar with Tool. This song is so meditative and awakening.
this song/vid of tool made my acid trip a cure for my ongoing depression i am at peace ever since
My wife has multiple Sclerosis (auto immune disease/chronic pain) I always wonder why her. This song helps. As well as their song Invincible. It really makes me think of her struggle but she keeps going cause she's amazing. Thanks tool for the songs . And thank you for the work you do on your channel. Really fun.
I always find something new in a react.
Parabol is mantre. I sing it. It brings peace. It centers and grounds me. I love it.
I always appreciate your reactions to music videos. Especially Tool! Maynard's voice still amazes me too. Thank you from one of the many in the Tool Army! 🤘
Awesome video! Thanks!
Great reaction, Ken!
Ken, I followed an Aurora trail over to your channel, and saw you also were reacting to TOOL - one of my all-time favorites. BTW, you're adorable when your mind is being blown into the stratosphere by music. How lovely.
Another brilliant track for MJK's vocals: Potions by Puscifer. Not uplifting like this song, but certainly human.
Subscribing now.
#toolarmy
I love when you review TOOL. Thank you! This music helped me transcend in many ways. :)
Ken I love how keen your ear is!!!
Love those TOOL guys. Love your genuine reaction. You embraced the moment. 🤘🏾🖤🖖🏿
i love this video, esp the first half, so much. i love morbit confusinf asf art like that
My ex introduced me to Tool, so every time I hear it, I'm flooded with bittersweet memories (we are still on talking terms, but our long-distance relationship as is wasn't going anywhere - we are better off as friends). The memories itself aren't anything special or outstanding, most of them are just listening to music together through a call. Surprisingly, this song brings back a sense of "roundness", a sense of everything in life is where it should be - as they were with him and as they are now years later. The universe will always balance itself out. We just have to ride the tide.
I and a friend shared a deep love for Tool-- though friend is understating it, as as we lived together for years, so more like brother with all the ups and downs and shared flaws that that brings. He was a metal drummer, I was a vocalist, so we both had great admiration for the talent in Tool from our own directions.
He took his life a few years back, and many of the things we shared got too bittersweet in the aftermath of me having them to myself. While Tool brings up those memories, it also brings enough introspective peace to be a comfortable way to remember.
Spiral out, friend. 💚
Ive really enjoyed discovering your channel, due to tool reactions. I appreciate you discovering them - if only I could hear them for the first time again.. if only..
You learn something new every time you listen to Tool, and this is one if their best songs. We are eternal all this pain is an illusion.
Mad As a Hatter by Larkin Poe live at The Covenant House is mind blowing. She's wailin' like an angel after the solo. Bluesy slide guitar. And it's Edgar Allan Poe's great great great great grandkids!!! Are they awesome? Quote the Raven, FOREVERMORE!!!! SKWAAALLK!!!?
I’ve always enjoyed you Tool reactions Ken! When I finally fell down the Tool Rabbit Hole, I vividly remember your 2 reactions to Lateralus and Danny Carey - Puemna - and how much I learned from you. I’ve been spirally out now for about 1 1/2 yrs! 🤘🏼
Love your reviews, and Tool is my favorite band, Parabol/Parabola my favorite song, favorite lyrics. Deepest thoughts in rock and roll. Cheers
I always love your tool reactions! I love that the gravity never escapes you. I can’t wait for you to delve into sleep token. Those who appreciate tools artistry and depth of lyrics tends to also enjoy them. I highly recommend “blood sport” the room below performance by sleep token.
When I am jazzed about life I love to sing the part 🎶 ALIIIIIVE 🎶 and really belt it out loud and long.
this is a great one
Love you fam, nicely said it looks like this song hit home some what
Don't forget, we're here for your thoughts & to hear you talk, love the reaction!
this song was the reason I was able to explain what a Parabola was in my 7th grade math class
Very true, trapped by pain. Haven't heard that out loud in a while.
Listening to this song is one thing, but watching the video is a different experience all together. I wish I could watch this for the first time again, been listening since the album dropped and never gets old.
Thx, spiral out...keep going 🌀
I always enjoy Tool, especially if someone is getting them as a new experience
I love your musical journey! Want to go on it with you....subed.
I say It every time I watch your videos, Try Primus! FRIZZLE FRY is a person favorite but Tommy the Car is by far the most popular.
This song is so complex and having so much to enjoy, I always felt the music video to be overstimulating and a bit distracting!
I prefer to only listen and enjoy the intricacies!!
"Woah. Yeah." is the *only* acceptable thing to say immediately following watching/listening to this song for the first time. 😂
If you don't know, Adam Jones the guitarist makes those animations. That was his job before T00L, in Hollyweird
Love the outro riff
Hi Ken. Please let's forget everything else and answer me, or not... But right on the first minutes I felt the urgent need to ask YOU, Ken, are YOU ok? I felt you so much downer comparing to other vids I've seen of yours.. I can't tell exactly what but I feel you aren't ok.. And it bothers me, if so.. Hopefully is just my impression. Hugs my guy. You're awesome and beautiful.
Hopefully he was just getting in a serious mood knowing that tool is on the docket today... But sending good love and JuJu to Ken just in case.
🌀🌀🌀👁🤘🏼
That’s Tricky from Massive Attack starring in this video.
To show how old this is, that Alex Grey animation was my myspace wallpaper.
I always felt that the intro to this song had a monastic feel to it, somber and introspective and meditative. Then they blow the bloody doors off it!
It’s like an acid trip. You bought the ticket, now ya gotta take the ride.
The video is actually two songs that appear in order on the album. The first subdued "act" of the video is Parabol, when the distortion and louder music kicks in is the actual start of Parabola
I love the “jfc wtf… how is this… just what?! Mmmmm” vibes during the listening sections.
It’s written across your face clear as day.
I found you through the work of the great #DerekBrooks. I stopped by to watch your Tool reaction. I subscribed because I know you're going to do lots more Tool. See you there, young man.
I reccomend reacting to the songs alone at first then react to the video since it distracts a lot
😍 Actually is Parabol and Parabola, it´s a Master piece, i recommend Vicarious!, you´ll love it 🥳
The men in suits are squaring the circle. The table is a square, they move in a circle. The man notices the little guy is the same as him and when he realizes the leaf is also similar to him. He gets hit with an ego death.
that pause at ~ 7:45 😭
I love Tool react vids but the pain is real sometimes.
The full song length is about 9 minutes because it's Parabol/Parabola, but the first minute or so of the music video is added for the video
this isnt just parabola - its parabol + parabola. the two songs are meant to be played one after another.
Got to commend you not stopping every few seconds. This is indeed an experience. Curious if you've done Wings/10,000 Days?
Parabol is mantre. I sing it. It brings peace. It centers and grounds me. I love it.
You should do Sweat next. If you're not ready to Sweat, put the Tool back in it's case, son. You can get the Tool out when you're ready to DO WORK!!! Each song deals with a different part/aspect of life. Once you have their discography, you have a complete guide thru life, or so it would seem. Each Tool song is a different tool we need at different times in life. Each is equally beautiful in it's own unique way. But you'd better be ready to Sweat. If you already heard it, DO IT AGAIN!!!
Parabol is awesome. i used to sing it over and over while walking 3 miles to town at 2 am.
Ken Lavigne
You paused it right at the money shot ..aliiiiiiiiiive!!
For me, Tool is one of the best bands of the moment. Their pieces of music are extremely complex, very different but still immediately recognizable as a Tool song. Danny Carey is on drums in his own universe.
🌀🌀🌀🌀
i think you should definitely check out The Night Flight Orchestra! Incredibly groovy music that i don't think is as well known as it should be. Either White Jeans or Chardonnay Nights would be cool
Thank you for this inspiring reaction. Please do one on Enki - Divine Nature Awoken by Melechesh.
My fav melechesh track! So good! Well that or the palm the eye and lapis lazuli
@@flataffect Spot on! Yeah they have a number of criminally underrated tracks.
@@farouq1983 what else would you recommend I haven’t listened to much by them other than that album
@@flataffect Epigenesis, Ladders to Sumeria, When Halos of Candles Collide, The Magickan and the Drones, and Mystics of the Pillar.
Tool almost perfectly describe with this song what my DMT experience was like. It makes you realize a few things. We, our bodies, are just cells working together to project consiousnes. This consiousness does not come from your ego, nor does it come from any cell by itself. Each cell is then again made out of molecular machines, creating the projection of a cell. And those machines are made of atoms, that project the machines. Atoms are also not real: they are projections of vibrations.
Advaita vedanta teaches us (as far as I understand) that there is only one consciousness. The background consciousness. That is looking thru our eyes. Which is also almost exactly what the nordic shaman religion (with Odin and Thor) teaches us. We are Odins eyes.
We are born a leaf. We look around: see other leaves. We think we are the leaf. We are however, in fact: the tree. Yggdrasil.
Background consciousness can be compared to a lake. When we are born: a cup of liquid from that lake is scooped, and frozen. We then live our lives as icecubes, thinking we are the icecubes. Then we die, and merge back with the lake. To be part of everything born after that. We are not the icecubes: we are the lake.
Need more Maynard. Puscifer and A Perfect Circle please.
You told right:
Excellent reaction Benedict Cumberbatch
i don't know why this song pass under the radar so much, specially the video
7:42 shaking off the visuals, trying to detangle the images from the music-throughout the whole song, really- is fun to watch you try to wade through😂
Tool has a unique way to magnificiently disturb people. It is created to interfere and question your usual routine. The band has been my favourite over 20 years.
11:21 ---this body holding me reminds me of my own mortality. Embrace this moment, remember. We are eternal, all this pain is an illusion.
I have this phrase tattooed on me because it affected me so deeply.
