This is really great and I appreciate your perspective

I'm adverse to kind talk and im unreluctantly artist :( . I subscribed, to live is to grow.

I don't believe there is a music video for it, but i'd love you to break down Twenty One Pilots's song Neon Gravestones. Its about how the media sensationalizes the suicide of celebrities and those in higher positions.

As a retired psychotherapist and long time Tool fan, I enjoyed your insights, and appreciated your appreciation. Rock on!

As a retired psychotherapist, who worked with abuse alot, and a long time Tool, I appreciate your insight, but moreso your passion for music and its power. Keep it up!

Your work is awesome. Please do TOOL STINKFIST.

I am brought to tears every time I watch this. Still, I watch it because it thrills me to no end that this AMAZING young man (I am 60 years old), so brilliantly and empathetically brings to light the horrors of generational trauma by putting us directly in the shoes of all those affected! I identify with Violent, however I survived and fought like hell to end the cycle with my children. Not to say there are no eternal scars, there most certainly are and will always be, BUT things can get better. I LOVE Ren for being the innovative and powerful voice that he is. He is a RARE gem and we his Renegades know it! Thank you for your compassionate, insightful reaction. ❤

Great analysis... Tool is my preferred band. I'm drummer. Thumbs UP 4 you. I liked the things you said.

It is dark but, check out Daddy by Korn

I always thought, that the burrito analogy is just him sharing his challenges, but isn't it even more profound? It's what you ask from your life for all of us and this his his experience down the wrong path. Most can relate to that.

My dad died during COVID. We couldn’t be in his room. This song wrecks me. I was supposed to drive him to a different hospital the next day. But he died at night.

Such a beautiful song, it really hurts each time. I will ask for Rumi by Serj Tankian from now on. 😊

The best appreciation that I’ve seen from my favorite band, one of my favorites songs because you literally described what I feel, see. Thank you, I will be pleased to know more of your vision on each new song, new subscriber! 😃

As a musical piece I love this song but 30 years after first hearing it it’s still just devastating.

Please do a video about "Daddy" by Korn. But, brace yourself because it's hard to get through for a lot of people.

First heard the Phoebe Bridger’s cover (I like it better), and listened to it quite a lot a couple summers ago when the skies had been red with wildfires for weeks. It’s quite a mood for these times. It has the same vibe as the movie Don’t Look Up - helplessness, isolation, and insistence on normalcy when things are clearly not normal and in much need of help.

Seems like this spoke to you too. Love it

I've always visualized this song like scrolling through the feed of any given social media app. Like each thing he says is a post he's absentmindedly scrolling past. Feeling numb to the horrors, AND numb to the silly/ridiculous stuff. From companies weighing in on world conflicts to national tragedies to female Colonel Sanders.

Good stuff, man. This is the song that made me an instant fan 32 years ago. My heart goes out to anyone who resonates with it. ❤

"Why do i know more about Screech than i do about Jenny?" Media, we always know more about the perpetrator than the victim.

Wow!! Have heard other songs from Blunt. But this hit home. My mother is in nursing home, physically. I do feel the loss of her already because of dementia or Alzheimer’s. I thank you for allowing me to understand what I am going through from a psychotherapist.

Tool IS amazing. I have to limit my listening due to heart issues :( Besides this song enlightening views on relations consider the timing on this entire album is based on the Fibonacci sequence. Mind blowing!

Michael Bolton

I always thought this is one the most beautifully profound and eerie songs I've ever heard. I loved it the first time I heard it, and I still love it. Great video, bro.

The song is a response to Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin saying Tool ripped them off.

Specifically, I think this song articulates the casual existential dread that accompanies living in late-stage capitalism as it teeters on the edge of full-blown oligarchy/authoritarianism. The underlying feeling of everything slipping past the point of no return, going insane, and feeling mostly powerless to stop (or even slow) it.

"These guys have launched themselves into the ocean." Yup. And the album is titled Undertow for exactly that reason. When I struggle with depression, Tool helps me feel seen and inspires me to keep fighting.

You should react to some BTS songs' lyric videos..For example, Zero o' clock, 2!3!, The Truth Untold, Magic Shop, N.O, We are bulletproof:Eternal...All of these are such beautiful songs that helped me through tough times and I would love your analysis on the lyrics!

this is my favorite system of a down song for active listening. i've been listening to it throughout different stages of my life and can always find new interpretations and emotions in it. but i really would love to hear from serj tankian himself, what it means to him. and as a another commenter mentioned, i would also recommend "mr. jack" by SoaD. I would be very interested to hear your interpretation.

There are so many layers to this one, it would be really hard to analyse it on the first watch. Just like how Bo completely ignores Socko and just immediately changes the subject without any real acknowledgement, other than to make it about himself, and reminds Socko that he's dependent on him and to just fall in line. Then even after he does, and apologises, he discards him anyway. Layers on layers

Goodbye in INSIDE is really good and has some really deep meanings that I think you would like by Bo

No auto tune. Live. 1 take.

His ability to showcase the guise of help and actual hindrance that inner critic brings to his own internal conflict. Love it

I tok care of my sick mom and raisd My little brother from an age of 10 an up until 2 years ago when she dead.. im now 30.. the mental struggle is extremaly real.. i had no help..

11:42 its the all the renagades having his back!😎

Ren just taook you to church.

If you are what you say you are..can you plz help me...

How strong does a man have to be to do what this man has just done.

I love this channel already.. just subscribed! A few thoughts: 1. To me, this may not just be about a relationship with another human. It's primarily about any kind of power that holds sway over our own agency as a human being, which obviously hinders the ability to propagate love, compassion, insight, and wisdom. Although often this DOES take the form of a human, or other humans. 2. To me, it's about embracing temporary chaos in order to end tyranny, on a personal level. And about the articulation of conflict either on an interpersonal or intrapersonal level. Or both. "I don't want to, but I must persuade you another way.." (and I'm scared) None of this is to be taken lightly. Order vs. Chaos is something I'm just beginning to understand. On a larger scale, this shit can easily turn dangerous. I'm over my head in this arena. I'm all for the protection of innocents and not producing any collateral damage in this process. 3. This all reminds me of how violent storms form and how they play out. As in how air masses interact, how supercells and mesocyclones/rotations form, and what feeds them.. air inflow vs. outflow. Outflow dominant storms produce a lot of rain and cold wind and hail, but die out quickly. Inflow dominant storms feel creepier, and tend to produce deadly tornadoes. 4. You just identified the precise moments that make me want to either run to the basement (if I'm smart) or stare at the deadly storm. 5. Maybe that's why I have always loved prog rock, since I was a kid. I'm a Rush fan as well. Thank you!

Just amazing. Only someone heartless and souless couldnt be touched by this song

idk if sigmond should be our friend-

I think you nailed it. Diving to the bottom of the ocean, where monsters lurk, with a powerful beam of light. That's pretty scary and intense stuff. NOBODY wants to go there, and I don't blame them. But maybe that's what it takes, to break the cycle and expose this kind of evil, which has been hidden, likely, since humans existed. It's sick, it's gross. There's no excuse for it. Shine a light on it so that it withers and dies. Even if it happens to be a father, brother, or uncle (or mother, aunt, or sister) who is the monster or monster's accomplice. Talk about taboo. Edit: This song also makes me feel intensely protective of innocence and innocent beings. I would go John Wick in a second, if I witnessed any abuse of an innocent, whether a child or animal. (I'm a GenX woman) btw.. subscribed, after only 10 mins of experience with this channel.

Excellent call with the Rush comparison.

the audience was cheering when he said "i'll just do my job" i feel like that was not what he needed then

16:55 and yet I still act like an overbearing asshole to my child? ! Why

How do you wake up and get through your day, every day, knowing in the back of your mind that there are people alive today who will experience the extinction of our species? This song asks that question, and acknowledges that there is no good answer.

Thank you for doing these…for me the Tool song H. Is like torture for me to understand…it’s an anthem of acceptance and fatherhood and would love for you to deep dive that next!

This song is about the next stage of human evolution. The pygmy tribe in africa have DNA with 44 chromosomes and 2 based pairs, we have 44-2 the next stage is 46-2. You are correct about the psychological aspect (obviously) although it is through the person in the song going though the physical metamorphosis.

Just want to offer some insight into a specific lyric. I feel its true meaning (at least meaning to me) might pass over some people's heads. "Obeying all the traffic laws in Grand Theft Auto 5" A few years ago, when my depression was probably at its worst, I distinctly remember staying up late playing GTA nearly every night because I couldn't get myself to fall asleep. It got to a point where even the most exciting GTA gameplay - shooting, flying, blowing things up - just didn't give me even the smallest amount of fun anymore. So then I resorted to just driving around at a safe speed, avoiding pedestrians, stopping at all the red lights. Anything to keep my mind busy enough to avoid being alone with my own thoughts. I had never heard of anyone else doing this until Bo sang about it, and when I heard it I immediately understood its meaning. It's incredible how deeply relatable everything in the special is, but that line specifically blew my mind when I heard it. Bo's biggest talent is tapping into the cultural emotional zeitgeist of the moment, and channeling it into art that speaks truth to everyone.

i met these guys in person in the late seventies before they went on stage here in brisbane australia as a 10 year old. 48 years later its still the most memorable night of my life, this was when bon scott was still the singer
