      O.k. Polo, this is like another song by Tool, AEnema, Descending picks on, I think anyway, us, the people, and our misunderstanding of music, maybe we miss so much beauty in music because we as people don't pay enough attention to what else is out there,.. and then all of a sudden it takes a band that nobody expected, Tool, to try and convey that message through the type of music only an intellect would listen to.. ironic really, but that's just Tool.

      On point analysis there…Tool goes from one end of the meat grinder in tribal thrash beats to octave and note/rhythm changes that make grown men tear and tremble. The first shows I witnessed in the early 90’s were heavily that meat grinder (experienced from the center of a suffocating mosh pit) and by the late 90’s they’d near mastered every layer of complexity. Every decade since has only refined the entire process with each album pushing deeper limits of pleasure and pain. Hoping there’s still a couple more albums they can continue to squeeze out for our unworthy ear holes.

    The opening being "sleepy" and "hypnotic" is spot on. The song is about the collapse of civilization. The opening lyrics are about how we as a society have become unaware that we're descending, "heedless in our slumber". It starts to build with "stir us from/our wanton slumber/mitigate our ruin". and a then gets really big when he sings "Sound the dread alarm" with a massive call to arms to save ourselves.

    Descending is a super important song in my family. I flew my sons Mason and Cole from CA to VA in 2019 to see Tool for their first time. We were graced with a preview of Descending with the album not coming out until August. During the song Mason leaned over to me and said "we're watching gods perform!" Live it has a crazy ability to synchronize the crowd and connect everyone. Hard to explain but the energy is very high and it can be life changing.
    We lost Mason almost 2 years later (and almost 2 years ago to the day) and we play this song on his anny as a memorial because of how it hit him at that show. It changed his life.
    Super important song - almost perfect...

    This is my current favorite Tool song. There are other masterpieces in your future.
    This song, to me, is about how humanity has only been on earth for a short time, has screwed up, is about go extinct, and should fight to preserve life our place on this planet. The second half of the song is that battle playing out. In the end, humanity fails,.the earth shrugs us off, but eventually something once again comes ashore...

      Some of my favorites are.,..
      "Caligula would grin"...if you know your Roman history, , Caligula, a.k.a. little boots", taste ran toward the darker, more twisted, surly insane directions.
      "There's no love in fear"......It would take an unabridged dictionary to unpack that one completely.
      "Swing on the spiral of, your divinity and still be a human"..... WOW, .. Yeah .....At least a full encyclopedia Britannica set needed.
      " God damn, shit the bed"...... So universally understandable, so relatable, it transcends language.

    Thank you for making these videos. Watching someone really deep dive into their experience in discovering such an amazing band is really fantastic.
    If I can make a suggestion of where to go next I’d really recommend Wings for Marie. It’s a solemn, beautiful, raw display of his coping of his mother’s passing. His external platitudes and internal honesty. It’s genuinely deep and one of the most beautiful songs ever written.

I love how they single out each band member and give that artist such range of exploration is what makes them great, and it must be listen to on a very good sound system that have all of the levels needed the high tweeter down to the low, strong base and everything in between you have to listen to it loud

    When I heard Tool for the first time, it was 2003 ... two years after Lateralus came out but it was still the Album that introduced me to Tool. Oddly enough, back then I guess I wasn't mature enough (mind you, english is not my native language and I was just 16 and couldn't comprehend the lyrics). I somehow forgot about them and basically rediscovered them 7 years later in 2011. That time it was 10000 days and I became a true fan and have been ever since.
    I really love all their music today and the long waiting period for the new album was definitely worth it and "Descending" might just be my favorite track (but it's close as I love every song)
