    To add to this, Tool also pioneered how modern rock concerts look. Does anyone notice how every major touring band these days has a massive screen behind them and its more and more common for the musicians to be backlit instead of in the spotlight? Tool wasn't the first to do this, but their touring technicians developed a lot of the tech needed to achieve this on a massive scale and they influenced other bands of the same genre to do the same.

      Listening to Vicarious and hearing the riff during the chorus moved me so much when getting into tool a couple years ago that it inspired me to get a guitar at the start of the pandemic. A couple months in I was practicing Forty Six & 2 and the post-instrumental breakdown verse where adam does the riff but with the wah on I was playing along and entered that Flow State you are talking about, it was the first time I could hear myself playing almost exactly in line with the song, it moved me so much and I've never had such a large amount of liquid pouring out of my eyes without sobbing at all, I was just playing with my eyes almost closed and tears streaming down my face as I realized I was doing something I only dreamt about being able to do for years. Adam is by far my biggest inspiration. Not nearly the most technical but the way he uses the instrument to draw textures in the music just blows my mind and keeps me coming back like you said. Sorry for the long story just really connnected with what you said and wanted to share. Definitely was practicing guitar and lachrymology that day ;)

    The squaring of the circle is as far as I understand it, an ancient mathematical or better geometrical problem. The goal is to construct a square with the same area as a given circle in a finite amount of time. Mathematicians try to solve this problem since than and always failed. You can also prove this mathematically, because pi is an irrational number. I have always understood the line in the song Schism, as an undertaking that can never be accomplished, but is worth trying and that beauty lies in the imperfect and incomplete.
    "The poetry that comes from the squaring off between,
    And the circling is worth it.
    Finding beauty in the dissonance."

    The clip with “ I want waffles’” is from 2006 concert at Pinkpop Landgraaf Netherlands. I actually stood next to the guy taping the whole concert part and I can hear my friend and myself talking in the background. We even helped the guy when it was getting crowded by keeping the area clear.
    I found out when the bootleg circulated for the first time, that it had to come from that guy.
    Why waffles? Bedause at Pinkpop there were a lot of foodstables where they sold waffles… you could even smelt them.
    Right after this part from Maynard they started Jambi.. Maynard even changed the lyrics a bit:
    ‘… on waffles and flesh never few…”.
    Hilarious at the time…

    Anima is actually more than you give it credit for. Whilst it is “stuff guys try to avoid” it’s actually a lot deeper. The idea comes from psychologist Carl Jung (who inspired the idea behind 46&2) the idea of the anima is the feminine side of the male psyche which is often repressed deep into the subconscious. The inverse also applies with women and a masculine side of their psyche which he referred to as the animus.

    • @ABlackRainbow
      @ABlackRainbow 2 года назад +6

      This. I think he confused it with 'the shadow' considering his description, another Jungian concept that is explored thoroughly on the album. It is more the things you try to avoid in your personality, while the Anima is the feminine side of a male personality.

    There is a bittersweet feeling from TOOL; being 16 the first time I heard of them, during the debut of the Sober video. With a powerful, rich and psychoactive expression. Over time they moved away from videos, without adequately transitioning that focus into another medium. It makes me feel as if something were lost along the way. I still have a deep love & appreciation for their music and how it has changed me. I guess even this is a part of the journey

      No probs. It's interesting to see how so many famous musicians are interested in the esoteric themes though.

    They're talking about the universe being infinite, and it being consciousness experiencing it self. They're talking about the dark energy inside of them that's getting in the way, Danny Carey is talking about being present and being above the limitations of your mind. In schism when Maynard is singing about better communication, he's talking about connecting with others on an energetic level and listening instead of letting your ego take over and ruin the conversation by bullshit, judgement, dogma, strict rules. They're talking about going against control, and when Adam Jones is mentioning opening you're third eye, he's talking about enlightenment. This is as you refer or as Carl Jung refers to as being completely whole between mind and spirit. This also has to do with feeling into your body, because the universe is in your body, this sounds like fantasy, but it's not. When you're in high energetic states, or highly present, everyone's pain becomes your pain. You feel someone's pain as you walk by them, because the ego seperates, but the universe brings us together in mind body and spirit. He's talking not about just becoming whole with your self, but becoming whole with everyone, because the ego seperates and divides, the universe unifies, and the ego is an illusion. We've just been taught by people in society that we're so seperate from someone else by coming up with labels, and criticisms and excuses to judge, when if we're not really seperate, we're just judging our selves. We've been taught that we're seperate, but if you've really felt the spirit, you realize we're not. Tool even says on the same album lateralus in the song Reflection. The lyrics follow "So crucify the ego, before it's far too late, to leave behind this place, so negative and blind and cynical. And you will come to find, that we are all one mind. Capable of all that's imagined and all conceivable." In a simpler way in the way I read it, they're talking about the mind serving the heart, and not the heart serving the mind. I.e letting the energy flow by being in a state of presence, and not constricting it by letting the ego constrict by useless conversation. They're saying to align with nature, accepting the beauty of reality as it is, and not controlling it. This is what System of a down is also talking about in their song Science. "Spirit moves through all things." Energy, presence, the flow, the infinite nature of the universe that is way beyond the small insignificant nature of the ego. They're talking about being awareness, and being a witness to life and watching, instead of trying to ruin a film and corrupt the scenes that are already playing out. Basically, the vibe is everything, energy comes first before thoughts, and controlling life leads to more misery because life is a powerful force beyond control. I hope that makes sense, if you've experienced anything of this sort, if not, practice stillness, and letting go of all control, and practice being a witness. Watch what happens, let go of expectations and see what happens. Their is a great book by this spiritual speaker named Osho, called Meditation, the first and last freedom that I recommend checking out.

    Notice how concepts of the shadow are only explored in albums dealing with struggle or identity. For instance the shadow is never mention (if I'm not mistaken) in albums such as Lateralus, 10 thousand, or Fear Inoculum. The character or journey conveyed through their albums has either already reached an understanding or is currently undergoing the growing process, which is a state where the shadow loses its ruling over the ego, leaving the ego to fully explore and self heal. I see Undertow and Aenima as the difficult process of realization and experimentation with various methods to undergo change.

    Squares are drawn with straight lines and represent the male or masculine. Circles are curved lines which represent the female or feminine. Schism is literally a divide or crack between two things. The "squaring of the circle" is an occult alchemist term which symbolizes the merging of spirit and matter, or the coming together of two opposites, i.e., male and female, to create something new and harmonious. This is what I think the song Schism is about. How the duality in the nature of humanity seems to be escalating and dividing itself further away from a sense of connection and oneness, and that we are heading down a path of destruction unless we establish better lines of communication and resolution between these opposing aspects in the hopes of truly evolving towards a better world as a species.
    Just my take on it.

    I disagree with the complexity of the tempo in tool music, the intervals and sections are so deep and complex and mixed with the other instruments and vocals in a way that is precisely crafted, there is nothing random but also there is nothing unnecesarily complex, they use their music as a way to transmit emotions, which when u compare to animals as leaders for example or other new technical metal bands, i don’t get that deep connection, as I think is not just make something complex and elaborated but Tool really digs deep into the soul and beyond like no other band has been able to even dream about.

    I know exactly what you're talking about when you mentioned the "flow state". Occasionally when I'm playing guitar, I'll get that myself. It only happens to me when I'm really focused on learning something I haven't learned before. If I sit, for maybe a hour or two, and work on something that's challenging enough to make me ignore everything else around me and just really focus, it'll get into this certain headspace where my focus, coordination and creativity are all just dialed in perfectly to where I feel like I can play ANYTHING. I love getting into that "flow state" but it's not easy to do...

    • @LieLikesMusic
      @LieLikesMusic  2 года назад +1

      That’s exactly right. It’s very hard to get into flow. But there are some great books on the subject if you want to learn more and increase the chance of creating flow more often. The Art of The Impossible by Steven Kotler is great. Talks about all the recent neuroscience related to flow. And then there’s The Little Book of Talent by Daniel Coyle. It gives you 52 proven tips on how to practice perfectly. Many of which can induce flow 📚 Best of luck!

Could do some vids on this topic as well? Thank you for your work helping us understand music more deeply.

My girlfriend loves them, and for almost three years I tried to like their music, but I found it boring. Then, sharing a psychedelic experience with her, we listened to Parabol/Parabola, and It was so beautiful. I'm not a fan (I'm a Volta fan since 2005) but definitively I'm rediscovering Tool with a new vision

    Analyzing Tool lyrics is a personal road, man. I see the lyrics in Schism as someone who was in a relationship that is over, that is doomed, but they look at it like a good learning experience nonetheless. The line about square and the circle mean that the fighting in the relationship was inevitable but he learned from it. Because you can never square a circle. It's a mathematical impossibility. No matter how hard you try. Yet each person tries anyways because they love each other, but that isn't enough to get past their differences.

The 13th step is also what people in the program call hooking up with another person in the program. I'd have to go listen to the commentary again to get the exact quotes
