- Skullz reacts to H by Tool
and dissects the lyrics
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.

When you cry to a Tool song....that's when you truly grasp the power of the band. Its so easy to overlook, but man...once you start to really look inward with a lot of these songs, it'll just hit you with a ton of brick outta nowhere.
Facts 💯
In an early interview, tool said their name comes from the fact that they're a "tool for lacrymology", the act of crying to heal....so you don't know how correct you are
indeed i hold in my tears, always have my entire life, 35 years, and i haven't cried in 20 years, i cried to this song H, in the middle when the tone completely changes, the "without the skin here" part of the song, ive creaid many times to that, cant help it its overwhelming.
Absolutely!
You get it
This is what a real reaction looks like. Never say sorry for emotions. We listen to TOOL to feel emotion. Let it out. Music heals. I attempted suicide two years ago and Tool has been keeping me out of the ground. ✌️
Glad you're still with us my friend 🙏❤
@@Skullzrapper 🤝
Tool is definitely very deep! I'm glad that you are still on the right side of the lawn my friend!
Keep strong brother.
You’ve got a massive support system out here.
One love!
Tool is very very very deep, they always connect with where you stand in life. Maybe not everyone but I’m with ya paisan
Dude, you just exemplified why we listen to music. It reaches out to us emotionally and mentally, it affects our being and, hopefully, it helps us. I hope this song helped, even a little bit, to be therapeutic and cathartic. Tool's catalogue has a number of these, more as you go on.
Thanks my friend 🙏 It definitely helped 💯
Sorry if I stole "exemplified" from your post. It wasn't intentional! 😉
I gotta say.... You espouse the rhetoric of an aristocrat. I've had a lot of friends give me a hard time over the years about being verbose, so it caught my eye. For some of us, it's an affliction. Also, some of us got bored and read four dictionaries in high school. 😀 Also, I noticed you use proper grammar and punctuation. (Not common on social media platforms, unless you hold office, I swear.) Just wanted to give credit where credit is due.
Music is the ultimate mood manipulator without needing drugs.
Wings For Marie (both parts) gets me every. single. time. Almost impossible for me. I can empathize, having lost my mother to cancer. To watch it, to witness the lengthy painful torture of a beautiful, faithful person. Maynard's pain is palpable; as an artist he expresses it beautifully.
I think all Tool fans have had a moment or two where we’ve been emotional, connecting to a song in one way or another. I really enjoy your reactions! Thanks!
Ronald Vincent would be proud of all of us.
Thanks Ashley. Glad you enjoy them ❤🙏
Yes! push-it is emotional for me.
Absolutely. H., Invincible, Descending, Parabol/Parabola and often times Lateralus , Wings, Reflection and Aenima all bring me to tears! Freaking Tool GOAT 🐐
Listen to Live (salival) Pushit....shit bursts my brows every single time
Every Tool song is one's favourite...until they hear the next one. But this was the one that hooked you in hard. You're a lifer now.
Don't ever apologize for being real. We've all cried more than once while listening. Anyone who hasn't wasn't really listening.
For real. Appreciate you saying that bro 💯
@@Skullzrapper i think you'll relive this feeling in "10,000 days". 😉 But you will be in a better place and you'll be glad for it.
@@mstorrboy yes I agree… 10000 days will definitely evoke some emotions. I fking love TOOL … they do it best 🛠
Thank you for saying that!
I've lost count how many times this song has made me cry.
🙏❤
Dude the song is about Heroin H!!
Never ever apologize for an emotion when music or song touches you. Doesn't matter if it happiness and joy , inspiration, pain or anger This is what the true purposes is about. Keep yourself well. Keep your family well. The Tool family and I'd say the band itself are glad your taking something away , something deep , something to keep bringing you back. Glad your on this journey and TOOL has a magic , they find you when you need them Even people that don't get the band , then one day boom they really listen and dive into it Keep enjoying this experience like so many of us have.
🙏❤🙏❤
Well said!
Absolutely fucking superb! You get it.....and nailed it.....the placement of the songs is exact, the breathing being left in, the emotion they are drawing, it's super genius, it's purposeful....and whether you believe it or not...you're not even 100 miles in to 1,000,000 mile journey, THIS is the most cerebral band that has ever existed, so what do you do when parts of you die (or are killed) off? You start again, you evolve......you look for the next level, to be better.....to use your anger as a gift and when needed, to get in touch wit yourself, the damage done, your youthful anxieties......ALL of this is coming...."like a storm again".....And then you will move on to Lateralus....and I am afraid my friend that your head may explode, it's something special and I am glad to have subscribed to take the journey with you, at 55 years old...Tool Army forever
Happy to have you along for the journey my friend! I appreciate your words 🙏💯❤
@@Skullzrapper Note to self......chances are good this is Not the last time you're gonna cry, this album and in the future, there is big stuff coming
@@robertjones4361 But it's the best, most cathartic crying with goosebumps on your arms you'll have ever known!!
@@GimmeJimmy23 Without a doubt! Breathe in Union!
Nice to see another dedicated Tool fan in expression mode! How you enjoying the new album tour finally kicking off on their USA tour? You guys really need and deserve that, a healing, enlightening and fortifying experience which was timed to I would say perfection, unfortunately the lockdown thing got in the way. Was lucky enough to squeeze them in twice in New Zealand just before they shut it down, third and fourth time they ever played 7empest live I believe, absolutely incredible. And the set visuals and list has evolved since as it usually does and I guess it will until they settle on what they feel is the perfect progression.
Aww you're such a good person. Don't feel bad for being vulnerable with us. Out of anyone the Tool Army appreciates it.
I appreciate that my friend 💯
Thank you for this. It’s one of Tool’s most emotional songs. Maynard’s son’s middle name is H.
So is maynards... Maybard Herbert Keenan it was changed later on
@@TrapHick573No he was born Maynard James Keenan.
@@sunshinyday8648
No lol. Maynard was never his name. It was just a nickname and there’s a funny story that goes with it. He was born James Herbert Keenan.
"H." is my absolute favorite song in Tool's entire catalog. It envokes such a strong emotion in me too, even though I've heard it hundreds of times. Maynard is a brilliant songwriter. He lays his soul bare. His lyrics are poetry. And your analysis of each of Tool's songs is so insightful. I love your channel
My second favorite is "Reflection," from the Lateralus album. I can't wait for you to experience Lateralus!
Yeah he is. He reached in deep and pulled that out of me. Can't remember the last time I wasn't able to keep my shit together like that lol. But like I said to others, it was healing ❤ And not just the crying but the love I've recieved from you and everyone else in the comments. Thank you taking the journey with me and it really makes me happy that you enjoy the channel. I started it to connect with people so moments like this are a victory ❤🙏
I’m with you on this. No other music has taken me emotionally the way TooL does.
Oh I totally agree with your favourite song choices & thoughts about TOOL… I’ve told all my family and friends that I want “Reflections” to be played at my funeral. And I’m deadset about it (excuse the pun) 😂
If you got emotional now, pack the tear buckets for when you get to Wings For Marie 1 and 2. (Jimmy, Judith and Wings For Marie are the songs about Maynard's mother)
Orestes as well
H. is one of my many favourite TOOL songs… not many ppl react to it so thank you for your heartfelt reaction.
Im sure TOOL fans at some point have cried to more than one of their songs.
I have shed many tears myself listening to this powerful gem.
Thank you again 🙏🏻
It's one of my favorites too, this album is my favorite...it's so.....perfect. Whenever I introduced someone to Tool for the first time, I always play H first because I know it'll shatter their assumptions about Tool....and everyone loves the "I could have cried then" part
Tool’s music has a way of finding those moments when we NEED to hear them. I know you are in a tough place but I am glad you found H. when you needed it.
Me too my friend 💯 Appreciate your comment ❤🙏
A year late, but I can confirm this. Found this song on exactly the right night. Few months ago now, but the song instantly became my #1 song in general. And I don't even heavily listen to this genre and only casually had some Tool on before that moment. Like I'd heard them but never listened. Then I heard H
Dude don’t apologize for these emotions that surface….that’s the whole reason why we want people to experience this music…..at one point we felt what you felt by listening as well….I got choked up the same time you did🤷🏽♂️ we are human and we have to experience these emotions to release and grow.Great reaction brother!
I appreciate it ❤🙏 Happy we can all connect deeply to songs like this together 💯 Much love.
You nailed it this song is about having a child, More specifically Maynard’s son, The original name of the song was called half empty half full but was shortened to H, This song like most tool songs got me emotional as well that’s the power of music my friend, Great reaction 👍🌀
Thanks bro. Such a curve ball and a well earned one in context of the rest of their discography 💯
Devo H. Keenan
It has also been explained as Heaven/Hell, but yeah... the working name was Half Empty/Half Full. I see it as the essence of Humanity!
For sure!! I’ll never forget buying this album and playing it the first time. The first three songs made me feel something I’d never felt from music before! I honestly thought Danny Carrey might be possessed by some sort of demon, he’s just too unreal. The drum roll at the end right before Maynard screams “I am too” at the end of H gave me chills through my whole body!
Easily my favourite album ever!!
Having a child,really? That’s the beauty of song interpretations,is that your interpretation or did Maynard say that? Thank you 😊
So sorry to hear of your loss! I lost my mom recently as well. But..this is the reason why us long time Tool fans watch reaction vids...we love to watch others live that first time that we cannot reach again.
Btw...side note...keep tissues handy when you get to Wings for Marie and 10,000 days (to be played together)
My thoughts are with you and your fam.
I appreciate you saying that 💯 It's hard losing a parent. I lost my father years ago and he was my best friend. My thoughts are with you 🙏❤
Hey, 10,000 days and wings really touch me and my situation with my mom. You're not alone.
When my mom passed, one of my best friends, who also happens to be my boss, signed the card at work with some of the lyrics from 10000 days. Whenever I need a good cry, I listen to that song again, and get lost in the moment.
I’m very jealous of those who are hearing Tool for the first time. It’s an experience like no other and I wish I could relive 1992 again. Wait till you see them live 😌
"Turning my piss into wine." i always took as the creative process. turning his personal struggles into art.
And then he made actual wine.
@@droyal18able With his piss.
It hit me emotionally as a recovering addict as the song itself and forgoing metaphors are about Heroine addiction (I.e. “H”). You’re connection with the lyrics are also spot on to whatever you needed at that time. I’ve subscribed and liked this reaction, you’re the real deal …
Appreciate the support 💯
It's not about heroin addiction but it can be about whatever it means to you.
Yeah he totally wrote it about his son. He's even talked about it.
@@sunshinyday8648Yes but the Snake is the part of the song that's about him leaving his old way of life and having to man up and become something new to be there for him in the right way. This very well could have included a past heroin addiction for all we know.
beeing a Heroin addict feels deeply connected like the love to your wife or son. I always felt like betraying my wife and when my son was born I was already in recovery...never touched it again because I wanna suck in every moment unfiltered and every emotion as good as bad...but I am here to lead one of the most beautiful human beings to become an extraordinary young man. believe it or not...talking about H is a taboo in this time but this song is 100% a reference to the semi opioid Diamorphine aka H. and beeing addicted to it. when you get sober and after endless times of dying and suffering you see life very different and bury your ego. it's the darkest path you can take for sensitive person because it's consideratly killing you with love. your ego will die, you'll be reborn again and value what matters the most - it's all about the little things in life, your creation and learning from past mistakes ❤
So many tool songs have helped me at certain times of my life. I guess that's why I love them so much because of that emotional connection I have with them. Anyways...love your reaction as always it was on point! Much love to you, your wife & your family mate✌
We appreciate you saying that my friend 🙏❤
I enjoyed the song tonight what it's all heart
Frickin awesome reaction and review...i feel you nailed it with your interpretation of the meaning, you're a deep thinker, thanks for taking it to a personal level 🤘🔥
Appreciate you my friend ❤🙏
@@Skullzrapper thanks to you my dude, because of your reaction I'm now on another TOOL rip watching more of your videos 🤘😁
Lol That's fucking awesome bro! Much love 🤘
You just made a fan for life bro. Thank you so much for this video and for being vulnerable, honest and compassionate. Happy to see Tool impacting other musicians.
I appreciate you bro ❤🙏
Such an honest reaction… man, this is the difference between plain music that gets pumped out these days and true art. Bringing out emotions and relating to the message on a bunch of different levels is a special feeling & Tool is phenomenal at that
For real! Not many artists even attempt, let alone achieve, the highs this band has so far 💯 Appreciate your comment ❤🙏
Wow. I haven't heard someone on a reaction channel get it as fast as you. H. is about Maynard's son and the impact having him brought to his life. H. is now and always has been my favorite Tool song. I didn't fully understand it until I had a son of my own, now I know that the moment I learned he existed everything in my life changed. It became all about him and trying to protect him from the battles I had faced. This song makes me cry too, and that is okay. It means we are connected to those feelings instead of hiding them.
I've had the experience of seeing my brother go from lost to found by having his son. He was so scared during the pregnancy but once he was born, his son made him brave. Love at first sight. It's like his past was no longer a thing and he found clarity. It's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my life. The parental bond is stronger than any other ❤ Connection is everything.
Thank you for the comment 🙏
I couldn't say it better, and I won't try. Everyone tells you that having kids changes things. You hear it from everyone when you or your partner are expecting. But it never really feels real until it is. Nothing has ever made me want to be a better man like my children have.
As you read the 3rd verse, even before you choked up at all I felt a knot forming in my throat. Those lyrics are incredible and emotional
They really are. Music is incredibly powerful ❤
Fucking nailed it my friend! Exactly... heard this song 1000 times.. tears every time.. that's what this band from another planet does to you my man.
My man, I shed a couple of tears with you and I've heard this song ten thousand times. Truly great music invokes emotion. I've been watching a bunch of tool reactions (embarrassingly addicted to them) because I want to relive hearing them for the first time, and your channel is far and away the best I've seen. Excited to continue the journey with you! Just a warning for the future though, Wings for Marie is going to crush you. Luckily you have almost exactly 2 albums to get through before it though, as it is the 3rd and 4th song of the album after next haha
Much love bro 🙏❤ Appreciate you saying that 💯
Im sorry for the loss for you and your wife and the whole family and friends.
You completely changed the whole song for me. Now, I am crying remembering those feelings when I had my daughter. Those feelings were considerably the best thing that ever could have happened. Thank you for your astounding interpretation.
I appreciate you! Your daughter's lucky to have you ❤🙏
You absolutely get it. This is the song that means the most to me. I cry every time I hear it. It’ll be played at my funeral some day.
Welcome to the Tool Army, Skullz.
TooL is just a simply amazing band on every level imaginable. I started my TooL journey roughly 25 years ago, and I still struggle to define the experience. You could easily spend years trying to hypothesize on the meaning of the lyrics in one song, and to me that’s part of what makes TooL such a life long encounter. Enjoy the ride my friend, somehow it never gets old.
I too discovered them 25 years so. I was fortunate enough to see them multiple times, here in Australia, in the US. You are 100% correct that Tool is a lifelong encounter.
Maynard is a lyrical genius, but has also dealt with a lot. His music reflects that. If it impacts you that much, you get it. It just makes you human.
Great reaction!
Appreciate it 🙏❤
Listening to Tools discrography in a chronological order for the very first time is one hell of a project and I'm all for it! I've been listening Tool for a better part of 20 years now and it is so great to see people like you enjoying and immersing yourself to the music I've grown so fond of. I'm so glad that you are going through it in a chronological order instead of just taking suggestions on which song to listen to as it doesn't set any expectations on the songs you are listening to. Can't wait to see you hear more of what they have to offer & thank you for putting your experience for all of us to see!
I wept, seeing you weep. I've never watched you before but connected for a moment- human to human- through the universal mind and soul we can all tap into. Tool's music is a key to that gateway. Maynard said, in his "The Art of Work" series, that as an artist, he wants to give people "something that is more than the sum of its parts." He writes lyrics that are specific but also ambiguous enough for each person to find their own meaning in them. He said that depending where a person is in their life- they may be ready to"hear" the messages or they may not. It seems that this song helped you to process some of the grief from your family's recent loss. I think it's beautiful and wonderful that you had that door unlocked for you in a moment when many others- your viewers- could share it with you. That weight will only grow lighter as more people reach out and help to lift it through their well wishes and expressions of caring. Isn't it marvelous that such a thing can be made manifest by music and art and the shared love of them??? Blessed Be!
I agree. Like Eulogy for example. People say it's about L Ron and Jesus or this or that but those are just physical manifestation of the abstract nature of the song (the genesis). The genesis of Eulogy I think is false prophets and that manifests in so many ways 💯
But thank you for you kind words. This was definitely a hard video to record and edit and then I almost didn't release it. But, like I said to someone else in the comments, how can I tell people it's ok to be vulnerable and open if I don't leadf by example and so that thought made me commit to releasing it. I started this channel to connect with people and this video is doing that so its a victory to me.
Much love ❤
When I was a teenager I heard a bootleg concert where he was talking about H. He said "You know those cartoons where the character has a decision to make and he has an angel on one shoulder and a devil on the other? It's not usually angels and devils, it's usually a friend's, who are looking out for your best interest, but not really knowing what's best for you... it's up to you. This songs called H"
Caution.
The deeper you dive into Tool, the more tears will be shed.
And it will be beautiful.
And it will be painful.
And it will be worth it.
This song always reminds me of the post-ego death experience. After the Ego goes quiet, and you’re forced to come to terms with the Dogma you have constructed around your life. A subtle and painful reminder that there are consequences for the blessings in your life as well.
Blessings to you
Skullz - I don't know you, but damnit, I admire the hell out of you. I know this must have been difficult to listen to, especially in front of an audience, but your strength, vulnerability, and openness was beautiful and inspirational. I look forward to your reactions every week because you truly bring something special that isn't common on this platform. Thank you for being so courageous and sharing this moment with us!
Don't even know what to say to that man..... I appreciate you! For real. I posted yesterday that I didn't want to put this reaction up (I really didnt lol) but I thought how I could I tell people it's ok to be vulnerable and then not try to lead by example... and that's what made me commit to releasing it. It's connecting with people so far and that's what I want to do with this channel so I consider this victory 💯
For real though, I appreciate you. Your comments are the reason why I look forward to reading the comment section 🙏❤
Well said, full of heart, grace and massive Kindness. Thank you for that blissful message to our soulfull reactor. So genuine. :)
❤❤❤
Really enjoyed your reaction, I even started to cry along with you, seeing people getting emotional makes me emotional as well, and find that a good thing.
There's so much fake and plastic and non real reality on social media these days, this kind of content is what many people are looking for.
Tool is something special and Maynard is genius when it comes to lyricism. He is always able to touch deep into the soul.
Love you man, following you since day one.
Hope to see you back soon, take care of each other, and have a very nice day.
Grtz from Belgium.
@@petejung3122 I appreciate you saying that. It's not easy putting yourself out there like this but I know I appreciate the vulnerability in the reactions that I've seen. Much love my friend ❤🙏
No matter how many times I’ve listened to a song by tool, whenever I watch a reaction video especially when the viewer has never heard it I can relive those emotions vicariously through them. Especially if it’s the song vicarious.
It’s always a beautiful feeling
Not gonna lie though, that part where you chocked up on must have strung an emotional string. It’s all alright man, any tool fan will sit there and tell you a part in a song where it just rang true to what was going on in their life at the time and they just sat there full of emotions with a blown mind
This reaction is why I love TOOL. TOOL, is a tool for life.
That was a great great reaction!! I like being able to feel the music,,, being a human is nice sometimes lol take care
"Sometimes" 😂😂😂 Appreciate the comment 💯
Dude, that was a spectacular reaction! It took me years to dig out of that song what you did on the first listen. Hold onto that idea of "change" and "evolving" because it's about to go up a notch!
I used to be a huge fan of Tool, but then as years passed, I kind of grew out of it. One year ago, I lost my soul animal. I stopped listening to music altogether. Today I just decided to listen to this song again (it's one of my favorite Tool songs). It was an enjoyable yet shallow listen. Was recommended this video. I have to say, you've just helped me feel music like I haven't in years. I've been kind of numb & your react helped me get in touch with feelings I had long forgotten. You reminded me of how I used to feel listening to Tool when I wasn't so dead inside. Thanks to you, I'm going to try & listen to all of Tool & try to feel the songs again. Thank you for this beautifully vulnerable react.
I really enjoy your reactions. Im a huge Tool (Maynard) fan and I enjoy watching people discover this band. A lot of reaction channels jump on the Tool band wagon because they know the Tool Army fans will show up and increase their youtube numbers. Most reactors dont really listen or are not intelligent enough to "get it". You sir, get it, and its refreshing to listen to your reviews.
Really appreciate that 🙏 I always look for the deeper meaning in things beyond the details so that's an awesome compliment for me 💯
This 👍
Very few people get this much out of a first listen. I feel that H, Jimmy, and 46 & 2 are a kind of Jungian Trilogy about incorporating your shadow and taking inventory of generational trauma in order to fix himself...in order to not do damage to his son. It is TOTALLY in line with Aion era Carl Jung (which even the title of the album is based on) It also reminds me of a line from a poem by Robert Penn Warren "This is the process whereby pain of the past, in it's pastness, may be converted into the future tense of joy".
This was very heartfelt my brother. Great Reaction, and once again my prayers out to you man. Love you G, keep this quality shit coming !
Love you always brother! Talk to you soon ❤
🥲TOOL it’s music and Maynard’s lyrics have power and magic it’s gets in your soul it heals 💜you in so many ways every song holds movement & deep thoughts & feelings we hide… I loved your reacts💙👍🎶 new to your channel but I love it 🥰 TOOL4LIFE💜I’m sorry for your loss 🙏🏽
Can't remember the last time I so involuntarily got choked up like that. You're so right, it brought up something I was suppressing. Crazy. Much love and I'm glad to have you along for the journey 🙏❤
@@Skullzrapper yes I’m here for it 🔧🌀
Tool will do that for so many … every song a Masterpiece and every time a different thought or emotion will come out🤘🏽I have been listing to tool since 1995 seen them live and have cried many times 😢for so many reasons … the music and lyrics are very moving … A perfect circle &
Puscifer Amazing !!! 🤩 everything MJK touches turns to gold 💛 Music Is life 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶💜 vulnerability is good and there music will always bring it out 😊
I will enjoy the witnessing your journey ! Tool army 👩🏻
I've been listening to this song for 25 years and I never understood it this deeply. As a parent - crying along w/ ya 🥰😭 edit: ty for being real and vulnerable, just like the song says. sorry to you and your wife about her mother xoxo
I appreciate it. I don't have a kid myself but I've never seen a transformation like my brother when he had his son and I never had a connection as deep as with my father who passed away years ago. Songs about parental bonds are a touchy spot for me. Much love ❤🙏
You are not wrong about the album evolving, including next song which i literally about evolving (46&2). It is all about cleansing the old self, dealing with poison relationships (with different actors H [Dad and Son] , Jimmy[with his mom], Pushit[lover], HWAP[Haters]) flushing it all away (Aenima), and opening to a new experience (3rd eye) - which transitions into Laterlatus nicely
Nice breakdown I like how you connect the songs. Question was Stinkfist about a special weekend Maynard had?
@@Gideonite Ha, hangover after the undertow left him disgustipated. Needed to get unclogged.
Dude, stop with the spoilers, goddamn.
@@Gideonite nope, It's about to go step by step so far into an ugliness that you come out the other side with no judgment on anything.
I stop reading when I see spoilers on upcoming tracks so don't worry, I didn't see nothing 👀 lol
When you eventually get to it, Wings (parts one and two) on the 10,000 Days album, you must listen to these together when you react. They deserve to be listened to as one song. It's their most powerful piece by some margin. I can't wait to see more of your reactions :) I might also suggest a read of Genius Lyrics rundown of the tracks to understand even better what you are dealing with. Though I must say, your takeaways were on point in any case. Cheers again!
Agreed. Gotta hear both. Masterpiece
Never apologize cause TOOL will eventually hit a place where no other band can…. This is the magic of TOOL. Love love love this reaction to such an amazing song! Much love!⚡️🔥⚡️🔥⚡️🔥💚
This reaction and the reactions you've in general had with Tool have been great. I've grown up with this band and all thoughts and ideas revovling around them have been mixed with emotions of ones own - without knowing the real meaning behind the lyrics or the intent.
I've heard tears to these songs which are not based on my own experiences and feelings, but I've also later seen that honestly - everything I've felt has been linked through a subliminal or denied emotion.
It's sad to hear of your loss and the pain you've had to endure.
It's lovely to see the impact their life had on yours on how you honor them with your direct emotions.
Thank you for sharing
Much love my friend 🙏
Tool’s music does that to you, once you listen deeper into the meanings of their songs you draw something personal from them. I tear up almost every time I listen to Wings for Marie/ 10,000 days reminding me of my mother. Tool is like no other band you’ll ever listen to.
Get ready for Jimmy it’s another tougher one to get through…Cried just as hard along with you…felt great
Ha! Another one who got it. Bro, Tool makes you feel you.
And there's A SHITLOAD of greatness yet to come. 😊🙏
Hugs bro. Glad to share this journey with you.
🙏❤
Thank you for leaving your emotional reaction intact. So relatable and powerful! Friedreich Nietzsche said: "Without music, life would have been a mistake." You perfectly exemplified in this video how true that is. I could not have imagined such an on-point assessment of this song. All is going splendidly, and then the weight and the intent, the musicality and transcendence of this song punches you/me/us right in the proverbial teeth! Thank you for putting yourself out there and sharing something real!
I appreciate you saying that bro. For real 💯 Thats a great saying btw. I almost didn't post this but then I thought, "how can I tell people it's ok to be vulnerable and open and then not lead by example?"
Much love bro ❤🙏
@@Skullzrapper Leading by example is the only (effective) way to lead. 😀 Also, I'm certain you made the right choice. Thank you, again. Not only will I like and subscribe, but I'm going to tell people about your channel, for sure!
Thank you my friend. Means a lot to me ❤🙏
This was the perfect time for you to listen to and truly appreciate the song, so please don't apologize for either your emotions and vulnerability or for being impacted by your life. By sharing what you're going through, it makes it ok for us to share it and experience it too. I'm sorry for your loss, brother, and hopeful for your nephew.
Much love, bro.
Appreciate you bro. Really I do.
Much love 🙏❤
it's powerful to understand the connection between us all. thank you for sharing the moment.
Much love ❤🙏🤘
Well dang, your reaction to this really opened my eyes to the genius songwriting of this band. The lyrics are so deep and emotional, especially in the way they affected you, and probably countless other people. Sorry for your loss, btw. Stay strong, and thanks for your work on these video reactions. Much appreciated.
Means a lot to me my friend 🙏❤
Much love to you, your wife and the family. Even before you explained why you were getting emotional, I was feeling it too. There are a few other songs that always get me. I won't spoil it and tell you which one hits me the hardest. You'll know when you get there. Cheers mate! Great job as always.
We appreciate it my friend! Thank you for your comment 🙏❤
@@Skullzrapper ❤️
You GET IT, I love that about Tool fans! Their music touches you on all levels. I'm sure there is many a Tool fan who not only absolutely LOVES everything about them but has also been driven to tears being touched by their magic. That is some deep shit right there. Listen on, you will love the rest!
For real man. I'm reacting to their entire discography (LPs) in order from start to finish and I love seeing the evolution in MJKs perspective. Undertow was so nihilistic and Aenima has been so full of looking for meaning in the suffering. It's a beautiful thing to watch someone crawl out from underneath the weight of suffering. Anyways, appreciate the comment. Much love ❤🙏
This song kills me in the most beautiful way every time I listen to it. Tool makes me cry. One of the only bands that does.
thanks for doing this and being so vulnerable and honest. Tool typically unlocks an emotion within the listener sometimes it's out in the open and other times deep beneath the surface.
One of my fave tool tracks . listen to it a lot and it chokes me every time ...guess I've not lost my snake yet. Spiral out ...
We're all trying to put our baggage behind us bro ❤🙏
Beautiful. This song hits me also. It’s amazing to see and feel someone else have a similar connection to a song. I think that’s why so many people like these reaction channels that are authentic. The empathetic connection just helps remind us all that we are all living feeling beings. We all have that in common and it’s easy to forget that others feel the same things we do. We don’t need to be embarrassed about it. Love the video man.
Appreciate that brother! Connecting with others is the reason why I do this so hearing that is the biggest compliment I could get 💯🙏❤
As a father, the line "Considerately killing, me" gets me every time. That is truth. Your child kills your ego if you allow them to. It's not about you anymore, it's about your child.
Thank you so much for this.....Right there with you in emotion,,,, for the hundredth time......We all need reminders sometimes, and we all take everything for granted. And the cool thing about those who gravitate to this music is exemplified in the posted comments. Its the natural and organic thing to do to encourage you to dig deeper. Im sure you already have. Thanks so much for sharing so glad I saw it, its always inspiring to see true raw emotion and reaction.
This is the best Tool reaction I've ever seen
You have no idea how much it means to me to hear that 🙏❤ Much love.
Nailed it!!!!! The magic of Maynard’s music. Empathy ❤️
Great song! Wait till you hear every single album, all masterpieces
This is my favorite Tool song.
I've been listening to it for over 20 years, but I didn't grasp the meaning until about 10 years ago when my son was born.
You hit the nail directly on the head. Fantastic reaction, you're a beautiful soul, man. Subscribed because of this video.
I watch A LOT of musical reactions, man, and this is one of the best ones I've seen. I really needed this. This song encompasses what is going on in my life right now and it really is healing. Growth and acceptance is fucking hard, but I will go through this pain over and over again to be better for my son. Thank you for this and remember, this too shall pass.
I really appreciate you saying that. Your son is lucky to have you 🙏❤
The meaning behind the music is why we become so passionate and attached to it. Don't ever apologize for having an emotional experience while listening to music.
Appreciate that 🙏💯
One of my favorite Tool songs, and often underappreciated
Welcome to the "Tool Army" my friend.
honestly, thank you. This is exactly what happens when you get it. when life and music collide in an epic fashion. TOOL has always hit me, but the last several years after losing my father, it has hit me in ways unimaginable before. This band has a way, like none ive ever seen before, to reach into you and find something new all the time. My brother, I cried with you in this video. a good cry. a healing cry. Im glad to see you truly get the message. to feel and hear the message. You got my sub, my respect, my condolences for your recent loss. Welcome to the TOOL army. And don't know if you are a believer or not, but God bless you in these difficult times.
I appreciate your comment 💯 I lost my father years ago and we connected deeply through music. Planned on starting a mobile recording studio business just before he passed... Songs about parental bonds always destroy me emotional for that reason. I really appreciate the support and I'm happy I could help you heal. Much love ❤🙏
Maynard used to talk about a book about lachrymology - the art of crying to heal - when describing what their music is about. He probably made the book up but for good reason. Its what has always made tool special and unique in the music industry. Sometimes God lets a gem sneak into the mainstream.
Great reaction. H has had the same effect on me at times in the past and likely will again.
Dont worry though, 46@2 is not likely to make you cry haha
Crying's part of the process and at that point I was just trying to keep it together for my wife and her family. This song brought it out of me and yeah the next day, things felt a little less heavy. There's definitely something to that point. There's something healing about crying especially when you've had to stay strong for so long.
MJK definitely made it up.. But, many years later, some jagoff wrote a book and named it that.. then claimed he didn't know about Tool.
Yes and no, the lachrymological thing was a bit of satire. It was actually Danny's joke. Ron P. Vincent was an invented character - who mythically died in a snow-plow accident (he had a snow-job, an intensive effort at persuasion or deception)
@@dan.j.boydzkreationz I thought I completed a reply, but it didn't seem to take, so off I go again, lol... Thank you for the correction, it's been so long it's all blurry!! What I found a few years ago tho really pissed me off.. I just went back to confirm details, and it's all there still.. anyway a jagoff named Peter Barnes wrote a book named "The Joyful Guide to Lachrymology" and even tried to solicit donations to his "lachrymology church"!!! What kind of psycho does that?!
I memmer that.
Weeeee dooozy! You just nailed it Skullz. You were definitely being honest and it produced this amazing fruit! Thank you
No tool song hits me as emotionally as “H.” (Well maybe pushit)
I have been listening to tool since I was 14. I am now 38 and a recent father. I used to just rock out to this song and now it brings me to tears. Your reaction is so visceral and pretty much captures what happens to me every time I play it now… and yet I play it more than I used too. The best thing about tool is the songs all have a different meaning to you every time you hear them.
Never let anyone ever tell you what a Tool song actually is. The songs are constructed to meet you where you are and impact you through your own needs and interpretation.
H. Was one of the first songs i listened and it got me emotional as well, maybe we hide a lot of feelings inside of us and we keep them locked for a very long time. And that's the power of music...we can go back in one sec to one sound to a place in our memories. Love the reaction. Thanks.
Appreciate you 🙏
Probably not the last song from Tool that will bring a tear to your eye.
I really dig the way you're getting into the actual feel of tool... it's deeper than most... awesome .. feel the song...
Possibly my favorite song they've ever released. Thank you so much for your input brotha, you're different than the rest with your insight. You've got a new subscriber. Spiral our, keep going 😎🔥💙
Appreciate you bro 🙏❤
This is by far my favorite Tool song, it came to me at a time when I needed this most and perhaps when I wanted it least. But this is why Tool is so special, they help show us who we are. Thank you for being vulnerable with us, keep going down this path, we'll be here with you ❤
Couldn't have articulated that better. "It came to me at a time when I needed this most and perhaps when I wanted it least." Exactly how I felt here ❤🙏 Appreciate your comment
@@Skullzrapper BTW, even if you don't react to it. You absolutely should check out their ep Opiate. It's their first "album" but still one of my favorites. It's worth doing before you head on to Lateralus 😁
I definitely want to check it out. Just not sure where I'll fit it in on the journey yet 💯
Awesome reaction and break down, it's amazing to see music bring out peoples true emotions and feelings. I will admit tool has made me cry before.
Bro I'm so glad you didn't edit this out. THE most powerful emotionally reaction. Music man ....that's why I'm love tool. Nother band has had more impact or I've never seen a band had an impact as much, deeply. Much respect
Appreciate it 🙏
Maynard when questioned on the song's meaning: "So, eh, any of you ever watched those Warner Bros. cartoons? Sometimes there’s that one where that guy is having a tough time trying to make a decision. He’s got an angel on one shoulder, the devil on the other. Seems pretty obvious, right? Usually, the angel’s the one that’s kind of, give the good advice, the devil is trying to get him to do what’s going to be bad for him. It’s not always that simple though. Most times they’re like not really angels or devils, they’re just friends, giving you advice, looking out for your best interest, but not really understanding what’s going to be best for you. So, it kinda comes down to you, you have to make the decision yourself."
🤣🤣🤣 Much less poetically conveyed than the actual song but I respect it lol.
Each of Tool's albums are a reflection of Maynards journey toward enlightenment.
Tool has always been an emotional connection for me. This is why I have many favorite Tool songs. It's very mood dependent for me; always has been. Enjoy your Tool journey, they grow on you more with each listen.
Dude. Absolute True Reaction. Loved it. Everyone has a different journey, but we can visit each other for a moment. Thank you for sharing yours with us.
Great reaction. Don’t apologize for feeling something. It’s nice to know there are people that still feel.
This song hits me that way often.
I don’t mind. Peace and love to you and yours. ✌🏼
Much love bro! Appreciate you saying that 💯🙏
I’m balling…I love tool.. their voice, their absolute enlightened voice…. You Hit the nail on the head, the explanation ….of everything that you heard was perfect. (To me) Bravo my friend… and now forever , fellow TOOL fan💕👍🏻👽
Much love Kelly ❤🙏
Man I've listened to 'H' thousands of times but you just breathed new life into it with your breakdown. Amazing analysis dude. Gotta go back and watch your other Tool reactions and look forward to many more.
That's awesome to hear 💯 Glad I could do that for you🤘
You are not the only one. Tool does this to us constantly🤗❤️
There's a few songs that i get emotional over from tool. Jimmy is one Disposition/Reflection (my personal favorite tool experience) and of course Wings for Marie 1&2. Maynard is an amazing human to have 3 bands at the same time all successful and amazing.
Tool has countless songs that hits the core of your soul. 46 and 2 is in the top 3 along with Push it
That’s what I love about Tool it can bring out so much emotion. And much to relate too.
What I would give to hear these albums for the first time again.
Awesome breakdowns
Appreciate you bro 🙏
