This song gave me the courage to leave a domestic abusive relationship. He played this while in the shower. I was vibing while cleaning and just hit my knees. Silently singing.. professing and claiming while crying my eyes out!! That's when i decided to try again.. A few days later, I chose to live and escaped
This song actually made me cry regardless if i am 21 years old... It had helped me with those days of being depressed... Also Disposition from Tool has the same effect but with you being out of place....
I know the feeling. You might also really appreciate the song Emotion Sickness by silverchair. ruclips.net/video/Dq4I66C5gT4/видео.htmlsi=kyarnI9qBS7V-BKx
When I heard this song live, I was soooo surprised that he hit that high note. man its so good. words can't explain how it made me feel when I heard this song live.
Even without Maynard this song is so gorgeous, I love the bass and guitars. Throw in Maynard's lyrics and exquisite vocals and this song is absolute perfection. Maynard's words have gotten me through some really tough times and have helped keep me alive. Remember, we are eternal, all this pain is an illusion, you will come to find, that we are all one mind capable of all that's imagined and all conceivable. I choose to live.
The show in Toronto was on Wednesday, and unfortunately we weren't able to go. My friend's grandmother was moved to palliative care that morning & wasn't expected to last the day, and she was my ride. I did manage to sell my tickets though, to a very excited University student who hadn't seen them live yet, so I made someone's day awesome & that's good enough for me. I've been fortunate to have seen Maynard in all his various forms, including the book tour, 5 times in the last 6 years, & I was in Arizona/Jerome in 2013 & drank his wine, so I couldn't be be too disappointed. Everything for a reason. And there's always the next Tool tour when the new album comes out :D I'm glad you had a great time. Maynard truly is a gift. Did they do Gravity? I'm waiting for someone to post one of the shows here on RUclips.
@@game_4_growth How did this song specifically save your life? Only if not too personal of a question... This sing specifically? I never thought of this as a memorable APC song, in comparison... (Unless someone has never heard Maynard's voice)
I remember when I saw this song live quite a few years ago knowing that one day it'd mean much more to me than it did at that point and as time passed it did.
In case not off you have been to a concert before they always change it up a bit every time, some times adda few extra lines or make it different some how. Other wise they might as well put the cd in and press play and stand there come on.... That isn't off pitch its just different
Vanishing has the same effect, I love APC. has anyone else heard theyre all willing to work with each other again? Supposedly APC has a contract for one more CD, tho they dont have deadline to meet so it could take around 3 years to come out considering the members are all extremely busy as of lately.
President Franklin Roosevelt: Nov. 21, 1933 “The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the larger centers has owned the government since the days of Andrew Jackson.”
You're aware that the lyrics you put are from two different songs right? The first like "not to pull you halo down, around your neck and choke you out" (on a side note I don't think those are actually the lyrics) are from the song The Noose and then the I choose to live lyrics is actually from this song Gravity.
Yeah sorry to all the haters, but the truth is that Maynard doesn't do this song justice live. He barely stays in keys and sings flat. I love seeing Maynard perform, but I don't remember Gravity sounding this bad when he did it in Louisville Ky in 2003.
I think the real test is if a person who is unfamiliar with maynard would listen to this and think he had a nice voice. If you listen just for a few minutes it seems boring. Maynard's voice is an acquired taste. Although I think it's an easily acquired taste if you take a little time
funny how some songs on Thirteenth Step (gravity and blue) sounds way better on the record....all that guitar layering and effects make such a different!
I agree, its a pretty decent performance of a damn a good song. but this isn't perfect on Maynard's behalf, he hits a fair few off notes and at points its kind of painful i.e. 4:08 and 4:12. By all means I'm not saying I could do any better I think he's a fantastic vocalist and is normally spot on with pitch.. just a couple of slip-ups here and overall not his best performance.
Great song.

I think this song would definitely help too. Was only 18/19 when he wrote it. ruclips.net/video/Dq4I66C5gT4/видео.htmlsi=dyHCL9iDw0KfBrPk
My respects to Maynard, such a phenomenal artist.
Soul G right
One of the best songs by apc imo
It’s their best for me
It’s not there best but this live version definitely sets the bar high.. ❤️
DutchMastah07 I agree. Unquestionably their best song for me as well.
Let me rephrase that if this is your favorite apc song that’s great because this song is phenomenal
Mine too 🖤

This is defintly one of my favorites on 13th step !
How do they write these songs like HOW can people be THIS talented 😭😭😭
I come back to this song when I need to be talked off the ledge. It always brings a tear. 🖤
I am surrendering to gravity and the unknown....
32 more sleeps till I see them again.....this song saved my life & I will be forever thankful.
khanehdiangurl did u go yet?? Says one month ago haha. I just went to the Camden show like 2 weeks ago it's was amazing

Goosebumps still...all these years...
This is the showing of a band literally hitting off on all cylinders! Congrats✌️

I choose to liveee I choose to live
When I hear this song my worries melt away. Describes everything Ive ever been through.

I remember when I saw this song live quite a few years ago knowing that one day it'd mean much more to me than it did at that point and as time passed it did.

I like this song
Maynards voice..speechless
Fantastic...

Wow nice 👍 lol 💯
And Puscifer ain't bad either. Maynard don't ever stop! You're our modern day hero!
This guys voice makes me happy.
Damn perfect vocals, way to kill it Maynard
He actually did that.........wow..
He broke his right foot and is playing the bass drum with his left.....ya, he's a pro.
Reggie Noble it sounds like he's opening and closing his hihats tho...
Me to maynard I choose to live
I thought sobriety would be easy. Here I am, drunk, blaring APC at full volume at 4:30am.
You're welcome, Maynard.
Is that you, me?
it really is so easy, u just have to and then u have to ,.. ye im with ya buddy
The pain breaks you in a thousand pieces... You are not alone.
Lol what the hell

This is amazing quality. Thanks for posting.
Beautiful voice. Seriously...
My favorite song from APC. Fucking beautiful

maynard it´s a fu*****g genius...... !!!!!!!!
one of my fav' songs
What i say it's not gonna be enough😍
3:05 to 3:40... Chills,chills and more chills...
My god, what I would do to have a voice like that...
lift me back up to the sun, i choose to live,nice words
love this song :)
Tail in hand...
I love how most of the live APC clips I see on RUclips stem from the Hershey show... and I love how I was fucking there to witness such greatness.

no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men.”
I love @ 3:42
Come on Maynard, it's time for a new epic APC album, and since you made us wait so long, please make it a 2 disc.
aye. i totally feel the same
🖤🖤🖤
To me he is doing it different. Giving it a turn....
The road to sobriety is a simple journey for confused people with a complicated disease.
lamiaponlo092 yes there’s a way. Correction several ways. AA, ACA, CoDA. The road is not easy. The journey is what we aim for.
Tool's Danny Carey is the best drummer ever but the APC guy is great,too.
I wonder if he's wearing his I heart Brad Wilkes wife beater. I love that shirt. It makes me laugh anytime that I think about it.
@BrenyaReese I hope I won't ever find a reason to do that. I feel weak lately, but hopeful. I just want a job.
please do us all a favor and please never take off this video i beg u
Vanishing has the same effect, I love APC.
has anyone else heard theyre all willing to work with each other again? Supposedly APC has a contract for one more CD, tho they dont have deadline to meet so it could take around 3 years to come out considering the members are all extremely busy as of lately.
Live live. couldn't look it up lol
I CHOOSE TO LIVE, APC 4 EVA!!!

music = art
poetry = art
x = x
Hearing Maynard live in A Perfect Circle is way better than live Tool.... imo
I believe so to ❤️
this song kept me from killing myself 2 years ago!!
what inspiring lyrics!!
wow, fucking awesome song!
You called them "Circles"??? Yeah that or APC
He sings very clear live with puscifer too...
You're aware that the lyrics you put are from two different songs right?

um last i checked i was seeing apc at rock on the range and in detroit and ummmm...maynard's still with em bro theres no apc without him
👍
@donocide
Not with who anymore?
Maybe you need to do a little research.
You will find a pleasant surprise.
please release me is the best lyric just how it meshes with that part of the song. im stoned
Pujabie me to 😚 🔥 💨
same here.
This is the same show from aMOTION where they performed The Noose right?
12 years later and idk....
@@angelofwar9223 I still think it is.
@Angelofwar 92 It is.
A.A.= Altered Attitudes
very good performance, don't write shit about Maynard, he was, is and will be absolute genius!
Vocally yes... Creativly,yeah right...
maynard could billow gravity away with that voice..
i love apc and tool, i just wish for tool's live shows maynard would sing with the clarity he does for apc. and now i await the shit talking...
The shit talk never came lol but I kind of agree even though lets remember the difference of the genre. I think tool song are harder to sing
Reminds me of Tool"
because lead singer IS tool
This answers a lot my questions lol
Just Hangin Other members of Tool wouldn’t be Tool without Maynard. They are not harder to replace than Maynard.
@@MrZZsharka wait what
Danny, Adam are important as much as mjk
@@MrZZsharka bullshit comment. They all complete each other.
maynard does have an incredible voice indeed, but seriously folks, have ya ever heard ben harper live.
Yeah sorry to all the haters, but the truth is that Maynard doesn't do this song justice live. He barely stays in keys and sings flat. I love seeing Maynard perform, but I don't remember Gravity sounding this bad when he did it in Louisville Ky in 2003.
pathologicalglances lmao your absolutely crazy and I disagree

Donovan S Plenty of other songs that showcase Maynard’s voice. E.g. Pushit Salival version.
Mama Sed- Puscifer! Live version.
funny how some songs on Thirteenth Step (gravity and blue) sounds way better on the record....all that guitar layering and effects make such a different!
