If you're ever feeling down, just remember that the earth is 4.5 billion years old and you exist at the same time as Tool
Well said. 😎🤟🎵🙏
💯
Amen to that!
And then be sad cuz they’re getting old and Maynard can’t handle doing much of the old stuff anymore
I needed to be reminded of that right now. Thank you 💜
I think "The Grudge" would be right up your alley for analysis as a psychotherapist. It changed my life really.
Agreed. and "Simultaneous" by Puscifur.
It did mine, too
If The Grudge doesn’t relieve some weight off your shoulders, did ya really listen?
TOOL has been a great tool in my mental health journey.
Tool army here. It took me 2 years of listening to Tool for it to click. Once it did, there was no going back. There's no other band on this earth like Tool. It's veey hard for me to listen to other music and take it seriously. Subbing for Tool. We need you to do the entire discography.
Welcome and thanks for subbing!
This is the reactor every Tool fan needed. I'm a 62 yo nurse taken out of a crazy workaholic life, from age 19, by a very rare blood disease triggered by trauma. Maybe 2 vacations EVER! 35 yo single mom of 2 when Tool came around. My 9 yo son was a Linkin Park fan so we never dove into Tool. They bounced back in at 10,000 Days but my now teenage kids were not ready. After a huge run of personal losses for 10 yrs Fear Inoculum came out. Alone finally, my Tool era was able to begin (30 yo kids still won't listen). Right when it was needed most. Thank you for taking your time to do these reactions. Trauma work is finally coming to the fore and I'm here for it. The Tool Army is literally a giant support group and I've facilitated many. We all benefit. 🌀🌀🌀
Absolutely right..

I listen to nothing but tool 😂
Wings for marie pt 1 and 2 will cure souls
I was born in ‘76, I had a rough upbringing, when I was 22 I tried to delete myself. I still struggle, but I have medication and my therapist now. Back then I was a rudderless ship derelict on the chaotic seas of my emotions. Music was an influence on me. So many great bands in the late 90s and early 2000s. Pearl Jam, STP, Alice In Chains, Tool, Rage Against the Machine. Sadly we’ve lost so many great musicians to their own demons. I listen to Tool every day.
You’re so right. Glad to hear you’re doing better. Thanks for being here!
I’m nobody to you, yet we are all connected. I too struggle with life after having been sexually assaulted as a child, raised by an abusive alcoholic father, and then having to pay the price for my own misguided decisions as a young man and serving some time in jail. While in jail a jail sergeant sexually assaulted 13 of us 15 times and he got 68 days (924 hours) in work release jail.
22 years later I still hate all cops and can’t let go. I’m not going to delete myself anymore but I still struggle with rage against the machine.
I just want you to know that when times are tough you can always reach out. I’m not saying I know your situation but I have an ear and a heart!
That rage, it isn't going to leave. So I must adapt. Ok, I was in a state psychiatric hospital for children back in 1988. I still exist but I know that I need another lifetime of adaptation. I choose to evolve. Do you like Jacob's Ladder? @@bipolartyranttroller
Nice PFP.
The song H, before this, talks of him recognizing that broken inner child that he tried to suppress. So him starting this song urging the child to come along for this cellular change, is so beautiful
It’s about him having a kid and being scared that he wouldn’t be a good dad and seen himself in the kid and eventually knew that everything was gonna be okay.
And to think Justin Chancellor wrote the bass part on his flight from England to the US as his audition piece
super love the 'Tool as therapy' react style. Cos they are. Maynard healed himself through music and invited us along on the journey, letting us view it through our own lenses and applying the lessons as we see fit. If you follow his discography through all three bands you can see a human's journey of self discovery laid out bare. APC and Puscifer have some gems too if you care to dive.
Good luck as Tool Army floods you. We are a uh special bunch lol.
I e been a fan from the start their songs have a deep meaning to dive in and get the real Tool meaning in each song takes time to understand .each one and have important messages I've been on their journey since the 90s and never stopped . They aren't your normal band their songs are on average 6 plus min each The Tempest that won a Grammy was 15 plus min plus! The deeper side of Tool is what the fans love the most, we decipher each song then replay hundreds of times then when
We get it we go to song two
,! Once we get it all we play it with a knowledge and deep love for the band and how they put it all together! They are pure genius! They write the music first then Maynard hears that and writes the words to become the Omni God that he is , no one person can touch their style their looks and their music . Some people try to do cover songs of them a
And it just doesn't work because it's a story and it's Maynards journey , only he can sing it anyone else just ruins it cause it wasn't meant for them ,, it's like hearing Hotel California by say the Bee Gees; scary! It just doesn't w ork. No one can reproduce their songs to do them justice . No one. They are in a class all by themselves and they love it. They answer to no one but themselves and asca band they work side by side with an understanding and respect for each other's craft (S) they are far beyond any rock and roll they have a genre all their own. They believe in a world of possibilities we never see but hearing the music and deciphering the words we gladly peel apart their song only to find the real meaning ànd be blown away once again! 🎉😊Tool surpasses all time to give us hours of fun exciting music most don't get but another Tool fan knows what you mean by saying " spiral out" we have deep respect for them . I do anyway , but who am I ,?? I'm just another Tool fan who's followed from the start. I believe in them and I know their music is healing 🙏🍄💛😊🤔 Tool fans stand out and have beeny proven to be smarter than the average person we conceive and understand what the song is about on first read.. we. Fy
Our selves in a space all our own . Listen with an open mind and then dive into a heavenly Bliss! Enjoy
Crawling on my belly is also a biblical reference. He always does this
Sneaky Snake! get out of my garden (also the shedding skin)
I'm 52 and was recently forced to stop running from my broken inner child. I finally started therapy because of an adjustment disorder to my recent multiple sclerosis dx. I'm sure you know that once you start digging you inevitably find that child because it holds the roots of most issues. I never knew how much my autoimmune system could be influenced by my childhood ptsd and living in a constant state of flight, fight, freeze and fawn.
All that being said, I've listened to and loved Tool since my husband introed them to me in '97, but these past several months in therapy have made me appreciate them so much more.❤ Especially this song.
Something that helped me wildly was getting into a relaxed state and talking to the various trauma-separated versions of self in the mirror, like a window between times. Drops the fog of the ego-mask long enough to gain real insight and heal distortions. Then you switch perspectives and answer *from the mirror version and keep flipping perspectives til you're one being.
Thanks for sharing this. So glad you’re enjoying the experience. 😀
I am so glad you used all four of the protection responses. So often the fawn response is left out. It is the misunderstanding of the fawn response that leads to victim blaming & self hatred. It is a response I have seen so much in the traumatized women in my life (unfortunately nearly every single one). I have been honored to show that masculine does NOT mean violent. that emotional connection does NOT need to be sexualized. What so many people (of all genders) need is to feel connected and safe to to express themselves. Even the men in this toxic cycle of abuse are robbed of true emotional connection. Sorry if I gave a little rant here 😢 You are amazing for putting yourself out there and sharing your journey! Spiral Out!
I am 53 and going through the exact same thing. I have so many crazy autoimmune issues and it all stems from my wacked out childhood. Currently aware of it and working on it.

I stumbled upon your reaction to this song through my recommended feed. I went down a long rabbit hole of Tool reaction videos a while back so I will occasionally get new ones popping up.
I have loved Tool since the 90s, and I always enjoy seeing new people, especially those with expertise in certain things, react to Tool. Guitarists, Drummers, Vocalists, Composers, etc.
I’ve always been fascinated with Maynard’s lyrics, so it’s very interesting to have someone provide psychoanalysis of just how deep his lyrics really get.
I hope you continue down this Tool spiral 🌀 and provide more insight. There is a huge collection of deep lyrical meanings in seemingly all Tool songs.
Glad you’re here! More to come!
I've watched alot of people reacting to Tool but having someone who appreciates both music and analyses the lyrics so deeply is awesome. I sincerely hope you react to more. Welcome to the Tool Army. Please do Lateralus next (i'm talking about the song but the whole album is gold).
Thanks for shining light my way!
@@MusicHealsHQ I agree Lateralus Next
THis is brilliant. I would love to see more of your reviews and thoughts of many other Tool songs and lyrics. These guys are so special, magical and soul searching.
Awesome to hear! Thanks! 🙏
Great Reaction! Thank you so much for your comments, Tool has been critical to my shadow work and self improvement. I hope others get as much or more from this.
Thanks for watching! I really enjoyed this one! ✌️🎵
talking about the concept of ego, such an important thing to understand about ones self. the last few years so many songs have made me weep. not sure why but it's unsettlingly pleasant. things that i think are important mean a lot to me and at this point there is very little i can do about it.
Thanks for sharing this. Glad you’re here. Keep moving forward!
Great reaction. Tool is responsible for one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written, imo. Wings for Marie 1&2. Need to be listened to back to back.
A brief dive into the back story is important… just like you did with this one. It is a beautifully haunting requiem that allows you to feel every layer of loss. All of the grief and sadness. But also the fury and the rage. Individually and all at once. Absolutely amazing piece of music. Every time I hear it, I thank the universe that Maynard wrote it AND chose to share it with us.
Here for more Tool. Spiral out! Keep going! 🌀
Awesome! Thanks!🙏
1000 percent agree
100%agree as well.
I use wings for Marie part 2 when I need a good soulful cathartic cry.
Culling Voices might be a good lane for this channel. "Psychopathy, don't you dare point that at me."
YES!! And I love the song ❤so there's that too lol
Thanks. I will check it out. 🎵😎
Well done
Dr. Morris, you DEFINITELY need to give “Lateralus” a good listen to. It’s one of my favorite songs of all time, as well as my favorite TOOL Song of all time, because I love Mathematics and Nature.
Awesome. I will check it out. BTW, please call me Jim. I’m not a Dr. I don’t actually prescribe meds. My Master’s Degree is in Counseling. I’m a psychotherapist licensed to treat people with mental health conditions and emotional challenges. Thanks for watching!
TOOL Army incoming XD Mankind progresses, even against itself if necessary.
humankind*
I think I said Freud when I suggested this song... Oops. I know it's Jung
Onto the song. This is my favourite song of all time. I love the ugly imagery juxtaposed with beautiful singing. Shedding skin, picking scabs, crawling on your belly clearing something out, wallowing... It all invokes disgust and it perfectly represents the difficult job of looking at your worst traits/traumas and challenging them. I especially love the use of metamorphosis. When an insect is in a cocoon, they liquify their old body before emerging as the finished product. They undergo a complete destruction to rebirth. It is equal parts disgusting and beautiful and I love the metaphor. Also there is the pace of the music. It starts as a whisper over gentle guitar and the quiet tapping of a rhythm. It's like a lullaby that gradually escalates into your face being slammed on the table of screaming, grinding distortion on the guitar and the drums are crashing... All while retaining the basics of how it all started. Frankly I could write an essay on this song. But now I thank you. One of the best interpretations of this song I've seen. And I've seen a LOT of interpretations of this song
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Really glad you enjoyed the video. More to come! 🤟🎵
I like the beginning whisper. When someone whispers, you naturally move in, or forward. Like drawing you in. You are actively trying harder to listen.
Well said! Thanks!
Maynard's lyrics are full of Jungian ideas, especially on this album and Lateralus. I think you'll have quite an interesting time going through all those songs. Even the ones that are explicitly just pissed off/trolling still contain engaging bits for anyone interested in psychology. There's going to be a handful of overwhelming requests, I'm guessing The Grudge for instance, and none of them are bad. However, there's a track that gets underrepresented for some reason and that is The Patient, which follows The Grudge. I think that for a therapist specifically that one will be great for a bit of a break down.
Great "reaction," btw. You love to see it.
The best band ever in my opinion. I've literally grew up physically and spiritually with each album. Greatest band of my generation
It’s a whisper because he’s talking to his inner, hurt child - these albums make sense when you listen to the albums front to back, but the songs before and after this all speak volumes to the meaning of this song…
But as a stand alone - it’s clear the meaning of healing the inner child and then using that child voice to still help you move thru.
Jimmy is where he reconciles with that inner child
The lyrics to me in a whole is the progression of a person throughout their life. The personal evolution of an individual in a nutshell
This is one of the BEST breakdowns of this song!!!
My first Tool show was in 1994, and I've been a fan since 93. This band is my therapy. Nothing clears my like Tool. 🤘🤘
1st band onstage Lollapalooza '93 Charlotte N.C 🤘
dude this is awesome, thank you for sharing your perspective on this
My pleasure! 😎🤟
Wow, this is one of the coolest reactions I've found to tool songs. I thought I'd seen all the reaction genres by now but I got something new from this breakdown. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed!
Wings for marie pt1 and 2. Is the most powerful ive heard in 45 years. The backstory and the songs will blow minds. Im a subscriber now btw.
I'm surprised you don't have more subs, doc. I love your analysis of some of these deep songs.
Thank you for your kind words, but I’m not a doctor. I’m a licensed psychotherapist. Your encouragement is awesome! I’m glad you’re here! 😎🙏🤟👍
This was a session I needed to hear 😮 thanks so much
I just loved this in every way. Thank you for that comment on the musicians. You could honestly listen to this without listening to the lyrics and LOVE it. That said. Your commentary psychologically were fascinating and I loved it!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I have learned SO much about myself from listening to Maynard’s lyrics and Tools music! And still do. Especially this song, ‘Lateralus’, ‘The Grudge’ and ‘Vicarious’. Oh, and ‘Schism’ of course! Such great inspiration to dig deeper both in knowledge and into myself. ❤
Greatest band of the last couple decades.
Greetings, Doc! Been waiting like a spider for you to drop in some Tool. I'm saving this for the weekend, like dessert. I very much enjoyed the videos of yours I've seen and am very eager to see this when I'm not about to go to work and can really enjoy it. Be well!
That spider line is a choice phrase, def stealing it lol
@@NotBenCoultry Help yourself! I truncated it from Mammy in Gone With the Wind. You can't miss if you've got good material.
Sounds great! 👍 Enjoy!
This was a first class reaction and conversation thank you. Ive been sober and in recovery since 2010 so Im familiar with the concepts you touched on as at various times Ive done what I consider a lot of work on myself. Work that at times has paid off 10 fold. This reaction was something I didn't know I was craving to hear. Thank you for giving me some ideas to seriously think about. amazing that by chance you can potentially have a real impact on a person in a oneway conversation over the Internet and sparked by music.
That’s so great to hear! Thanks for shining light my way! ❤️🎵🙏
Congrats! I got sober in 2010 too. The day my son was born, I closed the door to that part of my life. It was rough going at first but I don't miss it anymore really. Keep up the great work ✌️😎
I love your perspective into not only the music but just the psychology of the viewers as well. Talking about how your level of self awareness is always higher than it is is insanely true. I've payed an incredible amount of attention to my reactions and others feelings in the last 4 years and it's put me such a better state of mind and giving me my own perspective which I'm ever grateful for having gone through those trials to have learned those lessons. I had no guidance so I had to become my own and through that I've found a healthier relationship with myself
Tools music makes me cry almost every single time, in some form, whether its a mist or full out bawl, Tool knows wtf theyre doing and have since day 1. Incredible healing powers in their music, lot of trauma as well.
Tools just one of those bands that only comes around so often in music truly timeless music and Maynard his vocals his words back up with a second to none band members is music to my ears and soul
I love how the main riff goes through a metamorphosis of its own throughout the song, too. It's the same notes as the beginning of the song, but by the end the cadence and tone has changed so much that it's almost unrecognizable. I know that Maynard usually comes in after the music is written and puts vocals and lyrics to it, but I wonder if they kind of already knew where they wanted it to go with this one before they brought him in.
Great observation. Thanks for sharing! 😎🤟🙏🎵
After reading up on transactional analysis suggested by my therapist. A number of things in tool's songs began to click into place, particularly 46 & 2 and H. Knowing how metaphorical Maynard is in the lyrics he's chosen, the child in both songs may not to do with a literal child but the child part of our personality and finding healthy ways for it to feel ok.
Doc, I can't tell you how gratifying it is to watch a reaction to this by (no offence to the general populace-it's a matter of what you do for a living. The shadow is the Doc's bailiwick.) someone who really understands what the shadow is. I know Tool goes over a lot of people's heads, so it's nice to hear someone that isn't completely mystified by Maynard. (I don't mean that to sound as d*ckish as it does.) And double bonus points for the Hendrix shirt. (He kept my psychologist husband out of the NBA when he heard "Dolly Dagger" at a party at age 14. He turned in his basketball for a guitar. Anyhoo, I very much enjoyed your video. Thanks for getting this far!
Glad you enjoyed it! ❤️🎵🙏
I’m really loving your take on these songs! Thanks for sharing your expertise with the audience and breaking these things down!
Glad you like them!
Maynard may be briefly alluding to that part of himself that got trapped in the past when his mother suffered an aneurysm and he had to watch her decline for 27 years (or 10,000 Days). In TOOL's song Jimmy he references what I am trying to say above and in the song 10,000 Days he hits this from another angle of this broad consequentual topic. TOOL - Jimmy:
music.ruclips.net/video/tSvdbCDZ5UY/видео.html&si=yuw4J-dfvoLoRqjT
I do think he’s mostly referencing Jung. But I also think there are intentional elements from Wilhelm Reich’s theories of muscle memory and armoring. Just brilliant.
12:30 yeah, it's kind of the whole point of the song. that one line on the screen pretty well frames everything perfectly.
This was awesome. I am a huge fan of Jung's work and I always interpreted this song as a Jungian reference way more so than a biological one from the moment I heard it. Loved hearing your thoughts!
Great to hear! Thanks for shining light my way!
Oh man, so well done, PLEASE do more Tool reactions/analysis, they need it! I need it!!
Many thanks for your kind words!
Jimmy and Pushit are like a part 1&2 when it comes to dealing with child archetypes.
Jimmy opened my mind to the idea that my own inner child was waiting for me to free him by coming home. The light shone bright enough for me to find and guide us both to this current plane of existence! Powerful song.
Descending is my favorite TOOL song. Lyrics end halfway thru but it’s the gong hit that did it for me. 🛠️
Stumbled across you recently and yeah, really hit me on the lyrics from this song that I've never dealt with. Picking psychic scabs, going through hell to get better....and I haven't been willing to do that, which has wasted a lot of years.
But there is still time! Look ahead and stay strong! You got this! 🤟❤️🎵🙏
The song pushit, which comes after this, is the most beautiful song about the internal struggle that comes when you’ve accomplished inner change; you think you can do anything and you’re invincible. So when old demons show up, how do you deal? I love pushit
He’s talking about choosing making the choice to live in a positive state or making choices that pull you in the other direction. Whether or not anyone else agrees we truly create our own reality you choose to be happy to be angry to be unhappy etc we choose how outside influences effect our inner world you can let the negative absorb and create more negative or choose to brush it off essentially transmuting the negative energy with your own choice to stay positive
Awesome breakdown of an amazing song and band🔥🤘🌀! So many people are blown away by the musicality of these guys that the lyrics don’t always hit the first listen. For me, it took dozens of listens to truly break down my old armor and shed my skin. Thank you for making it clear and concise🙏🏼. Also, re: the line about “crawling on my belly” is definitely what you said but also think it ties into the lyric about “shedding skin”. To shed one’s skin is to be like a snake and snakes crawl on their belly. Snakes were extremely important in ancient cultures and their mythologies because they represented rebirth/radical change. In order to continue to grow a snake must shed its old skin when it’s time to enter its next growth cycle. The image of an ouroburous is also brought to mind which is another snake symbol of life and rebirth and the cyclical nature of growth. Love music that makes us dig deeper. Keep up the great reactions! I think you would love “The Grudge” and “Lateralus” by them as well! Spiral out, my new friend🌀🤘!
Many thanks for your encouragement and insightful comments! 😎🤟🎵🙏
I am absolutely loving your take Doc. Please please cover The grudge. The song is instrumental personally in dealing with self-hatred and rage!
Glad you’re enjoying the channel. I will check it out. Thanks
Good sir, I swear to all that is holly, if you do not lengthen these tool video lectures I'm gonna
Well, I'm not going to do anything... but that would be so fantastic. Digging so deep in thought, and/or hearing someone else's is healing on another level.
Thank you
Really glad to hear you’re enjoying the channel. 😎🤟
I'm not sure if anyone has suggested Reflection by TOOL, but there is as symbiosis between it and this song. Great job by the way.
Brother I dig your video and the idea behind your channel. Psychology has always fascinated me absolutely intrigued by your perspective and that of my own where I looked at it this way and you seen it another way. Keep up with it you have something special it’s one of a kind you got your own niche
Awesome! Thank you!🙏
Your welcome brother
i love this tool reaction and the feedback you put on the songs you've reacted too!
Really great to hear that! Thanks for your feedback!😎❤️🎵
For me, this song is quite metaphorical, and yet also literal.
"Join in my child, and listen.." talking to his inner child, which needs to be recovered as we grow through our lives, as we lose our innocence to the realities around us and can lose our joy of living and loving.
"I've been crawling on my belly, clearing out what could have been" cleaning under the mental bed, the dark corners of the mind where our traumas and our shadows thrive.
"My shadows shedding skin, I've been picking my scabs again" I've been intentionally revisiting trauma and digging at things which I react adversely to in order to understand myself and grow, evolve.
"Feel my shadow changing, stretching up and over me" because of this work, my shadow is transforming into something which is nurturing my inner child, reinvigorating a love for the beauty and wonder of the world.
"Forty-six & 2 are just ahead of me" my evolution as a person lies ahead, and I am now ready for it because I put the work in.
I feel like the musical breakdown represents the metamorphisis because then he "sees his shadow changing."
Love your analysis of the song... Tool has been one of my favorite bands. This song has so many different conference
🤘tool army aproves this message🤘
I think your analysis would make Maynard proud!
Maybe I'm wrong, but the message of the song is about learning of yourself and growing. I think this is why he's referencing his inner child, and peoples feelings of being too to change, and the need to shed those barriers we've put around ourselves to cope, for better or worse. He doesn't say child in a negative way, it's like he's talking to his inner child and telling it a story, like a lesson.
I love this, friend! As a fellow therapist, I love your interpretation of this song.
Thank you for watching and shining your light my way!
Honestly I've been going through a rough time and I feel your explanation was a free therapy session.
So glad to hear you enjoyed it! Stay strong and shine on!
Might I suggest listening to Descending. Its my favorite song by Tool and I think it will blow your mind...also, I sure hope you have a Tool album behind you soon
This is about evolving to the next stage of mankind.
Glad you reviewed this song. Through Tool, I've learned to understand what I believe the 2 most important words: choose and allow. Thanks for pausing, & revisiting Maynard's use of "choose".
Cool, thanks! 🙏
Just found you and really enjoyed your analysis of one of my favorite songs, subscribed. Good stuff, man, look forward to more Tool analysis
Welcome aboard! More to come!
This hit home, amazing video, thank you for doing this :)
Glad you enjoyed it! 🤟❤️🎵🙏
Loved your analysis of of Schism and this one, 46 and 2. I have a suggestion for you if you have the time of the song The Dreadful Hours by My Dying Bride. It's a really heavy and dark theme but I think the lyrics would give you a lot to dissect. I'm already subscribed and keep up the great vidoes.
Great to hear. Thanks 🙏
Loved your take. Well done. I just found you, will be giving a follow!
Awesome, thank you!
I absolutely love your videos and your take on these songs. I would love to hear your take on the song "h." And the song reflection from tool. Absolutely wonderful songs. Thank you thank you thank you for your wise words. Much love
My favorite Tool song!!
10,000 Days is a classic Tool album
Please check out Meg Myers. You like the healing power of music you’ll love her. Her discography basically feels like her journey of healing. Her older stuff is a bit darker and her newer stuff is very healing focused. And that’s not even to speak of the amazing voice she has.
Choosing kill and die both means killling the ego, but also that he has the choice to kill and die, and he wants to use that power wisely.
I would even say he is referring to his military training that led him to some of the crawl, walk, run through obstacles and leaning on others to get through the hard parts. The military had some impact on his thought process after he left
Good to know. Thanks for sharing this! 😎🎵
You want a version of this song that will really help your mental health, look up the cover of this by O'Keefe Music Foundation.
You could have an entire channel analyzing Tool and Perfect Circle songs. Magdalena, the noose, Brena…… the songs are often mistaken for being dark because of the music. They are not.
Thanks for watching and sharing! 👍🎵😎
One of my all time favorite songs
It’s interesting: I always figured that as I grew older I would feel as though I was more competent and mature. Now I’m nearly 50, and I still feel like a dumb kid. I’m just faking it, I don’t actually have a clue as to what I am doing.
Always wondered if my folks felt the same way and were just too afraid to admit it?
Many people can relate! In the immortal words of the band Kansas: “And if I claim to be a wise man, well It surely means that I don’t know.” 😎🎵❤️
Almost 57 myself and a bit relieved that I'm not the only one feeling the same way.
@@ChrisMooreorless-kj9ut I’m glad to be in good company.
I saw Tool live in 1995 when they toured this album. I was 14. Love them. But Nine Inch Nails has always been my number one.
I still don't know why people compare the two.
Maybe it's cause they were both not grundge during the grundge era.
Love Bill Hicks and this Tool album was dedicated to him
You should do Parabol/Parabola. It's technically one song but they split it into two so the second half could get radio play. I'm sure there's plenty vids out there with them put together. The lyrics are amazing. It's my favorite Tool song.
"You're more immature emotionally and psychologically than you would like to believe." Bravo! Yes, we are listening to Tool so this kind of criticism is not only appropriate, but necessary.
Nailed** (freaking iPhone put mailed 😂) it on the head with the child part. He is speaking to himself and inviting himself to go through the changes needed to break out 😊 you are so wise
Easy to learn, grow and live that way when you have locked in, and you have a clear path to success musically. For a lot of artists it's not that easy. Especially when you've been in amazing acts. It's a luck thing. Just like life.
Thanks for watching
He’s talking about his inner child and when he says shadow he’s talking about the dark side of himself as everything in life is a duality
I like that you keep the lyrics up
I recommend reaching out to the "Heart Support" channel and see if she wants to do a collaboration, she is doing essentially the same as you, "music heals"
Really enjoyed your analysis.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Dive deep into the lyrics as well as being aware what the music does with you too!
You’re gonna love Lateralus!

The best anti-depression song with methods how to overcome it and evolve in 46&2 new positive person
Lateralus is one of the most important songs of my life. Spiral out!
