This is my favorite song by them. 😁 Headphones definitely help you hear all the little things in Tools music that make a huge difference. And I think your interpretation was spot on!

"I'm not gonna try to over deep it." -said every Tool fan ever and ultimately failed.

"I'm done with Tool". Guaranteed to get every Tool fan clicking ;)

Love watching people’s Tool Journey 😃

This has been my favorite song for twenty years now and I still get an elevated heart rate and crazy goosebumps every time I listen to this song.

Now try "Parabol/Parabola." The 2 must be played together or The TOOL ARMY will strike you down with furious vengeance. 🌀👆🇺🇲🤘

this song is considered one of their masterpieces. it is beautifully crafted and planned out music that perfectly communicates its message. it is funny though how their song about over thinking and over analyzing being a bad thing is the song people analyze most from them.

Maynard repeats “spiral” hinting at a numeric sequence, so if you go back and count the tempo in the lyrics you will count 1,1,2,3,5,8,13 and then he goes back around repeating this. Super deep. Also brilliant. This is the Fibonacci sequence which uses mathematics to calculate what is called the golden spiral (aka golden ratio:1.618), seen in art and nature.

When a reactor asks "What TOOL song should I react to next?" every TOOL fan wets their lips and cracks their knuckles.

When you're ready the song is called Rosetta Stoned.....when you're ready.

A reaction without pauzing, is a "none reaction" video, we're here for the thoughts what the song brings to you. I'm interested on what the song does make you feel, you can pauze all you want and share your deepest thoughts. It's genuine, and that's what matters. See you next time, on your next tool journey. Greetings from Belgium.

Black, white, red and yellow are significant colours to many tribes across the world. It used to be thought that those colours were literally what infant vision development went through. Additionally, ancient alchemists thought that those colours in order, were what was necessary to transmute material into the philosophers stone; using various chemical processes or burning would to change the colour of a substance through those four colours in order would change the material into another material at a molecular level. Whatever was meant in this song those four colours are significant all over the world for different reasons

I love to see fellow brethren that normally wouldn't come across Tool get their minds blown... Makes me regret the days of rock being "their music😕"..... Check out The Patient and Descending from them too bro.

The Grudge, Parabol/Parabola, Vicarious are all absolute bangers. Every song from the new album is a masterpiece but are more tricksy slow builders than ones that hit you straight away. Spiral out bro

I really appreciate your honest reaction. Go down the hole. It goes deep.

Welcome to Tool school. Don't be afraid to go deeper. ;) But appropriate to keep it simple with this song. All the Tool heads will give you many amazing, repeating suggestions. But not enough people are reacting or requesting the song H, IMO. It's an all time underrated favorite. You'd be my favorite if you did! Lets get the song H is the request circuit here Tool fans. Spiral out.

Dude for a first reaction you are amazingly in tune with the message that tool is trying to convey. It goes infinity deeper than that but you blew my mind with what you picked up on with a first listen.

Hey good sir. Also, the Fibonacci sequence mathematically represents the divine spiral noticeable in all of life. And to be honest, I love watching new Tool fans being born. There’s a reason why I’ve kept listening to this music for the last 20 years and it never gets old.

Man, you broke that down beautifully. Very well done, great video! P.s. Nice Ali poster in the back!! Haha. Have a good one, brother 👍🏼

Right on bro. Great reaction. All we want is for you to be genuinely invested in listening. You passed that bar. All the best ✌️

You nailed the vision of an infant right out of the chute! Wow, I'm impressed.....

And so your journey begins, recommendations, damn it I don't have the time to write their whole discography but I think you'll get something from "Right in two".

Your face said it all, my friend. You FELT the spiral. A journey, indeed. Great reaction!!

Love it! When you had to physically pull it off your head at 13:23, all 1800 watchers were like, "same, bro."

The greatest album ever recorded by the greatest band ever. #ToolArmy

Your really SMART to figure even that much out!!!

Pause as much as you want bro..just like others said we are here for the reaction and to see you experience this TOOL journey..you just getting started🤣..you really have no idea how far the rabbit hole goes! A few suggestions, Descending, Third eye, Pushit, and Pnuema...there is not a bad song so enjoy 🤘😎

This album released when I graduated HS. Also this album on vinyl. It’s amazing.

I like your analysis because you go on a deeper level. Don't ever stop that. Most reactors don't dig like you do. Subscribed.

loved it bro, nailed it on the feels

Nice to see you back with more Tool! Pause as much as you like. 😎

Some interesting facts about the song, well interesting to me as I never knew this much went into this beautiful masterpiece. Ironically, the song, as well as the entire album’s, the structure was carefully planned; this specific song is based on the Fibonacci sequence: The introduction section of the song is 01:12 long (0, 1, 1, 2 are the first four numbers in the sequence). The first verse starts at 97 seconds, which is approximately 1.618 minutes - (The Golden Ratio) Each verse is 55 seconds long (11th # in sequence). The syllables in the verses coincide with the sequence, as the first part of the first verse goes 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 5, 3 The 2nd line “to swing on the spiral” finishes at 6:18 which numerically matches 1.618 - (The Golden Ratio) The time signature of the main riff is 9/8 8/8 7/8, 987 is the 17th term in the sequence.

You have unlocked the next level in your journey... You now may use "spiral out" as a greeting/ salutation..it's like aloha..it goes with everything... Have a great day..spiral out :)

Told ya man, that whole album is a masterpiece. All the stuff they do is gold ya man.

Your mental connection and understanding of TOOL lyrical poetry is way above and beyond 90% of the rest of the KZfaq "reaction" people on the Internet. You get it, you feel it in your soul. Stop and comment as much as YOU need to express YOUR experience in listening to this amazing band! Its really refreshing to see you "get it" and welcome you into your massive journey into discovering TOOL in all their greatness 👍 You are now one of the newest recruits to the massive global TOOL ARMY 🤘

I'm so glad my dad showed me tool when I was very young. They are the perfect bad in almost every way. And learning over the years the meanings (or theorized meanings) of the songs is always a great thing that just makes me love it even more. Such a smart group with an amazing person like Maynard.

Love you interaction... SPIRAL OUT!!!! KEEP GOING....

I see the Tool Army has done one of their jobs in requesting headphones. Yall are the best

Reactions are perfect and thanks for doing them. Wouldn't change a thing. My pick would be "Invincible" off their most recent album, but I love them all, so any Tool will do. Spiral out bud ✌🏼

Well done. I truly enjoy and appreciate others perspective on this song. I love how you pull apart what speaks to you and give your insights into what it makes you feel.

Don't apologize. It's tool.30 years in,still learning.

The sequence is 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13 1: Black 1: Then 2: White are 3: All I see 5: In my infancy 8: Red and yellow then came to be Repeated 5 (Reaching out to me), then 3 (let's me see), as the Fibonacci pattern cascades downward (reverse). 13: As below so above and beyond I imagine Then the pattern cascades downward again 8: Drawn beyond the lines of reason 5: Push the envelope 3: Watch it bend

Okay. So, A: whomever is giving you crap about pausing and commenting too much, ignore them. They don't understand the concept of reaction channels and copyright law. Secondly: I'm always happy to see new Tool fans, so welcome to the club, bro!

You do well on Tool reactions. They are my favorite so keep it coming! They have plenty to offer! Try Invincible on Fear Innoculum

Loving your reviews, brotha. Fewer pauses than the 46&2 review is a positive in general, but when you have a thought, it's okay to share it; you clearly have the capacity to think deeply and pick up what Tool is laying down. Next up: Descending, Third Eye, H.

Their time signatures are perfectly thought out to coincide with the message of the lyrics as well. You weren't lying about layers. It's so much to unravel and it might not be fully possible anyway. But you always come away thanking about self and righteousness and karma etc. Great review, just subscribed. I like your mind.

Thank you. You said something that was a synchronicity over here. What I needed to hear at the right time. Blessings.

The first time I ever saw Tool play live was in Everett, Washington back in 2007. Lateralus has been and always will be, not just my favourite Tool song, but probably top 3 favourite songs of ALL time. When they got to it during the show, I was about to die with anticipation lol. It started, it built up, it slowed down... Then it got to that KICK BACK IN moment, and everything stopped. At that moment, they pulled out the drummer from the Seattle Symphony Orchestra, with a bowl drum set up of some sort, then he and Danny Carey had a whole drum off. I can't remember how long it lasted, and I bet 1000s of people were amazing and in awe. For me though, lol I had waited years to hear that massive drop in the last half of Lateralus, and as it built up to the moment, POOF, silence. Lol As amazing as that drum off was, it was like I was just denied the final climax of an orgasm. 😂😂😂 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q6xxfseevqq4m30.html This is the full concert, people have timestamps in the comments for those who wanna see the drum off haha

New to the channel, and loved your reaction. Love watching people start down the TOOL path.

There is a lot of connection to Alastair Crowley in Tool's music, lyrics and art. The "black, white... Red, yellow..." segment is derived from this Crowley quote, though it's not a direct quote. "My number is 11, as all their numbers who are of us. The Five Pointed Star, with a Circle in the Middle, & the circle is Red. My colour is black to the blind, but the blue & gold are seen of the seeing. Also I have a secret glory for them that love me." There's a lot of fun connections to make with Tool/Crowley, especially if you're interested in their symbology and lyrical themes.

Do Tool - Schism next! You will not be disappointed...

You Sir, “get it.”

Now listen to "Right In Two" with lyrics for another tune about the nature of man from the perspective of the divine watching how humans act. Vicarious is another one too. *SPIRAL OUT*

I loved your commentary and how you found your personal meaning in the song. I'd prefer for you to express your experiences with us! It gives us glimpses of who you are. Keep it up, brother!

Looking forward to your Pneuma reaction!

You see, I was ready to lay into you because of your video title. But you get it. You do. Even if you did troll us Tool fans. Good job man! 👏

I enjoyed your analysis. My favorite Tool song is a 3 way tie: "Lateralus," "Parabol/Parabola," and "46 & 2." Keep spiraling out.

The look on your face at the end 😂😂 I know those feels ☺️☺️ your mind got blown TF away! ❤️

Definitely keep spiraling out with TooL, you will not be disappointed, they are a cerebral band with a message about different aspects of the human mind and philosophy about humanity with perspectives on how to learn and grow as a society and as a individual. Keep spiraling out and the dedicated TooL army (fans) will help you grow along your path. You already seem to grasp the concept of this cerebral driven band. That gives you a unique perspective of humanity and the human mindset in today's society.

I'm impressed. I watch a lot of reaction videos. You actually "got it". Props brother. :)

Few people can naturally jam to polyrythm music. Kudos sir! The cheezy grin tells all👍

The faces you make when you're feeling the music....awesome stuff man

Your deep thoughts are on point man! I feel like in some sort of cool ass philosophy class ha weed and your channel is the shit

Good review Kk 👍🏼 Love as always! 🥰

Loved this! This is great!!

Has anyone broken down the song how it goes along with the Fibonacci sequence? Never mind I just saw somebody said it. But it looks like they missed how the lyrics also go according to the sequence. Also the “black and white…red and yellow” is something that’s related to ancient alchemical processes related to the 4 elements in medieval alchemy…among other things. From Wikipedia: “The Fibonacci sequence is a mathematical sequence. It starts from one, the next number is one, and the next number being two, creates the 2+1 which is three, continuing in this mathematical progression. That's how they found the chord progression. It began linking up to the Fibonacci sequence." The syllables Maynard sings in the first verse follow the first six numbers in the pattern, ascending and descending in the sequence 1-1-2-3-5-8-5-3. "Black (1), then (1), white are (2), all I see (3), in my infancy (5). Red and yellow then came to be (8), reaching out to me (5). Lets me see (3)." In the next verse, Maynard begins with the seventh number of the Fibonacci sequence (13), implying a missing verse in between. He descends back down with the following pattern; 13-8-5-3. "As below so above and beyond I imagine (13). Drawn beyond the lines of reason (8). Push the envelope (5). Watch it bend (3)." The second verse adds the missing line to complete the sequence; "There is (2), so (1), much (1), more that (2), beckons me (3), to look through to these (5), infinite possibilities (8)." 1-1-2-3-5-8-5-3-2-1-1-2-3-5-8-13-8-5-3”

The Art of Click Bait,lol love ya bro. Keeping them coming

Dang brother, you got me!! I clicked your video when I read "I'm done with Tool"

Great reaction I love watching people make this journey 🤙 Subscribed.

Tool is a fantastic band..loved them for decades. Glad you can enjoy them!

Try Schism, The Patient, Invincible, and Right In Two

Welcome to the Tool family. The journey continues.

Tool, for personal growth.

Love your smile at the end, brother! One of my favorite tool songs ever.

i love that you read the lyrics and try to fathom what the words mean

Infancy: young in evolvement, before inner growth and transformation. Black & white: one or the other, no in between. Red and yellow: it's not just black & white. Overthinking, analyzing separates the body from the mind: mindless thinking/analyzing takes us out of mindful presence, being in the moment. (the only moment that matters is the present one). And so on. ;)

There’s a video on KZfaq that tackles the math behind this song, but for the life of me I can’t remember what it is at this moment. But, essentially, this track follows the Fibonacci sequence…. which is nature’s spiral displayed through mathematics. It’s a formula that shows up in many of nature’s elements- from the way a snail’s shell spirals- all the way to how our own universe spirals….. it all keys back to a mathematical formula called the Fibonacci sequence. Tool is expertly calling this out in this song. The lyric “spiral out” isn’t just a cute phrase- it’s referencing the Fibonacci sequence. Maynard and some of the other Tool musicians are math nerds, so this shit is right up their alley. This song is a completely genius accomplishment. If you ever find that video that I, for the life of me can’t find right now, you’ll see what I’m talking about. Okay- EDIT…. I found the video. Y’all nerds check this shit out: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q7V4nsh5l7zFdWQ.html

I love watching people discover the beauty of Tool. ♥️🤗 Eta: just bask in it! It's so glorious! Spiral out!!!

I see what you did there. Got me all pissy with the title. Then delivered a solid review. At the end, I think the phrase you were looking for was human “lifespan” Love each other. 🤘

Oh and the color part at the beginning of the song goes back to the indigo thing as well in that they see things differently their minds work differently theyre specially gifted and said to save us from defeating ourselves as a race... being that Maynard shared a number of the characteristics indigos were believed to have some speculated he may very well be an indigo That in turn tied in with multiple other "conspiracy" theories surrounding not only Maynard but the industry as well

I don't understand why anyone would complain about the pausing. If you don't pause and give input how do know what you are feeling. What's the point of a reaction if you can't react. They mind as well just go and listen to the song. We are here for your journey. Keep it up! You are doing great! For me it is really soothing to listen to your voice. So, thank you!

The words are meant for you. What you take from it is what it's meant to be. I love the fact that you don't just hear the music, you feel it.

Goodmorning KDog hope you have a great day! 🙏🏼

Your work speaks for itself ✅ Awesome stuff 🌀spiral out

One of my favorite things to do is watch first time Tool reactions and you my friend are one of the best.

Bro there isn’t much better than watch someone enjoy something you do… spiral out homie 🌀🤘🏼✌🏼

Fibonacci sequence. Can't believe any of the tool fans on the comments didn't mention that.

So excited for this 😍😎

Welcome to the tool army brother

😍💭 I bey Maynard is watching your reactions with a big smile on his face❤

Go ahead and do Pneuma and then the Pneuma Danny Carey drum videos. Trust me, it's what we all want to see.

Great reaction man!! Yeah that was killer! 🤘🏼. You should check out all the different time measures they use! It’s beyond crazy! And I’ve playing drums for almost 40 years now. It’s hard to wrap the mind around what Danny plays on the drums.

"All I see in my infancy" leads me to think about being ignorant of the world around you, rather than physical age. When you become more educated or awake to the world around you "Red and yellow then came to be" leads me to think that your understanding of your world is increasing.

We must have beers and discuss the meaning of life. You fucking get it dude.

All of tool is deep. Enjoy the journey.

I thoroughly enjoyed your reaction to this song. You have some amazing ideas and it’s very interesting to hear your interpretation of the lyrics. Well done. Been a Tool fan for decades and I’ll be watching more of you after your thoughtfulness and pure enjoyment of everything. You’re very well spoken and that goes far.

You can never go wrong with anything from Tool. My favorite since I was in high school in the 90's. You have to check out his other projects. A Perfect Circle and Pucifer

I'm really enjoying your Tool reactions. 🤘🖤

you fuckin smart dude! it's all of those things. spiral out brother. tool fam loves you.🖤

Thank you so much for this.
