The craziest thing about Tool is that I will walk away from it for a few months, and then come back when I need it in my life. Tool's music literally helps me through hard times. Not trying to sound weird, but it helps me really focus on what's important to me.

Doesn't matter how rough it gets or how down you feel. You put this song on, and you'll feel at ease if only for 5 minutes. So many people could use 5 minutes

This song on a full moon night after a fresh rain. Man...

I had a very spiritual experience with this song. I used to be bullied and very shy at school. Then I changed a lot and grew to be super happy with myself and my life. One day i was listening to this song on repeat and went by my old school at night. Then I want to the park which is 3 min away and sat on a big hill with a large view of the city. This song was in my headphones and the experience was beyond words. Just sitting, being at peace with the past, looking into the future that i will create for myself with confidence, looking into the city with all the lights of all the people living there, thankful for TOOL´s amazing art.

So crazy Tool fans can communicate on KZfaq now. Before you'd be pleasantly surprised to see a guy with a tool profile picture

This maybe one of the most beautiful songs ever written

Proof that you can build a powerful melody with just a few notes and that bass can be an extremely powerful instrument

The Most underrated song ever.

Listening to the album in order, after letting go my grudges, struggling with my patience, repairing my communication, recognizing my own eternity, ridding myself of all the leeches after they've taken all I can give, and finally beginning to embrace the random, the intro of this song begins and simultaneously heals and evokes. It might not be your interpretation but it's mine and it's helping. I love this music so much.

Depression, I will get rid of you. Every time this song connects with my heart I am able to move forward. Delicate touch right in the soul.

I know a lot of tool fans will say that you can't hear this one without reflection and triad, but I'm good on just disposition tbh. This is one of the most beautiful melodies I've ever heard.

I realised this song is about being present with environment around you and not being stuck in thoughts that are holding you down

This song reminds of my father. I lost him because of a cancer. It's crazy how this song is both sad and full of hope

This album isn't just "an album", it's an experience. The more you listen to it the more you ascend.

I am sitting on my balcony, during a tornado watch, drinking my coffee, enjoying the essence. This beautiful art, along with the rawness of mother nature has me almost on my knees. This song is a beautiful creation

I live on a sailboat and I'm just sitting with my headphones watching the water. Amazing. Never twice will you ever look at a bay and see the same ripple pattern. Every second shifts.

I got the lyrics to this song tattooed on my arm about 7 years ago. I got it with a tree that has all four seasons on the branches. It starts with spring on the left side and ending with winter on the right side. There is a boy sitting on the left side of the tree looking up towards the stars and his older self on the right side also looking up. I have the moon and sun tattoo together with the starts overhead. The lyrics "watch the weather change" are directly over the tree, "mention something mention anything" to me is where the boy is and "mention this to me" is next to the older man. The sun/moon and stars are all around to complete my forearm tattoo; from the elbow down to my wrist. I first listen to this song on acid and I continued to listen to this song since then that was almost 10 years ago. For me, listening to this song at a California beach watching the sunset has given me eternal hope in my life. I always took this song as metaphor for time and that time waits for no one. The four seasons come and go, people come and go, and our mind/body grows old. It is to live in the moment because the time we have now is the only time we will have this experience; right here right now. That younger child is still talking to me and with me since I have grown up. I promise I will not let him down. #toolarmy

Finally, after all these years. Finally saw them live in Charleston. Thanks to my son surprising me with tickets for my 51st birthday. Several tracks from 10,000 days helped me navigate my grief process after the loss of my oldest daughter, Marlaina.

fresh listener here tool is a fullblast universal power

This song has saved my life on Numerous occasions.. I'm listening with tears rolling down my face, just not wanting to go on .. I'm a broken individual.. the love for my daughter's outweighs the hate I have for life, so I'll get through it again. Daddy loves you Keirsten and Mackenzie ❤️❤️

Listening to this early in the morning while going for a bike ride is amazing.

The Indian percussion instruments add a sense of calmness and radiance to this song. I absolutely love it! There aren't too many bands that experiment with the instrumentation in their music like TOOL does. Beautiful!

There needs to be a 24 hour version of this song..

This is such an underrated track. You can feel the heart that went into every note

This song always brings me to tears. My interpretation of the lyrics and simplicity of the instrumental is that nothing can stay - everything is constantly changing. You must let go of all your desires, all ego, all circumstances, all attachments and accept that they, too, will pass over with everything. It makes you feel small and meaningless, hence “mention anything,” the smallest thing can have meaning but also have little significance in the grand scheme of things. But even those small, insignificant things that are subject to change, are just as spiritually beautiful and precious as the next.

At the end of this song I always feel like going deep into Reflection.

Reading a comment here on someone that had a spiritual experience with this song brought me back to a time in my life i struggle to leave behind... in 1998 i met someone that became a very special person in my life. He played the bass very nicely and was part of a band that was still in the making.... his favorite music band was Tool, back then it was news to me... but we definitely clicked and Tool became a very intimate part of our relationship as close friends. We used to speak on the phone for HOURS at a time... all night and through the first hours of the morning, every single day. In one of the last occasions we did that, he had gotten discharged from the hospital for like the 5th time, with a very high fever as a symptom of septicemia (bacteria in the bloodstream) very serious life threatening illness. Getting discharged form a hospital with an illness of that magnitude, its something that only happens in a country like the one i come from... In one moment of our conversation, he was agonizing with the fever, and he told me to get a pen and write down some lyrics for a song that he was about to tell me... He actually gave me the lyrics to this song but in Spanish which is our primary language... He died a few weeks later in the hospital. Almost three years after his passing i went to his house and asked his grandmother to allow me to sleep over with his pillow... I played the whole album (Lateralus that had just come out) for him to listen to (wherever he might be) and this particular song ended up in REPEAT all night long as my tears drenched his pillow. I know that before passing on, the spirit does visit certain places and people that somehow had meaning in their lives. I wonder if this song was probably being written at that time and he somehow had the chance to listen to it before it even came out.... I guess it was his way of keeping his memory alive in me three years down the line. I didnt even notice the fact until that night i was laying with his pillow that the lyrics to this song were the very words he had asked me write down 3 years prior while agonizing with a terribly high fever... Yeah, definitely a very spiritual experience....😌

I get such huge chills when those first few notes come in. It's like a return to home, in spite of all the life and wildness going on outside of my headphones. A clean breath of spirit, timeless. Now I gotta poop.

My soul is addicted to this rhythm.

I’d always thought of this track as filler and sort of skipped over it but I’m realizing it’s a hidden gem. It conjures a feeling and emotion like no other Tool melody does. I don’t play bass but the melody is simple and I created my own arrangement on acoustic guitar. It’s just a few notes but they come together in such a beautiful and spiritual way I could just play and sing this for hours.

I can't describe how much I love this song

Disposition and Reflection is one of the best one-two punches in rock/metal history.

Hope there’s at least something similar to this on the new album. This song makes me feel emotions I don’t feel anywhere else.

This entire song is made up of 9 words and I love it

Only true Tool fans will agree this is a masterpiece very well put together, between the music, and and the softer voice of Marynard ,this song is sick af.....

i suppose Tool won't ever use Internet Explorer to upload stuff again

The album made my military experience alot better . I slept listening to it countless times while in Iraq . Takes me right back to to that gp medium tent and the sound of incoming mortars .... Great fuckin album . Great fuckin band . They've influenced my life more than any other group . Forever a fan

The only song that has ever made me cry

This always makes me feel so calm inside. I suffer from anxiety in a way my hands shake and neurologists can't physiologically understand it. But this song helps me feel so better, like a warm embrace. I'm caught remembering beautiful moments with my girlfriend and her smile, how much I value every moment with her, how she can paint my skies blue with a smile. One of my favorite songs of all times.

Ever had a song you play first thing in the morning? This is one of those songs.

I wish there were more Tool "ballad" songs like this one

Being a Deftones fan, I'd been searching for a band that would have a similar vibe to their music. That sophisticated, dreamy and spacy sound. I'm so glad I've found what I'd been looking for.

The percussion transition into Reflection at the end should be required listening in school music classes. Danny is a drum god.

LYRICS: Mention this to me Mention this to me And watch the weather change Watch the weather change Watch the weather change Watch the weather change Mention this to me Mention something, mention anything Mention this to me Watch the weather change Watch the weather change Watch the weather change Watch the weather change Watch the weather change Watch the weather change Mention this to me Mention something, mention anything Mention this to me Watch the weather Watch the weather change Watch the weather change (Watch the weather)

This album man.... it just fits my life so well. Or maybe my life fits it. What a band

Absolutely sublime. I often fall asleep listening to this one because it’s just so damned relaxing

Peaceful. Calm. Powerful. Tool is genius.

Its really cool to look at the artist randomly and think "ohh damn this is actually uploaded by tool". Awesome!!

My first DMT experience I've ever had was to this song. Everything was complete bliss and I had became so much more . But as the song ended the DMT was ending as well.. the drums at the end set me back down to earth gently like a feather floating to the ground. Truly the best song tool has ever made

This melody/song/lyrics. Brings a lot of feelings and emotions out of me. who else feels this. almost a soothing calmness, but also some sort of memory or past feelings

As long as he behaves on TV and he comes up with a list of things that have to change that everybody can relate to he can’t lose

I remember listening to this song, watching the weather change from a vantage point overseeing the city. A poetic moment in a symbolic turning point in my life. And a massive hangover.

this album makes me see the world with new eyes... i'm having a really hard time this year, my self destructive habits are taking me over just like the pessimistic thoughts.. not to mention that we're living at a harsh time of human history but every single time i stop to listen to lateralus, all this pain trying to kill me from the inside seems meaningless, pointless and too small lateralus makes me see the spirit of living and loving beating in every heart, in every molecule at the same time in nature.. i can't thank tool enough for bringing me this album, i can really tell that this is and will continue saving my life ♡

This really is a song you just feel, you sense it more with your whole body than just ears and mind

This is spiritual delight ❤

When I hear this song, I can't help but think of an endless and clear-blue sea.

That time when Maynard was on so much acid he thought he was an air conditioner.

Another Saturday night with the headphones on listening to the Disposition/Reflection/Triad trio . Retirement is good if you have good music that relates to where you have been. Life is good

The first time I listened to this it started to snow.

Never listened to much Tool until recently but this song caught my attention, such a beautiful song. Im also a huge Incubus fan and this kinda gives me Brandon Boyd vocal resemblance in this song, truly beautiful.

I either listen to this song or 10,000 days when theres a storm. Makes me feel protected

The way the bass sustains its note when the voice says "mention this to mmme"

This song hits the spot

Takes me back to summer of 2009 when my friend would come over and play Age of Empires 2 on LAN while we listened to music. Hard to believe irs been 10 years.

Only TOOL can put literally two sentences in a song and still sound like a philosophical revalation. Those guys are the only one of their kind. Watch the weather change...

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ Still one of my favorites off of lateralus. Great job on the new album, boys. Thanks for always producing such phenomenal music for all of these years. 🤘🤘♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Only once in this planet's lifetime did a group of people find each other and get together with the same like-minded sense of Music creativity and establish something as beautiful as this.

Anyone who has depression knows about those 'clear' moments, where the symptoms all seem to fade away for all of a couple minutes, and you just get out of your head and look around at the environment in a mixture of confusion, realization and short-lived content. Simultaneously one of the most beautiful and tragic aspects of mental illness, it's something that happens randomly and is basically impossible to intentionally 'cause' to happen, but this song can trigger it for me somewhat regularly. Early morning, pink sky as the sun peeks through in the distance, illuminating the clouds. Only soul you see driving down a road, which is shining from a recent rain shower, though you can't see any dark rainclouds. Maynard is singing about the weather changing, time progressing, nature and mind healing, and you can see and feel exactly what the lyrics are painting in that moment. Fuck, I think I'm having one of those moments...

Tool>Life

Such a significant song in my life. I cannot but weep when I hear it

im so glad to have a tool uncle. if he didn't play they're songs i won't listen to this masterpiece

First and only time I saw Tool was in Oklahoma City 2002. They did the trio of "Disposition", "Reflection", and "Triad" right before ending the show with a short tease of "Wings For Mary" and then "Lateralus" to close. Such an amazing gig. Regarded as one of the best Tool live shows ever. The entire thing is here on KZfaq also!

I like the "Watch the weather change" part

What a great song, makes you look deeper into yourself. I feel lately it’s what everyone needs today and step off this crazy ride we’re on for a minute. This band is a gift, and this album has been able to put me in a good positive headspace

Used to listen to this song at the end of every trip. Watching the sky.. Like a ritual.

Have never been disappointed at a concert sound same live as recorded that takes true talent

I remember when the first lockdown happened and you weren’t allowed to see anyone. I went through a shitty heartbreak in the summer and it hurt worse cause I couldn’t see anyone to help. I remember walking on my own everyday sun shining listening to this,made me feel so uncertain about what was going to happen like the whole world was going to end and everyone was going to die. I know that’s a bit extreme but that’s how I felt. Coming back to it just shows how much more shit has happened since then to now.

Drugs? Nah..this song is all I need.

I was 16 when I listened to this song for the first time. I was in a place where I used to go after school, an ancient pool in Tuscany, in my hometown. I will always remember that pathos!

2019, nothing has changed facing the dark spirituality of this song. Just, finally, another Tool album :)

Watch the weather change

This song makes me want to cry in a good way. It makes me feel very nostalgic and it makes me think about alot of good memories in my life since ive been listening to this album. Got this album when i was 16 and still love it just as much as i did when they released it.

This is really one of tools best songs where it takes you when you just relax on your bed with your eyes closed listening to this is surreal I can't really explain it but see to me it's all one song even tho it's three songs of the holy Trinity that flow together in one of the most amazing pieces of music ever written..I think the greats like Beethoven, Chopin ,Mozart,Bach etc would all be damn impressed and proud of these boys for their representation of that level of musical talent and expertise. Danny is especially amazing on these 3 songs . It's the best of tool the holy Trinity 💯

Does anyone else feel their soul being echoed through these strings of notes and lyrics? Like it's not just music but he's singing to my shadow..my subconscious.. my soul..

Cannot explain feelings that attend me during listening to this song, its something beetwen sadness and hopefulness. First few notes make me weep every single time, absolutely staggering inner experience...

This song has been with me for nearly 2 decades. A steady reminder everything in life is seasonal. It comes and it goes. Most things in life are out of my control. Very powerful song off of a very powerful album

I forgot this track was from Lateralus I thought it was from 10,000 days! Love this song brings back so much nostalgia!

This song is so spiritually on an another level literary I feel peace with this song and other tool songs as well Maynard is a God at his work lateraus man.....the fibonacci sequence dope af

I proposed to my partner to this just a couple of weeks ago, whilst we were chilling with Lateralus. He said yes.

I wake up every morning with this beautiful piece of art. Such a great feeling. Love and peace! 🇦🇷

Most underrated one-trick pony ever.

this is the song i listened to on the way to my current girlfriends house for the first time, it was such a out of body experience, i was pushed out of my comfort zone but it made me better for who i am, now in love and wanting nothing more than to be bonded with this one person forever, this song will always have a special place in my heart.

I first opened my inner eye to this in 2010 when I was homeless on a hill. Forgot how things where and let my inner guide me. Amazing experience. Need to feel it again right now

The only tool song featuring an acoustic guitar.

I used to lay in my room on a bad day and just let this play.

Hypnotic and powerful, great harmonics

I like to think that if I walk down the street and someone says "mention this to me" I will know that we understand each other, that we are part of something bigger...

Guys I've been going through lots of stress and anxiety lately, I needed to vent when all of a sudden I played a "Tool Radio" playlist on Google Music and this was the first song that played...wow, I feel so much better now...

This and Parabola were the first two Tool songs I ever heard. That was almost 20 years ago. Needless to say I'm still a fan 😎

As the members of Tool age it be interesting if they release a meditative album with songs like this.
