Dominika I think you nail your thoughts and feelings relative to tool right on the head. You often apologize for your attempts to convey what you think and feel, and you shouldn't. You're smart and you interpret it well. Tool, in my opinion, is the best band/music at conveying all the elements of being human into song. Their music is an experience. You both get it. Love your reactions!

At any given day one Tool song or another may be my favorite. But after 30 years of Tool I cant help but feel this is their magnum opus. The complexity, the lyrics, the sound, the message, the metaphors. They all speak to me about existence and the journey. They've traced the spiral of our existence and conveyed it with sonic beauty.

You both have graduated to a different Tool level. I've watched every one of your Tool reactions and each one, you both gain something. But Lateralus is very much a keystone song in the journey. Tapping into the deep current of spirituality that drives this song (and entire Lateralus album) is often a defining moment for Tool fans. Both of your reactions to it seems like you got there.

Thank you for this very good reaction once again. As always, it is such a pleasure to listen to your feelings and comments about these great tracks. :) And one more tidbit of useless info regarding this song, staright from Wikipedia: The time signatures of the chorus of the song change from 9/8 to 8/8 to 7/8; as drummer Danny Carey says, "It was originally titled 9-8-7. For the time signatures. Then it turned out that 987 was the 16th number of the Fibonacci sequence. So that was cool." :D

Tool is both me and my husband's favorite band, so we have to incorporate them how we can; they are a big part of our lives❤

I only discovered TOOL a few years ago. Seen them live twice. Love Maynard's other bands. But THIS SONG is the single-most inspirational song I have ever heard in my entire life! You will keep coming back to it over and over. As noted in the lyric video, the syllables of the verses are all counted in the Fibonacci sequence. Very cool. The original title of the song was 987, which is the 13th number in the Fibonacci sequence. It was called that because the chorus is built from 3 measures in this order: 9/8, 8/8, 7/8. I believe Justin the bass player wanted to do a riff that was "curling in on itself." The "spiral" is talking about the Golden Ratio built with squares with sides the length of each step of the Fibonacci sequence and connecting their verteces makes an ever growing spiral. It's found all over nature -- seashells, plants, etc. Spiral out and go where no one's been!!!

I understand your feeling about Tool. I discovered them about four years ago, during the pandemic….i love the complex rhythms and the deep lyrics…..the imagination is incredible. BUT….I am in my 70’s and the energy made me anxious and “jangly”….so I have to take them in one or two song sips….As you get older, many of us can become anxious from frenetic music. I hate it, but that’s the reality of it. I think Tool is one of the best bands of the last 30 years, but I have to take in small doses.

Tool is a journey. Lateralus is built on the Fibonocci Sequence, which makes it extra special for us nerds. You can never go wrong with Tool. 😉 Edit: She is correct. There is no-one like Tool. I laid my back on the grass in Sacramento last October and soaked every song in. I had two wishes, that they played this or Pneuma. They played Pneuma. They opened with Jambi. It is truly a sublime experience.

Head vs heart. Reason vs the innate. Its a very profound song and makes me think how we miss much of the spectrum of ideas available to us because we reason it all away. So much opportunity lost because we choose the safe over the adventurous, the linear vs the random.

Context often helps. 'Push the Envelope' is definitely a term I know we use here in America. Not sure that it's used in the UK so here is the explanation of meaning. "To push the envelope means to surpass normal limits or attempt something viewed as radical or risky. It comes from the aeronautical use of envelope referring to performance limits that cannot be exceeded safely."
