Many bands do not have their mixer dude pay attention to what it sounds like in the headphones... they listen to the music, they balance it for sitting in the studio. But only a really good mixer puts on those headphones and gives you that experience where maynard is singing right over your left shoulder and the drums rotate all the way around your head. That's a special attention to detail that not many bands, mixer dudes do.

@@crystalscolza1663 absolutely! I wish more bands did this sort of thing to be honest. I've only come across a hand full of them and even then its more math metal/finger tapping sort of style. Nothing like what Tool's mixer has proven themselves capable of.

yes. the best song in the universe...

@@shipirategirl7070 tool, puscifer and a perfect circle . all you need ...

I concur 100

Haha yeah I wasn't successful of that at all

Good luck with that:)

@@kkichgo please keep the lyrics analysis. I honestly love that. Yes. Some tool fans are tough and want 100% from everyone, but tool is to be shared.

😂😂😂💯🤘

Quote of the century! This should be applied to every aspect of life...

He must be kidding was my first thought

Bro I was like oh good Lord. Now what?🤦🏻‍♂️ Lol

It got me and I'm not even that big of a Tool fan

Is it bad that I thought he was done because he couldn’t handle all the awesome?

Got me

True story..

Audio DMT

Jesus has it really been twenty years already???

It’s been almost 30 years for me, 7th grade Undertow……and I still get chills, elevated pulse and just as hyped as I was the first time I heard any of their songs. Those of us that know….know….but there’s so many that are missing out on some of the best music and art this world has ever known.

@@dougrippe33 Dude has 3 bands and even that may not be enough to encompass his genius 😄🙏

So weirdly satisfying. Always interesting to hear the thoughts they inspire. 😉👍🍺

Hits everyone I know differently. Haven’t really argued over too many artists outside of Rap in those regards. But, Tool is certainly one of them ones that can keep a back and forth debate going.

Easily one of my favorite things to watch on youtube!

@@nolangibson1378 Same.....😁👍👍🤘🤘🍺🥃

He has been warned.

You got the wrong take-away from it. The song is encouraging over-thinking and over-analysing, give it another listen with that perspective in mind, it's trying to tell you its good for you!

Are you certain about that portrayal of it being a bad thing? I think it's left up to interpretation and depending on listener the song could be actually telling you to over analyze and never stop questioning anything or else you get caught in that spiral and recycled by the machine....... just a thought

It literally says “withering my intuition, leaving opportunities behind” so yes, we’re sure. Withering your intuition does not sound like a positive side affect of overanalysis

@@ThunderBasketball22 no you're sure that's what it says to you. Some would say letting go of those mortal opportunities and the bounds of ones intuitions within this earthly prison which is our physical construct that guides our perception of reality from it's pinned down vantage point is a very good thing. Early preparation for the endless vortex of experience of which we have closed our means of perception in our egotistical embrace of ones self long ago...I once heard Michael Tellenger one refer to us as a species with amnesia...... I sometimes wonder just how close to truth that actually is ... Maybe sir, Your obtuse perception of your self sovereignty is blinding you to hearing this song the way others might and if I know the personality of Maynard just a little I know 100 percent that is exactly some shit he would pull to fuck with Tool fans out there because he can..... Face it bro the only people who could be right about what is really being said here are those who wrote it and whatever it says to you is exactly what they meant it to be

And what does he say directly after that line "withering my intuition leaving opportunities behind"? Continuing thus"And I must feed my will to feel this moment drawing way outside the lines. Reaching out to embrace the random reaching out to embrace whatever May come".. you know when your intuitions are withered and those mortal "delusions" or opportunities are behind you? that seems like anticipation, excitement, fulfillment, enjoyment and even encouragement to embrace this letting go and rise to higher consciousness, wouldn't you say? Or is that just absolutely NOT what Maynard and/or other authors of these words had in mind whatsoever???? No one's interpretation is right and at the same time everyone's is that's exactly what music is meant to do, take you for a journey through your feelings thoughts and emotions driven by the operator(experiencer) themselves.......

You can’t be ready for Rosetta Stoned without hearing Lost Keys first!...But no one is ever “ready” for a virgin listening of Rosetta Stoned. 🤯🤯🤯

Yes!

I’ve heard it a thousand times and I’m still never ready. Forever touching my soul like every other Tool song!

Descending is the best.

It's funny, it's never been just white people's music. The origin of rock is blues. It's always been for everyone. All music has always been for everyone. But I feel you on what you're saying.

fibonacci sequence is super interesting to learn about especially applied to music.

Maynard himself thinks it’s forced but sure “brilliant”

Forced maybe, by the spiral itself, the universe, or purely life/existence. That's everything existence/ life is everything (as below so above) and that instinctual will to exist is the driving force, I.E. the function of the system. The vortex of energy is the visual guide you see in nature and mathmatics in the fibiancci spiral everywhere. I believe the message here is that outside and all around the spiral of energy that is our individual lifespans there is so much more going on unavailable to our limited human perception and every one of us should take out time in your lives to allow our minds to step outside this physical dimensional shell and pan out to perceive this wonder for what it actually is; One continuous fluid of energy in motion(emotion) with numerous beginnings and absolutely no end showing us such an unbelievable portrayal of organization and beauty unmatched by anything whatsover.(organized chaos, balancing the unbalanceable, yin and yang connected and dancing in perfect harmony) So let the details go else you get lost in following the lines and end up missing the meaning of life, the true detail and never really appreciate this gift we all have been given. Enjoy the moment everyone its all that truly matters. Don't let negativity ruin your experience for a second.... you may end up regretting it....... OH, and SPIRAL OUT MY FRIENDS

The lyrics r also in a Fibonacci sequence

The greatest of allll times!! Haha thank you so much for checking in me, I love Ali! Have a great one!

H is one of the best songs

H is a deep cut Also Salival push it is like a whole therapy session

They are the first shades/colors you see after you are born.

Thank you so much, I really enjoyed that on a deep level

Thank you :)

I mean it got crazy! Haha in a good way

Yes, my first Tool love!

I would suggest not the original video is so wierd most ppl notice the video not the song

@@tellisnavy25 True. I always recommend skipping the official Tool music videos on the first listen. They're so weird and distracting.

Blessings always my friend! Glad I could help

Amazing.

Heard that explanation from stans so often it reminds me how pointlessly pretentious it is and has turned me off to both Maynard and Tool, as overblown and monotonous. They have extremely listenable songs, but very far from the holy aura so many put into them. Best part of that band is the fabulous drummer!!!

Thank you! Will do!

I got hit so hard lol, I loved it though

@@kkichgo The fact that ten minutes of music and words can have that effect on someone is profoundly impressive ☺️ This song is my favourite song - and I mean ever! I've listened to it hundreds of times, and it never fails to move me deeply.

Yay! An H. request!

I'll definitely hit that next then!!

@@kkichgo it’s all the rage right now.

Yeah this guy is right. Throw Pushit live in there and you have a tool album in itself.

I would do it in this order PATIENT SCHISM RIGHT IN TWO INVINCIBLE PUSHIT

Thanks I know!!!

Man it hit me super deep! 🙏🏽

I hope you enjoyed it!!

@@kkichgo loved it! Subscribed! Try parabol and parabola… back to back 😎🤙🏻

I hadn't heard of that word before, thank you so much for that compliment 🙏🏽

Haha had to getchs

Now that comment just made my day! Thank you for saying this, it's fuel for sure! Appreciate you and I will remember this

@@kkichgo right on man. See? That’s what I’m talking about right there.

Appreciate you thank you so mcuh

Love these three.

I agree, must do them together. Prob my favorite section of the album

Much love always Brian haha I was literally about to be done with them because of how deep it was, but they pulled me back into the spiral 🤣

@@kkichgo its hard to listen to true stuff sometimes, tool really is about truth ,just like rage against the machine, and system of the down.

Thank you so much, I appreciate you viewing the channel!

Thank you so much Jamie! Haha appreciate you

Thank you big time Russell, truly appreciated

Thank you so much!
