Does anyone else tear up when they hear music like this.

This group just has too many songs for me to pick one. I am fifty years old I blast this group in my car and I don't care what others think of me. TOOL for life!!!

I love how Adam always just stands there like a soldier, totally badass just let the music speak for itself.

The way he belts "I must keep reminding myself of this" just hits me so hard, I can't help but tear up

realising you dance the same as maynard when when you hear this song

I absolutely adore this song in its entirety, but the openning riff in particular is so haunting. Adam Jones is truely a master at what he does.

Maynard still always looks like he mastered the surfboard in a different dimension and just now shows off

MJK moves around the stage like one of Adam's claymation figures.

Probably the most underrated tool song.

I can't even articulate how deep in the feels this hits me.

This was just following 9/11, you can almost feel it in everyone's effort. Never heard this song live, one of the masterpieces. Although, at this point I just think every Tool song is better than every other Tool song.

The end of this song gives me shivers.

He is weeping in the voice. So much emotion. And Danny is Fantastic.

Good 'ol Danny just unleashed his inner god..

Badassed performance. All members of the band are firing on all cylinders

It's weird seeing Maynard wearing a tshirt during a show in 2001.

I was at this show! It was so damn good. When they played Third Eye and Maynard came out with the constellations on his body we all went nuts.

5/4 for the win!

This might be my favorite song of theirs live... It moves me...

The end of this song is pure euphoria.

This song is written probably thinking about Maynard James Keenan's mother Judith Marie, who suffered a stroke in 1976 that left her partially paralyzed and wheelchair-bound. She thought it was a test from God and thought that she would be rewarded for her faith. It's a play on words because it can also mean his mother being the patient of medical care. This song, more in general, is told from the perspective as someone who has struggled to deal with his mother's or loved one's declining health. No matter how close they are, I'm sure the situation weighed on him HEAVILY and made him want to just give up hope.. "if there were no loving embrace to see me through, I certainly would have walked away by now" meaning he is probably just tired of his mother suffering, and if she weren't so loving, he probably would have walked away. But, he remained patient and cared for his mother until the very end (10,000 days after her initial medical issue... get it?). This is the possible interpretation but there is much more. "If there were no desire to heal The damaged and broken met along This tedious path I've chosen here I certainly would've walked away by now. And I still may ... (sigh) ... I still may." You are close to someone you love who is struggling with health issues and you need to remain if there is still Hope to heal. When He sings "i must keep reminding myself of this" He repeats it a lot of times until his voice becomes a sigh, this is fucking painful, you can feel the despair in his voice, this is a brilliant way to add meaning to the words. I feel this song is very sad. His voice is full of drama and pain. He sings like having tears in his throat, like a suffocated cry, never heard so much pain, He seems like a bird in a cage struggling to Fly away like a vocal coach once said. It has a development, in music, very strong. The beginning is pretty dark, the bass riffing is very obscure and his chant is so melancholic ... then the guitar solos after the bridge are mindblowingly heavy , same for the ending part and then again is darkness. It is a portrait of a very inner painful state of mind.

I was there !! Just after 9-11, senior in high school. Nuts

A visionary amongst men, the most influential rock bands in the history of music.

MOST critics have this song ranked very close to the bottom amongst Tools catalog. I think they haven't heard it through loud enough because this song is a top 10 for me for sure, so fuxking good.

When's the next Tool album coming out? Me: Gonna waiiit it ouuuuttt

Not just my favorite tool song which is saying alot but my favorite song. This song gets me pumped up and emotional at the same time plus it really hits home

Wow *_*... amazing. It's unbelievable what this four piece rock band can do

Wow, I was at this show. Outside venue with a large roof over the stage and seats. I had lawn seats. No roof. It was rainy, but I think it added to the atmosphere of the music. One of 3 times I've seen them. Thanks

this is the most sentimental song, sometimes i cried while listening to this

i love how maynard is able to present that he is so effortlessly providing some of the best vocals i’ve heard ever.

my mom passed about 2 months ago from a stroke that left her completely paralyzed and mute. i had listened to tool before but not too in depth. only knew popular songs like ‘46 and 2’ and ‘the pot’. but influence from others has made me dig deeper into their discography. this song perfectly explain how i feel. i am so glad i found this band.

My favorite song from tool of all time .

The best rythm section in the biz

I cry every time. Maynard has that power. He makes me emotional.

These guys could have stepped out of a time machine in all of the galaxies and just played to audiences in awe. Sheer genius simplicity with huge meanings behind everything that they do. Tool - timeless.....

6:04-6:22 mind blowing bass harmony

Went to their Fear Inoculum Tour in Nampa,Idaho, on January 13th 2022, First EVER TOOL CONCERT, best concert ever, heard this song live, it was amazing. And incredibly loud due to be VERY close seats to them as well! But was worth it! Even got the official art concert poster for that show! It’s beautiful! 😮‍💨 for 23 years old, that’s a night to remember! I feel old now…

Ladies and Gentalmen, Danny Octopus Arms Carey! Making the impossible look easy. A force on the kit with no equal nor master.

How has no one mentioned this concert was held *10 days* after 9/11. The emotions were elevated to a point never seen before. It makes this performance that more exhilarating to listen to.

only maynard james keenan is majestic enough to sound better in live performances. He puts us in a trance because he goes into a trance. I watched him perform "The Noose" live on Halloween night in San Antonio. He fell on his knees and was swaying hypnotic like ...there was so much emotion ....RAW emotion...it was unbeleivable...quite literally.

I can hit repeat over and over 👊👍 tool rocks

I must keep reminding myself of this

Bruh this was a year before I was even born. Now I feel old, can’t imagine how some of you feel.

timeless...

No one mentions Chancellor? I am surprised, Badass bass Player, so fucking talented

One of the most underrated song from tool

Adam jones is the most underrated guitarist metal

Danny is so incredible!

SUCH A DRUMMER!!!!!!!

Fantastic performance

Unbelievable and I'm 71! The best since hendrix

My friends keep trying to convince me about the fear inoculum album. I can't get into it like this. This sounds effortless and amazing!

Best Tool song to my mind...not that such a thing exists

Minute 5.57 his voice is glorious

This makes me wanna cry it’s so beautiful If I go to a show (hopefully) and they play this song Im technically dead

I return to this every few weeks. Amazing cover.

“But I’m still right here… giving blood keeping faith and I’m still right here”

I feel identified with the crowd at the end and I didn't even went to the concert. Tool is just with King Crimson the greatest bands I ever heard.

I’m learning this song on guitar as Adam Jones is my inspiration, but, like most Tool songs, there’s a lot to it. So I’m being patient, and learning it one section at a time.

Probably my fave Tool song. Not sure why, but listening to it one morning going to the doctor back in "06 just really made me luv it ever since. Just so good!

I love his silhouette

Still to this day i get chills listening to this song, whether its live or the studio version!!!

I went to the tool concert last people and co workers were asking what kind of music it is. Very hard to explain lol psychedelic, rock, progressive. Its tool what else can you say lol

I must keep reminding myself of this 😢🖤

Wow when Lateralus was BRAND new, 20 years ago! 2 decades! They were only in their 30s - insane! In fact Justin was only 29. A W E S O M E! most underrated of ALL Tool songs too!!!

Great quality 👌

And then he has A Perfect Circle. Maynard at 40 was a beast.

Back when it was the Tweeter Center. To believe I was just 15 miles away and missed this...

And I still may...

4:44 - 4:52 MONSTROUS. Adam "cold-blooded" Jones

they are increasingly incredible

Every song is a master piece there the best at there craft .every instrument sounds perfect an tuned .I have never heard drums so perfect like Carey's

True dedication.

This song is so good 💪 and still so underated.

Thank youTOOL.

Greatest. Band. On. The. Planet.

This is the most beautiful live i’ve ever seen-heard ❤️

Damn this is a hot track.

This song is easily the peak of this band

One of the lucky people who saw it played in concert in 2020.....

“The damaged and broken met along” Thank you for “shortening the road”. I think I can make it before the train leaves. 🙏🙌😊

Maynard fucking amazing!!!

Just Perfect

His groans of tedium escaping in the beginning of this amazing voyage. Thank you all for another journey.

It’s like looking back in time. The only time I got to see them was on that tour in August of 2001 in Pensacola.

I was front row at this show

But I’m still.. right here. Giving blood, keeping faith.

Danny Danny Danny Danny

My first TOOL concert!! Now I’ve got 17 under my belt

i thought greatwoods was gonna implode that night/ that place was literally shaking from the power that is tool

Perfection ❤

my training song "I must keep reminding myself of this"

I get chills every single time I hear this song. So much emotion. That crescendo @06:25 is simply beautiful, bittersweet and tragic all at once.

Great band, they never disappoint. The new stuff was worth the wait. Wish more bands like this existed instead of this imagine dragons pop rock that's being released now.

A groan of tedium escapes me Startling the fearful Is this a test? It has to be Otherwise I can't go on Draining patience Drain vitality This paranoid, paralyzed vampire act's a little old But I'm still right here Giving blood, keeping faith And I'm still right here But I'm still right here Giving blood, keeping faith And I'm still right here Wait it out Gonna wait it out Be patient If there were no rewards to reap No loving embrace to see me through This tedious path I've chosen here I certainly would've walked away By now Gonna wait it out If there were no desire to heal The damaged and broken met along This tedious path I've chosen here I certainly would've walked away By now And I still may I still may Be patient Be patient Be patient I must keep reminding myself of this I must keep reminding myself of this I must keep reminding myself of this I must keep reminding myself of this If there were no rewards to reap No loving embrace to see me through This tedious path I've chosen here I certainly would've walked away By now And I still may And I still may And I still may And I... Gonna wait it out Gonna wait it out Wait it out Gonna wait it out

To me this is one of the best composition, some of the best vocals, drums, guitars and bass lines in an orchestra like matter growing until the climax double vocal line

"Must be patient"

When I first got lateralus in 2000 or 2001 Whenever it came out. The Patient was the first standout track I heard. Followed by most of the songs that followed this one.

great one father

So fucking badass.
