'Jimmy' is the first song in the Judith story. About his feelings as an 11 year old when his mom was paralyzed and reconnecting with that child to deal with trauma, integrate and move through.

You know I never thought to put Judith in the middle of these two tunes due to how well they mesh together but I actually like this approach. Very unique, I love it.

I don’t know what it is, but after almost 30 years of listening to Tool, your videos give these songs so much more meaning to me. Not sure why. But that “10000 days in the fire is long enough, you’re going home” and “fetch me the spirit the son and the father, tell them their pillar of faith has ascended. It’s time now, my time now, give me my wings.” Always brings tears. Brutal

Rest in peace Marie, thank you for your Son. He has brought SUCH Greatness and Power to this World!!

I cried the whole time 😪 so many emotions in the lyrics and the music 🎶 masterpiece is a understatement !

It's ok, let's all cry together 😥

Tool is a gift from God! Thank you!! Trust me, you will be coming back to these songs your whole LIFE bro!

Many a tear has been shed listening to this masterpiece.

"high is the way but our eyes are upon the ground" was my senior quote. So powerful !

Listen. I'm a devout Christian. My husband passed unexpectedly in April, I understand everything in these 3 songs more than I ever have in my life. I enjoyed them before but I had never felt loss like that until now. Judith is my current emotional state. I've told him I've hated him (God) then begged him to forgive my anger. God loves a grieving widow. He does not fear her tears nor shudder when she doubts her faith in the darkness.

My mother passed away in 2005 from sleep apnea. She was 61 years old. This album and A perfect circle helped me grieve. I still struggle with faith everyday. Glad you get the chill bumps in the same areas of the songs.

I'm not crying, you're crying. 10000 days is not only my favorite Tool song, but my favorite song ever. I only let myself listen to it a few times a year because of how emotional it is, but it was great seeing the reaction with part one and Judith. A BIG surprise is that when you put Judith in the middle of part 1 and part two, and I didn't break anything. I would think that's blasphemy but I didn't mind it all. Great video!

Man, I tear up every single time after hearing these incredible masterpieces. Even having listened to them for the last 15 years they still draw that emotion. Absolute masters of the art of music.

Killer Saturn reference!! Saturn is mentioned in TOOL’s song “The Grudge” Perhaps when he mentions Let Go, he’s referring to the pain of losing his mother

If anybody actually wastes their time reading my long rant I apologize but these songs always hit really deep and getting things out in a weird way helps decompress feelings and emotions that are better off letting go of. Maynard’s penmanship on these songs are so powerful and deep and in my case hit home. God bless everyone and have a blessed holidays 🙏🏾

My mother was in a convalescent home with MS from the time I was 14 until a year ago, for over 20 years she was an invalid. These songs always get to me.

You becoming a legend in the reaction game brah. Keep it up.

After almost 30 years of listening to TOOL, my absolutely favorite band, it's YOUR reaction videos that have reminded me exactly why I fell in love with them in the 1st place. Thank you so very much for reopening my tired eyes.

Damn Sebs, not even a mention of Justin's genius in this tune. He literally carries it from start to finish! Knew you'd love it. Great reaction bro.

This gets me every time! At first I was like, oh no don’t put Judith in between these songs buttttttt I understand and didn’t mind it at all! Great job. So so many more to go! ❤️

Played 10,000 Days at my older sister's funeral, among other songs. She introduced me to Tool in 1992 and passed away in 2008. I've only seen Tool once, but it was during this tour and I got to see them perform this....amazing. I've got my tickets for February in Orlando. Spiral out my friend!

Every time I hear Maynard sing the lyrics about his saying, GIVE ME MY WINGS!!! It brings tears to my eyes cuz I cherish my mother wholeheartedly she was my Father and Mother due to my father passing away when I was 6 so this song hits me everytime...

I've been waiting for this one. Haven't watched yet but I know you're going to do it justice, Sebs

The noose by a perfect circle is absolutely beautiful. Super angelic and a tear jerker for me. Piano and percussion are so unique at the intro.

This is my favorite Tool song to watch reactions to! I’ve been bummed there hasn’t been a new one on KZfaq for a while. Thanks for this! I haven’t watched yet, but I hope you enjoyed it! ✌️❤️

Whew. I've been waiting and hoping you'd get around to this one. This is the only song in my long history of either playing or listening to music that without fail, gets me to weep a little. I equate this to my own mother. Her 89th birthday is coming in a few days. Two years ago we lost my dad suddenly. Both my parents were/are very devout christians and parents to 9 kids. They both walked the walk and led by example to us kids. This song resonates with me deeply. It appears that it moved you too.

I cannot wait til ya get to the Holy Trinity!! Disposition, Reflection and Triad

Seeing how you breakdown the lyrics. You need to hear Orestes the live version stone and echo. One of Maynards best vocals ever plus very interesting storyline 👍

You're strong. I ball everytime Iisten to Wings and 10,000 days. APC has never really resonated with me, but it's wonderful to see Tool resonate with you, also. May our eyes be toward the Light, and not on the ground.

Had the tissues ready to go before you started. 🙂 One of my favourite reactions (and my only hobby seems to be Tool reactions lately) so kudos, bro. Not gonna bother suggesting a particular song because they're all awesome and life-changing. Enjoying the ride with you, mate. 😀

“Judith” is easily my favorite APC song. Honestly I had been listening to Tool for years and heard this song many times years ago before I actually knew what it was about. Now it hits even harder. Other APC songs I very much enjoy are: “Pet” “The Noose” “The Package”

Biggest problem is breaking up the Wings. They flow together so nicely, it’s really one tune. 10,000 days resolves the first part.

What a amazing tribute to his mom. The ambiance the bass sets is magnificent.

Tool is the only band of this genre that can bring my emotions to the top and have them erupt like a volcano. They’re special. They’re more than music. 🤘

The one line I never understood was "daylight dims leaving cold florescent, difficult to see you in this light " until I watched my father pass away of lung cancer. Being there day and night you literally see day fade away and the florescent hospital lights are the only thing illuminating your loved one. Very cold feeling. He wasn't perfect but Needless to say this song means alot to me. I grieved to losing him but was happy the suffering ended. Sorry for the long comments, great reaction.

I’ve seen Tool 5 times and each time had plenty of “moments”. But experiencing Wings for Marie parts one and two in 2007 was the absolute pinnacle of any show I’ve ever been to. And it was an experience unlike anything else in my life. My aunt had just passed from a long battle with cancer and this song was my grief. Honestly, I was out of my body, and I was one with the crowd and music/band. Absolutely unreal.

Yeeeeeeep. This is a powerful one for sure. Great reaction as usual Seb

Your honesty in this is so nice to hear. 🙏🏻

That first bell gives me chills every time, it's a cue for the tears. Haven't been able to keep a dry eye through this one even one time and I've heard it A LOT. Beautiful.

This is Maynard giving us more than any other musician has given of themself.

Fun fact: Judith has the only expletive on the entire album in which he yells “fuck your god” which got it the parental advisory label Edit: there is a pastor and his son who react to this song that I feel you would throughly enjoy to hear their thoughts on

You should listen to Tool's actual song trinity of Disposition / Reflection / Triad.

I loved watching someone new discover all of this for the first time, with the understanding that it is brutal when you make the connections. It looks like it did for you what you needed it to do. Thanks for this react, it was hard to watch but easy to understand. Spiral out.

I absolutely love watching your reactions to these songs. It’s beautiful!

As mentioned throughout the comments check out “Jimmy” for Tool and also “Momma Sed” (live version) by Maynard’s 3rd band Puscifer. The live performance is more haunting/sobering than the studio version

Cannot wait for more Tool, Spiral out brother 🌀✝️

Awesome. Judith too as well huh?

Parts 1&2 make me tear up in about 5 different places... Such love and compassion, definitely a song I feel as much as hear. It's one of his other bands, but check out Agostina by Puscifer. A song written about the first time he saw his daughter. It's a gorgeous song, and as a parent fully sums up that feeling of meeting your child for the first time. Keep going man, your reactions are always spot on, you're taking a journey on that treadmill.

It has been great to watch you experience these songs for the first time and join you on this journey. Wings Pt. 1 and 2 has so much raw emotion and heart to them. I feel that this is truth being told to us, the listener. Maynard has been very open and honest about his distrust of the congregation. The acknowledgment of his mother’s faith and want for her to have eternal peace from her “10,000 days in the fire” hits home for many I think. I honestly tear up when I hear these songs, and they (among other tool songs) move me spiritually.

Nice, I do think it proceeds more in the order of Jimmy, Judith, Wings and 10,000 days. Love your Tool reactions though, I think many reaction channels have doubled down on doing Tool as they notice the following of the army produces views but you can tell off riff most don't really 'feel' it. You've been the closest in terms of how the music has always made me feel, the emotions it evokes and the need to grow and be better.

I'm so glad you listened to them!! These songs changed the way I viewed those I hold dear to me. I cried so hard the first time I listened to it. Maynard always has a way of finding that deep insecurity or fear and draw them to the surface, and in turn, changing the way we are from that moment forward. I'm not religious, but my mom is, and this song was a powerful way for me to find the connection with her.

AMAZING REACTION!!!!!! Special request: A Perfect Circle “ORESTES” LIVE at REDROCKS! It’s an unbelievably amazing performance and the song is all about Greek mythology and shows a different side of Maynard. Cheers from Texas!!

These songs have always resonated deeply with me....like I realte to them on a personal level with Maynard. My Mother died of cancer when I was 8yrs old, Dad died a few months before I was even born in a car accident. After Mom passed, I was thrust into the care of an Aunt and Uncle 5 states away from everything I knew. I felt all of this for years.

Dude, the actual order should be, jimmy, Judith then Wings for Marie parts 1 & 2. Jimmy being story of Maynard @ 11 directly after her episode he had to go stay with his father while his mother learned how to live life all over due to the condition she was left in. Judith is where his anger built thinking why would she stay faithful to her beliefs cause what's happened to her & why allowed to happen to her by the Devine. And 10000 days (wings 1 & 2) is him coming to realize her had stayed committed to her Faith anyway 'til the END. How much he loved her for doing that. Then how he had to give completely love her whether he liked it or not, her right to do. The strength for him to do all 3 living the process!! I admire & love his spirit and ability to put this out publicly is as special as as to it get!! Also to perform Wings live is unhuman. 1 day w/ this man & these guys who set deep in me to inspire + lead me with energy. I'm thankful.

I need to go hug my Mom after this one Bro!

Thank you. I've been suggesting these since your first Tool reaction. Watching your reaction during 10,000 days after ascension was spot on. I still have the same reaction and tears after 100s of listens.

I've been listening to this album for 15 years now. This song still makes me cry. Literally EVERY TIME.. Do yourself a favor and listen to this again with no interruption by yourself and immerse yourself. You will witness what true love is, true compassion, reverence and of course sorrow.

Called it…wouldn’t be able to stay on the treadmill during these. Beautiful reaction, Sebs. And thank you for embracing the dark side of belief. Not many do and…it’s been an outcasting and lonely road to figuring out my own spirituality. My mom died when I was 11 so all of these songs Maynard has done Re: being 11, the trauma, her death, etc. it’s all been an incredibly necessary part of my daily process of grief. Thanks again

I feel it EVERY time i listen to this song!!

I have been waiting a long time for this one. Thanks Seb. Great, as always. "Fetch me the spirit, the son, and the father. Tell them their pillar of faith has ascended..."

Beautiful tribute to his mom and inner look at the "real" Maynard. Thank you for your comments!!

Edit: First and foremost THANK YOU for sharing your journey with us through your reactions. It's amazing watching somebody who truly appreciates what Maynard and Tool are capable of doing through music alone. Watching you these past months or so has been the highlight of my year. It literally makes my day better when I see you have posted a TOOL reaction. So from the bottom of the TOOL ARMY's hearts THANK YOU. (now my original post) I have been waiting on this lineup for a over a month. The anger that Maynard has in Judith, compared to Wings for Marie, is just amazing. Their ability to tell a story through music is just incredible. I'm so glad you reacted to this today. I know I've said this on one of your reactions but this one actually brought me to tears today. I haven't listened to these songs in order in quite a few years. I couldn't imagine going through all of that, especially from a young age. Keep up the great reactions Sebs.

36 minutes of chills 🖤 These songs always break me a little inside.

At the end of this, and your reaction and analysis is so empathetic....I'm on board. 🙏

I love this song, and to see someone else reaction to it, makes me feel like the first time i heard it. My heart was beating so fast in the climax of the song, its just so beautiful, perfect lyrics, perfect music, perfect vocals, one of the most unique, complex and beautiful song ever. RIP Judith, thank you for reacting to this

Fastest ive ever clicked on a video in my entire life

This song is 1 of 5 favorites of mine. The honesty intertwined with the musicianship is so fucking refreshing. Saw them play this live, all the organic sounds is Maynard on the keyboard, was so rad seeing that. Love the reaction, love tool✌

You actually gave me a new perspective on all three of these songs, especially Judith. As a believer, I have struggled with balancing the guilt of being angry at God when horrific things happen to loved ones who are Christians. Your explanation that it is okay to work through these things in my relationship with Christ and feel this way is not something popular in the church community right now. Thank you thank you thank you. This is exactly what I needed to hear today.

Thank you for this unique experience Sebs🔥🌀

I wonder if doing Jimmy, then wings, then Judith, then 10,000 days would be good? Interesting take but was good as always, bro. Keep em coming

you MUST listen to Jimmy... as others have said. Wings 1 & 2 bring tears to my eyes every time. I dont know how you can know the meaning behind these songs and not feel something. Such an incredible work of art from start to finish.

Bro, I get the chills every time I hear 10,000 Days

Ive been here since your first dive into tool and waited for this vid. You're the first channel Ive seen that put Judith from Puscifer in there and it was exactly how I order it in my mind chronologically. perfect

I love you man. Have a great time on this journey.

I have to admit there was a time I could play Judith no stop at the gym, start to finish, 40 minute workout. I did that dozens of times. Just so inspirational and heart pounding.

If there's one song that deserves the title "epic" it's 10000 days. My lord 😮

23:15 if you don’t get chills from that, you’re not human

Just learned more depth, AGAIN! Thank you for your inputs! I always find profundity when studying Maynard's honest, profound and multi-level lyrics🔥🌀

Sebs, I feel like you and I could grab some coffee and chat for hours. I dig your understanding of spirituality and really appreciate your takes on the subject! I'm thoroughly enjoying your journey of discovery with TOOL.

Enjoying watching your Tool reactions bro..... APC & Puscifer I would imagine need to be your next port of calls for listening pleasure!

man everytime you pause and become. overwhelmed, i feel like im feeling what youre feeling. damn its hard even if i listened to this many times

I seen one of your live streams and a guy kept referring to you as Jimmy! Fallon lol but it reminded me you had reacted to Judith with Wings 1&2. That was the right way but the song Jimmy from Tool is the only other song & the prequel to the entire story of Maynard and his mother Judith! So it's a must if you want the entire experience!!!! Again your an amazing reactor! 👏 Tool Jimmy

Now that we have APC on the table, I would like to humbly request a reaction to their song "The Noose" -- one of their best songs and Josh Freese's drumming in it is one of my favorite grooves.

Every time, “give me my wings”, hits hard

YOU HAVE TO DO MORE APC!!! They are made up of many brilliant minds who create poetry with amazing sounds... Thirteenth Step is an entire album of gorgeousness!! And of course it helps us search our soul 🙈🙉🙊 APC Orestes is about having to let his mom go by taking her off life support... Just beautiful 🖤

A Perfect Circle - Orestes I’ve always believed Orestes is the song that belongs between Wings & 10,000 Days. Coming to terms with the final goodbye.

A Perfect Circle is basically Maynard and guitarist Billy Howerdell. The rest of the band has changed throughout the years.

A Perfect Circle's "THE DOOMED." It's about the BEATITUDES! 🤯🤞

Dude your reactions to this video were hard to watch for all the right reasons. It's a gut-wrenching song and I had the same reaction when I was listening to it for the first time. Took a while for me to just kick back and enjoy the music on this one but I eventually did. Almost anyone can relate to a lot of what Maynard writes, especially with how you interpret it. My mom is a devout Christian and wants nothing more than to see me baptized some day. However, my faith has always been on uneven ground but my spirituality has not. It's an uneasy feeling that many would never understand. Great reaction, dude.... Patiently waiting for what you have next.

Sebs, great reaction! I too consider myself more spiritual than religious but I have always liked a particular passage from the New Testament in the Bible. 1 Peter 4:12-13. I believe that trials in life can help us come to a better understanding of not only God and Christ, but also those around us. Keep up the great work!

This has been such an amazing ride with you. Please more TOOL. You get it bro. I love you

I feel closer to you after this. God bless you.

If you'd like, in Maynard's 3rd band Puscifer he has a song called Horizons in his Conditions of my Parole album. I believe it is also about his mother, but it's more on like after years after the passing, he still misses his mother. Very cool, different style of music but still very good. Awesome reaction video man, keep up the good work and much love to you and your loved ones. 🙏

I cry every time I hear the "give me my wings" lines

Now that you have these three out of the way, you need to check out the song Jimmy wich is a part of the theme of his mother, Jimmy is an extremely personal song to him

Everyone has a story and it's composed of many chapters. This is just one of Maynards. I also had a valid reason for 'hating God' and it took me a long time to figure out why that was and also why it was a waste of time and energy. That frustration had to go somewhere until I could figure out how to actually deal with it in a more positive and spiritual manner. Love your vids man, thank you.

Great job man. Its sad that people will alienate others with their ignorant words, like those who blamed his mother for what happened to her. While it’s obvious that our decisions have consequences, many of our trials, especially health challenges can’t be blamed on a lack of faith. I think this story in particular shows the opposite, that she was so strong she could endure it. What a powerful influence for Maynard.

Thank you! Just Thank you!

I'm christian, and this song breaks my heart. I don't consider this blasphemy, Maynard is just being totally honest which is something we all should strive for. The 'F your god' hurts me everytime I hear it, and yet... He's honest, you know... And if I were in his position, I'd probably say the same words. There's just so much raw honest emotion in this song.

What a great video. Really good reaction!
