Many of my co-workers did what I did and my friend Miguel did, which was to buy it the day it came out. I think we all perpetuated the idea that it was an album to buy on release. None of us were disappointed and we discussed the album for a month every time we noticed something else that we thought was amazing. What I remember is that none of us were put off by the experimental tracks the way the critics were.
I got it for Christmas that year. I never even knew it had come out. Tried acid for the first time on New Years Eve right after that and listened to it. I remember a balloon followed me up the stairs to my room and stopped at my feet. The acid was called Felix. Never see good acid anymore.
Tool performed at my college back in 1996. I remember being extremely excited, none of my friends were fans so I went alone... I met an exchange student that was there as well, she never heard of Tool but she was looking forward to good music. We watched the concert together. At the end, I remember being disappointed that they didn't perform Pushit, it was my favorite song. Anyway, the crowd was thinning out and everyone was leaving. I was going with the exchange student for some drinks when we hear the guitar. I turned around so fast and ran to the stage, holding the exchange students hand. Tool played Pushit and OmG it sounded like heaven. The exchange student was brought to tears... To end my story, me and the exchange student became very fast friends. After the semester we wrote letters and video chatted every day. We were best of friends. told each other everything. Her sister messaged me and told me she had fallen ill. my best friend passed away a few weeks later. that was 5 years ago. Tonight was the first time I could listen to Pushit and not cry. I smiled the whole time. Thanks so much Tool for the beautiful music and for introducing me to the best person I have ever known. ♡♡♡
I've seen Tool 13 times between 2001 and 2011....but I would have given anything to see them back in 1996 when this album first came out, it's by far my favorite album and I've seen some of the set lists from that era and I'm jealous..... I still have never seen H. live and I would have loved to see it
Hey I lost my best friend 3 years ago to suicide. I'm sorry, and I understand. I cant listen to Blackbird by Alter Bridge w/out getting emotional. Seeing Tool In 2 days. Woot!!!! When they play this I'll send the vibes your way!!🤘😀🤘Update: they played Pushit and it was incredible. The whole show was quadruple A+++!!!!!
When I was 17 I was in a horrible car accident. I lost mobility in my legs and one of my ear drums ruptured. Even though it hurt to listen, I played tool ever hour of the day. I genuinely believe this song healed me. I am now walking around town with my 3 children, feeling better than ever! THANK YOU TOOL
@@bull1085what does that have to do with anything? Should we presume youre an atheist who thinks youre intellectually superior because youre an atheist? Im just saying, thats the vibe you give off. Ive been both and havent changed my views on this so...why would that matter?
@@gbincrevanshaan4198A common belief in Christianity is the concept of fear mongering as a sign of love. It’s saddening to me, as it can lead to harm being done, and a cycle being created. You’re not wrong, I have a nasty habit of acting like I’m more intelligent than others, despite me trying to claim otherwise. I’ll work on that.
Here are the lyrics. Enjoy! ----------------------------------------------- Saw that gap again today, While you were begging me to stay. Take care not to make me enter, If I do we both may disappear. Know that I will choke until I swallow, Choke this infant here before me. What is this but my reflection? Who am I to judge or strike you down? But you're Pushin' and shoving me. Pushin' and shoving me Pushin' and shoving me Pushin' and shoving me Pushin' and shoving me. Pushin' and shoving me Pushin' and shoving me Pushin' and shoving me You still love me, still love me, Push it on me, push it on me. You still love me, still love me. Push it on me, push it on me. Rest your trigger on my finger, Bang my head upon the fault line. You better take care not to make me enter. 'Cause if I do we both may disappear. But you're Pushin' and shoving me. Pushin' and shoving me. Pushin' and shoving me. Pushin' and shoving me. You still love me, still love me, Push it on me, push it on me. You're pushin' it, shoving me. You're pushin' it, shoving me. I'm slipping back into the gap again. I'm alive when you're touching me, But not when you're shoving me down. But I'd trade it all For just a little piece of mind. Push it on me. Push it on me. Push it on me. Push it on me. Your Pushin' and shovin' and scramblin' To keep my feet flat on the ground I am somewhere I don't wanna be. Push me somewhere I don't wanna be. Put me somewhere I don't wanna be. Seeing someplace I don't wanna see. Never wanna see that place again. Saw that gap again today While you were begging me to stay. Managed to push myself away, And you, as well, my dear. If when I say I might fade like a sigh if I stay, You minimize my movement anyway, One must persuade you another way. Pushin', shovin', pushin', shovin, pushin me There's no love in fear. Staring down the hole again. Hands are on my back again. Survival is my only friend. Terrified of what may come. Remember I will always love you, As I claw your fucking throat away. There will be no other way, It will end no other way.
Probably the only band in history with a flawless discography. No bad albums. Not a single bad song. All the music they've created is an absolute masterpiece.
@@poocock331 I can get behind you there. But it's great for those days you don't want to take life too seriously. That's my favorite thing about Tool- they have a song for every spectrum of human life.
In every comment under the tool songs there are stories of life, accidents, death and life, fear, rebirth, alchemy... They aren't just a band, they're the soundtrack of life. they cannot be appreciated by those who are not even close to their level of depth. I wish everyone to be able to feel them with the same emotion that I feel, and beyond
@@robertcrabtree4843 depends who you ask my Surrogate parents would tell people Holy, my friends parents ahellion, my lover Mary Hellcat, historians think it's just superimposed letters until of each other kinda like how I was on your mother last night, some jokesters say it's Harold (Our father, who art in Heaven, Harold be thy name) but it's actually for Heroin because I'm an opiate for the masses let me just say this. .. What's coming through is alive What's holding up is a mirror But what's singing songs is a snake Looking to turn this piss to wine They're both totally void of hate But killing me just the same The snake behind me hisses What my damage could have been My blood before me begs me Open up my heart again And I feel this coming over like a storm again Considerately Venomous voice, tempts me Drains me, bleeds me Leaves me cracked and empty Drags me down like some sweet gravity The snake behind me hisses What my damage could have been My blood before me begs me Open up my heart again And I feel this coming over like a storm again And I feel this coming over like a storm again I am too connected to you to Slip away, to fade away Days away I still feel you Touching me, changing me And considerately killing me And considerately killing me And considerately killing me And considerately killing me Without the skin Beneath the storm Under these tears The walls came down And the snake is drowned and As I look in his eyes My fear begins to fade Recalling all of those times I could have cried then I should have cried then And as the walls come down and As I look in your eyes My fear begins to fade Recalling all of the times I have died And will die It's all right I don't mind I don't mind I don't mind I am too connected to you to Slip away, to fade away Days away I still feel you Touching me, changing me And considerately killing me And considerately killing me And considerately killing me
I feel like they each song has their cerebral impacts on what parts of consciousness unlocks what based on what you’re personally going through to help reach the an understanding of the soul. For example The Grudge to me, I had a very spiritual experience and revelation and once I learned how to “tool properly” and figured it out (to me at least) it unlocked a flow in my consciousness. It was almost like a dmt trip without the visuals. It’s powerful stuff man.
@@Yoshiyahu_ Nah. "In esoteric cosmology, a plane is conceived as a subtle state, level, or region of reality, each plane corresponding to some type, kind, or category of being."
And that place has helped me through many dark days....🤘🤘🤘 Shit adds up at the bottom 😟, but with a bit of faith,love and some grit we pull through 😉😉💪🤗.
I hear you bro. I’m a core millennial so I was a little kid when this music came out but a have a lot of gen x freinds. Plus millennials got Lateralus.
At age 67, most of my favorite bands over the decades have retired. The beatles, led zeppelin, genesis, pink floyd, Jethro Tull, and rush. Thankfully tool is still around. I just hope I don't have to wait another 14 years before the next album.... don't think I'll make that long.
At 43 i,m hoping I make another Tool album at this rate I will be your age when it comes out , hopefully for both our sakes its not long , peace man, hope you are well
I remember being at a tool concert in Phoenix az once..they had asked for a song request to open up to..I yelled push it so goddamn loud they actually opened with my favorite song. Can't describe the feeling of being heard.
ChrisoneillART we need these youngsters listening to this then the shit out now so better late then never!!!🤙👍Welcome, now listen to every Tool, A Perfect Circle and Pusifer lol
For sure! Just introduced my son to TOOL and when this Part came he was just in aweee. He was in awee for it all. But he said the Musicians are so fucking good Dad! Lol. Yes son,yes they are!
So thankful that they left the comments open on their channel. That’s what tool music is all about. More so than any other band I’ve ever listened to. Personal interpretation. I’m thankful that everyone is able to share theirs
BINGO!!! I will never get back the countless hours I've spent going through every comment on all of Tool's vids. But, ya know what?? The stories I have found there were well worth every second. Some tragic, some uplifting and some that were just off the fuckin chain but all of those stories, those different voices, those distant friends, they all had a familiarity to them and a feeling of unity. I still spend more time than I should going thru comments but they call me and I can't resist. Each and every one is like opening a letter from an old friend that you haven't seen in years and they give me hope that the future may not be as bleak nor as dark as it appears. So, family, keep those letters coming and when I hear that beckoning voice, I will sit here in my little room with a glass of wine and a top shelf pre rolled from the dispensary down the street and I will get lost in your stories and feel at peace with the world.
Exactly, I share Tool with my children and tell them the music means something different to everyone, because music belongs to all of us. Some see this as a physical relational struggle, I see it as my battle with God to understand my chronic debilitating pain. Strangely, I find God through utter disobedience to God from an honest heart.

It's what you notice most about the old Tool albums. Maynard was so unique and his delivery was literally one of one. Many think he got tired of Tool. I think he got tried of himself. Something definitely happened and I'm guessing it was a bad trip. Many of mid 2000s songs talk about him losing his identity of self. I think By and Down is a great example. He became a little too self aware. He was at his best when balancing his nihilist view with his preachy holier than thou demeanor. We're all hypocrites.
I was in a relationship like this and every time I hear this song, it heals me. It explains what I can’t. I couldn’t listen to it for a while when I got out of that situation years ago. Now I need to hear it sometimes.
i'm in a relationship like this now... and this was the medicine i needed to hear. i'm not sure what's to come of us ... but i might be sending her this soon along with my goodbye. **If when I say I might fade like a sigh if I stay ** - 8:23
This song helped me through some tough times, I was living in an abandoned warehouse for two months, no electric or water. I'll never forget it and keep on listening!
@@DMert77 i have and i honestly don't understand why so many people think that one is better than the original. The studio version is light years ahead in my opinion
04:16 suspense 05:05 fear of the (un)known 06:18 light at the end of the tunnel! My god, how did I manage to ignore them for the better part of my life until now! Incredible band! I've listened to every album at least 20 times in the past two weeks and it's a gift that doesn't stop giving!
I hear you. Never paid attention to the lyrics much of this song...I mean of course some times it's been 20 yrs. But the past few months have been hard and this song hit reallllly hard and deep.
Revisiting the music of TOOL has been an incredibly profound experience, akin to embarking on an endless journey that continuously unfolds new layers of depth and emotion. Each session spent with their intricate compositions feels like a new adventure, one that never truly begins nor ends but perpetually evolves, offering fresh insights and immense joy every time. Their music is not just a listening experience; it is an immersion into a complex and beautifully crafted world of sound and thought. Should humanity endure the test of time, I am convinced that TOOL’s music will continue to captivate and inspire even 1000 years from now. Their work transcends the temporal, resonating with a timeless quality that speaks to the core of human experience. The band’s ability to weave together technical prowess, profound lyrical content, and hauntingly powerful melodies ensures that their legacy will endure, providing a source of inspiration and wonder for generations to come. Guys, thank you for sharing your gift with the world! Your music is a beacon of beauty and meaning, making the journey through life an immeasurably more wonderful and memorable experience.

I cant stress enough that this is my favorite song. I can truly say without the slightest hint of hesitation or doubt that this is the greatest song I have ever and will ever listen to. This song is my favorite thing in all of existence.
All Tool songs require an immense amount of time and effort. These masterpieces aren’t put together over a few drinks or emotional upheavals. This song is another creation of spirit and intellect. May we all be so privileged to pass this along to others as time goes by.
For the longest time I had only ever heard Vicarious, Schism, and Parabola because they're in Guitar Hero World Tour, and now its been a real treat to able to listen to their entire discography on Spotify and watch all the music videos on TH-cam. They have now become my favorite band period.
I saw is in concert on 3/4/22. My first Tool concert. Their music saved my life when I was at my darkest. This is one of my most favorite songs ever. When they played it I thought I’d die right there. I’m crying again just hearing and thinking about the show. Seeing them was on my bucket list. My abusers said I’d never get clean and I’d see Tool Live but I did and I am!! Tool gave me the strength to finally put a stop to their terror and to change my life. So when I say they saved me I mean that. This song was a huge part of my strength. When he sings “I am somewhere I don’t want be” I felt like they were with me, I wasn’t so alone. That whole verse he wrote for me. I know that’s not true but in a way it is. Then he reminds me “There’s no love in fear”, and he’s right. I saw God at the concert and his name is Maynard James Keenan.
Good for you. I saw them 2 days later on 3/6 for the first time and had very much the same experience as you did. I'm still blown away from the show. I didn't want it to end.
The fact that they do the Salival version of this song so differently, that they're both like completely different songs, is mind blowing. And awesome.
When Tool plays, everything else can pause. The rest can wait. The Rock demands to be played NOW in full, at a volume that far exceeding any standards of safety or sanity.
I was in high school in 96 when this came out. Still listening now. Got to see them 6 times during this era. Never stopped loving this album and band. Gonna see them for my 40th birthday next year.
Me too! Saw them 11 times though. The last time was at the Gorge in WA. Took my friend and she had so much mental overload she had to lay down for the show. A Tool show will reach into your soul, squeeze, release and repeat!
Went to see Tool play in London last night. I said to my friend on the way there, I really want them to play Pushit but I know they won't. They played Pushit! My life is complete! Also the gig was amazing 🤘
Listening again and getting chills after escaping a violent relationship where I thought I was going to be killed. I’ve heard this song so many times before but the lyrics are hitting home with the emotions I’m experiencing. Music is the only thing to cure, comfort, and confront life.
I love how Tool are free and creative enough to say all songs can be interpreted any way fans like. Subjectivity is a very beautiful thing and the lads from Tool understand this. With that being said, I think this is one of the greatest albums of all-time!
TOOL is just TOOL...Either people get it or they don't. That said, there will NEVER be an original band like them. 3 insanely talented musicians and a vocalist who's range is unmatched.
When this album dropped we ate mushrooms and sat on a hill over looking our small town, and listened start to finish without speaking. The batteries probably cost 30$. Now I'm old and weed and shrooms are legal and Tool is the greatest psychedelic rock show in the solar system (to my knowledge anyway)
Aenima is my favorite Tool album of all time. Hoping for a vinyl re-issue of this album or a well done remaster to vinyl. Sounds like these songs have been remastered for a digital release they sound great!
This is and probably always will be my favorite tool song. I heavily rely on music in my life. This has taken me where I needed to be so many times. It melts your face right the fuck off then glues it on again. Literally audio perfection.
The amount of emotion in this song is beyond words. The middle section starting at 4:17 feels so dark, hopeless, yet peaceful. Then Adam comes in at 4:53 and brings a fearful tone. At 5:05 the bass brings a sense of hope amidst the realization that the current situation is not working.
Tool has gotten me through a lot of shit over the last 20 years. Undertow popped my cherry. This album. Lateralus then back to Opiate. I love their entire catalog. Much respect to some very hard rocking talented musicians.
I had 4 teeth removed with no novacaine or any type of pain killers while listening to this in 2001. It was really intense. Jail dentist's taught me a memorable lesson that I keep to this day.
They really do. I finally got to see them live in Columbus on 3/6. As far as concerts go, I have pretty much been there and done that, and literally got the T-Shirt. I was, and still am, blown away by how good these guys really are.
I just checked seeing tool live off my bucket list. Drove 250 miles to see them in Kansas City on 3/15/22. I was a little under the weather due to allergies but when the show started all my aches and pains faded away and I saw the best fucking show ever!!!

The whole album is just a mother fucker. Ilove soundgarden and Chris Cornell. Best vocalist ever . Tool just takes you someplace you didn't know existed. Its amazing.
I start and end my day always with their music, they give me something that no one ever will and it is a beautiful sense of belonging and understanding 🖤. They give me peace of mind.
How can anyone pick their favorite Tool song?!? Everytime I try the next song starts and I'm like man!!! This is my favorite Tool song...It is until the next one come on lol
Los matices que le da Maynard a su voz en esta canción es genial, la manera que entra en cada verso es innovador conforme pasa la canción, la suavidad, lo bien que elige los momentos para los agudos, hasta que al final simplemente se suelta y grita las cosas.
@@sowelilili what does taylor swift have to do with this conversation, oh yeah nothing, tool is one of my favorite bands but there's a reason why maynard hates all of us, we're so defensive and hostile, like, how dare you insult tool, but I'm allowed to desecrate a whole genre.
As great as the Salival version is, it lacks that middle section that this version has. It just doesn't feel the same without that "PEACE OF MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIND!!!!"
Gotta love MJK. Strips naked and screams before running of stage looking like he's having a panic attack. They are so professional and yet such regular guys. My favorite music since I was 12.
In 98 I heard Sober for the first time. Shortly after that the guitar player of my band gave me Aenima to listen to. It was the first album I listened to from start to finish without skipping any tracks. I was blown away
This album was released in October of '96. I was working in a plastics fabrication shop. Everybody got this cd as a Christmas gift from me.
You're an awesome co-worker.
Many of my co-workers did what I did and my friend Miguel did, which was to buy it the day it came out. I think we all perpetuated the idea that it was an album to buy on release.

@Jason Graves checked out your pure g playlist....was expecting some good music, just saw a bunch of cheese about Jesus dying on a cross.
Released in '96, and I was 69th to like this.
I got it for Christmas that year. I never even knew it had come out. Tried acid for the first time on New Years Eve right after that and listened to it. I remember a balloon followed me up the stairs to my room and stopped at my feet. The acid was called Felix. Never see good acid anymore.

That's such a sad story
Deep. Way deep man.

When they play this I'll send the vibes your way!!🤘😀🤘Update: they played Pushit and it was incredible. The whole show was quadruple A+++!!!!!
Yes. This song can bring tears. I cried on this one more than once.
When I was 17 I was in a horrible car accident. I lost mobility in my legs and one of my ear drums ruptured. Even though it hurt to listen, I played tool ever hour of the day. I genuinely believe this song healed me. I am now walking around town with my 3 children, feeling better than ever! THANK YOU TOOL
My daughter is 8 , she's a drummer.. I taught her.. she loves tool.
My friend all the best to you.
God bless

I hope your children appreciate Tool.
That is the power of music!

While you were begging me to stay.
Take care not to make me enter,
If I do we both may disappear.
Know that I will choke until I swallow,
Choke this infant here before me.
What is this but my reflection?
Who am I to judge or strike you down?
But you're
Pushin' and shoving me.
Pushin' and shoving me
Pushin' and shoving me
Pushin' and shoving me
Pushin' and shoving me.
Pushin' and shoving me
Pushin' and shoving me
Pushin' and shoving me
You still love me, still love me,
Push it on me, push it on me.
You still love me, still love me.
Push it on me, push it on me.
Rest your trigger on my finger,
Bang my head upon the fault line.
You better take care not to make me enter.
'Cause if I do we both may disappear.
But you're
Pushin' and shoving me.
Pushin' and shoving me.
Pushin' and shoving me.
Pushin' and shoving me.
You still love me, still love me,
Push it on me, push it on me.
You're pushin' it, shoving me.
You're pushin' it, shoving me.
I'm slipping back into the gap again.
I'm alive when you're touching me,
But not when you're shoving me down.
But I'd trade it all
For just a little piece of mind.
Push it on me.
Push it on me.
Push it on me.
Push it on me.
Your Pushin' and shovin' and scramblin'
To keep my feet flat on the ground
I am somewhere I don't wanna be.
Push me somewhere I don't wanna be.
Put me somewhere I don't wanna be.
Seeing someplace I don't wanna see.
Never wanna see that place again.
Saw that gap again today
While you were begging me to stay.
Managed to push myself away,
And you, as well, my dear.
If when I say I might fade like a sigh if I stay,
You minimize my movement anyway,
One must persuade you another way.
Pushin', shovin', pushin', shovin, pushin me
There's no love in fear.
Staring down the hole again.
Hands are on my back again.
Survival is my only friend.
Terrified of what may come.
Remember I will always love you,
As I claw your fucking throat away.
There will be no other way,
It will end no other way.
Wow
Damn
This song grows on you
What a ride
Holly shit batman
Probably the only band in history with a flawless discography. No bad albums. Not a single bad song. All the music they've created is an absolute masterpiece.
Even the work they've done on the "continuation pieces" such as Mockingbeat, Lipan Conjuring and the others could all become perfect songs.
It will end no other way....
I would agree but I think 'Hooker with a penis' is a terrable song
@@poocock331 I can get behind you there. But it's great for those days you don't want to take life too seriously. That's my favorite thing about Tool- they have a song for every spectrum of human life.
@@poocock331 Even hooker with a penis is great
In every comment under the tool songs there are stories of life, accidents, death and life, fear, rebirth, alchemy...
They aren't just a band, they're the soundtrack of life.
they cannot be appreciated by those who are not even close to their level of depth. I wish everyone to be able to feel them with the same emotion that I feel, and beyond

What's coming through is alive
What's holding up is a mirror
But what's singing songs is a snake
Looking to turn this piss to wine
They're both totally void of hate
But killing me just the same
The snake behind me hisses
What my damage could have been
My blood before me begs me
Open up my heart again
And I feel this coming over like a storm again
Considerately
Venomous voice, tempts me
Drains me, bleeds me
Leaves me cracked and empty
Drags me down like some sweet gravity
The snake behind me hisses
What my damage could have been
My blood before me begs me
Open up my heart again
And I feel this coming over like a storm again
And I feel this coming over like a storm again
I am too connected to you to
Slip away, to fade away
Days away I still feel you
Touching me, changing me
And considerately killing me
And considerately killing me
And considerately killing me
And considerately killing me
Without the skin
Beneath the storm
Under these tears
The walls came down
And the snake is drowned and
As I look in his eyes
My fear begins to fade
Recalling all of those times
I could have cried then
I should have cried then
And as the walls come down and
As I look in your eyes
My fear begins to fade
Recalling all of the times
I have died
And will die
It's all right
I don't mind
I don't mind
I don't mind
I am too connected to you to
Slip away, to fade away
Days away I still feel you
Touching me, changing me
And considerately killing me
And considerately killing me
And considerately killing me
I feel like they each song has their cerebral impacts on what parts of consciousness unlocks what based on what you’re personally going through to help reach the an understanding of the soul.
For example The Grudge to me, I had a very spiritual experience and revelation and once I learned how to “tool properly” and figured it out (to me at least) it unlocked a flow in my consciousness. It was almost like a dmt trip without the visuals. It’s powerful stuff man.
The ending of this song sends me to another plane of existence.
Plain
@@Yoshiyahu_ Nah.
"In esoteric cosmology, a plane is conceived as a subtle state, level, or region of reality, each plane corresponding to some type, kind, or category of being."
Ionic457 imagine being on a “plain” of existence.

An all-timer. People don't realize how good we had it in the 90s...
I do a 12 year old who is a fan of tool
So fuckin true! These kids nowadays have no clue
Tool went well into the 2000s actually I was a millennium and came to life in 2001 when I fist started doing drugs. Schism just appeared on the radio.
😅🚽
I hear you bro. I’m a core millennial so I was a little kid when this music came out but a have a lot of gen x freinds. Plus millennials got Lateralus.
This is one of the best songs to come out of the 90s. Such a masterpiece

At age 67, most of my favorite bands over the decades have retired. The beatles, led zeppelin, genesis, pink floyd, Jethro Tull, and rush. Thankfully tool is still around. I just hope I don't have to wait another 14 years before the next album.... don't think I'll make that long.
hope youre still going strong grandpa
They took what others have done like the bands you mention and just... extended it. I'm not real young either and they restore my faith in heavy rock.

You’ll be alright, we got you, ol boy
I remember being at a tool concert in Phoenix az once..they had asked for a song request to open up to..I yelled push it so goddamn loud they actually opened with my favorite song. Can't describe the feeling of being heard.

The pure chemistry between Carey and Adam at 5:28 -7:55 is overwhelmingly awesome
For sure! Just introduced my son to TOOL and when this Part came he was just in aweee. He was in awee for it all. But he said the Musicians are so fucking good Dad! Lol. Yes son,yes they are!
So thankful that they left the comments open on their channel. That’s what tool music is all about. More so than any other band I’ve ever listened to. Personal interpretation. I’m thankful that everyone is able to share theirs
BINGO!!! I will never get back the countless hours I've spent going through every comment on all of Tool's vids. But, ya know what?? The stories I have found there were well worth every second. Some tragic, some uplifting and some that were just off the fuckin chain but all of those stories, those different voices, those distant friends, they all had a familiarity to them and a feeling of unity. I still spend more time than I should going thru comments but they call me and I can't resist. Each and every one is like opening a letter from an old friend that you haven't seen in years and they give me hope that the future may not be as bleak nor as dark as it appears. So, family, keep those letters coming and when I hear that beckoning voice, I will sit here in my little room with a glass of wine and a top shelf pre rolled from the dispensary down the street and I will get lost in your stories and feel at peace with the world.
Exactly, I share Tool with my children and tell them the music means something different to everyone, because music belongs to all of us. Some see this as a physical relational struggle, I see it as my battle with God to understand my chronic debilitating pain. Strangely, I find God through utter disobedience to God from an honest heart.

It's "push-it on me" not shit on me lmao
3:08 - 3:21 is my all-time favorite singing part by Maynard. Feels like it's ripping my soul out of my body.
Totally agree. My favourite part.
I would trade it all for a little peace of mind
This section literally brings tears to my eyes.
The hook on wings pt 2 starting with "what are they gonna do when the lights go down" and ending with "10000 days in the fire is long enough" is mine
It's what you notice most about the old Tool albums. Maynard was so unique and his delivery was literally one of one.
Many think he got tired of Tool. I think he got tried of himself. Something definitely happened and I'm guessing it was a bad trip. Many of mid 2000s songs talk about him losing his identity of self. I think By and Down is a great example.
He became a little too self aware. He was at his best when balancing his nihilist view with his preachy holier than thou demeanor.
We're all hypocrites.
I was in a relationship like this and every time I hear this song, it heals me. It explains what I can’t. I couldn’t listen to it for a while when I got out of that situation years ago. Now I need to hear it sometimes.
i'm in a relationship like this now... and this was the medicine i needed to hear. i'm not sure what's to come of us ... but i might be sending her this soon along with my goodbye.

This song helped me through some tough times, I was living in an abandoned warehouse for two months, no electric or water. I'll never forget it and keep on listening!
Although extremely difficult to choose a favorite, this song just may be it from their entire discography.

And it will never stop giving. Been listening to them almost every day for 30 years. Best band on earth. Enjoy 🤘
Welcome 😏😏😏
listening to them since 98 still finding new things :)
I hear you. Never paid attention to the lyrics much of this song...I mean of course some times it's been 20 yrs. But the past few months have been hard and this song hit reallllly hard and deep.
I love this. I want to die but this keeps me alive
Absolute masterpiece!! I feel sorry for those who don't "get" Tool and their music. Best band on Earth and it's not even close
Revisiting the music of TOOL has been an incredibly profound experience, akin to embarking on an endless journey that continuously unfolds new layers of depth and emotion. Each session spent with their intricate compositions feels like a new adventure, one that never truly begins nor ends but perpetually evolves, offering fresh insights and immense joy every time. Their music is not just a listening experience; it is an immersion into a complex and beautifully crafted world of sound and thought.
Should humanity endure the test of time, I am convinced that TOOL’s music will continue to captivate and inspire even 1000 years from now. Their work transcends the temporal, resonating with a timeless quality that speaks to the core of human experience. The band’s ability to weave together technical prowess, profound lyrical content, and hauntingly powerful melodies ensures that their legacy will endure, providing a source of inspiration and wonder for generations to come.
Guys, thank you for sharing your gift with the world! Your music is a beacon of beauty and meaning, making the journey through life an immeasurably more wonderful and memorable experience. (30/5/2024)

I completely agree why do ppl think third eye is better....
@@johnhinckley6491 I love this song don’t get me wrong but third eye IS the best song off Ænima one of the best in their entire catalogue
My second favorite tool song always changes. But this song has always remained at the top.
All Tool songs require an immense amount of time and effort. These masterpieces aren’t put together over a few drinks or emotional upheavals.
This song is another creation of spirit and intellect. May we all be so privileged to pass this along to others as time goes by.
That "I'll always love you" so much emotion.
I’ve just seen Tool live in London and holy shit I didn’t expect this song to be the one leaving me with my jaw on the floor. It was biblical.
Hearing them perform this song live is what made it become one of my favourite songs. The performance has stuck with me, I'll never forget it.
For the longest time I had only ever heard Vicarious, Schism, and Parabola because they're in Guitar Hero World Tour, and now its been a real treat to able to listen to their entire discography on Spotify and watch all the music videos on TH-cam. They have now become my favorite band period.

Same bro
I saw is in concert on 3/4/22. My first Tool concert. Their music saved my life when I was at my darkest. This is one of my most favorite songs ever. When they played it I thought I’d die right there. I’m crying again just hearing and thinking about the show. Seeing them was on my bucket list. My abusers said I’d never get clean and I’d see Tool Live but I did and I am!! Tool gave me the strength to finally put a stop to their terror and to change my life. So when I say they saved me I mean that. This song was a huge part of my strength. When he sings “I am somewhere I don’t want be” I felt like they were with me, I wasn’t so alone. That whole verse he wrote for me. I know that’s not true but in a way it is. Then he reminds me “There’s no love in fear”, and he’s right. I saw God at the concert and his name is Maynard James Keenan.
Good for you. I saw them 2 days later on 3/6 for the first time and had very much the same experience as you did. I'm still blown away from the show. I didn't want it to end.
They played this when I saw them in DC. The first time I saw them touring for 10,000 Days, they played Pushit with trippy colors!
He revealed God to you. Maynard is only flesh.
The fact that they do the Salival version of this song so differently, that they're both like completely different songs, is mind blowing. And awesome.

@@Syncopated_ oh yeah, and he sang the remainder of the song on said fans back, with the cord around his neck. That stuff was funny
With Tool you need to carefully choose when you listen to their songs. They're long, and you wouldn't want to pause even once. It ruins the flow.
When Tool plays, everything else can pause. The rest can wait. The Rock demands to be played NOW in full, at a volume that far exceeding any standards of safety or sanity.
This song is one in a million. Even amongst Tool songs. A very special place in my conscience it has.
When tool plays, it's either reading/listening to the lyrics or listening to the music.
Personally, listening to both is impossible.
@@schprox Agreed.
You are correct
I was in high school in 96 when this came out. Still listening now. Got to see them 6 times during this era. Never stopped loving this album and band. Gonna see them for my 40th birthday next year.
Me too! Saw them 11 times though. The last time was at the Gorge in WA. Took my friend and she had so much mental overload she had to lay down for the show. A Tool show will reach into your soul, squeeze, release and repeat!
Ultimately my favorite Tool song of all time love Tool
Found these guys during the pandemic and I've listened to nearly every song and Tool has rapidly become one of my favorites. Fantastic band.

Went to see Tool play in London last night. I said to my friend on the way there, I really want them to play Pushit but I know they won't.
They played Pushit! My life is complete! Also the gig was amazing 🤘
Lucky you got to see them, and heard the song you really wanted to.
Listening again and getting chills after escaping a violent relationship where I thought I was going to be killed. I’ve heard this song so many times before but the lyrics are hitting home with the emotions I’m experiencing. Music is the only thing to cure, comfort, and confront life.
@binks2771 Sorry to hear that, and yes this music is very healing and rewarding.. Long live TOOL..
I love how Tool are free and creative enough to say all songs can be interpreted any way fans like. Subjectivity is a very beautiful thing and the lads from Tool understand this. With that being said, I think this is one of the greatest albums of all-time!
One thing about Tool is you can never describe to someone else that hasn't heard them how a specific song sounds from beginning to end.
TOOL is just TOOL...Either people get it or they don't. That said, there will NEVER be an original band like them. 3 insanely talented musicians and a vocalist who's range is unmatched.
Pneuma, Descending, 7empest and Invincible are great. Freaking awesome in fact. But this song, this version, is still my number one.
Happy new year!
This hole album is
How can this version possibly be better than Salival???
tough. I think every Tool song is on the top of the food chain.
@@CH-iy3kd check out there no quarter cover
This is the most badass riff in aenima period
When this album dropped we ate mushrooms and sat on a hill over looking our small town, and listened start to finish without speaking. The batteries probably cost 30$. Now I'm old and weed and shrooms are legal and Tool is the greatest psychedelic rock show in the solar system (to my knowledge anyway)
Hell yeah I just got shrooms for the first time in like 25 years. Most intense trip of my life. Not even close
Maynard’s all-time greatest vocal moment is in this song. And that’s saying a lot cause every single one of his songs has a “Maynard Moment”
Every tool song is amazing, but 3:05 of this song is the single most beautiful tragic and vulnerable moment of all of their songs for me.
That might be the highlight of Maynard's singing in Tool. Just incredible.
Totally fucking agree man.
Fuckin' A right man
Fucking magical. It just takes me away this part!
I know what you mean man!
Always find myself anticipating those phenomenal dissonances between the bass and guitar starting at 3:02.
Aenima is my favorite Tool album of all time. Hoping for a vinyl re-issue of this album or a well done remaster to vinyl. Sounds like these songs have been remastered for a digital release they sound great!
In my time this album and AIC’s “Dirt” got more play than any others in my life and got me thru some very rough times.......#🎸🥁#Tool#AIC#(RIP)Layne

Communication in a dedicated relationship can be hard if you’re both playing the victim
"Remember I will always love you, as I claw your fucking throat away" probably one of the hardest lines in music I have ever heard.
Beautiful words, what an amazing love song
Crawl away is another beautiful love song.😊
This is and probably always will be my favorite tool song. I heavily rely on music in my life. This has taken me where I needed to be so many times. It melts your face right the fuck off then glues it on again. Literally audio perfection.
"I'm alive when you're touching me, alive when you're shoving me down"

Holy smokes the drums are insane. Bell hits and hi hats are used so creatively. The open hats in the first part are sooooooo good
One of Tool's best creations ever made
The amount of emotion in this song is beyond words. The middle section starting at 4:17 feels so dark, hopeless, yet peaceful. Then Adam comes in at 4:53 and brings a fearful tone. At 5:05 the bass brings a sense of hope amidst the realization that the current situation is not working.
Perfect song. Perfect album.
Tool has gotten me through a lot of shit over the last 20 years. Undertow popped my cherry. This album. Lateralus then back to Opiate. I love their entire catalog. Much respect to some very hard rocking talented musicians.
Since you enjoy Opiate check out "Tool 72826". TH-cam has a pretty good version of it so you don't have to go far. Enjoy!!
I had 4 teeth removed with no novacaine or any type of pain killers while listening to this in 2001. It was really intense. Jail dentist's taught me a memorable lesson that I keep to this day.
Tool sounds better with age - I am now 64 years old and they sound better to me than they did 20 years ago.
They really do. I finally got to see them live in Columbus on 3/6. As far as concerts go, I have pretty much been there and done that, and literally got the T-Shirt. I was, and still am, blown away by how good these guys really are.

Push it on me, push it on me.
You're pushin' it, shoving me.
You're pushin' it, shoving me.
I'm slipping back into the gap again.
I'm alive when you're touching me,
But not when you're shoving me down.
But I'd trade it all
For just a little piece of mind.
Push it on me.
Push it on me.
Push it on me.
Push it on me.
Your Pushin' and shovin' and scramblin'
To keep my feet flat on the ground
I am somewhere I don't wanna be.
Push me somewhere I don't wanna be.
Put me somewhere I don't wanna be.
Seeing someplace I don't wanna see.
Never wanna see that place again.
Saw that gap again today
While you were begging me to stay.
Managed to push myself away,
And you, as well, my dear.
If when I say I might fade like a sigh if I stay,
You minimize my movement anyway,
One must persuade you another way.
Pushin', shovin', pushin', shovin, pushin me
There's no love in fear.
Staring down the hole again.
Hands are on my back again.
Survival is my only friend.
Terrified of what may come.
Remember I will always love you,
As I claw your fucking throat away.
There will be no other way,
It will end no other way
wrong lyrics are wrong
Say sike rn
"But you didn't need to shit on me" missing from the first 2 refains
I got mornings I wake up with the violins in my head and my day starts with this super smooth and calming riff.
I don't think people realize how legendary this is. I feel bad for those who only listen to mainstream music.
Me too
I mean as long as they enjoy it, its fine :) there´s tons of great music we miss as well, nobody has time to hear all music produced sadly
Tool is mainstream metal bro I fucking love but they're not underground or indie
@@CannibalFleshFest they're practically dadrock let's be honest.
well said.....
[Intro]
I saw the gap again today
While you were begging me to stay
Take care not to make me enter
If I do, we both may disappear
[Verse 1]
Know that I will choke until I swallow
Choke this infant here before me
What is this but my reflection?
Who am I to judge or strike you down?
[Chorus]
But you're
Pushing and shoving me
Pushing and shoving me
Pushing and shoving me
Pushing and shoving me
Pushing and shoving me
Pushing and shoving me
Pushing and shoving me
Pushing and shoving me
You still love me, you still love me
But you didn't need to push it on me
You still love me, you still love me
But you didn't need to push it on me
[Verse 2]
Rest your trigger on my finger
Bang my head upon the fault line
You better take care not to make me enter
'Cause if I do, we both may disappear
[Chorus]
But you're
Pushing and shoving me
Pushing and shoving me
Pushing and shoving me
Pushing and shoving me
You still love me, you still love me
But you didn't need to push it on me
You're pushing and shoving me
Pushing and shoving me
[Verse 3]
I'm slipping back into the gap again
I'm alive when you're touching me
Alive when you're shoving me down, yeah
But I'd trade it all
For just a little peace of mind
[Chorus]
Push it on me, push it on me
Push it on me, push it on me
You're pushing, and shoving, and scrambling
To keep my feet flat on the ground
[Bridge]
I am somewhere I don't wanna be, yeah
Push me somewhere I don't wanna be
You put me somewhere I don't wanna be
Seeing someplace I don't wanna see
Never want to see that place again
[Verse 4]
Saw that gap again today
While you were begging me to stay
Managed to push myself away
And you, as well, my dear
And if when I say I might fade like a sigh if I stay
You minimize my movement anyway
I must persuade you another way
[Outro]
Pushing and shoving
Pushing and shoving
Pushing me
There's no love in fear
Yeah, I'm staring down the hole again
Hands around my back again
Survival is my only friend
Terrified of what may come, yeah
Remember I'll always love you
As I claw your fucking throat away
It will end no other way
It will end no other way
The whole album is just a mother fucker. Ilove soundgarden and Chris Cornell. Best vocalist ever . Tool just takes you someplace you didn't know existed. Its amazing.
I know right
Soundgarden and tool and nirvana and linkin park are a couple of my favorites
I start and end my day always with their music, they give me something that no one ever will and it is a beautiful sense of belonging and understanding 🖤. They give me peace of mind.
How can anyone pick their favorite Tool song?!?
Everytime I try the next song starts and I'm like man!!! This is my favorite Tool song...It is until the next one come on lol
Let this be a lesson on how to sequence playlists
What's your favorite song to hear after pushit?
My dad would put headphones on my moms belly while I was in the womb and play this entire album.
Uhhhhhhh no
Sawed-off Rubba uhhhhhhhh yes
Thats awesome
Bryanna F I’ve been a tool fan before I was even born
my dad use to blast this whole album in the car when i was really little so now this album is extremely nostalgic
September 17 2024 happy birthday to this album 28 years later!
Los matices que le da Maynard a su voz en esta canción es genial, la manera que entra en cada verso es innovador conforme pasa la canción, la suavidad, lo bien que elige los momentos para los agudos, hasta que al final simplemente se suelta y grita las cosas.
Best song in the album
@Raphael Mazelier One of the only songs that can possibly top it is the live version lol.
did u remember there is Third Eye on the album ?
@@Morgan-sl6lx fuck yes third eye is so overlooked this day
Yes
All of their songs are the best songs of their albums..
Someone tell Lars that THIS is how you mix an open snare.
He encompasses angry little Mr. Ulrich
honestly, the eq could've been a little better and it could've been a little quieter
lars is shite
Someone tell Lars that it's ok to practice while you're at it.
Yeah put Danny and Lars in a drum off Danny would totally own
This song has gotten me through some rough times
Blanco Barbequez me to
this song was with me through some DARK shit i hope to never return to
#FACTS
Probably the greatest song ever written. This NEVER EVER gets old! TOOL=TIMELESS
This track is so powerful it still brings tears to my eyes 30 years later. Talk about "lasting power". Genius
The CD case and liner notes that moved were SO DOPE at the time. lol
It still is. Do you see Taylor swift with this shit?
i have the album and agree 100 and it still is the best thing in a album booklet
I still have it..
@@sowelilili what does taylor swift have to do with this conversation, oh yeah nothing, tool is one of my favorite bands but there's a reason why maynard hates all of us, we're so defensive and hostile, like, how dare you insult tool, but I'm allowed to desecrate a whole genre.
Holy crap I forgot about that shit!
That middle section might be one of the best musical creations ever made, to be fair the whole song is and that ending a pure masterpiece
PIECE OF MINDDD
@@churchdog Peace
As great as the Salival version is, it lacks that middle section that this version has. It just doesn't feel the same without that "PEACE OF MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIND!!!!"
If I live to be 90 I will still be listening to this vynle very very loud
Adams guitar work is so absolutely stunning in this song.
Oh hi, there you are. Favourite song! Never gets old.
Gotta love MJK. Strips naked and screams before running of stage looking like he's having a panic attack. They are so professional and yet such regular guys. My favorite music since I was 12.
Adam Jones takes the spotlight in this masterpiece!!
The 🐐 song from the 🐐 band
this song plays SO HEAVY live, such a simple, heavy line
Hearing them play this live this Tuesday was a beautiful experience
The change at 5 minutes is the beginning of the greatest musical accomplishments in all of music for decades to come.
The ending is soo well written, the ultimate climax, epic
Every now and then, certain Tool songs hit you like the first time it hit you. IM BACK IN THAT PLACE AGAIN.😑😔
In 98 I heard Sober for the first time. Shortly after that the guitar player of my band gave me Aenima to listen to. It was the first album I listened to from start to finish without skipping any tracks. I was blown away
