Therapist Reacts to THE POT by TOOL

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 มี.ค. 2024
- Therapist analyzes the lyrics to "The Pot" by Tool to discuss how we can use the song to recognize the hypocrisy of our inner critic (the negative voice in our own minds). Once we recognize that hypocrisy we can begin to discredit and fight against the voice.

Prison Sex will require all your Therapist training
Sad but true
True, i think she must listen Undertow or Bottom first xd
"Please forgive this Bold suggestion" tool-10,000 days
one can only hope you mean the song, not the act.
So true about that song, very deep and she is a very bright person. I wonder if she will pick up on it right off the bat
the grudge!!! do the grudge!
SERIOUSLY
Jambi, please do this for Jambi by Tool.
No, react to Prison Sx, it's much more interesting for a theraphist to analyze.
@@Qliphirotno the grudge is
@@Qliphirot that one is obvious, but I am sure she would be horrified 😅
Yes please, and then Pneuma. Im curious what a therapist would say about Pneuma
@@FilterdeezBy and Down by APC would be an awesome reaction
Need to do Wings for Marie 1&2. Also Lost Keys & Rosetta Stoned.
And Lateralus is a therapy session in its self. Helped me a ton!
Rosetta Stoned for sure
Right In Two !!! As well@@d5argent
I’d really like her to do Lateralus. That’s the one I listen to when I’m spending too much time in my head.
No. Cause then she'll start getting all emotional. Then you'll be like "She's a therapist?" Dont do it sister.
Maynard writes the lyrics after the music done. How incredible it must be for Danny, Justin, & Adam to compose a song sonically, only to be blown away by the time Maynard gives it a narrative?!?
I know this has been a big thing shared on Tool reactions recently, and its awesome to see what Maynard does since his addition is always amazing... but this is actually an extremely common practice, especially in metal. You almost always have the vocalist write their parts after the song is done... then maybe the band does some tweaks after the vocal plans are made if they feel it would be an improvement.
I DO think what is awesome about it is how seamless the Maynard parts fit the song to create an experimental experience that FEELS like it was written together. Definitely something mostly unique to Tool.
It's why it takes 10 years for them to make an album. btw who's this woman and what the fuck is she talking about.
is it something that unusual? i don't think musicians usually start composing a song, from an idea like "let's make a musical piece, and it will be about elephants and trains"
i'd imagine it's usually about finding a catching melody, then building around that, and at the end writing some lyrics matching the vibe
also add to the fact, that vocalists usually aren't main composers in the bands as far as i know
Maynard is Genius.... I love him !!! He's the cure for anyone ....
He wrote this a out his manager and the fight they had in court to separate the band and it took ten years for them to finally win the music they wrote Maynard never put out his songs over the airwaves through Spotify and other others until he had the rights and the band holds the rights to all their music and they made their record company so they have full control of the music they create not only did Maynard fight but they won the battle ! During the ten year wait they created 10,000 days it came out the shows the growth of the band and it has growth written all over it 10,000 days was written about his mother Wings for Marie was a tribute to her battle she fought she lived 10,000 days after her stroke it's a beautiful to his mother.. After 10,000days was put out we waited 10years for them to put out Fear while they fought for the rights to their songs all the band holds the rights to every song they write its divided equally even though Maynard writes the lyrics after the music is done ... Genius.. my uncle was Tommy Tedesco he wrote and played guitar .. he wrote music that is legend in the industry look him up on you tube , anyway I'm rambling but to give insight to their songs you've got to be hardcore and dive into the meanings of their songs, Mayn ards other. Band is A Perfect Circle, they are genius in the industry , Maynard writes and sings this was his band he created to soothe his wait during the battle with the old manager , they fought for the rights to the songs they wrote , A perfect Circle was created ch😊eck them out sometime, you'll love the live album they did 13th step it's about the A A rule that's a un written rule you never date for the 2 years following your recovery after the 12 steps are done and unwritten rule is no dating another member of A A and have relationships while in recovery, the album is a tribute to the issues and the insight to people in recovery and their problems they fight .... He's genius Maynard is Genius .... Follow and research Tool they are essential in the industry and have created some awesome work ... 🙏😁💛💛💛💛❤️🧡😮❤️🍄🍄🍄To really get the right meaning of the songs you need to research them , then you'll understand Maynard min😅d a little more ..... Become a diehard fan like me and millions of others Tool is the blood that courses in my veins , it's amazing to 😮share this band the way you do , great work you've gotten the band down .... Try listening to the album Lateralis only then can you grasp the real genius Maynard is.... Remember the music was created with no words , Maynard listens to the music then writes the words... I'm hardcore Tool fan I fly to see them when their in Calif an😅d Nevada and Phoenix it's wild being a Toolie it's become a great part of my life it's my get away , when my head is full of the events of the days past it release s my neg energy a and thoughts , it's great therapy they twist and tug and they rise above them all , they even won Grammys for their work.. I'm rambling so I now will stop , you can see how I love them ... No words can I find to express the feeling they give you , that's the reason we love them so much they take your head and create energy and take you places you never thought you existed in them . Till Tool came out I was all over the board they cured me. They healed my head , itvwas a scary place I was in ,the n I heard Tool in 96 I've been a fan since ... They healed me ... No words.... ❤❤❤❤
Dang girl welcome to the TOOL Army! Loving your take on these amazing songs! Do a TOOL Tuesdays we will come lol. This band changed my life and I hope you grow to love them too. ❤🤘
Tool changed my life as well, the reason they are my favorite band!
Gotta react to Tool songs Parabol and Parabola (spiritual enlightenment)
i've never seen anyone point it out before, but the line about "lemon juice up in your eye" is about people putting lemon juice on a handkerchief and using that to cry fake tears on the stand in court.
No it isn’t.
It’s a reference to Jimmy Page and
Led Zeppelin.
@@quarters-eye8922 you're going to have to explain that a little bit more than not at all
I love watching you progress through your journey of Tool. Keep Spiraling Out...
As a fellow therapist, I love your insights. Thank you for your unique attention to lyrical detail.
thank you :) means a lot to me!! - T
@@HeartSupportParabole/Parabola
"We are eternal all this pain is an illusion" ❤
My wife is an LPCC-S and helping her study for her tests years ago helped me figure out a lot of tools stuff, but never like this! Glad I found your channel!!!
As someone who struggles to turn his head off, Tool is such a kind of healing, it´s unreal. I would really like to hear a therapist´s opinion on Alice in Chains "Acid Bubble". Not one of their popular ones but such a deep song and definitely worth listening.
The beautiful thing about Tool is that their songs can be interpreted at least a few different ways depending on the listener and where they are in their own personal growth. Tool, and Maynard James Keenan's other bands A Perfect Circle and Puscifer have seen many of us through some very dark times in our lives. So, like others have already said, welcome to the rabbit hole.
I was listening to a new Danny Carey interview when this notification popped up haha
for anyone interested is in Rick Beato's channel.
thanks bro
Rick's interviews are great. Both the Danny Carey and Maynard interviews are worth the time for any Tool fans.
That was literally the last video I was watching also 😂
Rick Beato is a dude... 😊
Cool. Thanks , I haven’t watched him in a while. Gonna check it out.
Culling Voices is one of my favorites by Tool. I think you'd dig it.
I’ve typed out comments to you so many times and then erased them because I just can’t come up with the right words to express how much I appreciate the way you share your knowledge and talent with us. I just love your content and I’m grateful for you 😊
Love this woman's insight. How she can point certain things out and makes total sense. Think "Stinkfist" (desensitization, over stimulation) "The Grudge" name speaks for itself, consumed by holding grudges. "Pushit" (a abusive relationship) "Eulogy" (dealing with death) and "Prison Sex" ( becoming something that happened to you) would all be great listens for her and her analogy on it. Anything else I might have Missed or others have suggestions? Stay positive everyone, sending love your way ❤
Pneuma, Fear innoculum, Jambi, and maybe H
Pretty much anything by Tool really...
If it's not insightful and deep, it's humourous and still manages to have a underlying message (these are the cries of the carrots! 😂).
stinkfist is hard to analyze on youtube because the song is about anal fisting
I love how smart she is and how she has zero rhythm😅
@@tattoodude8946die eier von satan 😅
Pulling this to an 'internal jury' was an interesting take. I always heard the lyrics in amore literal 'hypocrisy of the judge, jury and prosecution to condemn someone for smoking pot when most likely all of them have done it too!' But now that you say it, an 'internal judge' makes a lot of sense too in the context.
From what I read it's both actually
"Going on playlist" spiral out keep going 🌀🌀🤟🤟
You made me think about this song in a new way after so so many years of listening. That's awesome. Thank you.
Tool is a musical experience, one of my favorite bands for over 20 years now. Maynard is an animal, I believe he's a black belt in bjj, has a restaraunt, and a vineyard. Amazing human being!
Tools creative process is so amazing. The band creates the music. Then Maynard puts his lyrics in and BOOM gold..
Great content as always.
Love to see Stinkfist or Wings for Marie Part 2.
I was just going over dissonence in my DBT group. For some of us, we hold these thoughts in our mind that do not come from us, but are often values that were forced onto us at a young age, and as our own self awareness developed, we can often feel confused and not understand why.
I hear the voice in my head, reminding me how little my own wants and desires matter, all while over-indulging in anything that makes me feel good; like, when you're in a group of friends, you're hungry, and the question gets asked what everyone wants, and where should we order from. I don't voice my opinion until no one else offers anything, then I INSIST that we order what I want. Feelings of guilt crop up and then I start to feel bad about myself for strongly expressing what I want.
Also, I will feel strongly about how badly my friend is being treated by their spouse, and, after my friend cheated on her, my ethics tell me to insist they confess to her, or I will...but, then I don't, because I don't want to lose them as a friend.
Tool's music has helped me through so much in life. addiction, co-dependency, post traumatic stress, anxiety, death, financial hardship, you name it. its been hard to have a steady therapist because of all the moving around i've had to do and the cyclic nature of my moods. i attribute a lot of my healing to to their music. liked, subscribed. please do whatever Tool song will get you the most views. you will get to my favorites soon enough.
I'm a huge Tool fan, and I found your channel because of the Tool videos, but it took me a stupidly long time to smell what you're cooking. It smells good, though, and now I'm subscribed. And as far as Tool goes, getting their music out there to more folk is a good thing for all concerned. AND you're adding value.
They all should be on ur playlist
"Pushit" next please
Came here to say this.
I second the motion.
Live version from Salival. It's an alt version, but would suit this channel better than the original album version.
The Patient ❤
Ok Taylor, I followed your explanation and agree. Your analysis of tool songs often gives me a headache! Guess it’s not an area of my brain that I use often, lol. The funny thing to me is that you get excited by these odd (to me) areas and flash a smile! Keep having fun! I enjoy your analysis. The headaches…not so much.
I'm pretty sure they hate the legal system and lawyers for all the lawsuits they've been through.
And Jimmy Page for (trying) to sue them. It's widely speculated that's what this song is about.
@@increasement Jimmy page tried to sue them…?? No way. For what..??
@@baki2332 plagiarism, the same thing he tries to sue everyone for...pot calling the kettle black
@@increasement for what tho the guitar cords? Or..
@@baki2332 i don't know, & haven't found any Led Zep riffs TOOL stole, borrowed, or reefered to. I wouldn't be surprised if Page found TOOL's No Quarter cover on Napster labeled as their own & threw a shitfit. Or even just over the song itself. But this song is full of references to songs Jimmy Page ripped off in Led Zeppelin. I have no hard evidence he tried to sue them but the song seems to speak for itself in that regard, IMO.
YASSS I LOVE YOURE ADDING IT TO YOUR PLAYLIST ❤❤❤❤
Therapist catching bars even I couldn't
Love how you get the face . You gotta see em live . Sweaty loud and really good
Love your channel girl! ❤ 💁♀️ 👏
Best name for a band that constantly has you looking deep within yourself after every song.
I've been waiting for you to dive into this one. I love to hear your analysis of the music I've grown up listening to. I've always believed music was therapeutic. But you're teaching me why I like it and why I identify with it.
I love how smart u are and catch every detail in all ur reactions.very intelligent girl with good taste:D
The Patient by Tool is so good. It’s about holding on and persevering.
About this mother's perseverance
@@FreshCutFrenchFries I’ve seen a lot of interpretations, but not this one. I looked it up though and that’s a pretty cool interpretation. I know that his mother has had influence over some of the songs, not just for Tool, but also A Perfect Circle. ⭕️
@Nick-hm2dm I have interpreted the song as MJK feeling that if put through the same condition as his mother went through he couldn't be as strong as she was. Also see it as a continuing second half to the song Jimmy.
'Indigo' was the colour reserved for kings and royals
Also shorthand for indignation
To expand on that line, cozen means to trick or deceive, especially to obtain through deceit, so “weeping shades of cozened indigo” means crying fake or “crocodile” tears. Using lemon juice was an old way, especially in older films, to make someone fake cry for a scene.
@@cnogo33was just about to say this lol
Didn’t know that… thanks!
@@cnogo33Very cool info there. I always love learning the underlying messages in their work. They can get quite cryptic at times, making references that are a bit too obscure for me. Thank you for that!
Your off cuff insight into these lyrics to me is astounding
You’re excellent at explaining the concept of the songs.✌🏻❤️
Listen to the songs he wrote about his mother
And not just with Tool then, but you gotta go with _Judith_ from *A Perfect Circle*
Got to include A Perfect Circle Judith and three Libras
I love her "Thizz face" when she feels it
After watching this video, this song just became an inspirational song for me! I'm not that quick with meaning in lyrics, but your analysis has put a whole new light on this song. I've been a Tool fan for over 20 years and it's been mostly about the time signatures and composure of the music that sell me on their music, but I always knew I was missing something in Maynard's lyrics. He seems like a very intelligent person. Hoping to see more content about his lyrics, it felt spot on to me.
I love watching reactions of people hearing The Pot for the first time. You’re in my top 3 😊
Only my 3rd video of yours but I absolutely love your energy and the things you delve into with the songs, new sub!
Thanks for helping me look at one of favorite bands in another way. Love your take on their music!
The bass on this song is so stupid good
The double entendre in this song is also just amazing. Since it is about hypocrisy and he references the "black kettle" but says, "You must have been high"
This fine lady is all chaos and I love it.
Raise the dead is right up her alley. i see it in her reaction.
Your analysis is wonderful to listen to. Love it!
Your reactions are honestly my favorite! I live for the faces you make 😂
“The song tells about the drug culture in the USA. Adam Jones (guitarist) confirmed it to be about hypocrisy and believing that someone is above others. The main targets of criticism are the church and the government.”
I personally thought it was aimed at the church at first, but the lyric Gunja at the end usually refers to weed/pot/marijuana…
All scenarios I agree with anyway… Tool is awesome 😊
You can see from the song, most of Tool’s music, and from background in psychology, their music is most definitely the thinking person’s music. I appreciate how you’ve broken down this song into what it means.
love your reactions/breakdowns. the stankface thumbnails get me eveytime
Inner critic serves a purpose if you recognize it.. and that is to strive to be better than you are. Best way to silence that critic is to disprove it.. not just call it out.
Really dig your vids! Love your take 👍🏻
Okay i subscride now. Cannae wait for more Tool and to listen to your thoughts. Oh yeah and cant forget the dancing... LOOOOVEE!!!
I loved watching you enjoy this song and good advice about calling out our inner critic. Took me a long time to be ok with myself and faults i try hard not to be a hypocrite lol im more gentle with myself than i am with someone coming at me with criticism unless i know it comes from someone who is truly looking out for me and helping me to grow always room for growth.
Self proclaimed tool head here mate I must have seen hundreds of tool reactions in my Life and may I say that you are nearly bang on with the annalis of Maynard's lyrical content well done please if you haven't already listen to forty six and two as well as lateralis
yep, had something to do with legal dealings they had w/record label, lawyer, manager, entitlement, and judgements from a court. Basically, the suits were taking excessive amounts of money for art they didn't produce. As I understand it, "it" being the song and a rumor of an explanation.
between this and forty six & 2, you've covered two of my favorite Tool songs 😁😁
Glad you enjoy them! - T
I love this BUT here’s my list of Tool songs that would be BEST for your particular analysis as a counselor
Pushit
Wings for Marie/10,000 days
Stinkfist
Third eye
Prison sex
The grudge
stinkfist haha
Prison Sx definitely the one she should react first.
H would be top of my list
@@pystoph3987 I don’t disagree at all .basically the entire aenima album is poetry
I think “Fourty Six & 2” is one of my absolute favorites.
Even though I found Tool when Undertow Came out… “Sweat” is still one of my favorite shorter rock songs.
This is probably the best introduction song to Tools in their catalogue !
I can't wait until you eventually get to Gojira since you're dissecting Lyrics, especially songs from their Album Magma !
This song is about the law firm Tool hired to settle a lawsuit against them. The law firm they hired turned around and tried to claim the rights to many of their songs and other artistic properties, which resulted in a lengthy court battle that lasted nearly 10 years. Tool couldn't release any new music, or even go on tour until it was settled.
This is why I love music, one of my all time favourites and never interpreted the lyrics this one, love it even more! Oh and your facials, totally feel your facials 😂🙌🏼
This one will get the clicks.
Got mine immediately.
"Gonja please!!"
Love your analysis.
Keep the Tool comin'.
Ganja, p-lease (alluding to police).
Love how you really get into the music!!!
Hi. New subscriber here. Came for Ren, staying for Tool. Well that and your genuine, helpful insight. Great channel. Thank you.
🤟🏻🌀🤟🏻
Please!! "RELEASE - PEARL JAM" ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I really appreciate your take on the song. It's a really interesting take on it, and I feel that it suits the tone of the album as a whole. Really cool, thank you.
Love you and love what you're doing. ✌
Please do every Tool song, I dig your insight.
Ma'am you are a professional at underlying the patterns in others; I pray you have the time to see the uniqueness in you. #mentalhealth
"Weeping shades of indigo, shot without a reason." This is like three levels of wordplay to point to a specific societal problem.
Muddy Waters is a band.
@@BubonicCureMuddy Waters was a person not a band
I love the editing in this... Pure genius. "Discrediting" x4...
Cheers
-The Video Editor
I think you might really like one of Maynard’s other bands called “A Perfect Circle”… I’d love to hear your thoughts on a song called Judith. It was named after his mother who suffered a cerebral aneurysm in 1976 which left her confined to a wheelchair. Her faith in a higher power never wavered, but this is his perspective being confounded by his mother’s persistence.
Honestly I’d love to see how you take it. The band itself is amazing, but this song would be a good one for you to react to.
Wisconsin proud 🤘
She might as well just start analyzing tool albums. lol Love this, binged a lot of the tool songs so far. If u haven’t done eulogy or the patient yet, you should! 😁👍👍❤️
Great read. To me the song is also quite directly pointing out the hypocrisy in drug addiction, playing on the double meaning of 'the pot' etc., taking everything you said and placing it in that arena. It's pretty powerful
Great insight. I saw the same message, however I was looking at the finger being pointed toward someone else. I believe your perspective is correct. Great job!
Wings for Marie part 1 and 2 are awesome it's about his mother
This entire album is about his mothers battle with Cancer. She was told by the courts she would loose her health care if she kept using Mary J to help her in the last days of her life. Took doesn’t write songs together, band makes the music, Maynard writes the vocals after the song is complete.
Maynard’s mother died from complications of a stroke she had 27 years earlier. Wings for Marie 1 & 2 are about his mother unwavering dedication and faith in God even after she was forgotten and abandoned by her church after her stroke and the hypocrisy he saw. Vicariously, commentary on societies obsession and selling tragedy to feed people’s morbid fascination with tragedy, death,and destruction and our unending hunger for more as long as it’s not you it’s happening to. Jambi, song about Maynard’s son. The Pot, song clapping back at Jimmy Page for bagging on Tool claiming they used their sound when Led Zeppelin did the same thing, “eye-balls deep in Muddy Waters, f****** hypocrite” referencing Led Zeppelin taking and using the sound of one of the all time great blues artist Muddy Waters music. Lipan Conjuring, album filler Tool is well known for doing this on albums. Lost Keys, set up for Rosetta Stoned. Rosetta Stoned, pure humerus song about first person story of an alien abduction. Right In Two, song about man being blessed with all these amazing gifts to use for good and the well being of all but they use these gifts to gain power, wealth and for selfish evil reasons. Though the albums title 10,000 Days is a reference to how long his mother lived after a very debilitating stroke only two songs on the album, Wings for Marie 1 & 2 are about his mother.
This song was about a DA who was caught running drugs, all the while going hard on people doing lesser drug crimes.
This song and anemena is my favs by them. This one hits with me bc i feel like screaming these lyrics to my mom who is the biggest hypocrite i know.
I love your channel, and I love your reactions and insights. Thank you for doing this.
Please check out Bo Burnham "Can't handle this". He's a little different from your usual videos, but I think your take on it would be amazing.
Bo uses musical comedy to express his MH struggles, but paradoxically his MH can be negatively affected by sharing the way he does. Can't handle this was a heart on sleeve goodbye to his fans before he took a 5 year break from performing live, to work on himself, and it lead to him having a panic attack while performing it. I don't think most people even realized he was having a panic attack, but for those of us who have experienced them, it could be considered one of the bravest performances of all time.
This song The Pot I relate to the media and government big time! Tool Lateralus next please
Smart. Gorgeous. Loves Tool.
You’re a dime. ❤
We still all are lying on the Therapy Bed along with Tool…in this Journey…
I´ve always thought this was about Led Zeppelin... Specially the Muddy Waters reference.
bottom is my favorite song by them
It's cool how you examine a song and then pretend that it's the first time you heard it 🤘
"Discrediting it" reminds me of Stephen Fry's story about how he had problems saying "Harry pocketed it" (his wand) when he was recording the audio book version of Harry Potter. He politely asked JKR if he could change the line. She grinned and said "no", and instead included it in all the following books :)
Insightful.. great reaction!
For anyone in a hospital: The Therapist is the only safe person to tell you have felt pain to... Heal.
Personal accountability applied as a template for worldly expectations. Behaving in a manner that you wish to perpetuate. If only all of our motives and desires aligned...
I'm sure someone else also mentioned it already, but "pot" is also another name for weed. So, there are lots of dual meanings here. Indigo, Ganja, weeping shades of cozened indigo, all reference marijuana (pot). :)
Please keep doing TOOL songs dive into the rabbit hole that is TOOL you’ll be left speechless with Maynard’s brilliant mind with his lyrics he’s a genius literally.
You seriously need to do The Grudge. It has to be one of the single most relevant songs for your profession.
The inspiration for this song was a friend of one of the band members was charged with a marijuana drug charge and later down the line, the judge that charged him was caught with crack cocaine and a prostitute.
