This was my mom's favorite song. When she was in the hospital, unable to talk or really communicate, I put this song on for her and she squeezed my hand SO TIGHTLY and I watched as tears fell out of the corners of her eyes. This song will forever remind me of my mother, and that moment.
The greatest lyric ever composed for sure, not only is it beautifully and uniquely worded, but this lyric works from both a religious and non-religious perspective. A religious person may say how could you ignore the majesty of god and heaven and all its eternity for your short life on earth. Whereas a non-religious person could see this as, why would you waste your gaze to the stars as a search for non existent paradise instead of awing in the wonder of the universe.
@@Lilac_n_Cherry It basically means that we should embrace this one blessed chance to be alive and not spend our limited time here causing harm, negativity and destruction and learn to love everyone despite our differences and beliefs because at the end of the day, we are all here for a blink of an eye. Might aswell make the most out of it
@@Lilac_n_Cherry What makes this sentence so good is that 'squander" can both mean "to waste an opportunity", as in, not use the chance to do something, but it can also mean "to over-use something and achieve little or no results". Now, as Grandjapon said, from a religious perspective, the meaning is this: "It is wrong not to look at the sky and and to ignore at the eternal glory of God, if you know that you're just a mortal" But from an atheist perspective it's this: "It is wrong to waste your time looking at the sky in search of a God if you know that you're just a mortal". Does that clear it up?
@@Lilac_n_Cherry It means we are constantly spinning and weaving round each new experience . We must recognize this as a holy gift and celebrate this chance to be alive and breathing.
No Truer words ever spoken then these "repugnant is the creature who would squander the ability to lift an eye towards heaven consious of his fleeting time here." Absolutely Absolutely brilliant
ain't it so, thank you warrior, it can be tough, to see and feel. we keep on keeping on, and bcz we're not looking for the start of the end; it's already been and will continue to the end and then, we will begin to start again,,,,,,,,
Ah Man, here I sit jammin to Tool again, I'm 66 years old and been a Toolhead since Opiate. Got no one to share this phenomenal music, no one to talk bout the experience of hearing this song for the 1,000th time. I like it!
I feel ya I used to say I wish I lived in the good ole days. I can honestly say I certainly did!!! I think the days of lifetime bands with any meaning are a sad part of history. I don’t know where This new me spirit came from but is all about greed, this new generation have lost the ability or desire to think No deep thought. Sad they will never truly know how to chill with friends, pounder life. People were a lot closer, a friend was a so much more than what a friend is today. Those were the days when we enjoyed life and enjoyed sharing our lives, a friend was like a brother.
West Detroit....and Maynard grew up in MIchigan, for a good part of his life. Skied with his dad. I tell folks, Pink Floyd makes you wonder, TOOL makes you THINK.
This song brings me closer to god. I know tool isn’t exactly the most Christian band, but I think this song helps me to humble myself and realize our mistakes. Time and time again I deny my creator. The one that gave me this beautiful life. The creator of this beautiful planet. The beautiful starts in space and time. And he still gives me numerous chances to better myself and stand by him in his kingdom. Despite my unworthiness. Glory to Yahweh. Please forgive us for our disobedience. I would also like to thank you lord. For always giving us a chance to prove ourselves faithful, despite our evil and selfish nature. I wish to see you in your kingdom and serve you eternally alongside my brothers and sisters in Christ. Amen to the most high.
Our blessed lord can use even the most staunch critics of his existence to carry out his will. This band is describing exactly why God sent his only son, our blessed Lord, to die for mankind's sin. Without Jesus.. we are lost and cut off from the glory of god.
"Repugnant is a creature who would squander the ability to lift an eye to heaven, conscious of his fleeting time here." Only Maynard could fit such a sentence into a song, perfectly rhythmically and melodically.
My mom died from cancer during the pandemic and I couldn't be there ...I've always had a deep emotional connection with tool and apc and they're music. I instantly started crying when I read your experience and I realized that feeling these emotions through your experience helped me immensely, greatly and magically spiral onwards towards infinity. This wasn't expected but I thank you more than you could ever imagine and I expect that I am destined to pass an equally magical experience to someone else who will cherish the moment and realize how little time we have to be here alive and breathing. Thank you
It starts off slow and simple, then it goes hard, and ends soft and simple. It's just what evil does. It starts off I'm infancy, and eventually destroys itself bringing it back to serenity. Songs that point this out are heaven and hell and I can ride my bike with no handlebars.
My dad is 79. I introduced him to Tool today with one of my favorites. He’s hard of hearing so I told him “that’s ok, Tool is best when played loud”. He was just sitting there slowly nodding in time with an amazed look on his face.
My grandma is 91, I play guitar and sing for her at least once a week. She was a fantastic opera singer, then singing teacher, but just can’t sing anymore due to her age. Her favourite cover I do is ‘Sober’. I don’t do it gently. Good music is good music.
Your dad at 79 has no idea how lucky he is to listen to probably the best band in the galaxy, my dad is 58 and said to me "I would probably love them guys if I just found the time" 🤣 I'm going to keep trying to find him that time to listen to these gods of music because he won't regret it
Most incredibly talented music and lyric writers hands down. I’m 51 and have seen so many bands and listened to so many. I feel absolutely privileged to have grown up with Tool and their incredible music. So deep and makes you think. No sheep here, only incredible minds and talent, bar none. Thank you Tool your music has gotten me through so much!!
6:25 is like that part of an extraordinarily edgy fight scene where the choreography is so realistic that you don't know if the protagonist is going to survive, but then he starts getting the upperhand
The drum build up from 4:05 - 5:24 is absolutely insane! I remember hearing this song for the first time stoned & listening to drums while the entire song built! The way Danny brings in the Toms at the end just before the distorted guitar hits, I remember jumping out of my seat in excitement! Couldn't believe what I just heard! Tool Are Band In The World......PERIOD!!!!
That's the great thing about Tool...you've heard a song a 100 times before, but on that 101st time, you're still hearing something new, something you hadn't noticed before!
This song is so majestic, ethereal, alluring, aching, transcending.....TOOL at their very best. There will NEVER be anyone who even comes close to their perfection. Simply divine.
an older friend introduced me to tool when I was 15, I'm almost 18 now. I read comments from older people saying how they've just discovered tool, and wished they discovered it earlier. my life has just started, but I feel a deep sense of gratitude, because I know that through the highs and lows that i will face, I will have one of the greatest works of art to turn to.
I was born in 1983 and discovered them right around 1995 so just a couple of years after their first full length album. Kind of “lost touch” with their music for a while after that (not sure why) but rediscovered them in my late 30s and now I listen to them daily!
I've been listening to them for close to 30 years. Puscifer is great too. Undertow plays loud enough the neighbors complain. Tell them just enjoy the tunes.
wishing you well on your journey. For me, at 46, I have always been deeply plugged into powerful music and would not do it differently if I could. I found tool when I was in high school in the early 90s and fell in love instantly. May you find healing when you need it, power when it serves you, and a wisdom that takes many a lifetime to understand. This music is what you make of it. It can be fun to listen to and it can change your life in ways you may not understand at your age. Welcome aboard!
Of course putin wants to do the opposite, rather than divide in two he wants it _all_ for himself, spoilt little brat that he is. It's because there are others like him, though, that things get ripped in two.
Agreed, I've heard em all. For some reason I listen to this one the most! I love it, all music made by them is a masterpiece in some point of your life. I just can't help but play this one over & over. I could listen to it on repeat all day ever day SERIOUSLY!!
I saw both of them live, with Linkin Park, at Epicenter in Southern California, in 2009. Alice In Chains was incredible live. Chester was, Chester. I took his first name as my middle name. TOOL was insane, as Maynard had broken his leg, but still came to the festival. That is the only time I have seen Maynard perform in front of Danny, Adam, and Justin. He never does.
I'd like to believe Maynard would respect my reply here. Man was God's slaves, we freed ourselves from his chains only to allow man to create another god to bow before "Government". We are only free when we let go of all the chains and imaginary boundaries we create
I can remember that feeling I got; the first time I heard Tool. Being 14. Walking through the living room with MTV on. Sober comes on…and I’m drawn towards the tv like a moth to a flame. Caught up in the sound; mesmerized by the video…Feeling something..different. Part of me thought it was Magical. And all of me realized it was just; Necessary. Needed in the world. Needed in my world. This song; gave me the same feeling the first time I heard it too. That’s all. ❤️ much love.
i got into tool back in ther 90's and the first song of theres heard was sober so mezmerizing that im still listening to them to this day, and until i die.
I don't believe for one second that these four musical geniuses just happened to find each other. No, they were brought together by a powerful force that is far greater than we can even imagine. And it has proven this by giving us TOOL. THE MOST INCREDIBLE, UNTOUCHABLE BAND OF ALL TIME AND BEYOND
That's the beauty of the universe. Itself is the force that creates the causes and effects for great beauty to happen, the right people to meet, and the correct circumstances for our imaginations to run wild. We CAN imagine it, see it, if we simply open our minds.
I just realized today that this song is about Solomon's trial, in which two women both claimed to be the mother of the same child. Solomon threatened to cut the child in half and give each woman one half. The women's (or rather, one of the women's) sin was thinking it was all about themselves, rather than seeing themselves as part of a greater whole. The true mother understood this intuitively, and gave up the child so that the child could at least live (Solomon then gave the child to the real mother). But the two women are just a metaphor. The whole world is clamoring for ownership over a planet that fundamentally isn't theirs, thinking it's all about themselves. It's petty and pathetic, and so, to give perspective, Maynard borrows from Solomon and suggests: "cut it all right in two."
@@thomasdecorail8825 The Pot? Jambi? Wings II? Whole album is wild and should be listened to from start to finish, as each track only has its true impact when it’s listened to with what preceded it, and what is to follow it. Not many albums achieve this.
No. It was done, packaged and ready in 2009. Maynerd was unsure of himself and that it was all it could be, so he held off releasing for an extra 10 yrs. I heard him say all this in an interview somewhere, right before FI was released
On one hand I'm very envious of future generations that will have all of Tool's music available, but on the other I'm glad to be alive now. New Tool album is one of the things to live for.
This is easily the most underrated song on this album. I never hear anyone mention this song, yet it's on an entirely different level. And that groove that kicks at 6:45 to 7:10....damn!
They are aliens, this is the most trippy and everlasting music that someone said does not age, or go out, its just getting better. The riffs and drum sections, from tribal to just pure heavy druming, with out of world sequences and timmings, you just loose your self in this easily. Great stuff:) This was my band in 90s when i dreamed of drumming this band songs, and now is 2024 and still listnening, and breaking my brain when trying to drum along. This is my evergreen band. So glad i managed to se them few times live.
Tool taught me what true good music sounds like. You guys have got to be the most intelligent musicians in the world. Your music has given me a broader perspective of reality. It has lead me in a better direction in life and I feel as if it could do the same for many others.
UHMMM....IVYnever had a 🎶 less son???IN my eyes way of thin king..lest hits maker me a lessors writer of songs, 4 eye wood have "limitations" parameters then...ORE was eye just lazy....A LITTLE OF BOTH!!!!GOD IS GOOD.
Opiate - The scared and confused angry child. Undertow - The child has grown, and is still not happy. Facing and beginning to fight his problems. Ænima - He's still fighting, figuring things out. Still in pain, but he can see the other side now. Lateralus - He isn't quite at peace yet, but he's past the nitty gritty. He's growing and finding himself in the world and the cosmos. Exploring his spirituality. 10,000 Days - He now thinks back, and watching the present day. He, once knowing the pain and struggle the people of earth face understands whats happening. He chastises, tutors and tries to guide people in the right way. Yes, this album is spiritual but, it is very earth focused. (Mostly). For to further your spiritual path, you must first understand your earthly self. Without a ground to stand on, you cannot fight like he has. Fear Inoculum - He's begun to move past his pain now, and continues to guide those around him. He teaches the lessons and learns them along side us. Tool is a personal journey to me, this is what I've gathered so far. (Or some of what I've gathered) (I left out their tape before Opiate because it's basically Opiate with less quality. Still like it tho) Edit: Glad to see there’s some similar outlooks out here. Tool’s always gonna have a special spot in my heart
Have you ever given Pink Floyd a spin? I don’t know your age I’m 59 it’s a different sound but full of tools interpretations of the human experience! Mellow with truth just as beautiful . The yin to yang those two bands cover it all with power and emotions . It will fit any mood you find yourself in :)
check out Maynard's side band, Puscifer. I was 50/50 on them until i saw them at Sonic Festival this year and now im sold. Awesome band, even more artsy than Tool is... maybe a bit to much, or maybe im just a naive fan still XD
This track gives me goosebumps, what an apt track about humanity and what a crisis it is. Yet again Keenan nails it! Why did father give these humans free will, now they all confused, I've asked that question myself. Deep and true. Timeless masterpiece.
This is one of the most powerful songs ever written. I’ve listened to it over a hundred times and it still gives me chills listening to it and understanding what it means. Such a masterpiece. Never gets old
In my opinion it's their best album by a mile, and this is my favorite song of theirs PERIOD. I don't know how anyone can call themselves a tool fan and say they don't like this album
Albums are always like that, the best songs hide and grow on you, hold meaning after some real life experiences that suddenly make a song just hit you completely different.
@@SuperRayW its prog. isnt the whole point to be artsy and use stuff that metal bands/artists dont? for example, BTBAM's new song Revolution in limbo. it has a mariachi-esque guitar solo and bridge
Not goin to lie the new album was great but here wasnt nearly as emotion as in other songs maynerd has sung in like even eat the elephant seemed more emotional plz dont smack me in the head with a bottle
Today, this song is more relevant that it ever has been. "Repugnant is the creature who squanders the ability to lift an eye to heaven, conscious of it's fleeting time here"
Oh shit, here we go again. Yep, we, russian, only want to see the world in fire. Such a pity, you've found it out and reveal our secret. With a LITTLE...such a LITTLE... help of mass media. Bravo.
@@LexXaoc this is not what the comment is about but trough what you say you kind of make it about you. That the big and powerful start senless wars over petty and vile reasons is the problem. But we repeat those patterns in small ways again and again. You could have said that you feel this song and are angry at f. E. Putin but you took it with the worst interpretation possible without thinking about the true meaning
I agree but hey, they are the ones missing out. We try to tell the world about the greatness of TOOL. If they don't want to take the advice, i've got three words for em'... LEARN TO SWIM!!🤙

I’m not personally into any religion and I don’t have any beliefs but I certainly do love the moral teachings from them. What a great song and Maynard’s lyrics are so wise and perfectly written. He’s absolutely right in his criticism of human nature and behaviour. A true masterpiece!❤
As soon as I played this song the neighbor's canary bird began to sing in synch. I think Tool won another fan, even birds can't escape from loving their music!
I think the most intense experience of my life was listening to this song. First time doing acid around 2 hours into the trip I put this song on the tv with the album cover full screen. I accidentally put it on repeat (best decision ever made) and sat listening to it for an hour watching the pattern on the face shift and change, I quite literally felt my body ascend. This song had forever been changed for me, such a masterpiece
Hell yeah same for me all of tool did. it changed me for ever!I was at tool concert .I had some on a sugar cube.Best experience ever I will never forget it.
There aren't too many shortcuts in life that don't double back on yourself. But good psychedelics with great music opens new pathways in the mind. If you have guardians like mine, those pathways provide safety when trauma and Brother Death come looking for your soul.
@@That_Guy_Says_Hi couldn’t have said it better myself, music is one of the most beautiful things on this earth, pairing it with good psychedelics can make it truly an experience that will stay with you for the rest of your life
Have you got a job and become a productive member of society to help your other ascended brothers and sisters or do you just mean you got an inflated sense of self worth and now refuse to do anything worthwhile
@@BayandurPogosyan It was, some classical composers tuned to A=432Hz, but now there are uploads of songs that are edited to the pitch of 432Hz and people get the placebo effect, thinking that the 432Hz version sounds better or some go the extra mile and straight up believe that they feel more relaxed or focused when listening to the 432Hz version. There's some very limited evidence and theories that suggest that 432Hz is the most resonant frequency with the Universe or something like that. It's all a hoax and a placebo, basically. While A=432Hz does have an effect and it does bring a more mellow quality as opposed to A=440Hz, the instruments themselves must be tuned to A=432Hz, which is not the same as changing the pitch from A=440Hz to A=432Hz in software. Same principle as slowing down a song in software and playing it at a slower tempo.
@@darkySp all evidence I've seen is that frequency resonance is more dependent on the acoustics than anything else. Just play different pitches at a high enough volume in different rooms, and you'll see what I mean. The rest of it, yeah, it does affect the character of the sound in a small way, but it also might make it sound a bit out of tune. Also, you're right, most people do not understand musical instruments don't produce a fixed-frequency sound wave you can just manipulate, there's a lot of overtones and other stuff that goes into the body of the sound, and just changing the frequency does not recompose the body, it just shifts it.
As I listen to this song while leaving my family, friends, and girlfriend behind in Syria, I am overwhelmed with a mix of emotions. The haunting melody and lyrics seem to perfectly capture the intense feelings of loss and separation that I am experiencing. The lyrics "Angels on the sideline, Puzzled and amused, Why did Father give these humans free will?" hit particularly hard, as I struggle to understand why we must be torn apart by war and conflict, and why we must suffer such great pain and loss. At the same time, the song's message of unity and the call to "divide and fall in the end" offer a glimmer of hope, reminding me that we are all connected in some way and that perhaps someday we will find a way to overcome our differences and come together as one. Overall, listening to this song while leaving behind everything I know and love is a difficult and emotional experience, but I hope that it will help me find some sense of peace and comfort during this challenging time.
Well, you have recently found one of the best bands ever, so congrats. Now do whatever you can to catch Tool live on this latest tour. You’re welcome in advance.
Tool has opened me up tremendously and spiritually over the years. I can’t tell you how many purely magical experiences I’ve had listening to their music, not to mention while seeing them in concert twice in the early aughts. Their music has helped me burst wide open and discover abilities… Tool is simply unparalleled in my world.
Right in Two Lyrics [Verse 1] Angels on the sideline Puzzled and amused Why did Father give these humans free will? Now they're all confused [Chorus 1] Don't these talking monkeys know that Eden has enough to go around? Plenty in this holy garden, silly monkeys Where there's one you're bound to divide it Right in two [Verse 2] Angels on the sideline Baffled and confused Father blessed them all with reason And this is what they choose? (This is what they choose) [Chorus 2] Monkey killing monkey killing monkey over pieces of the ground Silly monkeys, give them thumbs, they forge a blade And where there's one they're bound to divide it Right in two Right in two [Chorus 3] Monkey killing monkey killing monkey over pieces of the ground Silly monkeys, give them thumbs, they make a club and beat their brother down How they've survived so misguided is a mystery Repugnant is a creature who would squander the ability To lift an eye to heaven, conscious of his fleeting time here [Bridge 1] Cut and divide it all right in two Cut and divide it all right in two Cut and divide it all right in two Cut and divide it all right in two [Interlude] [Bridge 2] Fight over the clouds, over wind, over sky and Fight over life, over blood, over air and light Over love, over sun, over another Fight for the time, for the one, for the rise and [Verse 3] Angels on the sideline again Benched along with patience and reason Angels on the sideline again Wondering where this tug of war will end [Outro] Cut and divide it all right in two Cut and divide it all right in two Cut and divide it all right in two Right in two Right in two
nah it wasn't underrated, any smart tool fan will tell you that each album was better than the previous, so fear inoculum should be better than 10,000 days
CageFightingNuns Underated by whom? Not Tool fans, surely. Perhaps fans of Michael Bolton or...Stryper. So I guess I'm agreeing in a roundabout way, an incredible album that has helped me get through the past 13 years.
I always think of them as two sides of the same coin. Lateralus is a celebration of the elation that comes with one transcending the limitations of human society. 10,000 Days is the somber acceptance that comes when one realizing that one must still coexist with said society until it can catch up to you.

This song does not get the appreciation it deserves.
One of my top 5 favorite Tool songs.
It certainly does in my home
If there were a song they didn't play this last tour...that I would wish they had more than any other - it'd be this
Agreed, 100% in my top 5... there is just something about it. No matter how many listens, powerful and fantastic!
I get it, but really? The Grudge, 46&2, Aenima, Lateralus, sober, schism are all a higher tier IMO.
Top 3..
This was my mom's favorite song. When she was in the hospital, unable to talk or really communicate, I put this song on for her and she squeezed my hand SO TIGHTLY and I watched as tears fell out of the corners of her eyes. This song will forever remind me of my mother, and that moment.

Tool is like wine. Everytime i get back into them, it hits different and generally better
That's very true! Or like a 25 year old scotch!
wine sucks tool doesn't get it right
So true!! I just saw them last Saturday and have newly become obsessed…I have no words.

I was just telling my friends about it’s brilliance. Maynard’s a genius.

No one to talk to? You got a few thousand folk right here feeling the same way as you, friend!
jammin right here with you brother, keep keepin' on
i'll be there next time i break off a few tabs...
I feel ya I used to say I wish I lived in the good ole days. I can honestly say I certainly did!!! I think the days of lifetime bands with any meaning are a sad part of history. I don’t know where This new me spirit came from but is all about greed, this new generation have lost the ability or desire to think No deep thought. Sad they will never truly know how to chill with friends, pounder life. People were a lot closer, a friend was a so much more than what a friend is today. Those were the days when we enjoyed life and enjoyed sharing our lives, a friend was like a brother.
"Since the first EP"
My favorite song of all time! Just a little girl from the west side of Detroit and in 2023, I’m still listening to this!
Us in a different universe 🎉
me on the west side ✨️
westside Detroit here as well.
West Detroit....and Maynard grew up in MIchigan, for a good part of his life. Skied with his dad. I tell folks, Pink Floyd makes you wonder, TOOL makes you THINK.
Aaaaand now for something completely different:
Y'all Lions are a serious threat!
Coming from Philly :
" BRING IT! "
Omg, this is hilarious!
I love this part from 00:00 to 08:57
Underrated
My only criticism is that from 08:57 to eternity is a bit hard to hear.
Don’t we all !?
Facts
So you like the song?
This song brings me closer to god. I know tool isn’t exactly the most Christian band, but I think this song helps me to humble myself and realize our mistakes. Time and time again I deny my creator. The one that gave me this beautiful life. The creator of this beautiful planet. The beautiful starts in space and time. And he still gives me numerous chances to better myself and stand by him in his kingdom. Despite my unworthiness. Glory to Yahweh. Please forgive us for our disobedience. I would also like to thank you lord. For always giving us a chance to prove ourselves faithful, despite our evil and selfish nature. I wish to see you in your kingdom and serve you eternally alongside my brothers and sisters in Christ. Amen to the most high.
❤
☦☦☦🙏
Our blessed lord can use even the most staunch critics of his existence to carry out his will.
This band is describing exactly why God sent his only son, our blessed Lord, to die for mankind's sin. Without Jesus.. we are lost and cut off from the glory of god.
As a fellow Christian, I'm fully standing in agreement with you on this. This song has always had a "sermon-like" feel for me.

"Repugnant is a creature who would squander the ability to lift an eye to heaven, conscious of his fleeting time here." Only Maynard could fit such a sentence into a song, perfectly rhythmically and melodically.
True.
The best line in the song
Usted no escuchó a Björk.
In Earth lore, this seems to be Lucifer's take on humanity - and why he hates us so.
Best line ever
My mom died from cancer during the pandemic and I couldn't be there ...I've always had a deep emotional connection with tool and apc and they're music. I instantly started crying when I read your experience and I realized that feeling these emotions through your experience helped me immensely, greatly and magically spiral onwards towards infinity. This wasn't expected but I thank you more than you could ever imagine and I expect that I am destined to pass an equally magical experience to someone else who will cherish the moment and realize how little time we have to be here alive and breathing. Thank you
Play your cards right and you'll live forever.....
You don't just listen to this. You experience it.
Anything that has anything to do with Tool is an experience.
I'm just here for the experience.
@@francyssscarlett1757 even Hooker with a Penis?
Tool is an experience. No other artist except maybe Hans Zimmer can take control of mind and body the way Tool does.
Musically it starts off soft, quiet and beautiful. Eventually goes into brutally flawless. Seamlessly.
It starts off slow and simple, then it goes hard, and ends soft and simple. It's just what evil does. It starts off I'm infancy, and eventually destroys itself bringing it back to serenity. Songs that point this out are heaven and hell and I can ride my bike with no handlebars.
Key word of survival- brutal...tradegy, elation, pain, numbness..
You could say it's cut right in two
Only Tool is mastering this
This album won a Grammy for best recording package, and The Pot won best hard rock performance.
Been coming back to this one more than I'd like recently...
Tool truly speaks what many of us can't really put into words. Bless this bands music
It is a great depiction of how brutal and trivial we are toward each other.
This song is a masterpiece.
Have you seen the version of a short movie called the gloaming with this song put too it?its as if its the video to this song .its brilliant .

Late to work for it
Damn right lol
I get in the car to hear this masterpiece
My dad is 79. I introduced him to Tool today with one of my favorites. He’s hard of hearing so I told him “that’s ok, Tool is best when played loud”. He was just sitting there slowly nodding in time with an amazed look on his face.
💙
That's so cool.
My grandma is 91, I play guitar and sing for her at least once a week. She was a fantastic opera singer, then singing teacher, but just can’t sing anymore due to her age. Her favourite cover I do is ‘Sober’. I don’t do it gently.
Good music is good music.
Your dad at 79 has no idea how lucky he is to listen to probably the best band in the galaxy, my dad is 58 and said to me "I would probably love them guys if I just found the time" 🤣 I'm going to keep trying to find him that time to listen to these gods of music because he won't regret it
@@LeapFrog_Radio ?
Most incredibly talented music and lyric writers hands down. I’m 51 and have seen so many bands and listened to so many. I feel absolutely privileged to have grown up with Tool and their incredible music. So deep and makes you think. No sheep here, only incredible minds and talent, bar none. Thank you Tool your music has gotten me through so much!!
Dude yes I'm privileged to have lived along with MJK.
Namaste
6:25 is like that part of an extraordinarily edgy fight scene where the choreography is so realistic that you don't know if the protagonist is going to survive, but then he starts getting the upperhand
56 years of music and i love TOOL also. Music should always take you on a journey, and if it doesn't too bad soo sad.
No sheep here? Shit this song sounds like christian preaching to me
Tool is probably the best band of all time
Yes they are BRILLIANT!!!!!!
Only wrong word is "probably" cheers
I cannot think of better.
Valid comments get likes,
Maynard is a lyrical genius.
This song, perhaps unfortunately, will never be irrelevant.
I love how Danny sneaks into the composure of this song. Everything he touches turns to gold.
I'm glad I never started playing drums cuz I would have given up after hearing Danny and all that time would have been wasted.........
Everything that each one of them touches turns to gold, platinum and buckets of jewels.🎉🎉🎉
Danny composes a lot of their songs ;)
Danny composes dark matter, and in turn matter forms this song
The drum build up from 4:05 - 5:24 is absolutely insane! I remember hearing this song for the first time stoned & listening to drums while the entire song built! The way Danny brings in the Toms at the end just before the distorted guitar hits, I remember jumping out of my seat in excitement! Couldn't believe what I just heard! Tool Are Band In The World......PERIOD!!!!
The part starting at 5:43 is equally amazing.
Yes. They are a band in the world LMAO
That's the great thing about Tool...you've heard a song a 100 times before, but on that 101st time, you're still hearing something new, something you hadn't noticed before!
Это да! Каждый раз находишь что то новое😮
Try to keep your ear on Justin, the boys do a good job of distracting you. lol But I'm hearing Justin do stuff real ninja shiz in the background
This song is so majestic, ethereal, alluring, aching, transcending.....TOOL at their very best. There will NEVER be anyone who even comes close to their perfection. Simply divine.

whatever schism is from i forgot
an older friend introduced me to tool when I was 15, I'm almost 18 now. I read comments from older people saying how they've just discovered tool, and wished they discovered it earlier.
my life has just started, but I feel a deep sense of gratitude, because I know that through the highs and lows that i will face, I will have one of the greatest works of art to turn to.
Welcome to your awakening.
I was born in 1983 and discovered them right around 1995 so just a couple of years after their first full length album. Kind of “lost touch” with their music for a while after that (not sure why) but rediscovered them in my late 30s and now I listen to them daily!
Damn I'm turning 15 in just a few months just discovered them with this song by hearing it in the background of a cool video
I've been listening to them for close to 30 years. Puscifer is great too. Undertow plays loud enough the neighbors complain. Tell them just enjoy the tunes.
wishing you well on your journey. For me, at 46, I have always been deeply plugged into powerful music and would not do it differently if I could. I found tool when I was in high school in the early 90s and fell in love instantly. May you find healing when you need it, power when it serves you, and a wisdom that takes many a lifetime to understand. This music is what you make of it. It can be fun to listen to and it can change your life in ways you may not understand at your age. Welcome aboard!
Tool is the band that let's me know the spiritual and physical side if reality that we fail to see without self realization.... Love from Nepal

Both Alice and chains and tool are my favorites. They stand out from anyone else.
100% same here!
I’m not hating. I love Alice and Chains but they don’t compare to these masterminds.
@@lphipps1986can’t agree with that they’re both incredible for different reasons
Yes but in no way are they comparable to each other
I saw both of them live, with Linkin Park, at Epicenter in Southern California, in 2009. Alice In Chains was incredible live. Chester was, Chester. I took his first name as my middle name. TOOL was insane, as Maynard had broken his leg, but still came to the festival. That is the only time I have seen Maynard perform in front of Danny, Adam, and Justin. He never does.

@@christurner4542 preach!
I can remember that feeling I got; the first time I heard Tool. Being 14. Walking through the living room with MTV on. Sober comes on…and I’m drawn towards the tv like a moth to a flame. Caught up in the sound; mesmerized by the video…Feeling something..different. Part of me thought it was Magical. And all of me realized it was just; Necessary. Needed in the world. Needed in my world. This song; gave me the same feeling the first time I heard it too. That’s all. ❤️ much love.
i got into tool back in ther 90's and the first song of theres heard was sober so mezmerizing that im still listening to them to this day, and until i die.
And then MTV followed up with the latest Dojacat video bringing everything crashing to earth.
I don't believe for one second that these four musical geniuses just happened to find each other. No, they were brought together by a powerful force that is far greater than we can even imagine. And it has proven this by giving us TOOL. THE MOST INCREDIBLE, UNTOUCHABLE BAND OF ALL TIME AND BEYOND
That's the beauty of the universe. Itself is the force that creates the causes and effects for great beauty to happen, the right people to meet, and the correct circumstances for our imaginations to run wild. We CAN imagine it, see it, if we simply open our minds.

This is one of the greatest songs ever created. Long live *TOOL*
Tool is the best Rock band ever in my opinion
I just realized today that this song is about Solomon's trial, in which two women both claimed to be the mother of the same child. Solomon threatened to cut the child in half and give each woman one half. The women's (or rather, one of the women's) sin was thinking it was all about themselves, rather than seeing themselves as part of a greater whole. The true mother understood this intuitively, and gave up the child so that the child could at least live (Solomon then gave the child to the real mother).
But the two women are just a metaphor. The whole world is clamoring for ownership over a planet that fundamentally isn't theirs, thinking it's all about themselves. It's petty and pathetic, and so, to give perspective, Maynard borrows from Solomon and suggests: "cut it all right in two."
I also think its about the duality of man in general, inspired by that. If you watch the video. It's everything

This is easily the most underrated song on this album. I never hear anyone mention this song, yet it's on an entirely different level. And that groove that kicks at 6:45 to 7:10....damn!
You are a true too fan i swear!
My favourite track from this album - closest contender is the "Wings" double feature, which is also monumental imho.
One of the most beautiful songs ever written, recorded, and played live flawlessly in the history of music.
🙏🏻💎💎💎🧘♂️☸️
They are aliens, this is the most trippy and everlasting music that someone said does not age, or go out, its just getting better. The riffs and drum sections, from tribal to just pure heavy druming, with out of world sequences and timmings, you just loose your self in this easily. Great stuff:) This was my band in 90s when i dreamed of drumming this band songs, and now is 2024 and still listnening, and breaking my brain when trying to drum along. This is my evergreen band. So glad i managed to se them few times live.
Man this song gives me strength when I feel my weakest I'm 59 and waiting for the cancer ax to fall it helps me to hang on
Hope your still enjoying Tool Dennis…

Opiate - The scared and confused angry child.
Undertow - The child has grown, and is still not happy. Facing and beginning to fight his problems.
Ænima - He's still fighting, figuring things out. Still in pain, but he can see the other side now.
Lateralus - He isn't quite at peace yet, but he's past the nitty gritty. He's growing and finding himself in the world and the cosmos.
Exploring his spirituality.
10,000 Days - He now thinks back, and watching the present day. He, once knowing the pain and struggle the people of earth face understands whats happening. He chastises, tutors and tries to guide people in the right way. Yes, this album is spiritual but, it is very earth focused. (Mostly). For to further your spiritual path, you must first understand your earthly self. Without a ground to stand on, you cannot fight like he has.
Fear Inoculum - He's begun to move past his pain now, and continues to guide those around him. He teaches the lessons and learns them along side us.
Tool is a personal journey to me, this is what I've gathered so far. (Or some of what I've gathered)
(I left out their tape before Opiate because it's basically Opiate with less quality. Still like it tho)
Edit: Glad to see there’s some similar outlooks out here. Tool’s always gonna have a special spot in my heart

Have you ever given Pink Floyd a spin? I don’t know your age I’m 59 it’s a different sound but full of tools interpretations of the human experience! Mellow with truth just as beautiful . The yin to yang those two bands cover it all with power and emotions . It will fit any mood you find yourself in :)
check out Maynard's side band, Puscifer. I was 50/50 on them until i saw them at Sonic Festival this year and now im sold. Awesome band, even more artsy than Tool is... maybe a bit to much, or maybe im just a naive fan still XD
This track gives me goosebumps, what an apt track about humanity and what a crisis it is. Yet again Keenan nails it! Why did father give these humans free will, now they all confused, I've asked that question myself. Deep and true. Timeless masterpiece.
This is one of the most powerful songs ever written. I’ve listened to it over a hundred times and it still gives me chills listening to it and understanding what it means. Such a masterpiece. Never gets old
I don't understand why so many people don't like this album. It actually might be my favorite.
In my opinion it's their best album by a mile, and this is my favorite song of theirs PERIOD. I don't know how anyone can call themselves a tool fan and say they don't like this album
It's definitely my favorite
it's the tracks that are just wind chimes and rain sticks; every Tool album has SOME unforgivably artsy bullshit.
Albums are always like that, the best songs hide and grow on you, hold meaning after some real life experiences that suddenly make a song just hit you completely different.

If anyone is interested, TOOL tunes their guitar and bass to a frequency of 444hz not 440. If they can’t get the sound just right
Thank you!
I was expecting this to be one of those dreamy, pretentiously spiritual comments about 432Hz resonating with their G-spot or something.
@@darkySp wasn't it just a competing standard. After all, you need two instruments to be in tune with each other.
@@BayandurPogosyan It was, some classical composers tuned to A=432Hz, but now there are uploads of songs that are edited to the pitch of 432Hz and people get the placebo effect, thinking that the 432Hz version sounds better or some go the extra mile and straight up believe that they feel more relaxed or focused when listening to the 432Hz version.
There's some very limited evidence and theories that suggest that 432Hz is the most resonant frequency with the Universe or something like that. It's all a hoax and a placebo, basically.
While A=432Hz does have an effect and it does bring a more mellow quality as opposed to A=440Hz, the instruments themselves must be tuned to A=432Hz, which is not the same as changing the pitch from A=440Hz to A=432Hz in software. Same principle as slowing down a song in software and playing it at a slower tempo.
@@darkySp all evidence I've seen is that frequency resonance is more dependent on the acoustics than anything else. Just play different pitches at a high enough volume in different rooms, and you'll see what I mean.
The rest of it, yeah, it does affect the character of the sound in a small way, but it also might make it sound a bit out of tune.
Also, you're right, most people do not understand musical instruments don't produce a fixed-frequency sound wave you can just manipulate, there's a lot of overtones and other stuff that goes into the body of the sound, and just changing the frequency does not recompose the body, it just shifts it.
As I listen to this song while leaving my family, friends, and girlfriend behind in Syria, I am overwhelmed with a mix of emotions. The haunting melody and lyrics seem to perfectly capture the intense feelings of loss and separation that I am experiencing.
The lyrics "Angels on the sideline, Puzzled and amused, Why did Father give these humans free will?" hit particularly hard, as I struggle to understand why we must be torn apart by war and conflict, and why we must suffer such great pain and loss.
At the same time, the song's message of unity and the call to "divide and fall in the end" offer a glimmer of hope, reminding me that we are all connected in some way and that perhaps someday we will find a way to overcome our differences and come together as one.
Overall, listening to this song while leaving behind everything I know and love is a difficult and emotional experience, but I hope that it will help me find some sense of peace and comfort during this challenging time.
very well said...
One day we monkeys will see each other as brothers and sisters... I wish you find your peace ❤
Recently started appreciating Tool. This is first time hearing this. It makes me wonder what else I am missing. WOW
Make sure you give Maynards other bands a shot while you're at it - Pusifer and A Perfect Circle
Well, you have recently found one of the best bands ever, so congrats. Now do whatever you can to catch Tool live on this latest tour. You’re welcome in advance.
Everything.

One of the best band to take u on a musical adventure ...love tool..
Absolutely incredible- the energy it provokes makes me feel alive
Tool has opened me up tremendously and spiritually over the years. I can’t tell you how many purely magical experiences I’ve had listening to their music, not to mention while seeing them in concert twice in the early aughts. Their music has helped me burst wide open and discover abilities… Tool is simply unparalleled in my world.
"How they survive so misguided is a mistery... "
So perfect...
Mystery *
This is one of these Songs i think everybody should hear.
Peace Keeper i cannot disagree with your statement at all.
If more people could grasp the message of this song, society would change.
I dont think people can understand though. Its part of the human condition
It is a good song
I dont think even half of the worlds population would understand
Peace Keeper
Requires to much work.
Most want easy.
The proper way to build a progression. 10/10. Perfection.
This song is even more relevant now than it was upon first release
Ever since one Oct 7th
One of the greatest songs of all time. Perfectly encapsulates human civilization.
Right in Two Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Angels on the sideline
Puzzled and amused
Why did Father give these humans free will?
Now they're all confused
[Chorus 1]
Don't these talking monkeys know that Eden has enough to go around?
Plenty in this holy garden, silly monkeys
Where there's one you're bound to divide it
Right in two
[Verse 2]
Angels on the sideline
Baffled and confused
Father blessed them all with reason
And this is what they choose?
(This is what they choose)
[Chorus 2]
Monkey killing monkey killing monkey over pieces of the ground
Silly monkeys, give them thumbs, they forge a blade
And where there's one they're bound to divide it
Right in two
Right in two
[Chorus 3]
Monkey killing monkey killing monkey over pieces of the ground
Silly monkeys, give them thumbs, they make a club and beat their brother down
How they've survived so misguided is a mystery
Repugnant is a creature who would squander the ability
To lift an eye to heaven, conscious of his fleeting time here
[Bridge 1]
Cut and divide it all right in two
Cut and divide it all right in two
Cut and divide it all right in two
Cut and divide it all right in two
[Interlude]
[Bridge 2]
Fight over the clouds, over wind, over sky and
Fight over life, over blood, over air and light
Over love, over sun, over another
Fight for the time, for the one, for the rise and
[Verse 3]
Angels on the sideline again
Benched along with patience and reason
Angels on the sideline again
Wondering where this tug of war will end
[Outro]
Cut and divide it all right in two
Cut and divide it all right in two
Cut and divide it all right in two
Right in two
Right in two
I would consider bridge 1 and the outro as the chorus and the rest are verses, but that's just how I hear it.
Thanks bud from Canada 🇨🇦!
Thank you Churchdog.
Thank you!
Thank you
This song should be known to the entire human race how often does the relevance of these lyrics show up in existence and future of humanity
Any time you think God has forgotten us, come listen to this, and realize we are the ones who forgot God
Blessed to you Brother
We just realised it was all a big con
lol, what?
Awesome
10,000 days was a massively underrated album. I put it right up there with Lateralus as co-favorite Tool albums.
nah it wasn't underrated, any smart tool fan will tell you that each album was better than the previous, so fear inoculum should be better than 10,000 days
CageFightingNuns Underated by whom? Not Tool fans, surely. Perhaps fans of Michael Bolton or...Stryper.
So I guess I'm agreeing in a roundabout way, an incredible album that has helped me get through the past 13 years.
I always think of them as two sides of the same coin. Lateralus is a celebration of the elation that comes with one transcending the limitations of human society. 10,000 Days is the somber acceptance that comes when one realizing that one must still coexist with said society until it can catch up to you.
IT was underrated because some people felt it was as solid as the previous 3 records.
heres my ranking of their albums
1. Aneima
2.Undertow
3.Fear Innoculum
4.10,000 Days
5. Opiate
6.Lateralus
TOOL is not a Door, TOOL IS A KEY!
