The craziest thing about Tool is that I will walk away from it for a few months, and then come back when I need it in my life. Tool's music literally helps me through hard times. Not trying to sound weird, but it helps me really focus on what's important to me.
It's made me reevaluate other bands. No matter who they are, I'm comparing them to Tool. Fear inoculum is still sounding new to me. The concert tour went great as far as I've heard. What's not to like about these guys.
Exactly. I lost a lot of good ppl recently n it's really always been something I go back to im not a super fan I only saw them live once and I go learn what each song was about when I'm actually going through that dark time too. But well said

I had a very spiritual experience with this song. I used to be bullied and very shy at school. Then I changed a lot and grew to be super happy with myself and my life. One day i was listening to this song on repeat and went by my old school at night. Then I want to the park which is 3 min away and sat on a big hill with a large view of the city. This song was in my headphones and the experience was beyond words. Just sitting, being at peace with the past, looking into the future that i will create for myself with confidence, looking into the city with all the lights of all the people living there, thankful for TOOL´s amazing art.
That’s awesome. I enjoy walking around my neighborhood and revisit certain locations with these songs playing, one of the more notable ones being a bridge that looked really earthy. Needless to say Tool is fucking incredible
Doesn't matter how rough it gets or how down you feel. You put this song on, and you'll feel at ease if only for 5 minutes. So many people could use 5 minutes
You're never truly alone, a whole family nearby, a powerful community of people united by the same interest, feelings, weaknesses... We are all the same, spread love and you'll find out the fight against depression it's much easier

I know a lot of tool fans will say that you can't hear this one without reflection and triad, but I'm good on just disposition tbh. This is one of the most beautiful melodies I've ever heard.
i absolutely love Reflection, it is my favourite song. but i do think disposition stands alone so well. at first listen it seems quite simple, but after every listen i see a different aspect of the song

yoww 1988 welcome. I envy you in a way. This song brings back so many memories, 2001 was quite a beautiful and hellish year. I graduated high school and of course the world changed forever after that fateful day in September. Lots of nights spent listening to this album and thinking deep about life and the interconnection of us all. Deep tracks...
My father died of a heart stroke two years ago. I still can't recover from this but this song represents so much to me and helps me in the healing process.
My father died from suicide 10 years ago and he introduced me to tool at 6 years old in 2006 (when 10k released) I’ve loved it ever since. Haven’t listened to Tool in almost a year and just had my gf break up with me so I guess it’s back to Tool. It reminds me so much of my dad
I am sitting on my balcony, during a tornado watch, drinking my coffee, enjoying the essence. This beautiful art, along with the rawness of mother nature has me almost on my knees. This song is a beautiful creation
This song has saved my life on Numerous occasions.. I'm listening with tears rolling down my face, just not wanting to go on .. I'm a broken individual.. the love for my daughter's outweighs the hate I have for life, so I'll get through it again. Daddy loves you Keirsten and Mackenzie ❤️❤️
Hey mate. I know I am a stranger and idk you but, I know everyone is harshest to themselves and everyone is flawed but everyone is also special and is a light which shines on our world and even if a single one of those lights is taken away then the world will be a bit darker. A bit less hopeful. You seem to love your daughters and also intrinsically have a light within which is very valuable to the world. You have to take care of yourself because you are valuable. I recommend visiting a psychiatrist or a psychologist for help brother. You deserve goodness. We all do. Take care.
@@Prikar1234 ... Thank You for those kind words Sir.. God Bless You.. I was obviously in a Very dark place at that time.. which wasn't very long ago... Lord willing I pulled through again, and I'm in a better space now.. I've always been against talking to a counselor/doctor about my issues, because my outlook is.. how does someone that knows absolutely Nothing about me, think that they can fix me.. I need to get over that, and give it a chance.. I did see a counselor in prison, just because it was a female, and I got to smell her perfume 🤣🤣.. Thanks again for your uplifting words, and if you're interested, maybe I'll drop an update on how I'm doing in a bit.. Good Day Sir 🙏🙏✊✊
@@timbibin1301 I know what you mean but it genuinely has helped so many people and you never know if you never try. A good psychiatrist or psychologist who cares can make all the difference sometimes. They save lives. I myself have been helped especially by a book called "12 rules for life" by Jordan Peterson who is a clinical psychologist. I highly recommend again. Take care as well sir and hope things go well with your recovery. God bless you 😁

Finally, after all these years. Finally saw them live in Charleston. Thanks to my son surprising me with tickets for my 51st birthday. Several tracks from 10,000 days helped me navigate my grief process after the loss of my oldest daughter, Marlaina.
I got the lyrics to this song tattooed on my arm about 7 years ago. I got it with a tree that has all four seasons on the branches. It starts with spring on the left side and ending with winter on the right side. There is a boy sitting on the left side of the tree looking up towards the stars and his older self on the right side also looking up. I have the moon and sun tattoo together with the starts overhead. The lyrics "watch the weather change" are directly over the tree, "mention something mention anything" to me is where the boy is and "mention this to me" is next to the older man. The sun/moon and stars are all around to complete my forearm tattoo; from the elbow down to my wrist. I first listen to this song on acid and I continued to listen to this song since then that was almost 10 years ago. For me, listening to this song at a California beach watching the sunset has given me eternal hope in my life. I always took this song as metaphor for time and that time waits for no one. The four seasons come and go, people come and go, and our mind/body grows old. It is to live in the moment because the time we have now is the only time we will have this experience; right here right now. That younger child is still talking to me and with me since I have grown up. I promise I will not let him down. #toolarmy
Korrigane weren’t they gonna track down Adblock users to permanently ban them from ever having an account again on TH-cam? Or so I’ve read a couple of weeks ago. But yeah, go premium, it changed my life.
Okay so the tools fans that say they "dont need drugs to enjoy tool" all the time are ignorant. Nobody said they need drugs to enjoy tool. I'll tell you what your problem is. You've never tried LSD. LSD unlocks things in your brain that nothing else can. When someone tells you try tool with LSD it's not because they're a druggie like you people act. It's because something happened to them while listening to tool on LSD. Something deep within them. So stop acting like your better because "you enjoy tool without drugs" so what? everybody enjoys tool here drugs or no drugs. But dont criticize what you dont understand. And those of you who keep telling people to take acid and listen. Yeah I know the experience is unfathomable through words. It changed my life forever and is the sole reason I was able to find the strength to quit opiets. But chill. These people are narrow minded and there is no convincing them to try something so profound. They will only understand if they chose to go where they have never gone before. To the deepest darkest depths of there mind and to the highest most beautiful enlightenment, if they are content without knowing what lies within. Let them be.
It used to be that way (still is for folk music contexts) but nowadays, especially in a rock context, "ballad" is just a song that's notably softer than the album around it. e.g. Pantera's Cemetery Gates, Acid Bath's Scream of the Butterfly
@@pluckyduck11y I remember at the time when people were getting upset that Tool was blending in too much APC style melodies into their music. They did some sure, but it was well crafted and has become more accepted now
@@Djmada78 bike as in bicycle my guy. And also not while in traffic. Im talking about open park roads where no one comes through. On a JBL clip on speaker and some tool in the morning...bro.
I’d always thought of this track as filler and sort of skipped over it but I’m realizing it’s a hidden gem. It conjures a feeling and emotion like no other Tool melody does. I don’t play bass but the melody is simple and I created my own arrangement on acoustic guitar. It’s just a few notes but they come together in such a beautiful and spiritual way I could just play and sing this for hours.
The Indian percussion instruments add a sense of calmness and radiance to this song. I absolutely love it! There aren't too many bands that experiment with the instrumentation in their music like TOOL does. Beautiful!
This song always brings me to tears. My interpretation of the lyrics and simplicity of the instrumental is that nothing can stay - everything is constantly changing. You must let go of all your desires, all ego, all circumstances, all attachments and accept that they, too, will pass over with everything. It makes you feel small and meaningless, hence “mention anything,” the smallest thing can have meaning but also have little significance in the grand scheme of things. But even those small, insignificant things that are subject to change, are just as spiritually beautiful and precious as the next.
hello friend. nice to meet you... very amazing interpretation. The important thing is that it makes you feel good. My interpretation at this moment is that.. What is weather? Is it outside? Is it far away on the T.V. weather channel? Is it on a map? Is it on the clouds? The grass? The rain? The sunshine? Where is the line? Where does the weather end and where does it begin We are also part of the weather
The album made my military experience alot better . I slept listening to it countless times while in Iraq . Takes me right back to to that gp medium tent and the sound of incoming mortars .... Great fuckin album . Great fuckin band . They've influenced my life more than any other group . Forever a fan
I get such huge chills when those first few notes come in. It's like a return to home, in spite of all the life and wildness going on outside of my headphones. A clean breath of spirit, timeless. Now I gotta poop.
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ Still one of my favorites off of lateralus. Great job on the new album, boys. Thanks for always producing such phenomenal music for all of these years. 🤘🤘♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Bro for real tho, going to spotify and making Eon Blue Apocalypse transition into this song, Right in Two, and 7empest is so awesome! Eon Blue Apocalypse just transitions so well into so many songs!
Being a Deftones fan, I'd been searching for a band that would have a similar vibe to their music. That sophisticated, dreamy and spacy sound. I'm so glad I've found what I'd been looking for.
listen to Deftones before Tool myself. check out Passenger track if you haven't Maynard and Chino. check Maynards other bands as well and heres a couple bands you might Polyphia and Berried Alive
Definitely a masterpiece the psychology or meaning of songs are masterpiece on there own Together legendary The song diary of a love song was another masterpiece
This always makes me feel so calm inside. I suffer from anxiety in a way my hands shake and neurologists can't physiologically understand it. But this song helps me feel so better, like a warm embrace. I'm caught remembering beautiful moments with my girlfriend and her smile, how much I value every moment with her, how she can paint my skies blue with a smile. One of my favorite songs of all times.
Reading a comment here on someone that had a spiritual experience with this song brought me back to a time in my life i struggle to leave behind... in 1998 i met someone that became a very special person in my life. He played the bass very nicely and was part of a band that was still in the making.... his favorite music band was Tool, back then it was news to me... but we definitely clicked and Tool became a very intimate part of our relationship as close friends. We used to speak on the phone for HOURS at a time... all night and through the first hours of the morning, every single day. In one of the last occasions we did that, he had gotten discharged from the hospital for like the 5th time, with a very high fever as a symptom of septicemia (bacteria in the bloodstream) very serious life threatening illness. Getting discharged form a hospital with an illness of that magnitude, its something that only happens in a country like the one i come from... In one moment of our conversation, he was agonizing with the fever, and he told me to get a pen and write down some lyrics for a song that he was about to tell me... He actually gave me the lyrics to this song but in Spanish which is our primary language... He died a few weeks later in the hospital. Almost three years after his passing i went to his house and asked his grandmother to allow me to sleep over with his pillow... I played the whole album (Lateralus that had just come out) for him to listen to (wherever he might be) and this particular song ended up in REPEAT all night long as my tears drenched his pillow. I know that before passing on, the spirit does visit certain places and people that somehow had meaning in their lives. I wonder if this song was probably being written at that time and he somehow had the chance to listen to it before it even came out.... I guess it was his way of keeping his memory alive in me three years down the line. I didnt even notice the fact until that night i was laying with his pillow that the lyrics to this song were the very words he had asked me write down 3 years prior while agonizing with a terribly high fever... Yeah, definitely a very spiritual experience....😌
:( this is so sad. i hope you get to unite once again with the 2nd part of your soul. may he rest in peace and may you cross paths again in a different time, different life, different planet or different realm. you will.
@@Destroymaster100 We all know each other at the soul level😇. It's no coincidence. Several years back, a clairvoyant friend told me that later in my life i would write a book🤓. Sometimes i sit in retrospect wondering about all the lives i've touched and the lives that have touched mine and what does it all mean???🤔 I probably should start writing that book...😳 Certainly i won't have the need to modify some aspects to make it readable🙄... Everybody has a book in their lives i guess, just not every one chooses to write it?...I will check that P.O.D... Never heard of it before😏
Lateraluz Thanks for your kind words😇 I should start writing it even though my story isn’t over as of yet😅 but I will make you this promise: when I write it, you’ll be the first to know🤓 I don’t have a Discord acct☹️ I’m not very social yet even though I might be one day since my girls want a TH-cam channel that’s more active... We are all on a journey, a short one even though we might think it’s long. Our journeys are filled with oddities that teach us valuable things we will need down the line... so much to learn🤓 Do you have a Facebook? That’s the only social thing I got other that this one... under the same name☺️ I listened to that song you said POD?? It sounds good, thanks for the reference 😉
@@Destroymaster100 Oh Wow!! I like Incubus as well...not too crazy about it but they have good stuff. I will find that one Dig... even though my favorite bu them is:"...whatever tomorrow brings i'll be there, with open heart and open arms yeah!!" 😎
this album makes me see the world with new eyes... i'm having a really hard time this year, my self destructive habits are taking me over just like the pessimistic thoughts.. not to mention that we're living at a harsh time of human history but every single time i stop to listen to lateralus, all this pain trying to kill me from the inside seems meaningless, pointless and too small lateralus makes me see the spirit of living and loving beating in every heart, in every molecule at the same time in nature.. i can't thank tool enough for bringing me this album, i can really tell that this is and will continue saving my life ♡
Tool absolutely saved me, and I am glad to see in some element, they have saved you too! I hope your heart and spirit are in a lighter place now!! Spiral out!!!
Takes me back to summer of 2009 when my friend would come over and play Age of Empires 2 on LAN while we listened to music. Hard to believe irs been 10 years.
My first DMT experience I've ever had was to this song. Everything was complete bliss and I had became so much more . But as the song ended the DMT was ending as well.. the drums at the end set me back down to earth gently like a feather floating to the ground. Truly the best song tool has ever made
@@jebushwplainview9453 man it’s intense thinking about it. I was probably 17 and I’m 26 now. I was with my still current best friend and his brother and we all sat smoking weed and I waited on the weed since I was about to transcend. But I had my headphones on and put volume to a comfortable level and just hit play and watched the magic happen. Motor skills 100% functional just .. not visually in this reality . So headphones and tool wasn’t too hard to mix into the equation lol
I remember when the first lockdown happened and you weren’t allowed to see anyone. I went through a shitty heartbreak in the summer and it hurt worse cause I couldn’t see anyone to help. I remember walking on my own everyday sun shining listening to this,made me feel so uncertain about what was going to happen like the whole world was going to end and everyone was going to die. I know that’s a bit extreme but that’s how I felt. Coming back to it just shows how much more shit has happened since then to now.
Never listened to much Tool until recently but this song caught my attention, such a beautiful song. Im also a huge Incubus fan and this kinda gives me Brandon Boyd vocal resemblance in this song, truly beautiful.
This melody/song/lyrics. Brings a lot of feelings and emotions out of me. who else feels this. almost a soothing calmness, but also some sort of memory or past feelings
I cry everytime I listen. It’s like a feeling of mourning for the rise and death of entire ancient civilizations and their trauma becomes a faint existential echo encoded into our dna.
Only true Tool fans will agree this is a masterpiece very well put together, between the music, and and the softer voice of Marynard ,this song is sick af.....
I like to think that if I walk down the street and someone says "mention this to me" I will know that we understand each other, that we are part of something bigger...
Another Saturday night with the headphones on listening to the Disposition/Reflection/Triad trio . Retirement is good if you have good music that relates to where you have been. Life is good
Uff no se cómo explicar esto , tan solo con el inicio del bajo me hace estar en un estado de instrospeccion , cómo una reconciliación de uno mismo , una de las cancionesas hermosas. Y misteriosas del rock y del metal XD saludos
This is the last song on the Holy Gift order of Lateralus. It goes 6, 7, 5, 8, 4, 9, 13, 1, 12, 2, 11, 3, 10. I'd say this is a lot better and more fitting of a send off then "Fapped a Wad." The whole album hits differently like this.
Only TOOL can put literally two sentences in a song and still sound like a philosophical revalation. Those guys are the only one of their kind. Watch the weather change...
Mention this to me Mention this to me And watch the weather change Watch the weather change Watch the weather change Watch the weather change Mention this to me Mention something, mention anything Mention this to me Watch the weather change Watch the weather change Watch the weather change Watch the weather change Watch the weather change Watch the weather change Mention this to me Mention something, mention anything Mention this to me Watch the weather Watch the weather change Watch the weather change (Watch the weather)
It’s like a mixture between ancient Mayans, future level 3 civilization hyper intelligent telepathic aliens, religious prophecies foretold, and worldwide catharsis of going through the pain of life. It’s one of maybe 30-40 perfect songs on earth. It’s Like Maynard knows both sides to the afterlife of heaven and hell, and this music is in pergatory or neutral music to let one know what’s beyond simple humanity.
This song makes me want to cry in a good way. It makes me feel very nostalgic and it makes me think about alot of good memories in my life since ive been listening to this album. Got this album when i was 16 and still love it just as much as i did when they released it.

I know I am a stranger and idk you but, I know everyone is harshest to themselves and everyone is flawed but everyone is also special and is a light which shines on our world and even if a single one of those lights is taken away then the world will be a bit darker. A bit less hopeful. You seem to love your daughters and also intrinsically have a light within which is very valuable to the world. You have to take care of yourself because you are valuable. I recommend visiting a psychiatrist or a psychologist for help brother. You deserve goodness. We all do. Take care.
@@Prikar1234 ... Thank You for those kind words Sir.. God Bless You.. I was obviously in a Very dark place at that time.. which wasn't very long ago... Lord willing I pulled through again, and I'm in a better space now.. I've always been against talking to a counselor/doctor about my issues, because my outlook is.. how does someone that knows absolutely Nothing about me, think that they can fix me.. I need to get over that, and give it a chance.. I did see a counselor in prison, just because it was a female, and I got to smell her perfume 🤣🤣.. Thanks again for your uplifting words, and if you're interested, maybe I'll drop an update on how I'm doing in a bit.. Good Day Sir 🙏🙏✊✊
@@timbibin1301 I know what you mean but it genuinely has helped so many people and you never know if you never try. A good psychiatrist or psychologist who cares can make all the difference sometimes. They save lives. I myself have been helped especially by a book called "12 rules for life" by Jordan Peterson who is a clinical psychologist. I highly recommend again. Take care as well sir and hope things go well with your recovery. God bless you 😁
it's never too late to pick up an instrument!
Tim Bibin same. This song crushes me. But I still immerge on the other side. Keep fighting the good fight

That time when Maynard was on so much acid he thought he was an air conditioner.
You’re saying he isn’t?
Hilarious
Hahaha
"Aren't we all just air conditioners?" -Ongo Gablogian
He once kinda tried to fuck his Lay-Z-Boy too, but it got a bit messy...
Finally, after all these years. Finally saw them live in Charleston. Thanks to my son surprising me with tickets for my 51st birthday.
Several tracks from 10,000 days helped me navigate my grief process after the loss of my oldest daughter, Marlaina.
i suppose Tool won't ever use Internet Explorer to upload stuff again
Mention this to me
Mention something, mention anything!! (I've had these lyrics going around in my head for the last few days, since I did DMT)
watch the weather change
This album isn't just "an album", it's an experience. The more you listen to it the more you ascend.
I got the lyrics to this song tattooed on my arm about 7 years ago. I got it with a tree that has all four seasons on the branches. It starts with spring on the left side and ending with winter on the right side. There is a boy sitting on the left side of the tree looking up towards the stars and his older self on the right side also looking up. I have the moon and sun tattoo together with the starts overhead. The lyrics "watch the weather change" are directly over the tree, "mention something mention anything" to me is where the boy is and "mention this to me" is next to the older man. The sun/moon and stars are all around to complete my forearm tattoo; from the elbow down to my wrist.
I first listen to this song on acid and I continued to listen to this song since then that was almost 10 years ago. For me, listening to this song at a California beach watching the sunset has given me eternal hope in my life. I always took this song as metaphor for time and that time waits for no one. The four seasons come and go, people come and go, and our mind/body grows old. It is to live in the moment because the time we have now is the only time we will have this experience; right here right now. That younger child is still talking to me and with me since I have grown up. I promise I will not let him down.
#toolarmy
I love this band and I love you bro
Wow, cosmic !!!!!
That is awesome
That's absolutely spectacular!! Much love, spiral out.
Much love brother, the strongest force in the universe and goes hand in hand with a childlike innocence and curiosity
Hope there’s at least something similar to this on the new album. This song makes me feel emotions I don’t feel anywhere else.

Its just wrong to run commercials between these songs...….breaks my immersion.
was listening to parabol and when it was about to hit that godly transition into parabola i got 2 fkn ads.......
Then cough up the 10 bucks a month for TH-cam premium. Can You not afford it?
Spotify bro
Then buy the music. It's a courtesy that you can listen to it for free, don't complain about ads.
Korrigane weren’t they gonna track down Adblock users to permanently ban them from ever having an account again on TH-cam? Or so I’ve read a couple of weeks ago.
But yeah, go premium, it changed my life.
The first time I listened to this it started to snow.
That must have been an amazing experience man
@@cheechunlimited Considering it never snows in Ireland, it really was lol
Watch the weather change
Must have been one hell of an experience
@@972pa. Imagine if he was high while watching the snow fall and listening to this song.
Drugs? Nah..this song is all I need.
Maybe some weed or shrooms ;)
@@vinyldiary6664 those aren't drugs
Just that is what I was thinking
Drugs aren’t the tool, Tool is the tool
Okay so the tools fans that say they "dont need drugs to enjoy tool" all the time are ignorant. Nobody said they need drugs to enjoy tool. I'll tell you what your problem is. You've never tried LSD. LSD unlocks things in your brain that nothing else can. When someone tells you try tool with LSD it's not because they're a druggie like you people act. It's because something happened to them while listening to tool on LSD. Something deep within them. So stop acting like your better because "you enjoy tool without drugs" so what? everybody enjoys tool here drugs or no drugs. But dont criticize what you dont understand. And those of you who keep telling people to take acid and listen. Yeah I know the experience is unfathomable through words. It changed my life forever and is the sole reason I was able to find the strength to quit opiets. But chill. These people are narrow minded and there is no convincing them to try something so profound. They will only understand if they chose to go where they have never gone before. To the deepest darkest depths of there mind and to the highest most beautiful enlightenment, if they are content without knowing what lies within. Let them be.
At the end of this song I always feel like going deep into Reflection.
AHH I SEE WHATTYA DID THERE!
That's a Triad of feelings!
Disposition and Reflection is one of the best one-two punches in rock/metal history.
I wish there were more Tool "ballad" songs like this one
It's what APC is for though. Both bands got their own directions, with some criss-cross apple sauce.
It used to be that way (still is for folk music contexts) but nowadays, especially in a rock context, "ballad" is just a song that's notably softer than the album around it. e.g. Pantera's Cemetery Gates, Acid Bath's Scream of the Butterfly
@@pluckyduck11y I remember at the time when people were getting upset that Tool was blending in too much APC style melodies into their music. They did some sure, but it was well crafted and has become more accepted now
maybe blame hoffman? love that one and lipan conjuring from 10000 days . I know exactly what you mean man they are all so good!
@@MNC2k those are more of weird noise tracks/interludes rather than fully realized songs, this is a fully realized song
Listening to this early in the morning while going for a bike ride is amazing.
through the streets of Basel 👽
Funny u say this, I think listening to tool on a motorcycle is dangerous! 🙃
@@Djmada78 bike as in bicycle my guy. And also not while in traffic. Im talking about open park roads where no one comes through. On a JBL clip on speaker and some tool in the morning...bro.
I’d always thought of this track as filler and sort of skipped over it but I’m realizing it’s a hidden gem. It conjures a feeling and emotion like no other Tool melody does. I don’t play bass but the melody is simple and I created my own arrangement on acoustic guitar. It’s just a few notes but they come together in such a beautiful and spiritual way I could just play and sing this for hours.
The Indian percussion instruments add a sense of calmness and radiance to this song. I absolutely love it!
There aren't too many bands that experiment with the instrumentation in their music like TOOL does. Beautiful!
Indian?! I thought it was Kansan’ 😉
Watch the weather change
Its been sunny for a whole week now, so NO
This song always brings me to tears. My interpretation of the lyrics and simplicity of the instrumental is that nothing can stay - everything is constantly changing. You must let go of all your desires, all ego, all circumstances, all attachments and accept that they, too, will pass over with everything. It makes you feel small and meaningless, hence “mention anything,” the smallest thing can have meaning but also have little significance in the grand scheme of things. But even those small, insignificant things that are subject to change, are just as spiritually beautiful and precious as the next.
hello friend. nice to meet you... very amazing interpretation. The important thing is that it makes you feel good. My interpretation at this moment is that.. What is weather? Is it outside? Is it far away on the T.V. weather channel? Is it on a map?
Is it on the clouds? The grass? The rain? The sunshine?
Where is the line? Where does the weather end and where does it begin
We are also part of the weather
Love this interpretation
This entire song is made up of 9 words and I love it
10, actually. don't forget the word "anything"!

Unfortunately they were unable to recapture these simple and beautiful moments in subsequent albums. This is their masterwork.
10,000 days is not a step down from lateralus it’s just a different form of the same energy they always bring. Tool is spiritual healing
@@r3b3lvegan89 Each album represents a different aspect of reality and consciousness, that’s my take on it.
The album made my military experience alot better . I slept listening to it countless times while in Iraq . Takes me right back to to that gp medium tent and the sound of incoming mortars .... Great fuckin album . Great fuckin band . They've influenced my life more than any other group . Forever a fan
Thank you for your service ❤️🤟
You should go back and do it again.
My soul is addicted to this rhythm.
I can't describe how much I love this song
Mention this to me.
I get such huge chills when those first few notes come in. It's like a return to home, in spite of all the life and wildness going on outside of my headphones. A clean breath of spirit, timeless.
Now I gotta poop.

I love this comment
I sure hope you had a nice poop after such a great song!

Still one of my favorites off of lateralus. Great job on the new album, boys. Thanks for always producing such phenomenal music for all of these years. 🤘🤘♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Mentioning the new album, I had no clue, I will have to check it out. Only came back for this laterals album!
Hey. Agree
Could they make an entire album that's like this and Intension? Pretty please with orange slices on top?
James Cox , Rosetta Stoned
Throw in a little bit of fetal spooning
Goddamn, shit the bed.
Bro for real tho, going to spotify and making Eon Blue Apocalypse transition into this song, Right in Two, and 7empest is so awesome! Eon Blue Apocalypse just transitions so well into so many songs!
Absolutely sublime. I often fall asleep listening to this one because it’s just so damned relaxing
This is my wake up song. I get up and stretch and feed my cat and jam. ❤
This is such an underrated track. You can feel the heart that went into every note
Wings for Marie pt 1 and 2.... nuff said
Might be my fav track on this album
This is spiritual delight ❤
Being a Deftones fan, I'd been searching for a band that would have a similar vibe to their music. That sophisticated, dreamy and spacy sound. I'm so glad I've found what I'd been looking for.
listen to Deftones before Tool myself. check out Passenger track if you haven't Maynard and Chino. check Maynards other bands as well and heres a couple bands you might Polyphia and Berried Alive
Listen to the whole Lateralus album, it's a masterpiece
Leprous. 😉
Definitely a masterpiece the psychology or meaning of songs are masterpiece on there own
Together legendary
The song diary of a love song was another masterpiece
Same here! 😍 and thank you for your comment! I identify with your words deeply 🙏🏿
This is a good Tool song to give to normies as an introduction to the band.
This always makes me feel so calm inside. I suffer from anxiety in a way my hands shake and neurologists can't physiologically understand it. But this song helps me feel so better, like a warm embrace. I'm caught remembering beautiful moments with my girlfriend and her smile, how much I value every moment with her, how she can paint my skies blue with a smile. One of my favorite songs of all times.
Its really cool to look at the artist randomly and think "ohh damn this is actually uploaded by tool". Awesome!!
This is what plays when you walk through the gates of heaven
Nope, that's Fear Inoculum

Reading a comment here on someone that had a spiritual experience with this song brought me back to a time in my life i struggle to leave behind... in 1998 i met someone that became a very special person in my life. He played the bass very nicely and was part of a band that was still in the making.... his favorite music band was Tool, back then it was news to me... but we definitely clicked and Tool became a very intimate part of our relationship as close friends. We used to speak on the phone for HOURS at a time... all night and through the first hours of the morning, every single day. In one of the last occasions we did that, he had gotten discharged from the hospital for like the 5th time, with a very high fever as a symptom of septicemia (bacteria in the bloodstream) very serious life threatening illness. Getting discharged form a hospital with an illness of that magnitude, its something that only happens in a country like the one i come from... In one moment of our conversation, he was agonizing with the fever, and he told me to get a pen and write down some lyrics for a song that he was about to tell me... He actually gave me the lyrics to this song but in Spanish which is our primary language... He died a few weeks later in the hospital. Almost three years after his passing i went to his house and asked his grandmother to allow me to sleep over with his pillow... I played the whole album (Lateralus that had just come out) for him to listen to (wherever he might be) and this particular song ended up in REPEAT all night long as my tears drenched his pillow. I know that before passing on, the spirit does visit certain places and people that somehow had meaning in their lives. I wonder if this song was probably being written at that time and he somehow had the chance to listen to it before it even came out.... I guess it was his way of keeping his memory alive in me three years down the line. I didnt even notice the fact until that night i was laying with his pillow that the lyrics to this song were the very words he had asked me write down 3 years prior while agonizing with a terribly high fever... Yeah, definitely a very spiritual experience....😌
:( this is so sad. i hope you get to unite once again with the 2nd part of your soul. may he rest in peace and may you cross paths again in a different time, different life, different planet or different realm. you will.
@@Destroymaster100 Who knows... I myself still wonder why i feel as if it all happened yesterday...😔
@@Destroymaster100 We all know each other at the soul level😇. It's no coincidence. Several years back, a clairvoyant friend told me that later in my life i would write a book🤓. Sometimes i sit in retrospect wondering about all the lives i've touched and the lives that have touched mine and what does it all mean???🤔 I probably should start writing that book...😳 Certainly i won't have the need to modify some aspects to make it readable🙄... Everybody has a book in their lives i guess, just not every one chooses to write it?...I will check that P.O.D... Never heard of it before😏
Lateraluz Thanks for your kind words😇 I should start writing it even though my story isn’t over as of yet😅 but I will make you this promise: when I write it, you’ll be the first to know🤓 I don’t have a Discord acct☹️ I’m not very social yet even though I might be one day since my girls want a TH-cam channel that’s more active... We are all on a journey, a short one even though we might think it’s long. Our journeys are filled with oddities that teach us valuable things we will need down the line... so much to learn🤓 Do you have a Facebook? That’s the only social thing I got other that this one... under the same name☺️ I listened to that song you said POD?? It sounds good, thanks for the reference 😉
@@Destroymaster100 Oh Wow!! I like Incubus as well...not too crazy about it but they have good stuff. I will find that one Dig... even though my favorite bu them is:"...whatever tomorrow brings i'll be there, with open heart and open arms yeah!!" 😎
Puro arte.
Observa el clima cambiar
this album makes me see the world with new eyes...
i'm having a really hard time this year, my self destructive habits are taking me over just like the pessimistic thoughts.. not to mention that we're living at a harsh time of human history
but every single time i stop to listen to lateralus, all this pain trying to kill me from the inside seems meaningless, pointless and too small
lateralus makes me see the spirit of living and loving beating in every heart, in every molecule at the same time in nature.. i can't thank tool enough for bringing me this album, i can really tell that this is and will continue saving my life ♡
Repugnant is a creature who would squander the ability
To lift an eye to heaven, conscious of his fleeting time here
I think we'll The see the 21st century up there with Middle Ages and The Plague after all is said and done.
Thank God for
"][" ([]) ([]) ][_
Tool absolutely saved me, and I am glad to see in some element, they have saved you too! I hope your heart and spirit are in a lighter place now!! Spiral out!!!
This album man.... it just fits my life so well. Or maybe my life fits it. What a band
Takes me back to summer of 2009 when my friend would come over and play Age of Empires 2 on LAN while we listened to music. Hard to believe irs been 10 years.
A tool fan, a death fan and an age of empires fan?
My first DMT experience I've ever had was to this song. Everything was complete bliss and I had became so much more . But as the song ended the DMT was ending as well.. the drums at the end set me back down to earth gently like a feather floating to the ground. Truly the best song tool has ever made
How did you even hear it? Lol.
Psychedelic incorporation. The song became the environment became more reality than reality itself.
@@jebushwplainview9453 man it’s intense thinking about it. I was probably 17 and I’m 26 now. I was with my still current best friend and his brother and we all sat smoking weed and I waited on the weed since I was about to transcend. But I had my headphones on and put volume to a comfortable level and just hit play and watched the magic happen. Motor skills 100% functional just .. not visually in this reality . So headphones and tool wasn’t too hard to mix into the equation lol
This song hits the spot
I either listen to this song or 10,000 days when theres a storm. Makes me feel protected
10,000 days is such a storm song... This one too. Nothing like closing your eyes to some Tool on a cold afternoon. Overcast too.
I feel like the entire album 10,000 days suits rainy weather tbh
@@absolutemelon12345 Vicarious, and Jambi and The Pot are more aggressive songs in 10,000 Days.
@@AscendedHaven yh they suit an aggressive storm for sure
This really is a song you just feel, you sense it more with your whole body than just ears and mind
I remember when the first lockdown happened and you weren’t allowed to see anyone. I went through a shitty heartbreak in the summer and it hurt worse cause I couldn’t see anyone to help.
I remember walking on my own everyday sun shining listening to this,made me feel so uncertain about what was going to happen like the whole world was going to end and everyone was going to die.
I know that’s a bit extreme but that’s how I felt.
Coming back to it just shows how much more shit has happened since then to now.
Never listened to much Tool until recently but this song caught my attention, such a beautiful song. Im also a huge Incubus fan and this kinda gives me Brandon Boyd vocal resemblance in this song, truly beautiful.
Omg I thought I was the only one who thought Maynard's voice sounds like Brandon Boyd/Mike Patton
@@kingkrysen Yeah I honestly coulda been fooled on this being an Incubus song. Its almost too identical lmao, such a good song though !
Yep it reminds me of aqueous transmission!! I couldn’t put my finger on it!
agreed
It works better on acid trip.
Don't do drugs
Ever had a song you play first thing in the morning? This is one of those songs.
Could go well before bed time too.
I thought I was the only one who played this and reflection for the first forty minutes I’m awake lol
I just did that!

This melody/song/lyrics. Brings a lot of feelings and emotions out of me. who else feels this. almost a soothing calmness, but also some sort of memory or past feelings
Right here with you fam.
Or uncertainty
All of the above. No wrong answer
100000%
When I hear this song, I can't help but think of an endless and clear-blue sea.
The only song that has ever made me cry
I cry everytime I listen. It’s like a feeling of mourning for the rise and death of entire ancient civilizations and their trauma becomes a faint existential echo encoded into our dna.
This sounds very similar to Black Sabbath's song Planet Caravan. There was definitely an inspiration!
The percussion transition into Reflection at the end should be required listening in school music classes. Danny is a drum god.
How could your best friend be in error?
Only true Tool fans will agree this is a masterpiece very well put together, between the music, and and the softer
voice of Marynard ,this song is sick af.....
I proposed to my partner to this just a couple of weeks ago, whilst we were chilling with Lateralus. He said yes.
@Super Otter 2 Omg you killed him! Lol
LOL
Super Otter 2 obviously you cared enough to comment you fucking ahitbag loser.
@Ryan Mozert Thanks man
Unpopular opinion: this is better than Reflection.
I literally came here straight from reflection lol
2019, nothing has changed facing the dark spirituality of this song. Just, finally, another Tool album :)
💙
Until Carona turned up
I like the "Watch the weather change" part
Mira el clima cambiar....
2:27 descending riff
Peaceful. Calm. Powerful. Tool is genius.
I like to think that if I walk down the street and someone says "mention this to me" I will know that we understand each other, that we are part of something bigger...
ugh.. I wish we were like this as humans... not their yet... it sucks
@@mephiston001 we are...
Hope your disposition is sunny
This reminds me of a relationship I had years ago that became bitter an distant..
The way the bass sustains its note when the voice says "mention this to mmme"
Why would anyone dislike their songs???!
They liked it so much they had to keep clicking because it's still a thumbs up they just moved their phone upside down
They didn't notice they were holding their phones upside down
Pathetic Bieber fans
Another Saturday night with the headphones on listening to the Disposition/Reflection/Triad trio . Retirement is good if you have good music that relates to where you have been. Life is good
the bass......the bass.....THE....BASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Uff no se cómo explicar esto , tan solo con el inicio del bajo me hace estar en un estado de instrospeccion , cómo una reconciliación de uno mismo , una de las cancionesas hermosas. Y misteriosas del rock y del metal XD saludos
This is the last song on the Holy Gift order of Lateralus.
It goes 6, 7, 5, 8, 4, 9, 13, 1, 12, 2, 11, 3, 10.
I'd say this is a lot better and more fitting of a send off then "Fapped a Wad."
The whole album hits differently like this.
Why tho? That order.
Mira el tiempo cambiar...
Only TOOL can put literally two sentences in a song and still sound like a philosophical revalation. Those guys are the only one of their kind.

Watch the weather change creatures of light ✌️
It’s like a mixture between ancient Mayans, future level 3 civilization hyper intelligent telepathic aliens, religious prophecies foretold, and worldwide catharsis of going through the pain of life. It’s one of maybe 30-40 perfect songs on earth. It’s Like Maynard knows both sides to the afterlife of heaven and hell, and this music is in pergatory or neutral music to let one know what’s beyond simple humanity.
Favorite tune to meditate too.. Fuck a binaural beat I guess lmfao
Hypnotic and powerful, great harmonics
Just breathe. Everything will be alright.
This song makes me want to cry in a good way. It makes me feel very nostalgic and it makes me think about alot of good memories in my life since ive been listening to this album. Got this album when i was 16 and still love it just as much as i did when they released it.
Song has always kinda reminded me of Planet Caravan
