    "This Hole...ly experience, this hole...ly reality" he drags those out and then he hits "holding" as one word, twice... that is fantastic phrasing. I think that is worth mentioning. It is one of the first things that struck me on first listen of this album when it came out. He is singing about a holy experience and singing about it as a hole..... but when he is talking about being held in his body it is enunciated and concrete. Great juxtaposition of words and concepts... truly adds to the haunting eeriness, perhaps emphasizing the doubt of the Holy, but but he becomes almost staccato when he is talking about the flesh and body. It's brilliant. Think about the part you love this bod..dy, this body holding me. he does the same thing in miniature with body that he drew out a bit with holding and holy.

    It's cool to watch someone dissecting one of my all time favorite songs... that said, what I have always loved about Tool, and you reinforced that with the comment about Maynard not necessarily constructing his melodies by thinking of what mode he's in, is that while being constantly changing time signatures and subdivisions, it never feels like it's complicated (to my ear anyway). It's the most natural and "organic" non 4/4 I can think of. It doesn't feel forced, it doesn't feel mechanical, it's not a technical demonstration... it just flows like a jam session, and it seems to be built purely on emotions... all fined-tuned to hit you in exactly the right way. Fuck I love Tool. Nothing they play (except for Carey) is even remotely hard to master, but nobody can build a song like they do. Masters of their own sound.

      Don't blame the bands. Sometimes it's taken down automatically, sometimes it'seems the management who does not want it. Maybe the musicians would appreciate this series if they found it, but there are so many things going on in their life that they don't have the time to check every copyright infringement, so they risk taking out the proper uses of their music in order to catch the people misusing their music/ prevent them from earning their well deserved money.

    Rick, you should consider doing DVD's of whole albums done in this format. I'm sure the licensing would be hell to sort out, but I know I would be buying them. There's so much information in them that they all bear multiple watches. Oddly, these are invariably more informative than having the actual producer (and artist together sometimes) going through a recording at the desk. The things you pick out are aspects of a track, like the vocal line at the start, that the people involved could have been unaware of first time round AND second time round.

    Thank you Rick great stuff, Tool is probably one of the best bands around. And I've been around. I've listened to every type of music, and plus being around music all my life when I was a kid growing up in the early 70's I can remember being at family holiday functions and my family singing uncle's playing guitar, panio. And my self being musically inclined.
    I watch a lot of your videos, thank you again keep up the great work.

    Tool has an amazing ability to play in 4/4 and convince you that it's not, and to play in obscure time signatures in ways to which you can still bang your head. It's not just the crazy time signatures they use so well, but their gift for sucking an infectious groove (with a H/T to the band of that name) out of any time signature.

    Whoa, the chords you play at 4:34 are the same as in Disposition later on the album. I never realized they were the same as the part Justin is playing on this song. I love it when bands take musical ideas from other songs on the same record and reuse them in a fresh way. I feel like it gives the album an even greater cohesiveness which is wicked cool. Thanks so much Rick, more Tool is always welcome!

    Parabol/Parabola is just an amazing work of art. One of my favorite pieces of music of my time. Born in 1967. Tool is one of the best rock bands of the 2x centuries … so far.

    Still absolutely one of my favorite Tool songs and songs by any artist honestly. Great video. I can tell you enjoy the music as much as we do. Watching this makes me think of a conversation I had with my wife when we were still dating about a song I liked. She said “I don’t listen to music the same way you do.”

    That 3 over 4 thing: TOOL perfected that. They were getting that element into focus on Aenima. At that point, a few of us suspected that was as tricky as TOOL was going to get. By then Soundgarden had all but given up on all conventional rhythms. TOOL wasn't quite done exploring sophisticated rhythmic groove. But on this song, they probably outdid themselves in perpetuity. It's not the most tech thing they ever did, but Jesus -it's effective. Lateralus is the only work they have along these lines that is perhaps more powerful. It's their Stairway to Heaven.

    DAMN this was a sick analysis. The voicings and orchestration of Tool's music gets such a "thick" timbre that without this video I don't think I could ever have processed all the stuff going on. This is one of THE coolest rock songs ever written. Thanks for tearing it apart and showing the wiring... only increases my appreciation of the music to see these secrets exposed...

    Kind of weird that an old guy like me, a non-pro keyboard player, likes Tool as much as I do, and perhaps even weirder, that I moved to this region of Arizona because, well, this is where Maynard has his winery. One good thing about accomplishing something in life, is you can pull stunts like that. When I was doing engineering in Antarctica I had Forty Six looping in my earphones and would do a vid on it if I wasn't going to get dinged for copyright. Music is visceral for us, your viewers. And for us engineering types - the breakdown and analysis soothes the left brain, while the right brain is off somewhere else in the universe. I spent a couple weeks in a hospital after a surgeon killed me. When I came back I kept thinking as he said - all this pain is an illusion. This song means a lot to me. Thanks so much.

      Be very careful if you meet him. I live in Arizona as well. He's very similar to Neil Peart. If he senses any fanboy in you,it's done right there.
