I think the vocals are way better on Eat the Elephant, and given the context of the song I think that might be more important, But yeah Freese would have made the rerecording even better.
The Universal Pigeon really? Fifty bucks says he's using some sort of Auto tune type of thing on that version. Not obvious here, though. Also the drums on this are dope as fuck...the hi hat when the heavy guitar bit ends....much better than whatever the fuck they did re recording it.
The drums are the real difference maker that makes this the definitive version to me. That and the higher last note that Maynard holds out…matters more to the experience of the song than you might think.
No matter what, I just can't can't get enough of Maynard. Whether I'm listening to Tool, A Perfect Circle or Pussifer. I feel like Maynard is a genius. Pure genius! Love this song💜
ryanspears1986 Maynard is one of the best male vocalists and lyricists of all time and the way he used to move on stage in Tool is different on stage to what came before him. He’s harder to replace than any other member of the bands he is in. I don’t think there has ever been a better male vocalist in Rock than Maynard and he’s possibly the greatest known lyricist of all time hence the depth etc.
Moving in and out of the shadows Its no easier mission Holding onto how I picture you Showing only bits and pieces Till the tide betrays you and your empty allocution Searching your eyes for a hint or a trace of humility Searching your eyes for the saint is an act of futility Searching your eyes for a hint or a trace of it searching your eyes for humility searching your eyes for a hint or a trace I'm still searching searching Showing all the missing pieces Till the light betrays you and your empty allocution Saw the Piper by and down the river Caught his crippled alchemy From pounding waves of adoration Pied Piper float on down the river Bloated carcass crippled me The weight of adoration Moving in and out of the shadows Its no easy mission Holding on to how I picture you.
Every time I listen to A Perfect Circle or Tool I get emotional. Even when I think I won't I do. Thank you guys for creating beautiful music and memories for me.
Stone and echo live at red rocks is one the best live recorded shows ever recorded in the history of recordings. The vibe they set live is unreal. This is how music is supposed to be. Full of emotion and passion.
Funny you should say that. I'm getting a cover-up done on my left arm, which will be part of a sleeve that mostly consists of TOOL artwork. Just working on finding the right tattoo artist to do it.
Be careful who you let do it cause my sister got the A Perfect Circle symbol on her ankle and the guy really fucked it up. The guy who's gonna be doing the Lateralus eye for me is really awesome at tattooing so i trust him and he's tattooed a lot of my friends so I don't really have to worry there.
***** So she should fit in to what you consider "original"? It's only ruined if what is put there isn't meaningful. What does ruin your image is judgment, though....so I'd say, with your judging, you are ruined.
by and down" Moving in and out of the shadows. It's no easy mission, Holding on to how I picture you. Showing only bits and pieces, Till the tide betrays you, And your empty allocution. Searching your eyes for a hint or a trace of humility. Searching your eyes for the saint is an act of futility. Searching your eyes for a hint or a trace of it. Searching your eyes for humility. Searching your eyes for a hint or a trace, I'm still searching, searching. Showing only bits and pieces, Till the light betrays you, And your empty allocution. Rode the Piper by and down the river. Carcass crippled underneath, The pounding waves of adoration. Pied Piper float on down the river. Bloated carcass, crippled knee, The weight of adoration. Moving in and out of the shadows. It's no easy mission, Holding on to how I picture you.
Ifitallfails Love this song, but I think it may be "bloated carcass crippled 'neath the weight of adoration". It makes more sense anyway, especially because the earlier line was "carcass crippled underneath the heavy waves of adoration".
I can't even comprehend how much more sad a person Maynard has made me throughout the years I listened to his lyrics. And that's not even a bad thing. It's almost like neurotic suffering is mandatory part of the process of enriching ones inner self.
There's a time and a place to be sad but it's not good to be sad all the time. And I agree, MJK's music does leave one somber. But it is far better to go through life joyous rather than depressed. And in that case, one might need to pluck out their right eye if it's making them feel that way, i.e., get rid of the music.
This song has helped me to overcome my anxiety and dark thoughts. I have always loved APC and their music. Maynard Keenan poignant songwriting skills is impeccable.
APC has always been the absolute best blend of perfection in instrumental play and genius lyrics. Life changing music, never seen in the metal or other stages. Listening to this makes sense of still playing albums from 10 or so years ago. Every note, every pitch pulls you closer to being...
you gotta give it up for billy howerdel...that guitar man at the end just crying loud and carrying you the ringing out of that last note. this is pure genius
Maynard is an incredibly gifted genius. Fact He does alot of things with his life and not always public. The fact that hes gifting us with another album in 2018 is gracious as is. Hes sharing his mind with all of us. That isnt something you can rush. His music from any band is incredibly valuable to me and id rather wait if it means he comes out with awe inspiring things like this. Unlike many bands and musicians, he keeps coming out with music that is on par or better than his previous releases. Thats a rarity in and of itself. This man is an unspoken inspiration and has touched my life in so many ways and i will always be greatful and thankful for all of the hardwork that he, and all of his bandmates puts into their music. Im extremely eager to enjoy his new release. I really enjoy his intelligence in all aspects. A true inspiration to the open minded and anyone else who cares to listen.
98 people who are afraid to hear how they are supposed to feel. America, a place where we are convinced we shouldn't feel. Not by good media, but instead by cowards who hate the thought we are all conscious feeling beings. all desperately lost trying to admit to ourselves WE NEED TO FEEL THIS! absolute zero emotions is our own undoing. wake up america and feel normal.
I had to listen to this a few times, Once wasn't enough for me. APC is one of my favorite bands and always will be along with tool. Maynards lyrics are so wild.
Cripplingly beautiful! Maynard and Apc always find a way exposing and elevating our dirty bits as well as our fragility. There's something about their music that just chills my blood and I crave it like heroine.
Very well put. I ask did you intend on spelling heroine like in a story? Either way, very beautifully put. It's nice to see someone carrying and thinking about what they are saying to people. Think before speaking. Well done.
Love this music man, Its really helped with my spiritual awakening and the expansion of my mind. Meditation was made easier through starting while listening to Maynard, taught me how to access certain parts of my consciousness on command.
I've lucky enough to see APC quite a few times. Once met Maynard Keenan in a casino very nice man. He was there the show and playing at a table right before. My husband met a famous wrestler at a Cure concert at Shoreline in CA. He instantly knew who he was.
This is absolutely amazing. The music, the lyrics, the experience I feel listening to it is so raw. This is a fucking timeless group. So is Tool and Pusifer. I fucking love y'all. You fill my days and nights with this awesome music that takes me away from all the bullshit around me and I thank y'all for real.
The silence is crying, whining, trying to solidify in my mind. Or is it in yours, just screaming out to mine. The time is nigh, beyong a feeling of high tide, drowned in fear beyond a lost sign. Hand in hand with myself, the pain never subsides but instead lies within the chimes of all crimes. Echoes and sins, locked in a tin, feeling as though nothing...exists. Presets to weakness, deafness and blindness to nothingness, Becoming hollow again, insanity in existentialism, while living deathly in premonition. Taking a last breath, to breathe somewhere less suffocating. Choking the dear life out of me. It seems to be, or not to be. Just let me see the me that is to be. Give me the keys and let me drive, not strive but be alive.
This song is incredibly strong and i feel like but with ambitious and ready. I listen to this song before work and after at least everyday. It's a masterpiece best song by Maynard or who ever wrote the song. By the way he's a strange dude. Truly he could be the pope i wouldn't care as long as his music is playing. stranger the better. By and Down- forever be in bed into my brain.... PEACE ALL
2024. Who's listening APC ?
2024🎉 My Pandora plays it approximately every seven songs. Puscifer station. One out of four or five songs will be something with MJK in it.
I am here.
I just saw them in concert a month ago, lol
My balls hurt
This is the best version of this song on YT. None of the other videos sound like this. This is an all time classic. The most underrated classic.
Mr. Keenan.. Your voice is ever-perfect.
❤❤❤ APC forever an ever...❤❤❤❤
So much better then the remastered version. I'm sorry to say but I can feel the proper emotion in this song.
Agreed
Yes!!!
Objectively better than the album version.
Vocal production on the album version was a huge disappointment. Harden the edges of a beautifully smooth object.
I like this versión more than the eat the elephant one
Definitely eat the elephant would be 100 times better if they had a competent drummer. They are so lifeless without fresse
I think the vocals are way better on Eat the Elephant, and given the context of the song I think that might be more important, But yeah Freese would have made the rerecording even better.
The Universal Pigeon really? Fifty bucks says he's using some sort of Auto tune type of thing on that version. Not obvious here, though. Also the drums on this are dope as fuck...the hi hat when the heavy guitar bit ends....much better than whatever the fuck they did re recording it.
@@user-pb3cf5ws8f freese didnt write this songs drums too, as far as i know.
he's still using one these version to
@@buffalobear160
I love this slow tempo, higher pitched vocals and more interesting drum beat more than the new version.
Ditto, new version feels sold out.
New album needed one drummer and someone like freese to play naturally. Greyson nekrutman on Billy's solo stuff would have been a good choice
The drums are the real difference maker that makes this the definitive version to me. That and the higher last note that Maynard holds out…matters more to the experience of the song than you might think.
i played this song over and over for about 3 hours straight...i listened to it for the first time about 3 hours ago.
I can relate!!
Wow I'm right behind ya but on board 💯%
I know bad ass song
No matter what, I just can't can't get enough of Maynard. Whether I'm listening to Tool, A Perfect Circle or Pussifer.
I feel like Maynard is a genius.
Pure genius!
Love this song💜
Stephanie Jean Maynard's vocals are amazing, of course, but Billy Howardel is the real genius behind APC.
its spelled puscifer
Pure fucking genius he is. :)

I agree and Ashes diVIDE shows for it.
Moving in and out of the shadows
Its no easier mission
Holding onto how I picture you
Showing only bits and pieces
Till the tide betrays you and your empty allocution
Searching your eyes for a hint or a trace of humility
Searching your eyes for the saint is an act of futility
Searching your eyes for a hint or a trace of it
searching your eyes for humility
searching your eyes for a hint or a trace
I'm still searching searching
Showing all the missing pieces
Till the light betrays you and your empty allocution
Saw the Piper by and down the river
Caught his crippled alchemy
From pounding waves of adoration
Pied Piper float on down the river
Bloated carcass crippled me
The weight of adoration
Moving in and out of the shadows
Its no easy mission
Holding on to how I picture you.
Every time I listen to A Perfect Circle or Tool I get emotional. Even when I think I won't I do. Thank you guys for creating beautiful music and memories for me.
This song alone is worthy a grammy.
Yes
All APC songs are except feathers that one sounds pretty terrible IMO and like a couple others... But u get the point😂
fuck a grammy
feathers is the best song on Eat the elephant
AGREED!!!
Yep, definitely my favorite song by APC now. Maynard never fails to amaze me. He's a genius.
I could listen to this daily on repeat.
Stone and echo live at red rocks is one the best live recorded shows ever recorded in the history of recordings. The vibe they set live is unreal. This is how music is supposed to be. Full of emotion and passion.
tool and APC.
one of THE best bands ever
you mean TWO of the best bands ever
What about Puscifer? APC is the best of the three for me though
What do you mean about Puscifer when you ask what he means about Puscifer? Puscifer is never counted out, of the three, for me though
I agree on apc
Agree
Chills... great song. Love.
If this song was not here I would be dead
Rest In Peace Connan. You’ll always be the shadow in my heart.
That’s sad. 😢
One of the best songs ever
Im near tears.. 9 years now and worth it.
Wow.. This is an incredible soul melter. Simply astounding. I crave MORE!!!
I can't help but listen to this almost daily. I desperately need more APC and TOOL.
Same here. I can't wait til I get the Lateralus eye tattooed on me
Funny you should say that. I'm getting a cover-up done on my left arm, which will be part of a sleeve that mostly consists of TOOL artwork. Just working on finding the right tattoo artist to do it.
Be careful who you let do it cause my sister got the A Perfect Circle symbol on her ankle and the guy really fucked it up. The guy who's gonna be doing the Lateralus eye for me is really awesome at tattooing so i trust him and he's tattooed a lot of my friends so I don't really have to worry there.
***** So she should fit in to what you consider "original"? It's only ruined if what is put there isn't meaningful. What does ruin your image is judgment, though....so I'd say, with your judging, you are ruined.
***** So...someone made clones of you, and now they surround you?
This is my favorite song by A PERFECT CIRCLE
This version is so much better than the album....Amazing no matter what
One out of five of all tool/perfect circle songs end up on my life's soundtrack since the early 90s...opiate....
A Perfect Circle, Tool, and Puscifer got me to clean up my life, they will always be held closely to my heart for that reason.
hell ya, them and Deftones got me in the best shape of my life. Hard to explain but yea. I love them with all my heart and soul
Yep, same - mostly Puscifer, which is interesting considering I listen to the others more, but there you have it
I agree. Tool songs remind me how much of an asshole I am and how much work I have to change that 🤔
Searching your eyes for a hint or a trace of humility, searching your eyes for the Saint is an act of futility. 💗
So much of the Cure in this song.
It's good to feel sad because one day you won't be able to feel it anymore.
rarely do I say this but this comment was incredible. thank you. so simple and so true, effective as an arrow to the soul.
sting is right . wow !!!
this is so true of a comment... well done
Very true.
Without sadness moments of happiness are less meaningful and taken for granted as well.
you are a wise person
by and down"
Moving in and out of the shadows.
It's no easy mission,
Holding on to how I picture you.
Showing only bits and pieces,
Till the tide betrays you,
And your empty allocution.
Searching your eyes for a hint or a trace of humility.
Searching your eyes for the saint is an act of futility.
Searching your eyes for a hint or a trace of it.
Searching your eyes for humility.
Searching your eyes for a hint or a trace,
I'm still searching, searching.
Showing only bits and pieces,
Till the light betrays you,
And your empty allocution.
Rode the Piper by and down the river.
Carcass crippled underneath,
The pounding waves of adoration.
Pied Piper float on down the river.
Bloated carcass, crippled knee,
The weight of adoration.
Moving in and out of the shadows.
It's no easy mission,
Holding on to how I picture you.
maynard great lyricist.
Ifitallfails Love this song, but I think it may be "bloated carcass crippled 'neath the weight of adoration". It makes more sense anyway, especially because the earlier line was "carcass crippled underneath the heavy waves of adoration".
Ifitallfails pearl jam its in a feeling..
People see pictures..
crippled me

First time I heard it Maynard's voice actually brought a tear to my eye...this is is the one that moved me
I love Apc . Definitely an underappreciated band in my opinion..
This song has helped me to overcome my anxiety and dark thoughts. I have always loved APC and their music. Maynard Keenan poignant songwriting skills is impeccable.
Definitely captures the spirit of Thirteenth Step. Pure uncut awesomeness once again! MJK and the Crew once again magic up some amazing work!
The vocals in the first line blew me away. That is just unreal talent.
APC has always been the absolute best blend of perfection in instrumental play and genius lyrics. Life changing music, never seen in the metal or other stages. Listening to this makes sense of still playing albums from 10 or so years ago. Every note, every pitch pulls you closer to being...
You know a songs good, when it gives you da chills :3
I absolutely love this song!!!!

Profundo... te transporta desde la intro hasta el final... magnifica, una de mis favoritas, espero que regresen con mas hits.
Such an underrated song!!!!
Wow. Just, wow. This song is really hypnotizing. Great as always coming from a APC.
98 people who are afraid to hear how they are supposed to feel. America, a place where we are convinced we shouldn't feel. Not by good media, but instead by cowards who hate the thought we are all conscious feeling beings. all desperately lost trying to admit to ourselves WE NEED TO FEEL THIS! absolute zero emotions is our own undoing. wake up america and feel normal.
by far the best song!!
I can't believe I forgot about this song. Everything fits together beautifully
TH-cam won't let me like this more than once! I rally, rally like this!!
Omg this version sounds better than the album version! I mean they both are awesome versions!
So damn good. Welcome back APC. We missed you!
wow! never heard this version before!
you guys im eating breakfast and drinking tea while listening to this
Worf
Claps Hands. Listened to this when it was released. Continues to pop up in my inner radio from time to time.
I had to listen to this a few times, Once wasn't enough for me. APC is one of my favorite bands and always will be along with tool. Maynards lyrics are so wild.
The guitar notes in this are just perfect. Pulls at your emotions.
Cripplingly beautiful! Maynard and Apc always find a way exposing and elevating our dirty bits as well as our fragility. There's something about their music that just chills my blood and I crave it like heroine.
Very well put. I ask did you intend on spelling heroine like in a story? Either way, very beautifully put. It's nice to see someone carrying and thinking about what they are saying to people. Think before speaking. Well done.
Love this music man, Its really helped with my spiritual awakening and the expansion of my mind. Meditation was made easier through starting while listening to Maynard, taught me how to access certain parts of my consciousness on command.
His music does sound like it came from someone who has a deep understanding of both the dark and light extremes of consciousness.
This is a great comment i love reading these things. I have experienced the same states in a transcendental way.
I second that!
Love getting lost in Maynard's music...this song gives me the chills.
I've lucky enough to see APC quite a few times. Once met Maynard Keenan in a casino very nice man. He was there the show and playing at a table right before. My husband met a famous wrestler at a Cure concert at Shoreline in CA. He instantly knew who he was.
Don't know what I like more a perfect circle or tool ! This song is amazing!
Weight of adoration.
this relaxes me, it's art to my ears
That's where my heart was. Thanks for helping me find it again, guys. :)

got here from listening to a playlist of older Nostalghia songs and it all flows so beautifully
This album sounds like it will be a masterpiece!
this song takes me to that place where i feel all warm inside,and there is no other place i would rather be.
Yes, agreed I'm so anticipating their upcoming work-- an emotion that only comes from the experience.. Tuck
Oh......Biutiful! Tkx
This is absolutely amazing. The music, the lyrics, the experience I feel listening to it is so raw. This is a fucking timeless group. So is Tool and Pusifer. I fucking love y'all. You fill my days and nights with this awesome music that takes me away from all the bullshit around me and I thank y'all for real.
one word: AMAZING
Maynard, sing me to my death 🖤
A reason for living!!
The silence is crying, whining, trying to solidify in my mind. Or is it in yours, just screaming out to mine. The time is nigh, beyong a feeling of high tide, drowned in fear beyond a lost sign.

Song is AMAZING
BEST VERSION
Fuck, this song makes me cry and rejoice at the same time.
foarte frumos cantati baieti
never listened to this band until this song!
have you ever heard a guitar cry
Holy shit.....
Beautifully Said......
only by Prince
ever heard of frampton or pink floyd or led zepplin , doesnt negate that this is a really good song too
Well, my guitar gently weeps.
Just when I think I have heard all of your beautiful pieces, I hear another and fall in love all over again
I love this song...Alec all of apc's songs give me chills
I feel much more comfortable in a dark room now...... Good Times
"eargasmic music" is their username very fitting for this upload
Allocution . Interesting word. Maynard's lyrics only get better and were awesome to begin with. Each song is a multi faceted gem.
I miss new music from this band so much. I want their new album so bad. This band has a sound to it that I have never found in any other.
This is beautiful
this song brings me to tears. so beautiful; I could listen to Maynard sing me to my death.
So moody. Ya have to love it.
This is long overdue! Such a perfect song, no better way to define it really. I've missed APC since Thirteenth Step ( I wasn't a big fan of Emotive).
This song is incredibly strong and i feel like but with ambitious and ready. I listen to this song before work and after at least everyday. It's a masterpiece best song by Maynard or who ever wrote the song. By the way he's a strange dude. Truly he could be the pope i wouldn't care as long as his music is playing. stranger the better. By and Down- forever be in bed into my brain....
PEACE ALL
almost sounds like a cure influence in this song. love it
best song by a perfect circle.ever
nope
That's to hard to determine with so many great songs, Orestes is my favorite at the moment but it changes often
Zac Smothers Same here. Love Orestes.
Orestes first.
Love the Orestes love.
Top 5 fav songs forEVER. Maynard is a god/genius. I literally started bawling when they played this here in dallas ☺
Great song, so quiet, so APC, nice piece of music that remember the song Gravity,
the tone this music gives is so great puts me in a mellow mood
Beautiful
I freaking love this song for the rhythm. Pretty damn awesome.
Thanks for posting great song
