One of the greatest songs of any civilization.. Aliens may visit us one day, give give them this song as a representation of who we are and they will think we are on par with them, in the same intellectual level.
I just want to know why I cry when I really listen to this song. This shit is like a prayer. I dont even know how to describe this. I am not the only one, thats impossible!
I embrace my desire to I embrace my desire to Feel the rhythm, to feel connected Enough to step aside and weep like a widow To feel inspired To fathom the power To witness the beauty To bathe in the fountain To swing on the spiral To swing on the spiral to Swing on the spiral Of our divinity And still be a human It really does feel like it could be a holy writ, couldn't it? It really does touch on the divinity of the human being. It's why I want this song played at my funeral.
I’m pasting someone else explanation, can’t remember the name, but one of the best explanation: Lateralus is written with very complicated time signatures which is why it was initially hard for you to pick up the rhythm. It approximates the Fibonacci sequence in the first section, which is mathematically significant. The Fibonacci sequence starts with the number 1, and then each number is added to the sum that precedes it. 1-1-2-3-5-8-13-21-34-55-89... and so on. In this case, Tool plays the intro in 9/8, 8/8, 7/8, or 9-8-7. 987 is the 16th number in this sequence. Maynards lyrics/vocals for the first few verses also follow the Fibonacci sequence very closely with each syllable. If you were to sing along, it would look like this: "Black(1)...then(1)...white are(2)...all I see(3)...in my in-fan-cy(5)...Red and yel-low then came to be(8)..." and then in reverse back down to 1 as the verse(s) continues. The sequence is contextually significant as well as it translates visually into a spiral. The message in the song is about pushing yourself with experience to constantly expand your mind/consciousness,... to evolve onward and outward; much like a spiral. This is accentuated with the last passages of the song as "Spiral Out... Keep Going...".
Yeah that's good explanation. Additionally, to simplify it, While it does show up elses where, a person can hear the sequence in the lyrics easy enough. Count the syllables.. 1 black 1 then 2 white are 3 all I see 5 in my infancy It is the golden ratio and if you take a line with an arch in those proportions it will create a spiraling out image. The pattern is simple enough by adding the number to the previous number (ex. 1+1=2, 2+1=3, 3+2=5, etc) To the statement just feel the music and ignore the thought, creativity, message, ingenuity.. and to end it calling you a dope. Was ignorance. But it was for people like that the song "hooker with a penis" was made.. lol.. as long as he buys it, it's cool. There is a remedy for folks like that put out by puscifer as well.
@@AzaDio calling him a dope? wtf, i called the music dope lmao i guess you do alotta drugs but yeah keep doing math with your calculator while i enjoy the music
@@DigitalBath306 fuck that nerd shit? , buddy let me tell you that what you are calling "shit" it is actually so brilliant and genius that i pity you for not being able to enjoy it
@@djaxupjazz Indeed...when I haven’t listened to them in weeks or months (rare) and then return I’m reminded instantly that it is “TooL” and then “every other band” and honestly it isn’t even close. And my musical horizons & oceans & are broad & deep.
The Fibonacci sequence is the sequence of numbers in which each number is the sum of the two numbers before it. So 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13... If you graph the sequence as tiles with squares of the length of the number of the sequence, and connect the opposite end of each square, the pattern forms a spiral. The spiral pattern of the sequence comes up over and over again in nature, from spiral galaxies to the arrangement of petals in flowers, branches and leaves on trees, even in the stories of mollusk shells. The sequence is the hidden language of nature. The syllables in most of the song follow the sequence Black (1) Then (1) White are (2) all I see (3) in my infancy (5) red and yellow then came to be (8) reaching out to me (5) let's me see (3). I don't know what more can be said of this song other than it's a tour de force.
Bro your wife’s shirt CAIFANES is a great mexican band, you should to react to AFUERA is the name of a great song of them Great reaction as usual I love your videos and TOOL....man that’s another music level 🤘🏼
Been listening to TOOL everyday since 1990 seen them 12 times 13 coming November 20th 2023 in Toronto 🤘🏼 I can still remember hearing this sing for the first time it gave me GOOSEBUMPS & everytime hearing it after it still does I have them now listening to this video as I type this. T⚙️🗜L is & always will be my favorite band my 🥈nd favorite is Black Sabbath.
The single greatest song ever. You guys do have the lyrics up for these while listening, right? Maynard’s lyrics are simply magical. If not, I’d like to see new reaction videos to each of the TooL songs you’ve already done but with lyrics. It’s a funny thing TooL does...as their songs almost fit together like a puzzle. The lyrics and what the song is about are the last piece of their puzzle. Although one could argue it’s the first.
With my feet upon the ground I lose myself Between the sounds and open wide to suck it in I feel it move across my skin I'm reaching up and reaching out I'm reaching for the random or what ever will bewilder me What ever will bewilder me And following our will and wind we may just go where no one's been We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no one's beenAmazing lyrics!
This song, for me, has to be one of the greatest there is. Everything that goes into it is just on a whole other level. The concept for how they built it, the way the song flows and changes and evolves as it progresses. The drums are an everpresent and dominating force without overpowering everything else going on, the guitar is played beautifully, and the bass accompanies it in amazing ways. Everything kind of just flows in and out away from each other and just keeping intertwining as they go. And, of course, Maynard's lyrics and their delivery is truly something incredible. Everything from the guitar solo half-way through and on is wonderful in ways I don't think I'll ever get over. It just speaks to the soul.
Always nice to get those spine tingling chills from the song added with your reactions. Peeing your pants a little doesn't hurt either. Yep I was the guy that said something similar in another video of yours. When I get those chills it's worth mentioning though.
Black (1) Then (1) White Are (2) All I see (3) In my In fan-cy (5) Red And Yel-low then came to be (8) Rea-ching out to me (5) Lets me see (3) As Be-low So A-bove and Be-yond I I-ma-gine (13) Drawn Be-yond The Lines of Rea-son (8) Push The En-ve-lope (5) Watch it bend (3) There is (2) So (1) Much (1) More And (2) Beck-ons me (3) to look through to these (5) in-fi-nite poss-i-bil-i-ties (8) Fibonacci Sequence is an infinite thing. 1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34, and on. You add the current number to the previous one. so 1,1 becomes 2. 1+1=2. The 2 is added to the 1 before it which gives you 3. The 3 plus the 2 before it becomes 5. 5 added to the 3 before it becomes 8. And so on. The syllables in the verse are what create the Fibonacci sequence in the song. And the drums follow the pattern as well. As do the time signatures. 9/8 8/8 7/8. 987 was the original title of the song and, not likely a coincidence, is also the 16th number in the Fibonacci Sequence. You have the Golden Spiral or Golden Ration which is a spiral pattern seen throughout nature and the universe. Numerically the Golden Ratio is 1.618. Maynard starts signing at 1:37. Which is 1.618 minutes. Can also take 1:37 and put it to 13:7. 13 being the 7th number in the sequence. In the fight game they say "There's levels to this shit". This band is on another level when they write their music and it shows. This song is nothing short of masterpiece levels of creativity and genius.
1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55 the smaller the number, the closer to the midddle you are. The bigger the number, the further you are from the center. As the sequence grows, so does the spiral.
This song made me love music and is every reason I listen to music… it’s like a deus ex machina bailout from the traps of monotonous reality… a door for the soul to be free… this song probably saved my life honestly
That was fun, love when you guys do Tool! You are literally in the darkest room, and I am lounging by the pool in sunny Sydney, with a makeshift tent from my towel 😁😁. Ironically, at the end of this clip, you both looked like you had spiralled in!! Good call wifey, always intrigued by your reactions to these songs 💝💝.
You really need to react "Devin Townsend - Deadhead (live)" Genius Canadian musician (he wrote a song with Gojira too for SeaSheperd one time and he is creator of Strapping Young Lad)
He won’t react to Strapping young lad for some reason. I’ve requested it about a dozen times. He seems to stuck in his Gojira, Tool phase. I wish he would check out Detox, I’m sure his mind would be blown. Some day I guess.
"Swing on the spiral of our divinity and still be a human"
What a fucking line
TOOL is the golden ratio of music.
One of the great metal songs of the last 20 years 🤟
Actually the greatest album of the 21 century. Memorize this people. Peace.
One of the greatest songs/albums of any year or any decade, of any genre 🤘🤘
One of the greatest songs of any civilization.. Aliens may visit us one day, give give them this song as a representation of who we are and they will think we are on par with them, in the same intellectual level.
No doubt

Best song ever written from humankind
Your wife gets it man!!! SHE GETS TOOL!🤘🏽🤘🏽

She is a keeper for sure
I just want to know why I cry when I really listen to this song. This shit is like a prayer. I dont even know how to describe this. I am not the only one, thats impossible!

Feel the rhythm, to feel connected
Enough to step aside and weep like a widow
To feel inspired
To fathom the power
To witness the beauty
To bathe in the fountain
To swing on the spiral
To swing on the spiral to
Swing on the spiral
Of our divinity
And still be a human
It really does feel like it could be a holy writ, couldn't it? It really does touch on the divinity of the human being. It's why I want this song played at my funeral.

Maybe Tool’s best work right here. But I say that after every song I hear from them.
Feed my will to feel this moment....urging me to cross the line. Reaching out to embrace the random. Reaching out to embrace whatever may come.
this song is full of great lyrics that totally work for me :)

why tho?
I liked the song I love prog, just curious

Now you dig the "spiral out" thing among tool heads I guess😉
Absolutely Awesome!!!! You need a "TooL" night like TooL Tuesday or something!!! A once in a lifetime band!!!!
I like that idea! 😆
BTW I'm shocked you guys haven't given SCHISM a listen!
To me it's one of Danny's finest drum works 🥁🤤

Greatest song ever!
You two are the ones I'll listen with any fucking day. No end.
I love you guys! Such a special relationship! More Tool please!!!
Thank you! 😊
The dude here represents most of our reactions the first time hearing songs like this by Tool. It's like it's impossible.
I will literally stop anything I'm doing the day you have her listen Jambi! And some of the good old car days Gojira songs!
I’ve never seen him listen to The Pot either.
Rocking the Caifanes shirt! you guys should do "La Celula que Explota" 🤘 keep up the good work
Caifanes!!!!! Yes! That’s a great song 🤘
Probably the best Tool reaction I’ve ever seen. Your faces were saying everything.
🤯🤯🤯❣️❣️❣️
Dont ever stop listening to music masterpieces like this ❤

Porcupine tree - Arriving somewhere but not here
Yes!
Or Anesthetize..
Excellent made my long night shift much more enjoyable ,cheers guys from UK. Best reviews on the best band always 👍
With my feet upon the ground I lose myself
Between the sounds and open wide to suck it in
I feel it move across my skin
I'm reaching up and reaching out
I'm reaching for the random or what ever will bewilder me
What ever will bewilder me
And following our will and wind we may just go where no one's been
We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no one's beenAmazing lyrics!
Gotta do Adam’s “The Witness”. It’s so dope
Adam, Justin, and Danny playing "new" music!
Totally.
"¾ of Tool"
It totally sounds like an early version of Tempest or descending
I hope to some day experience the joy you guys have sharing such beautiful moments together. Rock on!
It’s exactly what we love doing ☺️ sharing the music experience and having these moments together - it’s awesome 🤘
I think she's ready for Lost Keys/Rosetta Stoned now. Great reaction as always!
The patient is between those songs it's a story about thinking you are the chosen one but your really on drugs and completely lost
Best reaction ever!!
Thank you 😊

Listening to TOOL in a CAIFANES tee. Omg love her! 🤍 love y’all’s videos!
This song is so powerful and meaningful, overall perfection, it reaches your senses and goes deep until you embrace it as a whole.
