Yeah, I don’t know what it is. In 2003-2004 I overheard my newly found girlfriend saying that this guy Maynard’s voice makes her panties wet. I was super insecure and pissed off, like who the fuck is Maynard. Now 17 years later I get it. My panties aren’t wet but I get it.
"By And Down The River" Moving in and out of the shadow It's no easy mission, holding on to how I picture you Showing only bits and pieces 'Til the light betray 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 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 'Til the tide betrays you and your empty elocution Float 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 me, the weight of adoration Moving in and out of the shadows It's no easy mission, holding on to how I picture you
After learning about the shadow from 46 and 2... the difficulty of crossing through it from the humbling river... this song and Maynard are on another level of self discovery
This masterpiece, Right in Two, Brena, and Humbling River..would need 10 hours and a whiteboard to explain the meaning they've had and still have to my life. ❤
@@thebatman6201 Based on what exactly? I'm am about 95 percent sure that I saw an interview with Maynard where he explicitly states that Billy Howerdel was the lyricist for the album Eat The Elephant. Maynard provided insight in how to sing the song and tweaked some words here and there but the actual lyricist was Billy Howerdel
i dont think theres enough ppl talking about the mastery of the delivery of the first line of this song. The Moo Oo Oo Oovin inand outofthe shadoooooow. like you can almost see his voicing going in and out of a shadow so to speak. freaking brilliant. I could listen to 0:30-0:36 all day.
I wish I could say the same. I found a lot of these songs to sound like Thirteenth Step leftovers. Many have the same drum beat and tempo. I just felt the album overall was a bit boring. I guess nothing will ever be able to compare to Mer De Noms.
@@Diosys Exactly my thoughts. It's a good album in and of itself, but it feels like it's an album from another band. It feels "off" and a let down as an APC album.
@Verne Dimatteo Or...let's just respect that people have different opinions, instead of trying to disabuse people to conform to our own; especially on a subject as subjective as music.
@Verne Dimatteo You've made a lot of asinine assumptions there. You can disagree with my opinion all you want, but at least try and represent it accurately. I don't want a band to conform to my musical tastes, I want the band to freely express themselves; but that doesn't mean I have to like what they've produced. For the record, I do like this album, but it's a clear departure from the type of sound APC has produced prior, and IMO sounds almost like a different band; all the qualities I loved in previous APC albums are mostly missing in this new Album. It's a fool's errand to try and disabuse people of their musical tastes.
This was hard to read, but thank you for sharing it. I lost my 19 year old son to suicide in 2020. Every Tool, APC, Puscifer, and Deftones song makes me think of him. Music is healing, but it’s raw and painful sometimes too. Keep pushing through. Your brother is always with you
Love how you can hear Maynard much more in this one. His voice will forever be my favorite. "It's no easy mission holding on to how I picture you" that part in the beginning is just wow. 🖤
It’s like TOOL and The Cure collaborated - my heart is so full listening to this! So completely and perfectly what my numbed out soul needs right now. ✨💖💫
I love Thirteenth Step with a passion, but when I try to be as objective as possible (it's impossible, I know) I always end up concluding that this is the best song they've made.
I'm in love~ I've been feeling really lost without music of late. Rn the songs I do have on list I've worn out completely so it's just bland and monotonous with no heart left to give. I also had a moment when I deleted all of my music having been fed up with certain people and things in my life that I was about ready to kill that part of me for good despite the fact music has always been my life whether listening or creating. I'm really glad I remembered A Perfect Circle and looked up some of their songs to come across this. It's like a dark haze that surrounded me was lifted, and a wave of euphoric nostalgia that only comes in holy reverence of what makes us human inside washed over me to survive in a clock work orange society run by big brother and the machine.
Moving in and out of the shadow It's no easy mission, holding on to how I picture you Showing only bits and pieces 'Til the light betray 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 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 'Til the tide betrays you and your empty allocution Float 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 me, the weight of adoration Moving in and out of the shadows It's no easy mission, holding on to how I picture you
Such an Amazing Band Maynard is the G.O.A.T. Hands down best artist on this earth no matter who he makes music with it is always a pleasure to hear it Tool and Pucifer are just as amazing Maynard is just the best
My brother in sorrow, this touches deep within the soul. I understand to step to that edge, to long for the pain to release. So live my friend, live for your brother. Heal and be healed. One day the light will call us all home. God strengthen you.
How can a song hold so much beauty and heaviness all at once, and how is it that A Perfect Circle continues to somehow use that balance so effectively? There's just nothing quite like this band.
@@CraigKeidel It was still APC, but it was featured on their greatest hits album Three Sixty as a new single. They re-recorded it for this album and there are slight differences between the two.
Hoping for you to have strength, peace and comfort. Yesterday was my Mom's deathiversary, every day is a fight. They are still with us but in a different way.
He's our best friend. Spirit guide. Has been since day 1. One way best friends are just as important. Don't forget who makes a difference in your life through their work.
This is one of my favorite songs of all time!.... I really wanna see them in concert this next year. I wish they weren't so far away.... Everyone loves Florida!!! why not stop in over here!?!?!
I like this version a LOT. I do like the triplet play between the hats and ride in the last chorus section in the other version, but this one seems cleaner. Love em' both.
I skipped it for the longest time, thinking it was the original. Not that I didn't like it before, was just burnt out on it going into Eat the Elephant. One day while driving it played while I didn't have a second to skip, and oh boy was I shocked. For the next month or so I would tune into the album just to hear this version.
Absolutely. And as far as Tool and Puscifer goes, in the wonderfully twisted. (Tool), tortured (APC) and tuneful (Puscifer) world of Maynard there's absolutely a place for this holy trinity. Hail, hail.
Only those completely betrayed by their love can truly understand the depth of the lyrics. Unfortunately there's no holding on to the illusion you loved.
How did I pass up this album?! After getting big into Puscifer a few months ago, came back to A Perfect Circle for more Maynard... and boy am I sure glad I did. I've had this song in particular on repeat a lot!

Maynard's voice is the only man's voice that gives me chills and I'm man enough to admit it
And Mike Patton!!
❤❤❤❤
Maynard touches your soul and self awareness. The only other deep in the feels man's voice is Aaron Lewis - Lost and Lonely. Ball like a baby.
Yeah, I don’t know what it is. In 2003-2004 I overheard my newly found girlfriend saying that this guy Maynard’s voice makes her panties wet. I was super insecure and pissed off, like who the fuck is Maynard. Now 17 years later I get it. My panties aren’t wet but I get it.
Check opeth out Mikael is a god he's from Sweden
Maynard’s voice takes you to another realm.
So does Dave brockie’s.
Bro u ain't never lied
A straight fact 💯
Beautifully
❤
Literally brought tears to my eyes...I love Maynard and his voice has been my escape for many years..
I literally can barely listen to anyone or anything else. 😍 some have jesus I have Maynard
Sad day when he passes
Starting off with tears in my eyes from the last song: this will be a journey
I'm not one to be categorized but I am okay with being a Maynard worshiper.
His lyrics and what he says and his ideas were always my draw
I fucking love this song, this album, this band and most of all: Maynard, such a bloody genius.
He just change in a way Physiologically with tone that Manor jeans Keenan never had images expression in the song it’s amazing
"By And Down The River"
Moving in and out of the shadow
It's no easy mission, holding on to how I picture you
Showing only bits and pieces
'Til the light betray 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 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
'Til the tide betrays you and your empty elocution
Float 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 me, the weight of adoration
Moving in and out of the shadows
It's no easy mission, holding on to how I picture you
Kerry Griffin wow thanks😅
WOW foreal
Elocution *
Thank you posting the lyrics. I love Maynard, TOOL, APC, and Puscifer. Take care!!
❤
His Voice moves me like..
The Strength of a father...
And the Intention of a mother.
Intension
This whole album is getting me through my life right now. Thank you.
RIP
@@matthewanthony4606 Wow, you come of as an asshat. I hope that you weren't saying that at Nycki's expense.
You're not the only one in that aspect in regards to this jewel of vinyl.
the more i listen the more it seems to be so on point . keep your head up. much love . many blessings
Same here brotha. Stay 💪. 🫡 to those who’s going through shit but continuing to push on through.
Geez Billy is an underestimated guitarist. Deserves way more cake!
The lyrics though. I mean.
very Cure influenced and I likey

AGREEEEE
Same
Damn man, I haven't noticed that before. Another awesome little thing added to my collection of Maynard's brilliancy.
A little late to the party with how Maynard integrates word meanings into annunciations.
The man is an absolute mastermind. It's probably my favorite part of the song too.
This album is the best thing that could have happened to APC. I love the way the band keeps evolving. What a beautiful journey to be a fan of yours!

I am having a perfect circle renaissance in my life now. I love this album. Took me years to listen to it. It's amazing
priceless🤯🥳🍻
It takes about 25 listens to figure it out. This song is a masterpiece of music. The lyrics, voice, buildup, bass, drums, the harmony. It's beautiful.
Me too... I didn't listen till years later. The price of tickets really turned me off to my favorite bands. Sucks

MoooOoOving in and out of the shadow, the man is an absolute legend
From A Perfect Circle comes...... A Perfect Song.
I have a feeling this album is going to help me through the next chapter of my life
Jesus loves you :)

Did it? Has it? Are you okay?
It has for me
How could it not?

Everyone talking about which version of this song is better, and I just feel lucky that we get to enjoy BOTH.
Ten second into the vocal performance..... Speechless...
Same
If this music doesn't touch your soul then we are not the same
It’s like TOOL and The Cure collaborated - my heart is so full listening to this! So completely and perfectly what my numbed out soul needs right now. ✨💖💫
That’s because it’s Maynard James Keenan haha
I hear the Cure in this too!!
@@JeNnMjOnEs1 🤘🤩🖤
@@cleverunicorn 💯 percent correct my lady
i was searching for this, thanks for the self validation
My love for rock died a long time ago but maynard and apc has reignited my love for it and i cant thank them enough
This song might be the greatest thing I ever heard 👂
Come to be ensorcelled by the lord of choir of heaven once more.
I love Thirteenth Step with a passion, but when I try to be as objective as possible (it's impossible, I know) I always end up concluding that this is the best song they've made.
Chill
It's definitely up there, but Orestes imo is there best overall sound wise and Maynard's vocals and Billy too
The only song that gets our newborn to stop crying and go to sleep
Rumor is that the newborn’s first word was “Maynard”.
Hey Cayce 👋My daughters song 🎵was SO BY WAR
gangster :)
I discovered this album when I was in quarantined during the pandemic. Better late than never they say
I'm in love~

Thank you for lyrics ☺️
bump this to the top
This is so poetic
It's allocution not elocution. Allocution is a formal warning or speech. So he's saying that the words were empty.
Such an Amazing Band Maynard is the G.O.A.T. Hands down best artist on this earth no matter who he makes music with it is always a pleasure to hear it Tool and Pucifer are just as amazing Maynard is just the best
My brother in sorrow, this touches deep within the soul. I understand to step to that edge, to long for the pain to release. So live my friend, live for your brother. Heal and be healed. One day the light will call us all home. God strengthen you.
First heard this running at 3am in the cold . Masterpiece!
Less pride more humility
You got it bb
His voice goes through my soul
How can a song hold so much beauty and heaviness all at once, and how is it that A Perfect Circle continues to somehow use that balance so effectively? There's just nothing quite like this band.
there never will be, MJK is a genre
Yup Maynard still sounds like an angel
On my top 50 list ever. Beautiful song. Very powerful
Waves of goosebumps
Right when he started singing I got chills. Dam I love the original of this but this is great
Who does the original? Not familiar
Oh I see, it was a Puscifer track. I'm not big into Puscifer, my bad.
@@CraigKeidel It was still APC, but it was featured on their greatest hits album Three Sixty as a new single. They re-recorded it for this album and there are slight differences between the two.
This song will forever be my favourite. The last song I heard while my son drove me to work. He died that night. R.I.P son.
Hoping for you to have strength, peace and comfort. Yesterday was my Mom's deathiversary, every day is a fight. They are still with us but in a different way.
He's our best friend. Spirit guide. Has been since day 1. One way best friends are just as important. Don't forget who makes a difference in your life through their work.
Between Depeche Mode and all MJK does I'm thankful I got to live in this era. Thank you!
Maynard's voice and Howerdel's guitars are phenomenal
The 2 different versions offer 2 different emotions
Cannot play enough of this album
I get chills down my spine
Greatest band in the world. Period. See you all next week in all your infinite glory. Counting the days....
And done. Lots of travel to get there....worth every step. Absolutely incredible. See you again in December for the sequel 👍
Searching your eyes for a hint or a trace of humility, searching searching and still searching... harder to find than i thought..
This is one of my favorite songs of all time!.... I really wanna see them in concert this next year. I wish they weren't so far away.... Everyone loves Florida!!! why not stop in over here!?!?!
Road trip?
Peace brothers, lets light one up 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 and smoke to those we have lost.
this is one of my more favorite (newish) APC songs.
One of my all time favorites. Wow. What a song. Sneaks up on you.
Loss of words....can only describe this song to me....
Exactly
One of my favorite songs from this album!
One of my favorite songs of all time.
This album is a Master piece.
I love and appreciate both versions of this great song! Love Maynard!!
This is actually so good, I forgot this album actually slaps
Can't believe I only ""heard "this today.... BRAVO!!!
Beautiful magnificent outrageous song
I love this version! It’s more personal I feel. More intimate with his voice🔥
In my 13 years listening to this band, this remains my favorite track.
His voice was even better live
If there was ever a song to elaborate the constant inner battle a veteran has to deal with, in finding a reason to keep living..this is it.
This album got me through some rather dark moments, thank you APC!
OMG 😢 sleep peaceful brother for the rest of us are all still here with you.
X
Why can I not stop listening to this song.
This is a band that’s truly evolved with the time!!
Amen
I like this version a LOT. I do like the triplet play between the hats and ride in the last chorus section in the other version, but this one seems cleaner. Love em' both.
I love you all for knowing good music. we love you apc
Gahhhh, Maynard's voice... ❤❤❤
At first I was a little disappointed I saw this on the tracklist.. but boy did my mind change when I heard this amazing version. Keeps getting better.
I skipped it for the longest time, thinking it was the original. Not that I didn't like it before, was just burnt out on it going into Eat the Elephant. One day while driving it played while I didn't have a second to skip, and oh boy was I shocked.
For the next month or so I would tune into the album just to hear this version.
God this song is dope. Traditional APC
This song is amazing
бро,ломаешь стереотипы:отдыхают все,не хочу перечислять уважаю твое творчество на протяжении+-5,7 лет:уважение,хек ор мерикосов,но вы:"это что-то!"
I have listened to this song so many times that even my cat knows all the words to it....
Farwest Photography FFL i will eat your cat
Don't tell the Chinese about this
I first heard this as a toddler sitting in a car with my family and hearing it now brings back so many memories
Album of the year.
anish sengupta psych!
anish sengupta Tool album is also this year, so...
Absolutely. And as far as Tool and Puscifer goes, in the wonderfully twisted. (Tool), tortured (APC) and tuneful (Puscifer) world of Maynard there's absolutely a place for this holy trinity. Hail, hail.
Nope sargiest unbound or vergrav netherstorm is album of the year..try again poser!!!
Absolutely
I hope Maynard and every band he has been in has their work preserved for at least 500 years
Only those completely betrayed by their love can truly understand the depth of the lyrics.
Unfortunately there's no holding on to the illusion you loved.
🖤
I love this song ❤️ ✌️🕊️🕊️
One of my favourite songs from their new album!
Most beautiful moments aren't seen or acknowledged by most.
Kinda sounds like when they played it live at Red Rocks. Again the intro 🖤🖤🖤🖤
Just found this and i love it. I feel like it hits me right in the heart. Definitely a favorite now...
God, It sounds so AUSOME
Love the remake of one of my fav tracks
Jp Ferri ❤️❤️❤️
o thank god I noticed some different drums on it ..im not mad so
no more lies yeah I noticed those too, especially that one part about 3/4 in
I wonder why they did it ?
no more lies probably to keep this version unique
It's okay, VERY TALENT MUSIC 😮
Oh hi, I buried my heart here for safekeeping.
Hi
herbert's got a set of pipes on em
HOLY SHIT I LOVE THIS VERSION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How did I pass up this album?! After getting big into Puscifer a few months ago, came back to A Perfect Circle for more Maynard... and boy am I sure glad I did. I've had this song in particular on repeat a lot!
it is awesome!! Eat it. Bit by bit.
saw them last year, this song is burned into my brain, 2 hits were kickin in a powerful moment to be sure
Simply on replay😊
My favorite on the record! This record is beautiful ❤
please, freeze the world and let me listen to this song FOREVER!!
Love the solitude captured with every note he hits and matches lyrics to ecclerate
The searching par your heart for a hint or a Trace Part is a special kind of magic only MJK can deliver
Thank you for this MASTERPIECE. It speaks right into my soul.
It truly was a perfect circle.
for sure, 85,000 of those views are mine. i love this song. moving. epic. phenomenal.
