I don't have a favorite Tool song, but if I absolutely had to choose one song in this world to listen to, it would be this. This was so well done. I'm impressed.
I adore Maynard, but gosh darnit I love hearing your amazing voice and these stripped down versions. I'm actually able to appreciate the actual lyrics because I can understand them! Oftentimes I can't do that with the original studio versions. Too much instrumentation on the albums maybe? My ears get distracted😂
I’m 62. Tool didn’t hit my radar back in the day. But for the last two decades …. Man. Then your covers came into my feed. I’m all acoustic n play the range. Now Tool. Great covers! So we’ll done.
This is mindblowingly good my brother. This song and others were big factors in my ability to emancipate myself from juvenile narcissism. Now I must flee. My environment is toxic. Going to be a drifter. Vanlife.
Dude your Tool covers are just on another level! You reduce them to their core very creatively and on an acoustic!!! Genius! Please keep pursuing your passion. Sooner or later it's gonna happen. 🤘🤘🤘 Cheers
As an old school Tool listener, I did feel like the new album was like lateralus b sides. Instead of a progressive direction like their previous works. I enjoyed your original works more than the new tool album. Just sayin.
@@peterspiker9960 Well, there's still A Perfect Circle and perhaps also Puscifer. Your cover of Orestes was also perfect, so I guess there's a lot left. We can't count on Tool for a new album :)) Besides, if you can cover Tool this good, I'm sure other artists' songs would be great as well. AND there's always making tutorials for your most popular covers! That usually brings even more audiences. Dude your covers are getting more and more noticed in the Tool community, because they are very good. So definitely a tutorial is going to be well appreciated. I know that I would definitely love to see one. Cheers
i have been a tool fan all mmy life , also i love to watch bands play them songs in acoustic , now i found both ! love from portugal, found your channel just now , will be watching all your work men , keep it up, love !
I think I’ve seen Most/all of your Tool covers… this one is amazing as well. Have you done Disposition yet. I think you have a fantastic and unique voice. I’d love to hear your version of this song
My journey of despair, survival, and empowerment through the lyrics of 5 songs by Maynard James Keenan from Tool and A Perfect Circle. Reflection: The Outsider: Lateralus: Jambi: Parabola: Review under the Reflection by Peter Spiker: PHENOMENAL!!! But MORE IMPORTANT you helped save my life and save my mother from losing her only son! I was this song this summer and last year. I had brain damage for 2 years and it was the darkest time of my life. I was not improving after a year and a half. Not able to drive, talk coherently, organize anything, could not sleep, had violent brain shakes/pain, and could not find solutions to simple problems. I came curiously close to the end! Beneath my self-indulgent pitiful hole, I concede. Defeated, fetal, and weeping, I looked for something to end the darkness in my garage, a saw, a knife, a rope, something effective so I would not survive and be in a worse dilemma. I stepped into the living room, and on the TV daily news the words NOT THE RIGHT DECISION in large font and stayed there for a little while. I knew my mother had angels. I listened to your AMAZING cover of Reflection every day for months. Finally, a turn of events led to the ability to crucify my ego: self-focus, not talking to others and not trying to help people worse off, lack of self-forgiveness, lack of self-love, focusing on mistakes, and doubts of abilities. Over two years ago I had extreme anxiety because I realized I needed to sell property under quickly changing market conditions that could lead to me being stuck in a detrimental financial and living situation. I could not sleep due to the negative reality I thought I would endure if I could not sell in time. I medicated to shut out the drama in my head so I could sleep. Due to the decreasing efficacy of individual sleep aids, in desperation, I combined 5 sleep meds/solutions at once for a period of 3 weeks, at the tail end my brain fried, the cocktail of sleep meds severely damaged my cognitive abilities. I experienced the symptoms stated in the first paragraph for more than a year. My body's immunity started breaking down. I ended up with a severe staph infection that left a large hole in my left thigh (6 inches long, 3 inches wide, 3.5 inches deep) that took 3 months to heal. Depressed, due to the lack of improvement, decreasing immunity of my body, and lack of coherent functioning of my mind; I became a suicidal imbecile pounding on a fault line. Disconnecting from the people who loved me, and self-destructing my mind and body one thought at a time. What was it going to take to get through to me and not throw it all away? What a mess I was, what was my rush, everyone will have their day to die. Finally, I had to travel for my mother's health to El Salvador. I saw poverty and tragedy far worse than my drama which I truly thought proved sincere. Also traveled, to Mexico, I saw and met people who were in terrible situations that were not going to change but were fighting for another day, and were happy regardless of their extremely challenging circumstances. It was a back slap into gratitude! If they were above ground it's because they fought for another day, then I needed to find a way. I had a roof over my head, money to survive without working, and help from my mother. In my darkest moment, the moon told me a secret, this light is not my own, it comes from a source that bright and endless. The more people I met the more a million light reflections that passed over me. Their love for life despite their tragic circumstances, was light that was bright and endless. It started to resuscitate my hopelessness. I didn't want to stay in my negative hole soothing my narcissism but that is easy to do when you isolate from the world and the people that love you. Meeting them face to face and hearing their stories of survival helped me pull my head out, feeling that without one doubt I wanted to exit my darkness/my drama that was negative, blind, and clinical. I was praying that their light would lift me up before I pined away. I met so many people who shined brightness even though their darkness was far worse than mine, that their light started to touch me, their words of resilience started to spill through me. After more than 2 years and a variety of lessons, I let the light of others pass through me which enabled me to bring out my hope and reason (to live). My brain finally came back. I was Happy AF!! I went on a 36-day adventure to Colombia and Brazil, where I gave daily to many many people on the streets, lots of food, money, medicine, and advice. As well as to people who helped me and empowered me with their light. Gave love, shared how to stay in gratitude, and inspired people to help others worse off. Gave over 135K USD in helping and enabling resilience. In that journey, I saw miracles happen daily and realized we are all one mind, and capable of all that's imagined and all conceivable!! I experienced the power of our unity in amazing ways because the more I gave the more that miracles happened for me. It was practically immediate. I had many bad things happen to me but because I gave more when my situation was worse, the universe took care of me. Every bad thing led to an even more amazing experience or solution than I had planned or I was put in a place to help others in more dire circumstances and my bad situation was fixed or cured quickly! Today, I am empowered, with both feet on the ground, in touch with my intuition, I am not overthinking, nor overanalyzing so I don't separate my body from my mind which would wither my intuition, and lead to missing and leaving opportunities behind. I feed my will to be in the moment and feel as one with the everyone, especially the people I help and love. I welcome the random and look forward to being bewildered by the unexpected. I welcome whatever may come because I know I will overcome. Every time something bad/unplanned happened, it turned out to lead to more amazing experiences than I could have imagined. I embrace my desire to feel the rhythm of the hearts of the people that I helped, to feel connected. To feel inspired and fathom the power of the universe in my life daily. I have witnessed the beauty of giving love, the eyes that light up when you help in moments of need. I have bathed in the fountain of their gratitude and my gratitude for them coming into my life. I am blessed to learn from them and experience their love and appreciation. I embrace my desire to step aside from my forward movement and weep like a widow, side by side with someone who is going through a difficult time, and help them through the darkness to see the light, so it can pass through them to bring out their hope and reason. This enables me to see the full spectrum of colors and the beauty of the different people in this world and it beckons me to see and attract endless possibilities. To all the people who have helped me thrive through bad and good times, the more I accomplish in my mission to empower, as my success grows, I will make sure yours does as well. Thank you so much! I love you! Looking forward to sharing my lessons, my rewards, giving to you, empowering you, and making a difference together. The power of the universe, our oneness, has my back and enables me not to miss opportunities to help others and be rewarded. I have been pushing the envelope and watching it bend for the greater good leading to amazing outcomes for all. I now know I can imagine outside the lines of reason and together we can ride and swing on the spiral of our divinity, still be human, and go where no one's been. It's incredible to know this without one doubt and be empowered to help many. Though here from the king's mountains view, here from the wild dream come true, feast like a sultan I do, the universe rewards me for what I do. though, I would give it all away, if I thought for just one day before your time, I would lose you, you are my peace of mind, my home, my fulcrum, my center, my mother. I would try to hold on one more day. Mother your love and fortitude are my benevolent sun. You have shined your light on me and so many others, so we all become one. You know that divided we wither away. So you've shined bright, and lit my way and on so many others to survive another day, another season. You shined on the broken until we all become one. Dim my eyes if they should comprise our fulcrum. No prize that I could hold would justify giving my center away. If my wants and needs divide us, then I might as well be gone. I will help you shine bright my beautiful mother, we are all blessed by your light. Your light enables me to silence the poison of negativity and despair. It empowers me so doubt stays out of my way. We are eternal, our bodies are not, all this pain is an illusion. We are not alone when we twirl around this familiar parabole. Spinning, weaving around each new experience in this divine gift of life. This body holding me reminds me of my own mortality. So embrace this moment. Realize this blessing and celebrate the chance to be alive and breathing! After surviving my dark times of body and mind, I shine my light as bright as I can on the darkness of others to find and empower our hope and reason and ride the spiral to the end, and we may just go to a place where no one's been. Your covers highlight the lyrics of Maynard's extraordinary intelligence, wisdom, and understanding of how the universe works. THANK YOU!!! For saving lives with your art! Your vocal, guitar, and percussion skills are REMARKABLE!!!! We will meet one day and I will help you share your light with many so we can save and help others like you did for me. Today: I am empowering others by giving love daily! Allen Stone's LOVE :
David! What an amazing story to read. Thank you so much for sharing it with me and this community. I know the power of Maynard's lyrics have had an effect on so many of us here. Your kind words about my covers are also very much appreciated and humbling. Imagine all of the things you might achieve in the years ahead now that you've found the strength to overcome the hard times you've had to endure. Be well, my friend!
I have come curiously close to the end though Beneath my self-indulgent pitiful hole Defeated I concede and move closer I may find comfort here I may find peace within the emptiness How pitiful It's calling me (calling me) It's calling me (calling me) It's calling me (calling me) It's calling me And in my darkest moment, fetal and weeping The Moon tells me a secret, a confidant As full and bright as I am This light is not my own and A million light reflections pass over me The source is bright and endless She resuscitates the hopeless Without her, we are lifeless satellites drifting And as I pull my head out, I am without one doubt Don't want to be down here soothing my narcissism, I Must crucify the ego before it's far too late I pray the light lifts me out Before I pine away (pine away) Before I pine away (pine away) Before I pine away (pine away) Before I pine away So crucify the ego, before it's far too late And leave behind this place so negative and blind and cynical And you will come to find that we are all one mind Capable of all that's imagined and all conceivable So let the light touch you so that the words spill through And let the past break through, bringing out our hope and reason Before we pine away (pine away) Before we pine away (pine away) Before we pine away (pine away) Before we pine away
Hell yeah man!!! I love the vocals! Definitely gained a new subscriber, don’t know if you’ve heard of All Them Witches, but I bet you do a killer cover of any of their songs!
Rosetta Stoned is so frustrating because I have it completely down and love to play it by myself BUT! I don’t know how to get around Maynard’s unusual vocals at the start of the song. If I ever come up with a solution I’ll definitely cover it 🤘
Everything you do by tool is spot on . Love the vocals, love the guitar skills. I do have a request if you could do black label society, Still born acoustic
This is actually kind of amazing. Ive been listening to the original off and on since it came out in 2001 and your version really makes the lyrics stand out so much more. Ive had your version on repeat for the last couple days. Is there a place to buy these versions?
Can you tell me how you are recording your guitar? it sounds so clean, especially with the percussion. Is it plugged in or did you put a mic out of frame?
Honestly i thought that acoustic cover of this song is immposible but somehow you nailed it. Dude, im singing along with You and i bet i piss off my neighbours, but f*ck it. They don't know whats coming, i will start learning guitar. My guitar will be more autistic than acoustic but screw it.
@@peterspiker9960 wow that's super impressive ! Do you have any tips for a beginner? I can play guitar decent but I feel like my voice is lacking. How do you go about learning to sing the songs ?
@@acbeats3994 I don't have any technical advise other than to sing all the time, to the point of irritating others. Whatever control I have I owe to using my voice a LOT.
I’m 62. Tool didn’t hit my radar back in the day. But for the last two decades …. Man. Then your covers came into my feed. I’m all acoustic n play the range. Now Tool. Great covers! So we’ll done.
I don't have a favorite Tool song, but if I absolutely had to choose one song in this world to listen to, it would be this. This was so well done. I'm impressed.

That’s funny, while I’ve been doing these Tool covers I’ve learned a lot of new lyrics I had no idea about…
Finally the UA-cam algorithm is working and sending me things I need to watch!! Awesome work.
one of my favourite Tool songs. You always do them justice :)

This is mindblowingly good my brother. This song and others were big factors in my ability to emancipate myself from juvenile narcissism. Now I must flee. My environment is toxic. Going to be a drifter. Vanlife.
Very well played and great guitar sound my friend!🎸
Thanks man! 🤘
this song is a masterpiece, as is your cover, Peter! :)
Yeah I know lateralus gets the limelight as their magnum opus but I think reflection is really one of Tool's best songs for sure.
Super creative and beautiful cover of one of my favorite songs. Just love it.
Thanks man, very happy you liked it 🤘
Another great cover! I really like the percussive tapping at the beginning and end.
You are a force my man. Thank you for this blessing.
So pleasing to my ears.. keep up the magic u make....
Loving the tool covers! The acoustic versions allow the lyrics to really shine!
Absolutely amazing 🤩
Fucking hell man. You took my favorite tool song and did the best cover I've ever heard of it. Kudos to you
Never thought anyone would come up with a cover of this song. Great stuff as always
You should drop a cover album on Spotify 👏👏 amazing performance
he should definitely!! currently i have to switch between Spotify and yt eery few min
Dude… you make amazing covers! You FEEL the vibe!
Please do culling voices!
every tool and pc cover r so awesome....i can´t find words...sooooooo great man.....greetz from germany
Cheers man! Vielen Dank!
Definitely a new favorite
Mogę tego słuchać na okragło. Dobra robota.
Dude your Tool covers are just on another level! You reduce them to their core very creatively and on an acoustic!!! Genius! Please keep pursuing your passion. Sooner or later it's gonna happen. 🤘🤘🤘
Cheers
Thanks mate, much appreciated! I’ll run out of Tool songs eventually, they need to put out another album!
As an old school Tool listener, I did feel like the new album was like lateralus b sides. Instead of a progressive direction like their previous works. I enjoyed your original works more than the new tool album. Just sayin.
@@peterspiker9960 Well, there's still A Perfect Circle and perhaps also Puscifer. Your cover of Orestes was also perfect, so I guess there's a lot left. We can't count on Tool for a new album :))

I know that I would definitely love to see one.

Beyond words
I love your cover. It’s just mind blowing how you can do guitar, drums and voice by yourself. This is musical proficiency ❤❤❤
Thanks!
Very admirable thank you
So awesome...I mean perfection would the percussion on a loop, but dude, you are so freakin good
you just get it man
Closest to Maynard I have heard... Amazingly good for such an intimate mix
Fantastic
Crikey!!! Yeah, you should definetily drop an album ❤ no discussion. Amaaazing, like all your other covers.
i have been a tool fan all mmy life , also i love to watch bands play them songs in acoustic , now i found both ! love from portugal, found your channel just now , will be watching all your work men , keep it up, love !
Thank you! Glad you enjoy the videos 🤘
My favorite part of this song have always been the vocals, I'm in love with this version that put them at the forefront. Beautiful!
Absolutely fucking outstanding bro

Bravo! Great cover man
Beautiful cover, mate. Your voice is wonderful for Tools music. Thank you for sharing your art.
this made my day. You rock dude
Dynamite! The way you switch so easily to percussion as well 👌
dude, 4:38 was magic!
Outstanding!!!
Love from Texas!!
Any chance you can cover Undertow next??!!!🙏
I think I’ve seen Most/all of your Tool covers… this one is amazing as well.
Have you done Disposition yet. I think you have a fantastic and unique voice. I’d love to hear your version of this song
I love this so much! Great Voice 👏👏👏

Reflection: The Outsider: Lateralus: Jambi: Parabola:
Review under the Reflection by Peter Spiker:
PHENOMENAL!!! But MORE IMPORTANT you helped save my life and save my mother from losing her only son! I was this song this summer and last year. I had brain damage for 2 years and it was the darkest time of my life. I was not improving after a year and a half. Not able to drive, talk coherently, organize anything, could not sleep, had violent brain shakes/pain, and could not find solutions to simple problems. I came curiously close to the end! Beneath my self-indulgent pitiful hole, I concede. Defeated, fetal, and weeping, I looked for something to end the darkness in my garage, a saw, a knife, a rope, something effective so I would not survive and be in a worse dilemma. I stepped into the living room, and on the TV daily news the words NOT THE RIGHT DECISION in large font and stayed there for a little while. I knew my mother had angels. I listened to your AMAZING cover of Reflection every day for months. Finally, a turn of events led to the ability to crucify my ego: self-focus, not talking to others and not trying to help people worse off, lack of self-forgiveness, lack of self-love, focusing on mistakes, and doubts of abilities.
Over two years ago I had extreme anxiety because I realized I needed to sell property under quickly changing market conditions that could lead to me being stuck in a detrimental financial and living situation. I could not sleep due to the negative reality I thought I would endure if I could not sell in time. I medicated to shut out the drama in my head so I could sleep. Due to the decreasing efficacy of individual sleep aids, in desperation, I combined 5 sleep meds/solutions at once for a period of 3 weeks, at the tail end my brain fried, the cocktail of sleep meds severely damaged my cognitive abilities. I experienced the symptoms stated in the first paragraph for more than a year. My body's immunity started breaking down. I ended up with a severe staph infection that left a large hole in my left thigh (6 inches long, 3 inches wide, 3.5 inches deep) that took 3 months to heal. Depressed, due to the lack of improvement, decreasing immunity of my body, and lack of coherent functioning of my mind; I became a suicidal imbecile pounding on a fault line. Disconnecting from the people who loved me, and self-destructing my mind and body one thought at a time. What was it going to take to get through to me and not throw it all away? What a mess I was, what was my rush, everyone will have their day to die.
Finally, I had to travel for my mother's health to El Salvador. I saw poverty and tragedy far worse than my drama which I truly thought proved sincere. Also traveled, to Mexico, I saw and met people who were in terrible situations that were not going to change but were fighting for another day, and were happy regardless of their extremely challenging circumstances.

Bravissimo da Venezia
Love it
This is so fucking awesome
Sounds like Chevelle X TOOl LOVE IT!
With the mic! Let’s go!!
I have come curiously close to the end though
Beneath my self-indulgent pitiful hole
Defeated
I concede and move closer
I may find comfort here
I may find peace within the emptiness
How pitiful
It's calling me (calling me)
It's calling me (calling me)
It's calling me (calling me)
It's calling me
And in my darkest moment, fetal and weeping
The Moon tells me a secret, a confidant
As full and bright as I am
This light is not my own and
A million light reflections pass over me
The source is bright and endless
She resuscitates the hopeless
Without her, we are lifeless satellites drifting
And as I pull my head out, I am without one doubt
Don't want to be down here soothing my narcissism, I
Must crucify the ego before it's far too late
I pray the light lifts me out
Before I pine away (pine away)
Before I pine away (pine away)
Before I pine away (pine away)
Before I pine away
So crucify the ego, before it's far too late
And leave behind this place so negative and blind and cynical
And you will come to find that we are all one mind
Capable of all that's imagined and all conceivable
So let the light touch you so that the words spill through
And let the past break through, bringing out our hope and reason
Before we pine away (pine away)
Before we pine away (pine away)
Before we pine away (pine away)
Before we pine away
Dude. Very legit
your last vocal sequence at 7:16 is fucking amazing good job!
Thanks!
Hell yeah man!!! I love the vocals! Definitely gained a new subscriber, don’t know if you’ve heard of All Them Witches, but I bet you do a killer cover of any of their songs!
Thanks man, l’ll check them out!
Hey, outstanding job! Is it possible that we'll ever hear Rosetta Stoned performed by you? Just asking :)
Rosetta Stoned is so frustrating because I have it completely down and love to play it by myself BUT! I don’t know how to get around Maynard’s unusual vocals at the start of the song. If I ever come up with a solution I’ll definitely cover it 🤘
Peter you are a fucking INSPIRATION my man holy shit! I would gladly subscribe to a patreon of you teaching us how to play tool songs on acoustic haha
Thanks mate! I don’t know much about how Patreon works, but I’ll check it out 🤘
Everything you do by tool is spot on . Love the vocals, love the guitar skills. I do have a request if you could do black label society, Still born acoustic

Please do Sober next!
Alright then! 🤘
@@peterspiker9960Hell yeah! Brass Against just did an AMAZING Sober cover, too, in case anyone else here is interested in their music.
I love brass against but I was disappointed they didn't use the other male vocalist they usually use for Tool@@Jadenity
Can you tell me how you are recording your guitar? it sounds so clean, especially with the percussion. Is it plugged in or did you put a mic out of frame?
Not too sure if its possible, but if you managed to do Disposition, ill forget that you are a collingwood supporter :p
Amazing cover by the way dude, you are unreal ❤
Honestly i thought that acoustic cover of this song is immposible but somehow you nailed it. Dude, im singing along with You and i bet i piss off my neighbours, but f*ck it. They don't know whats coming, i will start learning guitar. My guitar will be more autistic than acoustic but screw it.
That’s the spirit! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Hey man, how did you learn to sing? Did you have any formal training? You sound amazing
Thanks mate! No formal training for singing, just been at it a long time.
@@peterspiker9960 wow that's super impressive ! Do you have any tips for a beginner? I can play guitar decent but I feel like my voice is lacking. How do you go about learning to sing the songs ?
@@acbeats3994 I don't have any technical advise other than to sing all the time, to the point of irritating others. Whatever control I have I owe to using my voice a LOT.
Meh. You aren't playing the main riff right. Better singer than guitar player for sure
Ok kiddo
U r my new favourite
I’m 62. Tool didn’t hit my radar back in the day. But for the last two decades …. Man. Then your covers came into my feed. I’m all acoustic n play the range. Now Tool. Great covers! So we’ll done.
Thanks mate, I appreciate the comment! Tool really are one of the best.
