    Another remake, this was probably the song I most wanted to redo. I don't feel the original gives this song justice, and ugh those curtains...

    • @zacharyradford5552

      The music for the song was inspired by Led Zeppelin’s Kashmir.

    • @marklar51423
      @marklar51423 Рік тому +1

      @zacharyradford5552 I'd say that's a bit much, unless I missed something in an interview somewhere. Certainly, it's derived from the same region musically and has a similar chord structure and progression but is not necessarily directly influenced by Led Zeppelin.
      Jimmy Page doesn't even make his personal top 11 influences. Perhaps, somewhere, there's an honorable mention of Zeppelin since they do occasionally cover 'No Quarter' and have even dressed as the band for Halloween.
      It's more likely, however, that their own independent explorations ultimately lead AJ to experiment with the Eastern styling(s) of music. Especially when you consider Tool's heavy presence of ancient spiritual philosophy and symbolism.
      EVH is given a lot of credit as an influence, and EVH was inspired by Page. However, EVH was more interested in his style rather than the final sound. EVH ultimately ran away with his own style, and sound, to go on to inspire the next generation of artists.
      Perhaps there's more I need to know about AJs first band, Electric Sheep. Perhaps Zeppelin was more often played or referenced in nuance back then, but I've not heard much mention of Zeppelin from any of the members of Tool. Again, perhaps it's my own personal oversight being that I'm positive I haven't read or heard every single interview or behind the scenes moment.
      The origin of Sober came about prior to AJ being part of the band. It was from a song MJK worked out while with one of his first bands, COTAD. It seems AJ simply had the skill and introspection to saturate the song with more depth and style versatility.

    If you would like to sing along here are the lyrics.
    There's a shadow just behind me
    Shrouding every breath I take
    Making every promise empty
    Pointing every finger at me
    Waiting like a stalking butler
    Who upon the finger rests
    Murder now the path called must we
    Just before the son has come
    Jesus, won't you fucking whistle
    Something but the past and done?
    Jesus, won't you fucking whistle
    Something but the past and done?
    Why can't we not be sober?
    I just want to start this over
    Why can't we drink forever
    I just want to start this over
    I am just a worthless liar
    I am just an imbecile
    I will only complicate you
    Trust in me and fall as well
    I will find a center in you
    I will chew it up and leave
    I will work to elevate you
    Just enough to bring you down
    Mother Mary won't you whisper
    Something but what's past and done
    Mother Mary won't you whisper
    Something but what's past and done
    Why can't we not be sober?
    I just want to start this over
    Why can't we sleep forever
    I just want to start this over
    I am just a worthless liar
    I am just an imbecile
    I will only complicate you
    Trust in me and fall as well
    I will find a center in you
    I will chew it up and leave
    Trust me
    Why can't we not be sober?

    Thanks for this @Ernesto. The painful hopelessness to keep up comes through in your expression... that uncomfortable, unheard screaming we know noone will hear... it's there, man. i don't even want to KNOW if this was a one-take on your cover. Thanks for this.
