TOOL 46 & 2 LYRIC REVIEW - The Decomposer Lounge Music Reactions
TOOL REACTIONS
I could listen to somebody talk about Tool all day...saves me the effort
God knows I'm not short on expressing my thoughts on TOOL! :)
@@KeyOfGeebz with some of Tool's songs it might be better to research it's meaning before listening... it will open up a whole new level of understanding. 46 & 2 is a prime example, whereas to the average listener they sound like cool lyrics but are in fact referencing work and theories by Carl Jung. That's not to say your own reaction isn't correct but Maynard's lyrics are often deep on many levels and even for me as a life-long fan - I now have different interpretations of the same song due to my own growth and understanding over time.
@@hunterfitch5951 exactly. Another great example where a little research won't give anything away, but absolutely helps in fully graspjng the message(s), are the songs about how he dealt with the trauma of his mother's health.
You're able to get much more depth to how he works through the stages of grief (along with other messages 😊), when listened to chronologically .
(Geebz the songs I'm referring to are Jimmy, Judith & 10,000 days pt 1&2)
@@KeyOfGeebz Well the Tool Army sure appreciates a well trained ear to Decompose such Excellence!! Please do Descending off their new album! 🙏
As a recovering alcoholic this song is huge for me lyrically. If you're familiar with 12 step it's sounds like pretty much a step 4 in song form. IMO 46&2 references clearing away the baggage to become one's true self
If I had a dime for every time I was wallowing in my own chaotic, insecure delusions...
Elon Musk would have nothin' on me. Lol
This, so much.
Doing so as we speak lol
I'd have two dimes!!! Naw, I'm a fool, of course.
Gold.
He’s whispering this at the beginning
Join in my
Join in my child
And listen, digging through
My old numb shadow
THANK YOU!
I don't think any official lyrics exist here...I hear different stuff. I'm not debating. I hear something like "down in my...down in my shadow" but MJK does reference child often so the above could make sense.
In the last measure he’s whispering: “forty eight, it’s forty eight.”
I think its my old muscle
@@jokergreeting no need for official you can hear him say it plain as day or at least I can. Especially wearing headphones
Oh man, as a psych student, I love this song so much. We actually listened to it in one of my courses when we were covering Jungian theories! Best day of class ever 😎
I would have loved to have been there!
I had a great English teacher in high school who played us songs every now and then. From what I remember, we listened to Wherevery I May Roam by Metallica. Subdivisions by Rush. Hurt by Johnny Cash (a cover of course). He was my favorite teacher for more reasons than just exposing us to great music.
Been fascinated by Jung ever since I came across him years ago. I think he might be my favorite author that I've ever read. Shifts everything.
Have you covered the archetypes yet? It helps to make so much more sense of this. It actually helps explain a lot of things including the idea of toxic masculinity. BTW, my definition of toxic masculinity is not that all masculinity is toxic. To my mind, masculinity/femninity exist on a continuum. Toxic masculinity would be at the extreme end and embody the primal idea of the masculine (the archetype). In other words, as Jung argued, we still carry that capacity with us (in the shadow). We have simply evolved mentally and control those primal urges. If we do not, we get toxic masculinity and other horrors. Jung was a genius!
@@tpaulalex724 "toxic" anything , via Jungian thinking would be a repression of sub conscious aspects, which then through time have to express them selves through sub conscious behavior, The archetype idea (from my understanding) is more a collective mechanism, and is almost the vehicle for that subconscious expression. I would suggest your negative association with the primal aspect of man is not how Jung would see it. To view it in that sense would be a repression , the primal aspect (male or female) is in all of us. Denial of it creates internal fracturing, it has to be accepted and expressed, but in a positive manner, the toxic part is the denial and/or repression. It has to come out somehow, and if a constructive outlet is not found, it will come out as toxic
Anyone: "What's your favorite Tool Song?"
Me: "yes"
7emp3st
I always say... the one im listening to .
@@13christbane ditto !
mine changes from time to time depending on what instrument i’m in to at the time. justin- the pot. funky as hell. maynard- the screams in “ hooker with a penis”. Adam- Jambi . those little pull off triplets, and Danny- any song. fucking amazing, but i’ll say “ Ticks and leeches”.
Agreed haha.
Heck yeah! I'm stoked for this cuz I cannot afford peanut butter, let alone Patreon lol. Thanks for bringing it to us poor boys!
You can afford Internet but not food? :( I think you need to prioritize, buddy. Food first, Internet second.
I’m sure you know this Geebs, but the beauty in Tool is that Maynard is the “afterthought.”
He doesn’t pen a single lyric until Adam, Danny, and Justin compose these tracks. What he’s singing is actually a physical response to how certain tracks make him feel.
Which is why, like you pointed out, he has such perfect dissonance with a lot of this music. He’s not just adding a new layer of sound. He is becoming a new layer of sound within the composition.
Hope to see more of these! Hope the shoulder is feeling better! Awwwright!
I know they say that's what they do but I have a really hard time believing that he has no input on the music itself, especially when it comes to Wings for Marie.
@@mortmortmort8908 haha yep! I agree. Especially the early days. I mean, being a Tool fan myself since Aenima, one thing that’s always annoyed me was putting those guys on a pedestal so high that the fans start “schooling” other fans and claim their more connected than others
@@duggiedug9148 certainly wasn’t gatekeeping Tool here. Simply making a comment about a widely accepted truth in their music. Sorry if it came out crappy.
BUT - This is almost unequivocally the reason why Fear Inoculum took so long to record. They admitted that they weren’t happy with any of the music and couldn’t send any of it to Maynard. Big reason for the APC and Puscifer tours/records and nothing on Tool’s end. Maynard writes plenty of music. He had no music to write to for Tool.
@@duggiedug9148 do you ever think they kind of mock their own fans for putting them on a pedestal? Like the message is think for yourself yet a lot of fans seem like followers? I think of Maynard looking out at a sea of t shirts that say "tool" and thinking what a bunch of tools. The logo can look a little bit like "fool."It's like a meta layer of "think for yourself" saying "we're not gonna do that for you."
I have two things to add to this:
1.) Most new Tool songs are debuted as instrumental interludes in their shows before they ever get released on albums. Why? Because there aren’t lyrics to those songs yet.
2.) Maynard stands in the back stage area of Tool concerts for a very specific reason. He believes that he is the least impressive piece within the music (while that’s absolutely not true). He has no lights on him at any point during a performance (and don’t point me to that outdoor show from the 90s in broad daylight where they perform Sober - I’m referring to recent years) while every other band member has blinding white lights shining down on them.
Again - I’m not gatekeeping here. I’m just shocked that my initial comment seems to have gotten such backlash. As again, I thought these were all widely accepted truths for years now.
Its been fun watching your evolution. My dad listens to Tool at age 70. He said their lyrics are the nail and instrumentals are the hammer. Almost reverse from most bands
Your dad is brilliant!
That’s a perfect way to describe TOOL!
Oh, that's why they're called TOOL!
That's actually a really good way to describe it
@@gossegotha he certainly is.
Completely understand what you mean when you say that there can be a different level of appreciation once you look at the lyrics. There's so many songs I've listened to without fully knowing the lyrics and just think "yeah I dig this, my ears like this". But then you look up the lyrics and sometimes the meaning behind the song and it takes it up to whole other level. Usually a more emotional level.
Lateralus album made me realize this
And sometimes it goes from "my ears dig this" to "my sole mission is to tell as many people about this song as possible"... I'm guilty of that, especially with third eye and 10k days
What an addition Justin made to the band. This is the first album with him, and his sound has really defined them. Complete bad ass on the bass. Criminally under appreciated
This was the first song he ever wrote for/with Tool, too! Hell of a way to make an entrance
100% agree with every word. He really completed the band and brought an amazing dynamic and talent to an already incredibly talented group of musicans and continues to do so on every new album. It's amazing how much each member of Tool brings to the table, there's no weak link in this band.
@@caseypayne5138 I read somewhere that he actually had this riff before joining the band and brought it to them. He is a beast and his tone and groove is insane.
Under-appreciated by whom? Arguably the best in the biz!!!
Love that Maynard was a huge fan of Jung and was vastly inspired by his works. When one understands the mechanism of the shadow first presented by Jung, it adds a whole other dimension to the song.
So insane how fast this channel grew. 175k!
Wish we could see the lyrics with you as you read them! But great nonetheless
In hindsight, yea, from now on that's what I'll do. Thank you!
What, you mean they're not seared into your brain already? Lol
This may be the track which made me fall in love with Tool, all those years ago. Such an amazing masterpiece! Thanks for doing this!
DUDE! Just wanted you to know, I've been subconsciously waiting for this moment. Ive followed for awhile, and respected your decision to ignore the words/lyrics. But now...You've opened up that closed aspect. So looking forward to you doing this more!
On the lyrics train, this track is a very interesting one, but I love love love love Rosetta Stoned and Reflection
Rosetta stoned was one that surprised me when I checked out the lyrics, and really made me appreciate the song soo much more! Also, I love Maynard's humour:)
cant wait until you discover vicarious
Before you stopped it, I could see the visceral reaction. I could tell this was a new experience and really made you think. It's the same thing TOOL does to most fans. We all have our interpretations amd I know so many reference Jungian theories, but this also reminds me of shadow work. Looking into our past to recognize and heal our traumas. Live seeing this new journey for you Geebz.
I'm glad you re taking a shot at he lyrics. It's one facet of Tool I appreciate a lot since it adds depth to an already arguably quite deep rabit hole.
Next, "Rosetta Stoned" I believe it's a tribute to Rush and by far one of tool's best songs.
Loved it! Great job geebz. It's also so cool to see you become a listener and not have to try to pick out everything from the song. You're like one of us
So true!
Hey Geebz. Big thank you for explaining Tool in terms that I've been struggling to find for years. I've been playing guitar since I was 12 and Tool captures my musical imagination in a way that I couldn't describe until I watched your videos. I also have dabbled in music production for a few years so when you start talking about how Tool uses mono v stereo and how they may be setting up their sound space I find it absolutely fascinating. Cheers and keep doing what you're doing, it is appreciated!
i finally started listening to a new tool album this week. 10000 days. it always takes time for me to feel ready for a new tool album. it's just not something you listen to on the fly. more like laying down and really letting yourself be immersed in the music and nothing else. love it so far. amazing piece of art
Wings pt 1 and 2 will tear your soul apart at some point. Probably not the first listen, maybe by about the tenth or so. But be prepared, because it will happen.
@@hockeylvr42 oh it was already extremely powerful the first nine times. might have heard even more often by now
@wakenbaker-uk haha damn you're right
It used to take me years to deep delve into each tool album... Honestly Jambi and Lost Keys/Rosetta Stoned have become my favs off 10,000 Days after infinite repeats of the album... but just like Aenima and Lateralus (and Fear Inoculum) are all absolute masterpieces. Wings Part1 & 2 with Viginti Tres are all actually 1 track which is completely mind-blowing...
Errrmahgaaad! I'm so happy about this.
I looked up the meaning behind the lyrics yeeeears ago. I was coming out of depression myself and feeling change in myself, accepting myself for who I am. This song became like a mantra for me at that time - and weirdly knowing the meaning behind the lyrics just reinforced that feeling rather than changing it.
I’d highly recommend you read Jung. It has given me massive insight into myself, and of what others are perceiving in the World around us. If you are brave enough to accept the truths you discover, the good, the bad, and the monstrous!! Not for the faint or weakhearted! Good luck in your journey. Not easy, but worth the effort!!!
This was very cool! As a Tool fan, it’s great seeing others like yourself discover how amazing this band is. Thank you!
I'm eagerly anticipating your lyrical breakdown of Invincible. Love your channel!
Awesome reaction as always! You should definitely check out the O'Keefe Music Foundation Kids cover of Forty Six & 2. These kids nail it 🤘😊🤘
He's already done that! It's right here ua-cam.com/video/UXtrnv-38_0/v-deo.html&ab_channel=KeyofGeebz
Ok. Cool! My bad 😊
Love this song! Great story telling merged with it's brilliant composition.
You are feeling those emotions of truly becoming a TOOL fan "in front of our eyes"...I don't think you would have the same experience and reaction with another band.
It's so cool see someone experiencing this kind of songs.
Love this Geebs!! I appreciate Tool as a musician and love watching you break it down as you do.
It's wierd hearing you dissect the lyrics, good take on it imho and appreciate the deviation from the norm for you. Good work man.
Can I just add that I would really like to see your take on aphex twin: come to daddy if you're of a mind to react to some trippy genre defying heaviness?
Pretty please?
Yess aphex twin whould be great
The grudge, it made me reanalyze a period in my life. I was able to forgive someone, and it freed me.
and then afterwards, listen to the dillinger escape plan and mike patton's cover of come to daddy pls.
then do some more patton career and some early dillinger too.
I think aphex twin has better songs to dissect but anything from him would be cool
Maynard just had a child when this album was written. So he was doing a LOT of soul searching.
So true, great u pieced it together! Sure helped us all w/ that as well. Rock out! -[]-[[]][[]][]_
So that kid is probably old enough to rent a car by now.
@@felixd.4150 Devo is definitely an adult now lol
Well hell yeah! Carl Jung would be Proud! Please do Next: Sepultura - Dead Embryonic Cells, you will love it
Wow, I haven’t listened to Sepultura in over two decades. I am glad that you mentioned them because I will certainly listen to a couple of songs while sitting in traffic right now.
@@davidjohnson5703 nice! Check out their live in Barcelona concert, it's just amazing from start to finish
Carl Jung... I was thinking the same thing. I suspect it's about psychedelics as well.
@@MusicMissionary well actually it is, there are several videos that break down Maynards lyrics and the meaning behind the shadow (Jung) and 46 & 2
@@davidjohnson5703 Refuse/Resist
Every element/track of a Tool song is always 100% quality guaranteed! It's a blast watching you fall into the same rabbit holes I did in the beginning. Thanks, as always!
Last time I was this early, I spent two weeks in the NICU.
Hahhahhaha, I LMFO so hard I had to get my asthma spray!!!
LOve the channel. We help the local kiddos too. Much love
Bro, I must say that is why I love
Coming back and listening to your takes, being able to use song(tool haha) in our own way, well that gets me through each day. Retired veteran.
Welcome my friend, to the next chapter of TOOL! Honestly the same for me in some ways. Drawn in by the ridiculous composition and tones... only to find the lyrics take you so much deeper! Such a great band. My favorite for life.
One of my fav Tool songs!! 😎👏🏼
I often say, if I was stuck on an island with only one song to listen, I would pick 46 & 2…
It’s such a complete song!
Now with Pneuma… Hemmm…?
I love seeing someone discover great music like Tool for the first time. The way you dig and dive into the music, and the perspective you bring to it with your background, always brings something new to my attention. Thanks for doing what you do and keep up the great work.
Also, do you know Rick Beato? He has a channel that I think you'd love. Thanks, Geebz! You rock!
I'm really glad that you're taking the time to read the lyrics for the Tool songs you are reviewing. It's part of taking in the whole experience. This song is especially significant to me along with several other ones and often times when I'm reading the lyrics for a Tool song it feels like maynard is writing and singing about something personal to me and my life. The content is so universal that it applies deeply even though he doesn't know or care who I am as an individual.
I feel your pain. I'm still trying to heal from a frozen shoulder since I fell and broke my humerus in January. Broke a damn bone in my foot too. 😖 Age at 71 ... they may never feel right again according to Dr.
I do hope yours will heal well. ❤
Thank you for giving us more TOOL. ❤
Oh noooooo, what a bummer!! Good thing you're still young we got music to get us through it all. Be well :)
@@KeyOfGeebz Thanks Geebz. ❤ Music is indeed a lifesaver!
@@KeyOfGeebz Hey, sorry to hear about the shoulder pain. If you're willing to try something natural that may help reduce the pain and repair the joint/muscle nerve tissue etc. You can do some research on the effects of applying Castor Oil externally. I hope this helps :)
Love this! Maynard’s lyrics are so versatile and can hit you at different points in your life for totally different reasons lol he is amazing 💚 and the music always seems like it’s perfectly expressing whatever he’s communicating smh it keeps blowing my mind even after 25+ years! Great job, Geebz! Keep at it and we will be here! #TOOLARMY
Dude, love your reactions man!
this was so amazing man, keep em comin
Love that you're doing lyrical breakdowns!!
Absolutely love all your videos, always excited to see you post!
Can you just watch the full " Radiohead - in rainbows live from the basement" I would love to get your insight into that performance! Love your work, your passion and your musical knowledge
What an absolute incredible performance from a vastly underrated band. I second your request!! I’d love to hear what he has to say!
I agree, please do some reviews from Radiohead’s Basement video.
My VERY favorite song for your first lyric review video?! I am BLESSED, fam. *hugs!*
Thank you for your work
Maynards phrasing is impeccable 🌀
Mahalo! I thoroughly enjoy your content. I've always been a lyrics front listener and you've helped me hear layers in some of my favorite songs I've never cued in on before
Love the review, and would love to see more.
I'm glad you finally got around to this one when you say dissecting your favorite songs this really is one of my all-time favorite songs thank you so much for putting this up it was a great reaction loved your insight
You just keep being awesome dude and I'll keep watching
Good vibes from Portland OR! Glad you are furthering your journey with digging into the lyrics and song meaning. Good luck with the shoulder bro!
A LYRIC REVIEW?! wow... and this one is your first? YESSSSSSSSSS brb joining your patreon! This is the song that made me a fan
Such a great video! Your so down to Earth and humble. Love your channel! Hope the shoulder gets better soon!!
Must say enjoy your lyric breakdowns a lot!
So good to see you're doing lyric breakdowns now! Yesssss! That was a pleasure to watch. I just love getting your thoughts on Maynards lyrics after having enjoyed your analysis of the music. This channel is just getting better and better!
One of my all time fave lyrical Tool songs. Great one to start on mate. Letsgooooo!
Lyrics review!!! I love it guy! I can listen to you review all day, well once per post:) Love you guy!
I loved seeing you be able to immerse yourself into the song more than your normal reactions! Love ya Geebz! 💚
Keep on going you are doing good and I hope you feel better!
Bro, that was awesome to watch 😎 Tool is just one act that pulls you into the song, and makes you feel it, not just hear it. Keep it up 😁👍
I just want to say thank you for your breakdowns, I feel exactly like you do about appreciating these songs in a different way. But I appreciate more of the musical experience than originally thanks to the insight you provide!
As just the pure listener.. when the music helps push the emotions of lyrics.. thats what I love . Its art interpretation is in the eyes of the beholder
I like the way you are putting your own take on the lyrics, rather than trying to reinterpret what the band were trying to say. Music is such a personal experience and we each interpret it in our own way, including the lyrics. That’s why good lyrics are often mysterious or ambiguous. For me, this song is about metamorphosis of the soul. Mahalo. Keep riding the wave.
Thanks so much for doing lyrics on UA-cam as well, I don't have as much time as I used to (was in quarantine here in the UK for months watching your videos), nor do I have the spare cash for Patreon.
Perfect song choice too!
I’ve never been a lyrics guy…simply just rhythm and music/beats…I’ve always read over the lyrics within Tool and they’re without a doubt brilliant. But my goosebumps come from the instrument that is Maynard being an extra or lead instrument within the band
I love listening to your interpretation and respect for our experience of it too.
i like new format, i look forward of revisits to some earlier processed music -- ps: its somehow adorable, how mesmerized you looked until first pause. felt like you want to share your thoughts already, but proud of you not done until actually did :)
I had told you that you should look into the lyrics way back before you did your first review of this song. Glad you did this!
Singing along with a great song is something that keeps me coming back to them a thousand times. Vocals are certainly one of the parts in music that I latch onto the most, glad to see you doing these lyric listens. Have a great weekend Geebz 😎🤙
Wow a berserk and a tool fan. You might be the coolest
Bud...not only i've really enjoyed your breakdown but it helped me work on issues on my own shadow aswell. And for that and your freshness, I thank you.
Loved this!! Dunno howany hours, collectively I've listened/danced at a club to this song, Love It! Also Bless you, believe I've seen a future episode where your shoulder was feeling better... feel you on that pain. Love You for You!
thank you SO MUCH!!!! You interpret this song as I do! Many of Maynard's lyrics ring so true with me whether in Tool, A Perfect Circle, or Puscifer....I appreciate what you do so keep up the great work you do!!
My favorite song from one of my top 3 bands. Glad to see you going into the lyrics on this one.
Love that you are doing the lyrics!! Thank you! The instrumental portion is only part of the whole - the lyrics really punch you in the gut like the rest of the composition with this band.
Woohoo! I'm so glad to finally see a lyrics reaction video! Thanks for the great interpretation. I can't wait to see more!
Also want to mention that I would LOVE to see more Tool and of course A Perfect Circle. Maynard is an extremely talented lyricist and there's so much there to tap into.
What's up Geebs... just got off work, nice to see a new TOOL review video...thanks bro👍🤘
Been watching you since you started, I think this is a good avenue for you to explore. You seem to enjoy it and I for one like watching someone discuss their interpretation of words that have meant so much to me for so long.
Would highly recommend Lateralus from Tool as well for the lyrics specifically.
So psyched that you finally are doing a lyrical breakdown of Tool. There is so much material for you to do!! 👍👍😊
And a lyrical breakdown of Jambi will be fun for you. 👍
Love it Geebz. You da man.
Such a great rock song. Damn. It's got it all.
The feel you got from the lyrics match mine. The lyrics are quite positive.... "Now is my time" and the end "46 and 2...just ahead of me" seems like a person who's motivated and ready for what's ahead. Leave that old stuff and move on to a new way. That's the attitude and vibe I get from it.
I'm Italian and I've been following your reactions with deep interest for some time.
I have never left a comment until now but just wanted to tell you I loved this video. I find it wonderful when someone manages to bring such personal content without going into detail, letting the eyes, voice and body language do the rest. thank you.
Great interpretation of a first time listen to these amazingly complex lyrics!!
You are without a doubt my favorite musician reviewer. So authentic and knowledgeable. As one musician to another, lol, mad respect my dude.
Lol, just wished you would have mentioned that drum solo and time signature changes.
I enjoyed your lyrical breakdown as you let the song flow and were able to get into it more on a personal level. I could never do a channel like this, I'd hate to have to keep stopping tracks. Especially when you are getting recommendations for some of the best music around.
I put songs on loud and shut my eyes.
Killing it, Geebz!! Cheehuu braddha!! 🤙🏽🍻
Thank you for sharing this intimate moment with us.
I love Tool, and I believe that the best is to first feel what the song open up for you in your life.
After you should get the deep meaning that Maynard, who is just a genius, ment and let yourself be amazed for the second time.
I'm listenging to some Tool song for 20 years now... and I still get something new every time.
Everything in each tool songs is perfected to the last detail.. the sad part is that you don't have a new album every year.. the good part is that to fully absorbe a Tool album it might take you a lifetime.
Your interpretation shows you are on that process. When I hear Shadow and his embrace of that shadow it sounds more to me as a way to tap into the fullness of what we are. Light and shadow,. We often dismiss the shadow but it teaches us a lot..
Keep these lyrical videos coming Geebz
You are the man
I have learned and am continuing to learn from you brother.
Actually my son is stationed on Hickam AFB and it would be an honor for him and I (when I visit) to meet you one day
Wings for Marie 1/2 and Right in Two are a totally different experiences knowing the lyrics
I look forward to all your content in the future
#toolisapowerfultool
Bands like tool revolve around their lyrics tying into the music so much that it seems like its part of the percussion and literal feeling they are trying to portray to you. That's why it makes everyone think for themselves on what he is saying so you have multiple meanings for each person who listens to this type of music, it means whatever it is to "you" what it make "you" feel.
Thanks for this! The next Tool song you do a lyrical breakdown for should be Lateralus!
thank you, great breakdown.
You are awesome my friend! Aloha! Shalom
You really killed it, Geebz. The song is about personal evolution and growth. Lines like "Soften this old armor" speak about becoming spiritually and emotionally more open and vulnerable, discarding the "armor" of selfishness, callousness and indifference that we so often find ourselves wearing in our youth to protect ourselves from emotional damage. In our youth, we feel like being emotional or even simply "feeling" is akin to weakness. So, in that respect, allowing yourself to express and feel openly without fear of reprisal is an evolution akin to growing an extra pair of chromosomes and becoming the next stage of human evolution, the 46 and 2.
Awesome job.
Gonna slip this in right here: new Puscifer album is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
the live performance of it is even better!
Best album of the year
I LOVED this ❤️ It is so amazing how you allow your authentic self to truly show…It is refreshing to see! I can absolutely relate to what you said re: still needing to shed old skin (holding onto the past etc). I am also a fellow Empath right here…❤️😁 I had learned about the Jungian archetypes within the last couple of years or so… and “The Shadow” self helped me understand this on another level than when I was 13 lol THANK you once again! 🙏🏼 Hope the shoulder heals well!!!
Thank you so much!!
It’s so interesting to hear you talk about how you hear music. I’ve always heard the lyrics first, music with it, so there are lots of songs I don’t like, regardless of how great the music is because the lyrics say something I don’t like. I didn’t realise I heard music differently until a carol was playing and a girl asked, why is this a Christmas carol, it’s so morose. The lyrics were, I cry for baby jesus. She couldn’t hear the lyrics. I’ve learned so much about music, composition, production and on and on, because I watch your videos and my enjoyment of music has changed due to that, thank you.
