    Song is about getting old, losing your edge, feeling broken down as years get by, being a shell of yourself. Tool songs can be interpreted differently but main concept is getting old. Its a universal feeling, everyone nostalgias their youth. Thats why its so powerful.

      I was always curious how people like you would feel. Dead serious, because this is yet another song that has multiple meanings. Literal warriors who have aged out of efficacy, themselves as a band that used to be the new hot thing and are now aging, and just man period getting older and realizing their vigor is slipping. I just turned 40, and when this came out I was thinking how this would continue to resonate over time.
      For you, care to elaborate? I don’t have combat experience aside from fist fights here and there in school and being dumb in my 20s. But for you, your stakes were the highest. You’ve bonded with other brothers in combat. You’ve felt what I would assume is the most alive and closest to death at the same time. I can only imagine.
      But with all due respect, I’m curious. And obviously, your service is graciously appreciated.

      @deltaunder1872 it's strange. It's been over 20 years since my first combat deployment with 1st Tank Bn(back when the Marines still had tanks). We were the ones who pulled the statue of Saddam down in Baghdad. What we thought of as a joke and an excuse to destroy something turned into an historical event my kids read about in history class. I've seen and done horrific things, watched close friends get hurt and killed, made closer friends with the ones who made it. We've all long since retired, aside from some buddies who are Sergeants Major. I watch the conflicts happening across the world and hope that American kids don't have to go through what we did. War is a strange thing. Long periods of boredom sometimes, and then other times things are so chaotic that you're going on 36 hours no sleep and pure adrenaline. Some of the guys lived off Ripped Fuel which is now a banned substance.
      But I still wish I was there. You'll never feel so alive ever again. It felt primal, like a rite of passage. A baptism of fire. And I'd take the place of any kid if need be to stand up and fight for this country again. I'm 43, out of shape with a bad back and a full beard. But I can still shoot. I miss it, but my body sure doesn't.

    This track hits me hard, as I grow older. As a father of 4, my top priority has always been to be a provider and it's what's always fueled me. I struggle as my kids grow older and can now provide for themselves and as beautiful as that is, my shield feels less useful and my armor seemingly wears thinner with each passing day. What a brilliant piece. Absolutely love your appreciation for the masterful musicianship and lyricism. Please keep your content coming. Cheers!

      Agreed. This track is all of us, as we grow older. I'm 53, our daughter is 19, in college, figuring things out every day. I just visited my 82 year old father in the hospital today, trying to get rid of issues so he can come home and stay "consequential". None of this is easy, and it's all a worthy part of the struggle.

      @corey6393 Thank you for sharing, my friend. I'm 42 with a 23 year old daughter, 19 year old daughter, and two boys soon to be out of high school. My dad, who was 83, passed earlier this year from dimensia/Alzheimsers and my mother, who was 54 at the time, passed away in early 2017 from complications of a sudden aneurysm. Depending on your beliefs, life is fleeting; and I find comfort in our shared experiences. Time was, is, and always... the ultimate valuator.

    @roadogsc Місяць тому +16

    This song is an example of a polyMETER. Most of the band is in a fast 7/8 (every note on the guitar is a counted note, so 7 guitar notes is 1 bar). The drums are (for about half the song) also playing in 3/8. So for every 3 notes the guitar plays, a drum will be hit once. Danny is still holding a 7/8 along with that 3/8.
    Being 7/8 with a 3/8 pulse (what you were nodding to and called the metronome) means they will line up every 3 bars of 7/8 or every 7 bars of 3/8.

    • @watchitbendstudios3781
      @watchitbendstudios3781 Місяць тому

      Agreed. But I always hear it as Adam playing in 7/16. Justin plays in 7/8. So Adam plays 2 bars for every 1 that Justin plays. Danny plays in 7/8, but does have the 3, 3/4 ts quarter notes, going on as well. Because they do repeat/realign after every 3 bars of 7/16. We might both be right, I'm just thinking about it different mathematically. I guess how it feels? And don't get me started on the chorus. When it switches to 14/16. All of this I mostly got from this video.

    • @Sohum
      @Sohum  Місяць тому

      wow ive never heard the term polymeter before, thanks for sharing.
      So to clarify, each instrument is playing two different time signatures?

    • @roadogsc
      @roadogsc Місяць тому +2

      @Sohum Adding and commenting off of the comment above; Adam and Justin playing 7/16 and 7/8 isn't really worth saying "different time signatures" as different instruments playing quarters and eighths happens in every song (in this case eighths and sixteenths). It is just more important if you were to write it down or teach someone. I tried to "teach" you how to count the 3 and 7 using Adam's guitar, but if the guitar is going double speed, then I would have taught improperly.
      The biggest note is Danny playing the 3/8 over the 7/8.
      Polyrythem and Polymeter are the two poly "types" in music. However, Polyrythem is the most popular term thrown around and is used incorrectly a lot. You not hearing about a polymeter makes sense due to this.
      Thing to note, syncopation can be construed as a poly type. All three terms make more sense when understanding that they are used to help read and teach music. I don't have time to explain syncopation but it is different.
      This stuff is a class in and of itself and I am probably overwhelming you already.

    For some reason this song always gives me the vibes of an aging Saxon warrior in the late 800s /earlier 900s trudging through the snows of Northumbria to go south and join up with the men of Wessex and one more time raise that “battle cry” and fight one more battle against the Dane’s Great Heathen Army of Viking raiders.

    One thing with Tool, if you hear some sound that you can’t identify, listen for what instrument is missing in the mix. Many times it’s Justin doing something unique with the bass guitar or less often, Damny either doing synth work or even playing a second guitar with Adam like in the beginning of Culling Voices.

    Caligua was, according to what's written about him, quite the character. Power abuse and humiliation of his court and the nobility(in the worst ways) and almost bankrupting the state by building grandiose buildings(some that didn't make much sense). Some of the most famous stuff he allegedly did was threatening to make his horse consort and upon his soldiers refusing to attack Britain he made them pick seashells on the shore.
    Something that is kinda funny is that it's probably exaggerated to a degree because he was not a liked emperor so the people that wrote about him after his passing did him in the worst possible way. Also the name Caligua(soldierboot) is by it self a humiliating for him since it was his old nickname from his youth joining his father on campaigns and definitively not what he called himself.
    Professor Mary Beard has a excellent doc on him.
    But cool reaction. I like the breakdowns.

    Time is the real battle and we will all succumb to it eventually... it is what we do with the time we have. The struggle to remain relevant is the this struggle. We do this with acts of creation. This can be physical like art & architecture or ephemeral like teaching & caring for others. So long as you have put your energy into something that will ripple outward in time longer than this mortal shell. HOW you can do this changes as we change & adapting to this change is the meaning of life it self (in my opinion). We are the meaning makers, we are the dreamers of the dreams.

    The “synth” and “cool effect” on the guitar were both bass! Bass with a delay, and a “bass solo” essentially. This band (really, Justin) was the first one to really draw my attention to bass as something other than a background instrument that just augmented a song. So cool.

    The lyrics can be applied to anyone's life stage or situation. But the narrative seems to be from the point of view of someone in the warrior class getting on in years. Whether it be military, boxing or some other form of fighting.

    First couple of minutes there's no bass. Only guitar. And drums. Then the break, the bass comes in, and guitar fades away. Then the second break the guitar joins the bass ..

    Can’t believe you wasted nine videos reacting to TOOL.

    Funny thing is you overanalyzed this one. Invincible is one of their most straightforward songs: it's about them. They're getting old, they can't perform like they used to be able to, and longing to be youthful again (and knowing they never will.). ("Long in tooth and soul," "heavy shield down.")
    Getting more literal, Maynard especially can't scream and shout like he did in his youth. Danny in interviews noted they've had to change setlists because he needs easier songs between the hard ones.
