I'm a retired Marine who did multiple tours of combat. This song hit a little too close to home and broke me. I've been retired for 4 years, and I'm still struggling with my identity outside the Corps, and my body is falling apart. I sat on my porch and bawled my eyes out reading the lyrics for the 1st time. This song is a true masterpiece and this album will go down as our modern day Beethoven.
@@RosettaStoned462 appreciate it, but honestly, I did it because they let me blow up shit and shoot as much ammo as I could stand to the point of my hands bleeding. For free. And I got paid. Lol
Same for me. Army Iraq war veteran. I often contemplate my decisions that I had to make in a second. Unfortunately, we did what we had to, to survive. Hooraah brother in Arms ❤
Is no one gonna mention the Easter egg of this whole video? That dog chillin, I wish I could be that chill about anything in my life 🤣🤣🤣 excellent song love the reaction spot on
One common theme in Tool is Maynard holding himself accountable to his human failures. I take this song as being about himself, his journey as a world famous celebrity and a rockstar, getting older, becoming irrelevant and refusing to quit, even to his detriment.
At about the 13:00 min mark, you both imply the musicianship of the band adds a lot of emotion and the music can almost exist without the lyrics. In an interview, the singer MJK mentioned after the band recorded their part, he listens to it over and over to develop the lyrics. I think what you were saying was pretty perceptive and I enjoy watching both of you share this experience.
I couldn’t agree more & I’ve been saying it for 20+ years 🤨parts of the music industry act like Tool don’t exist …..looking at you Rolling Stone,the Rock hall of fame people & all the other boomers who turn a blind eye….to the best band to ever do it ?!? 🤨😞isn’t it time for y’all to go away? Let go already
We are warriors each day and vulnerability is our armor. This whole album is a masterpiece in my mind and this song is highin that list; Each song is a journey unto itself. It's so cool how music that means so much to me in my daily life is opening something up in your lives! Enjoy!
Its awesome reading Dominica`s facial expressions when she listens to Tool. She clearly is entranced and it almost looks as if She is overwhelmed...thats exactly what Tool is about!
Great reaction! I cried the first time hearing this song, it felt so deeply personal on so many levels. And yes it can be exhausting 😂 mentally, emotionally, AND physically! As a first time viewer I really appreciate your dynamic and your views, thanks and you’ve got a new subscriber from Scotland!🏴 ❤️✌🏻
One of Maynard’s best compositions lyrically. It captures the bands journey so well, and describes current mentality perfectly! Just my humble opinion Simply put, nothing Maynard writes is ever trivial…
Seeing you two bob to the beat in time is incredible. This song has a deep, universal marching beat to it that I feel our souls tap into. You're both in perfect sync to it.
She is so on point and relatable. We all feel what you feel. It’s what brings to light what is greater than ourself. We see and feel the truth when it presents itself. You have to be my favorite despite this being my first watch of you two.
What I love about you guys is that you just get it, always with your Tool reactions, you are usually spot on with your interpretations. And you get excited for them!
This is my favourite track on an album of fantastic songs. It so vividly establishes a scene in my mind of a weary warrior gearing up for battle one last time.
"Feel like I'm in the ring with Rocky" is actually a good shout. This song would have been totally in place in "Rocky Balboa" As an aging Rocky gets back in the ring to try and prove his relevance. Watching this through with you guys, I had nostalgic thoughts of a lot of our aging action heroes rolling through my head.
You guys are awesome! "Here you are" just as relevant as ever. Where you end is just as relevant as every other moment. This was such a great experience for me. Thank you guys!
I think this song is about life, and there are so many hidden meanings. On the top level, this is a song about a warrior who is getting ready for his last battle. Shield is heavy, armor is wearing thin. He is chasing "Ponce de Leon's phantom" who is known for chasing the fountain of immortality / youth. I interpret the drums as running into the fray of battle, where our warrior gets stabbed with a fatal blow "feel the sting / feeling time bearing down". This is the exit from the mortal realm into the immortal realm of spirit. Of course, we all must face this morality of the body and learn in that moment of the immortality of the soul / spirit / consciousness - the timeless realm.
I love you both so much. I would not want to think about having to talk about Tool and this song in particular. Getting on older on my mind a lot lately and this really pulled out a lot of the stops that had things bottled up. Amazing unique music. so glad to have discovered and an added blessing to feel as if I know y'all and can share it with y ou.
As always, another genuinely pure and enjoyable reaction! So much pleasure from watching you guys experience this. I would absolutely love for you to get the chance to see them live. Everything you’ve felt during your reactions, x 1000 with the visuals and feeling every single beat and note throughout your entire body. Let alone being able to watch the actual 4 humans in the flesh creating such art. So much love from down under 🇦🇺
As someone mentioned already, Ponce de Leon was a Spanish explorer in the early 1500's. He landed on the eastern coast of Florida; around what is today the city of St Augustine. Besides searching for gold and riches, he was searching for the mythical fountain of youth, that was supposed to be here in the new world.
Thank you for reacting to this song guys. I personally think it's not only one of Tool's top 5 songs, I genuinely think this is one of the best rock songs ever made. I really like how the two of you are approaching the discovery of new songs. New subscriber here. Much love and greetings from Germany :)
I'm very much enjoying watching a non "metal head" appreciate this band, it's very cathartic for a long time fan. They have such a talent for creating unnervingly specific moods. I personally feel the mark of great musicianship is how accurately/effectively it can make the listener feel what the creator/ preformer feels. They feel closer in skill in that capacity to classical composers than the majority of their contemporaries.
I’m pretty sure the song is about someone who was “once invincible,now the armors wearing thin”….such a great song about aging & a fresh take on singing about getting old…it’s a brutally honest song 🤤man….I love that band 🖤
This invincible is finding the power of you at a mature age. It moves through it and then you get up and dust yourself. Even if it is painful and futile as time catches up to you dig down to the freedom diving in deep again and move forward. Even if one last time. Or Next time. The groove that sounds like a stalking tiger is soo powerful. I can live in that groove.
GREAT REACTION!! As a 41 year old Brazilian jujitsu and Muay Thai competitor, this song is so relatable in so many ways as a martial artist. We even put this on the speaker when sparing or rolling and it’s quite an experience. Also humbling when I’m tired and feeling physically broken and know I need to do it all over again tomorrow. But the body never lies and unfortunately I’m realizing I’m not what I used to be. I have to constantly remind myself that I’m not 21, IM 41 lol What an amazing track!! Nothing like 🔥👽👽TOOL👽👽🙏
So Love you two!!! So real and Honest! And now I have to be honest....TOOL is in you, they will stay with you forever! In a world filled with music after 30 years, they sound like no one, and no one sounds like them! They are TOOL! Keep going......believe it or not, there is even more mind boggling music to come! Thank you!
Everybody has struggles every day in their lives. I fight every day with depression just to get out of bed to face my battles. This songis about everyones fights.
Its funny that you say youre searching for the answer. That is exactly what so much TOOL music is about. The albums Undertow and Aenima are young men searching for the answers with aggression and anger like young men do. Then they get a little older and start seeking to expand beyond that in Lateralus. Then in 10000 Days, theyre 40 year olds with a much more mature outlook on things, more accepting of the answers they dont have. Finally on the Fear Innoculum album, theyre old men approaching 60, with the unsettling realization that more is behind them than ahead of and still the struggle to understand life remains. Its like every album is about the same things from the different perspectives one gets on everything from aging.
I identify so much with this song. It's a fascinating experience when a song "hits home" and becomes an internal awareness thing. Heavy shield down, but the truth never got in my way. Great reaction.
Us TOOL fans waited 13 years for this Magnus opus. This is my favorites, Culling Voices 2nd. I cried the first time I listen to the whole album because I felt like they had come to take the fear away from us and that’s why it’s called fear inocculum
I’m not sure when Tool wrote this song they knew how many vets they would speak to. There are days that these lyrics are so true. The mind is still tough. The intestinal fortitude is still there. But the body just won’t so what we did back then. This is what music does. It moves you. Makes you feel something. 10th Mountain Division and 5th ID Infantry here.
I love Tool they've been my favorite band since I first heard them on MTV back when I was in Highschool with the album Undertow and I have been enjoying their music since. So my other favorite Band is Ween and I recommend you try them out a song I Suggest is The Golden Eel off the mollusk album.
The following tracks you need to do: The Grudge (my favorite) Schism Lateralus Vicarious Jambi Stinkfist Eulogy Pushit (studio and Salival Live versions) Third Eye
You have both created an animal. Tool and Rush, your journey is going to be epic. Tool drummer Danny was good friends with Rush's Neil Peart RIP. Maynard's vocals are an instrument that's all you need to take in
I would say that this is the story of most of us humans. My interpretion, from my point in life goes something like this: In our youth we feel invincible, and act accordingly. Then .. between 30 to 40 we start to feel .. that we are losing "that" spark and some may start to chase after the "fountain of youth" (hence the reference to Ponce de León). At some point we (most of us) will come in terms of our aging and inevitable demice, our death. And then we can live again. ** EDIT** So my interpretion of this song is about our personal growth and maturing. But like in so many Tool songs, we all have our own ways to see the songs and lyrics! Another great reaction from you two! I tryly enjoy your videos!
The band members write the music and then send it to Menard and he writes the lyrics…that’s why his voice is just another instrument…they only band that does it kinda backwards
From the time we can comprehend life we are told that we are slowly dying, but the truth is that parts of our bodys fall out of function and pieces get replaced over time. Somewhere around every 8 years or so our body's have fully replaced every cell. If you think this a process you can not be a part I bid the meditate more. Every piece of yourself is a vibration that you can attune too and effect with your thoughts, words, and beliefs. We can choose to see this constant changing as dying, being born, evolving, or adapting, but the world only wants to program you to think you are dying, getting old, getting weaker. It is up to you to choose your own mindset, what doesn't kill you will only make you stronger, or weaker; the choice is yours to make. Reality runs on the placebo effect.
The lyrics are not in the front, but they are repetitious and powerful. The lyrics are very raw, and relatable to the human experience. We can all tap into the same thoughts with the lyrics, as they're universal. The music is definitely designed to be in the front, the vocals just another instrument. But what's weird is -as I've experienced - the vocals and lyrics mean different things to me at different stages of my life. Maynard layers meanings into his words that can be experienced differently at multiple different stages of mental development. Quite unique.
This is for all the bands that tried to mimic Tool for all those years. Tool is just saying they are invincible. Whatever the material they would come back after 13+ years with, it would be 100+% Tool than all the things that others try to be like them. You cannot beat the Tool. You have to be one to beat it. They are one and only one of the kind. PEROID
The music is wrote first. Then the band sends it to Maynard and he listens to it and writes the lyrics. It takes an long time to write the music these guys create. Maynard says it takes him a fraction of that time to fill it in with words. that is why he is in other bands like the perfect circle, to fill in the gaps LOL.
I'm a retired Marine who did multiple tours of combat. This song hit a little too close to home and broke me. I've been retired for 4 years, and I'm still struggling with my identity outside the Corps, and my body is falling apart. I sat on my porch and bawled my eyes out reading the lyrics for the 1st time. This song is a true masterpiece and this album will go down as our modern day Beethoven.
I just got really sad reading your experience. Thank you for your service 🙏
@@RosettaStoned462 appreciate it, but honestly, I did it because they let me blow up shit and shoot as much ammo as I could stand to the point of my hands bleeding. For free. And I got paid. Lol
@RosettaStoned462 I miss it, but my body and soul doesn't. Once it's gone it's tough to come to grips with what you saw...and what you did.
Brother you're not alone I'm a retired medic and I can't get through this song without loosing it.
Same for me. Army Iraq war veteran. I often contemplate my decisions that I had to make in a second. Unfortunately, we did what we had to, to survive. Hooraah brother in Arms ❤
Is no one gonna mention the Easter egg of this whole video? That dog chillin, I wish I could be that chill about anything in my life 🤣🤣🤣 excellent song love the reaction spot on
I love her brain, she thinks she isn't getting it but she has such great insight into their music and lyrics!!
One common theme in Tool is Maynard holding himself accountable to his human failures. I take this song as being about himself, his journey as a world famous celebrity and a rockstar, getting older, becoming irrelevant and refusing to quit, even to his detriment.
Yep, this is about Maynard himself...If you have followed his career for a while its pretty clear!
At about the 13:00 min mark, you both imply the musicianship of the band adds a lot of emotion and the music can almost exist without the lyrics.

The best band of my lifetime. All 4 are masters of their craft.

My fave Tool reactors! I'm 56, former collegiate athlete, and every muscle, ache, and pain I have sings this song.😆
Being 59 i can relate one of my favs from them They are like no other To me as close to perfection as music can get
59 myself and this song is relevant.
57 here…… everything you guys said
🔧🌀🌀🌀👁🌀🌀🌀🔧

i always dedicate this song to my uncle who passed from cancer
One of Maynard’s best compositions lyrically. It captures the bands journey so well, and describes current mentality perfectly! Just my humble opinion
Simply put, nothing Maynard writes is ever trivial…
The Tool Army welcomes you and yes your are understanding. Keep listening please!
The tone of Danny's drums is amazing. He's the first drummer that made me consider drums as an instrument rather than just providing a beat.
Seeing you two bob to the beat in time is incredible. This song has a deep, universal marching beat to it that I feel our souls tap into. You're both in perfect sync to it.
She is so on point and relatable. We all feel what you feel. It’s what brings to light what is greater than ourself. We see and feel the truth when it presents itself. You have to be my favorite despite this being my first watch of you two.
You two are so amazing together. You’re understanding of this song resonates here and I like the well used crikey. Love your channel
You know that a song is good when you’re exhausted after listening to it. Great reaction.
love her smile and appreciation slowly get bigger and bigger and bigger.......great reaction guys
What I love about you guys is that you just get it, always with your Tool reactions, you are usually spot on with your interpretations. And you get excited for them!

Watching this through with you guys, I had nostalgic thoughts of a lot of our aging action heroes rolling through my head.
This is my favorite as well. I am an aging rock fan, and this makes very introspective.
I wish you two were my next door neighbors, would love to listen to music and then try to describe what the music, songs meant to each other.
You guys are awesome!
"Here you are" just as relevant as ever.
Where you end is just as relevant as every other moment. This was such a great experience for me. Thank you guys!
i always dedicate this song to all my USMC grunts/Corpsman and Army grunt friends. It is on my LONG WALK playlist. SEMPER FI

Love the genuine reaction of you two thank you
Yeaaaaaahhhh. I love you two. The best reactions to Tool out there. From the heart.
I like to think that the instrumentals take you on a journey and the lyrics are there to guide you through it.
TOOL has a very unique way of connecting with your emotions and making you face the truth. 🔥
As someone mentioned already, Ponce de Leon was a Spanish explorer in the early 1500's. He landed on the eastern coast of Florida; around what is today the city of St Augustine. Besides searching for gold and riches, he was searching for the mythical fountain of youth, that was supposed to be here in the new world.
This album is soooo good
The most introspective band ever, they'll show you a part of yourself you never really knew was there/ or refuse to acknowledge.
YES TOOL once again takes someone on a journey out of the comfort zone! And hence, another awakening!!! Awesome reaction!!!
Thank you for reacting to this song guys. I personally think it's not only one of Tool's top 5 songs, I genuinely think this is one of the best rock songs ever made.

This is our classical music.. they are some complex pieces.. 4 great artists
The GOAT of tool songs. A masterpiece
Your dog is hilarious in the background.... He is just chilling on his back
Amazing reaction! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Wisdom comes from experience, not age..
",just me and my Tool" truer words have never been spoken.
I’m pretty sure the song is about someone who was “once invincible,now the armors wearing thin”….such a great song about aging & a fresh take on singing about getting old…it’s a brutally honest song 🤤man….I love that band 🖤
This was your best Tool reaction so far. It was fun to see you worn out at the end.
Great album, but descending still the best song in it
Musically, this is an incredible piece of music 🎶
Don’t be sorry, you two are great ❤
This invincible is finding the power of you at a mature age. It moves through it and then you get up and dust yourself.

Everybody has struggles every day in their lives. I fight every day with depression just to get out of bed to face my battles. This songis about everyones fights.
That guitar riff from 22:17 - 22:38 is one of my all-time favorites by Tool. So damn good!
I really love this song, it's my favourite ❤
I heard that Maynard writes the lyrics after the band has put down the music. Awesome reactions BTW!!!
The Pause at the end!! Killed me lol Fucking Tool. One of the best songs EVER made. Can't wait to see them 3 times in October!
& Yes, clever girl ❤ Maynard always put his lyrics to music already played
you never give up, you keep fighting!
Tool is an adventure everytime
Great, that you choice tool again. Super!!!!
You can never get enough Tool 🤘🏻🌀
no apologies necessary. we watch to see the real reaction. there in lies the beauty
Hello TOOL ARMY ✌️

Very well said!🌀🤘
Great reaction guys!
Great reaction ! They closed with this song last tour.. I'm getting a bit older so I relate with this song.
Yeah, I saw them in Prague and took a video of their performance of Invincible..
@EiriUesugiKun Nice dude! I was half babysitting my drunk friend 😆..Going to see them in October again pretty stoked!
@@gregoryrobb2604 Oh I'm happy for you! Unfortunately they do not tour that much in Europe so I'm not sure when I'll get the chanse to see them again.
The lyrics are written after the music is recorded. Each song is inspired by itself, in a way.
I identify so much with this song. It's a fascinating experience when a song "hits home" and becomes an internal awareness thing. Heavy shield down, but the truth never got in my way. Great reaction.
Us TOOL fans waited 13 years for this Magnus opus. This is my favorites, Culling Voices 2nd. I cried the first time I listen to the whole album because I felt like they had come to take the fear away from us and that’s why it’s called fear inocculum

This song is incredible
Your reaction reminds me of my brain cells, trying to comprehend tool when I listened to them for the first time
What a soundscape
Just one of the most magical rock songs ever created ❤
The following tracks you need to do:
The Grudge (my favorite)
Schism
Lateralus
Vicarious
Jambi
Stinkfist
Eulogy
Pushit (studio and Salival Live versions)
Third Eye
Don’t forget 46 & 2 !
Pushit and Third Eye are for advanced Tool listers 😂
My favorite song
You have both created an animal. Tool and Rush, your journey is going to be epic. Tool drummer Danny was good friends with Rush's Neil Peart RIP. Maynard's vocals are an instrument that's all you need to take in
……great reaction 🌀 I appreciate your honesty & interpretation of how Tool makes you feel !
🔧🌀🌀🌀👁🌀🌀🌀🔧
That dog in the back is chiiilllllllliiiinnn
Maynard's vocals are more of an instrument. That's his genius.
I would say that this is the story of most of us humans.
My interpretion, from my point in life goes something like this:
In our youth we feel invincible, and act accordingly.
Then .. between 30 to 40 we start to feel .. that we are losing "that" spark and some may start to chase after the "fountain of youth" (hence the reference to Ponce de León).
At some point we (most of us) will come in terms of our aging and inevitable demice, our death.
And then we can live again.
** EDIT** So my interpretion of this song is about our personal growth and maturing. But like in so many Tool songs, we all have our own ways to see the songs and lyrics!
Another great reaction from you two! I tryly enjoy your videos!
The band members write the music and then send it to Menard and he writes the lyrics…that’s why his voice is just another instrument…they only band that does it kinda backwards
Was coming to say this, Maynard and his and words are just another instrument
From the time we can comprehend life we are told that we are slowly dying, but the truth is that parts of our bodys fall out of function and pieces get replaced over time. Somewhere around every 8 years or so our body's have fully replaced every cell. If you think this a process you can not be a part I bid the meditate more. Every piece of yourself is a vibration that you can attune too and effect with your thoughts, words, and beliefs. We can choose to see this constant changing as dying, being born, evolving, or adapting, but the world only wants to program you to think you are dying, getting old, getting weaker. It is up to you to choose your own mindset, what doesn't kill you will only make you stronger, or weaker; the choice is yours to make. Reality runs on the placebo effect.
Mortality eventually catches up with us all! And as you age you realize, it is closer than you realize!
Yes it is
The lyrics are not in the front, but they are repetitious and powerful. The lyrics are very raw, and relatable to the human experience.

Ponce de Leon 👌 great reference 🤟
Y'all lovely and wise
😂 vincible…. I’m gonna use that one tomorrow at work
"the palette of emotions". Very well stated. Never thought of it that way.
Yes music comes first
This is for all the bands that tried to mimic Tool for all those years. Tool is just saying they are invincible. Whatever the material they would come back after 13+ years with, it would be 100+% Tool than all the things that others try to be like them. You cannot beat the Tool. You have to be one to beat it. They are one and only one of the kind. PEROID
The lyrics is also about it. Each and every word, if you can hear it. So proud!
Just a reminder, as TOOL fans, we are all consequential (:
The music is wrote first. Then the band sends it to Maynard and he listens to it and writes the lyrics. It takes an long time to write the music these guys create. Maynard says it takes him a fraction of that time to fill it in with words. that is why he is in other bands like the perfect circle, to fill in the gaps LOL.
Please do 'Right in Two', it's a masterful composition through and through! It's tippy top of the list for many.
They already reacted to Right in two, it was a great reaction!
In my opinion tool is this generation's Pink Floyd. They are the only bands I have ever heard that I questioned if they're from planet earth lol
