WHO EVER WRITES THESE RECORDS IS INSANE! TOOL IS JUST DIFFERENT, DEFINITELY MY FAV ROCK GROUP SO FAR!
Have you done The Pot???
I think so@@-Manda_SKnight_BeastMoD
It maynard!! Pretty much all!!
@stevie.knight you haven't done the pot. PLEASE do it. It's amazing.
They write the music first and Maynard then writes the lyrics.
I love irony of how the lyrics criticize over thinking and over analyzing rather than just living and feeling the experience while this song is one of the most over analyzed and thought about songs out there.
😆👍🤘
That's part of the point of the song. There's a juxtaposition between the meaning of the lyrics of the verses vs. the lyrics of the chorus. The music is telling the same story.
🎯
It's like the line from Alice in Chains (which still grinds my gears because I had put it in a poem a couple years before their song, but I digress...🤣) "I think I think too much." It's in the overthinking that we discover our own thoughts but in doing so, we also discover that our thoughts are what keeps us from discovering our true self.
It also can be tied into a phrase I use a lot - the more I learn, the more I realize know nothing.
I thought it was hilarious that Stevie said “I’m gonna listen to whole chunks and…” then RIGHT AFTER was Maynard talking about feeling instead of over analyzing. Just rollllll with it.
We are not Human beings having a spiritual experience. We are Spiritual beings having a human experience
"You can't be a dumbass listening to tool" made me laugh so hard lol
I've been proving that wrong for 30 years now.
@@normie2716 me too i'm pratically ret*rded and love listening to tool ;p
Tool is absolutely cerebral in both lyricism and musicianship. By far one of my favorite bands... Period
best show i've ever seen live and I've seen alot of shows
The song is pronounced “latter-al-us” and just like all their other songs, the band makes the music first, then sends it to Maynard who writes the lyrics to complete the songs. To me, Tool is its own genre and they are indeed an experience. They also have one of, if not, the best drummer alive in Danny Carey. You should check out his drum cam video of Pneuma to see how amazing Danny is at the drums. Tool is a trip.
Or if you drink tea with your pinky finger in the air: Latter-ah-lus
For me, Kai hatho is the best drummer alive
different band but same kinda appeal for me is Dream Theatre - Panic Attack
This is facts. Even the way they make their music is weird. It's what makes them one of the best progressive metal bands I've ever heard of.
@@avgriffin49 Mike Portnoy is in my top 5 drummers
Vicarious is a great one to analyze the lyrics....rings true today...
This song is a fu**ing masterpiece in every single aspect. Tool, every single one of them are masters, absolute geniuses in their craft. I love this band ❤
It's the greatest song ever written both musically and lyrically. 🤘
My homie!! 😅
Tool and Pink Floyd are my top two favorite bands of all time. Saw Tool in the mid 2000's and it was one of the best concerts I have ever seen. They performed Lateralus and it was fantastic. Seeing Danny Carey play in person is a hell of an experience.
Danny Carey is a BEAST
Same here they are the only bands I've heard that I question if they're from planet earth lol
My two favorites as well.
69 years old and am going to my first tool concert! So excited!
Same. I have a gentleman that delivers my mother-in-law's meals-on-wheels every day and he is a huge Pink Floyd fan from back in the day (must be in his early 70s). I turned him on to Tool and told him they are the Pink Floyd of metal. Every now and then he shows up with Tool blasting from the car!
I interpret this as him singing about the importance of human curiosity. We always want an answer to things unknown(ie. New experiences). Instead of going in blind with curiosity(the innate urge to push the envelope, cross the line) and use our intuition to understand a new experience, we tend to overthink and overanalyze things with logic beforehand.
If we only thought and analyzed everything new to us, we wouldn't have curiosity. Without curiosity, we would miss out on new and random experiences. Without experiencing new and random things, we won't have a developed intuition to help us make sense of new things. If we don't have the ability to make sense of new things, we would always fear the unknown. With fear blocking us from approaching the unknown, humanity would no longer advance.
Embrace the random. Ride the spiral of your curiosity into the unknown, and keep riding it to the end.
Maintain a healthy balance between curiosity and logic. Too much curiosity is a danger to the body. Too much logic is a danger to the soul.
What's great is that there is no wrong interpretation to this song. However this song is taken, it is open for all of us to interpret through our own lenses...
Great take. I think you nailed it.
You gotta put headphones in when listening to TOOL even more of an experience trust us
The whole spiral concept is crazy, not only with the syllable play on the Fibonacci sequence but also just the concept of life and nature vs the unknown and infinity. This lyrics have a bunch of key details that reference life and birth, question your life till you reach the end in this infinite universe.
Also this is my first time hearing Tool I didn't expect to have this wild trip but it was dope, I need to check their albums.
Tip. The newer stuff is more cerebral...the further one goes back in their catalogue, the darker it gets imo .
I would suggest 46&2 next
I would argue 10 000 days and lateralus are the two easiest albums to listen through if you're looking for a place to start. Other folks might argue that aenima is the easiest album to listen through.
Saw this live. I remember turning to my older sister at the beginning on the instruments and saying "it's Lateralus" and her asking how I knew and I said "it's my favorite fucking song!" I'm getting chills just typing this.
A very awesome song to basically say - trust your gut
Once again Stevie nails Tool 🔥 Perfect matchup
Tool and Alice in Chains just make for a great day!
Ladder-Alice
Right in two would be a good one to do… a bit more grounded lyrically and not so abstract as this one. This one is entrenched in new age/Eastern philosophy. Vicarious would also be an excellent one… very relatable to everyone, especially these days.
💥⚡️🔥”RIGHT IN TWO”💥☄️🔥
Lateralus is my psychedelic anthem! Spiral out, keep going. 👊🏻
Yes!! Been waiting for you to do this song. Loved hearing your interpretation. Definitely about our human experience and meshing with the spiritual world. Realizing the infinite, pushing boundaries, beyond the lines of reason to see what else we can find, appreciating the beauty of this world. The power and connection of it all! Whew!! This song gives me chills every single time. Spiral out, keep going Stevie!
These dudes are the truth! There’s no two ways around it. ✌️
This gets automatic like just because it says Stevie Knight and tool in the same title 🔥
the spiraling he talks about is referencing the Fibonacci sequence as in spiraling out of control but also confined to the limits of the spiraling.
@Dm.Stevieknight I
do too! its my semen... would you like a load????
That’s man! Love your tool breakdowns!
It’s soooo damn kool to see you dig into these songs. It’s nice to see someone recognize what they do. They really are just different. Definitely a favorite band of mind so I love to see this!
Great breakdown mate. Credit to you that you can recognise and relate. Not everyone is that humble to see outside of what is staring them in the face.❤️🔥👏🤘
I've been waiting for you to dive in on this band. Lyrics and talent over 9000
Stevie deserves a lot of credit for this reaction...it felt like he was teaching me about this song and I have listened to it countless times over the years. Great job 👍
You have definitely got the right mindset to understand their music
Nailed it bro. Youre always so sharp.
Good observations. Thanks, man.
Right in Two and The Pot....bars! I've been following your Tool journey, and those are amazing songs that you should listen and react to.
Thats dope u doin a reaction to Tool!! Love it!
The first Tool song I heard was Jimmy. I was working on a dive boat off the coast of Alaska, and crashing through the swells with Tool blasting through the speakers is an experience that can't be measured!
Hi Stevie 👍🏻 hope all is well with you and yours bro ❤
Man I enjoy watching people discover Tool both lyrically and musically. I'm seeing them live for the third time next week. This is getting me so hyped up. Thanks buddy! Subscribed!
Been waiting on this one for a while now since i discovered this channel. You do a great job with your analysis
Every TOOL song is a masterpiece.
While I agree with your comment I must say.... SHIT, BLOOD, AND CUM ON MY HANDS!
I would suggest going back and reacting to this song through a good pair of headphones. The sounds you will pick up will take this to a WHOLE NEW LEVEL!🌀🌀🌀
I've never been so entertained and confused listening to a song. Crazy good.
Love the Tool lyric breakdowns. You definitely gotta do the Pot. Doubles for days.
Glad to see you doing tool..
Glad you're checking this out!
La ter alus. Lol
Check out reflection. The last 4 minutes is gold.
The new Opiate break is gemz as well.
This song Lateralus is written in 9/8 using a hemiola poly rhythm in the key of D.
amazing reaction/breakdown respect
If you think listening to TOOL is an experience you should see them in concert! They are about to go on tour! Spiral out!
One of my favorite bands Tool!!!!!Great break down
I know every word, ive seen Tool and A Perfect Circle, I fucking love this shit!
Maaaan this why I respect the hell out of the way Stevie thinks! Stevie... have you ever done acid?? Now, have you ever done acid... ON TOOL??? Lol FR tho.
You hit the explanation of this song perfectly my friend 🤘
I admire the effort you put into analyzing these lyrics. 👍 Tool is deep
Let it in... Don't try to get there, since it isn't a "there" but inside you... and everything. Our tiny language can't compare to the real beauty of the center. The center is consciousness, seeing all time and all possibilities. Mushrooms can lead you to a window to watch the truth. You can only be a part of it if you let go of this world and embrace consciousness... Togetherness. One. Much love my brother. We will come back to the center. Let it in.
An experience they are, and the end of this song is one of the most mind-blowing musical experiences you can have.
Maynard is a genius!
My very first concert was Tool at SDSU. They were incredible.
Ummm…. WOW! In my opinion, you absolutely nailed this! I’m kinda dumbfounded… it felt like you were speaking my words! Yeah, SPOT ON!!! 💯
Whether you are right or wrong. You had to think about it in an open way. Tool always has been on some deep shit. Love that band.
who are you to wave your finger? jk hahahah just memin lol
Love where the channel is now but happy to see you still wanting to check out some tunes. Check Tool Pneuma next with lyrics
Glad you discovered this song. TOOL just taps into something greater. See them when you can. Fuckin incredible.
Good to see you on the Spiral. TOOL Army since ‘91.
I just wanna add that you really should use headphones for Tool as it really enhances what you rightfully called 'experience', Tool's a wild journey!
I'm seeing them for the third time in November and I cannot wait. I saw them twice on their Lateralus tour and it is an experience. Nice breakdown.
tool is a trip man. love it
Favorite song by my favorite band! Seeing it live was crazy
I've listened to Tool for about 20 years and hadn't really analysed these lyrics until I found this video. I definitely follow your line, I think part of it is about approaching life, whether it's the tangible (this world) or intangible (spiritual world), balancing between your emotional and rational way of thinking. I myself have become far too rational and thereby cynical as I've grown older, and try to get back to a more balanced (and therefore less cynical) way of seeing things. Anyway, might not make sense to others but that kinda resonated with me at this point in time, maybe I'll see it differently later in life.
Thanks for bringing great content, really enjoyed this and other Tool videos you've posted!
Nailed it, Stevie! Love your interpretation bro
Dude I love that you have listened to Tool, bless you man
what a good reaction. nailed it. so much respect here. awesome music, awesome reaction. top notch.
Yay....Stevie is back with more Tool!
Really need the headphones to fully appreciate Tool and all the power that they are.
To me, this song is about the process an artist or creator goes through while producing their body of work.
Happy Wednesday, Stevie!!! Hope you are your's are doing well! Great reaction!
Great reactions my guy
🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘
Nice man, been waiting for you to get back to Tool
Great reaction Steve.
FINALLY.... been waiting for your Tool journey to actually keep rolling! Each song will reveal something new each time you listen to it, it's almost impossible to catch everything on your first go. like 99%.. so take your time bro. I'd say listen to the instruments first, then lyrics, then put the clues together. you're going to miss out on the drummer's work (Danny) :)
You made my day for reals
@@Dm.Stevieknight whats that
The Fibonacci sequence is also a spiral ...
Spot on!
Great reaction!!!
Thanks for being someone a kid can look up to. You hold no grudges no biases and respectful to all people.
That drumming is nuts
11:40 "separates the body from the mind" - intuition comes first through the body and if you get too mind-focused you lose touch with the felt senses.
YEEES! Love tool, love seeing new people who aren’t really “into” rock be introduced to them.
Maynard has his hands in 2 other bands as well. A Perfect Circle and Pusifer. I have been to two of Tools concerts in a 6mth time frame. They are an experience that evrrryone should witness atleast once. Their shows are great! Enjoy the journey!
Bask in your relevance to the universe
Music in general, but absolutely with TOOL, is best listened to with quality headphones. So many nuances missed without them. Also the spiral referred to in the song can be visualized in a graph of the Fibonacci sequence that actually is a spiral shape. It is represented not only in nature in many forms (think of a conch shell) but also metaphorically as you interpreted as journeying spiritually as you grow…
SPIRAL OUT, KEEP GOING!!! 🤘🏻
Ayoooo Samson dropped get going on it fam!!!
Hands down best Tool reaction I've seen, cheers brother... don't overthink it, just feel it.
Fibonacci code is visualized as spirals. I think it's even called a golden spiral. I believe swinging on a spiral of our divinity is a poetic reference to that.
Never attempted to interprate this lyrics consciously but I believe this is about growth and expanding your experience of life. Your growth is not linear it's an expanding spiral that widens your perspective . Lateral thinking is all about looking for something we missed before to find new ways to solve problems or deepen our understanding.
Greatest song I ever heard
Lateralus, using the Fibonacci Sequence is Pure Genius, just like the Early Orchestral Musicians that used it, Masters like Mozart, Beethoven and Debussy and in Modern times Tool! Stevie, where are your Headphones?
Dayumm u did tool too!! 🔥🔥🔥
I like your shirt brother. Keep the videos comin
I enjoy your insight good Sir, everyone loves Tool. Have a wonderful day!
Oh what's so fun is that it's still following the PERFECT fibonacci sequence in lyrics and timing...
You can never go wrong
Fibonacci sequence or the rule of Thirds ...can't loose ... Yelawolf told me - " ...there's good money in a Pyrex measuring cup ..." 😂
11:24 some things in this world just don’t make sense
-Rob Thomas
😂
This song goes on everyday without fail…
