I had always known of Tool but this was the song where everything clicked and I immediately became a fan the first time hearing this song is hard to describe its like one of the most hypnotic experiences
@@nickskrtic2788 tool brothers, once you go tool there’s no going back... there are still great songs and musicians out there but Tool is just next level.... one of if not the greatest band ever...and I don’t say that lightly as I’ve spent a lot of time (40+years) researching and listening to every type of music and tool almost displays all that with their ability. From Bach to Metallica the doors, pink Floyd led zep black sabbath not including all the tribal an eastern style drumming etc...lol......I love them but they aren’t perfect...but they are close.... Tool thank you for my personal journey with you....
You're going to discover a lot of things about this album are different than any of their other albums. It's a culmination, or rather, a maturity if you will of their collective abilities all gathered into this album. Everything they have learned over their careers are right here laid before you.
The music is incredibly uplifting and euphoric. Maynard always uses his vocals well to compliment the song, he never wants to be front and centre of the group. The music on this album is so good that it doesn't need someone singing over the top of it through 10+ minute tracks.
YES! You are correct! Maynards voice accompanied the drums. The drums are the star of this song! This is my favorite track from this album. I love the poly-rhythm buildup in the middle.
Yes it must be done. But I don't think they should do a break down on it because they already have here in this video. They should just watch and enjoy the marvel that is Danny Carey.
Your comment at 15:58 is EXACTLY why you will appreciate the Drum Cam Video of this song! So epic, you'll appreciate the musicality of this song even more!
Great reaction and analysis as always 🤘🤘 so happy you chose to do the studio version first. Thats the only way to do it in my opinion. Now you can enjoy watching the drum cam video and see just how much goes into this song on the drums! Looking forward to it!!
Exactly! I don't think I would've enjoyed the song as much had I watched the live version first. Glad I listened to the studio version first. I definitely appreciate the studio version more after watching Danny's video.
Can't wait for you to see the Drum cam version of this song. Will give you a whole new perspective on it. It's been my favorite video on RU-vid since it came out.
I really hope you listen to this track at least a couple more times, on your own time of course, before reacting to the drum-cam version. I guarantee that the more familiar you are with the studio version, the drum-cam version will become a most galvanizing, remarkable experience that opens your eyes into what actually went into the process of creating this track.
I feel the same way. The tabla pad sounds much better, more natural than on the studio master. There seem to be a few changes to some of the fills, more of the North Indian influence perhaps, not sure though, could just be because of differences in the mix balance, though..
This song totally blows me away, like no other song can do. Every piece and part of it is as close to perfect as humanely possible. The 1st song on Opiate has a hint of all Tool is in 1 3 min song. Pneuma is the pinnacle of that, imo. Every song on FI is great but, Pneuma is especially great, imo
One of the most technically skilled bands I have ever heard. Like many fans of music, I love Bach and classical music where it is complicated and intricate. I love Jazz. Bluegrass. I love the guitar gods of the 70s and 80s. I love the best drummers to ever shine in various genres of music. Collectively the Tool crew constantly invents, performs and rises to a level that really blows me away album after album. Maybe not prolific but brilliant nonetheless. BTW, you are beautiful and eloquent yourself! Thanks for letting us listen to this song with you.
Everybody lost their shit over pneuma, probably the biggest reaction out of any song that night. And likewise, didn't get to see 7empest as we were one of the first shows on the tour and it was 35+ Celcius at 9pm 😂 haha
The next best thing to listening to TooL songs is watching new reactions of TooL songs. People experiencing it for the first time. Ohhhh for the first time again. But they just keep getting deeper and better.
This song is musically outstanding. Wait until you see the live drum cam. You will see Danny Carey has 5 brains, one in his head and one in each limb. Truly incredible. Don’t just listen to the drum cam. YOU MUST WATCH IT to truly appreciate the drums.
Two things about this song seem really special to me. In the second verse they create perhaps the most soothing and hypnotic feeling I've ever experienced in a song. It's so cool. And secondly, the big transition in the middle of the song leads into the long, steady and most epic build-up. So beautiful and powerful at the same time. This track is a true masterpiece, IMO.
TOOL woke up the lion in all of us. We must become Pnuema. The son be coming. Jesus or JFKjr? I wanna meet them both. Thanks TOOL for being the greatest tool in unlocking the Questions of the universe. I know the pieces fit, I found the lost keys in my shadow. There are no coincidences just connections. Gematria and sacred geometry tell the story. Thanks for being its voice.
Good analysis today. Pnuema aka ruach, Prana, chi, vril ,astral light ...... can’t wait for invincible it’s probably my favorite tool song since the album dropped.
I love how similar Pneuma and Schism are yet they're so different at the same time. If you were to characterize Tool's sound it would be these 2 songs because there's no other band in the world that can sound like Tool. Originality to the fullest degree.
Sat Nam 🙏, in Sanskrit language breath is called String - String which binds material dimension with beyond. Body, and any other physical matter, cannot exist without its connection to beyond because its source is beyond. So everything breaths in its own designed way. We actually do not know at all what is breath, we just feel the sensation of air passing thru our respiratory organs so we think its breath, but in reality its much much more. Once the string is broken, body just collapses and you become disembodied, your perception rises manyfolds because 5 senses are not obscuring the reality anymore. BUT all the bodily tools which we were using thru the lifetime are gone, most notably discriminatory part of the mind, so what remain are tendencies and you continue to move by them. As majority of people are identified with their body for their whole human life time, initial tendency is to get back in it, but it is impossible as that body is not capable to sustain life anymore (in many cultures first thing what people do with dead bodies is bring together the legs, even tie up the big toes, as between the legs is the path where life wants to get back into the body). Most of the “enlightments” (seeing the reality as it really is) if someone is conscious enough happen in this moment. Conscious contact with other disembodied and divine beings becomes possible. So it is very important you increase your perception and open yourself to truth before string is broken, while you still have discriminatory part of mind (still be a human - Lateralus), otherwise risk of delusion is high and you can’t retain balanced connection with the source for long, you fall back away from source again and by tendencies reach out to available womb to be born again as human being. Time and again, game restarts. If accumulated karma is very bad (killers...), this process can be very suffering in its delusion (hell?) and you may be even incapable of reaching the human womb, so you fall further down. If accumulated karma is generally good, this process can be very pleasant (heaven?) but it is still delusion and in one moment you need to re-born. Fortunately nature designed several levels of screens, so we don't remember our previous human lives, otherwise our mental structure would collapse as most of the people do not have that mental strength to discriminate between many mixed memories. Unfortunately with some people these screens are not working, so there are medical records where people with split personality disorder had even up to 30 split personalities (30 lifetimes mixed?). DON'T RAISE YOUR PERCEPTION BY CHEMICALS, VERY IMPORTANT as by it you are skipping many necessary preparatory steps, and risk is high to collect bad karma, even if experience is pleasant it may lead to delusions and certainly addiction. Then how to raise our perception? - do it naturally, slowly, step by step, daily discipline, pay attention to life, include life, exclude psychological dramas, enjoy in silence, listen the music, enjoy in arts, eat healthy, avoid nerve stimulants (coffee, alcohol, tobacco, chilly, sweets), take care of body as it is foundation for strong mind, be active but not hyperactive, look into the sun when UV rays are low (early morning, late afternoon), enjoy in Moon's reflections (its romance with the Sun), be grateful to Cosmos for keeping you and all the planets and stars in place, choose carefully your relationships, don’t sleep with anybody just because you can, respect other life, kill and eat only what you really must... simply LIVE, and remember always THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS DEATH, DEATH IS A COSMIC JOKE, DELUSION OF OUR LIMITED MIND, THERE IS ONLY LIFE AND LIFE! Sat Nam 🙏
You listened to this just how you should for the first time... Headphones on, volume up to 11, eyes closed... This song is not a song... It is an experience...
Psyche, pneuma, soma, sarx = Soul, breath (spirit), mind, body. In the bible, the Hebrew/Aramaic word for spirit is ruach (spirit or the emotional part of the soul in qabalah), which was rendered as pneuma in the Septuagint. When it was translated into the Latin Vulgate, pneuma was translated to spiritus, whose root is spiró, spiráre, to breathe. In all senses, ruh, from Semitic roots, refers to the animating principle of the human being.
Bible translations gives us these insights: The Greek pneuʹma (spirit) comes from pneʹo, meaning “breathe or blow,” and the Hebrew ruʹach (spirit) is believed to come from a root having the same meaning. ... Ruʹach and pneuʹma, then, basically mean “breath” but have extended meanings beyond that basic sense.(Hebrew ruʹach; Greek pneuʹma), or life-force, of man
Tool only has 8 music videos. Please start reactions to their music videos. You have to watch them. Their very very deep and meaningful. Please react to them...
I think your talking about the Mandela pads, they are an electronic pad, that are pre programmed touch pads that generate different sounds depending on where you hit them, I think you'll take out abit more once you've watched the drum cam video, this song is very drums heavy..
Here's a tip. If you watch the crash Cymbal you can see the underlying tempo. Even with all the math. That crash Cymbal is keeping the underlying tone. ;)
Thanks team. Your reactions are done, Right! Is there plans in the pipeline to to Thirteenth step from aperfect circle? Almost best to be done in its entirety
I believe he was saying that we all are part of the same being. One breath, we are the essence of the universe, we just ARE (God). Light looking at itself. The reason for anything and everything. Be enlightened...
I always feel, When he says “child wake up child release the light” and as the theory goes we are Children of God so when we come to pass at that time regardless of age we are still children of God so Child release The light
This album is fantastic but you will not enjoy it on first listen, especially 7empest which is one of their best songs. This album requires multiple listens before it grows on you.
Spirit is eternal, but bound in the flesh, as if 1 foot is nailed down, and we're just doing laps round and round. The body dies, then the spirit is freed and given a new, spiritual body that is eternal, for better or worse. 1 breath, 1 word (God blew the breath of lives into Adam's flesh body, and in that was the seed for every other life. Remember, God knew us all b4 he founded the earth, and he made the earth for us to have dominion over. When Adam ate the forbidden fruit, he gave that dominion to Satan. Jesus had to come and live, die, go to Hell, whoop Satan's rump, freed the captives in hades, took them to Paradise, then rose again on earth, but I digress). We all came from that 1 breath that God breathed into Adam's nostrils. We are all 1. Stop fighting and be 1, for God's sake. This is how I view this song
@@initum1599 Well I was hoping that it would. I listened "Invincible" and "Decending" today and realized that you release content on saturdays. :) And thank you for responding. :) (may I be so bold and to request a NON-TOOL video? Porcupine Tree - Hatesong, there is a great live version ( ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-O5nAA_QXBPY.html ). ;) But take your time, add it in the endless list of requests. :) And thank you, your analytic reactions are great! :)
hi, i'm Giovanni, i'm italian. I'm working on a video-translate of Wings for Marie part 2 of Tool. I know your channel on youtube andi really appreciate your videos. I want ask you a question. how do you insert original Tool'tracks in your video without having copyright's problems?
Do you have an understanding of the time signatures? I loved your explanation of pneuma but I think Maynard was explaining pneuma using math.. He was explaining us here as math.
Hey, thanks for commenting. Unfortunately we don't know enough understanding of time signatures to speak about them competently, so we rather not mention it as it's too easy to say something silly. We definitely notice that they are somewhat unusual but we can't really tell the details.
@@initum1599 Here's my favorite Danny video. He played with this high school girl's band. Look at his face the entire performance. He's such a gem but he killed that kit. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rEfS-GkSWMQ.html
