I have heard Tool's "Lateralus" before, but never in headphones where I could truly actively listen and analyze what I was hearing. This makes today even more special, as it's one of Kirk's favorite songs. No pressure. Let's break out the graphing calculators and have some fun!
Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Tool's studio recording of "Lateralus".

If she was a baby she would be crying. Hope you guys understand my point. Cheers.

@xenophagia 2 года назад

I love that they're not just technical for technicalities sake. They don't sacrifice their musicality for technicality. In fact, they use their technicality to enhance their musicality, and they do so in such unique & creative ways! Tool has taught me a whole hell of a lot on my journey as a musician & sound engineer. I'm extremely lucky to have had them as a very early and continuous influence in my 27 or so years of playing music and instruments of all kinds (as well as recording and sound engineering, of course). It says a lot about a band when non-musicians can enjoy and appreciate their music on a high level, but at the same time there is basically an unlimited amount of technicality and musical intricacies for musicians to geek out to.

I feel I must add, they are technically brilliant musicians, possibly to the point of genius, but so much would be lost if their production wasn't fucking ON POINT. I feel like they must have a lot of input there because there's a lot of coordination that needs to take place for an artist to get ideas as layered as tool's to flow through their production.

I liked parabola before, but then I got in a terrible automobile accident and became crippled. Then I redsicovered that song, and it really was life changing. "This body, this body holding me, be my reminder that I am not alone in this body, this body holding me, feeling eternal, all this pain is an illusion." Really takes on a different meaning when you're in actual chronic physical pain.

@jonathancapps1103 Год назад

26:40 There's a lot going on here in this bit that you find so hypnotic. Justin starts what feels like a 6/8 groove. Then Danny enters with a 5/16 pattern on the high hat. Then Adam comes in with a splified version of the intro riff that feels 6/8, but as it develops into the complete riff it feels to me that it's in 4/4 and that Justin's 6/8 has actually been eighth-nite triplets this whole time giving us a 3 against 4 vibe. Maynard then enters, also arguably in 4/4, thereby confirming the actual time signature. But as MJK joins in, Danny adds a slow drum groove on top of his 5/16 high hat work, making the drums feel like they're now 10/8. Or _would be_ 10/8, if Justin isn't playing triplets, but rather the straight 6/8 we initially assumed before Adam and MJK came in. I don't know how to give the drums a time signature in the context of Adam's and MJK's 4/4. One full 10/8 drum measure takes 1 and 2/3 of a 4/4 guitar measure. It's an example of polymeter and of polytempo, since Danny's 1/8 note is a third longer than Adam's 1/8 note.

Just realized while she was analyzing this, the reason I like the whole “swing on the spiral” section and the lines leading up to it is because Maynard treats them kind of like olms(sp) or chants from certain cultures, where he uses the diphthongs to achieve a certain vocal resonance. As if this whole crescendo at the climax to this peace is meant as a type of overarching mantra of how someone chooses to approach life.

@xenophagia 2 года назад

@@davidkalisch7168 I'm a drummer as well.. I agree, but Neil and Danny are (and were, RIP Neil) both on that level that they can literally play anything. It just comes down the directions they want to take with their playing musically. You can see this in both of their written music. They could play with just pure mind shattering technicality if they wanted, but instead they use their technicality to enhance their musicality (which ends up being more mind shattering). Neil and Danny are one in the same in that regard, as well as their skill. It says a lot about a musician or band if they can play obscenely technical music that the average listener can understand and appreciate, yet at the same time musicians can infinitely geek out on the technicality and the musical intricacies. It's wonderful that there are so many bands that pretty much exist solely for other musicians due to their sheer technicality. Yet at the same time, I feel that musicality and dynamics have been largely forgotten about for quite a long time ( I'm speaking mainly of modern metal and it's sub-genres btw). Luckily dynamics and musicality seem to be making a comeback in the different genres of modern metal, which is great. Anyway, sorry about that bit of a tangent I went on lol.

@nathancilley153 2 года назад

Love this song!! So glad you did a deep dive into this masterpiece of music. I would also like to point out that Maynard starts singing at 1:37 seconds into the song. If you take 37/60 you will get 0.616666. Add that to the first minute, this is as close to the golden ratio value (1.618003398875) as you can get with the intervals of a 60 second minute. Another subtitle way they weave math/the Fibonacci sequence/Golden ratio into the song.

@TheLordMarty 2 года назад

Wow that is cool! Also, if you invert the division (60/37), it kinda fits (not so close as adding it to the minute) the golden ratio as well.

@puckarine 2 года назад

The message I feel is to be gleaned from this song is not limiting yourself. How overthinking and second-guessing yourself may prevent you from seizing opportunities. This is also in how at the beginning when his lines build up to eight syllables then start slipping back, then reaching out a little further to thirteen. Also toward the end when he starts referring to the spiral which on a graphed Fibonacci sequence continues to grow out to infinity, talking about riding the spiral to the end and to keep going, it seems to be about overcoming fear of the unknown and uncertain an removing all limits to your growth. Just like you said there are so many layers to interpret, a lot of phrases jump out to this meaning. “Reaching out to embrace the random, reaching to embrace whatever may come” or “Ride the spiral to the end, it may just go where no one’s been, spiral out, keep going.” There really is a lot to unpack here.

@rynnziolkowski4642 2 года назад

So, after just putting myself out there like that...I just wanted to thank you. :)

@TheCellsGameFactory 2 года назад

@@TroublesomeOwl Thank you. That is a smart assessment. I can feel "pressure" on my left side if the bass is pronounced enough to cause fluctuations in the air. Considering that in order to make that happen I would need to listen to the audio at a very, very high level and doing that would likely cause damage to my functional ear. Let's just say if Bethhoven was only to hear his music through air pressures similar to how I can with my deaf side. Then that poor man was missing out on a full blown orchestra of sounds.

1(Black), 1(then), 2(white are), 3(all I see), 5(in my infancy), 8(red and yellow then came to be), 13(As below so above and beyond I imagine) ---- Fibonacci Sequence. The pattern is repeated and even reversed throughout the song. Also, the colors represent Alchemical Magnum Opus for the philosopher's stone, or great work. Traditionally, Nigredo (black) is the first stage, Abedo (white) step 2, followed by Rubedo (red) and Citrinitas (yellow). The intro is 01:12, the 1st 4 numbers in the Fibonacci Sequence. The first verse starts at 97 seconds or approximately 1.618 minutes Phi(Golden Ratio). There are so many little nuggets of information in this song and the album that it's difficult to list them (and probably to know them) all.

“Forty Six & 2” (7/8 during the instrumental) Tool is heavy into math and time. “Schism”, has an intro groove broken into alternating bars of 5/8 and 7/8 (you could think of it as a longer phrase of 12/8) “Pneuma” (12/8 to 11/8 to 10/8) The original working title for the song “Lateralus” was “987” because in the intro and choruses, the time signature changes from 9/8 to 8/8 (aka 4/4) then 7/8. Danny dives deep into polyrhythms, polymeters, and other mathematical goodies. We hear multiple time signatures/meters happening at the same time, giving us a cool over the bar line feel. In “Lateralus”, the band plays in 6/8 (or a 12/8 feel) while Danny plays in 5/8. I figured this out after hearing Bill Burr (yes, the comedian -- who is seriously into drumming) describe a time he was listening to a drummer play(Taylor Hawkins from Foo Fighters) and Danny was there as well, and the guy got into polymeters hard enough to impress Danny... and Bill too of course. Now that I understood what to look for I found many skilled drummers with write ups on their reverse engineering of Danny's beats and rhythms.

@robertelee467 2 года назад

You emphasized the musical intricacies of the song very, very well to the point of mastery. You lightly touched on the lyrics which are phenomenal in this song. One of the lines that really got me in the song that’s part of the repeat, is where he says “ pushing the envelope to watch it bend“. That is such a deep lyric on life when you stop and think about it. Your objective is to push the envelope as much as you can, but nobody ever thinks about watching that envelope bend because it’s reached it’s limit. That is a very deep, and thought-provoking, line… In my opinion. Such a great song by Tool! I will edit this post by saying, once you hear this song completely through… It’s like a drug. And what I mean by that is, by the time you’re done with the song, the driving and hypnotizing force of the song, you wanna do it again… And again… And again…

One thing to mention, Adam james is not a shredder virtuoso as many would like , but how he can put this nuances together and how he can write this kind of patterns and work in different time signatures is unreal.
