Tool - Wings For Marie 1 and 2 (Reaction) 

"Look, isn't a great reaction, I'm sorry." Actually, this was the best, most realistic and genuine reaction to this song. It pretty much hits everyone like that.

10000 days in the fire is long enough, you're going home gets me every time.

I thought that your reaction was absolutely perfect

“Give me my, give me my WINGS!” Absolutely haunting.

Can't help it man, my mother died last year from cancer and I can't stop crying listening to this song. Such an impactful song, nothing much to say, just very deep sad feelings.

It is a shame the original got taken down because it was magic. I sat and watched this with my mom all the way through and we were both in tears. My mom went into a coma and later died after a knee operation in 2021. I think about her all day every day and I comfort myself with us watching this together. I love you mom, you are the greatest. I miss you and hope I see you again.

Don't sell yourself short, fantastic reaction.

This is the only song I know that consistantly makes me break down in tears, every. damn. time. Amazing song, and it kicked me square in the arse about seeing my parents more while they are still alive. To make something like this for your dead loved one and spread it to the world for people to feel the emotions, it's pure magic and a damn good deed to humankind.

Honestly, this is one of the best pieces of music ever written.

Well, guess I’m crying before work today.

This song legit brings tears to my eyes.

Now that's how you listen to a tool song for the first time. Just sitting there soaking it all in. Excellent reaction.

It's normal that I cry every time I listen this song even if my mom is alive?

Your few seconds silence after the song had finished, I heard your every word. No matter how many times I've heard these tracks, the raw emotion gets me every time.

I cried the first time I listened to it, the last, and, literally, every time in between.

this song (and some others) are even more powerful when you know that his mother had been paralysed from an brain aneurism for approximately the last ten thousand days of her life. he had been struggling with these feelings for a very long time even before she passed.

I am an Atheist and this song hits me EVERY TIME, because ultimately it’s a song about LOVE and that’s something we can ALL relate to. Great reaction!!

Tool's Stairway to Heaven. Beautiful eulogy for Maynard's mother and one that hit me hard. Had a similar situation with my grandmother and it just really resonates.

Jim, this is the same reaction we all had when first listening to this song. Solemn awe, contemplation, and a sense of appreciation for the creative and emotional talent it took to create this song. I'm glad you didn't talk during the song. There's not much to say really. It speaks for itself.

If you’ve ever lost a parent this song epitomizes to me what it feels like. The pain, anger and overwhelming love of it are represented in this song are flawlessly. This is just on a different level. This is that song that makes me cry but the kind of cry where you feel better afterwards. It helped me with my loss. These two songs as well as Parabol and Parabola are some of the most healing music I’ve ever come across.

I wonder if Marie knew she would touch millions through the inspiration given to her son.

Sometimes we have to acknowledge the limitations of words. It's ok to be at a loss for words and just feel what the song makes you feel. We can see what you feel, and because we felt/feel the same way about this song, your reaction is spot on. Few bands have the ability to stir the gauntlet of emotions like Tool does, and this is why Tool's fans are forever grateful they make the music they do. Keep spiraling out, Jim.

Has to b one of the most emotional songs ever, especially when u know the context of the song.....

Most authentic reaction I've seen yet on any "reaction video".

This is why they will go down as the best band to ever grace the planet. They are the only ones who can tap into your physique and manifest your own feelings into an audible sensory experience. Their art is for you to use.....as a Tool. You haven’t truly experienced this song until you’ve seen it live.

If a song can leave you lost for words, then it's a phenomenal song. Your reaction was exactly what MJK wanted.

This song makes me call my mother. She has been my angel my entire life. I fear the day she leaves

two min in and the tears are already welling...never fails.

I just buried my mommy this past Sunday, I still have a giant hole in my heart.

this is the only track by Tool i can't listen often. it can ruin a good day for sure and it can help you on a bad one, either. so most times i listen to the 10000 days album, i skip this 2-parted ode to Maynards mother, surely not in disrespect of the work the band has put into it. Jim, your reaction just underlines the insecurity how to deal with death in general, the unawareness about what happens with us. I don't have an answer, too.

This song is hard to listen to...very powerful. And it makes even stronger when you know that Maynard is probably an atheist and kinda hates/despises religion because of what he's experienced as a child when he's mom became paralyzed and her church acted like she was being punished by something that she'd done, instead of helping them. So for Maynard to put his beliefs aside and write a song about her faith it's quite noble.

It really is one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever recorded.

I just cried watching this as i do every time i hear it. TOOL is my favorite band and i miss my grandma.

0 dislikes 4 months in, amazing, this song is a master piece

As a long time Tool fan (20 years ago) i am ashamed to admit i never heard this before and i love discovering their "newer" material along with you. this brought tears to my eyes and it was comforting to see you having a similar reaction. ty for sharing this reaction video. was beautiful.

My art teacher 20 years ago saed to me: "Draw only what you can see." You can't fake reality. That's why this song is so powerful. And great in every way.

Tool songs are an emotional rollercoaster....

You are not human if you don't have some type of connection to these songs. It was a perfect reaction and completely understandable.

Jim, it's the perfect reaction. The beauty of the song is it's true.. it's music in it's truest form. It wasn't made to appeal to a mass audience or to be catchy.. it's just heartfelt and honest and your reaction was equally true to those things. I remember when the album came out.. I was 17 years old and listening to it in the living room of my parent's house in the middle of the night and I remember the sweeping guitars panning from left to right and just going on a very intimate and personal journey for this song. I always come back to that moment when I listen to it. If I may, please check out Disposition/Reflection/Triad. It's in my opinion their magnum opus and when Tool was at their creative zenith. Hope all is well, cheers!

Paw passed at 89 last year and this song alone helped me get through. As he'd of said; I sorted it out.

I enjoyed this song musically for years, but then my mom passed away and I finally understood the underlying pain contained in that music. It's so powerful, what a masterpiece.

I wasn't able to listen this song when my grandmother died. It took me a lot of time could listen it again. I already started to listen it and I cry

Well said. Great insight into a song that evokes emotion when you aren't expecting it. Tears every time for me. The music is haunting to me even after so many times listening.

"High is the way but all eyes are upon the ground" that's the deepest,most powerful vocal line i've ever heard.It's fucking heartcrushing,the way he sings it

Ok... I'm going to say it .... THE PATIENT!!!!!! That's something you'll really love!!!

The quietest and most visceral tear infused reactions are the ones we LIVE FOR!! We all cry like babies listening to this alone. It shows true courage when you show your tears. Thank you.

I need to call my mother.

It’s that crescendo into “give me my, give me my wings!” I sob right there.

Perfect reaction.This song hits me so hard and can relate to so much of it watching my mom in the hospital under those cold fluorescents slowly die of cancer and nothing I could do.

I am a ball of emotions when I listen to these songs. Most underrated songs in the Tool catalog imo

Great reaction. you really were speechless 👍

I've heard this song tens of times, and still it brings me to tears when she's screaming "GIVE ME MY WINGS!". Brutal song, excellent reaction.

Wow! A video that is 3 months old, has just short of 11,500 views, and not a single dislike. Proof that your reaction was not missing a single thing. Well done, Sir. :)

you say its not a great reaction, but I think you do yourself an injustice. This song is very close to home for me, and I find your reaction so humble its beautiful mate.

Its so sad the the original video has been removed. It was such a beautiful video and i used to watch it all the time.

Oh my...I teard up. Need a Towel. But thanks for your Heart melting Reaction!🤗

We all need a hug, seriously! Cheers friend!🤙🤘

The bit that gets me (among others) is the 'this little light of mine, a gift you passed on to me' Perfect reaction to a beautiful & unexpected song

I love how adams guitar sounds like it’s crying at the end

This is my favourite song of all time. It’s not music. It is art. It is emotion. It IS the power of the heart put in words

Humbled and privileged , indeed. Well put.

I've known both these tracks for 17 years and I still cry my eyes out to this day. It's impossible not to feel anything

These songs always make me cry. You can really feel the love he feels for his mother.

This has to be my favorite tool song of all time. This is not a song you can just put on as background noise. This is something that requires thought. It’s true art. Watching others experience it for the first time is so amazing to me, it lets me relive when I got to hear these songs for the first time myself.

Coming back to this almost 2 years later; this might be the greatest reaction video on all of youtube.

Lost my Mum last November and this brings me to tears every time.So atmospheric and emotional

honestly I get a bit teary-eyed every time I hear this song. I love the song but it gets me in the feels every time no matter what.

If there ever was a tribute to Mothers all around the world, this would be it!

I don watch many reaction vids but I do try to watch all tool reaction vids... I always appreciate when someone gives an honest reaction. Thanks.

This video should have millions of views, i remember it every once in a while

This song makes me cry ALWAYS

I was lucky enough to catch the last tour Maynard said he would do these live. It was such an amazing experience. So much power and emotion. Maynard truly has the ability to channel soul into art

Jim, you could see just how uneasy listening to this was making you, sharing such an intimate moment with Maynard and his grief process. It also looked like you were fighting back tears for a majority of it, too. The cut between then end of the song, and the reaction, makes me think that you may have lost that fight, or spent a damn good while digesting the emotions that were invoked by these masterpieces.

Your eyes and face spoke volumes.

I saw you get the chills, close your eyes, and your heart soar. Brilliant and perfect reaction

Masterpiece is an understatement. After so many losses in my life, I can't listen to this without crying.

Cried my eyes out first time I heard it, 2nd and 3rd also.

I've seen 'yes' and 'all of them' given as answers to 'what time signature is this in?' Also, it actually *was* a great reaction video! Your failure to find words speaks volumes. They really are something else.

Jim, I found your reaction to be genuine, and that is whats important. I haven't listened to these songs collectively in a long time although I still regularly revisit Tool. But watching this reaction and seeing your sincerity towards the subject only further pushed my emotional response to the song and made me experience it again almost in a new light. This song is dense. I believe dense is the word. Emotionally provoking! Jim your channel is great! I have only recently discovered it. You are sincere and you have a great taste in music!

My eyes well up .... every....single....time....

I can't remember if you already discussed this in a previous video.. but Maynards mom was paralyzed when he was 11 (stroke or aneurysm). She lived in that paralyzed state for 27 years, roughly 10,000 days.

544 likes and 0 dislikes. That speaks volumes about this song and his reaction to it.

You seemed rather rattled during and after the song, I hope you are doing ok Jim. Tool's music has a way of cutting right through our protective barriers.

U gotta love the high n low tones off mjks vocals.....it’s a better world with tool in it...

It's a tear-jerker, that's for sure. Every single time I listen to it within about 30 seconds, my emotions get the better of me. And this is coming from a person who rarely gets that emotional. I think it's due to the fact that it's so relatable. Whether you've lost your mother or knowing one day that you will, it's a bond like no other everyone dreads losing...

I lost my mom 2 years before this album came out. It still makes me cry every time I hear it.

It truly is a masterpiece

12:14 reaction is spot on. Is it just me or did you turn red after that It's time now. Give me my wings....

I’ve been listening to TOOL sine ‘06 and I’ve loved their music ever since👍🏾. I didn’t think I’d be listening to them more but, after seeing all of these reaction vids I understand because my reactions were the same!✌🏾

18:14 is literally what I look like when this song ends...face somber..stroking my beard..contemplating how I have treated my mother. Absolutely beautiful reaction Jim, PLEASE keep them coming.

Grief makes you think and do things you would not normally have thought or done. I get the reason for these songs. And, though they are gorgeous pieces of work that bring you on Judith Marie's journey, if they never perform them again, that would be okay too. There is no wrong reaction to these works, just as in grief. And for the whole band to agree to help him through it with their musical gifts was incredible. Thanks for this. Truly.

This was a great reaction Jim, don't feel bad about it. You said in two minutes some of the most insightful thoughts I've heard on any reaction to Tool. Fucking cheers again man!

this song actually brings me to tears now...knowing what its about.

This is the best song (or two songs) of all time in my opinion.

genuine reaction that's why i watch jim nothing false or contrived just genuine

Every time I listen to this song it genuinely leaves me a blubbering wreck...you can feel every ounce of mjk’s emotion that he poured into it....a song as crushing as it is beautiful...the lives that Judith has saved through her sons music alone will never be fully accounted for...rest beautiful lady..!!!

I think what you couldn't say about the songs speaks as much as what you could. I am glad I got to see you experience this and relive the emotional journey with you. Ultimately I think that is why these songs exist, as a way for listeners to share that journey and bear the beauty and sadness of losing a life together. Thank you Jim.

this song always gives goosebumps.

Fantastic reaction. ♥️ This is my FAVORITE Tool song(s)… and that’s saying something cuz they simply do not have a bad song. But Wings is different, as you said. It allows you to feel every aspect, every layer, of loss. The grief, the despair, the rage at it all. Every emotion individually and all at once. Every time I hear it, I thank the universe that Maynard decided to write it, record it and share it with us. Like you said, we are privileged to listen to it. That’s exactly how I feel. Truly, truly one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written. Of any genre. A haunting and personal requiem that is absolutely unmatched.

I've heard these songs no less than 100 times and I cry each time
