**Answering why Wings is in 2 parts ** {{Scroll to °°° for answer }} (I'm putting this here in hopes it doesn't get lost in the sandbox of comments, b/c I didn't see the answer in my scrolling, but it's also a comma worth, so it may have been in there. If not, & you didn't already have this information, then woo hoo, & I would love to see your reaction for it if you can find it or build it. °°°°° 10,000 Days has a 12th track. It's a "Voltron" track that is comprised of: -Viginti Tres -Wings pt1 -Wings pt2 If you stack them, & sync them correctly, they become another song. (You actually pointed out specific similarities AND contrasts between the two parts individually, that are there because they are kind of a single song). :-)

It's a reference to purgatory. One can suffer on earth for the expiration of sins, to shorten the time spent in purgatory. Was wondering if anyone else picked up on that line.

@gregorypugh9780 2 года назад

the slow diliberate beginning is a heart beat. The first flurish is that tense moment she expires. Pause. The song starts with the circular, repeating riff (confusion). He's then talking to himself. Watch the emotional changes in the music as he passes through them in his own head. I'm truly shocked that not one of the people doing reactions to the song mention that. It's why the song is so impactful.

@Portabella1 2 года назад

I was always so moved by the specific choice of "FETCH me the spirit, the son, and the father". It's like he's doing is best to reconcile her belief vs what he sees and believes. He's saying, "You did what you were supposed to, you believed so hard and with such vigor, even after being paralyzed by the God who supposedly loves you. So when you get to heaven, you kick those doors down and demand your reward, because God himself should be in awe of the depths of your devotion." Absolutely what a person outside of a faith, but who loved a person of faith deeply, would say to losing them. Tears me up every time.

@WindowLickingDeer 2 года назад

@creamnwheat 2 года назад

I've often told people that the most beautiful part of this song as a tribute was that the entire framework of it stepped outside of his norm, and into hers. The entire song is put into that context that is under the jurisdiction of 'the martyr'...which is what she devoted her life to. The entire tone of the song is him stepping over the line and into her world, to speak the words he wants to say but translated into her language. I've always felt the same as you. "Go with pride, you are worthy of looking the Creator in the eye, and He should be proud to receive you."

@Dremin2009 3 года назад

@@TheCharismaticVoice I was lucky and heard these live when they did the 10,000 days tour, but I read somewhere that they don't play it anymore because Maynard finds it too emotional and difficult. At the concert I was at he kept asking people not to take any flash photography (back when non-phone cameras were still a thing) right before starting these 2 songs. He kept saying over and over "no flash photography please" Everyone on the floor was holding up lighters also, I think the lights were distracting to him and he really didn't want to mess up the song. It probably takes him being in the right emotional headspace to perform it, you can't just bang this one out.

@bennyharderguitar 3 года назад

@JaredJonesAZ 3 года назад

My theory of why this song is split into two is the first half Is he standing over his mother saying goodbye (you hear the coffin shut at the end of part one) and in the second half he turns to the congregation to address them

I've never thought about it in this context, but very much pieces together well. Nice analogy 👍

I’m pretty sure she’s missing something when it comes to the vocal and musical changes happening together… as I understand it, Danny Carey, Justin Chancellor and Adam Jones make all of the instrumentals, then Maynard comes in to add vocals, and the adjust from there.

@JHulse29 3 года назад

For all Maynard's criticism of religion and Christianity especially, its really touching here how he brings it in out of love for his mother. Like he's saying "ok, if you're real you better recognize my mom is a true true believer"

Coming to this comment almost a year late, but condolences on your mother's passing. Having lost both my parents, I know these "anniversaries" can be tough. Stay strong. The head of my department where I work is also a really good friend from High School. When my mom passed, my co-workers all signed a card for me. My buddy, being a fellow Tool fan, included some lyrics from this song. 8 yrs later, the memory of reading those lyrics still brings tears to my eyes.

"Judith" by his side project, A Perfect Circle, offers another, more angry view on his mother's unwavering faith. Worth a listen and a reaction.

@SeanCC 2 года назад

Was going to suggest this. I used to think of Perfect Circle as "Tool Lite" but I've given them more of a fair shake in recent years and like them for how they're different more than focus on how they're similar but not the same.

@krxx5389 2 года назад

And the patient

@yabo1 2 года назад

Well, it's more than that. He's an atheist. A very strong atheist. She's had this faith despite all life has thrown at her and "Judith" is his rebuke of that faith. This song, many years later, after she's died is the catharsis of him accepting her faith as hers and simply wishing her unconditional love and hoping that she finds all she's held on to rather than the oblivion he expects. That full circle makes this song truly touching.

His mother had a stroke and was paralyzed when he was 11, the song Jimmy is about him growing up while seeing her deal with her tribulations. she lived 10,000 days or about 27 years before her before passing. Maynard would of been 38 at the time. She did not like the subjects his music approached being a very devout Christian but from my understanding she attended a lot of their early concerts. She remained a steadfast Christian despite her church’s congregation judging her. They believed God was punishing her for some sin, that’s what he was referring to the “Collective Judas” aka hypocritical believers. Maynard didn’t keep to her beliefs growing up but respected them hence the religious imagery he uses. RIP Judith Marie Keenan We thank you for your sacrifice and for all you have done to bring up Maynard. For you have touched all of our lived even through we have never met you.

The line that always gets me is: "Fetch me the Spirit, the Son, and the Father, tell them your pillar of faith has ascended. It's time now, my time now, give me my, give me my wings." The juxtaposition of how arrogant that sentiment seems compared to how faithful and humble Maynard believes his mother to be...you can tell he thought this was the only proper way for her to enter heaven, for her to DEMAND it. and listening to the song you totally believe the Spirit, the Son, and the Father believe it too. Edit: I wrote this before you got to that part but obviously it got to you too. How could it not?

@jedinxf7 3 года назад

same, man. done right the trope of the man who dares to demand of God what is his right always hits hard. Ever watch The West Wing? there's an episode, I think it's "The Two Cathedrals," that evokes a similar reaction, to both the presumptuousness and the emotional torment underlying a character's temporary loss of perspective. (Job is to some extent the archetype for this, if biblical literature is your thing.) but it's extra poignant when it's not the suffering servant in a moment of bitterness, but her outraged son on her behalf. in this song it's not blasphemy (like in Judith), it's just that his faith in her is absolute

I can't imagine how physically and emotionally demanding it must have been for Maynard to write and share these two pieces. And though he has since signalled regret in sharing something so personal, I for one am forever grateful to Tool for gifting us with this masterpiece. On a less intense note, you mentioned in 10,000 days a 'bowing' or 'synthesised' sound. This is actually Adam using volume swells as he either hammers on or plucks a note, then brings the sound in with a foot pedal. Volume adjustments are a signature of his playing style as he subtly controls the amount of break up or distortion from his amp. Keep up your great analysis work - it's very engaging and insightful.

Meanwhile, the screens and the stage itself displayed billowing clouds. It was incredible.

@infernalsymphonytv2928 3 года назад

Not sure if anyone else has pointed this out yet, but the very first sounds of a pad that open up the first track are reminiscent of a church bell or funeral March. Setting the mood from the very first sound. Also, not sure if you caught the meaning of some of the lyrics, but to me there are definitely portions which voice Maynard's anger and frustration, but also he seems to be unsure of whether he is worthy of his mom, but also of whether God is worthy of her as well, if he were to exist. The line 'should you see your makers face tonight, look him in the eye, look him in the eye and tell him' to me suggests that Judith was such a wonderful and perfect person that she at least was God's equal. Furthermore, the more you listen, the more the audio tells a wordless story. Wings for Marie, the very fast guitar picking in the into slowly grinding to a halt, as well as the very last noise that rattles and continues after that song has finished (perhaps a sample of one of the bass strings rattling) could be referencing the death rattle that people make when they take their last breath? Right at the very end of the song too. Then the beginning of 10,000 days starts, and you can almost picture it. You can almost see the thoughts swirling round Maynard's head when he heard the news that she had passed. Guilt, confusion, relief, anger, sadness, turmoil. It's all contained within the song. The thunder and lightning, of course suggesting that things are at their darkest point, but also evokes images of standing at the graveside as the casket is lowered during a miserable rainy funeral. Those feelings of loss and Emptiness and hopelessness. Followed by brief glimmers of hope immediately shot down by the familiar overwhelming sense of crushing Despair. Another note - the line 'Daylight beams with cold fluorescence' To me, cold fluorescent light reminds me of hospitals, morgues, and the like. Clinical environments. 'Please forgive this bold suggestion'. It's almost as if he's talking to his mother from beyond the grave. Absolutely haunting and an absolute masterpiece, it gets better and more emotional with every listen. Thanks for the video!

Part one: She was alive. That was the goodbye. Part two: She was gone. That was the reflection. A total break in his life. The before, and the after. That was that bang at the end of Wings, part one. That was the moment he was without her. He is quite the story teller. He invited you into the room, beside her bed with her. "Difficult to see you in this light". Hospital lighting. "What am I to say to these ghouls tonight?" - Her congregation was there. He resented them, but believed in her.

@danielmcnamar Год назад

"Difficult to see you in this light" is literally florescent hospital lighting and figuratively seeing her in that state just before death. "Beaten, broken..." I always interpreted "what am I to say to these ghouls tonight" as trying to hold his tongue when he has to tell the rest of the family (who it seems he sees as people just paying lip service or using her tragedy to get attention or possibly just waiting to see what they would inherit from her) that she finally passed. Part II dives deeper. Part II has lyrics that imply he's delivering her eulogy and trying to hold his composure and not call out fake relatives because he didn't want to dishonor her

I’ve always felt that the fast distorted riff in Part 1 is the moment of death. I’ve lost a lot of friends, some even right I’m front of me, especially in the military. When that last breath subsides and everything they are, were, and everything they’ll ever be is over, I feel that fast distorted rush of my brain trying to fill that void with all the memories. Like there’s a piece missing and if I just force all the moments into the front of my brain, to see them again, then they aren’t truly gone because their memory is right there in front of me. Ironically I’ve never made it through Part 2, once the casket closes at the end of Part 1 I just put down the headphones and do something else. I’ve been working through therapy to get to that “Part 2” of my grief. One day I’ll finish that song, can’t thank Tool enough for perfectly expressing the way I feel on so many subjects ✌🏼🌀

@The Charismatic Voice, the song is divided in two parts because they represents two different kind of ancient greek's lyrics. In both songs there are a lot of lyrical references to "omero" type lyrics, like Iliad and Odissey. The first song can be compared to Odissey which is a particular epic poem called "nostos"; it's a lyric that talks about the hero coming back home. The second part, is the classical epic poem; "Listen to the tales and romanticize How we follow the path of the hero" is a reference of the typical formula which was used when epic poem were exposed and handed down orally.

@saiyalud7951 3 года назад

The second song is more directed at the anger he holds with the small town baptist congregation at the church that his mother attended. He saw a lot of hypocrisy in their attitudes and actions. There are always multiple meanings per line with Maynard and the “hero’s journey” was Jesus. He felt his mother was the only one who truly heard the story and followed its lessons. The rest of the congregation were just superficially making their own translations in their heads.

@Eloquence00 3 года назад

@@radbarij Could be all of the above. Tool as a whole is a concept band. They use music as paint to create a picture and they include all sorts of references that inspired such a painting. Maynard's emotional depth was what made the song a tribute to his mother, not necessarily the lyrics. The technical musicality of the piece is reminiscent of change and evolution. The lyrics are like an old heroes tale and their religious nature makes them akin to ascension. We could read a lot into the song, even assigning symbolism that wasn't intended, because Tool have used such symbolism in the past for other songs or albums. Instead, personally I just like to take what they say a song is about at face value.

Very good reaction. Having read Maynard's book I'll provide some info and my personal take on the songs. Maynard's mother was partially paralysed. She had trouble walking, talking and pretty much doing anything. She suffered an aneurism followed by several smaller strokes when he was only 11. Two years later he went to live with his dad, a move that Maynard said, 'was the best thing that ever happened to him'. This is likely the reference to 'probably saved a life'. Maynard spoke to her frequently (weekly I think) and she even made it to a Tool concert. She wasn't a fan of the music but was proud of her son. She got worse over time. (this information is taken from the book) First song, Wings for Marie, Maynard is at his mother's wake/funeral. The 'ghouls' are the church congregation probably 'praying for her'. Sound between songs - coffin closing (that boom with clicking sounds) Second song, 10,000 Days, I think is Maynard's reflection of his mother as he sits by her side at the hospital. Maynard berates her church congregation, basically saying that his mother is the dictionary version of a 'True Christian' and her congregation should have been praising her instead of saying she was punished by god. He heard people say this about her when she had her aneurism. He didn't have a high opinion of them or god after that. As you mentioned the song is full of religious references. Of course there is his praise for her here as well. The only thing I know for sure is that she was on oxygen at the hospital according to his book. (that's the woosh woosh sound you heard at the beginning and end, not wings) Some say they turned off the machine, I don't know. This song ends with her dying hence why the oxygen sound is still going before being turned off. Judith's ashes are spread in the wine orchard that has the grapes that make the wine that bears her name. Maynard saw this is a way of rebirth. Maynard isn't religious but has more of a spiritual belief system. Something he says he doesn't take too seriously either. The typical songs to what people refer to as the Maynard's Mom Saga is - Jimmy (Maynard's real name), Judith, Wings for Marie, 10,000 Days. People state other songs belong in this, I don't know for sure. I sometimes think Maynard doesn't like people constantly thinking all the songs are about his mother and him. Lastly, there is a video on RU-vid of them performing this song live. It's one of the few songs where Maynard has an instrument, a synthesiser I believe. 10,000 Days was not a popular album when it was released and lots of people didn't like these songs. If you find the live version you'll appreciate the complexity of the song more but you'll also notice a lack of intertest in the crowd as well.

I believe that silence was in respect as the tool fans in attendence knew what 10,000 meant to him. I've heard stories first hand of some of those performances and he apparently asked people to be quiet and experience it.

My daughter and I went to the shows in Reno and Oakland for this tour. We knew the story of Maynard's mother so when they played these two songs at one of the shows, we sat back and quietly enjoyed. Most people did the same. However, I can attest that there were several people who weren't at all respectful. There was yelling...and someone even threw something on stage. At one point, Maynard walked. It took several minutes before he came back. I felt truly horrible for him. Personally, I didn't understand the lack of interest. I found it quite an honor that this typically very private person was willing to put himself out there and include us. I couldn't believe those people could be so insensitive. I know it's a concert but it's TOOL! Very cerebral. My daughter (13 at the time) said that, maybe, stupid people shouldn't be listening to Tool. :)

Random tidbit about this happening at age 11, you should read the lyrics from Jimmy. 'One and one are one, eleven so glow child' 'eleven and she was gone' all these lyrics harken back to the one event.

That "Daylight dims" line hits like a steel-toed boot to the diaphragm every single time

There's not many songs that can bring me to tears but this one does, his love for his mother flows through this song and it's so real and unrestricted.

First Geebz and now you. Well, I’m already gearing up to cry again.

Your reaction to hearing this is 100% the expected reaction… I’ve been a Tool fan since the early 1990s, and listening to this song since 2006. I still got choked up when I hear it, and my mother is still alive… I can’t even imagine the first time hearing it after she passes. Thank you for this incredible and heartfelt video.

Soooo I'm crying at work listening to this breakdown. I knew what the song was about but never really put my thought in to the story, so this really put the whole song(s) to another level. Thank you. And a huge thank you to Maynard for this gift of a song ❤️
