TOOL- Reflection 9.20.2001

[@kreep182]

I love everything about this particular period in Tool's career. The stage setup, the atmosphere, the songs off of lateralus.... everything was just perfect.

[@101TheShape]

the last stage before you accept/understand your own decay and death on a fundermetal level, one last rearing up. Your late 30s early 40s fuck you up... a good catalyst for art. just my opnion on what the drive behind lateralus was ;D

This song is just the pinnacle of human musical expression. It's beauty and power is literally spine-tingling every single time I listen to it build and build. In 25 years when Tool is long gone and no more, there will be a real sense of privilege within the lucky few who were able to experience this piece being performed live in person.

[@divinelyshpongled]

+danutd94 totally agree man... i saw this in sydney in around 2002 and it was such an incredible experience... and the start of the show bursting out with the grudge... that'll be in my dreams for the rest of my life. thank u Tool for existing among all the crap music out there, and for showing the rest of them how its done.

I have come curiously close to the end, though Beneath my self-indulgent pitiful hole, Defeated, I concede and Move closer I may find comfort here I may find peace within the emptiness How pitiful It's calling me (calling me) It's calling me (calling me) It's calling me (calling me) It's calling me... And in my darkest moment, feeble and weeping The moon tells me a secret - a confidant As full and bright as I am This light is not my own and A million light reflections pass over me Its source is bright and endless She resuscitates the hopeless Without her, we are lifeless satellites drifting And as I pull my head out I am without one doubt Don't wanna be down here soothing my narcissism away. I must crucify the ego before it's far too late I pray the light lifts me out Before I pine away Before I pine away Before I pine away (pine away) Before I pine away... So crucify the ego, before it's far too late And leave behind this place so negative and blind and cynical, And you will come to find that we are all one mind Capable of all that's imagined and all conceivable. And let the light touch you So that the words spill through And let them pass right through Bringing out our hope and reason... Before we pine away (pine away) Before we pine away (pine away) Before we pine away (pine away) Before we pine away.

[@nickmokrzewski]

Cobalt Falcon he can always just sing falsetto or an octave lower

[@jonathandedman3512]

+Nick Mokrzewski but that probably means they have to tune lower . which means the bass would be lower, guitars lower, drums lower. totally different sound. lower doesn't mean heavier. I mean lamb of god plays in drop D as well

[@peepeepoo3432]

+Jonathan dedman Nope it doesn't, tuning can stay the same, singing an octave lower doesn't mean retuning every instrument, the scale the singer is singing on is exactly the same. Point is it would be impossible, if you think just about the first verse an octave lower it would be extremely difficult to sing for maynard

[@jonathandedman3512]

such a fun song to play on bass

[@albundie3]

+Jonathan dedman and on guitar, and drums, it's just fun. best song they've ever written. also in the world. no rebutel required

[@kreep182]

Jonathan dedman but doesnt it require 2 bass quitars? i am not really sure but i think that amazing riff thats being played throughout most of the song is actually 2 basslines. i am not so sure though.

[@JingTheChickenWing]

Mohammed Kortam incorrect. it is played on one bass. I don't believe any Tool songs use two basses at once. (unless they've done it live?) This song is relatively easy with one bass, so I don't see a need for two

[@planet9938]

@@JingTheChickenWing this song actually does have 2 bass tracks but you're right the main riff is just the one while Maynard does atmospheric Stuff on the other.

Such beauty provides much needed balance in a world with so much negativity. Such raw emotional power being channeled from those men on that stage.

[@endlessdesert3122]

Because of their popularity I was annoyed by tool. I actually bought this album. Listened to it a few times. Liked it but it never stuck. But this song and mainly this bass riff had played in my head now and then. Just recently I decided to find this song though I didn't know the name. It's actually been 15 years since I decided to actually play something by tool. Life has its stages and their is something I remembered about the way this song made me feel that I can use to cope at the current moment. I listened to this song on repeat the other day at work for maybe 6 hours. I cannot stop listening to it. It's incredible. What a masterpiece. Everything about it is beyond what any normal person could fathom. Well anyway I decided to check out fear inoculum. I was most certainly in for a surprise. My journey has just begun
