he wasnt patient enough, this is my favorite tool song, then rosetta stoned. The Patient isnt simple its actually very detailed, especially the intro before the lyrics start... the music is representing time and if you listen closely to the intro the music morphs itself. and the way Danney Carey lets his symbols ring sends a pulse of energy.

[@weylinlasure4600]

There are plenty of ways to hear the song out. This video is specifically to let him show his reactions to various pieces of the song then as a whole

[@tsho6131]

I think The Patient is Maynard’s mom. This is from Lateralus, which came out in 2001 and she had been paralyzed for years at this point. Imagine sitting next to your paralyzed family member, trying to keep them company and showing them love, but how the tedium would really get to you after 20+ years. Despite that, his mom keeps the faith and in some way inspires him to do the same, against his own judgment.

[@tsho6131]

I actually checked the comments, expecting someone to call it out, but after scrolling down for awhile and seeing nobody bring it up, I figured I’d chime in. As with all music and art, it’s not necessarily essential to know what the artist intended, as much as it is to be able to draw some kind of personal meaning from the piece. But, in this case, so much of Maynard’s writing became influenced by his relationship to his mother, and I think it adds a lot of depth and nuance to many of Tool’s songs, if you know the background information.

[@markitzero4777]

The patient is him. Its about his issues with the band and all the lawsuits they had been facing as well as his struggles having to wait so long to make another tool album. "If there were no desire to heal the damaged and broken met along, (his listeners) this tedious path ive chosen here (playing with tool) i certainly would've walked away by now. Just my opinion and thoughts.

[@ZCamp929]

Probably top-3 Tool song. Lyrics, melody... all of it. Just an unreal song.

[@friskyjesus]

Lyrically, it’s not the most thorough Tool song. It’s the message behind it that carries through, and it is by any stretch, my favorite. As a long time sufferer of depression, I relate to this song on an emotional level and it is very close to my heart. Two lines stand out... “If there were no reward to reap, no loving embrace to see me through.” And... “Must keep reminding myself of this.” Those two lines can make the difference when you feel like you’re at rock bottom. It’s a reminder that, this too shall pass. The old saying goes that patience is a virtue. It’s also a lifesaver. Even in your darkest times, there are ALWAYS greater things just over the horizon. You just have to be patient...

[@_bats_]

You know what's crazy, dude, I've listened to and loved this song since Lateralus came out, but Tool albums are never published with printed lyrics. I had this ritual back in the day where I'd get a new CD, put on the headphones, lay in bed, and just listen to the whole album all the way through following along with the lyrics, but I never could do that with Tool. I came to appreciate the instrumentals and how the vocals acted as an instrument, and read so much about how Tool lyrics are up for interpretation (hence why they're not officially published), so you watching this video right now and reacting to both the music and the lyrics is like uncovering a whole new layer of meaning and depth and quality to this track (and other Tool tracks you've reacted to). I honestly really appreciate what you're doing because you're helping people like me get even more enjoyment out of some old favorites. Thanks man!

[@niceguyjayson]

The simplest things whether it be a musical production like this one or a smile given to you by a stranger walking by noticing you are having a bad day can have the most profound effect on you. Yes, this may not be the depth of complexity that Tool can bring, but the message is driven home very well. Preston, thank you for the intro change! Props on THAT production! As you will say, "now, we may proceed". Keep of up the reactions!

Every Tool song you do you always listen to the last second, but today I noticed you cut it off when he had a couple small lines left. You need more... patience. If that joke doesn’t disqualify me from making requests, I’ll add those now. Tool - Opiate (a bit explicit) Opeth - The Drapery Falls Pink Floyd - Any track from Piper at the Gates of Dawn. I can’t pick just one. Animals as Leaders - Tooth and Claw Also, I dig the new intro.

[@KamikazeSeatbelt]

Preston, I'm an old school rocker, have kids that are most likely a good bit older than you. I enjoy watching your reactions and journey exposing yourself to new music. Since you love "details", I'd like to make a few suggestions. I'll list the band name and song, and I think you'll thank me for them if you happen to react to them. For details, another band right up there in my opinion with Pink Floyd and Tool is a band by the name " Porcupine Tree", listen to Arriving Somewhere, But Not Here. I think you'll like them. For Black Label Society, try listening to Concrete Jungle or Sold My Sole which is off of Zak's solo album. For Pure Guitar Instrumental Pleasure... Joe Satriani - Surfing with the Alien. studio version, or Andy Timmons - "Cry For You"...you'll thank me!...Peace!

[@iasimp1997]

I second your recommendation for "Arriving Somewhere but Not Here"

[@Bramble451]

Dang! I had forgotten all about Satriani! I listened to him in college. Personally I'd rather Preston listened to really old Clapton stuff rather than Satriani. Satriani's playing is more about technical capability than the music. And when he did sing his voice was never very strong. And Preston's only listened to a couple recent live Clapton performances, one of which most of the playing was done by somebody with a synthesizer that sounds like a guitar rather than Clapton himself. I think he'd like classic Clapton.

[@KamikazeSeatbelt]

Clapton is without a doubt, a legend in the blues world, and I believe he has actually reviewed 1 or 2 of his songs. I recommended Satriani as it's not something that he usually would listen too, and thought it might spark an interest in him to venture out into some guitar instrumentals

Undertow in my opinion is tool sober . No pun intended on the song in the album being titled, sober coincidentally and about not being able to stay sober lol. But lateraluls , their best album , they clearly were inspired by being on lsd and mushrooms. I'm not guess I know that cause maynard has said that him self , but now that grown and done all that stuff before , I now see it very clearly . People think shrooms and LSD are just drugs and they just make you crazy. Absolutely not true at all. We all are on using about 10 percent of our brain. When you do one of those two drugs , it expands your brain and you are using parts never used before, having thoughts you never had before. It brings new ideas out. This album is proof.
