[@SamuelHopeOfficial]

Hey everyone! Just wanted to say thanks to Brass Against for inviting me to join for this project. I’ve been a dedicated fan of Tool for over 20 years and also recently become a huge fan of Brass Against. Was a real pleasure and honor to work with such impressive professionals and to get the chance to channel my inner Maynard. It’s not often I can let it out a metal scream, but damn, it felt great. This meant so much to me. What an experience. 🙌🤘

[@hadair407]

Thanks for delivering such a brilliant performance Samuel, highly enjoyable for the dedicated fans of Tool and brass against to see your interpretation, would love to see more of your covers in the future! I wish you a happy and healthy 2019 and hopefully you will have some more Tool material to sink into in that year. Spiral out 🌀

[@SamuelHopeOfficial]

Harry Adair hey thanks for the kind words Harry! Definitely eager to do some more also! Stay tuned!

I was so over the moon about Sophia when she did the Pot. I see this one with you in it and sadly did not give it a chance, until. You are every bit as good and it shows how much of a fan you are. My wish list is Jambi, or H. with you on vocals. Great job, Mr. Hope. I am now a fan.

[@collinspears9861]

In my intro to psych class, we were asked if we believed in the death penalty. The professor tasked us with writing a position paper on the subject, which caused me to undergo a personal crisis. Did I truly believe that the State's taking of a person's life could ever be justified? I wrote enough of a response to pass the class, but that question has stayed with me ever since. In fact, it stayed with me right up until the 9:38 second mark of this video, at which point the music was disrupted by a youtube ad for car insurance. I now know the answer to the question that has plagued me, and recognize that there are some things that even a lifetime in prison can't atone for. Natural justice must be pursued.

[@alexbetrozov8442]

drummer is perfect, like vocalist and every other man of this band :) Its one of the best track that i ever heard. Sounds just amazing

[@wesleyhitchcock4414]

Yes. Spot on my friend Danny Carey is the reason i started playing drums along with Mike Portnoy's work with Dream Theatre. So those two drummers along with Blake Richardson and Larnel Lewis i get all the workout i can handle. I am 66 now and it wears me out but worth the pain🤣 i don't know what Danny may think but i am guessing he likes it! My friends who i play with goung back decades always ask me why i started to learn with pieces so difficult. I just smiled and muttered to myself "what a bunch of pussies"🤣😂🤣

[@torvisaid4433]

I didnt like his performance that much, but I dont blame him, trying do play Danny songs is a hell of a task

[@BazzillioBJ]

he is good, and yet, you can see that he struggles a lot in a section where he starts playing against the band (aprx 6:00). BUT it was Dany who made his part really hard to play/copy.

[@instruMENTAL183]

I can see he's a good drummer, but every time I watch one of these, I notice he isn't playing what I'm hearing. Like hearing a totally different fill, crashing symbols or just more drums to what he's playing

[@MalcolmAkner]

Whenever I've been asked "what's your favorite all time song?" Lateralus by Tool has always been my answer, hands down. I've listened to that song more than I can even imagine, Maynard has been my biggest inspiration in my love of singing, I know that voice so intimately. To hear, and almost as importantly see, Samuel Hope absolutely nail it was breathtaking. Every movement with his body perfectly matches what he's doing with his voice and what he's expressing, it's just one thing, so rare to see.

In addition, I'd like to dedicate a compliment to Samual Hope too. I can see that you're a huge Tool's fan by the way you sing, and I love your body language through out the song. It's obvious that you 'feel' what you sing. Great job to both Mr. Hope and Brass Against. Hands down. 🙌

[@bumie_el]

Samuel Hope’s voice felt perfect for this cover. It’s so smooth and controlled, yet his body moved along so fluidly. If his body was getting into it, that makes for an amazing emotion in the voice and I admire that. The vocals in this one are almost monotone, very chanting like, and for some people that’s as hard to maintain as high range vocals, but he nailed it. I can’t wait for another cover!

[@robplant899]

What are you going on about!? The vocals are monotone but he has amazing emotion in his voice, pretty sure those are mutually exclusive. Next time just write "i'm really deep about music"

Bruh! I can’t even with you right now. Never have I been more excited about a tool cover. Except for that other time you guys did a tool cover.

[@RyanMurray]

Whoever mixed this is a badass. And props to that drummer adapting this to a jazz kit.

[@Fluroenduro]

[@NoButIDoHaveHerpes]

Shaun Gibbs Oh good I was wondering when you'd get here

[@EVSGirl87]

I would LOVE to see the reaction of the Tool members seeing this piece for the first time! It send shivers down my spine!

[@edijskocins1271]

Right? For both this and Pot. Because this is quality stuff right there.

[@o.g.punkrocker4842]

Gave me chills, and that doesn't happen too often. Dynamically nailed, and the vocalist got the essence of this song

LYRICS Black then white are all I see in my infancy Red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me Lets me see As below so above and beyond, I imagine Drawn beyond the lines of reason Push the envelope, watch it bend Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind Withering my intuition, missing opportunities and I must Feed my will to feel my moment, drawing way outside the lines Black then white are all I see in my infancy Red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me Lets me see There is so much more And beckons me to look through to these infinite possibilities As below so above and beyond, I imagine Drawn outside the lines of reason Push the envelope, watch it bend Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind Withering my intuition leaving opportunities behind Feed my will to feel this moment Urging me to cross the line Reaching out to embrace the random Reaching out to embrace whatever may come I embrace my desire to I embrace my desire to Feel the rhythm, to feel connected Enough to step aside and weep like a widow To feel inspired To fathom the power To witness the beauty To bathe in the fountain To swing on the spiral To swing on the spiral to Swing on the spiral Of our divinity And still be a human With my feet upon the ground I lose myself Between the sounds and open wide to suck it in I feel it move across my skin I'm reaching up and reaching out I'm reaching for the random or whatever will bewilder me Whatever will bewilder me And following our will and wind we may just go where no one's been We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no one's been Spiral out, keep going Spiral out, keep going Spiral out, keep going Spiral out, keep going
