Song reaction- Tool - Pneuma

[@joshreed7102]

Now that I’ve listened to each song at least a hundred times I’m still blown away by Descending.

[@georgebrice5789]

Best song on the album, hands down. Can’t wait for her reaction to it

[@PongGod]

I'm blown away by both Pneuma and Descending. Quite possibly my two favorite songs EVER.

[@martyanthony3419]

As am I...

[@darinzaruba3996]

YES!!! THIS!!! Best guitar solo(s) I have ever heard. around 6:26. The technique and rise and falls and dissonance is out of this universe.

[@lukelarsson]

I’ve watched the live version so many times I think I remember every single move Danny makes. 🤣 I sometimes forget that there’s an album version.

[@Soljarag5]

Yup,I can picture everything danny is doing, even when I just listen to the audio

[@justinajuste1236]

Same 😂

[@feintcircles]

I was just about to comment this LOL.

[@redhotchilifan98]

I had always known of Tool but this was the song where everything clicked and I immediately became a fan the first time hearing this song is hard to describe its like one of the most hypnotic experiences

[@50NewEyes]

Welcome to the Tool army brother....spiral out

[@nickskrtic2788]

Same here. But it was the drum cam video that got me. I haven't listened to anything but tool since that day!

[@50NewEyes]

@@nickskrtic2788 tool brothers, once you go tool there’s no going back... there are still great songs and musicians out there but Tool is just next level.... one of if not the greatest band ever...and I don’t say that lightly as I’ve spent a lot of time (40+years) researching and listening to every type of music and tool almost displays all that with their ability. From Bach to Metallica the doors, pink Floyd led zep black sabbath not including all the tribal an eastern style drumming etc...lol......I love them but they aren’t perfect...but they are close.... Tool thank you for my personal journey with you....

[@michaeldinsen7641]

Greatest live band in history...I've attended 500+ shows...not 1 band even comes close

[@AreYouThereGodItsMePhil]

You're going to discover a lot of things about this album are different than any of their other albums. It's a culmination, or rather, a maturity if you will of their collective abilities all gathered into this album. Everything they have learned over their careers are right here laid before you.

[@Master-rz1xi]

A channel that reacts to Tool with intelligent and interesting commentary? 10/10 you have my sub

[@chrishexx3360]

The music is incredibly uplifting and euphoric. Maynard always uses his vocals well to compliment the song, he never wants to be front and centre of the group. The music on this album is so good that it doesn't need someone singing over the top of it through 10+ minute tracks.

[@josefelixdiaztorres1938]

greetings from Mexico , waiting for "Descending" ..............Wait it out Gonna wait it out Be patient..............

[@fan-i-am]

YES! You are correct! Maynards voice accompanied the drums. The drums are the star of this song! This is my favorite track from this album. I love the poly-rhythm buildup in the middle.

[@fast_mattw8059]

Great reaction and analysis as always 🤘🤘 so happy you chose to do the studio version first. Thats the only way to do it in my opinion. Now you can enjoy watching the drum cam video and see just how much goes into this song on the drums! Looking forward to it!!

[@garrettk7166]

Exactly! I don't think I would've enjoyed the song as much had I watched the live version first. Glad I listened to the studio version first. I definitely appreciate the studio version more after watching Danny's video.

[@izazoz9259]

I love that you don't pause & interrupt the flow of the music. THANK YOU!! I loved watching your spirit synch with the music 💯

[@PowderedToastMan420]

Initum you have to watch the drum cam for this song. The drumsticks in Danny's hands literally look like hummingbirds wings. 🤞✌

[@DonjiPicudo]

This is one of the best descriptions of something I have ever read :D

[@christoffsimply3179]

One of the most technically skilled bands I have ever heard. Like many fans of music, I love Bach and classical music where it is complicated and intricate. I love Jazz. Bluegrass. I love the guitar gods of the 70s and 80s. I love the best drummers to ever shine in various genres of music. Collectively the Tool crew constantly invents, performs and rises to a level that really blows me away album after album. Maybe not prolific but brilliant nonetheless. BTW, you are beautiful and eloquent yourself! Thanks for letting us listen to this song with you.

[@mmk7340]

Can't wait for you to see the Drum cam version of this song. Will give you a whole new perspective on it. It's been my favorite video on KZbin since it came out.

[@DCBabos]

Your comment at 15:58 is EXACTLY why you will appreciate the Drum Cam Video of this song! So epic, you'll appreciate the musicality of this song even more!

[@a.avcier3092]

Now that's what I call paying attention to the song not pausing unnecessary. I can see you were enjoying it🤟

[@bryannotbrian]

I really hope you listen to this track at least a couple more times, on your own time of course, before reacting to the drum-cam version. I guarantee that the more familiar you are with the studio version, the drum-cam version will become a most galvanizing, remarkable experience that opens your eyes into what actually went into the process of creating this track.

[@Pj_Oracle]

I feel the same way. The tabla pad sounds much better, more natural than on the studio master. There seem to be a few changes to some of the fills, more of the North Indian influence perhaps, not sure though, could just be because of differences in the mix balance, though..

[@shereeblalock4219]

Danny's drum cam to this song next.

[@Levi_Amongst_the_Watchers]

Yes it must be done. But I don't think they should do a break down on it because they already have here in this video. They should just watch and enjoy the marvel that is Danny Carey.

[@exar1806]

100% a whole new appreciation for the song

[@LanceThompsonKssooner]

By far the best song performance at the last concert i saw before COVID

[@mmk7340]

This.... the visuals that accompany the song in concert were pretty mindblowing too.

[@mrsusan893]

Same. This song was amazing live and so was 7empest.

[@LanceThompsonKssooner]

@@mrsusan893 they were still practicing Tempest when I saw them. That would have been great. 👍

[@GingerNinjaPlus]

Everybody lost their shit over pneuma, probably the biggest reaction out of any song that night. And likewise, didn't get to see 7empest as we were one of the first shows on the tour and it was 35+ Celcius at 9pm 😂 haha

[@garrettk7166]

My city's show was cancelled, unfortunately. I'm looking forward to them touring again post-Covid.

[@Soundtracks92]

[@BGaud]

I was at the Boston concert where they filmed that. That "Vic Firth" video had the best comment "I almost forgot to watch this today" LOL

[@heathcliff8624]

This album was recorded and mastered on 2-inch magnetic tape.

[@darinzaruba3996]

The next best thing to listening to TooL songs is watching new reactions of TooL songs. People experiencing it for the first time. Ohhhh for the first time again. But they just keep getting deeper and better.

[@monkeybrainstew7115]

This song totally blows me away, like no other song can do. Every piece and part of it is as close to perfect as humanely possible. The 1st song on Opiate has a hint of all Tool is in 1 3 min song. Pneuma is the pinnacle of that, imo. Every song on FI is great but, Pneuma is especially great, imo

[@xavierhenriques1116]

Fantastic as always Thank you both so much 🙏

[@riz6975]

Good choice, always listen to the studio first before watching it live. Love the vids and glad you're enjoying the experience that is Tool

[@cirotonino3186]

I can't wait for "invincible" by Tool its 💯

[@scottreps9167]

My favorite song on this album

[@PongGod]

Two things about this song seem really special to me. In the second verse they create perhaps the most soothing and hypnotic feeling I've ever experienced in a song. It's so cool. And secondly, the big transition in the middle of the song leads into the long, steady and most epic build-up. So beautiful and powerful at the same time. This track is a true masterpiece, IMO.

[@DCBabos]

This week will not go fast enough!! I can't wait until you react to Invincible! So many epic transitions, you're going to love it!

[@fudhater8592]

Looking forward to your reaction to the live version

[@bretthorton6377]

Can't wait for you to watch the drums. Enjoy your interpretations. Keep it up!

[@derfo2072]

I think the way Danny comes into this song is amazing...

[@claycrawford1431]

This song is musically outstanding. Wait until you see the live drum cam. You will see Danny Carey has 5 brains, one in his head and one in each limb. Truly incredible. Don’t just listen to the drum cam. YOU MUST WATCH IT to truly appreciate the drums.

[@christopherrousseau1173]

I've also heard Pneuma is the creative breathe. And yes this song is very good at building and being creative..

[@PixelPhobiac]

Keep, going, spiral out!

[@daniccrn]

Chills every time...blew me away live 🥰🤩❤

[@garrettgearhart6123]

Good analysis today. Pnuema aka ruach, Prana, chi, vril ,astral light ...... can’t wait for invincible it’s probably my favorite tool song since the album dropped.

[@christopherkynaston7559]

I love the very beginning saying so much with so little "We(all of us) are a(singular) spirit bound to this flesh.."

[@NubaNarmer]

The melody and rhythm were haunting

[@torinjatkins]

Danny Carrey is the best drummer I’ve ever heard and seen.

[@ragonktwelfthman1311]

TOOL woke up the lion in all of us. We must become Pnuema. The son be coming. Jesus or JFKjr? I wanna meet them both. Thanks TOOL for being the greatest tool in unlocking the Questions of the universe. I know the pieces fit, I found the lost keys in my shadow. There are no coincidences just connections. Gematria and sacred geometry tell the story. Thanks for being its voice.

[@jimpierce4204]

Very thoughtful reaction.

[@craigboyd542]

Others are saying it as well - but Danny,s drum cam version next - you will rediscover this track - and have your mind completely blown

[@PongGod]

OH YES! This is my jam!

[@aaroncole3941]

You guys are awesome. It just hit me that you're on the last album.😪 I hope you can expand to A perfect Circle and Puscifer!

[@briansimmons5363]

Emotionally exhausting to listen to this every time...

[@sopwithsnoopy8779]

After you run out of Tool songs, next band should be Soen. Soen kinda sounds like Tool-meets-Opeth (Soen's drummer played in Opeth during the 2000's)

[@milosvitin]

Sat Nam 🙏, in Sanskrit language breath is called String - String which binds material dimension with beyond. Body, and any other physical matter, cannot exist without its connection to beyond because its source is beyond. So everything breaths in its own designed way. We actually do not know at all what is breath, we just feel the sensation of air passing thru our respiratory organs so we think its breath, but in reality its much much more. Once the string is broken, body just collapses and you become disembodied, your perception rises manyfolds because 5 senses are not obscuring the reality anymore. BUT all the bodily tools which we were using thru the lifetime are gone, most notably discriminatory part of the mind, so what remain are tendencies and you continue to move by them. As majority of people are identified with their body for their whole human life time, initial tendency is to get back in it, but it is impossible as that body is not capable to sustain life anymore (in many cultures first thing what people do with dead bodies is bring together the legs, even tie up the big toes, as between the legs is the path where life wants to get back into the body). Most of the “enlightments” (seeing the reality as it really is) if someone is conscious enough happen in this moment. Conscious contact with other disembodied and divine beings becomes possible. So it is very important you increase your perception and open yourself to truth before string is broken, while you still have discriminatory part of mind (still be a human - Lateralus), otherwise risk of delusion is high and you can’t retain balanced connection with the source for long, you fall back away from source again and by tendencies reach out to available womb to be born again as human being. Time and again, game restarts. If accumulated karma is very bad (killers...), this process can be very suffering in its delusion (hell?) and you may be even incapable of reaching the human womb, so you fall further down. If accumulated karma is generally good, this process can be very pleasant (heaven?) but it is still delusion and in one moment you need to re-born. Fortunately nature designed several levels of screens, so we don't remember our previous human lives, otherwise our mental structure would collapse as most of the people do not have that mental strength to discriminate between many mixed memories. Unfortunately with some people these screens are not working, so there are medical records where people with split personality disorder had even up to 30 split personalities (30 lifetimes mixed?). DON'T RAISE YOUR PERCEPTION BY CHEMICALS, VERY IMPORTANT as by it you are skipping many necessary preparatory steps, and risk is high to collect bad karma, even if experience is pleasant it may lead to delusions and certainly addiction. Then how to raise our perception? - do it naturally, slowly, step by step, daily discipline, pay attention to life, include life, exclude psychological dramas, enjoy in silence, listen the music, enjoy in arts, eat healthy, avoid nerve stimulants (coffee, alcohol, tobacco, chilly, sweets), take care of body as it is foundation for strong mind, be active but not hyperactive, look into the sun when UV rays are low (early morning, late afternoon), enjoy in Moon's reflections (its romance with the Sun), be grateful to Cosmos for keeping you and all the planets and stars in place, choose carefully your relationships, don’t sleep with anybody just because you can, respect other life, kill and eat only what you really must... simply LIVE, and remember always THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS DEATH, DEATH IS A COSMIC JOKE, DELUSION OF OUR LIMITED MIND, THERE IS ONLY LIFE AND LIFE! Sat Nam 🙏

[@dramacidal6998]

I love how similar Pneuma and Schism are yet they're so different at the same time. If you were to characterize Tool's sound it would be these 2 songs because there's no other band in the world that can sound like Tool. Originality to the fullest degree.

[@kylestafford712]

Pneuma is the Greek work for “spirit”

[@Spooked.J]

Can't wait to see the drum-cam reaction. "Invincible" next? 🤘💞

[@granthawthorne4112]

I think your talking about the Mandela pads, they are an electronic pad, that are pre programmed touch pads that generate different sounds depending on where you hit them, I think you'll take out abit more once you've watched the drum cam video, this song is very drums heavy..

[@estoy1001]

Psyche, pneuma, soma, sarx = Soul, breath (spirit), mind, body. In the bible, the Hebrew/Aramaic word for spirit is ruach (spirit or the emotional part of the soul in qabalah), which was rendered as pneuma in the Septuagint. When it was translated into the Latin Vulgate, pneuma was translated to spiritus, whose root is spiró, spiráre, to breathe. In all senses, ruh, from Semitic roots, refers to the animating principle of the human being.

[@JoeBlow_4]

Here's a tip. If you watch the crash Cymbal you can see the underlying tempo. Even with all the math. That crash Cymbal is keeping the underlying tone. ;)

[@Lateralus138]

To the Greek with that philosophy spirit and breath were one in the same. You're both sort of right.

[@jerrywhite8810]

Good times......good times.

[@m.6246]

Very very nice👍👍👍

[@fan-i-am]

Bible translations gives us these insights: The Greek pneuʹma (spirit) comes from pneʹo, meaning “breathe or blow,” and the Hebrew ruʹach (spirit) is believed to come from a root having the same meaning. ... Ruʹach and pneuʹma, then, basically mean “breath” but have extended meanings beyond that basic sense.(Hebrew ruʹach; Greek pneuʹma), or life-force, of man

[@stefanweber6341]

Please look at "The Witness " by Adam Jones . Tool ist the best band ever, every song is a masterpiece.

[@monkeybrainstew7115]

Spirit is eternal, but bound in the flesh, as if 1 foot is nailed down, and we're just doing laps round and round. The body dies, then the spirit is freed and given a new, spiritual body that is eternal, for better or worse. 1 breath, 1 word (God blew the breath of lives into Adam's flesh body, and in that was the seed for every other life. Remember, God knew us all b4 he founded the earth, and he made the earth for us to have dominion over. When Adam ate the forbidden fruit, he gave that dominion to Satan. Jesus had to come and live, die, go to Hell, whoop Satan's rump, freed the captives in hades, took them to Paradise, then rose again on earth, but I digress). We all came from that 1 breath that God breathed into Adam's nostrils. We are all 1. Stop fighting and be 1, for God's sake. This is how I view this song
