Thank you!! Spiral out

[@Qliphirot]

Right on. I thought she would catch the alchemical colors because Jung delve into it, but I know it's a lot to take in at first glance.

[@thetalantonx]

@@Qliphirot You have an amazing user name. :D That aside, you're right. It can be a lot to take in, especially while on camera reacting to it for the first time. She did catch the meaning, whether or not she caught the references.

[@GhostCrowBrother]

Also the syllables align with the Fibonacci sequence which forms a spiral.

[@beqeuietandrive]

⁠@@GhostCrowBrotherit’s actually the syllables too that line up with the sequence as well and then there’s the timing of the different parts of the song, they’re kinda all going back to spirals.

[@PepeAtreides-s3b]

Patient- “ Hi…I’m here for my 1 o’clock appt “ Therapist - “ Wanna listen to TOOL for an hour?” Patient - “ F•ck Yes “ Therapist - “ Have you ever heard of DMT ? “

The crazy thing about the spiral is how often it appears in nature and the universe. From a shell to the galaxy, everything is connected and always spiraling out. Its like the flower of life. It's present in so much of our lives.

[@youtubebannedme4207]

I thought the flower of life was a pussy

[@karowolkenschaufler7659]

yea. mostly following the spiral in wich the fibonachy sequence can be depicted. it's for practical reasons. with plants and shells. it's about leaves not overlapping too much and about an effective way of building a structure. in galaxiees, I suppose, it's physics. like fractals, it's one of those things that make you feel like you can see the basic priciples of our universe. I love shit like this. I can't bring myself to believe in any creation deity, but basic patterns that can be found throughout the whole universe, that seem to be the core of what is.... hell yea. that shit makes me feel connected to space time itself.

[@AlexanderStrachan-e7g]

The golden ratio 😊

[@FlatShoeLance]

I absolutely love your breakdowns of Tool's lyrics. I understand you are a therapist, but you are breaking it down like someone who has listened to Tool for 30 years. I'm here for it!

[@HeartSupport]

awwww thank you so much!

[@scatpack440]

Some of the genius of this song is the writing and singing to the Fibinocci sequence

[@edostork8121]

And that Fibonacci sequence is another spiral… anyway there is a lot of info on this song on the Internet

[@DavidDArcy1975]

[@donnypeters-y9c]

​@@edostork8121 it's actually a perfect spiral. Pyramids as well as cathedrals were built utilizing fibonaci sequence. Also a human face is more pleasing to the eye the closer its ratio is to the fibonaci sequence. Amazing how many instances of the fibonaci sequence occur in nature

[@edostork8121]

[@aidancampbell5644]

I love this song. I remember 20 years ago my girlfriend lying down and listening to this for the first time murmuring to me “now I understand why you love this music”.

[@youtubebannedme4207]

I am a bit obsessed with tool and my wife never got it until we went to a tool concert about 30 minutes into the show she said now I get it. She's been a fan ever since. I think she had a better time than I did.

never have I clicked on a video so fast before. Spiral out!

After the censored version of Ænema I was a bit wary.

[@terryyunie4787]

“Swing on the spiral of our divinity and still be a human”. Im Native American I’m fortunate to still be able to participate and watch our ceremonies/dances. This part always takes me back home. Reminds me that no matter what is going on in the world, whatever or whoever we pray to. Everything will be ok.

[@HeartSupport]

this is so beautiful. thanks for sharing

[@briangunderson4853]

One of my favorite songs to teach to high school students during our modern poetry unit. Helping students realize that every step into bewilderment is pushing the envelope of their existence was thrilling.

[@iancollins65]

Part of what makes Tool so special and unique is their ability to use odd time signatures. Not having things sound just like everything else on out there makes you really listen and pay attention. Of course it helps that they are 4 of that best musicians on the planet and write beautiful music.

[@W00dy590]

A fantastic example of going on a Tool journey. These guys are unique.

[@Sarahlouisseize]

Let yourself ride the wave of life instead of trying to swim through every wave without any mental support for yourself. This song is like a march for me for life as it is. It impassioned me to reach out for the random

[@Dexiray]

when this album came out, their live shows were so fire (they always were and still is) but I mean, the stage looked insanely cool with MJK in a rotating stage, all painted with spirals. CHILLS!

[@Raunline]

The vibe and groove of this song along with your reaction @ the 7:08 mark caught my attention. Over 20 years I’d never realized how the lyrics and music came together until just now. It’s gave me teary eyed and some chills once I realized it. Thank you

[@jak959]

[@Thanabur]

Amen brother/sister. Spiral out

[@lukelarsson]

Yep. Every single time.

[@tarlane]

I still love that this song is about not getting lost in needing to understand everything while also being designed to be over analyzed.

[@jakerobinson5978]

This comment makes no sense whatsoever.

[@MichaelGalok]

A controlled spiral can be an amazing feeling. Stunt driving and race drivers do it all the time. There's something exhilarating about knowing your car's tires are losing they're grip on the road but if you let it happen you can drift and still be in control and accomplish things most people are afraid to try.

[@toolhead6691]

Lost Keys/Rosetta Stoned with lyrics. Great reaction. Spiral out!!

[@fromfleshtosteel]

Tool is my top 2 favorite bands ever and I've never listened to the song in the way you did/described it. I've been going through some serious shit lately and I just spent the last 5 minutes balling like a baby and I'm still wiping my eyes. I'm 38 years old. I don't know if they are tears of joy or torment, but I haven't had this kind of emotional release in years. I'm never going to hear "spiral out" the same

[@BrawndoDrinker]

Almost like its a golden ratio of music and meaningful lyrics 😉

[@Ratm91]

The screw coming out of the chair. "Spiral out." 😂

[@MJAVXC]

Yes, I am 12 videos into this playlist that I discovered two and half hours ago. Yes, I am thoroughly enjoying your reactions to this music that has spoken to my soul for so many years. This one in particular, the is the song of my heart. I'd encourage a couple nights with just you, the desert sky and some mushrooms. Then come back to break this one down again. There is SOOO much here.

[@JonnySmith-o5s]

Like wine and cheese.

[@xenogenesis9635]

Love seeing a therapist dismanteling her apartment with good background music.

[@JonathanRoofner]

I love how silly you can be but in the next second, serious and insightful. I truly wish you were my therapist. My psych appointments literally last 10 minutes and this is how every visit goes: “how you doing”, “ok I guess besides a lot of anxiety and trouble sleeping” “ok well I’ll increase youre klonpin and that should give you relief” “ok” “alright, good to see you have a good one and I’ll see you in 3 months”

[@HeartSupport]

thank you friend. I'm sorry that's your experience at your psych appointment. Unfortunately that's the experience many people have. My encouragement would be to try to find a therapist AND a psychiatrist. Many people don't know this but psychiatrists primarily prescribe medicine, whereas therapists can actually help you process. We also have a peer mentorship program if you're interested :) Sending love!

[@JonathanRoofner]

@@HeartSupport thank you for that advice. See, I always imagined psychiatrists where you go in, lay on a couch, pour out you’re soul and they help you work through you’re issues. When I came back from Afganistan, I was NUTS but I’m doing a lot better now as far as the fear, depression, and paranoia but I’m doing much better now. Just not quite where I wanna be. I’m a single dad with custody of my daughters and they bring me a lot of joy so I’m doing a lot better but I will definitely seek out a good therapist. Thank you

[@bernhardmair6233]

Raching out to embrace the random, reaching out to embrace whatever may come. Thanks dear friends for the journey

[@homedronemovies5126]

Having had stage 3 cancer twice. I found fighting to stay alive has humbled me and given me anxiety. The big question is what if it comes back what if ? This what if that. This feeling all but consumed me. But after 6 months of taking the magic fungus. I have found a way to compartmentalize the anxiety and live the life i was given a second chance at . Man what a great feeling it is to be alive. Please do the song Deadman by the band Karnivool. This one will take you to a place I do t think you can analyze and would love to see you break it down

[@vaughnnewman8903]

Gotta love that Fibonacci! Love your Tool reactions. I've seen dozens of reactions to this song and yours is unique given your experience and insight. You definitely have an intensity and motivation that are unrivaled. Keep spiraling out...

[@dhz781]

this is one of a few songs that gives me chills every time i hear it. a masterpiece.

[@ZosoLU]

Lateralus is one of the best songs I've ever heard. I think you're ready to delve into the songs about Maynard's relationship with his mother Judith, her faith in the face of tragic disability, and his evolving feelings about her. It's a worthwhile journey. Tool - Jimmy A Perfect Circle - Judith Tool - Wings for Marie (Pt 1) and 10,000 Days (Wings Pt 2) [To be done in one reaction.]

[@texgarrett7158]

That was cool. Never thought I'd see Stevie Nicks react to the greatest song ever made.

[@20th_century_Ghost]

I highly recommend Tool's songs "Invincible" or "Right in Two"

[@noahlandrum3413]

This song actually helped pull me from the depths of a 2 or 3 year long depression about 20 years ago. The entire album helped, but this and Parobol/Parobola were the most therapeutic. Anyhoo... I hope your channel grows. You're the kind of person I could get lost in conversation with and I love that. A chaotic yet functional and analytical mind is ... well it's kind of hell but it's fun. Good luck with your channel ❤

[@jessicamcbee8702]

When I REALLY sat up and paid attention to this song for the first time, I had the same reaction to "Spiral Out, Keep Going!" that you did. I was giddy!!! It changed my life!!! Embrace the random! Spiral out and keep going!!!

[@joshs8685]

Taylor - Please pause to share your thoughts! Talking loudly over guitar solos isn't the vibe : )

[@fentanyllWoW]

this is my favorite song of all time. i listen to it every night

[@karowolkenschaufler7659]

"as below so above and beyond I imagine". I just love that line. for me it takese the "as a above so below" (wich I don't like.) and truns it upside down, inside out. suddenly I can interpret fractals into this and that the same rules apply all over our universe and possible in other universes as well. suddenly that lilne opens a whole world to me.

[@Pohgg-c9o]

I was lucky to see Tool in Toronto just after Sept 11... They closed with this song.... Powerful stuff.... Maynard had a message before going into it about how we all needed to take this creative feeling and go do something positive for the world.

[@Lainfiestarob666]

Love how you translate all of the TOOL videos, you’re great 🫶🖤

[@mikegeyer4138]

One of the greatest and most important bands of our time.

[@mllecamill3]

This band has been the most influential band and music to me since my young age. Their songs are very long and complex, and the name "Tool" is so well chosen. It's a tool for you through the music they have written for so many years. :)

[@jakefromstatefarm1405]

Im here for any Tool songs you do 🤘🌀

[@fnkdtnk]

The spiral from the Fibonacci Sequence, which is used in this song, grows consistently and eternally. It is not a random spiraling that is out of control, but a perfect and intentional spiral that never stops growing. So grow, with purpose and intent. Don’t just go flailing around and see what happens.

[@rayspike7745]

I just love how a song that is SO over thought has people interpret its meaning as not to not over think shit. I think it's just the opposite, you have to put everything into something and the most important thing is to know what matters and put it there. She gets it. Spiral out my dear, you're fantastic at it.

[@Dexiray]

btw, SPIRAL OUT and explore MJK other bands too. A Perfect Circle - Orestes - Stone And Echo ( Live at Red Rocks 2013 ) - pls do the live version Puscifer - The Humbling River

[@Veritas-TheGoader]

When you let go of control, you are able to discover. Discovery is not always good, but experience is the purpose of life, not only good experiences.

[@BMGipe45]

Glad I stumbled on this channel. Great takes about each song. Thank you for all you do.

[@gerhardbezuidenhout3702]

This song embodies harmony between entropy and structure. Like life, it is complicated, yet so simple. It invokes thinking but also feeling. It meanders effortlessly between the known and the unknown world, weaving a glorious tapestry of lyrics, sound, and emotions- there is simply no other song that connects so engagingly on all these dimensions.

[@jacobpatterson3705]

Love your reactions on these videos. Thank you for making this content

[@seangilmore6695]

This song makes my kundalini ascend and sit atop the crown of my head and shoulders like a halo. For me, it is about living in the moment of now and forgetting about the past and future. Feeling my body and at the same time letting my mind expand well beyond it.

[@davidmarino1913]

I always love seeing folks trying to figure out Tool's rhythms.

[@danielshaffer6067]

Love your analysis, as always. This is one of, if not my favorite of theirs. It inspired my tattoo on my forearm (the written version of the phi symbol) Yes to everything you said. But also, as other comments have mentioned, the Fibonacci Sequence. Look up (on KZbin) "Tool Lateralus Fibonacci". It gives a great break down of how well thought-out this song is.

[@wejobay]

I’d love for you to do the entire album from start to finish because I believe they put it together as a journey to enlightenment.

[@erikbudrow1255]

This song definitely helps me when I feel like I'm spiraling and when reality seems overwhelming, absurd, and meaningless to me. "Feed my will to feel this moment...reaching out to embrace the random, reaching out to embrace whatever may come...to swing on the spiral of how divinity can still be a human" 🥲

[@LoaderX73]

[@sleepyjo9340]

Reflection is underrated

[@dantelerae]

I think it's important in Lateralus (as an album), especially, that it's viewed as a whole story. The album is a story not just the song. So there's context for the song that makes sense for the song as an individual but it's not whole until you're considering where it is in the story told in the album. For me, Lateralus is a love story.
