Therapist reacts to Tool - Pneuma

Therapist reacts to Pneuma by Tool to discuss the fundamental truth that we all have a light within us. Going through a dark time doesn't disqualify us from having light but it may inform the type of light we have and the direction we should shine it.

Now watch Danny’s drum camera video of the song and see the master in action. Hiss poly rhythms are insane.

[@aperfecttool462]

I recently watched a video of Mike Portnoy working on learning and performing Pneuma . He did amazing with it! " This isn't a song, it's a math equation." Portnoy.

[@viking_nor]

​@aperfecttool462 he didn't play it the way it should be. He did good for 5 hours but it was simplified

[@chriswebb7822]

[@richpeltier9519]

I think it was the second or third time I saw TOOL. Maynard told the audience near the end of the set, that they were wrapping up this leg of the tour. Then he said something that I've always looked to as a source of inspiration in times of darkness, "we love what we do, but we can't wait to just get home, lay back and jack off into a fan". Whadda guy! TOOL is Pink Floyd for the new millennium. 🤘🧙‍♂🤘 Absolutely love what do on this channel and am constantly in awe of how well you do it.

[@telefonomotog1835]

Tool es el pink floyd de esta generación ... Siempre tengo esa misma sensación ... Tengo 55 y comencé a escuchar pink floyd a eso de mis 12 años ... Hace más de 20 años que escucho Tool y desde mí primer escucha tuve la misma sensación que cuando escuché punk floyd por primera vez ... Doy gracias a Tool de sentirme un joven cada vez que los escucho !!!!! ... Ahora espero que en algún momento vengan a América del sur y poder verlos en vivo.

[@jasonhutcherson6224]

You can't truly appreciate this Fully without seeing Danny Carey do this live! Pneuma live Danny Carey drum cam.

As a non believer in god, TOOL Gives me a deep sense of spirituality.. A lot of their songs are very deep and spiritual. May everybody be peaceful and loving and share it amongst one and other from within.

[@yup1579]

Tool brought me to God actually.

[@ideitbawxproductions1880]

One song I think should be looked at, but never gets requested, is Jambi. Easily my favourite song from 10,000 Days. Had it on repeat during my early days of sobriety. "If I could I'd wish it all away/If I thought tomorrow would take you away"

Love hearing an educated person review music. With tool I believe you nail it every time!

[@terryyunie4787]

Pneuma reminds me of my grandfather. Growing up my grandfather whenever he heard people fighting amongst each other he would say. “ Hon dobind ahoi” translates to (we are one people). It took me 35 years to fully understand what he meant. Doesn’t matter the color of your skin, beliefs, background etc. at the end of the day we are one race the human race.

[@SilverSixManTheOG]

The next tool song you should listen to is “The patient”.

[@davidward9737]

I think "Parabol/Parabola" " or definitely "Pushit" would have been more up her alley. Remember she is a reaction therapist, not just a reaction channel. Btw anyone else get happy or smile when you see her bee-bop or dance to music. To cute and funny

[@mischageorgevich2582]

I knew then she was hooked. So much fun she was having.

[@tpaulalex724]

Pushit is such a powerful song. Both the studio recording and the live one. I think the live one lets us hear a greater range of MJK's voice, so I might recommend that one. And the opening. Wow.

Have you done Culling Voices from this same album? I think based on your profession, you could add some great feedback on this one. Let me know what you think!

That’s funny you say that when beat drops that you envision lite bursting out because during the live shows the rest of song the lites are low and when the beat drops golden lites come up and the stage and backdrop burst in like a flame 🔥

OMG!! this is sooo cool!! thanks for sharing - T

[@ThomasMSoleau]

I've loved all your Tool reactions. Tool is one of my favorite bands. This whole album is a masterpiece. It really reminds me of a Pink Floyd album. In that, even though there aren't a lot of tracks. Every song is long and tells an epic story. Next you should check out "Invincible" and "Descending" back to back. They both compliment each other, and I think you would enjoy them. For fun you should check out the drum-cam video of Danny Carey playing this song live.

[@Useless-girl]

I really love your reaction and interpretation of this song! It's a lot like that to me too. And let me tell you that Tool live (I recently had the pleasure of seeing them live for the first time in Budapest, Hungary) is a full on spiritual journey and a must experience at least once in your life! It was like tapping into the ancient collective consciousness to help remember, heal and improve yourself. Words cannot describe what I felt in that arena with all the energies of the band and thousands of people. Tool will remain one of my favorite and most impactful bands of all time!

I have seen tons of videos, even of therapists with the lyrics of Tool, or that they tell us their songs, here in Argentina there are too many psychologists, there is a lack of real therapists, I just want to tell you that I have subscribed because you help a lot, the interpretation of the lyrics and the content of Tool in particular, being sometimes so vulgar, but at the same time so profound, leads you to transcendental questions, and I see you as unique in that, unfortunately I don't know your name, but I thank you again

[@BrandonPierce3264]

Your reactions always brings the feelings, but it was extra emotional tonight, as I just came home from their show in Stockholm. They actually played Pneuma as well. My first ever Tool concert, I dare say it was almost transcendental experience. I needed that. It is amazing how much meaning Tool can convey with so few words, almost Feynmanesque quality.

Lovee the therapy I have while watching your videos. Greetings from Guatemala

[@SINNERSAVEDBYGODSGRACE88]

Let’s just take a minute and appreciate D.C. fucking legend

[@LumpsIsHigh]

You were so VERY close to saying it when you were talking about “spark” and “child, release the light.” This is a reference to the songs 10,000 Days and Wings for Marie (tribute to his mother who passed) off of the 10,000 Days album. Where in Maynard sings the lyrics “and this little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine to light your way home.” Maynard’s mother has an aneurysm and was paralyzed for roughly 10,000 days before she passed. Throughout that time she maintained her faith, which was the source of a lot of anger and frustration out of Maynard. Those feelings can be heard on songs with A Perfect Circle…namely Judith. As you are a therapist, you might check out jimmy (Maynard talking to and reconciling with his child self) and the above mentioned songs Judith, 10,000 Days, and Wings for Marie.

[@yrunaked4]

when listening to Tool, especially Pneuma, I almost feel as if I need to mentally and emotionally prepare myself for it and then again afterwards, to transition back to the reality of this place. This is way beyond goosebumps, this is something far different.

[@pnema20]

@heartsupport, I occasionally struggle with depression and have tried to deal with it in my own way without seeking help. Music has been a great outlet to release and to enjoy the moment. Further TOOL has been a big part of my life since I discovered them early in life and this most recent album of theirs is absolutely spectacular. This reaction to my favorite track off the album is exactly what I needed to hear today, because I believe most of my depressive tendencies stem from not knowing my true purpose in life. I understand we all have the light, but where do I shine this light? Where can I be the most impactful in my life and not feel small and worthless? TOOL is cool and you need to check out the drum cam to this song!

[@HeartSupport]

From Riverbats: @pnema20 That drum cam video is the BEST! Thanks for mentioning it, and thanks for writing this comment. Struggling with depression can be debilitating. It’s like you have an extra weight on your shoulders that keeps you from getting as far along with anything as you know you can. You sound like someone who really knows themselves though. You know you love music and you know it’s something that helps when things seem especially dark. I hear you saying you don’t know your true purpose and I know I can identify with that. You are definitely not alone there. I’ve spent years in the past wondering if I was good enough or smart enough for the path I was on, wondering if I was even going in the right direction. I have to say though that from what I am reading, you already know you have a source of positivity “a light” inside of you and while you may not be sure where to shine it, you know that’s what its there for. Many times after questioning things and feeling like I was wandering aimlessly, I would look back and see that even though it had felt directionless at the time, it often made sense in hindsight. You’re trying to figure out where you can be your best self and I personally think that pretty amazing! If you ever want to talk more about what is giving you feelings of depression, please reach out.

[@HeartSupport]

From Lys: @pnema20 Hey there! First off I just want to say thank you for being open with is here, we appreciate it and don’t take it for granted. I believe that sharing how you feel and what you have been through can help other feel less alone, so again, thank you. I also struggle with depression. For most of my life it has been a constant battle with anxiety and depression. For a long time, I also found ways to cope without seeking others help. Some of those ways were not always healthy, but some were. Music really helped me get through a lot growing up, and it still does to this day. I find the words they sing to be a reminder that i am not alone, that i am not crazy, or the only one going through these thoughts or things. I am so glad that you have been able to find hope in these songs, I think music is a great healthy way to cope. It’s great to be able to go to so you can get away from life for a little and just enjoy something you love. I struggle with what I am meant to do in life as well. I am going on 25, dropped out of college 3 times, I had hopes and dreams that I never followed through with. I am still trying to find myself today, I m still trying to understand what I am meant to do, or what makes me happy. I am hoping that I am slowly finding it. It takes time, please know that age does not set a limit for when you need to know what you want to do in life. I try to remind myself that there is always tomorrow, and the sun will rise and we will try again. I am so glad you are aware that you have a purpose or a light in this life; some people have a difficult time seeing that they matter, they can make a difference. I think how you worded it here is really wonderful, like you know you have the light, but don’t know where to shine it, I will remember that. You are not small and worthless, remember that. Remember that you have purpose, don’t let that go. In my journey of life so far, I have found that I just really want to make people know that they are not alone in what they have been through, what they have felt, what they have tried to do, or the thoughts that they have had. I have hobbies, like art, and music, and playing video games, and my dream is to make that all come together one day, where I can truly be happy in what I am doing with my life. Thank you again for being open with us here. I appreciate your time, and I’m sure there will be more Toole reactions in the future! I am so glad you are here. Keep going my friend. With love, Lys
