Tool - Parabol + Parabola

[MackandSonCo]

Everyone is getting it wrong... Tool is drugs.

[Imadudeyouradude1]

@MackandSonCo That was the most uneducated response I have ever read. WOW. Its a lot deeper than fuckin drugs son.

[MichaelCarreras]

Learn the truth about music @ jamoutnowdotcom

[judezoso311]

The music is all that matters. I did drugs in the past but no longer. Come back to the Northwest.

[corey1690]

Entire song reminds me of insight meditation.

[corey1690]

@corey1690 Mindfulness* rather

[GeneralxGrievousx]

The way Parabol seems into Parabola is just purely NASTY!!!!!!!

[ZeroReaper42]

Amazing how a single letter changes the mood of a song...

[ClassicRockMan95]

@ZeroReaper42 are you saying that the letter changed it? rather then the band?

[makkasjakkas45]

strange... like a fetish or religion when someone says there a big tool fan i feel we are instantly close. both enjoying and understanding the deeper more internal beauty of the world TOOL fans have no reason be cruel to people because we know the importance of understanding and acceptance of not just people but all matter around us

[natalieanne101]

EXCELLENT

[TheOzn01]

a TOOL of faith!

[AgentOrange921]

just saw this live, the perfect ending :DDD

[baphomet257]

A dear friend of mine took his own life this morning. We had the privilege of meeting Danny and Justin backstage on the Lateralus tour. I wish he just would have listened to this song one last time; if nothing will make you want to live, give this song a try. We are all the product of a Holy Union and each breath is another chance to be alive and breathing.

[VideoMask93]

@baphomet257 I'm very sorry to hear about your friend. I am also incredibly jealous that you got to meet Justin Chancellor!

[baphomet257]

@VideoMask93 -- Thanks much for your condolences. Also, Justin and Danny are both very nice guys.

[stretchy1nipples]

i can never multitask while listening to tool. all of your senses just flow into the music and stop you from doing anything else but getting lost in the song.

[samjoseph26]

A.R. Rahman has copied this song for a South Indian movie " vinnaithandi varuvaya "... wat a shame on this asshole

[TheTrend25]

I blew my load at 3:04, then I shut the screen off finished rubbing and went to sleep!

[hippocakes]

That surge of energy at the beginning of Parabola is enough to propel you into space.

[GooGuGajoob]

Wow, Music IS Art...

[VideoMask93]

@GooGuGajoob If this is the first progressive band you've listened to, I highly recommend you check out Yes, Rush, King Crimson, Dream Theater, and Queensrÿche.

[Jesusplant]

Divine Beings bless this, the true form of music, and may an unholy blight be cast upon thos responsible for the over marketed sounds polluting the airwaves.

If it doesn't give you goosebumbs it's just not good enough.

[destury119]

Parabol>Parabola

[tnix80]

@destury119 the two together are greater than the sum of the parts.

[conejwsr]

This body, holding my, reminds me of my own mortality, embrace this moment, remember, we are eternal, all this pain is an illusion. Who else but maynard could write such poetry...?

[AlkaroSmb]

all this pain is an ilusiooooooooooooooooooo0o00o0­OOoo0Oo0o0oOO0OOOOOOOO

[magma4ever92]

Pure Divinity.



[ballsofcotton11]

@ultraviolence6655321 good point

[J450N17]

You don't need drugs to enjoy Tool...you need Tool to enjoy drugs.

[DarcHunter]

@J450N17 God its true.... o.o

[facecheek]

@J450N17 omfg thats clever!

[magma4ever92]

how can you dislike this?!?!

[ivanguliashki]

@magma4ever92 you can't,they just missed xD

[WreathOfCoils]

@magma4ever92

If your a dumb asshole. That would be my guess anyway. :D

[jevimetal13]

I don't need acid or weed, Tool already produces the brain chemicals on my brain to make me feel as awesome as ever.

[Moza1219]

the music video to this songg is rediculoussss... theres a part in the video where the guy cuts an apple in half and u see a sun looking shape in the middle... a week laterr i cut a potatoe in half and there was a cucifix in the middle.... i couldnt beleive it so i took a picture of it

[athena437]

I grew up listening to stuff like this and Metalica " enter sand man" was my lulluby i literly feel asleep to shit like this and my whole way of life is based on my loving of pure rock and metal like Tool

[Abanine]

@athena437 ditto my whole life is changed and centered on the music i listen to. that i connect with.

[SmartestViking]

tool minus parabol plus parabola

[Cerrani91]

@SmartestViking Equals epicness.

[snakerohan]

I masturbate to this song :3

[rattebek]

@snakerohan i find this really difficult to masturbate to.jk.

[jfullerfreeman]

ALIVE!

[DevilKadams]

Fuck Yeaaaaaaaaa This sounds so badass

[Danty033]

Can someone give download for this song?

[joshdaugherty1111]

@Danty033 warez-bb(dot)org 2.5mil members, most trusted site in my opinion to DL anything your heart desires (literally) check it out

[shnoopdawg]

if only it had some lyrics...

[RedoubtWolf]

I listen to tool because it's good rock music. I'm not into the whole "third eye-voodoo-hippie" shit that alot of people get out it. It's just music.

[SoenAfEnkaelling]

@RedoubtWolf third eye voodoo hippie shit? that's kind of an ignorant statement... please don't label anything without any knowledge of the topic!

[TheLaughingMan0603]

@SoenAfEnkaelling as some tool fans like you keep that crap, acting like elitist snobs that believe they are superior beings because listening tool, more people will start to hate the band seriously, as the other guy said, some of us listen the music, the lyrics and enjoy it, but we dont oversearch in the lyrics looking for deep intrincate and inner meanings, bullshit!

[Ebotchl23]

@TheLaughingMan0603 its all about perception. one's reality is different from another's. Maynard himself has said that the lyrics of Tool mean next to nothing... its a "tool" for one to use for whatever purpose they need. Letting the reality of another get to you is contradictory to Tool's intentions.

Its easy for a tool fan to feel elitist as they feel enlightened and "above" others. But its your own perception that says that they truly feel that way.

[Ebotchl23]

@TheLaughingMan0603 You cannot know exactly the thoughts that crawl through the minds of others.

As far as oversearching for intricate meanings and such.. that's their own perception as well. We're all going to die one day. Its not when we die, or how we die, but the life we've lived that matters. how we get through this. If they find it easier to make it through life by oversearching than who are you to criticize them on that?

[SoenAfEnkaelling]

@TheLaughingMan0603 yeah i'm pretty much a psuedo-intellect that spouts bullshit over the internet like so many others, i know. but i never said a was a superior being above others. what the fuck? and by the way, who gives a fuck about people hating the band. some people would still hate the band whether they had a perfect fanbase who keeps their mouths shut when they disagree with another person or not.

[TheLaughingMan0603]

@SoenAfEnkaelling you may not be egocentric about the issue, doesn't mean that others can't become.

Hey sir, do you win something arguing over the internet, trying to change the opinion of a hater?

[SoenAfEnkaelling]

@TheLaughingMan0603 no, theres nothing to be gained from internet arguments.

[UndergroundJ0t4]

i never listen to nay of them alone. always parabol followed by parabola :D

[trivestar]

@UndergroundJ0t4 Hey, that isn't a coincidence. The ENTIRE Lateralus album follows the Fibonacci Sequence, which was first indicated by the song Lateralus. (0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13... i.e. each number is a product of the previous two numbers) In Lateralus, "Spiral" was said many times, referring to the Golden spiral and the Fibonacci sequence. I just created a playlist that ordered the album into this spiral, where each song leads into the next, just like Parabol - Parabola. Check it out!

[AncientMonkey7]

I love the transition between the two songs.... awesome!

[fuzztubeyou]

sweet! thanks for posting these together! And for not doing it at 240p!

[cawkkburn65]

Reality is plain fucking strange outside of the body. Eternity is an obvious feature of our being, but that's hardly the first thing that arrests your attention! All our concepts are just some primitive brain grappling with survival in a particular environment. When the brain is gone and it's just... whatever the hell we are... then it's a completely different story. No reason to fear death, no reason to fear anything, apparently this is all a mental construct.

[JEFFINGBRIDGES]

Best ten minuets of my life

[BlameHofmann84]

T00L

.

[Aw3som3P3rson]

I SAW THIS SHIT LIVE!!!! FUCK YEAH!!!!

[MrDoctorawkward]

@Aw3som3P3rson I've had the pleasure of seeing this live1.5 times. The point 5 is because the second time I saw it, the sound was mixed terribly, and my seats were in the focus of the Sub-Woofers. It was so overwhelmingly bass-heavy that my heart-rate synched up to the music, and I passed out/went forceably astral. I don't remember the three songs after, or the second half of this one, but i do remember that the colors were very pretty. (No drugs involved)

[zearr0]

wh- hhhhhhhhhhhhh WHY IS HIS VOICE SO FUCKING AWSOME!?!

[trishab56]

This is one reason TOOL is on tha top for my list of bands! ;-)

[hallorand9]

@spiral2012

Bro, your third eye can be opened at any time, any place. You just need to be vulnerable. Don't let the illusions disturb you , because they are not what matters.

[ZeroReaper42]

A missing letter in a song really makes a difference lol



[TheBigNegus]

Pain is a tool to keep the body alive (physical pain at least), and nothing more. Our collective consciousness is eternal.

[mudslide88]

4 people cant handle the truth

[deathmanual]

Glad to exist.

[Rolazium]

One of the few songs that having no video and just a black background does it justice.

[doodman73]

4 people....never heard this song live!

[Jason11190]

@doodman73 no,they just have no taste in Music

[chocolatebutter420]

this body holding me, reminding me that i am not alone.



[disturbedbelief05]

2:15 our bodies are computer programs making us belive this is real

[CosmicAlfonzo]

Looking at the comments to this video make me realize why the band is called Tool. Tool kicks ass, but its fans don't realize that they are trolling the shit out of them.

[TheBigNegus]

Music like this puts you in the right mindset to contemplate things that make the average person uncomfortable. You can think of it as an opportunity for pure open-mindedness with the romance of the beautiful music. Tool's music helps you see into the black cloud of uncertainty and the unknown that is looming over our ignorant heads.

[Ugluk666]

am I the only person feeling bit awkward reading those drug-oriented-pseudo-philosoph­ical comments? Jaaaysus, I appreciate feeling the music and so, but I got the feeling, you guys are takin' bit too much of this stuff ;] change dealer.

[ronny4ever123]

@Ugluk666 youre not alone my friend.

[1504245]

@Ugluk666 lol, it takes a little living and aging to see it i guess. I suppose in my youth drugs helped "break the barrier." having moved away from that, i can reflect back. but for the pseudo-scientific part, its only because the mind is the least understood. its a tool that isn't very well understood, but eventually we will know more. these strange seeming comments are only like filling in a puzzle without a picture to reference.

[tommasosciotto]

I agree with you

[dexterastro1134]

No one person is capable of entirely understanding the truth of the universe. Those ideas are beyond the capabilities of the human mind. We can only touch the surface of it. Only when we accept this, and strive to understand the truth of OURSELVES, can we find enlightenment. True wisdom lies in knowing yourself. ______

[Makatzzero]

ihr solltet echt weniger kiffen

!!

[SweetScarred10]

seriusly... this is sex.

[wvism]

Humandee.. it will come back when it needs you. It'll pull you in through some other artist. in some other song. Its a magic world that doesn't quite belong to us all the time though we are part of it.

[imgayandobese]

I love this song

[tcs923]

@spiral2012 My shaman has had spans of years in his training where his cravings/fears/aversions concerning the "mystical experience" blocked his ability to "reach those realms". If you can truly make peace with mundanity, you may find that the grace of the Universe can touch you again. And Western culture, those other people...they can't keep a true yogi down. May your spirit fly again, my friend.

[rugmaster58]

I have the lyrics "This body holding me be my reminder here that I am not alone" tattooed on my chest... I would say that this song has meaning to me.

[33emachines]

WE ALL HAVE THE CHOICE TO OPEN OUR EYES - WE ARE ALL EQUAL! WORDS DON'T EXPRESS HOW MUCH I LOVE TOOL. I HOPE WE DESIRE TO REACH ENLIGHTENMENT AND BETTER THE WORLD TOGETHER. ENTER THE VOID - LIFT THE VEIL - POWER TO THE PEOPLE!!!!

[33emachines]

WE ALL HAVE THE CHOICE TO OPEN OUR EYES - WE ARE ALL EQUAL! WORDS DON'T EXPRESS HOW MUCH I LOVE TOOL. I HOPE WE DESIRE TO REACH ENLIGHTENMENT AND BETTER THE WORLD TOGETHER. ENTER THE VOID - LIFT THE VEIL - POWER TO THE PEOPLE!!!!

[ahhhhh635]

FUCKING AMAZING!



[jtr8721]

@vivdmord it's probably because they are all members of mensa and have IQs over 160. So realistically they are smarter than most of us.

[SteveSparx]

GENIUS

[mentok11]

thanks for the merge!!

[TheDeistAngle]

These songs are like audio orgasms.

[Forpulus]

this song = epic



[namtrof]

remember, we are eternal. all this pain is an illusion.

[MrDrumzOrz]

I was nice and calm when I put this on.

Now I just want to fuck some shit up.

[THElatexsanta]

@MrDrumzOrz

In contrast, I find this makes me chill more than anything. Especially in conjuction with illegal substances,

[MacMan282]

This music is the only thing that allows me to disconnect from society, but at the same time, it connects me to all events, almost as if I am placed in an intersection of human interaction where, for the only time we can allow ourselves to be individuals.

[bullsnake70]

The way you can hear Justin's fingers sliding over the neck of his bass in Parabol is just incredible. I don't know why it just is.

[Vivimord]

Why do I get the feeling that TOOL know something I don't...

[TheKushMon]

@Vivimord 'Cause they do. It's called Spiritual Enlightenment. They're on a whole different level. This is why they don't release the lyrics. They say people just "won't get it." But once you do "Get it" the music is that much more profound and meaningful.

[Vivimord]

@TheKushMon I get the impression you "Get it". Maybe I will one day too. Thankyou for your condescention.

[philnoll]

@Vivimord I think I know why watch?v=4YSSXlgJEXU

[rewya999]

@Vivimord When you've tripped as much acid as the lead singer...you know A LOT more than most people

[yellowfishstick]

@rewya999 that is the stupidest thing i've ever heard. Tripping acid doesn't make you smarter, just delusional

[anchovy93]

@yellowfishstick it's just by chance that the singer is amazingly smart

[rewya999]

@yellowfishstick Your obviously just as blind as the rest of this world

Listen you don't know shit about the chemical or how it interacts with the brain if your going to let a group of people (the govt.) that have no knowledge other than that of the german scientist Albert Hofmann who studied only the lethal doses and never delved into the psych factor of it all

What you DONT know is that tripping acid is taking a trip into your mind and figuring out everything about yourself

Enlightenment.

[muthergamer1]

@Vivimord

Because they do. :D

[MrBomberPengu1]

@Vivimord ... that's very stupid lol

[Vivimord]

@MrBomberPengu1 and you say this because?

[MrBomberPengu1]

@Vivimord 'cause looks like you're saying that you know everything lol

[Vivimord]

@MrBomberPengu1 Hmmm... On the contrary, it just seems they have insight into things beyond mere mortals (like you and I) I didn't mean to sound bigheaded....Maybe you just read me wrong.

[MrBomberPengu1]

@Vivimord oh.. ok then :)

[sheepOnWeedtheONE]

@Vivimord they do!

[sheepOnWeedtheONE]

@Vivimord they do!

[KillKeymo]

@Vivimord YES!

[Vivimord]

@AleksMCS and you're clearly angry, prejudice and illiterate. Thankyou.

[1JMB1]

@Vivimord Cuz you're stupid? Sorry, just being sarcastic;)

[formerassassin]

@Vivimord

We live in a Quantum Holo Fractal Graphic Micro Dot Omniverse Video Game programed by thought and emotion rendered tangable via mathmatics and measure powered with our eternal life force. Naaa....They weren't holding out on much...O_o...

[lich1313]

@Vivimord

Since I've heard this song, and then re-listened to others, I feel that some member(s) of TOOL has an abnormal understanding of the afterlife.

[Babyslutproductions]

@lich1313 Everyone has the power to know, but, it requires alot things. Such as, intellect, effort, determination, etc.

[EverInAscent]

Can I offer anyone a parabol retold? It also comes with an allusion to the Brothers Karamazov...

[Onizuma13]

All the songs on that CD connect perfectly. If you ever listen to them in their "true" order.

[jonnyboy531]

@Onizuma13 Fibonacci sequence!

[ZeroDegreezCelcius]

Those 2 people will never understand reality and what it is meant to be

[doodman73]

2 people, clearly take it up the ass!!!!!

[sidgurl21]

the parabola part makes me totally uncomfortable---it must be great

[punchyourbabies]

This is my new favorite song!!!!

[SulfurCitizen]

I try to get a red light on my motorbike just as it shifts from Parabol to Parabola.

Green light, clutch, shift up......

I am trying not to listen to music whilst riding; I know it is silly, but there is nothing else quite like it.

[SmellyStingFace]

Absolutely awesome.

[kikixatzialeksandrou]

"This body makes me feel eternal,All this pain is an illusion"..could be for sure status quo

[MissNinja100]

Omg the transition from parabol to parabola is not only sexy but is F'n EPIC!!! Love it!!

[anthonylancer]

everyone go grab a blunt/joint/pipe/bong and listen to these songs. holy shit

[cartoonlova673]

makes me want to be buddist

[secti0n31]

1 person sucks at life. And it's not me!

[ThisIsUngood]

okay, that was pretty fucking awesome.

[kikixatzialeksandrou]

God damn....I am stunning

[Cybercobra1000]

One word. Amazing. Tool pwn like Chuck Norris!

[machngunjoe]

One person is Deaf!

[psychoticsociopaths]

@machngunjoe 381 people have good taste in music

[manrayer88]

I think they named it parabol so that it would transition smoothly on peoples shuffles...

Parabol isn't a real word

[BeyondxDescription]

@manrayer88 parable is

[TheArabassist]

@manrayer88 agreed. probably a pun on 'parable' aswell

[psychoticsociopaths]

@manrayer88 it is a homophone for parable which would tie into the overall theme

[anthonylancer]

The best thing to listen to when high!

[theceterus]

Yo, love the song, I downed this and converted for a single parabola song. Great quality, just a question, what's the font?

[TheHitez]

if you guys like tool, listen to hurt.

It doesn't matter how many times I listen to these.

That transition into Parabola has NEVER stopped blowing my mind.

[yngvaibucketrucci]

oh my fuckin god. this is so amazing

[DrZaious]

Celebrate a chance to be alive and breathing.

[RoundTableinc]

There should be scholars just to de-code tool.

[decemberbaby9]

Feeling eternal all this pain is an illusion!

[moethetube]

Haha, the best rating ratio i've ever seen, 1 dislike (i'm the 300th like :))

Mad props to whoever decided not to have parabola seperate from parabol. They are meant to be played as one, to let you grasp the full emotional experience.
