Aloha @mypathtofire, @ablaze and ya all music fanatastiasten.
For our #threetunetuesday toady, I listen to the one, great and absolute stunning band, which formed in 1990 as a alternative metal band, put great efforts to combine art, especially visual arts and musical experimentation, as well messages of personal evolution and - well, that's art and one can find different meaning in lyrics and music - they come with hypnotic sound, it's no one other than
I started listening to them many years ago but never put much attention on it.
Only years later my interest grew and I listened more carefully. Maybe my understanding of that kind of precious art wasn't ready for that.
Even more I appreciate artists like them more than ever.
To make the triple T more readable I chose my three songs wisely and round it up with a triple P collection;
Parabol
Parabola
Pneuma
My favorite songs straight away.
Let's start with
Parabol and the combined followed song Parabola have stunning lyrics and vocalist Maynard James Keenan sings them so authentic.
I have a special connection to the songs because Lluna sings it with such passion that it goes even deeper under my skin, and we even played our own version live at one weekend Hangab session. It absolutely took me far away, somewhere else I don't know where that was. The feedback of our clients and partners were the top of it. Happy tears!
It is
Pure Poetry!
Have a good look at the lyrics... With music.
So familiar and overwhelmingly warm
This one, this form I hold now
Embracing you, this reality here
This one, this form I hold now, so
Wide eyed and hopeful
Wide eyed and hopefully wild
We barely remember what came before this precious moment
Choosing to be here right now
Hold on, stay inside
This body holding me
Reminding me that I am not alone in
This body makes me feel eternal
All this pain is an illusion
The song continues here but turns a bit harder. I could just repeat what I wrote above, so, have another good look at the lyrics and, song on, volume up and enjoy.
[Verse]
We barely remember
Who or what came before this precious moment
We are choosing to be here right now
Hold on, stay inside
[Pre-Chorus]
This holy reality
This holy experience
Choosing to be here in
[Chorus]
This body, this body holding me
Be my reminder here that I am not alone in
This body, this body holding me
Feeling eternal, all this pain is an illusion
[Post-Chorus]
Alive
[Pre-Chorus]
In this holy reality
In this holy experience
Choosing to be here in
[Chorus]
This body, this body holding me
Be my reminder here that I am not alone in
This body, this body holding me
Feeling eternal, all this pain is an illusion
[Bridge]
Twirling 'round with this familiar parable
Spinning, weaving 'round each new experience
Recognize this as a holy gift and
Celebrate this chance to be alive and breathing
A chance to be alive and breathing
[Outro]
This body holding me reminds me of my own mortality
Embrace this moment, remember
We are eternal, all this pain is an illusion
Pneuma is an amazing song where drummer Danny Carey plays his drums magical and puts the most technical stuff full on into it. Looks like he has four brains. One for each limb.
That's why I chose the live version.
The group is only perfect with guitarist Adam Jones and bassist Justin Chancellor who charm you with hypnotic sounds.
Thank you, artistas of TOOL 💕
