Daddy Thinks: of music. TOOL: Fear Inoculum – Invincible (part 1)

Invincible - a tune so ordinary and special at the same time. This would be the one tune of Fear Inoculum I'd choose to play for someone who doesn't know the band at all: beautiful and pretty straightforward vocal melodies and rhythms, pleasantly challenging time sequences and a six minute hypnotic grind in the middle...

Daddy Thinks: of music. TOOL – Fear Inoculum: Litanie contre la Peur

https://youtu.be/1xp6DOifzYo While enjoying the Fear Inoculum I have consciously tried to avoid the boundless speculations, interpretations and grains of information that surround the album and the band itself. When immersing myself to Litanie contre la Peur it felt I had to make an exception. After listening to the piece a few times I felt I...

That was a day of adventure

So here I am on the brink of one of the Big Questions that I suppose every blogger has to face sooner or later: how much and how deep private experiences I am willing to share with the world? I know my posts are not that private, or maybe they are since I am trying...

Now

Will I be allowed of all this? This presence This moment This consciousness Life and experience?  Will I be accepted or despised If I'm not the person I was a moment ago The one I've grown and raised up to be? Will I lose myself and everyone I love? Who is it that wants me...

Daddy Thinks: of music. TOOL: Fear Inoculum – Pneuma (part 2)

For the first couple of times when I heard this piece I purposely tried not to focus on Maynard’s deep lyrics and avoid the sometimes very heavy burden they bring when trying to interpret the message hidden in them. I took my thoughts on a journey accompanied only by the musical landscape and my intuition....

Daddy Thinks: of music. TOOL – Fear Inoculum: Pneuma (part 1)

https://youtu.be/FRURmhFE6BI It is time for Pneuma, a song that might just be the best individual piece of the album. At first it sounded very contradictory and really did not fit pleasantly to every situation (and it still doesn't), but it has a load of substance: the instrumental performance is done spot on and Maynard does...

Unique

https://videopress.com/v/guXWqU4u?preloadContent=metadata Alone Covered by wool blankets to keep off the chills Rain beats the roof of the tent playing a tune of power and nourishment The northern wind sings among the pine branches This song of wind and rain It is trembling my little tent It's making me feel small but not forgotten I'm here...

You fell

Like an acorn you fell on the hard sidewalk To be stepped on ran over and kicked around while your peers blossom embraced by the warm soil of their parents You won't cry for help You just lay there in apathy Motionless and forgotten But there is yet time You are broken but something is...

Daddy Thinks: of music. TOOL: Fear Inoculum (single)

Here is the first actual part of Daddy Thinks: of music. This text was originally written in Finnish and published on my FB wall and done pretty fast as to reflect some of my first emotions of the single release. It doesn't have pretty much anything to do with the actual lyrics and story that's...
