I cant listen to this song more than like once a year. Its too personal to me. My mother suffered from MS and was confined to a wheelchair for 30 years. And like Marie her faith in God never wavered. Her suffering finally ended 3 years ago this month. 10000 days is probably my favorite song from Tool that just breaks me everytime i hear it.

This whole piece is difficult to describe, that is how good it is. Maynards deep and heartfelt love letter to his mom and how his thoughts evolved over the years in terms of religion but also in terms of his mother and her believes. Contrast it with "judith" from APC and the lyrics there and you can see it clearly. I for one cannot help myself and cry every time with this song.

Did you read the backstory on this, Aileen? Congregants at the church Maynard's mother attended would give praise to her face, but then talk behind her back about how she must have done something wicked to deserve this punishment from God. A lot of Maynard's anger stems from their hypocrisy.

If it’s true that people spoke behind her back in that way they need to be reminded of that story I posted above. Sadly many who call themselves Christian’s are hypocrites. Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’

I think Tool is one of those bands that people go years without ever hearing them and then when they do they are just hooked. the bands unique sound and the way they change time signatures just fit with Maynard so well. he also has such a way with his vocals where all the bands he's in he just fits. even songs that feature him, it just clicks. such as rage against the machine - know your enemy, Tori Amos - Muhammad my friend where Maynard joins her on stage and then there's deftones - passenger.. there are alot of musicians that can pick up an instrument and just jam with anyone, but there's very few singers that can do the same i think.

"10,000 days in the fire is long enough, you're going home." Cuts me straight to my soul every time.

When you talked about the instruments echoing his pain... Now, to further blow your mind; Maynard demands that the instrumental parts are complete to the point of final draft BEFORE he will listen to it to add his parts. They aren't allowed to make any changes after he's received it. 🤯 So they don't know what lyrics he's going to put to the music until he's finished. Beautiful Reaction.

This is one of Tool's most powerful compositions. Every time I hear it I can feel the emotion, and I feel the same way now that I felt when the album came out. It has true staying power.

Every time I hear “10,000 days in the fire is long enough, you’re going home” it literally feels like a gut punch. WOW

Dude. You get it. I love seeing people touched by this song the way I’ve been. I cry pretty much every time I listen to this song. Only ONE other song has this effect (AND is also the gold standard of instruments mimicking crying). I would love to see you react to it. DOGS by PINK FLOYD It’s a real journey. Loving the reactions.

i remember when this song first came out and the concept scared me. i was always close with my mom. then in 2019 my mom had a double pulminary embolism that caused multiple strokes. from the coma in the hospital. to seeing her open her eyes for the first time. insane. a year and a half ago she was sent home without the ability to care for herself and we couldnt afford at home assistance so i offered to take care of her and learn therapy to try to help her. shes able to stand and walk with help now and every day is a new struggle but we try to stay positive and move forward. these songs hit diffrent for me now. i remember listening to 10,000 days and fear inoculum on the way to the hospital to visit her every day. listening to these songs are humbling.

"High is the way but all eyes are upon the ground" is one of my favorite lines from any song.

After the song all his bandmates came over and hugged him. It was so heartbreaking and beautiful. 100% agree with you. No other band could bring a masterpiece like this to life. There's an inexplicable alchemy between these 4 people. Really beautiful.

Maynard and Tool are real artists. They make you think and feel things with their music that very few other bands have even come close to achieving. They are definitely a one of a kind and a once in a lifetime band!

That part in 10000 days where he says "your going home" is probably the most beautiful sound I've heard in any music

First heard this as a teenager and barely comprehended just how powerful these two songs are. 31 now and lost my grandmother 2 years ago to cancer. The loss feels so fresh when I catch a memory of her, but when I listen to this I feel the same grief as the night it happened, and while it's painful, Maynard's music helps me continue to mourn when I need it. I used to think that grieving was a process that slowly stops and eventually people can think about a person without mourning again, but I've just found that the mourning never stops. I just live with it and allow myself to express it, even if only to me, when my emotional endurance fails and needs to take off some. These songs help me through that process. I've thought about reaching out personally to Maynard to thank him for publicizing his grief in his music. But then I think about why, and how I might feel in his position. To be told that someone used my grief to cope with their own, and while I might be happy that something I created helped someone, I think about how selfish my thanks to him is. I wonder whether I would like to be reminded of this sort of eulogizing, and maybe resenting it in spite of why I might've made it. And after these 2 years, I've realized my grief, like Maynards--which now I understand his regret in making these songs--is mine to have and share with my close family. Still, I'm so thankful for this music.

Seeing this song live in 2007 shortly after my aunt passed from a long illness was like nothing else I’ve ever experienced. The band, the crowd, myself, were all one and I experienced it as that collective. It was an outdoor venue with the night sky, a cool breeze and thousands of sweaty bodies pushed together singing. I’m almost crying just reliving it.

You’re pretty much on point he doesn’t perform this anymore and has said in an interview he either didn’t want it out there or was sorry he put it out there. Too hard to get through. Great reaction. Go see the live while you still can it’s an amazing experience.

I always feel like this lyric is missed for its significance. If I remember rightly, Maynard was choir trained as a child, so his singing is her 'gift'. I love the double meaning of this little light too, the literal light of his gift but also as a nod to the children's song with that lyric in... I love this song so much for it's depth and emotion. I can listen in passing and not be affected, but if I sit and listen properly I always end up crying.

These two tracks break me every time. They are absolute masters of soundscape creation, combined with the writing and Maynard's delivery, you feel everything.

Read that just as it hit that part and yep...gotta dab my eyes now, or blink hard.

I guess it's best to get this out of the way. For anyone who has ever lost an angel

I play bass so when I listed to this album (my favourite Tool album) it took a long time for me to connect the lyrics to Judith as the music is just so captivating. At the beginning of Wings for Marie I agree that it does sound like the flapping of wings or even the somber toll of a bell which really highlights the level of Tools song writing abilities. Great reaction! "Jambi" and "Vicarious" are two great tracks from this album that tackle interesting subjects if you want a break from the emotional rollercoaster. If you want to continue to get hit in the feels then "Right in Two" should be next up :)

“High is the way, But our eyes are upon the ground. You are the light and the way. They'll only read about. I only pray heaven knows, When to lift you out. 10,000 days in the fire is long enough. You're going home...” Every. Single. Time. I hear this part of this song I start sobbing. It’s exactly as intense and emotional as the first time I heard it. It’s not just the lyrics. The sudden shift from a single vocal line to all those harmonies is so moving. Losing a parent to a long illness is so hard. My dad withered away from cancer for a decade before he finally died. He was the only consistently reliable person I’ve ever had. I can’t imagine the pain of seeing a parent suffer for 27 years as he did with his mother and her illness.

This song, both parts, are my favorite songs of all time. I held my mother as she died. It hurt so much so see her light leave her eyes. That was eight years ago, and I still struggle with mental issues because of it. But this song always calms me and reminds me the those we care so much about are probably better off, and even that is so much to unpack

Welcome to the TOOL ARMY ❤️

Great reaction. Really well done. Thorough and genuine. Thank you for this 💕

Thank you again for hearing us! Loved, loved, LOVED your reaction to them! Your emotions were dead on with our own... lucky are those who still have their mom's, happy are we who had them for the short time we did. Thank you Aileen 💖

I remember seeing them perform this song as 10000 Days debut. They started in the dark and behind a curtain and as Wings for Mari progressed the lights and visuals slowly started to showcase the band. Once it transitioned into 10000 Days, the fog machines did their thing and covered the stage floor which eventually went into the crowd. I remember looking up and they shun a green lazer light into the fog and the lazer then widened thru and across the fog which made it look like clouds passing over you. Meanwhile your hearing the thunder and that 💩 got me. They were debuting these tracks so I hadn’t heard em before but the emotion was so raw I got teary eye and was shook.

You're by far the most enjoyable KZreadr that does reaction videos. You have so much to offer during your breif commentaries. What you share, your thoughts/opinions seem very sincere. I found your channel today because I needed my Tool fix and started binging. Haven't delved into your other videos with other bands but I just subscribed and most certainly will be... ✌🏾&❤️

He has music from all three of his bands about his mother and he bought a vineyard and scatter her ashes on the soil he grows grapes on for his wine that he named after her. Since she couldn’t move hardly at all she missed out on her dreams of traveling. So he scattered her ashes on his vineyard so that wherever these barrels of wine goes she will be with them. And she can finally travel the world. It’s amazing how he keeps her memory alive.

Quite simply, thank you. Excellent reaction, shown with honesty and respect. I salute you 👏

Yes!!! I am so looking forward to seeing your reaction to these beautifully haunting tracks. I get chills, heavy hearted and emotional anytime I listen to them. Reminds me of my mother in different ways. My Angel and North Star.... damn.

I'm a firm believer that the greatest music will pull emotions from you...tool is a master at this...they build you up to a very personal and emotional climax...I've been a tool fan for over 25 years...it's such intelligent music...so well organized and thought out...to me they are as impact full as the classical greats...

It took me a long time to listen to this without tearing up. I saw Tool on their tour to support 10,000 Days, and this song live was *amazing.*

A brilliant piece of music,so happy you joined the TOOL ARMY

So beautiful. I had the privilege of hearing this gorgeous masterpiece live in 2006. It was devastating watching MJK sing it because the lyrics are so personal, poignant and heartfelt. It's hard listening to it because you can't not tear up. MJK spoke about the regrets he had writing the song and being so open. I understand that, but personally I feel that he's given us a beautiful, timeless gift and most importantly, he's honored his beloved mother in the most amazing way. Beautiful reaction. Welcome to the Tool fam ❤❤

This song always hits me hard. I just lost my father last month and it hits me even harder now.

So Sorry to hear bro 😩 But listening to Tool help me through when my parrents were both killed by a DUI ! I’m sure they will get you through your tough time aswell 🙏

This was just beautifully put by you. Feeling everything all at once. Lost my father to cancer when i was 13, 20 years ago. Listened to Tool with my older sister, got hooked. Maynards lyrics became a balm for the soul. Now i sit here, ticket for them playing in a town near me right in front of me. Here. Today. I didn't go. I didn't go because i just got the news that we just lost a friend. He didn't have to endure 10000 days. He wasn't even that old. This very same day i agreed to a date with the person that was abled to survive because i donated my bonemarrow, my genetic twin from the other side of the world. I hear the thunder rolling. Wait for the crashing storm. And the soothing calm. Feeling everything at once. Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us, thank you for the words you found for this precious piece of incredible work. Lastly: no. please do not ever feel stupid for describing your emotions during a song, especially here. You are absolutely right. Thank you.

Glad you decided to go here so soon. This epic is definitely worth a few tears. ❤

Thanks Aileen for doing these two songs. Your reaction is the same as mine and most who hear these songs. I cry my eyes out every time I hear Wings parts 1&2. Love your channel. Peace ✌️❤️

Don't feel bad sister! We all feel this one. Can't ever get through this so ng without shedding a few tears

To borrow a line from one of my all time favorite movies and apply it here, Maynard may not believe the way that his mom did, but he believed so much in how much SHE believed.

This is one of the best reaction to this song. You really managed to delve into the essence of the song. You should give Steven Wilson's Happy Returns a listen as it may catch your fancy. Its from a concept album that is probably one of the most emotional album the I have heard from start to finish. Happy Returns is the last song off the album that usually makes me tear up because of the lyric. Routine is another song off the same album that is just as emotional, but its from a perspective of a parent who just lost their kid. Happy returns is from the perspective of a sibling writing a letter to their brother talking about life and the past, but the sibling never gets to finish the letter. Another band that you may enjoy is Pain of Salvation and the album is Passing light of day. The singer/songwriter basically made a compilations of his emotion during his stay at a hospital for a illness that almost took his life. The final song which goes by the same name is a final goodbye to his wife of many years. You could say that the whole album builds up for that final song which dabbles with anguish, past memories, rage and acceptance of his condition.

Whomever has lost a parent can clearly feel this...I lost my father in 2004...this song has made made me come full circle...with tears in my eyes...
