One of my favorite tool songs. great music and strong message.

Jamel, as long as I've been following your reactions, I've waited for you to do this song! Given how you feel the music & look for meaning in the lyrics, I knew this song would be an eye-opener. Indeed, Tool, both music and lyrics, gives us an opportunity to reflect, to analyze, to give our brains a workout. Be it social commentary, theological, etc., they give us the platform to think! From day 1, this song has really struck a chord with me. It so undeniably true. We've been given a gift - a beautiful Eden and the ability to think & reason, but what do we do, we create chaos, disorder, destruction. We continuously 'beat our brother down'. Never content with what we have, we need to split it 'Right In Two' - sad, sad reality!

Jamel_AKA_Jamal come to the Panhandle of Texas. These jams resonate throughout this flat, dry landscape. This is pregame music for those Friday nights in the fall. Specifically, visit Lubbock, Texas. This is the spot...Buddy Holly’s hometown. Texas Tech is here, Mexican food and BBQ, cotton, wine, peanuts, pumpkins, watermelons, “Friday Night Lights” towns pepper the landscape. It’s not East or west coast, but, folks aren’t in a hurry, they’re helpful, they’re pleasant and nice, they hold doors open for everybody and most folks go to church. Great school districts too. Most people sleep on places like this... 😎

You will never hear music like there’s again. They are so unique. I’ve had the chance to see them live a few years back and mind blowing!

Fun music geek fact. The meter that they’re playing in could be considered a direct reflection of the lyrical theme. The musical “phrase” is felt in 3 (often considered a holy, perfect, and balanced number) but on the bars where he sings “right in two” they always change it to a 2 feel, instead of that 3.
