P-The Pot. I was fortunate enough to see Tool perform live while I was living in San Antonio. They put on a hell of a show. Each member of the band is so talented that I could probably sit here all day praising them. Instead, I’ll simply let you listen. “The Pot” is one of my favorite songs because of the melody, the shifting time signatures, and the syncopation. The lyrics take a poetic look at hypocrisy. The bass line seems almost disconnected from the rest of the piece. And I love how the melody is introduced a cappella.
Soapbox house of cards and glass so don’t go tossing your stones around…
Tool, “The Pot,” 10,000 Days, 2006
