My wife (of 25 years) says to me, “why do you listen to this druggie music”? She didn’t know me 31 years ago, with a needle in my arm and a cocaine straw stuck up my nose. This music is part of the antidote…Along with coninued participation in N.A. Keep coming back.
Should have done the live version. It has so much more emotion.
I have a great idea for a live stream. Maybe even a fund raiser? You ready? Nirvana Unplugged. The entire thing. There is so much emotion. This wasn’t too long before he offed himself. In hindsight, he was letting us all know during this performance. It’s an incredible masterpiece.
@heartsupport…
sober since 07 and I can say this song is the story of my life. some of the words are from the drinks perspective and some from the person in addiction. I was just liar, an idiot, I would complicate other peoples lives etc. addiction is always stalking me trying to get that first drink in me.
Tool has dragged me through to the other side of every single mental health crisis I’ve ever faced.
Very true…
Has she done “Judith” by APC yet??
I want what I want…I want what I want
It’s also hard with alcohol addiction especially at the beginning of sobriety to square in your mind why other people are clearly able to drink and have fun without being alcoholics (or at least bad/deaths door alcoholics). I think that’s what you were kind of getting at around minute 6. Like why do they get to do it but if I dot it my life will go to complete shit…. Again.
Sober 10 years on Feb 8, 2025
Prison Sex next?..
Bro owns a winery…so…
Guessing it ain’t him 
I think this song was about a friend of the band who was an artist and only felt he was creative while intoxicated.
Gravity by A Perfect Circle…trust me. This song is my victory song from addiction,depression and alcoholism. I chose to live!!! And will always choose to live…
I’d love to see a reaction to “Weak and Powerless” by A Perfect Circle. I think it’s one of the most powerful songs about addiction.
the live version of this from early 90’s is amazing!
that currents sweater is fucking sweet. best band
i just broke up a relationship and it led me to such a big depression that pulled me into a crack and alcohol addiction in theese last six months, i’m from Brasil and i’ve discover your videos wich gave me some kind of a light at the end of the tunel, things that i wanted to hear, other things i don’t, but at the end this channel and your authentic way to deal with theese delicate subjects is just incredible, thanks very much and congratulations for this great work.
I lost my father to alcohol and drug addiction. He’s been gone 22 years now and I still struggle to understand how he let it get that far. Sometimes I get it, and sometimes I don’t. I’m 42 years old and it’s still a confusing feeling. I myself battle with depression but use him as an example. I’m sober.
The hand shaking… dts…
