Happiness, and Tool

I found this quote today and not only did it make me google Maynard Keenan and learn that he was the singer for Tool, but the quote and the meaning behind it kind of stuck with me. Nice use of words, Maynard. 🙂

“Happiness is something you achieve, a constant thing. A constantly turning over thing, like a small plant that has flowers constantly blooming and dying on the same stem. It’s not like you achieve happiness this one time and it just stays with you forever. You don’t bake a cake because a cake makes you happy, you don’t bake that one cake because you baked this cake or bought that car you wanted to get. You’ve always wanted this car, you got the car, now you’re happy forever…no.”

– Maynard Keenan (singer, Tool)

Now, I’m going to to youtube and see if I like Tool or not.

Here is Tool’s cover of Paul McCartney’s song “Silly Love Songs” with Lyrics:

Is that what you needed?
(background)

You’d think that people would have had enough…
Of silly love songs.

I look around me and i see,
It isn’t so…

Some people want to fill the world up with silly love songs

What’s wrong with that?
I need to know.
’cause here i go…
Again!

I love you (X4)

I can’t explain
The feeling’s plain to me

I gave you some
Now give it all to me…
Give it all to me!

What’s wrong with that?
I need to know
’cause here i go…
Again!

I love you… (X4)

Love doesn’t come in a minute
Sometimes it doesn’t come at all
I only know that, when i’m in it!
It isn’t silly!
Love isnt’ silly!
Love isn’t silly, at all!

I love you… (X4)

Can? Can the world sound good without silly love songs? (2x)
