I don't like many Tool songs, but I love your description of how this one, Parabol, and the whole Lateralus album affected you!

I'm sorry about your dad, RVCA. That's sweet that your dad sang you and your siblings a Janis Joplin song as a lullaby.

A song that often makes me tear up is Wilco's Reservations:
