No Picture marvin Lead Player	#1 by marvin at Mar 25, 1971 at 12:15 AM EST
	this song even though its so simple it has so much meaning... i agree with you it gives off a 'chill and take everything in' feeling. Maynard is one of the best (if not the best) song writers out there...i mean that. and TOOL is by far one of the best bands the songs give off the best vibes. -evol

No Picture Jay Dizzle Wanna Be	#2 by Jay Dizzle holden at Apr 14, 1978 at 2:18 AM EST
	I feel like in this song, he's trying to say step back, and look at the big picture, how beautiful it is, and watch how it can change

No Picture December Underg Average	#3 by December Underground at Aug 17, 1982 at 8:36 PM EST
	perhaps the weather already changed for the person he's talking to and he's saying "tell me about it, and you'll feel better"...you know, like when you are in a real shit mood and you tell a friend about everythign that's wrong, and you feel better. mention it to me and i'll help you change your mood for the better...or perhaps its like in a relationship when the mood shifts...things dont feel as right or perfect as before, and he's saying we gotta start talking about things, whatever has changed we gotta talk so we can change it back, or change again to make it better...

No Picture Kenny Lead Player	#4 by Kenny Berg at Mar 3, 1986 at 4:15 AM EST
	it's about people changing your opinions when your feeling vulnerable. But It's A masterpiece, the first time I heard it it was amazing, but not that amazing. It wasn't until I closed my eyes for the whole song and really cought on to the melody, the groove and the smooth, beautiful and so peaceful texture. that I realised what a masterpiece it was.

No Picture michael Wanna Be	#5 by michael Dittrich at May 23, 1990 at 5:52 PM EST
	To me, this song means that the writer is talking to someone around whom his life is centered. One word changes his whole outlook. In a much more literal sense, one word changes his mood, which then, literally changes the weather, because we all know Maynard is God.

No Picture lewi Wanna Be	#6 by lewi broadway at Jul 21, 1991 at 2:03 PM EST
	Watch the waether change = Watch our relationship evolve into something strong and beautiful, as a unity, sine being an unity seems to be a strong theme trought the album. Also the "mention this to me" could just be "tell me "I love you". With such a beautiful melody, I can't think of anything else than love for the theme. Such as strong,powerful,beautiful,passionate,deep melody can only be related to love.

No Picture Turd Fergeson Lead Player	#7 by Turd Fergeson Fergeson at Oct 22, 2005 at 12:25 PM EST
	i think the melody of this song is just great to listen to

No Picture TAMARA Musical Genius	#8 by TAMARA at Oct 3, 2007 at 11:17 PM EST
	how come in the other albums it was some what more angry and aahh im gonna kil this and that. And now its like look at what is around ou isnt it all buetiful.. there definetly more spiritual now and more mental and open your mind....

No Picture devon Average	#9 by devon at Oct 3, 2007 at 11:36 PM EST
	no one ever said i'm gonna kill this and that. that's stupid. who's saying that doesn't know the real thing tool are about. so. yeah. and that song, whoa, what to say...everything has already been said and the only thing i can do is agree. don't only listen to disposition but also to reflection, because these two songs are one unit. maybe disposition is about the birth and the childhood of a person, you know, very calm, relaxing and just smoothing, no difficult things at all. reflection is the life, the adult life, first because it's much longer than disposition. also the music is heavier and rising to a kind of raging state. at the end the person is realizing that life is a huge reflection, maybe a repetition, but until the end of his life, he wants to reach a bit (before i hide away => before i die?) to change that reflection because it should become a bit better than the ones before. life is getting harder and harder but in the end it's worth nothing. is it that!? i don't know. it all ends with the death. calm and relaxing as the birth. that's the reason why you can repeat these two songs over and over again. i love it. it's amazing.

No Picture spencer Wanna Be	#10 by spencer mccarthy at Oct 5, 2007 at 2:07 PM EST
	Alright, if you think about it..He's waiting for a girl to say it's over or if it's not. He says Mention this to me and Mention something, mention anything. Mention this to me, Watch the weather. Watch the weather change. He's talking about whatever he does will depend on what she says, and either way it will be a big change.

No Picture Wacko Average	#11 by Wacko Jacko at Oct 8, 2007 at 6:53 PM EST
	how his life is passing him by and hes just watching, i have no frikken clue

No Picture Jeff Average	#12 by Jeff Berg at Oct 11, 2007 at 6:53 PM EST
	To me this song is saying to just chill, and just talk about something, Maynard (genius) is saying to just let the world pass and sometimes its good to just watch the weather change, watch it all go by.

No Picture Dark Lead Player	#13 by Dark Avenger at Oct 11, 2007 at 9:57 PM EST
	Maynard is the master of brevity...i feel he's saying if you mention absolutely anything to him, watch his mood change instantly cuz he doesn't want to be fucked with right now...i think it has to do with anger because if you're angry, the slightest thing someone says can make you blow up.

No Picture Prince Alex Lead Player	#14 by Prince Alex at Oct 12, 2007 at 11:08 PM EST
	i like to think this a lover's brokenhearted plea to their significant other in a time where something will change and directly affect their relationship, like a break-up maybe? or maybe even death is the approaching outcome. i don't know. but their is such emotion in maynard's voice. it makes me hold my breath. sighs simply gorgeous.
