"Vicarious" is the first single from American progressive rock band Tool's fourth full-length studio album, 10,000 Days. Debuting on April 17, 2006 on commercial radio, the seven minute song entered the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart at #2.[1] The single's peak at #55 on the Billboard Hot 100 is the highest chart peak of any song by the band in America. It received a nomination for Best Hard Rock Performance at the 49th Annual Grammy Awards.[2]
The song features a 5/4 riff[3] and describes the vicarious thrill the public receives from hearing about the misfortunes of others in the media, despite their refusal to admit it.[4]
