"Hush" is a song by Tool from their 1992 EP Opiate. The song was first recorded on a self-titled demo tape variously known as Toolshed and 72826, recorded in mid-1991. It was the first song that helped establish the band's reputation.
The lyrics protest censorship, which is a recurring theme in Tool songs.
"Hush" is a song written by country music artist Joe South for Billy Joe Royal, who had recorded several other songs written and produced by South. South cited the gospel song "Hush, Somebody's Calling My Name" (a minor hit for Bobby Darin in 1960) as an influence in writing Hush.
Particularly notable about this track is the wordless vocal chorus sung between the instrumental passages, which takes its melody from a small part of The Beatles' epic track "A Day in the Life" from their Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album. Although it was written as a country music song, most recordings have been rock or pop in style.
