Right now I'm 13 but my dad took me to an insane incubus concert at TD Garden for my birthday, so I love them now. They're on Beatles level for me now.
Brandon sure can, along with writhing poetic, beautiful & spiritual MASTERPIECES! I've seen them live on every single tour (I'm at my 3rd Make Yourself 20 concert in profile pic), & Brandon's voice is still amazing & beautiful. He changed his tones & style a tad bit, but still beautiful. I just noticed your comment was 5yrs ago lol...that's me! Still listening in 2020 & till I die
Melissa missing Chris Cornell I’m not sure how or why the change in his voice but I don’t like how he sounds now. The tone of his voice isn’t as smooth. Saw them in 2019 and was hoping it was temporary. Seems not to be. He used to sound so awesome.
This is what actual talent sounds like. No processing or vocal software just straight Talent. My 15yr old daughter loves incubus & its 2024. Such a under rated band
I can’t help but get incredibly emotional when I hear this song. The lyrics are obvious that it’s a love song, but for me it takes on a different meaning. It’s about the dissonance between my past and present self. It’s a battle of depression and how I’ve lost myself. Brandon is my old self, and here he is reaching out to me, calling me out for everything that I did wrong. And here I am listening to him so selfishly in my own ways, apathetic, wondering if it gets better.
I think this perfectly describes a good poetic song, which can be viewed from different perspectives and still feel correct. It allows you to feel and think about right there where it hurts, like a medicine that taste awful but makes you feel better. There are no good or bad tears, they are where they deserve to be, and allowing feelings is a part of processing. I avoided incubus for a few years because I wasn't ready to conflict myself with some of the lyrics and saved them for when I needed them.
I think it can be interpreted in many ways, and thats what makes it so good. For me, this song deeply relates to me and my disconnect with my mom. I didn't grow up to be the child that she imagined, the strict boomer tradtionalist box of how someone should be. This caused a huge rift and fight and emotional manipulation from my mom. The lyrics, I connected with it so deeply. Can't meet me halfway, she only thinks about herself, what makes her happy and look good in front of her peers instead of my own happiness.
Idk that it's a love song at all, it's a very one sided relationship with a less than considerate person with the chorus being an ultimatum which is never going to fix a relationship, so I always took it as someone finally recognizing, demanding boundaries and recognition, but from my experience a person pushing a loved one to that point almost never ends well, but if at all then the end of love... song. Laugh
@@TheHilikus89 he is a handsome guy, but being a creative poet and writing pretty abstract lyrics that people can relate to themselves while at the same time throwing in "surface" lyrics makes it more relatable.
Incubus is one of the most underrated bands, it should be but side by side to Metallica, RHCP, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Guns and Roses however for some reason is not. I will never understand why! For me each album has at least 6-7 great songs and rest really good songs.
Saw Incubus as one of the last concerts before all this crap. They sold general tickets for $20, the place was packed. They played everything. The crowd sang every song with them. what a show, what a crowd, what a Band! My brother and I still says it was one of the best concerts we've ever been to. Long live Pine Knob !
This is one of the best songs I've ever heard. The chord progression just touches my soul. The transition into the chorus with the cello melody is simply beautiful. Brandon's 'soft' voice is like caramel. This song gives me a sense of loneliness, like it's being sung about me. That's when you know music is GOOD; when it really empathises with you
Who noticed where he forgot the next line of the song at?.....he recovered nicely. 0:37 He starts to say "You just turn your nose up in the air.".....but the verse is "you could not put pressure on the wound." So instead he says "But you Jood not put pressure on the wound"....lol True professional.....I doubt anybody even noticed it. I'm a vocalist....so I noticed it immediately and was impressed how he recovered......and killed the song.
"Mexico" You could see me reaching So why couldn't you have met me half way? You could see me bleeding And you would not put pressure on the wound. You only think about yourself... You only think about yourself... You better bend before I go on the first train to Mexico. You could see me breathing And you still kept your hand over my mouth. You could feel me seething But you just turned your nose up in the air. You only think about yourself... You only think about yourself... You better bend before I go on the first train to Mexico.
So many Incubus songs I have been able to relate to my own life over the years. More that ever this song describes my exact situation. Thank you Incubus.
If you’re feeling this song right now, please forget them and get on the train or plane to wherever your dreaming of and go have a nice time on your own.
This song hits me in the feels. And honestly who cares if they change their style? It's none of our business what a group of people want to do with their career. If you're a true fan, you'll always support them. You can't even imagine the pressure, the haters, the way to obsessed fans, and the so called fans..
I absolutely loved y’all’s performance in Jacksonville, Florida last Tuesday night , thank you for playing this and down by the river , I was the chick screaming in the far back extremely loud lol 😆 I’ve been in love with y’all’s music since I was like 13 .. I’m 35 now, #Lifetimefan right here !!!!
Um...MAN AGED BETTER THAN A FINE WINE & STILL AS BEAUTIFUL & SEXY AS EVER! If your young, ok, then I get it, but I am only 3 years younger than Brandon & to me he is still one of the most beautiful & talented pieces of art God has ever created. Like I always say, And on the 8th day God created Chris Cornell, Layne Staley, & Brandon Boyd.
Wow, I don’t know why. But this song makes me think of the relationship I had with an ex of mine from years ago. Didn’t realize many Incubus songs can be applicable to various situations.
Combined with Boyd's majestic & intoxicating outerworldly voice, Mexico is one of the most beautiful pieces of poetry ever written & perfomed. But SHIT is it hard to strum. Einziger doesn't play, especially when it comes to combining rigid & random sequencing, & is arguably the most underatted guitarist of my fellow Generation X
I saw them in 2004 live in Bham, Alabama at the Oak Mtn Amphitheater and it was one of the best shows I have ever seen live. Brandon doesn't sound any different off a track probably better if anything.
Just seeing your 3 year old post. You can see the entire concert on live Morning View Sessions we had the DVD since it came out around 2002. Sadly, the dvd escaped the house, never seen again. The special features were excellent. Brand rehearsing Drive, all you hear it his voice on mic, he’s listening through headphones.
