- Опубликовано: 28 авг 2023
- I stepped into this first time reaction/analysis to Incubus expecting some pretty harsh vocals, and I was blown away with my expectations absolutely shattered. Not only was this performance of "Wish You Were Here" beautiful, but I read in the comments of the video that it sounds so similar to the album version. That blows me away!
Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Incubus for the first time, performing "Wish You Were Here” Live.

FINALLY some Incubus
That's exactly what I was going to say
Incubus is great. Man.
I really hope she continues, because he has so much more range than this song shows.
Before bands needed auto tune and tons of backing tracks
So cool hearing professional analysis of things that were just a glimmer of emotional awareness for me at age ~14. Looking forward to more Incubus! Reminds me of two other bands with amazing vocals that I got into around that time: *Mr Big* and *Tonic.* I still go back to them all the time when I want to hear some incredible singing. Anyone else?
My favorite song of theirs is Pardon Me. If you liked Incubus enough to consider doing another song, I hope you pick Pardon Me.
I LOVED this song! I will for sure want to do more Incubus in the future, this was incredible!
My fave has to be Sick Sad Little World, from A Crow Left Of The Murder album.
That album and the Light Grenades album are my favourite albums, but all their songs and albums are soooooo good.🥰💚
@@TheCharismaticVoice definitely check out "warning", "Southern Girl", and "Mexico" even if its not for the channel.
@@stevenwatts586 Southern girl is brilliant.🥰💚
@GreenPie69 dude the solo for sick sad little world is Soooo gooood. Then it gets into pistola which is an extremely fun song but the lyrics are the best part. I skipped school to go buy crow when it came out lol
Incubus was a shining beacon in the sea of post-grunge bands in the early 2000s
*IS
*nu-metal
Brandon Boyd has one of the greatest, smoothest, most beautiful male voices of all time.
rly smoof
STRAIGHT UP!!!
Facts!
Not anymore, sadly.
Morning View in it's entirety is such an incredible album. It's a rare album you can listen to, start to finish, without being bored once.
100%!!!!
It's among my favorite albums. In a sad mood I can listen, in a good mood as well. It's has so much energy on it. You just got love it
Couldn’t agree more. Probably in my top five favorite albums.
Totally! I remember buying it when it came out, I was around 15. I listened to it on repeat for mooooonths. Especially loved passing out high to it. Especially later into the album. Would definitely put it in my top 5 most important albums of my early maturing years.
One of my favorite albums to date!
The most impressive part about this performance is how incredibly close it is to the studio version. Top tier performance.
Exactly what I was going to say! Spot on rendition.
I just saw them live for the first time in June. For a band that's been playing as long as they have, they essentially never deviated from the album versions of the songs. It was surprising and incredible, but not in a bad way. They do sound a bit "empty" compared to the fullness of the album mix, but that's just proof that they're playing everything live. Go see them if you have the chance.
Incubus is by far the tightest live band I have ever seen.
Yeah, Jose and Mike are just crazy talented. They are near perfect live. I can forgive a vocalist missing here and there, especially with fatigue or strain, but Incubus musically nails it live every time.
Agreed
I've seen Incubus live several times. They are the most clean/studio quality bands ever. It sounds like the album every time.
3 doors down , same thing....sounds like the album.
Agreed
Yes. I have seen many bands. Incubus are phenomenal live.
I see them every time I get a chance. This is my favorite band for many reasons...
Same. They were amazing
"his voice is buttery-yummy"
best quote of 2023.
I was like, “Girl, he is (or was ).” 😂
"Dig" is definitely my favorite Incubus song. A lot of his power comes out in the chorus
❤
Such a great song.
Agreed!
Dig and the warmth. Great songs
One of my all time favourites
Let’s not forget Mike’s underrated vocal harmonies.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Preach
i agree to the max with this comment
Tightest of tight.
The whole band is noteworthy
It melts me seeing someone else experiencing Incubus for the first time the same as I did. They will forever be my favorite band.
It’s like a parent watching a child open up a gift on Christmas. Knowing what’s coming in the song, I get so excited to watch her reaction. That’s why I love these videos!
They have something nobody else ever will
I know right. Such and amazing thing to randomly and unexpectedly be watching in 2023. Brightened my day for sure.
I said almost the same thing. When you see someone Enjoy Incubus for the first time...this is the cutest video.
This
Welcome to the anomaly and beautiful and timeless sound that is Incubus. You will now, for the rest of your life, find yourself coming back here from time to time.
It will never get old. In fact, you will only grow to appreciate it more and more each time you do. Until you start to marvel in complete wonder at how they were able to do it. How for a moment in time they captured lightening in a bottle and made some of the most perfectly crafted music anyone has ever created. Until you’re just simply grateful to have known of its existence.
❤❤❤
does anyone know, is the song Anna Molly suppose to be like anomaly? It's my favorite Incubus song and I have always wondered if it's a coincidence
@@Hogsqueal Haha of course! It was a play on words.
op. I couldn't have said it better
Incubus was the side track of a lot of our high school years. At no point were they ever my favorite band in high school, but they always 'made the playlist' to use the modern terms. They are one of those bands like REM that just kinda have this timeless quality to them where their music sounds as good to you at 35 as it did when you were 15. This song, (even more so Pardon me) is really really deeply rooted in my memories with more than a tinge of nostalgia. Honestly I kinda regret not appreciating how awesome it was being young when Incubus, SOAD, Tool, Deftones, etc were all active and in peak form.
Dude you hit the nail on the head. I share your sentiment 100 percent.
I agree with everything you said, except for the "not my favorite band" part, because they were absolutely one of mine! Not that your experience is somehow 'less than' or anything at all, but definitely awesome to just share the same sentiments even if our liking of them was at different levels :D
Absolutely... Crunchy groove man
100%. First I was surprised that I knew every word and melody in this song after not having heard it for so long. Then I thought back to high school and was like, nah, that makes sense!
100% agree and the same situation.
This band is the reason.. and I mean this with all my heart. The reason I'm alive today. I had a very rough battle as a teen with depression and his voice and this bands vibe kept my me from following through more then once. My life goes out to these men. Also my first live concert I ever seen. Thank you incubus
I think a lot of us can relate to this. Morning View, in particular, got me through a lot.
Incubus is the band my mum introduced me to during my high school years, which were so hard I still can't discuss it.
And they helped me get through it.
Your comment makes me think it helped her in the same way.
Solidarity, brother. I'm in the exact same boat. I still remember the first time I heard Incubus, it was 1997, just after they released Science. I was instantly hooked, obsessed even. Their music carried me through some dark times and I suspect I wouldn't have made it through if I didn't have it.
Glad you stuck it out. I hope you think the world is a better place for your being here. Cheers.
Glad you’re here with us
Not only does he have a BEAUTIFUL voice, he is one of the most gorgeous men in rock in my opinion. I had such a crush on him back in the day ❤
So did i... and I'm not even gay 😂
Same here👋🏻
I'm still crushing on him all these years later 😍
Incubus, one of the most underrated bands ever. They have so much more talent than they ever got credit for. One thing about his singing style that I don't hear many people talk about is his "runs." when he is on a note, he can hold it clear and long, but often he changes pitch up and down quickly but smoothly in a way it's hard to specify what is happening. I don't know what to call it, but listen as he sings, he raises and drops pitch quickly but super smoothly within his notes. (finished watching, you did mention this, so thanks for noticing!)
totally, i think they are the best
That’s one of my favorite things about Brandon’s voice! He has some pretty ass runs.
To paraphrase you, his vocal quality is amazingly beautiful in a way that's "hard for me to specify." :)
Such a great band. Criminally underrated. Lyrically it's a beautiful song. "The sky resembles a black lit canopy with holes punched in it".
More Incubus please!
backlit canopy, holes punched in a canopy with lights behind it. yeehaw
Best alternative band of all time
His lyrical imagery puts you right next to that sparkling blue blanket of water, that star filled black sky, and feeling out of control and weightless on a rollercoaster. Not to mention his voice is pure perfection. Truly great song in every way possible!!
the ocean looks like a thousand diamonds strewn across a blue blanket
Best lines of the song. 👍🏾
Make Yourself was a revolutionary album. Incubus was something special in rock music. Mike Einziger is a wholly underrated guitarist.
One of my favorite albums all time ❤
Whole heartedly agree- one of the best guitarist there is and extremely innovative
Mikey is the shit. I would consider him the not so secret secret weapon of Incubus, but all the other guys are just amazing as well. Incredible players, all of them (Don't know much about DJing, but I'm sure Kilmore is also great at what he does, plus he learned the piano later on to contribute further)
So, given that Mikey's guitar playing is obviously full of amazing textures and soundscapes, I'd award Jose the honourable title of Secret Weapon, bc fewer people pay attention to the drums, but they are a super important factor in the enjoyment of a song
@@muenchhausenmusicJose is definitely the secret weapon, what a beast of a drummer 👍
Mike is an amazing guitarist. Feel, tone, riffs, top tier
Anna Molly is an INCREDIBLE Incubus song for its vocals.... there's something MAGICAL about the rhythm and cadence of that song. the music is beautiful, eerie, exciting all at the same time!
the music video is unnerving as well ! shivers!
OMG!!! LOVE LOVE LOOOOOVE THAT SONG!!
Mike Einzinger, the guitarist, is a composer. And I believe classically trained. He's done a few movie soundtracks with full symphonies. He adds so much depth to his "normal" rock songs it makes it amazing to listen to.
He does NOT get enough mention!
Correct me if im wrong but didnt he also work with childish gambino?
@@DiSxJohnyyeah, also he was the compositor of one of the greatest EDM hits of the 2010s with Avicii: Wake Me Up. He's a musical gift.
@@Itzzy515not just that but he also plays for Hans Zimmer.
THIS RIGHT HERE!!! MIKEY IS A FREAKING BEAST!!!
The whole album of Morning View is incredible. I still listen to the whole thing in one sitting over 20 years later. It’s a great example of a perfect, timeless record.
Actually...Make Yourself, Morning View, and Light Grenades I can listen to the entire album straight through over and over
@@Jjoker74even SCIENCE and A Crow have some of the best songs of their entire catalog. They are the Game of Thrones season 5 of their discography.
Yesss morning view blows me away every single time ❤❤❤
@jarlwhiterun7478 I feel like crow is where Mike's chops on guitar really came through. Love that album
👍
The way this lady captures the innocence of a child with the vocal knowledge of a professor is quite amazing! If this isn't for show she has to be one of the most gentle souls on earth to be around. She's a joy to watch and hear speak.
Innocence*
@@jarlwhiterun7478 just couldn't help yourself 🤦♂️😂
paet of the draw to her channel for me as well.
Yes🎉
Literally every album is a timeless masterpiece.
This has been my favorite band since I was 10 years old, it’s been 23 years. Watching someone fall in love with them is bringing me such joy.
Omg... Incubus is SUCH a good, underrated band. their writing is just SO creative, and their Mike's guitar voicings are so funky and imaginative. and Brandon's voice is just fire. They started out as a funk band, then went into nu-metal and then mellowed out, so there's tons of different iterations of Incubus.
I wouldn't really say they were a "funk" band or a "nu metal" band, their earlier stuff was funkier but they were always rocky and they never were really nu metal either imo. But I agree in that they are awesome.
Mike was one of, if not the top influence of my guitar playing growing up. He got me so interested in the technical side of sound and layering effects. As for Brandon - he has such a pure voice. His live vocals are nearly identical to album recordings - if not better. After hearing so many groups live and how the vocals change slightly, it was incredible to hear how unaffected Brandon sounded.
This is all extremely true! Love them like crazy!!
@@buttsbuttsbutts68 Yup, Primus mixed with Faith No More
Underrated? They were huge in the 90s/2000s. Unknown to new generation maybe, but certainly never underrated.
Nothing beats hearing an amazing song for the first time, than watching someone else hear it for the first time.
For real.. I loved this for her. 🥹🙃
Right?! I love that I stumbled upon this channel
"I miss you" is another vocal masterpiece by incubus
Mexico is one of my favorites alone with I miss you. Very much my teenage heartbreak anthems lol
oof. I forgot about that song. So good.
I've been an Incubus fan since I was 13 (36 now) and this was a breath of fresh air. I've watched this performance a million times and the excitement you showed is contagious and it's making me notice things I didn't and wasn't able before. I've fallen in love with this band again. Thanks for this.
Her enthusiasm is so contagious. And I think fans of Incubus or whatever band she's currently listening to will really appreciate it. Probably why she has so many subs, she's awesome.
Same. Do you feel as old as I do?
I feel like you would TRULY appreciate Dig... Brandon's vocal range is much more on display in this one, and shows how much his voice matures over a relatively short period of time. (4 years)... His growth as a vocalist is truly incredible. Being a fan of theirs for 25ish years, I've got to hear them grow SO much.
Dig is a really nice song.
Seconded - hearing Dig affects me in such a big way and I can't really explain why. His voice and the song itself just gives me all the feels.
Dig definitely is a great tune that displays Brandon's range. My favorite song of theirs
Dig. Incubus. Live from look alive 🎉
Dig is great. I love Are you in as well.
You would love so many of their songs! Check out “Drive” or “Stellar” or “Pardon Me” or “Warning” or “I Miss You” next. Brandon Boyd has one of the best voices in rock! Their studio versions have absolutely beautiful mixes too 👍🏻
drive, stellar and pardon me got me through high school. whole album is amazing
I Miss You +100000000
Science was their best album ever made imo
"Dig" is also another really good song of theirs I'd add to the list.
And yeah, that one and "Pardon Me" have long been my favorites from them. And the instrumental parts of "Wish You Were Here".
I miss you for that breath control on that long you. I used to practice that for hours
Aqueous Transmission has always been my favorite Incubus track. Such a cool sound. Incubus is so unique and great.
👌👌
Absolutely 💯
Cheers 🍻 to that. When my then girlfriend played it for me for the first time, my mind was blown. Then she took me to an incubus concert when I saw Echo performed live for the first time. Been hooked ever since, and she’s never left my side yet.
Watching you fall in love with Incubus and Brandon’s vocals brought me so much joy. I did not expect that from this video at all.
Brandon Boyd is an amazing singer. His lyrics are also often very thoughtful and well written.
It’s hard to go wrong with Incubus. Drive and Warning are also really good songs with thoughtful lyrics.
One of my favorite band of all time!
My. All-time fav band .. I have seen these guys live from early dive bar days to big arenas man .. festivals..yep those 2 followed these guys any bill they were on Brandon is beautiful, but let's not forget the entire band is AWESOME 2023 here, and they still have few to compare. Yes, Alice and Tool, unfortunately Lane RIP and Maynard has just . Well, he's just everywhere and no where but Inc. Just forever Inc. Really liked AAF and 311 back in the day but they compare NOT
Incubus is one of my favorite bands of ALL time and this and Aqueous Transmission and Dig are some of my favorite songs of theirs. They’re so ethereal and stunning. It feels like just being drawn out gently into space and just floating. I love them so much and Brandon’s voice is so beautiful, and his looks match 🥰
Yes! "Dig" is such an emotionally sincere song. Like a hymn. Seriously great lyrics. Makes me want to be a better person. I could hear that once a day and never get sick of the message.
Aqueous Transmission is my favorite song of theirs as well! It shows the wide range of talent and innovation that this band truly has.
To me, Brandon has always seemed like a guy who really feels what he sings. You can tell the sentiments are genuine, and you can't help but close your eyes and sway with the dude. I've loved Incubus since they were starting out, and it's always like returning to an old friend when you come back to them.
He is a really underrated rock singer. Incubus kinda gets an unfair rep because they were just so good and radio-friendly with some of their catalog as they found their footing. But it's not fair. Their first two albums were almost a funk/punk/nu-metal Mashup. Then they found mainstream success for a couple albums, then the lineup changed a bit and they kinda fell off, but their albums from "Fungus Among Us" through "Morning View" were straight fire.
@@boddaboom77 Their album S.C.I.E.N.C.E. is so rad. I love "Glass" from that album.
Yes finally some incubus! “Nice to know you” and “11 am” are more of my favorites from them 🔥🔥🔥
I like Summer Romance and the acoustic version of A Certain Shade of Green
I have been in love with this man’s voice and music for twenty years and to see you witness the magic for the first time seriously made my day. 😍
Music just isn’t made like this anymore. The fact they sound almost identical to the studio version, shows how good they are. Most bands nowadays suck live
This song is a masterclass on simple, beautiful lyric writing as well:
"I dig my toes into the sand
The ocean looks like a thousand diamonds strewn across a blue blanket
I lean against the wind, pretend that I am weightless
And in this moment I am happy
And I... Wish you were here ..."
Thank you so much for the video. 😊
7 AM
The garbage truck beeps as it backs up
And I start my day thinking about what I’ve thrown away
Should I push rewind?
The credits traverse signifying the end,
But I missed the best part, could we please go back to the start?
They definitely have a way with words.
A decade ago, I never thought I would be
At 23, on the verge of spontaneous combustion, woe is me!
But I guess that it comes with the territory
An ominous landscape of never-ending calamity
I need you to hear, I need you to see
That I have had all I can take
And exploding seems like a definite possibility to me
So pardon me while I burst into flames
I've had enough of the world and its people's mindless games
So pardon me while I burn and rise above the flame
Pardon me, pardon me, I'll never be the same
Their song “If Not Now, When?” Is one of Brandon’s best vocal showcases, amazing song.
Thanks I hadn’t heard it (too new for me lol) but heck yeah, gorgeous!
@@kristenh8 it’s so slept on, it’s ironic considering it’s the title track of the album too.
Absolutely agree. Just beautiful
In the Company of Wolves is probably slightly a better vocal showcase than If Not Now, When, IMO. Both are good but but Wolves.
That whole album is underrated
Incubus is my favorite and I loved how much you paused to appreciate the instrumentals in the beginning ❤🙏🏼
Einziger is one of the most underrated guitarists. The things that guy does is insane.
If you like Incubus but aren't familiar with their album titled S.C.I.E.N.C.E. this is something special that doesn't usually hit mass production. It was when the band decided to treat musical genres as if their individual pieces on the musical Rubik's cube and tried many combinations that they thought were interesting. Definitely a must listen for anybody who likes the sound Incubus creates.
Yep, that’s my favourite album of theirs, a certain shade of green, redefine and vitamin are absolute bangers!
S.C.I.E.N.C.E. Is a brilliant album! My friends and I listened to it front to back for months when it came out.
100% concur. A certain shade of green was my first incubus track. Absolutely amazing album and song.
I’ve mentioned it before but you should also check out protest the hero and their song tandem. Talk about moving lyrics matched with an amazingly powerful voice
I would kill for a literal rubix cube with incubus album covers instead of colors.
Their live shows are amazing, his voice is always on point. Other great songs are Warning, Pardon me, Pistola, Dig, Anna Molly, Promises promises, Defiance, Megalomaniac, Drive and Stellar
Under my Umbrella!
And Love Hurts
ANNA MOLLY is one song that has a lot to talk about
I think it's kind of impossible to make a bad list of Incubus songs. And if you start making a good list, it's hard to stop adding songs to it.
Incubus has to be still one of those really good band from the 2000s. I literally feel like I’m literally transported back to a warm feeling from my teenage years whenever I listen to them.
Brandon Boyd is definitely in my top 10 vocals of all time. 😍
I always feel like the verses are a calm ocean and then a big wave hits you in the chorus. Incubus always have epic middle eight sections. Goosebumps every time I hear it. They are one of my favourite bands.
Bro…… 👏🏼
I read that as, 'the verses are a calm ocean and then a big wave hits you in the Incubus'. Then my brain caught up.
They blew up when I was in high school and I remember all of these teenage girls just going crazy over Incubus. Great voice, good looks, and youthful. They have their own little corner of the late 90's / early 00's Alternative Rock scene.
I fell in total love with Brands Boyd when I saw this video for the first time I never get tired of it never
Elizabeth is amazing, bringing her appreciation of what artists do to others.
They made such a swift change from S.C.I.E.N.C.E. and it was quite magical and melodic, with a few remnants from the past.
Still one of their best albums tho.
S.C.I.E.N.C.E. is an incredible album.
@@hegemonycricket2182 By far their best. Crazy creativity.
Certain Shade of Green is one of my favorite songs ever
they made a major change BEFORE SCIENCE too. Fungus Amongus is practically Primus
1:01 That "ooh" is a sign that you will love their album Morning View in its entirety. Those sounds are so iconic from that album.
I thought that “ooh” was her becoming every teenage girl in 1999 when they saw Brandon Boyd for the first time 😆
The "Morning View" album is a vocal showcase!
It’s really a perfect album
@@lukede6555I've been oohing since 1999, every time I see BB. 😂😍
@@cnamongrl 🤣🤣🤣
And they're FINALLY releasing a new album. Bout damn time. Also, give Aqueous Transmission a go too, from Incubus (live works, record works).
Such a sweet song. Definitely give it a try!
Aqueous Transmission is that song that always takes me to the most tranquil and relaxed head space I could ever imagine. Truly a unique and engaging work of art.
A new album?!?
One of the things I love about a lot of Incubus' style is that it doesn't feel rushed. There are songs of course that are more fast paced and in your face but it always has this dimension of chill to it. Also Brandon Boyd has some incredible talent and the rest of the band are top rate yet underrated as mucisians I think. They have a really great groove to them always and there's nothing really like them out there.
Saw these guys on their “Morning View” album tour, and it was an incredible show. Having floor seats made me feel like I was in a living room watching these guys jam out. The sound scapes they create are fantastic. Their guitarist, Mike Einziger, is very talented and underrated, imo.
Would’ve loved to have experienced that!!
Every reaction video she does is like we’re all experiencing it again for the first time.
She is wonderful bro.
Exactly that! That is how I feel when I watch her! So happy to have stumbled upon her channel in a late night
Yes! I love watching these because she has the words to describe the things I like about songs that I don’t have. I’d say “this cool because it’s like ‘wish yoooooou were here.’” And she’s like “when he sings the chorus there’s an airy butterness.”
I didn’t realize it, but that’s what I wanted to say. LOL.
I love when there is such harmony in a band it's not just the singer it's also the musicians the sounds they make and how all sounds and vocal go smoothly together to make a song and like in every profession you find people who just work and some other people who not just work but they are artists in what they do
They are what I call "surfer rock". Where it has that rock grind, but the vibe and story of the song is very positive.
I think one of Brandon Boyd’s most underrated vocal performances is the song “Here In My Room.” It’s a beautiful song that really highlights his range, and there’s a great live recording of it on here.
Agreed. "Oil and Water" also comes to mind.
Multiple songs, every album from Make Yourself on forward showcase his voice as it grew and evolved.
I think If Not Now When showcases Brandon's voice
One thing I always noticed about Brandon's singing was that he's always seems relaxed. He may be dancing around and moving but his singing has nothing forced in it, even hitting high notes. He makes it seem like he can sing all day without breaking a sweat. Amazing band!
I felt this same way almost 20 years ago and am grateful that people feel the same way still all these years later!
I saw Incubus for the first time live this year. I was really there for another band that I am a superfan of, but Incubus stole the show for me. The live performance is just astounding!
Saw them live about 6 months ago, they STILL sound like the album live. Even after this much time.
They’re SOOOOOO good live! It’s life-changing.
You were able to articulate every single reason why this song is beloved by its fans. It is genuinely atmospheric and ethereal, and it transports you into another dimension. Much like Tool, Deftones and Pink Floyd 🖤🤘🖤
Hearing it again, it had a heavy Pink Floyd and Black Sabbath influence. Probably because they were there when it was recorded. Jimmy Page drove that sound. I don't think it was for admiration of Floyd, more of what Jimmy wanted to do with a synthesizer. My musical opinion..... the lyrics could have been more crafted and refined. But really, this was all recorded live and improvised. Going for melody and harmony rather than poetry.
I CANT BELIEVE IM JUST NOW SEEING THIS!!!
This is one of my favorite songs of all time. I literally wrote a paper analyzing this piece in 2002. I’m so excited to see you discovering it!
Brandon Boyd has the best vocal range and the quality of his voice is psychedelic. Been a fan since a kid. 🔥🎶
I had a big Incubus phase. They felt so fresh and still are, there is something unique about their sound, can't pinpoint what exactly due to lack of musical knowledge.
Tempo, simplicity, ambience, melody, major keys with minor moments, jazz, positive lyrics, great singing, etc. They’re not trying to do too much or be too dark. Good mood band
Incubus and Red Hot Chili Peppers just have a vibe about them that no other bands have ever recreated. Just like a feeling of a time in the late 90s early 00s on the west coast of America.
Over 20 years later, I'm still in the phase
Brandon is honestly one of the goats, so expressive and precise you really feel what he is putting down.
I love watching her discover Incubus for the first time! I discovered them at 19 - I’m 42 now. This is my fave song and fave album… there’s really nothing like it. Brandon Boyd does have an “anytime” voice. I’ve seen them in concert more times than I can count, and they NEVER disappoint. Fave band of all time! ❤
Incubus was such a huge part of my youth. So good.
“A crow Left of the Murder”
, one of my fav albums by them.
There’s something so warm and comforting about Incubus’ songwriting and especially with Brandon’s voice! Please do more Incubus!!!
Brandon's voice is like butter. A really good showcase of his smoothe vocals is the song Aqueous Transmission. It's incredible. So happy you're covering Incubus now!
I found a 3-hour looping version of Aqueous Transmission and I just put that on sometimes in the background when I need to chill out.
This performance is a masterpiece.
Brandon Boyd has an incredible voice. As heard in songs like Mexico, Sick sad Little World, Aqueous Transmission, and "The Warmth" is my all time favorite. 😊
I would loooove to see her review Aqueous Transmission. It is one of my ultimate "relax and vibe" songs.
Sick sad little world is so underrated, one of their best
Personally, I think Brandon is worthy of Tea Time. The whole Wish you were here album is phenomenal
I think it’s called Morning View, but I know what you meant. I loved the album when it came out and got made fun of for it compared to their first few. Time tells that it is probably their best album.
Yeah, a Tea Time interview would be awesome!! I like that album, but I gravitate towards Light Grenades more
Tea Time with White Jesus 😅
@@RockinLocks4uGreat record also.
I second Team Time with Brandon Boyd!
Their live shows are so simple yet so perfectly executed. A band and music that just stands up all by itself. My favourite band of all time.
I've seen them 4 times. Greatest live show I've ever seen. Every. Single. Time.
Except the poser crowd
@@singularitywatch me too! Been my favorite band for 20 years, took my daughter to see them last year and it was so awesome to experience that with her for the first time.
This entire album performance is excellent.
If you want to hear a fantastic composition, “just a phase” from the same performance is absolutely beautiful, I think it showcases his voice the best as well
One of my favorite ever also, Just A Phase!
The whole Morning View album is PHENOMENAL! Mantastic!!!!
Incubus has a great sound, full of depth and a combination of styles. Absolutely love this band!
2 albums in thier entirety from Incubus Morning View and Make Yourself. You can any song from either album and really dig into his vocal capabilities. A seriously underrated band.
2 of the most meaning and powerful albums I’ve ever experienced.
So fun watching her fall in love with them like we all before.
This video brought me more joy than almost anything else I’ve ever seen on YT
In my 37 years I’ve yet to find any album as good or as complete as both Make Yourself and Morning View. I will always believe those are two of the best albums EVER. Pure magic.
Incubus... My spiritual band!!!! 🤩🤩🤩
“If not now, when?” Some of the best vocals I’ve ever heard. Incubus is untouchable.
👌👌👌
I love Incubus!!! Brandon has amazing vocal control and range! Dig is my favorite song, but PLEASE do more Incubus because they have so many great songs!
Same here Dig is my favorite.
Dig is phenomenal.
Dig is amazing. Always gives me goosebumps.
I hope she gets around to reviewing DIG. Brandon's voice is butter.
I love that she obviously instantly crushed after hearing his voice.
Incubus got me into some good music when I was 12 playing guitar hero, thank you Brandon Boyd 🤝🏻💯💯
Really appreciate that she can speak about his voice for 21 whole minutes. At last there are words to explain the ovarian explosion that Brandon Boyd’s voice causes me to have since my teens
My ovaries explode every time I hear his voice too, and I’m a 37 year old man
I love this song. I probably love "Drive" even more, and how it showcases how great Brandon's natural instrument is.
Dig was the first song I from them I fell in love with. Light Grenades isn't talked about much (at least as a great album), but it's the album that introduced me to them so it will always have a special place in my heart. Drive is my favorite song because it's personal to me. Brandon has that great ability to mix intensity with melody. The transitions are never jarring. Their music is strangely intense, melancholy, and uplifting all at the same time. Hope you add more of them to your reaction list!
There was a time when I was obsessed with this song and this album. It just had an atmosphere all its own
I just saw them last sunday. Brandons voice hasnt changed. They are amazing live. They are so tight and precise. Mike (guitarist) is an incredible human. One of the best live shows I've seen 20 years ago and last week.
The poetry in this particular song is astonishing for a rock band. It's the first thing that made me notice Incubus. That and the really liquid and elastic vocals.
The incubus catalog phenomenal. Theres no other band like them. My favorite
Incubus is very Melanchole as you said! They have such a positive flow, vibe and melody in their songs. It’s what makes them so unique.
I am so here for this band. Such a unique sound, great lyricist and an amazing drummer. Produced banger after banger.
I had a hard time getting into incubus until I saw them live with Hoobastank opening, the music just opened up to me and they became one of my favorite bands. Warning is my favorite song from this album. Make Yourself is in my to 10 albums of all time.
Incubus was considered part of Nu Metal. They became very close with System of a Down while touring together on the Ozzfest tour. Incubus thanked System of a Down in the album liner notes.
The local radio station where I lived in the early 2000s decided to totally revamp. They ran a spot and said, "we're going to play Hoobastank's 'The Reason' on infinite repeat until all of you call in and tell us what you want to hear us play from now on."
And then they did.
@@nickwallette6201legends, hahaha.
That was a great tour!
I am from New Orleans and I was lucky enough to get tickets for me, My husband & our 2 adult daughters 35 and 28 and their boyfriends. It was 4 years ago this November 2023. Incubus was 1 of the bands, when my girls were younger, grew up listening to. It was such a beautiful, memorable night for our family!!!
"Pardon Me" by Incubus is another fantastic gem from this period
