My fiance passed away last year and would always sing Incubus to me. Its the first time I've been able to listen to this song since losing him. Rest In Paradise to all those gone too soon. I wish you were here babe, I love you.
I second that emotion! "Warning" "State of the Art", too many Incubus songs to mention. A great one of their albums. Another one is "Morning View" with "Are you in" and a bunch of others.
This song is timeless....when my husband died, this song first came out....when my son died last year, this is the only song that kept me alive.....thank you for singing such a timeless balm for one's soul!
@Vishan678 life just goes by yet music like this can bring us back like it’s a neuroplasticity time machine. Hope you close your eyes after reading this and remember some happy and some sad memories. May you find nostalgic fond memories and feel good, take care 38 and counting!
Today is my 44th birthday & 2yrs 1mo 7days ago I lost my everything, my north star, my solid ground, my lungs full of air, my eternity wrapped in a smile, my existence summed up in 3 words, & for always I love you my Ellie I miss you more today than I ever have, & to our child I never got to meet I'll meet you with your beautiful mother in the forever after... 2yrs 1mo 7days too long without the two of you, I'll never let go, I'll never forget your smile, I'll always be your UBi in my arms for always in my heart for all time I love you my dearest rest well for as long as I remain you'll never be truly dead always alive in my heart in my soul!
Je wi i agree. I don’t know if it’s just my age but I feel like the 90’s were the peak. Things seem to be degrading these days. Not music, but society in general.
So relatable, i am 27 now and listening to this song after years while being drunk alone, memories resurfacing, i can only remember how happy i could be from just listening to a song after waiting for half an hour to download it. Now the internet is at my disposal, i dont know what to do, i feel lost.
I’m 16, yet I feel and understand everything your saying. These days Music is all about looks and stupid things that make you relate to (getting someone pregnant, violence, or drugs and alcohol). I can only relate to what was from the past, with the occasional saving grace from these days.
Not all, but a lot of people gave up to their dreams, chose to walk barefoot in eggshells instead of warm sand and are now convincing other to do the same. Thankfully you are still free to choose if that kind of path is ok for your short life.
Its crazy that Brandon Boyd wrote this song to describe a feeling a pure joy that he wished he could share with someone, yet most of us listening relate this song to longing and loss. Whatever your reason for listening just remember that a random stranger loves you so much he wanted to share his pefect joy.
I get the pure joy feeling too from this song, but unfortunately those times are long in the past so I spent the time reminiscing of 10 years ago and wishing I was here with the old me.
I lost my wife of 44 years back in 2019, so everything is now "past tense". I appreciate Brandons intentions but as with all things, context is all, so my reason for taking this song to my heart is that it articulates, far more eloquently than I could, how much I wish for her to be back with me, or frankly for me to be with her

My best friend of 7 years just passed away 2 weeks ago. I still don't know what to make of it, everyday seems so unreal. This song would come on from time to time when we would kick it & I wouldn't pay much attention to it other than just jamming to it. The day he passed away this was the first song that came on when I turned on the car. I couldn't help but cry like a baby. I feel he spoke to me with this song, he struggled alot through life & this song brought me peace knowing hes okay. I wish i couldve saved him. My brother shaggy, i miss you man forever. You're counting ufos now man. Ill see you in the next life. I love you.
I've been there my friend. My best friend died also, 14 years ago - he loved this band. And, as I write this - my other "best friend in the world" is lying right now, as of this writing, in intensive care in the UK - it turns out that AIDS is not a transmissible disease - but a condition from a lifestyle choice. Who'd have thought - (except me) - who was called a "conspiracy theory nut" for so long.... Too many VERY HARD drugs/no sleep for days on end/too much alcohol, massive amounts of amyl nitrate etc etc etc ...Who would've thought. I wonder who was behind the pushing of the narrative that it was a transmissible condition == HIV.... ??? Oh wait, it was Anthony Faucci. What are the odds????? WAKE THE F**** UP, people.
My 25 year old son died of a heroin overdose one month ago in Milwaukee Wi. The lead singer of incubus looks a lot like him. God I wish he was here! It didn't have to end like this.
I don't have any grown up stories with loss, but I was a kid in WI when Incubus was big. I'm so sorry for what you're in right now. People shouldn't have to go through that. I hope you can start to heal from it and feel as strong as you can very soon. Take care.
Very sorry for your loss addiction is such a powerful and life consuming demon that mamy dont realize just how fast herion and meth completely consume you and how extremely difficult it is to get sober and how weak minded and shell of a person you become. I suffer the same illness and have had to many friends die its an everyday struggle and so evil. Its an epidemic of its own and there needs to be severe changes in treatment opportunities ect.. my heart n love goes out to you
My condolences Kim. Heroin is the fucking devil, I’ve lost a best friend to it. But no parent should have to ever bury their own child. I hope you keep his light in your heart forever.
My sister passed away from a heroin overdose on 3-27-20 at the age of 29...we played this song as we carried her casket to the cemetary...i wish she was here....hugs♡btw she passed in Black River Falls, WI
In the comments, I didn't expect to see such sadness for such a positive and light-hearted song. But I get it. We all remember when we were younger and listening to Incubus, with nothing but the future in front of us. And then life happened. And it hit us all in the face. And all we want is to go back to simpler times. I think the word that describes our nostalgia obsession best is longing. We are longing for the heaviness to lift.
Jesus Christ this song is masterfully put together. The nice distortion of electric guitars, the nice drum beat, the acoustic guitars transitioning in sounds awesome mixed with the distortion, the scratching of the turn tables gives a nice hip flavour. The vocals are perfect. Flawless song. Love it. The early 2000s bands had such amazing tones.
There's something about all of Incubus' songs that make me feel sad but hopeful at the same time. Some of these songs have seen me through some dark times. Forever appreciate this song and this band.
+C Lebs You literally took the words right out of my mouth. I feel sad due to the mistakes in the past yet hopeful because I have learned from them and know I won't make the same mistakes again :)
"The world's a roller coaster, and I'm not strapped in. Well mabye I should hold with care but my hands up busy in the air!" That has to honestly be my favorite part of the song, I keep going to that exact part just to hear that guitar. Keep on going, Incubus! ❤️
My younger brother committed suicide last weekend by overdosing on something. He was found with headphones on, presumably listening to something. This is his youtube account. He made a playlist containing 6 songs that was edited the day he passed. This is one of the 6 songs. With the method he used, he was dead after about 30 minutes, probably unconscious around 12 minutes. I like to think that it was peaceful for him with his music on. I love you Myles, I'll miss you everyday for the rest of my life.
It's been 42 days since you passed mother and all I want is for you to be here!!! 48 years was not enough time, not near enough. If you're reading this and your mom is still alive go tell her you love her RIGHT NOW do not hesitate. Do not talk yourself out of it GO NOW!!! Mother I will always be your baby boy 1-15-2020
Some of the best memories of my mom is listening to Incubus on the way to the beach or a waterpark. She passed away in 2009: still think of our great adventures whenever I hear this song or any of Incubus. Grateful to be here and grateful to have experienced a great mother.
Fuckkkkkkk my mum passed 2009 as well and everything you mentioned after that resonates strongly As well.. damn...what a comment too read @ 4:15:am not being able to sleep as usual and being sooooo outta my mind with depression n loneliness, I was thinking VERY dark thoughts til listening to this then scrolling comments n stumbling Pon this particular 1...thanks Sean!!!...
God man I used to drive around with my Mom, or she would drive around with me rather, and we would listen to this album all the time every day. This song reminds me of her beautiful smile. God bless y'all hope you're having a nice day. 🙂
Before I had my first son, I prayed that this song would play, and it actually did when I went into labor. It was the only thing that got me through it. Then my grandfather died at the start of Covid and it reminded me of him too. So this song is so important to me. Thank you!
I signalled Brandon with my lighter during the UFO part of this song when they played Manchester Apollo, UK, during the Morning View tour (we were front row dead centre on the balcony). I got a smile and a thumbs from him. Still makes me smile. In that moment I was happy.
Sorry to hear that! Man, life sure has some unexpected turns some time. One day at a time "bro" I am working on, it may never come out, but I filmed myself alot when I was dealing with all the deaths last year that came my way. I was calling a segment "Redneck Bob Walks and Talks" I was just talking about the "SQUATTERS", my emotions, everyday stuff and how I was dealing with it in many different ways. I also have done a couple of "My Bessy Girl" episodes. I got her (Border Collie) from my dad's widow after he passed last year. She has been like an angel watching over me. Thanks Dad for driving 5 1/2 hours to rescue her. Then 5 years later, God needed you in heaven to drive his semi truck and fly that helicopter you visited me in with Jesus in the passenger seat glowing so bright it was obvious who it was. I couldn't look at his face, I would have gone blind. I am looking forward to seeing you both hopefully not before my work is done here. :) Death is such a sad thing.

My older brother took his own life, when I was deployed overseas... and this song brings me to tears every time because it was the first Incubus song he showed me and I’m still in love with it
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 Happy I wish you were here I wish you were here I wish you were here I wish you were here I lay my head onto the sand The sky resembles a back-lit canopy with holes punched in it I'm counting UFO's, I signal them with my lighter And in this moment I am happy Happy I wish you were here I wish you were here I wish you were here Wish you were here The world's a roller coaster And I am not strapped in Maybe I should hold with care But my hands are busy in the air saying I wish you were here I wish you were I wish you were here I wish you were here I wish you were here Wish you were here
Holy crap this world is filled with so much pain. I am glad so many of you have gotten sober. I did that a long time ago, so I know how hard that can be on a person. I'm just missing my dad. I have kids he never got to meet and I have so many questions only he could answer. . . What should I be teaching these kids? I love you you, and I wish you were here.
We were asking my grandmother's preacher to play " Wish you were here" for her funeral. There is a gospel group that has a song with the same title. The preacher so seriously asked, " Wish you were here by Pink Floyd or Incubus?" I choked down my smile and said, " No sir, by the Kingsmens." I knew then he was a good preacher...lol.
Your preacher must be an 80s Baby, I remember when this song came out in the early Naughties (00s). I was in Sydney a few months ago, a city I was born & raised in. So much has changed & I used to listen to this song on my walkman, it was played on the radio alot back in 2001 & 2002. Oh how music flashes back memories. Songs like this allow me to remember the past.
The pre-verse stuff (0:33 - 0:45) sounds like a dream, so smooth, the ambient guitars that sound djent-ish in retrospect and the nu metal-ish scratching go so well together, so smooth so celestial.
I lost my friend I knew since I was 17 I’m 29 now and it’s been 3 years since his passing and everyday feels so different and surreal , he mostly listen to hip hop and rap but when we would hang out I would put him on to this kind of sound and he’ll just take everything in . I remember him closing his eyes in awe with his fist bumping , jamming to this . Amazed there was such good music out there that was different to what he normally listened to. I miss you Alan , wish u we’re here bumping this with me
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 happy I wish you were here I wish you were here I wish you were here I wish you were here I lay my head onto the sand The sky resembles a backlit canopy With holes punched in it I'm counting UFOs I signal them with my lighter And in this moment I am happy happy I wish you were here I wish you were here I wish you were here Wish you were here The worlds' a roller coaster And I am not strapped in Maybe I should hold with care But my hands are busy in the air saying I wish you were here I wish you were I wish you were here I wish you were here I wish you were here Wish you were here
Yes, theres something about the lyrics It sets a mood and atmosphere of being one with nature, on a beach, you may be alone, you might even be surrounded by your friends and strangers, but you are ambient, and grateful to be alive, and wishing someone you love was there with you, because you know they would love it too Been there many timed
cracked black pepper and rock salt I love everything about your paragraph Those are the words I was looking for when I feel the lyrics to the song But just could never explain it❤️ You interpreted my emotions and so many others so easily
My sister recently passed away and we always listened to incubus together.. Now I am left to listen to them by myself and I just rlly wish she was here.. 💔
I didnt want to like this, but it's the only way I can send love your way bro. Hope everything gets better. Dont know what I'd do without my sisters and brothers.
So sorry for your loss 💔👭 I also lost my sister 2 months ago, 46 years old she didn't wake up 😢💔 wish you were here Carla miss you so very much love you forever 👭
My son turned me onto this song before he deployed to Afghanistan as a machine gunner. My heart hurt so bad, but I was so proud of his mission. Love hurts, but without love, I couldn't have survived his calling.
Your son is still doing what he loved. Standing guard over you and all of us in the name of God, Love and Country. Its all love. And his spirit will always stand guard in our hearts. Just listen to the wind. Sometimes youll hear a howl at certain times. A fierce but loving protector. I thank him and you for your service. You helped me without knowing it. Love you.
I hear this song and I can't help but thinking back to the early years in Iraq driving over the dunes and remembering lost friends that didn't come back home.
My Grandson was born sleeping last week. Man, my heart hurts with the what ifs. Thank you for your music, I just know it's going to help me through this. It always has.
Isn't it funny how you don't realize you're truly happy until it passes and then your stuck with the memories. I lost my best friend Doosk after 28 years and millions of good times and memories. RIP save me a spot I'll be there sooner or later. Love you bro.
This was my shit when it came out and still is and I'm black as if it matters. Music has no color. Wish the world was like this. We'd all be happy. RIP Mom's, miss you dearly...wish you were still here! Love you all Beautiful American Folks and People's across the Globe🤜🤛😭😍🇺🇸
This song has always made me cry - even before my husband passed away a few months ago. Now i still listen to it & i still cry - it’s just so beautiful & tragic. Plus it’s universal. Surely most everyone has someone that this lovely song reminds them of. Can’t help thinking that there’s a *_LOT_* of pain located here in this comment section. God bless & comfort you all - i’m with you. 🤟🏼💞
This song reminds me of my hard working husband fishing in the Bering sea 8 months out of the year. I love him very much, it's scary not knowing if he will make it home safely. Such a wonderful song, incubus is amazing.
“… 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, happy … I wish you were here I wish you were here I wish you were here I wish you were here … I lay my head onto the sand The sky resembles a backlit canopy With holes punched in it I'm counting UFOs I'll signal them with my lighter And in this moment I am happy, happy … I wish you were here I wish you were here I wish you were here Wish you were here … Oh yeah, oh … The world's a roller coaster And I am not strapped in Maybe I should hold with care But my hands are busy in the air saying … I wish you were here I wish you were … I wish you were here I wish you were here I wish you were here Wish you were here”
Ain't noone talking about the arrangement. And how all of them are totally one when this was put together. The song writing. It gives me goosebumps every single time. RIP to all that have lost someone.
My bestfriend used to love Incubus and so did I, when he passed I stopped listening them because I didn't wanna remind myself of him. Watched Surfs Up and heard Drive and I listened to every Incubus song I heard him scream at the top of his lungs with that stupid ass smile on his face. I miss you Bro, and I wish you were here. ❤
As a kid listening to this w my old man, it sounded like such a happy tune. 😂 As you get older songs just hit different. Rest up dad, I'll never stop rocking out to our songs.
I'm 34 n I remember when incubus 1st came out... I loved everything about the 90s I still burn CDs and it's always 90s alternative/grunge best era for music hands down
My mother passed away in April, leaving behind 3 boys (20, 18, 14) I’m the oldest and not gonna lie it’s tough being the older brother but I will sacrifice everything for my them. this song hits me Everytime I listen to it. I know she’s in better place and not suffering anymore just sucks that she had to leave us so soon I LOVE YOU MOM❤️I WISH YOU WERE STILL HERE💔😭
Be strong man but cry it out too ,I can't even imagine what I will do once the inevitable happens and my parents pass away but my brother died like 10 years ago and listening to my mom cry like that broke my heart in so many ways there's nothing more sad than to hear your mother cry like that
I had a friend that was just like me. we always met up after parties and strolled listening to Incubus when we were in high school. Thats why this song is special. He committed suicide after we both moved away and started our families. I miss him a lot and often wished I could've done something to help.
As a 38 year old just managing to balance life and the rest if the garbage going on, this song really helps. The world's a violently shaken snow globe without any pretty outcome. I know where we've been, but where are we all going?
Same place everyone goes. Old age and/or death. If your lucky you wont have to see many loved ones go before yourself. Eternal sleep beats pain, loneliness, and fading memories imo
Music is medicine for our souls... Everyone feels it and differently at different times of there life.. One thing its always there to remind me keep going. Dont give up. BE THANKFUL FOR EVERYDAY. each of us are here for a reason... xoxo
Y’all these were not the 90s this sound was the turn of the millennium. 1998- 2012. This band reigned. And yes it was a great time for music, and epic sounds.
Man, where did you go Incubus. You guys showed up on the scene just long enough to alter our paradigm of music at a crucial time and split. " I lay my head onto the sand. The sky resembles a backlit canopy with holes punched in it. I'm counting ufo's. I signal them with my lighter and in this moment i am happy, happy. " So sweet...
Hang in their...trust me I know..tried suicide was so lost in this world. Believe me, it gets better...when it's up to you to decide.. Stay strong......the sun is always shining above the clouds!
Back when no one knew that Incubus was literally creating their own genre of music and paving the way for other bands like linkin park to go mainstream.
I felt a sense of hope after listening to this song. Right now I’m suffering from depression and anxiety and I stumbled upon this song. As soon as I heard the melody, I was just very mesmerized.
1 of 3 videos I directed for Incubus. Shot by the great Oscar nominated cinematographer Matty Libatique. Since the label forgot our humble credits I'll add them here. Phil Harder
This song and video have been an inspiration to me since I was a kid, I feel lucky to have seen this comment. Thank you ♥ Your work has inspired me since I was a young teen my friend. In my late 20s now. Time goes too fast.
I listened to this song every day while driving down back roads after my grandma died. We were so close. I’d see her every day and she’d tell me World War II stories about my family and what it was like for her growing up
Jason Okeefe I understand how you feel....everything makes me think of her and I just cry randomly. Its a pain you can't describe. Your a strong person, I couldn't be around it all the time....at least not right now. Cancer truely is a beast. Your in my thought's.
+Nicole Satchell indeed, but the worst was two years later , my brother, only 35 and completely unexpected, we know our parents are going ! even at that it hurts !
Incredible song. Every component of it musically, the drums, the bass, the vocals, how hard the music and lyrics hit the emotions....just beautiful in every way.
Hey man same here, although my fathers passing was years ago. It never gets easier, you just learn to accept/deal with it. It’s what he would want you to do.
The power of music is so amazing and the way people associate songs to particular instances in their life. It could take on while different meanings depending upon how the listener feels upon hearing it.
+MaxKol That's the thing MaxKol. Me too. Coz you know why? Thanks to the shit they produce in mainstream these days that forces you to go rediscover the gems of the past :)
Could be who knows. Death is something that I'm not afraid of. The way I see things, it's the beginning of eternity and something we all must face. None here will be late and not one appointment will be missed. Me missing my brother is in a way of me being selfish. Think about it. I hope you stay well and God bless.
My dad loves this band. Growing up I’d hear him listen to this & fell in love with this song. 💕I recently lost my grandpa (dads dad) to cancer so listening to this made me miss him & I wish he was here 💔😢
This song brings on a whole new meaning now that my grandparents are both gone. I sit back and wonder how I am going to go through the rest of my life without them. I love you grandma. I love you grandpa. Thank you both for everything. ❤️
My son and I had a band and sang this as cover gigs. He passed away 38 years old Dec 8 1918. I miss him so much only son I had and he had such charisma.
Hi yes it's a beautiful song not sure if you ment 1998 or 2008 or any date yes it's a beautiful song.Its lovely song for you're son it's also a happy song too.Best thoughts for you're son I understand.

So many comments about people passing away, really speaks to the gravitational pull of this song.
Oddly enough same for the song of the same name by Pink Floyd
Absolutely! My brother passed in 1992. Pink Floyd was his favorite band!

What happened to the spirit of the 90s, did we really forget what we dreamed about? I'm 35 now and I cannot believe the times we are living in.

Yea it’s always given me comfort when I’m really down missing my Grandmother. She actually bought this Incubus album for me when I was a kid ❤️
Lies again? IP S4
Same here dawg
Bruh I thought this song was about vacation cards
It's mostly bullshit comments people write for attention
My best friend of 7 years just passed away 2 weeks ago. I still don't know what to make of it, everyday seems so unreal.
This song would come on from time to time when we would kick it & I wouldn't pay much attention to it other than just jamming to it.
The day he passed away this was the first song that came on when I turned on the car. I couldn't help but cry like a baby. I feel he spoke to me with this song, he struggled alot through life & this song brought me peace knowing hes okay. I wish i couldve saved him.
My brother shaggy, i miss you man forever. You're counting ufos now man. Ill see you in the next life. I love you.
I've been there my friend.
My best friend died also, 14 years ago - he loved this band.
And, as I write this - my other "best friend in the world" is lying right now, as of this writing, in intensive care in the UK - it turns out that AIDS is not a transmissible disease - but a condition from a lifestyle choice. Who'd have thought - (except me) - who was called a "conspiracy theory nut" for so long.... Too many VERY HARD drugs/no sleep for days on end/too much alcohol, massive amounts of amyl nitrate etc etc etc ...Who would've thought.
I wonder who was behind the pushing of the narrative that it was a transmissible condition == HIV.... ??? Oh wait, it was Anthony Faucci.
What are the odds?????
WAKE THE F**** UP, people.

My 25 year old son died of a heroin overdose one month ago in Milwaukee Wi. The lead singer of incubus looks a lot like him. God I wish he was here! It didn't have to end like this.
I don't have any grown up stories with loss, but I was a kid in WI when Incubus was big. I'm so sorry for what you're in right now. People shouldn't have to go through that. I hope you can start to heal from it and feel as strong as you can very soon. Take care.
Very sorry for your loss addiction is such a powerful and life consuming demon that mamy dont realize just how fast herion and meth completely consume you and how extremely difficult it is to get sober and how weak minded and shell of a person you become. I suffer the same illness and have had to many friends die its an everyday struggle and so evil. Its an epidemic of its own and there needs to be severe changes in treatment opportunities ect.. my heart n love goes out to you
My condolences Kim. Heroin is the fucking devil, I’ve lost a best friend to it. But no parent should have to ever bury their own child. I hope you keep his light in your heart forever.
My sister passed away from a heroin overdose on 3-27-20 at the age of 29...we played this song as we carried her casket to the cemetary...i wish she was here....hugs♡btw she passed in Black River Falls, WI
Im sorry for your loss i am also from Milwaukee i pray you and your family find closure
In the comments, I didn't expect to see such sadness for such a positive and light-hearted song. But I get it. We all remember when we were younger and listening to Incubus, with nothing but the future in front of us. And then life happened. And it hit us all in the face. And all we want is to go back to simpler times.
I think the word that describes our nostalgia obsession best is longing. We are longing for the heaviness to lift.
…
Well put.

I so relate. Thank you
Glad I'm not the only one. Thank you all.
Jesus Christ this song is masterfully put together. The nice distortion of electric guitars, the nice drum beat, the acoustic guitars transitioning in sounds awesome mixed with the distortion, the scratching of the turn tables gives a nice hip flavour. The vocals are perfect. Flawless song. Love it. The early 2000s bands had such amazing tones.
This is so good but you must here “The Wave” or “Whispering Wolf” by SLT🤘🐺🎧
Que tiene que ver Jesucristo en esto.
I totally agree!
I think there is another song thats has that dj scratch in it they always play it at the fair every year or maybe it's this song
@@luissantovenia94might be are you in, another classic
There's something about all of Incubus' songs that make me feel sad but hopeful at the same time. Some of these songs have seen me through some dark times. Forever appreciate this song and this band.
i feel the same
sad but hopeful at the same time
+C Lebs You literally took the words right out of my mouth. I feel sad due to the mistakes in the past yet hopeful because I have learned from them and know I won't make the same mistakes again :)
I feel exactly the same!
👍
I could not have said it better
"The world's a roller coaster, and I'm not strapped in. Well mabye I should hold with care but my hands up busy in the air!"
That has to honestly be my favorite part of the song, I keep going to that exact part just to hear that guitar. Keep on going, Incubus! ❤️
My younger brother committed suicide last weekend by overdosing on something. He was found with headphones on, presumably listening to something. This is his youtube account. He made a playlist containing 6 songs that was edited the day he passed. This is one of the 6 songs. With the method he used, he was dead after about 30 minutes, probably unconscious around 12 minutes. I like to think that it was peaceful for him with his music on. I love you Myles, I'll miss you everyday for the rest of my life.
Sorry for your loss
I am so sorry , I wish he was here still , I feel your pain I lost my brother also
im so sorry for this loss. REST EASY MYLES
found this in the comments of the Say it Ain’t So video by Weezer, i’m so sorry for your loss. keep your head up, he lives on with you in your heart.
I'm sorry for your loss, your brother had amazing taste in music my friend. Rest in peace Myles
It's been 42 days since you passed mother and all I want is for you to be here!!! 48 years was not enough time, not near enough. If you're reading this and your mom is still alive go tell her you love her RIGHT NOW do not hesitate. Do not talk yourself out of it GO NOW!!! Mother I will always be your baby boy 1-15-2020
i miss my dad... died in my arms
It NEVER is long enough.... 😟
Some of the best memories of my mom is listening to Incubus on the way to the beach or a waterpark. She passed away in 2009: still think of our great adventures whenever I hear this song or any of Incubus. Grateful to be here and grateful to have experienced a great mother.
Fuckkkkkkk my mum passed 2009 as well and everything you mentioned after that resonates strongly As well.. damn...what a comment too read @ 4:15:am not being able to sleep as usual and being sooooo outta my mind with depression n loneliness, I was thinking VERY dark thoughts til listening to this then scrolling comments n stumbling Pon this particular 1...thanks Sean!!!...
🙏 rest mother.
God man I used to drive around with my Mom, or she would drive around with me rather, and we would listen to this album all the time every day.
This song reminds me of her beautiful smile.
God bless y'all hope you're having a nice day. 🙂
Before I had my first son, I prayed that this song would play, and it actually did when I went into labor. It was the only thing that got me through it. Then my grandfather died at the start of Covid and it reminded me of him too. So this song is so important to me. Thank you!
I signalled Brandon with my lighter during the UFO part of this song when they played Manchester Apollo, UK, during the Morning View tour (we were front row dead centre on the balcony). I got a smile and a thumbs from him. Still makes me smile. In that moment I was happy.
What an awesome memory!
Legendary moment bro
Hell yes, that's awesome.
Sorry for the ignorance, but whats the ufo part? Lol
@@Dororostan he's literally talking about signalling them with his lighter
My brother loved this song. He was young when he died. We played this song at his funeral. He was only 34. He had the rest of his life.
Sorry to hear that! Man, life sure has some unexpected turns some time. One day at a time "bro" I am working on, it may never come out, but I filmed myself alot when I was dealing with all the deaths last year that came my way. I was calling a segment "Redneck Bob Walks and Talks" I was just talking about the "SQUATTERS", my emotions, everyday stuff and how I was dealing with it in many different ways. I also have done a couple of "My Bessy Girl" episodes. I got her (Border Collie) from my dad's widow after he passed last year. She has been like an angel watching over me. Thanks Dad for driving 5 1/2 hours to rescue her. Then 5 years later, God needed you in heaven to drive his semi truck and fly that helicopter you visited me in with Jesus in the passenger seat glowing so bright it was obvious who it was. I couldn't look at his face, I would have gone blind. I am looking forward to seeing you both hopefully not before my work is done here. :)
Death is such a sad thing. Just have faith that the best is yet to come!

So sorry but my brother loved this song it's going to be a yr Dec 27 and he just turn 35 20 days before he passed. I wish he was here 😭
Half a life lived, so much to offer, my thoughts are with you, be consoled that many others are also with you,
im 31 deeply on high depression, he was only 34 shit man.. now im going to win this battle because of you brother
15/12/23
I would like to extend my deepest condolences and and sympathies for your loss. May you find Peace.
This song always takes me back to freshman year of college, 2001. What a time to be alive. I miss those days.
I was also in school when this masterpiece was dropped.. Means so much more to me now than back then. Crazy how time flies.
We must be the same age. I miss those days too.
This is literally the only song that can make me smile every single time I hear it. It's pure childlike joy turned into music.
My older brother took his own life, when I was deployed overseas... and this song brings me to tears every time because it was the first Incubus song he showed me and I’m still in love with it
I'm so sorry for your loss. Music has a way of taking us back in time. Peace.
RIP.
@@user-iq5xw2xh4z why be so ugly? Oh yeah, it's 2018.
I've recently just lost someone also. After a 28 year relationship.

My condolences and big hugs homie!!!
Came back from school, turn on MTV, and there they are. Missed those times.
True....

MTV played music? Lol jp
Tepat broo
I remember on mtv before school at like 3am
Oh got yes I hope the 2020s are like the Late 90S
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
Happy
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here

Damn,
Holy crap this world is filled with so much pain. I am glad so many of you have gotten sober. I did that a long time ago, so I know how hard that can be on a person. I'm just missing my dad. I have kids he never got to meet and I have so many questions only he could answer. . . What should I be teaching these kids? I love you you, and I wish you were here.
We were asking my grandmother's preacher to play " Wish you were here" for her funeral. There is a gospel group that has a song with the same title. The preacher so seriously asked, " Wish you were here by Pink Floyd or Incubus?" I choked down my smile and said, " No sir, by the Kingsmens." I knew then he was a good preacher...lol.
Your preacher must be an 80s Baby, I remember when this song came out in the early Naughties (00s). I was in Sydney a few months ago, a city I was born & raised in. So much has changed & I used to listen to this song on my walkman, it was played on the radio alot back in 2001 & 2002. Oh how music flashes back memories. Songs like this allow me to remember the past.
Right on
Holy cannoli
Rock on preacher.. he knew great music!!
YES! A man with a dry sense of humor! Classic Preacherman Vibes
*Beautiful song, it transports me to those times when I was very happy and I didn't know it.*
✔💓
Incubus is the best !!! But you have to listen to “Live Not Survive” by SLT right now !!! 🤘 You’re missing out !!!
If Only I knew then !
Indeed.
Same here man!
The pre-verse stuff (0:33 - 0:45) sounds like a dream, so smooth, the ambient guitars that sound djent-ish in retrospect and the nu metal-ish scratching go so well together, so smooth so celestial.
wish I could hear this for the first time again
@@kap9207 well I just did so be happy for me
@@mysteriousDSF i like nowhere fast you should listen to that if you haven’t hopefully you fuck with it
Fucking beautiful I'm obsessed with it it feels like ascension for a few seconds
I lost my friend I knew since I was 17 I’m 29 now and it’s been 3 years since his passing and everyday feels so different and surreal , he mostly listen to hip hop and rap but when we would hang out I would put him on to this kind of sound and he’ll just take everything in . I remember him closing his eyes in awe with his fist bumping , jamming to this . Amazed there was such good music out there that was different to what he normally listened to. I miss you Alan , wish u we’re here bumping this with me
So sad, but so calming. To anyone posting that this was a blessing after someone passing, I hope this puts you at ease. Thank you Incubus!
This is not sad. :D

Yes, theres something about the lyrics
It sets a mood and atmosphere of being one with nature, on a beach, you may be alone, you might even be surrounded by your friends and strangers, but you are ambient, and grateful to be alive, and wishing someone you love was there with you, because you know they would love it too
Been there many timed
Exactly!
If you grew up by the beach... that's just it... it's the vibe... and I'm from Brazilian south coast... same feeling...
Totally agree
cracked black pepper and rock salt
I love everything about your paragraph
Those are the words I was looking for when I feel the lyrics to the song
But just could never explain it❤️
You interpreted my emotions and so many others so easily
God Damn....
Said beyond Perfectly!
0:20 that riff is such PERFECTION god I love this band.
Me too. I saw them in concert once. It was amazing!
0:34 is super good too
“The world’s a rollercoaster 🎢 and I’m not strapped in”…great lyrics! Love this song!🎵
Maybe I should hold with care but my hands are busy in the air!!! 💓💓
This is so good but you must here “The Wave” or “Whispering Wolf” by SLT🤘🐺🎧
To future generations, don’t let this song die
You are the future generations.
It won’t dude
He is the future generations
plz
They can’t.
My sister recently passed away and we always listened to incubus together.. Now I am left to listen to them by myself and I just rlly wish she was here.. 💔
So sorry for your loss. Music has a special way of taking us back in time. Peace.
Sorry for your loss. She still listens with you.....😉👍😇
This reminds me of my sister that passed away too... my condolences💙
I didnt want to like this, but it's the only way I can send love your way bro. Hope everything gets better. Dont know what I'd do without my sisters and brothers.

My son turned me onto this song before he deployed to Afghanistan as a machine gunner. My heart hurt so bad, but I was so proud of his mission. Love hurts, but without love, I couldn't have survived his calling.
May God bless all brave men and women.
Your son is still doing what he loved. Standing guard over you and all of us in the name of God, Love and Country. Its all love. And his spirit will always stand guard in our hearts. Just listen to the wind. Sometimes youll hear a howl at certain times. A fierce but loving protector. I thank him and you for your service. You helped me without knowing it. Love you.
I hear this song and I can't help but thinking back to the early years in Iraq driving over the dunes and remembering lost friends that didn't come back home.
My Grandson was born sleeping last week. Man, my heart hurts with the what ifs. Thank you for your music, I just know it's going to help me through this. It always has.
Sending ❤️

I also lost the Love of my life, fourteen years ago, this song brings me right back to her.Love you, Monica ❤

My sorrow for your loss, whoever and wherever you are
This band will always be phenomenal man this is forever one of my favorites by them this a timeless classic 😊🙏😁
This song has always made me cry - even before my husband passed away a few months ago. Now i still listen to it & i still cry - it’s just so beautiful & tragic. Plus it’s universal. Surely most everyone has someone that this lovely song reminds them of. Can’t help thinking that there’s a *_LOT_* of pain located here in this comment section.

My bestfriend used to love Incubus and so did I, when he passed I stopped listening them because I didn't wanna remind myself of him. Watched Surfs Up and heard Drive and I listened to every Incubus song I heard him scream at the top of his lungs with that stupid ass smile on his face. I miss you Bro, and I wish you were here. ❤
❤❤😪
Sheer lyrical poetry w/ a driving ROCK beat! Perfection.
40 years old. I always come back to Incubus. They hit the right nerve.
Buried a very dear friend last Friday, gave the eulogy at her service. God I miss you Charlsee
Sorry for your loss. May Charlsee Rest In Peace. Know that their spirit is "Always" with you! Love & Peace, ~LuLu~
Keep your head up and continue on with her in your memories, I'm sure she'd have liked that.
life sucks doesn't it
Hi peeps I'll be celebrating 15yrs of sobriety next month over 3yrs ago my ex girlfriend passed away from cancer! I wish she we're here!
Hey that's great to hear stay strong. And I'm sorry for your lost.
Oh, shit. That was fucked up.,
You have a good energy ✌️💜🌈
Congrats! Going on 7 years for me. Lovin life clear.
So sorry you lost your person. Surrounding you right now with love & light.
She's still there only in a different form. Sorry for your loss. ✌
As a kid listening to this w my old man, it sounded like such a happy tune. 😂 As you get older songs just hit different. Rest up dad, I'll never stop rocking out to our songs.
Friggin albums you have to listen to straight through, not a catchy song, a complete work of art. Enter a mindset, experience emotions and thoughts
I swear this song gets better every time you listen to it.
Lol
IKR
Incredible Song. Goes for 3:33 which means it's Divine Perfection
Facts
i agree, sounds stronger after not hearing it for a while
The 90's were practically perfect.
i miss them
I'm 34 n I remember when incubus 1st came out... I loved everything about the 90s I still burn CDs and it's always 90s alternative/grunge best era for music hands down
E4T6 This came out in 2001...
Incorrect but they are. Compared to now.
Indeed. My father taught me my hair has the tensile strength to hold the weight of my body
Brandon is genius..he completed the 4 elements such as land, water, wind or air and a fire on candle..
Then carried this song through his melodies..
My mother passed away in April, leaving behind 3 boys (20, 18, 14) I’m the oldest and not gonna lie it’s tough being the older brother but I will sacrifice everything for my them. this song hits me Everytime I listen to it. I know she’s in better place and not suffering anymore just sucks that she had to leave us so soon I LOVE YOU MOM❤️I WISH YOU WERE STILL HERE💔😭
I'm so sorry.. don't give up. I know it's hard but you can do it. They need u
You're a good man. Gob bless you bro.
Man...geez... sorry for your loss...God bless Mom...stay strong with this great song.
@Dex: Don't ever give up on life! Stay positive and keep rocking !
Be strong man but cry it out too ,I can't even imagine what I will do once the inevitable happens and my parents pass away but my brother died like 10 years ago and listening to my mom cry like that broke my heart in so many ways there's nothing more sad than to hear your mother cry like that
I had a friend that was just like me. we always met up after parties and strolled listening to Incubus when we were in high school. Thats why this song is special. He committed suicide after we both moved away and started our families. I miss him a lot and often wished I could've done something to help.
That is so sad. Hang on to those fond memories.
As a 38 year old just managing to balance life and the rest if the garbage going on, this song really helps.
The world's a violently shaken snow globe without any pretty outcome.
I know where we've been, but where are we all going?
To God's side

Very profound, so much it made me hang my head, and cry. So much, too much pain. I don't know if I feel like sticking around to see.
💯 peace to you
Same place everyone goes. Old age and/or death. If your lucky you wont have to see many loved ones go before yourself. Eternal sleep beats pain, loneliness, and fading memories imo
Music is medicine for our souls... Everyone feels it and differently at different times of there life.. One thing its always there to remind me keep going. Dont give up. BE THANKFUL FOR EVERYDAY. each of us are here for a reason... xoxo
This song came out when I was in high school and it's nostalgic and beautiful
Remember the original video when it first came out incubus was running from there fans and jumped off of a bridge?

Yesss girll❤😊☺
The song is so timeless. It has no era. It's all the eras. It's just magical, with the most beautiful lyrics.
I’m in love
Yea, you're right, and well said.
There saying the same thing now with Blu-ray 😜
The best band I have ever seen live ! I'm 59 now & seen some of the biggest bands in the world but, Feeder always take the biscuit for me !
All of these years later this band is still stellar.
Don’t u mean “inta-stellar”....ha

You guys showed up on the scene just long enough to alter our paradigm of music at a crucial time and split.

You're not alone my friend. But don't give up. All this pain is just an illusion
Same here. Hang in there bro.
Just heard this live at LCA in Detroit last night. Sounds the exact same live pretty incredible!
I’m singing this song at the top of my lungs !! “ I wish you were here!” To my loved one that is long gone up to heaven
Thing is HE has always been here
Back when no one knew that Incubus was literally creating their own genre of music and paving the way for other bands like linkin park to go mainstream.
Ashley Johnson very true!
I don't know. I kind of feel like Elliot Smith kind of paved the way for Incubus.
311 was before but Incubus evolved the sound take out rap and blowed our minds
Linkin park was inevitable
lui bola agree about 311
We don’t search for old songs
we search for old memories.
Decades later people will realize
the depth of this line…..
Yeah we do….. And they happily haunt us.
That was hard! #BARZ
Very True! Ridiculous how sooooo nostalgic I have become since I hit my 40's!!!
agreed. I just listened to oingo boingo dead mans party, for me it brings fond memories. Check it out.
I felt a sense of hope after listening to this song. Right now I’m suffering from depression and anxiety and I stumbled upon this song. As soon as I heard the melody, I was just very mesmerized.
💓🫂
hang in there.
You are loved
1 of 3 videos I directed for Incubus. Shot by the great Oscar nominated cinematographer Matty Libatique. Since the label forgot our humble credits I'll add them here. Phil Harder
Well done 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
Awesome! We really appreciate the work that y'all do. There's nothing like a cool video to go along with a cool song.
LMFAO I love this comment
This song and video have been an inspiration to me since I was a kid, I feel lucky to have seen this comment. Thank you ♥ Your work has inspired me since I was a young teen my friend. In my late 20s now. Time goes too fast.
What were the other 2 videos???
Best memories, just grabbing my skateboard in the summer breeze and spend the day with my friends listening to these bands... 💕
si!!!!!
Good memories

Anyone else feels like this song applies to their younger non-depressed selves? I wish my old self were here instead of this shell of my former self.
That's the best part about music it's open to interpretation
Still depressed off and on. This is one of my all time favorite bands for helping with that. But I get what you're saying. Feel better!
hope you’re doing okay robert
fuck man. i feel you.
This is my song for my younger depressive self.lol.🤣
I am still depressed as an adult but I am a functioning closeted depressed adult.lol
I listened to this song every day while driving down back roads after my grandma died. We were so close. I’d see her every day and she’d tell me World War II stories about my family and what it was like for her growing up
for my mom I lost her in April to cancer, love you forever❤
little einsteins
Jason Okeefe I understand how you feel....everything makes me think of her and I just cry randomly. Its a pain you can't describe. Your a strong person, I couldn't be around it all the time....at least not right now. Cancer truely is a beast. Your in my thought's.
+Nicole Satchell indeed, but the worst was two years later , my brother, only 35 and completely unexpected, we know our parents are going ! even at that it hurts !
+Nicole Satchell Sorry for your loss.
Nicole Satchell I lost my mom to cancer when I was 6 I know how u feel I wish she was here
this was my generation and I miss it badly.
Incredible song. Every component of it musically, the drums, the bass, the vocals, how hard the music and lyrics hit the emotions....just beautiful in every way.
My dad passed a week ago. Every time I hear "I wish you were here" it makes me sad because I really do wish he was here.
11 days from now will make a month he's been gone. Love and miss you dad we didn't have alot of time together.
@@ThatOneHondaForeman400 I'm sorry for your loss.
Hey man same here, although my fathers passing was years ago.
It never gets easier, you just learn to accept/deal with it. It’s what he would want you to do.
Keep his memory alive and he will always be with you ❤️
My dad died a few days into January. I wish he was still here everyday. Dont think itll go away
The power of music is so amazing and the way people associate songs to particular instances in their life. It could take on while different meanings depending upon how the listener feels upon hearing it.
I can't believe this song is 24 years old already. Still feel like I'm back in high school when I listen to it.💞
Me too
Fella this song is 22 years old🤓
Still listening to this very well played cover. Thank you
I came late to these guys. Wasn't really into them back in the day, but I sure dig 'em now.
Same here!
+MaxKol Word !!
they're second album, S.C.I.E.N.C.E. is amazing...so unique and different...wish they would go back to those roots....check it out!
+MaxKol That's the thing MaxKol. Me too. Coz you know why? Thanks to the shit they produce in mainstream these days that forces you to go rediscover the gems of the past :)
+brandonhSd Amen to that...wish they would resort back to those roots....
My brother died last week January 1st 2019. I wish he was here... Yeah. I miss him.
Chris Anderson time heals all wounds brother chin up man hes always watching you your never alone x
Could be who knows. Death is something that I'm not afraid of. The way I see things, it's the beginning of eternity and something we all must face. None here will be late and not one appointment will be missed. Me missing my brother is in a way of me being selfish. Think about it. I hope you stay well and God bless.
I know that pain.
I had a great buddy of mine die Jan 1 too every jan1 is gonna be a hard month
I suppose you mean 2020*?
My dad loves this band. Growing up I’d hear him listen to this & fell in love with this song. 💕I recently lost my grandpa (dads dad) to cancer so listening to this made me miss him & I wish he was here 💔😢
Going to watch them in Germany in April ... 46 and still madly in love with this band!
If you’re reading this I love you
This song brings on a whole new meaning now that my grandparents are both gone. I sit back and wonder how I am going to go through the rest of my life without them. I love you grandma. I love you grandpa. Thank you both for everything. ❤️
My son and I had a band and sang this as cover gigs. He passed away 38 years old Dec 8 1918. I miss him so much only son I had and he had such charisma.
