I think it was May 1998, got to see GLU for the second time and got to spend some quality time with David before and after the show. I was 16 years old and got to hang with him for several hours after the show. We even rode together to take him to his hotel. Well, he asked if we could listen to the radio and it didn't work in my friend's car. What does cringey 16 year old me do? I ask him if we can sing a GLU song. Trying to show Dave that I was indeed the biggest GLU fan ever, I picked the deep-cut that we have here, Weight. He played along and we had a great time. RIP bud!
This song is a bonafide hit that should be recognized alongside a lot of bigger mainstream hits from this era but Empty is their greatest song...ever. It's like Today, Closer and Black Hole Sun levels of good. Should be acknowledged as one of the greatest songs from the 1990s.
So happy I bought the MK Soundtrack 2-3 years ago, because I discovered this band. Better late than never. Mk has a lot of my favorite stuff for some odd reason.
I'm with dane anderson on this one. I was a kid still in middle school when i first heard of GLU. I was hooked from then on. I do agree music nowadays pretty much sucks for the most part. Glad to have grown up in the golden age of grunge and alternative. Everything was so vibrant and alive and everyone wanted a piece of the pie trying to be just enough unique to break through.
Music is still evolving, some interesting forms of expression are out there. The old music will always hold a special place in our hearts, but we must always be open to new things.
🎵Some say it's nothing to all Some say it's nothing to, to the fall It's so obscene Turn off my life-support machine Sometimes the weight's on me Most people never see You think that everything's a miracle I don't There's nothing left but sadness And now to, back to this Everybody wants me to be happy Don't they know what it takes to make me Sometimes the weight's on me Most people never see You think that everything's a miracle I don't Sometimes the weight's on me Most people never see You think that everything's a miracle I don't Sometimes the weight's on me Most people never see You think that everything's a miracle I don't🎵
Glu was an awesome 90's band. I was really good friends with Adam when he came to Florida. he had some great stories about the road-life and bands he toured with.(which later on became huge).
I have no idea how to get this done but God lives underwater is on Spotify and so is the mortal kombat soundtrack but this song is not on Spotify. Can we please get this song on spotify?

Must have missed the first time Dan mentioned them. I just heard it in a Sonic Heroes Finale video and remembered the band name from More Kombat. I listened to all 4 soundtrack albums a lot when I was in college. Need to dust them off and go back for another round.
Wow, I thought riffs were the only thing Incubus ripped off from other bands: Mike Patton, RHCP, Alice in Chains. But here, it looks like Brandon Boyd also copied Dave's singing style. Check out the intro vocals
They sound like a cross between AIC and NIN in my opinion. But I agree Brandon Boyd took most of his influences (stole or whatever) from 90-95 bands. One you didn't list was Fishbone, another great one Brandon was influenced by. David can't hit Brandons vocal range..still a great singer none the less.

Thank goodness this was on the soundtrack else I would have never discovered this band along with Sister Machine Gun.
this was the first one i heard by them when i got this cd when i was a kid, so damn good and so damn underrated
Who in the Seven Hells is the one person that keeps disliking these glorious tracks?! I'll have their head...
A quarter of the track is silent. Kill me then big guy!

Blame the uploader, ya dummy.
🎵Some say it's nothing to all
Some say it's nothing to, to the fall
It's so obscene
Turn off my life-support machine
Sometimes the weight's on me
Most people never see
You think that everything's a miracle
I don't
There's nothing left but sadness
And now to, back to this
Everybody wants me to be happy
Don't they know what it takes to make me
Sometimes the weight's on me
Most people never see
You think that everything's a miracle
I don't
Sometimes the weight's on me
Most people never see
You think that everything's a miracle
I don't
Sometimes the weight's on me
Most people never see
You think that everything's a miracle
I don't🎵
It's either nothing or not fair
To *take* the fall
*Is* it so obscene?

I love this song I agree i also think this is a reference to Cthulu from H.P LoveCraft.
I'm the dragon
Thank you
Game Grumps fans incoming.
Dan Scannell Yep.
Bam, here we are.
Where's my buttsex?

@handbananafool if only everyone was that smart. Knowing that the music today sucks. God, I wished everyone realized that.
Would love guitar tabs for this!
going back to the classics...damn music sucks now

That's funny, considering Incubus were a contemporary of those bands; they had been recording since the early '90s.
@@forgottengrooves6073 right, the dude's making a bit of a stretch here.
