My incubus story. In 1997, I was a "new to the industry" stagehand, and one of my first concerts I worked was 311 with Sugar Ray and this no name band Incubus. Incubus was in a conversion van and a uhaul trailer. I helped set up their drums after soundcheck. Cool show. A couple of years later at Ozzfest 98, I see they're on the small stage, so me and my friends go see them (system of a down was on the small stage too ...lol). The drum tech recognized me, and we got to hang out on the side of the stage. Then a few years later......they're on top of the world, and they headlined my home arena I first saw them open in 4-5 years before. I bought tickets to that show....and was so happy to see the progression of this band, full circle. This past year at Welcome to Rockville festival, I got to see them play again, in front of 20+k people, and it was almost a spiritual thing. Just thought I'd share.....there's no point to my story. Hahaha...... wait.. yeah there is ...they're great guys that make awesome music.
When I listen to that album, every song has the ability to place me in the house on morning view with them, even so far as translating the varying moods and emotions being touched upon throughout their time there. So easily relatable it's almost transcendent
This album was released a few months after my sister passed. This song was an important part of the grieving process for my brother and I. It's just about those magical and simple moments in time where you wish that person was there to experience it with you. So glad to see Incubus make the review list!
@@travisinthetrunk Same. That one reminds us of my dad, too. I consider myself fortunate to have had parents who always had great music on during my childhood. Every memory I have has it's own soundtrack. I'm a Gen Xer, and music was our version of SM. Still is in a lot of ways.
@@veloraloves Sorry to heR about your brother. I have two. And I can't imagine. Well, with the younger one I actually have. He's been in a lot of trouble over the years. My parents hated my music. ( Mostly Metal but everything a little bit) So, I raised my kids listening to everything! My oldest son's first concert that he asked for was Ted Nugent opened up for KISS he was 9. My younger son's first was Smash Mouth.😁 I'm a Gen-X'er too!
"The song wasn't specifically about a person. It was about me acknowledging a very brief moment in my life and in my experience with all of these guys in making this record. In that moment, I wish that I had somebody to go, 'I love you, man.' I was wishing that there was someone there to share that moment with."
To me, this is one of the most positive songs I have heard. Never related it to someone that was lost. I always found it coming to me, when I was centered, aware and happy. Wishing someone important was there with me to share it. The images he paints with the lyrics, are exactly like the seemingly trivial moments when you can just breathe in life and find the intrinsic beauty of the world you live in.
Really??? I dont remember it like that. I guess because everyone I knew was so into Incubus, but they have over 23 mill albums sold. Their run in the spotlight was short, but I never thought of them as a "spotlight band" just and great f'ing band and was music their main gig per se??? They were all so multi-talented. Regardless 22 years later this whole album is still in my rotation.
The quintessential Incubus songs: Pardon Me Sick Sad Little World Warning Love Hurts Stellar 11am Blood on the Ground Drive Adolescents They are a wonderful band that has evolved over the years. They are pretty diverse while still definitely remaining a rock band at heart.

The Summer the year this Album came out was probably one of the best Summers I had as a teenager. Surfing and skating all day, no care in the world. Living free. Take me back to 2001.
This song reminds me of my dad I remember he got me into this music and he died 17 years ago when I was 8 and this song always makes me tear up. I finally got to see incubus live in 2019 and this song gave me chills
The way you mentioned grunge throughout this reaction made something click for me. The beginning of the 90s is associated with grunge, and the world-wide exposure to the "big 4" (Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, AIC). By the end of the 90s, grunge was considered dead, Kurt was actually dead, and Layne would be dead soon (2002). When I hear this Incubus song (released in 2001) now, it reminds me of these artists lost in the 90s that I truly wish were still here, as well as so many others we've lost since then. I didn't have that perspective in 2001, but in 2020, it's there.
Wow that is the best persective to describe the lyrics of this song I've ever heard in my life. I can so relate to those feelings exactly and not even realizing it myself.
They recorded 'Morning View' (the album that this song is from) in a gorgeous beachside mansion. Some of the footage is from their time recording. Please react to 'Aqueous Transmission', the end of that song is just the sound of frogs who lived near the mansion. It's very chilled out and sweet. I LOVE this band so much! Also 'A Certain Shade of Green', 'Redefine' or 'Vitamin' from the album Science are amazing and very different, there's more experimental jazz in those songs. And the lyrics on that album are more existential. They were teenagers and all had dreadlocks during the 'Science 'era'. :D
70’s for me. 90’s for you. That’s the beauty of music. My “kids” got me into Incubus 10 years ago. My son, daughter, and I went to a couple of their shows. Those were beautiful days.
@@planreview - It goes both ways. My parents, especially my father, loved '70s rock music and listened to it constantly along with some late '60s stuff. I still listen to '70s music along with my '90s coming-of-age stuff. All good in their own ways.
I'm amazed no one in the comments is really suggesting A Certain Shade of Green off of S.C.I.E.N.C.E. It's a huge departure from what you've heard of them so far and there's a music video to accompany it. They're so eclectic and have spanned so many genres within one band with only two-ish band member changes within 25 years of activity. They have an inane ability to blend genres and make it their own. Glad you're enjoying this group. They're my absolute favorite band.
Early 2000s brother. I'm an Aussie and listened to this Album on repeat on a road trip along the Great Ocean Road in my newly bought convertible. Good days. Great days.
This song makes me think about my brother, he passed away 10 years ago. It's hard to think about living this long with him no longer here. He didn't get to see his son grow up, to see him graduate. I wish he was still here but we don't always get that in which we wish for.
I've been binge-watching your videos for three days straight, my friend. I love how open-minded you are!!! I would HIGHLY request more Incubus. There's so much soul in the lyrics and spunk in the sound. "Switchblade" is one of my favorites, as is "In the Company of Wolves", "Southern Girl", "Mexico", "Are You In?", "Aqueous Transmission" and "Anti-Gravity" to name a few!! They release banger after banger. It's so hard to narrow it down! Lol.
I connect so much to this song being a military spouse. Especially when our daughter would learn something new, a holiday or just a good day in general. It would be that much better if he was there to experience it with us.
Its about anyone you want with you to see something beautiful or experience a great moment. Its a feel good song rather than grieving song in my opinion.
I think it's just painting a blissful moment that you wish you could share with another person, but it can just as well be interpreted to be about a lost loved one. The archival footage is just them recording the album where the song is from. I recommend "Sick sad little world" from them.
He’s wishing that someone (not sure who) would be there to see him at the height of his success experiencing it with him. I can’t stop watching your channel, you’re reacting to all the music I love ❤️❤️❤️ This is one of my favorite songs from incubus.
Nice! Look up their AT&T wireless acoustic session from 2000. All the songs are amazing. It is mind blowing how good the whole set was. Hope to see reactions to some of the songs. Keep 'em coming. Merry Christmas 🎄
Incubus got really famous in 1999. They're definitely a 2000s band, but they formed in 1993. They were classified as heavy metal, as their earlier sound was much more raw and heavy. Brandon used to scream in some of their more experimental stuff early on but once he learned how to sing well it was on
I miss the 90' music lol that explains your smile😂that scratching is a part of them. You can always tell when their songs come one. Pardon me and Drive, Stellar are awesome
Not a massive Incubus fan but this is a very nostalgic song for me. I seem to get something in my eye every time the chorus hits. Thanks for the reaction!
Good morning Captain @Jamel_AKA_Jamal.. this song is a 1000000% cry to the Heavens For Those About we have lost in the antrum of living and wishing they were here for some of our happier and even darkest moments because they were always there for us and we miss him with all our hearts bodies and souls and this group just pointed that out so beautifully that the song will resonate for years to come because we all have someone in our worlds that we wish was still here thank you so much sir for opening up the world to us once again and to yourself it's amazing to watch you transform right before our eyes good man you are awesome stay healthy stay safe one step at a time and once again thank you from the bottom of everyone's hearts who's watching and learning from you and are able to relive some of our better moments in life because of you resonating with the music and then with us ourselves we are surely appreciative of all your hard work amen
No, he's this song was written in a happy moment. He was happy, just as he stated in the song. The lead singer's own words: "The song wasn't specifically about a person. It was about me acknowledging a very brief moment in my life and in my experience with all of these guys in making this record. In that moment, I wish that I had somebody to go, 'I love you, man.' I was wishing that there was someone there to share that moment with." And this was released in 2001.
This reminds me of driving up to Sedona and to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon in October 1998. I had just discovered Incubus earlier that year and this album was on repeat most of the way. Great memories.
I stmbled on you by mistake but I subbed! You get so involved in the songs and it's refreshing. You seem to forget that what you're doing is for others watching. And thanks for that, very entertaining!
The footage was filmed while they were recording the album. They rented a mansion on the California coast and spent months on end just living and recording there. This video is actually a quickly thrown together 2nd version that was released after 9/11 because the first version showed people jumping off a bridge or something and the label wasn't OK with that after people were jumping out of the towers.
Ill never forget being SOOO crazy about make yourself and so excited for what was next, summer 2003 k rock played this for the first time and my mind was blown. I was pissed I didnt tape it tho. We didnt have youtube than! ;)
This is Alternate music in a nut shell! And this was a number 1 hit for them. Im not sure either what the true meaning for them but it could be what you want it too be..
This band, but this song in particular really gets me down/in my head but in a good way, especially the intro just makes me reflect even the lyrical content, I think we could all sing this to one person and truly mean it. For me it would be my childhood best friend, grew up across the street spent at least part of everyday over there, so many memories. Though he is not lost to this Earth, he is to me, haven't talked to him in at least 5 years think about it a lot but I can also accept that we may never speak again, just not quite ready to give up. Wish I knew if he still thinks about me (no homo).
One important thing to note about music in the 90s, in my experience, is that there is a VERY big divide between music that came out through 1994 and stuff that became popular from 1995 on. The real alt-grunge stuff (Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, etc) was booming at 1991-1992.
@Jamal_aka_Jamel I sent this song to my cousin who went into the service. Seth and I were very close and I just missed him. This song is so hopeful in nature and positive. I really hope you check out out Here in my Room and Aqueous Transmission by these guys. I've been a fan for a while and I'd see it as a personal favor if you listened to them, even if you don't react to them. Thank you for the joy you bring Jamel, I wish you nothing but the very best Brother. You're and honest and genuine guy and I love coming along with you for your journey. Peace be with you my friend 🙏.

kikstand2011 that’s actually awesome though. I saw them and system last year playing for 50k people.
The guitarist tried to bang my gf. She had to laugh. Dude was only about 5ft tall.
That's pretty dope!
@@Delboy219 LOL was it Mike?
@@sjorge388 Yup!
This song sounds like a warm blanket in the best way.
Blue blanket
I used to just picture laying on the beach looking at the sky when I heard this song. I loved that vibe.
When I listen to that album, every song has the ability to place me in the house on morning view with them, even so far as translating the varying moods and emotions being touched upon throughout their time there. So easily relatable it's almost transcendent
@@xx3astmanxx928 Totally Agree. 100% same vibes.
I absolutely agree. I have several Incubus songs that I love, but this one is my favorite.

It's just about those magical and simple moments in time where you wish that person was there to experience it with you. So glad to see Incubus make the review list!
My brother died about a year after this song came out. I still think of him when I hear this and the Pink Floyd song with the same name.

Music can heal all wounds in time

Right. The footage is of where they stayed when recording the album. The song is about the experience of being there.
So dope

More incubus!
Pardon me
Megalomaniac
Warning
Stellar
👍💯 This is the perfect next list of Incubus songs to react to.
That's exactly what I was thinking. Much better list of songs to do than the ones I've seen requested so far
I would love to see a react to old incubus like Calgone, Vitamin or Hilikus
Old funky Incubus kicks *** too, like Azwethinkitiz or You Will Be A Hot Dancer
Mitch Maldonado Yes, yes, yes and yes. 🤘
The Summer the year this Album came out was probably one of the best Summers I had as a teenager. Surfing and skating all day, no care in the world. Living free. Take me back to 2001.
Same. In NZ. Go surfing, play rugby, go to parties and listen to incubus. Can't believe how fast that time has gone.
i love the fact, that the base and drums get a voice in Incubus! lovin this band!
The best band of the 90’s on every level imo 😃😎
This song reminds me of my dad I remember he got me into this music and he died 17 years ago when I was 8 and this song always makes me tear up. I finally got to see incubus live in 2019 and this song gave me chills
I saw Incubus open for Deftones at the White Pony concert 20 years ago. It was amazing! And now I feel old,lol
Brandon Boyd was my first celebrity crush.... And Incubus was the first band I ever fell in love with! This band still holds a big piece of my heart.
"Nice to know you"...."Pardon Me"..."11am"
My God 11am or Echo this songs are just brilliant actually all the Morning View album is just a master piece.
11 am for the win
You want some badass incubus, listen to....
VITAMIN!!
New Skin!
They have a jazzy free-flowing groove to their songs

Try the song Warning may be the one you listen! 🤷🏻♂️ 90's was The decade for music!!! 👌 at least for me
Love that song😁
70’s for me. 90’s for you. That’s the beauty of music. My “kids” got me into Incubus 10 years ago. My son, daughter, and I went to a couple of their shows. Those were beautiful days.

70s probably best decade for music, but the 90's a close second every genre was on top of it.
I bet it’s either pardon me or stellar you’re thinking of.
Incubus has solidified itself in my lifetime top 5.
🎶💙I thank my son for Lots of music. Incubus is just one band. And I shared my 70s music with him. I thank Mama for my love for music. Miss her so. 💔

Science is my favorite album
My favorite song!
Early 2000s brother.
I'm an Aussie and listened to this Album on repeat on a road trip along the Great Ocean Road in my newly bought convertible.
Good days. Great days.
311 songs from the 90's. All mixed up, Down, Beautiful Disaster, Do you right...just to name a few.
But they were early 2000s. They are still a great band, they’ve had multiple amazing bass players come and go throughout the years.
They only had 2 bass players.
P.O.D.
They've had 2 lol
Formed in the 90s, gained most exposure in the early 2000s
Loved these guys back in the day. You should check out "Nice to Know You" The vocal style is rad. Keep up the great vids
This song makes me think about my brother, he passed away 10 years ago. It's hard to think about living this long with him no longer here. He didn't get to see his son grow up, to see him graduate. I wish he was still here but we don't always get that in which we wish for.

My brother and I always send this song to each other when we’re apart and having fun. My best bud since birth!
Just luv this summery jam♥️♥️
Yaass ! More Incubus pls ❤ Do Are you In ? (Studio version) or Echo !
Echo is my jam! I listen to it at least once a day.
I connect so much to this song being a military spouse. Especially when our daughter would learn something new, a holiday or just a good day in general. It would be that much better if he was there to experience it with us.
This song came out in 2001!! But yeah it still got the 90s vibe.
I first heard their stuff in the late '90s.
My man Jamal love seeing you appreciating rock music... hip hop is dead....
Incubus, every album is amazing!!
Its about anyone you want with you to see something beautiful or experience a great moment. Its a feel good song rather than grieving song in my opinion.
Loveee this song so much!!!
Loving your channel in London, on holiday in Orange County, on a bike ride with the first iPod back in the 90s with this on repeat.
One of the only songs that brings me back to a very specific time.
The song you're looking for is likely either pardon me or stellar
Wouldnt it be hilarious if his boy's song was some rando like Take Me to Your Leader or Medium?
A solid Incubus banger, one of my favourites, but so many of them are!! ❤️🤷🏻♀️
I’m glad you got to listen to this incredible band.
I came by to watch this to see you vibe again. I miss that you.
I think it's just painting a blissful moment that you wish you could share with another person, but it can just as well be interpreted to be about a lost loved one. The archival footage is just them recording the album where the song is from. I recommend "Sick sad little world" from them.

I listen to the song a lot because it gives me a time where I can sit and remember my son
Blind Melon - Holy Man, Tones of Home, Change, No Rain, Mouthful of Cavities

The guitar in the verses soothes my soul.

Now ya getting in ya bag my brother!!! Great tune... Incubus has a great sound! Always has, they never get old..
Got to see them live last year. Wish they had recorded their version of Genuine's Pony. That shit was dope and unexpected
Was that at South Padre? I managed to snag video, it was epic
@@cinderoonie It was Carolina Rebellion in South Carolina I believe. It was epic!
No, he's this song was written in a happy moment. He was happy, just as he stated in the song. The lead singer's own words: "The song wasn't specifically about a person. It was about me acknowledging a very brief moment in my life and in my experience with all of these guys in making this record. In that moment, I wish that I had somebody to go, 'I love you, man.'

Man, I've had a crush on Brandon Boyd for more than 20 years. That voice, those lyrics, his face. He's still a doll.
the Singer , brandon boyd , is actually heavily inspired by Mike Patton from Faith No More/Mr Bungle ... other great bands to react to btw :)
Pardon Me or Stellar. Amazing band. This band made me really find me for who i am today. What an amazing band. The Morning View CD was amazing.
Saw them play in Cincinnati last month. They sounded great!!
This reminds me of driving up to Sedona and to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon in October 1998. I had just discovered Incubus earlier that year and this album was on repeat most of the way. Great memories.
Would love to hear your thoughts on Faith No More, highly influential band on the alt and nu metal genres.
I stmbled on you by mistake but I subbed! You get so involved in the songs and it's refreshing. You seem to forget that what you're doing is for others watching. And thanks for that, very entertaining!
This song is actually about the lead singer wishing the perfect wave to surf was there in those moments on the shore
Listen to “Promises Promises” from them! Soo good!
My take on it is that he's singing about a lost love, good love that went bad. "You were my 'soulmate', wish you were here now that I've woken up..."
Great group, great song, great sound!
The footage was filmed while they were recording the album. They rented a mansion on the California coast and spent months on end just living and recording there. This video is actually a quickly thrown together 2nd version that was released after 9/11 because the first version showed people jumping off a bridge or something and the label wasn't OK with that after people were jumping out of the towers.
Ill never forget being SOOO crazy about make yourself and so excited for what was next, summer 2003 k rock played this for the first time and my mind was blown. I was pissed I didnt tape it tho. We didnt have youtube than! ;)
My only song when I travel to beautiful places
Luv Incubus. 311 is another great band! 👍
You're spot on about the 90's vibe. I sure miss it.
Sublime, green day, offspring, blink 182. Great bands and you're actually in that genre area. I really hope to see those.
Oh man. You need to do more incubus songs. Like atleast all of them. Theyre one of those bands that every song is good.
HEWfunkingKNEWit 100% agree!
Incubus- if not now then when
Awesome Vocals!!!!
This is Alternate music in a nut shell! And this was a number 1 hit for them. Im not sure either what the true meaning for them but it could be what you want it too be..
That 90s vibe was and is so great!
This song is fire 🔥 always will be
Another underrated band
This band, but this song in particular really gets me down/in my head but in a good way, especially the intro just makes me reflect even the lyrical content, I think we could all sing this to one person and truly mean it. For me it would be my childhood best friend, grew up across the street spent at least part of everyday over there, so many memories. Though he is not lost to this Earth, he is to me, haven't talked to him in at least 5 years think about it a lot but I can also accept that we may never speak again, just not quite ready to give up. Wish I knew if he still thinks about me (no homo).
One of the greatest lyrestcis ever
This song gives me goose bumps every time I hear it.
Light Grenades should be on your Incubus list also 😃
Damn....This was the jam back in the day.
One important thing to note about music in the 90s, in my experience, is that there is a VERY big divide between music that came out through 1994 and stuff that became popular from 1995 on. The real alt-grunge stuff (Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, etc) was booming at 1991-1992.
This Incubus track, Wish You Were Here, dropped in 2001
90's pumped out some real good stuff.
@Jamal_aka_Jamel I sent this song to my cousin who went into the service. Seth and I were very close and I just missed him. This song is so hopeful in nature and positive. I really hope you check out out Here in my Room and Aqueous Transmission by these guys. I've been a fan for a while and I'd see it as a personal favor if you listened to them, even if you don't react to them. Thank you for the joy you bring Jamel, I wish you nothing but the very best Brother. You're and honest and genuine guy and I love coming along with you for your journey. Peace be with you my friend 🙏.
typical radio tune i heard 1 million times in my life
Please react to Pardon Me, Stellar, Vitamin, & Make A Move by Incubus. All amazing songs.
