This is by far the best cover of Heart Shaped Box. You definitely nailed the post-Make Yourself/pre-Morning View vibes. But the verse melody was definitely from A Crow Left of the Murder. I love it.
I'm blown away at how good this is. It sounds NOTHING like the original but EVERYTHING like Incubus, and I mean that in the best way possible. You really went all in and didn't just simply put Incubus-style vocals over the same melody. Such an amazing cover.
My thoughts exactly! I was kinda shocked when I saw 121k. (which is still pretty good). I think it takes a certain musical intellectual to truly appreciate what he's doing.
Dude this is something special. 99.9% of covers ive seen do a relyricing of another song. You LEGITIMATELY do a style cover. That sub is fucking EARNED. Keep it up my dude.
The closeness in sound and style to Incubus (especially during the crow left of the murder times), particularly with the vocals, is absolutely uncanny. Excellent work
this bit at 1:53 just before you go into the chorus is so impressive. it's not just an imitation of Brandon Boyd's voice but also his singing affectations. It's spot on!
This is absolutely fucking spot-on to an insane degree! I love that you referenced the vocal melody from "A Crow Left of the Murder" for the first line of the vocals but used older Incubus style for the overall vibe. These covers are just unreal - please do more Incubus!
Holy crap this is stellar. Saw Incubus 15 years ago and this took me back. Now I gotta go binge some incubus after I finish binging some of your stuff.
I hardly ever comment on TH-cam videos. But this gave me goosebumps and I just had to let you know. You're nailiing the Incubus-vibe. Brandon Boyd will be flattered when he discovers this. Namaste.
I think that is my favourite fantasy cover of yours. You master the impersonation of Boyd's style and the whole song has that very Incubus vibe. It is also my favourite cover of a song that I deeply appreciate. Thank you so much for this. I needed it today.
Dam Dude, you just combined the two best bands of my life and it was epic! I loved every cord and word!!!!!! Give this guy an Osar, and Tony Award, Golden Globe, MTV Music Award, Something that shows he's gifted with the power of "Songsation"
3 thoughts I have after watching this / listening to this: 1) you are very talented; 2) you capture the Incubus sound very well; 3) I am so happy the original song exists. Subbed and liked!
Dude you're insanely talented. I love all your shit. Incredibly underrated. This one is really good, the reason in deftones is fcking amazing, and your SOAD mr brightside... so damn good man. Mostly impressed with how you nail the vocal styles of each of these artists - blows my mind
It's not even a cover at this point. It's an entirely new song that perfectly replicates the style of Incubus and just happens to use the same lyrics as Heart Shaped Box. I don't know how you keep blowing me away in every single video.
Long time Incubus fan here - take out the math rock and you nailed it. Remove trying to call it an "Incubus" cover and you have an amazing unique cover of your own here.
@mac glocky.... wow. Just stumbled across your station. Blown away by your talent. Everything I've heard from you thus far has been absolutely killer. Cheers.
Wow, just wow! Your other works are all great, but this really stands out to me as being the most unique. It's unquestionably Incubus. If you didn't see the title or listen closely to the lyrics, you could easily miss that this is based on Heart Shaped Box. It's difficult to make a cover song that doesn't sound like a cover song, but you definitely did here. Bravo!
Holy shit dude I never like covers on TH-cam but you are absolutely on a whole different level!! Thank you for blessing us with these songs you’re amazing!
This sounds more like incubus than incubus.
Honestly you could make a full album just incubus style and I'd listen to it non stop.
I'd buy that shit asap
it would
and this is no exaggeration
be better than the last several incubus albums
add me to this petition!
Was just about to post this
Helll yeah!!!! 🔥
Completely reinvented this timeless masterpiece , love your version
This is by far the best cover of Heart Shaped Box. You definitely nailed the post-Make Yourself/pre-Morning View vibes. But the verse melody was definitely from A Crow Left of the Murder. I love it.
This is why I love Incubus each of their albums are so different from the last, yet wholly “Incubus”
Your not kidding, this guy absolutley nails the sound all the way down to the timing, guitars, pro-tools on all his work.
Same thoughts I had. Definitely a banger
To be honest, this transcends a cover, you made something very original here. You are a seriously talented guy. Subbed!
I'm blown away at how good this is. It sounds NOTHING like the original but EVERYTHING like Incubus, and I mean that in the best way possible. You really went all in and didn't just simply put Incubus-style vocals over the same melody. Such an amazing cover.
right?!!!!
You need this on Spotify
Agreed.

Totally agreee
Agreed

Came here to leave this exact comment!

HUGE Incubus fan here. Awesome job!!
The beat, the riffs, that voice... this is KILLER dude
bro you just made a real new song dude
This is absolutely fucking spot-on to an insane degree! I love that you referenced the vocal melody from "A Crow Left of the Murder" for the first line of the vocals but used older Incubus style for the overall vibe. These covers are just unreal - please do more Incubus!
This guitar riff gives me Never Meant by American Football in the best ways. Your covers are insane brother been binging your videos, Thank You!!
Holy crap this is stellar. Saw Incubus 15 years ago and this took me back.
Now I gotta go binge some incubus after I finish binging some of your stuff.
Could have made that into a pun
I hardly ever comment on TH-cam videos. But this gave me goosebumps and I just had to let you know.
You're nailiing the Incubus-vibe. Brandon Boyd will be flattered when he discovers this.
Namaste.
Dude I hear the Incubus, particularly the flow of A.C.L.O.T.M., but I also hear a very strong GlassJAw and Finch vibe. I LOVE it.
Finch! That's what this reminds me of.
Glassjaw is a great shout
Glassjaw underrated 🔥
I always thought the dude from finch sounded like Brandon from incubus/vice versa
Fiiiiiinch thanks dude it was killin me
I think that is my favourite fantasy cover of yours. You master the impersonation of Boyd's style and the whole song has that very Incubus vibe. It is also my favourite cover of a song that I deeply appreciate. Thank you so much for this. I needed it today.
Your rendering of the chorus in this song is a knife in the heart, my dude
Is that a good thing??
You are the true embodiment of a great musician. I can feel the energy in your music
Way to think outside the "Heart shaped box"🫡👏👏
Best "If Incubus wrote" song yet in my opinion. Amazing!!
Amber cover gave Morning View vibes, this gives Make Yourself vibes. Once again, AMAZING JOB! Brandon and Mike would be impressed.
the vocals giving a crow left of the murder vibes too, i dig it
@@mattybaratty3646 the chorus is def Pardon Me but you are right about the verse.
I've been listening to this nonstop ever since it dropped, and still going strong. Absolutely outstanding.
I have too, I almost consider it an incubus song now😂
I just heard it yesterday and I’ve played it maybe 20 times since maybe more
Bro your voice is like butter and honey, Smooth and tasteful. Keep on with your Deftones and Incubus cover ups.
I’ve added this to my local files on Spotify cause it’s so good. One of the best covers I’ve heard
Damn, I had to really stop and think of what the nirvana melody sounded like 😂 Sick version man! 🍻
I'm literally stuck listening to this for the past hour. So happy that I discovered you!
Dude need this on streaming
still one of my favorites of yours, would love to see it on streaming or for purchase one day!
I stumbled on this vid today. Holy fucking shit dude. This is KILLER. Love it.
I'm speechless. This is as close to perfection for a cover as you can get
YT recommended FTW brev. Such a fun channel and you're so talented dude. Please keep these coming
After that first vocal progression I fully expected you to go "yet do you get it yet do you get itttt???"
Shifting the meter was excellent. Badass.
Hey man, you nailed that Pardon Me guitar tone. Helps that there’s a couple of similar chords in the progression.
Dam Dude, you just combined the two best bands of my life and it was epic! I loved every cord and word!!!!!! Give this guy an Osar, and Tony Award, Golden Globe, MTV Music Award, Something that shows he's gifted with the power of "Songsation"
This is KILLER man, you're a guru for this type of melding. Love your versatility man, really inspiring! Keep it up dude, been a fan for a long time
Idk how this doesn't have more views I listen to it almost every day
3 thoughts I have after watching this / listening to this: 1) you are very talented; 2) you capture the Incubus sound very well; 3) I am so happy the original song exists. Subbed and liked!

I don't understand..... How the Hell do you not have 1 million subs yet! Your stuff is amazing dude!
I can't stop listening to this cover, would love to have it on Spotify!
Every incubus song style you do are so fresh, it reminds me my college years, good memories.
Thank you.
Wtf?!?!??!??? Dude why are you not more famous, this is awesome!
I really hopes incubus plays this one day
SPOTIFY NOW
It's not even a cover at this point. It's an entirely new song that perfectly replicates the style of Incubus and just happens to use the same lyrics as Heart Shaped Box. I don't know how you keep blowing me away in every single video.
Holy crap dude. Hard to believe your sheer talent and musicality.
Dude! That was amazing. Well done!
I love incubus so much, and you capture their sound SO well. Thank you, honestly, qnd keep up the insanely good work, please!
Dude your Incubus stuff is amazing and oddly comforting
Instant subbed, this is beyond a cover its a masterpiece. More like these PLEASE!
Why doesn't this have more likes?! Absolutely love your work, man. This one just takes things to a new level. Thanks so much for sharing.
Long time Incubus fan here - take out the math rock and you nailed it.
Remove trying to call it an "Incubus" cover and you have an amazing unique cover of your own here.
You made this into a whole new song and it's freakin' brilliant.
man, you just made got back to my teenage. Brought me tears
@mac glocky.... wow. Just stumbled across your station. Blown away by your talent. Everything I've heard from you thus far has been absolutely killer. Cheers.
Love incubus, sounds very similar to already existing incubus verses, but you nailed the idea of incubus nirvana :D
I hope incubus does a cover of this cover. You really did an Amazing job.
0:19 This riff is just beyond epic
Dude, this is legitimately some of the best music I’ve ever heard. You rock so fucking hard brother keep it up!!!
Yeah, okay dude. I’m fucking sold.
Massive incubus fan and I *loved* this.
Deftones covering Whitney Houston "I Will Always Love You" would be massively impressive...
Yessss
YOOOOOOO!!!!
up
😂😂😂😂
You’re a freak of nature bro. So sick hearing these mashups!
I'm hearing the "Unlearn Me" vocal from A Crow Left of the Murder. Killer job! You're so good with the subtleties, even the drum sound.
I just can't stop listening to this I really hope someone has sent this to the band I'm sure they would love it
i am in love with this rendition
Your a trip dude. Keep doing this
sounds like something that couldve been off of a crow left of the murder. very nice
Another insane masterpiece. Never stop.
This is pure love... Thanks you 🙌
This is absolutely amazing and very beautiful
Somehow even more catchy. No right to be this good!
WHY DIDNT YOU RELEASE THIS ON SPOTIFY
Wow, this exceeded any expectations I came with, truly outstanding job you did there.
the vocals were very "a crow left of the murder" with the style feeling more like morning view. well done
Can't even tell this is a nirvana song any more. This cover was amazing.
This cover is so fucking good! I can't believe how into I am, but it just scratches an itch I didn't know I needed scratched
Saw Incubus 2 nights of in Lubbock, TX. Your version does them justice. 🔥
Epic work Mate!!! Nailed the Incubus vibe (yes one of the few Brits who's heard of Incubus).
Dude I hope you’re making a seriously good living from music because you are a freak of nature!!! 1 million subscribers isn’t far away!!!
Seemless "A Crow Left of the Murder" and "Heart Shaped Box" Mash up. Bravo!
This man absolutely, positively never misses. I've never heard him do a single song that wasn't perfect.
You need to make more of these avaliable to download can't get enough
You're a musical genius!
Wow!! I barely recognize this song and I've been listening to it since it came out! 😄 Fantastic job! I love this version!
Wow, just wow! Your other works are all great, but this really stands out to me as being the most unique. It's unquestionably Incubus. If you didn't see the title or listen closely to the lyrics, you could easily miss that this is based on Heart Shaped Box.

Holy shit dude I never like covers on TH-cam but you are absolutely on a whole different level!!
Thank you for blessing us with these songs you’re amazing!
Love that tele! Color looks great! Good stuff man, thanks for making that song.
I'm a huge fan of Incubus and I could say that this sounds like "a crow left of a murder".
Thanks, I need to get into Incubus. Always loved their sound but somehow never deep dived into them.
This turned out so good, my fav of yours
You are a crazy talented musician!!! Really love your content.
I fucking love your work man!
Nice 🤙🏻 not sure incubus would do that High guitar riff though
Yo this is actually spot on!! Good fucking job, keep the Incubus style coming !!
The fact that he channels brandon boyd is out of this world! ❤
This is the greatest thing I have ever heard. Please make more 🫡
