My son would have been 41 years old today. Sadly he passed away 7/19/07 at 9:11 am. Incubus was one of his favorite bands. I'm sitting by his memorial tree and paying tribute to him by listening to some of his favorite tunes. He would love that. Miss him dearly. 😘🙏
I can't imagine how u feel. I have 2 daughters.. i dont know what I'd do. My first born had 3 heart surgeries but she pulled through. She has half a heart...I hear this sing and think of my wife and how we helped each other through..
a good song is a good song. It never goes out of style. It’s timeless. Dig is timeless. It will never get old and I will never grow tired of listening to it. It’s a masterpiece. Well done boys 🖤
I hope everyone in this thread is in a better place and has had better days😘 ( I'm still trying to deal with the death of my mom last year the day before my birthday. It's gonna get better)👍🏿
Anyone listening to Incubus in 2024? I love this band so much. So many memories from different eras of my life with each album. I'm seeing them again in April. Super excited! Love to all the Incubus fans ❤
Absolutely! That one album with the Lake on it. Uh, yah, that one is really good as well. They are all amazing with his voice being used like an instrument. Or, at least sounding good enough to be an instrument. Love em! Hope everyone is having a great night! If not, hopefully tomorrow is for you! Grab your loved ones and tell them how you feel. It is very important to them and you. You just might not know it yet! Love eachother!
My wife and I got together in 2006 and this has been our song for many years now. We both suffer from mental illness (our sickness) and rely on each other to help dig us out when we are having mental issues. Totally gives this song special meaning to us. Thank you Incubus for the gift of putting words to our feelings for each other.
Congrats on finding the right person! My girlfriend and I share this song for the same reason. I really do hope the artists that write these kinds of masterpieces know how valuable their music is to their listeners
All three of you are love.... nothing like a cathartic dancing release or singing to our true rejected beauty. We were rejected due to others being rejected.
Same. But Incubus songs very much reminds me of my adopted mother/best friend, Sharon, who passed away, on July 3rd of 2020. It really was a shit year. Its been almost a year since I've listened to any Incubus songs. They're still one of my favorite throwback bands. But its a little hard to listen to now.
Had 5 songs in the top of the billboards, one song in the top 10, won a billboard award, and are still producing music to this day.. guess I don’t get how they aren’t credited.. we all couldn’t be born after 2005
Always loved this song but it wasn't until my current relationship and my bipolar depression was having a serious effect on it, then I really understood what these lyrics are speaking to
I can't believe I only heard this song for the first time today. 04/22/21. I'm 49 years of age and these days it's rare that new music grabs me on the first listen but holy crap. Wow. Gorgeous song.
Same. I'm 50. was listening to a few incubus songs that I remembered liking. came across this and couldn't believe I hadn't heard it. It resonates with me. I've been listening to it most every morning at work for the past few months.
Incubus is a bit before my generation. Born in 99, really only had access to music based on what my mom had in her CD cabinet. Enter stage right, the "Alive at Redrocks" live album and recorded set on DVD. Blew my young mind like you wouldn't believe. Incubus has had a chokehold on me since then
Mark Osho - thanks for clarifying those lyrics for me . I always thought he said "I know your laughters a clever medicine" - like the girls laugh would make him feel better . :) but the real lyrics are cool too
My music taste is all over the place. I’ve said that incubus is an all time favorite and if I venture off for a sec. It only take a beat, a lyric you know that unmistakable sound or feeling you get when you hear them and your thinking how could I venture from this.
Amazing how a band named Incubus has so may songs speaking on goodness and self healing. They speak of someone digging at us. Unconditional love, when we truly love ourselves and others, we shine our light on (with love) the dark areas in other people we KNOW are capable of so much more. The light in us feels the need to DIG them out of their ego self that causes so much grief.
So many of their songs have such great meaning! Totally recommended reading/watching some interviews with Brandon Boyd if you haven't. It really made me love them even more.
Def wild that it still inspires so many thoughts of romance or “the one” when that isn’t what it’s actually about! I just read today that Boyd said he wrote it about his band being there for him during a really dark time (and I’ve loved this song for years). He said it was about love in a platonic sense and the camaraderie of it. I think it makes you think of a one on one relationship because it feels so intensely personal, the way it’s sung and the lyrics themselves. Definitely one of the best songs I’ve ever heard, it just goes right to the heart of the human experience. Whole band is so on point texturally, melodically, rhythmically. Can’t say enough good things about it lol.
Isn't it wonderful when you hear a good song first.....then later on you understand that it understands YOU? This is maturity. This song was taught to me by my dad. Since being 10 ish years old. Thankful to the greater power or God that I still have him, with my mother and i still see them over and over whenever i desire. Especially when they dug me my own weaknesses.
This song is life. Open your ears and listen to this song and you will find happiness. You gotta find a person that will be there for you no matter what. And when you do, give 100% back to them. That's true happiness. And incubus is the shit too haha
David Ferraro you are so right, I think its a song about true friends who will try to help you out when you are in your darkest moments, dig me up from under what is covering the better part of me= someone trying to help you realize your full potential, getting you away from what keeps you down, and yeah incubus is the shit lol
David Ferraro This is perfect for my life right now. Dealing with my wife leaving me because she wants to party and be free. Songs like this make me feel optimistic that I can find someone who will be there through everything, no matter what.
A friend back in 2007 died in a car crash on the way back from senior trip for graduating high school. This is back when Myspace was the big social media site. The song on his page was this. Every time I listen to Dig I think about him.
This song is my marriage put to music... Two imperfect people (one with autism, then other with bipolar disorder) trying to learn to accept each other's flaws and build a life and a family together. Sometimes I'm down, sometimes she's down. We both get buried sometimes under the weight of this place called the real world, but we know that the "us" that we fell in love with is still there, just beneath the surface, so whenever one of us is off the other is there to dig them out of it. We both dig at each other sometimes, but at least we dig each other :). This song reminds us that we will always have each other, when everything else is gone.
Dedicated this song to my fiance as a promise and oath to him. We both struggle with anxiety and depression but I will always be there to pick him up, comfort him, help him grow and DIG him out of his bad place. ❤️
@Hppy Cmpr I feel like everybody needs somebody's help to an extent. I agree, needing someone is unhealthy, we don't need each other to survive or live but we are compassionate with each other and care one one another. So please don't stick your nose in where it's not wanted and say some stupid shit like that to a stranger.
‘Dig’ is me and my husband’s oath to help each other out if something‘s covering the better part of ourselves. That we’ll always have each other when everything else is gone. Such a powerful song! ✨
Such a powerful song burst out crying every time I hear it love you incubus. Your music is so beautiful it gets into your soul what an incredible band you are ❤
This is the first Incubus song I ever heard. I was 11 years old and it made me cry. Just turned 29 and Incubus is still my favorite band and this song is still making me cry. So glad to see them getting their flowers lately!
I was 15 when I first heard Incubus. A certain shade of green was the first Incubus song I heard, I was hooked after that 😊❤ I'm 38 now n still listen to their tunes DAILY
My Mom passed away August and I went from Oregon to California to help with arrangements - and I was so lucky me and my son went to Hollywood Bowl and saw Incubus -it was so amazing -,we both felt her smiling down on us. God bless you Nico-you made Grandma proud.
True but Mike has an awesome voice too i wish he had a part where you could hear him isolated. Just a phase and nice to know you are two of my favorites because of his harmonized parts it is my opinion anyway
We all have a weakness Some of ours are easier to identify Look me in the eye And ask for forgiveness We'll make a pact to never speak That word again, yes, you are my friend We all have something that digs at us At least we dig each other So when weakness turns my ego up I know you'll count on the me from yesterday If I turn into another Dig me up from under what is covering The better part of me Sing this song Remind me that we'll always have each other When everything else is gone We all have a sickness That cleverly attaches and multiplies No matter how we try We all have someone that digs at us At least we dig each other So when sickness turns my ego up I know you'll act as a clever medicine If I turn into another Dig me up from under what is covering The better part of me Sing this song Remind me that we'll always have each other When everything else is gone Oh, each other when everything else is gone Oh... If I turn into another Dig me up from under what is covering The better part of me Sing this song Remind me that we'll always have each other When everything else is gone Oh, each other, (sing this song), when everything else is gone Oh, each other, when everything else is gone
Every time I click this video I have to listen the whole way thru even tho I've heard it a million times. The song never gets old and always touches the heart and soul.
Always loved this song but it wasn't until my current relationship and my bipolar depression was having a serious effect on it, then I really understood what these lyrics are speaking to
I'm a guy in my 40's. Never a big fan of Incubus. Then I saw them at Rock on the Range a few years ago. Was totally blown away and been a fan ever since
Most underrated band of all time. The sound was original yet ahead of it's time. The vocalist has tremendous range. Extremely talented band. Love incubus
Beautiful song. I often envy people who find true love, and people who have people by their side that will unconditionally stay by their side. That's something I don't have. I already know that there's no one out there for me, and I've accepted that. To everyone who has someone true, value that person, appreciate them.
Death_Dealer Humble of you, but you're not the only one who feels that way. And if we have that much in common, it sort of implies that you shouldn't lose hope. Forget faith that the pieces will fall into place, faith burns out in time without reassurance anyway. But don't lose hope. And I won't either.
Death_Dealer Just be yourself man. Try your best to wear nice clothes, get your haircut etc. It doesnt' cost much. A t-shirt and a pair of jeans doesn't cost much. Then just be yourself, it's all you can be. Don't be nervous around girls, they're only girls and be honest to them. I know this doesn't sound like great advice but there's a girl out there for everyone.
Death_Dealer Love yourself like you love your favorite person, and you life will always be golden! We choose who we are and who we become, it's sad we live in a society that's shallow in so many aspects.
Saw this clip on Mtv when I was 7 and had no knowledge of English nor any way of looking for this song. I've been trying since pretty much that time and it is now, at 23 years old that I've finally found the first song that I've ever liked that was discovered by myself; it's a small thing but this is a dream come true and has definitely made my week and possibly my month
This is one of those songs that speaks to everyone. Everyone needs a therapist- whether paid, through a friend, a family member, or this song! I worry for those that don't have somebody to talk too, and I hope you find your people.
We all have a weakness But some of ours are easy to identify. Look me in the eye And ask for forgiveness; We'll make a pact to never speak that word again Yes you are my friend. We all have something that digs at us, At least we dig each other So when weakness turns my ego up I know you'll count on the me from yesterday If I turn into another Dig me up from under what is covering The better part of me Sing this song Remind me that we'll always have each other When everything else is gone. We all have a sickness That cleverly attaches and multiplies No matter how we try. We all have someone that digs at us, At least we dig each other So when sickness turns my ego up I know you'll act as a clever medicine. If I turn into another Dig me up from under what is covering The better part of me. Sing this song! Remind me that we'll always have each other When everything else is gone. Oh each other.... When everything Else is gone.
This is my favorite song! My dad's initials are DIG. He passed away in 2009 and this song has really pushed me to look at his passing in a better way. I know that I'll always have him even though he's gone.
Shit... That's deep Miranda.. Sorry to hear about your Dad.. but hey! He is definitely alive through this song, so that's really great.. His memory will live in you through this awesome masterpiece.
Such a great song, to remind you that when you have someone in your life that you can really rely on, no matter how heavy your load is, you can get helped. Thank you Incubus!
Hit after hit after hit. I don’t know about anyone else, but I feel an intense spiritual pull to this band. To Brandon and Ben’s voice… the melodies they discovered…it’s so multidimensional… Incubus is such a great band and I’m so thankful they exist ❤
That arpeggio just hits right into my memories of youth and exudes nostalgia. You really get that feeling of what teenage love once felt like. Mike Einziger is a genius. Such an amzing group!!
Just beyond BEAUTIFUL. I'm frickin' cryin' now. My sister, Bert, and I CANNOT listen to this without balling our eyes out. Reminds me of my niece, Bert's daughter, Audrey Rose, who was hit by a car and killed when she was only 10 yrs old.. She'd be 30 today. The most beautiful, kind, and sweet little girl I have ever known. I Loved her like my own. We had a strong bond. This song brings Bert and I all the wonderful, GOOD MEMORIES of Audie. I'm surprised at how many people are also reminded of passed loved ones by this gorgeous song. It really comforted me to read all the similar comments. My heart breaks for every one, tho. How amazing is this band to create a song that evokes such similar emotions from so many of us? It's quite a gift they've given us. Peace to you All!
Im twelve and as crazy as it sounds I've been listening to Incubus ever since I was born. This song brings back memories of my childhood, also bringing back the nostalgic moments when my mom would sing this to me when I was sad. I love this song and know all the words by heart, and just listening to it can make the pain go away. The meaning to this song is so deep and thoughtful, that it's not only happy but it's showing affection to one another. I would also like to thank the band themselves, for making great music, capable of making people happy. I will always listen to your music.
I've always loved this song, but when my boyfriend and I saw Incubus perform it live, 4 feet in front of us, it struck me that it was our song! I cried, it was magical.
I’ve always loved incubus but this album … this song. I remember when it came out and I loved it but now that I’m older and have done some healing the music video makes a lot more sense. With so much betrayal and heartbreak possibly the thought of looking at love and entertaining the idea of being with another is quite terrifying. But when he finally allowed someone to be patient while breaking down that wall with them it gave a sense of hope and optimism. The right person will be patient with you and kind while you’re healing. Together or apart if it’s supposed to be and the inner work is done anything is possible. ❤ #hope
My best friend died 6/17/24. We would talk about this song. We used this song as kind of our way around life and our relationship/friendship. So when weakness turns my ego up I know you'll count on the me from yesterday If I turn into another Dig me up from under what is covering The better part of me Sing this song Remind me that we'll always have each other When everything else is gone. Now, she's gone. It's left a massive hole in my life and luckily this song invokes beautiful memories of her.
You never truly appreciate music until you get older. Incubus is a band I never gave a chance after A Crow Left of the Murder. This song is so beautiful and his range is amazing.
The song is about forgiveness and compassion. From the video I always saw it as someone that is depressed and love shows up to dig him up and save him. I hope love comes soon for me. I'm getting older and time is running out.
just because this life is fragile doesnt mean it ends when the body dies. it may sound weird but i think death is just the beginning. energy doesnt die it transforms into something else. we will be fine. much love dios
This song will forever remind me of February 2007 in San Diego partying before deploying to Iraq. I vividly remeber driving around SD listening to this just fucking enjoying Cali. Ah 20 yr old me.... Feels like it was a different lifetime.
It makes me so happy and so sad to be able to instantly go back to that place. Like shit was great and awful all at the same time and it's something you can never go back to again.
jami0070 I went on 2 deployments, finished active duty and moved back home. Finished school and worked. Idk I'm just a normal person working and living life.
@@christidaniel6941 I watched your vid, the best prayer breaking curse ever from lionofjudah. Amazing. The spiritual battle for our souls IS happening constantly. Thanks for posting. It's cutting edge filmmaking. Yahshua is King. ⛵⚓.
My favorite Incubus song. Finally got to see them live a few years ago and, of course, could not hold back my happy tears. Brandon was sick, but he powered through and still sounded amazing.
Yes. Incubus level of talent is mind-boggling. I've been a professional musician for over 40 years (prog rock/fusion) and these guys are who I listen to.
Hey Brandon. You have done very well in life. You have a unique talent that has resigned with me for years. Im in a dark world after my 8 year old son was kidnapped. Im always turn to your music for help
@@SocaliBH Hello, and I'm extremely sorry to hear about your son. That's a nightmare for any parent. We all draw strength from somewhere, and I'm pleased and honored to be able to bring you some degree of happiness and comfort in such a terrible and tragic time. We'll keep you and your son in our hearts and prayers.
this album brings me back to being 21 and carefree. I'd listen to this on road trips, sauna sessions before/after a workout at the gym on my iPod, at parties. Very nostalgic. Still gives me chills
One of the best bands to have ever existed, in terms of musical versatility & diversity, lyrics writing, use of a variety of traditional musical instruments & strong vocal by the frontman. Will remain as one of my favourite bands of all time.
There are songs that when you listen to them for the 1st time you'll know they will stay with you for the rest of your life, this is one of those songs.
Oh my goodness The rock and alternative genres raised me I swear. Incubus has always been one of my many favorites. There's something about their sound that just really gets to me and puts me in this amazing mood I truly feel like I'm home again. Sitting in the house that built my family and I . You know how you hear a song over and over again that it just kinda becomes background music ? That's how rock and alternative music was for me . It was just always on. I could be waking up to my father making his special breakfast on a Sunday morning and I'd wake up to it. I could just walk in the dim lit kitchen and the music was always playing, It would play while we sat down at the table as a family. After my father was murdered not far from home we moved away from the house we never planned on leaving because it was too hard and the "background music" began to mean the world to me. I had never taken it for granted in the first place but the lyrics mean much more to me than they ever had . This is definitely my favorite Incubus song. It reminds me of the one person that knows me more than anyone else and can just get to me and I can get to him.
Sophia Gervasio That really gave me the touchy feelies, on some real shit! My mom passed so I know how music is one of the best ways to take us back to that moment we want to feel again!
She dedicated to me this awesome song when I was having ego problems, this song helped me all these years. Unfortunately the person who dedicated this has gone away. Miss her so much
One of my favorite songs by Incubus. What a beautiful song by an awesome band! I needed a good cry today and this song does it every time. A masterpiece by these guys for sure!
This band is highly underrated, my dad would play this song for me when i was young, and right now I really am needing to hear it, since I am going through some mental health issues so its good to get my mind off of it for now. I hope this song makes your day better too.
Light Grenades is one of those rare musical gems that gets better with the passage of time. I listened to this album religiously for the better part of two years when it came out. I found so much encouragement from the vulnerability displayed in these songs and how they relate to the human condition. This album will always have significance to me and a special place in my being. One of my top ten albums of all time regardless of genre.
My son would have been 41 years old today. Sadly he passed away 7/19/07 at 9:11 am. Incubus was one of his favorite bands. I'm sitting by his memorial tree and paying tribute to him by listening to some of his favorite tunes. He would love that. Miss him dearly. 😘🙏
That's a beautiful way to honor his life.
I can't imagine how u feel. I have 2 daughters.. i dont know what I'd do. My first born had 3 heart surgeries but she pulled through. She has half a heart...I hear this sing and think of my wife and how we helped each other through..
❤️

Thank you sir!
a good song is a good song. It never goes out of style. It’s timeless. Dig is timeless. It will never get old and I will never grow tired of listening to it. It’s a masterpiece. Well done boys 🖤
Absolutely 💯 Yup....
Song is 18 years old and still evokes the same feelings as when I heard it for the first time. Hello, 2024. Thanks, Incubus, for staying with me.
This!!

This song kept me from blowing my head off. I was severely depressed, and didn't care anymore. But one day this came on the radio, and saved my life.
Thank God you are here
I wish I could like this comment over and over. Glad you’re still here 🖤🖤
I hope everyone in this thread is in a better place and has had better days😘 ( I'm still trying to deal with the death of my mom last year the day before my birthday. It's gonna get better)👍🏿
Stay strong brother, I'm glad you're still here.
Hoping this song keeps finding you❤️
Guitarist is like the edge of U2... Once in a while they show up and blossom... He's terrific !!!
This song reminds me of the importance of doing the inner work, and heal from traumas from the past
yes!
Anyone listening to Incubus in 2024? I love this band so much. So many memories from different eras of my life with each album. I'm seeing them again in April. Super excited! Love to all the Incubus fans ❤
Just saw them in Tokyo, 2 hours ago. 10/10 highly recommend
Here! Love their music, I was introduced a few years ago- this song is one of my favorites from them
Incubus for life 🔥
I just saw them in concert tonight in Chicago, IL and they played this song ❤
I’m going to see them tonight!
Anyone still listening to incubus in 2022???? Such an amazing band. So powerful with their lyrics..... Love to all
❤
Yup absolutely just found it, glad I did.
Yes, always come back to this song!!
Me!
Absolutely! That one album with the Lake on it. Uh, yah, that one is really good as well. They are all amazing with his voice being used like an instrument. Or, at least sounding good enough to be an instrument. Love em! Hope everyone is having a great night! If not, hopefully tomorrow is for you! Grab your loved ones and tell them how you feel.

The world is broken and needs this song right now.
Pray to god he will answer you
THE most absolutely perfect song. Probably my favorite ever created. Covered it as a part of my livestream acoustic set today.
This world has been broken long before this
Nah.
Dont ruin it.
Its a great tune. Doesn't need to be tarnished.
Facts 😿
One of the best Incubus songs in my opinion!
So true......I dont think I heard to many bad 90s alternate/ rock songs!
Def my favorite!
My absolute favorite
Yup!
The best😊
My wife and I got together in 2006 and this has been our song for many years now. We both suffer from mental illness (our sickness) and rely on each other to help dig us out when we are having mental issues. Totally gives this song special meaning to us. Thank you Incubus for the gift of putting words to our feelings for each other.
Congrats on finding the right person! My girlfriend and I share this song for the same reason. I really do hope the artists that write these kinds of masterpieces know how valuable their music is to their listeners
Me and my heart failure hubby too..❤❤ beautifully said.....Jeannie in Lakeport California
I know you'll act as a clever medicine
Gayyyyyyy
We all dig each other! Thats our medicine!
"If I turn into another, dig me up from under what is covering, the better part of me"...that hits me in the chest every time.
As someone in recovery, that line hits real close to home for me too
"So when sickness turns my ego up, I know you'll act as a clever medicine" is the line that gets me every time...
Remind me that we’ll always have each other... when everything else is gone
All three of you are love.... nothing like a cathartic dancing release or singing to our true rejected beauty. We were rejected due to others being rejected.
Best lyrics ever
This song hits a nerve, makes me cry like a baby for some reason. It's just one of the most beautiful songs I know of and I know a lot of music.
Me 2
same
Same. But Incubus songs very much reminds me of my adopted mother/best friend, Sharon, who passed away, on July 3rd of 2020. It really was a shit year. Its been almost a year since I've listened to any Incubus songs. They're still one of my favorite throwback bands. But its a little hard to listen to now.
It is bro
Just beautiful!! 😊🎶🎼❤️
Incubus never got enough credit. They are truely amazing
One of the true greatest vocalists of all time
indeed.
Lot of bands never got enought credit... i agree incubus is one of them... to add it.. seether also didnt get enough...
I wish there was an incubus concert every Friday of my life.
Had 5 songs in the top of the billboards, one song in the top 10, won a billboard award, and are still producing music to this day.. guess I don’t get how they aren’t credited.. we all couldn’t be born after 2005
The lyrics are massively underrated
Right? It belongs on the top shelf of love songs
Couldn’t agree more
Dig me up from what is covering the better part of me
@@ianpritchett103damn straight. It cuts through the soul
Always loved this song but it wasn't until my current relationship and my bipolar depression was having a serious effect on it, then I really understood what these lyrics are speaking to
This is a really powerful song. It's like a lighthouse beacon when you're feeling lost in the world.
So true
❤️so true
What a beautiful comment
Beautiful 😢
sometimes I forget this is probably the most sweet, sincere, open-hearted rock band ever. Thanks Incubus to be here right now.
Ikr
Best Band Ever
Condivido..
Agree. Sometimes I spend so much time without listening to it, but when I do I have the same thoughts
Lies again? Dig Nose Food Pyramid
I can't believe I only heard this song for the first time today. 04/22/21. I'm 49 years of age and these days it's rare that new music grabs me on the first listen but holy crap. Wow. Gorgeous song.
Amazing song for sure Paul! Definitely my favorite by them.
bro this song is 15 years old. but you got good taste regardless
Welcome! 🤗
Same. I'm 50. was listening to a few incubus songs that I remembered liking. came across this and couldn't believe I hadn't heard it. It resonates with me. I've been listening to it most every morning at work for the past few months.
Where were you,you miss it
Incubus is a bit before my generation. Born in 99, really only had access to music based on what my mom had in her CD cabinet. Enter stage right, the "Alive at Redrocks" live album and recorded set on DVD. Blew my young mind like you wouldn't believe. Incubus has had a chokehold on me since then
"When sickness turns my ego up
I know you'll act as a clever medicine"
Just dope. Lyrical genius
:)
hell ya bro
I am pretty sure that is my favorite Incubus song. It is so hard to choose, but Dig is too brilliant!
Love is a drug.. maybe the drug....
Mark Osho - thanks for clarifying those lyrics for me . I always thought he said "I know your laughters a clever medicine" - like the girls laugh would make him feel better . :) but the real lyrics are cool too
I'm an alcoholic. This song just motivates me. I'm not alone, who else is out there. Help me.
you can do thisp
cannabis can help..
Here*
You can go to an small island or mountain, seeing sunset and sunrise. It helps me so much once a year. I feel better
Right there with u. One day at a time. We can do this.
My music taste is all over the place. I’ve said that incubus is an all time favorite and if I venture off for a sec. It only take a beat, a lyric you know that unmistakable sound or feeling you get when you hear them and your thinking how could I venture from this.
This song should have 100 million views.... Everybody is going through shit.
Amazing how a band named Incubus has so may songs speaking on goodness and self healing. They speak of someone digging at us. Unconditional love, when we truly love ourselves and others, we shine our light on (with love) the dark areas in other people we KNOW are capable of so much more. The light in us feels the need to DIG them out of their ego self that causes so much grief.
So many of their songs have such great meaning! Totally recommended reading/watching some interviews with Brandon Boyd if you haven't. It really made me love them even more.
Part time lover

Nailed it!! 😊
I love talented people and this guy is one of the best.
Melissa Ann shut up.
It’s criminal this doesn’t have a trillion views. It’s one of the most beautiful songs ever written and performed.
It’s a love letter to all women.
It’s not about women, it’s about his buds
not about women you simp, its about his male friends
Def wild that it still inspires so many thoughts of romance or “the one” when that isn’t what it’s actually about! I just read today that Boyd said he wrote it about his band being there for him during a really dark time (and I’ve loved this song for years). He said it was about love in a platonic sense and the camaraderie of it. I think it makes you think of a one on one relationship because it feels so intensely personal, the way it’s sung and the lyrics themselves. Definitely one of the best songs I’ve ever heard, it just goes right to the heart of the human experience. Whole band is so on point texturally, melodically, rhythmically. Can’t say enough good things about it lol.
I would like your comment, but don't want to ruin the 69
Isn't it wonderful when you hear a good song first.....then later on you understand that it understands YOU? This is maturity.
This song was taught to me by my dad. Since being 10 ish years old. Thankful to the greater power or God that I still have him, with my mother and i still see them over and over whenever i desire. Especially when they dug me my own weaknesses.
One of the greatest songs ever made that no one talks about!
Definitely. For me it's about acceptance of each others character defects and looking past that to see the true human.
@@jayhensley7681 I can't help but soften to everyone when this plays. Men. Women. Trans. Black. Brown. white. I just love you all for your struggle.
Hands down!
Facts!
Love live Teach
This song is life. Open your ears and listen to this song and you will find happiness. You gotta find a person that will be there for you no matter what. And when you do, give 100% back to them. That's true happiness. And incubus is the shit too haha
David Ferraro you are so right, I think its a song about true friends who will try to help you out when you are in your darkest moments, dig me up from under what is covering the better part of me= someone trying to help you realize your full potential, getting you away from what keeps you down, and yeah incubus is the shit lol
David Ferraro Thanks for this comment! It gave a lot of hope! I guess this just what I needed to read today!
David Ferraro This is perfect for my life right now. Dealing with my wife leaving me because she wants to party and be free. Songs like this make me feel optimistic that I can find someone who will be there through everything, no matter what.
Wow David you get it! Much love 😃
YES! YES! This is the point!
So many years later and these lyrics are just as healing as ever
who's listening in 2021? Still my favorite song from Incubus!
What’s with all the dislikes?

A friend back in 2007 died in a car crash on the way back from senior trip for graduating high school. This is back when Myspace was the big social media site. The song on his page was this. Every time I listen to Dig I think about him.

Mike Andrews You're a ass!
Mike Andrews lol and grammar nazi. Do you feel better now that someone payed you attention?
This song is my marriage put to music... Two imperfect people (one with autism, then other with bipolar disorder) trying to learn to accept each other's flaws and build a life and a family together. Sometimes I'm down, sometimes she's down. We both get buried sometimes under the weight of this place called the real world, but we know that the "us" that we fell in love with is still there, just beneath the surface, so whenever one of us is off the other is there to dig them out of it. We both dig at each other sometimes, but at least we dig each other :). This song reminds us that we will always have each other, when everything else is gone.
Livingthat Twelvelife+ I wish you and your wife all the best in the future. Keep being each others rock and guide during the tough times. God bless!
well this was cute as fuck
Two perfect people*
My boyfriend is bipolar and I have two autistic children I have no idea what’s wrong with me lol
That's cute
After almost 20 years of listening to their music, in 3 days finally going to see them live... A dream come true
Texas?
foram duas
@@shawnebush2238 Costa Rica, a small country from Latin America, that's why it's so hard to see them live
That must've been dope. lol
@@kennethsolano4119 same feeling! Tiquicia!
Dedicated this song to my fiance as a promise and oath to him.
We both struggle with anxiety and depression but I will always be there to pick him up, comfort him, help him grow and DIG him out of his bad place. ❤️
Hope he knows how you feel. You need exactly what you want to give him
He most definitely does, and he takes care of me as well. ☺️
@Hppy Cmpr I feel like everybody needs somebody's help to an extent. I agree, needing someone is unhealthy, we don't need each other to survive or live but we are compassionate with each other and care one one another.
So please don't stick your nose in where it's not wanted and say some stupid shit like that to a stranger.
@Hppy Cmpr Listen lady, I don't know you and don't really want to hear more from you.
Keep being mad, I can't do anything about how you feel. 🤷♀️
What a beautiful example of a relationahip
‘Dig’ is me and my husband’s oath to help each other out if something‘s covering the better part of ourselves. That we’ll always have each other when everything else is gone. Such a powerful song! ✨
Same. We made this our wedding song in 2009.
Do you know other songs that give the same vibe?@@lauriefredmonsky3301
Don’t get me wrong, I love Drive, but no doubt Dig hits you really hard
Dig hits much differently to drive. Both are beautiful songs but this is another level
Couldn’t have said it any better
I agree. I dont know why people choose drive over dig when it comes to the common favorites. Especially on the radio
Fuggin right
Try wish you were here, 100xbetter than drive.
Even are you in is A fun song.
Such a powerful song burst out crying every time I hear it love you incubus. Your music is so beautiful it gets into your soul what an incredible band you are ❤
This is one of those songs you always can come back to and feel the same feeling
So true!
Yesss
I know right? It's almost scary makes me feel 22 again and I'm almost 35. Reminds me of when I was young and hopeful.
Its quite amazing to see what I feel when you scroll through beloved video's comment section.
They don't make this kinda vibe any more..
This song has been, is still and will always be medicine for the soul.
Yess! It really does do something to you
This song digs me up from under what is covering the better part of me.
I always come to this song for healing 🙌
This is the first Incubus song I ever heard. I was 11 years old and it made me cry. Just turned 29 and Incubus is still my favorite band and this song is still making me cry. So glad to see them getting their flowers lately!
I was 15 when I first heard Incubus. A certain shade of green was the first Incubus song I heard, I was hooked after that 😊❤ I'm 38 now n still listen to their tunes DAILY
Drive was my first. I was a youngin but man that started my musical DNA.
My Mom passed away August and I went from Oregon to California to help with arrangements - and I was so lucky me and my son went to Hollywood Bowl and saw Incubus -it was so amazing -,we both felt her smiling down on us. God bless you Nico-you made Grandma proud.
The range in Brandon's voice is so amazing, Mike and the rest of the band does not miss a beat. Don't think any other band can compare. ❤
True but Mike has an awesome voice too i wish he had a part where you could hear him isolated. Just a phase and nice to know you are two of my favorites because of his harmonized parts it is my opinion anyway
Mike is in a league of his own. He's a musical genius.
In flames live, you should give a try
We all have a weakness
Some of ours are easier to identify
Look me in the eye
And ask for forgiveness
We'll make a pact to never speak
That word again, yes, you are my friend
We all have something that digs at us
At least we dig each other
So when weakness turns my ego up
I know you'll count on the me from yesterday
If I turn into another
Dig me up from under what is covering
The better part of me
Sing this song
Remind me that we'll always have each other
When everything else is gone
We all have a sickness
That cleverly attaches and multiplies
No matter how we try
We all have someone that digs at us
At least we dig each other
So when sickness turns my ego up
I know you'll act as a clever medicine
If I turn into another
Dig me up from under what is covering
The better part of me
Sing this song
Remind me that we'll always have each other
When everything else is gone
Oh, each other when everything else is gone
Oh...
If I turn into another
Dig me up from under what is covering
The better part of me
Sing this song
Remind me that we'll always have each other
When everything else is gone
Oh, each other, (sing this song), when everything else is gone
Oh, each other, when everything else is gone
Every time I click this video I have to listen the whole way thru even tho I've heard it a million times. The song never gets old and always touches the heart and soul.
Thanks!
Thank you brother!👌
💖💖💖💖
This song is the most spiritual song i have ever heard and felt. Thank you Incubus
That's how I feel about Incubus & this song!❤
Big time
Always loved this song but it wasn't until my current relationship and my bipolar depression was having a serious effect on it, then I really understood what these lyrics are speaking to
I'm a guy in my 40's. Never a big fan of Incubus. Then I saw them at Rock on the Range a few years ago. Was totally blown away and been a fan ever since
I know that feeling been twice to see them and they are amazing on stage!
@Al Pacino if you like harder sounding stuff check out their earlier work - it's amazing and much harder - you wouldn't even recognize them
Sometimes thats all it takes brotha!
oh yeah... they are great live.
Same here, knew the band from radio hits but it wasn't until I saw them live in 09 that I realized how gifted they really are. Truly inspiring music
One of the best songs ever made. This song will always remain close to my heart.
Same here and I agree!
Most underrated band of all time. The sound was original yet ahead of it's time. The vocalist has tremendous range. Extremely talented band. Love incubus
42 million views, not so underrated.. Great band for sure. Underrated is not a compliment. my 2 cents.
This one never gets old. The bass line is sublime. The lyrics powerful. I find myself quoting them often.
Beautiful song. I often envy people who find true love, and people who have people by their side that will unconditionally stay by their side. That's something I don't have. I already know that there's no one out there for me, and I've accepted that. To everyone who has someone true, value that person, appreciate them.
Death_Dealer Humble of you, but you're not the only one who feels that way. And if we have that much in common, it sort of implies that you shouldn't lose hope. Forget faith that the pieces will fall into place, faith burns out in time without reassurance anyway. But don't lose hope. And I won't either.
Death_Dealer You could try a goat. I hear that the derka derka's over seas love goats.
MikoxBig6930 lol wtf?
Death_Dealer
Just be yourself man. Try your best to wear nice clothes, get your haircut etc. It doesnt' cost much. A t-shirt and a pair of jeans doesn't cost much. Then just be yourself, it's all you can be. Don't be nervous around girls, they're only girls and be honest to them. I know this doesn't sound like great advice but there's a girl out there for everyone.
Death_Dealer Love yourself like you love your favorite person, and you life will always be golden! We choose who we are and who we become, it's sad we live in a society that's shallow in so many aspects.
Saw this clip on Mtv when I was 7 and had no knowledge of English nor any way of looking for this song. I've been trying since pretty much that time and it is now, at 23 years old that I've finally found the first song that I've ever liked that was discovered by myself; it's a small thing but this is a dream come true and has definitely made my week and possibly my month
“We all have something that digs at us…at least we dig each other…” what great lyric….
Hell yeah!
This is one of those songs that speaks to everyone. Everyone needs a therapist- whether paid, through a friend, a family member, or this song! I worry for those that don't have somebody to talk too, and I hope you find your people.
We all have a weakness
But some of ours are easy to identify.
Look me in the eye
And ask for forgiveness;
We'll make a pact to never speak that word again
Yes you are my friend.
We all have something that digs at us,
At least we dig each other
So when weakness turns my ego up
I know you'll count on the me from yesterday
If I turn into another
Dig me up from under what is covering
The better part of me
Sing this song
Remind me that we'll always have each other
When everything else is gone.
We all have a sickness
That cleverly attaches and multiplies
No matter how we try.
We all have someone that digs at us,
At least we dig each other
So when sickness turns my ego up
I know you'll act as a clever medicine.
If I turn into another
Dig me up from under what is covering
The better part of me.
Sing this song!
Remind me that we'll always have each other
When everything else is gone.
Oh each other....
When everything
Else is gone.
Only one
Thanks legend :)
Alvin Urbano 😍😍
These lyrics bring to me the meaning of friendship.
This still a big hit today. This one of those unforgettable songs that stays with you even if it's been years since you last heard it.
This is my favorite song! My dad's initials are DIG. He passed away in 2009 and this song has really pushed me to look at his passing in a better way. I know that I'll always have him even though he's gone.
god bless ur father and urself :)
oh god
SUGAR XYLER what's anything I said or in this song got to do with God?
wasn't talking to you
Shit... That's deep Miranda.. Sorry to hear about your Dad.. but hey! He is definitely alive through this song, so that's really great.. His memory will live in you through this awesome masterpiece.
This song takes me out of my deep depression. This band since I was a teen has saved my life so many times. Music is food for the soul.
Rock on ❤️! I hope you are doing great now!
Such a great song, to remind you that when you have someone in your life that you can really rely on, no matter how heavy your load is, you can get helped. Thank you Incubus!
Hit after hit after hit. I don’t know about anyone else, but I feel an intense spiritual pull to this band. To Brandon and Ben’s voice… the melodies they discovered…it’s so multidimensional… Incubus is such a great band and I’m so thankful they exist ❤
That arpeggio just hits right into my memories of youth and exudes nostalgia. You really get that feeling of what teenage love once felt like. Mike Einziger is a genius. Such an amzing group!!
Totally agree, couldn't say better words on this guitar melody... That's genius and pure feelings...
Just beyond BEAUTIFUL. I'm frickin' cryin' now. My sister, Bert, and I CANNOT listen to this without balling our eyes out. Reminds me of my niece, Bert's daughter,
Audrey Rose, who was hit by a car and killed when she was only 10 yrs old.. She'd be 30 today. The most beautiful, kind, and sweet little girl I have ever known. I Loved her like my own. We had a strong bond. This song brings Bert and I all the wonderful, GOOD MEMORIES of Audie. I'm surprised at how many people are also reminded of passed loved ones by this gorgeous song. It really comforted me to read all the similar comments. My heart breaks for every one, tho. How amazing is this band to create a song that evokes such similar emotions from so many of us? It's quite a gift they've given us. Peace to you All!
Sorry for your lost. Life is trippy ain't it beautifully painful and yet hopeful.
My condolences 🙏🏾 ❤️
@@StromLxrd6 You're sweet. Thank you!
@@10meme11 Bless your heart! Thank you so much.
Im twelve and as crazy as it sounds I've been listening to Incubus ever since I was born. This song brings back memories of my childhood, also bringing back the nostalgic moments when my mom would sing this to me when I was sad. I love this song and know all the words by heart, and just listening to it can make the pain go away. The meaning to this song is so deep and thoughtful, that it's not only happy but it's showing affection to one another. I would also like to thank the band themselves, for making great music, capable of making people happy. I will always listen to your music.
😸👌
I didn't know a 12 year old could get nostalgia
I made that comment in March, and I was going through a hard time so yeah. There was a little bit of nostalgia. I'm thirteen now anyway lmfao.
+ninjagomaster312 glad someone gets it xD
+Emzzy Lou 55 keep listening to incubus my dear, if not now, when .?
When my wife gets mad at me which is often I play this song and suddenly things are right in our world again. Love u. Honey
Nice... man.
Beautiful.... Anything to keep a love alive...
hahah cuz shes the sickness oh no
Likewise :)
One love
🥰🥰
I've always loved this song, but when my boyfriend and I saw Incubus perform it live, 4 feet in front of us, it struck me that it was our song! I cried, it was magical.
I'm so jealous lmao
I’ve always loved incubus but this album … this song. I remember when it came out and I loved it but now that I’m older and have done some healing the music video makes a lot more sense. With so much betrayal and heartbreak possibly the thought of looking at love and entertaining the idea of being with another is quite terrifying. But when he finally allowed someone to be patient while breaking down that wall with them it gave a sense of hope and optimism. The right person will be patient with you and kind while you’re healing. Together or apart if it’s supposed to be and the inner work is done anything is possible. ❤ #hope
I love how important this song is to everyone, it's just as important to me. We all take something good from this, in our own way
My best friend died 6/17/24. We would talk about this song. We used this song as kind of our way around life and our relationship/friendship.
So when weakness turns my ego up
I know you'll count on the me from yesterday
If I turn into another
Dig me up from under what is covering
The better part of me
Sing this song
Remind me that we'll always have each other
When everything else is gone.
Now, she's gone. It's left a massive hole in my life and luckily this song invokes beautiful memories of her.
This could be the only song that I could listen too for the rest of my life
I'm with you on that for sure!
Me too
Nice choice! It's "Mono" by Fightstar for me.
with Deftones - Xerces or Sextape :) //// Enjoy Incubus
Same for me 🙌
When incubus comes up for the rock n roll hall of Fame, please vote for
them.
The rock and roll hall of fame doesn't matter even a little bit.
Still though, if not now when?
You never truly appreciate music until you get older. Incubus is a band I never gave a chance after A Crow Left of the Murder. This song is so beautiful and his range is amazing.
Light grenades it's also a great record but I am afraid after that incubus slowing changed to a different band and i honestly prefer the old musics
2024! And I still love this band. I’m 43 now, this song makes me think of my sons
Missing bands and music like this!
Theyre STILL around.. haven't you heard "If not now, when?" Or "8" .. like a fine wine their music ONLY gets better with age. 🍷
Why?
I think a large portion of us are.
@@alexanaya6820 means large portion of people are lazy and retarded? Tell me something new.
The song is about forgiveness and compassion. From the video I always saw it as someone that is depressed and love shows up to dig him up and save him. I hope love comes soon for me. I'm getting older and time is running out.
just because this life is fragile doesnt mean it ends when the body dies. it may sound weird but i think death is just the beginning. energy doesnt die it transforms into something else. we will be fine. much love dios
This song will forever remind me of February 2007 in San Diego partying before deploying to Iraq. I vividly remeber driving around SD listening to this just fucking enjoying Cali.
Ah 20 yr old me.... Feels like it was a different lifetime.
thanks for your service.surprised no one said it yet.
... Thank you for your service. And I understand what you mean.
It makes me so happy and so sad to be able to instantly go back to that place. Like shit was great and awful all at the same time and it's something you can never go back to again.
Thanks buddy.
jami0070 I went on 2 deployments, finished active duty and moved back home. Finished school and worked. Idk I'm just a normal person working and living life.
Incubus has such a knack for creating meaningful songs without having to use complicated lyrics. Universal appeal.
Love the visual where she finally reaches him and just holds him.. makes me wish I had something like that.
You aren't alone
⛵⚓🦁. Wouldn't that be something.
@@christidaniel6941 I watched your vid, the best prayer breaking curse ever from lionofjudah. Amazing. The spiritual battle for our souls IS happening constantly. Thanks for posting. It's cutting edge filmmaking. Yahshua is King. ⛵⚓.
My favorite Incubus song. Finally got to see them live a few years ago and, of course, could not hold back my happy tears. Brandon was sick, but he powered through and still sounded amazing.
God what an absolute masterpiece.
My wife died and is okay will see her again and yes 11am was our song! 10/11/87 Love you Destiny always and forever. See you in His timing :).
Yes. Incubus level of talent is mind-boggling. I've been a professional musician for over 40 years (prog rock/fusion) and these guys are who I listen to.
Seen em live few years back here in Toronto.
Amazing
Hey Brandon. You have done very well in life. You have a unique talent that has resigned with me for years. Im in a dark world after my 8 year old son was kidnapped. Im always turn to your music for help
@@SocaliBH Hello, and I'm extremely sorry to hear about your son. That's a nightmare for any parent. We all draw strength from somewhere, and I'm pleased and honored to be able to bring you some degree of happiness and comfort in such a terrible and tragic time. We'll keep you and your son in our hearts and prayers.
this album brings me back to being 21 and carefree. I'd listen to this on road trips, sauna sessions before/after a workout at the gym on my iPod, at parties. Very nostalgic. Still gives me chills
This Is Literally One Of The Best Songs Ever Made And I'm Not Kidding It's Just Amazing ❤❤❤
Agreed!
I came here to cry 😪
It's a good song but what you say is up for opinion
at first i didn’t like it, but the more i heard it, the more i fell in love. this absolutely rocks
@@SUGAR_XYLER I did the same so many times but now it's finally happy and love it just as much
Such an underrated song...Probably on of their best. The message of this song digs at my heart so deeply. Dont ever give up on someone.
I didn’t know how well written incubus songs were until now. I’m addicted.
One of the best bands to have ever existed, in terms of musical versatility & diversity, lyrics writing, use of a variety of traditional musical instruments & strong vocal by the frontman. Will remain as one of my favourite bands of all time.
RHCP/INCUBUS are the most enduring bands EVER. Through all their musical evolutions they only get better and better
I don't agree
My two favorite bands!
My favs too
They still had better tunes with Dirk
right they always talking about
There are songs that when you listen to them for the 1st time you'll know they will stay with you for the rest of your life, this is one of those songs.
I'm physically incapable of not singing this song at the top of my lungs when driving around. Such genuine lyrics. Insane how underrated they are.
Fell in love with this song recently and my Goodness it’s absolutely beautiful! Greetings from Kenya
Oh my goodness The rock and alternative genres raised me I swear. Incubus has always been one of my many favorites. There's something about their sound that just really gets to me and puts me in this amazing mood I truly feel like I'm home again. Sitting in the house that built my family and I . You know how you hear a song over and over again that it just kinda becomes background music ? That's how rock and alternative music was for me . It was just always on. I could be waking up to my father making his special breakfast on a Sunday morning and I'd wake up to it. I could just walk in the dim lit kitchen and the music was always playing, It would play while we sat down at the table as a family. After my father was murdered not far from home we moved away from the house we never planned on leaving because it was too hard and the "background music" began to mean the world to me. I had never taken it for granted in the first place but the lyrics mean much more to me than they ever had . This is definitely my favorite Incubus song. It reminds me of the one person that knows me more than anyone else and can just get to me and I can get to him.
Sophia Gervasio That really gave me the touchy feelies, on some real shit! My mom passed so I know how music is one of the best ways to take us back to that moment we want to feel again!
She dedicated to me this awesome song when I was having ego problems, this song helped me all these years. Unfortunately the person who dedicated this has gone away. Miss her so much
This song resonated with me big time. The older i get the more i understand lyrics. It’s wild.
2020 and still one of the best songs I've ever had the pleasure of hearing. Crazy how a song can invoke both sadness and happiness. love Incubus
One of my favorite songs by Incubus. What a beautiful song by an awesome band! I needed a good cry today and this song does it every time. A masterpiece by these guys for sure!
Yea , this is one of those songs u can listen to when ur having just about any emotion. Sad, happy, angry. It works.
Is this therapy? I truly love the people who love me. And the people who love me when I can't love myself.
This band is highly underrated, my dad would play this song for me when i was young, and right now I really am needing to hear it, since I am going through some mental health issues so its good to get my mind off of it for now. I hope this song makes your day better too.
Hope u r doing great now
@@tamaraquintero6753. Thank you! I'm doing much better now!
@@cherrygirl15 glad to hear that and u r not alone whenever u need me u can reach me
@@tamaraquintero6753 Thank you! Have a wonderful day! :)
Light Grenades is one of those rare musical gems that gets better with the passage of time. I listened to this album religiously for the better part of two years when it came out. I found so much encouragement from the vulnerability displayed in these songs and how they relate to the human condition. This album will always have significance to me and a special place in my being. One of my top ten albums of all time regardless of genre.
