Incubus - Dig (ACOUSTIC/UNPLUGGED VERSION)

"Dig" is one of my favorite songs of all time. I was listening to it the other day and reading some of the comments posted and I came across several threads on KZbin and Reddit where people were looking for a studio quality acoustic version of the song. Oddly enough, there aren't any posted anywhere. There are a few concert versions but nothing that can be remastered well enough to remove the crowd noise and still be studio quality. I searched high and low but trust me when I say it doesn't exist - at least not one that is available to the public. It's a shame really, so I decided that one should be created ;)
I used the best/cleanest version of an acoustic guitar only version I could find ( • INCUBUS - Dig Acoustic... ) and paired it with the original studio recorded vocals and backing track.
Took me several days of working with it to get the multiple tracks synced up and mixed properly (adding layers/compression/reverb/cross fading, etc.) to get this to something that sounds as close to a studio recorded song as possible.
And with that... hope you enjoy listening!

[@Deadsea_1993]

Wow, so the acoustic guitar here is actually a fan made cover and you paired the regular version's vocals with it ? Incredible.

[@supernova1120]

Indeed 😄

I recently lost my sister. She was bedridden and totally incapacitated for many months. I can visualize her just laying there as I listen to the beautiful song. She had been a very kind person who unfortunately suffered from strokes and dementia. In the end, my sister was a totally different person; very confused and angry, however, I did what I had to do to assist. A friend of mine told me that it was my turn to carry the cross, as there no one else to care for her. It was a difficult and strssful period. This song reminds me of being there as she slowly slipped away, and remembering the good and difficult times.

God bless you

[@cristovaomiguel]

I'm happy to know my version was the best/cleanest you could find haha Great job sir! One of my favourite songs ever

[@JoeSmith-bp3cf]

This is one of the most important songs ever made.

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 Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, 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 when everything else is gone Oh, each other when everything else is gone

[@andreslere]

I didn't think it could be possible to improve this masterpiece. What an amazing job. This is just celestial.

[@paulapolanco6390]

This is my favorite song of all time of theirs. Incubus is one of my favorite bands of all time. ❤

[@NatanMoreira69]

I love Incubus guys, amazing band and this music is Peace in my heart

[@njcamba8583]

Listening to this during the Covid-19 virus Quarantine. Love and Light beams to everyone. Stay safe!

[@diazrichard]

This is one of the most important songs in life for me. I've been listening to it nearly 20 years. I remember watching the video for the first time as a teen at my grandmother's house. I didn't even understand it back then but I do now and it feels more relevant than ever..

[@karlomiguelborja8072]

This is one of my favorite song of Incubus. I hope there's an original acoustic for this, but this one is great and clean.

[@TheAlicelouis83]

There is no words ❤️ incubus just this one and everything is told... Genius

[@laurastuart1725]

Amazing, for real, beautifly done, actually deep and real

[@melissagabriel7449]

Was searching high and low for this to use as our wedding song. Cried when I heard your version. Thank you so much!

[@supernova1120]

That's amazing! Glad to know what I created has had such a positive impact on so many people. It truly warms my heart. 🥰 Congrats on your wedding!

[@mistysowards7365]

Omg unbelievable. How nobody has see this is unfathomable

[@floyn1]

Amazing job improving (if thats possible) what is already a stunning song. Thanks

[@doyino3176]

I cannot express how awesome you doing and uploading this, OP. I have loved this song since it first came out when i was a teen (it actually got me into incubus). I got my SO into Incubus and now they're one of his favorite bands. This is the song i want played at our wedding and as much as we love the OG, i figured an acoustic verison would help guests hear the lyrics. I have been hunting high and low and now i have finally found an acoustic version. Please keep this upload up. I super appreciate it! ❤️

[@maniswil2]

Amazing quality, thanks so much. Holy wow, been listening for days, and I just read the description.

[@michaeljamesmccabe]

Thanks for doing this Shaun. And really, you did an amazing job with this. Thoroughly enjoyed this, multiple times.

[@SIG-ORG]

This song has incredible meaning for me. I can't put into words how beautiful this version of it that you have put together is. My husband and I are planning to have a vow renewal for our 15 year anniversary (we eloped as crazy barely legals at the courthouse) and we have always wanted to use this as our wedding song. Thanks to you, we finally have a version of this song that fits the occasion. For others planning to do this as well, if you slow the speed of this song down to either 90% or 95% it is perfect. Really moved me.

[@haaimee]

This is amazing . I wish incubus made this possible before . They only have a live version of it . This is great . Thank you !

[@Faz1011]

What you’ve done here is amazing mate :)

[@jhaquelinairrenorodriguez2465]

Thank you soooooooooooo much, you have no idea how amazing is this version. greetings from Colombia

[@Benjamin-il4cr]

This is awesome, thanks for make/share this beatiful master piece

[@I_LUV_ROCK]

This is an awesome version of this song! 😉 I ❤ it! 😜❤🤘🎸

[@Doc_Fischer]

Man that sounds amazing. What would kind of blow it out of the water as far as it being acoustic is if you could set in Tal Wilkenfeld’s low bass line gently in the background. Heard her play the riffs in another video from a. Midwest concert she sat in on . Smooth as silk !

[@96t5wagon]

Had I not read the description I would've never known this wasn't a studio recording! Wonderful job!

[@supernova1120]

You're so kind. Thank you!

[@Carmellasandy]

[@-isaachz18-]

Im the 800th like!

[@michaelsanchez1616]

This acoustic set needed a drummer. For me, the emotion just doesn't carry over from the studio version without the percussion.

[@martinsotomarquez]

¿Guitar Tab?

[@joanharris1836]

Do you think you could do “Counting Stars” by OneRepublic?? Please

[@cyberneticorganismskynet]

Now Incubus and Brandons energy use to be so incredible.. did some disease get under his skin . It happens to All The Best FTW

[@LickAlotaPuss69x]

I've been searching high and low for studio quality acoustic of DIG and after reading everything you did to make this possible... Good fuckin' job! 🍻
