Incubus - Nice to Know You

[@ArticulateDesignASMR]

The lyric about how much this feels like a waking limb, pins and needles....is honestly one of my favourite lines from any song ever. It's the most perfect metaphor for so many situations in life. Perfectly encapsulated in the song :D

[@childhoodepilepsy7048]

Cool guy who makes cool videos listens to cool people music????

[@peppylafew116]

@@childhoodepilepsy7048 jealous? Lol

[@leandros7662]

Brandon is such an amazing poet/lyricist. This song just feels so deep. Funny how he described the inspiration for the song - he fell asleep on his hand whilst on an airplane and it stayed numb for a long time, then when the sensation started coming back, the feeling was just indescribable. Lol

[@adolfomarin2098]

Would you mind explaining what that line means? English is not my mother language and despite knowing the literal meaning of each word I can't seem to find the whole sense...

[@traviscunningham66]

@@adolfomarin2098 To me the song is about spiritual awakening, or gaining a wider perspective on the world, connecting to something bigger than ourselves. Brandon compares the feeling of "waking" in his spirit to an arm or hand that was numb and begins to regain feeling and sensation.

[@georgefarmer7196]

Incubus will always be that one in a million band. Back in the late 90’s early 2000’s their sound was so distinctive, just listening to the first few seconds on every song you knew it was Incubus. And still here in almost 2022, their sound has been almost impossible to replicate.

[@Rise-ce1wb]

Yep, true .

[@prodNieva]

the same happens to me with limp bizkit, i hear a second of a song and i immediatily know its them, and with linkin park too

[@TunaMayoInumaki]

@@prodNievagood thing about LB is that you still know it’s LB when their new songs start playing unlike Linkin Park and Incubus who changed for the worse

[@dedgzus6808]

@@TunaMayoInumakiI agree. Limp Bizkit was short lived for a reason.

[@wpjohnston0213]

Every band member of Incubus brings an amazing sound, nothing is over done, and it is just so organized and distinct.

[@valnix4043]

Years later i finally grasp the wildly evocative concept of these lyrics. as someone who has been struggling with a myriad of health issues, both mental and physical, when you find out you're actually showing signs of improvement it feels a lot like regaining a limb. Like the lock on a part of one's self has finally been shattered. Nice to know you, goodbye!

These guys are so good live it is ridiculous. Especially when you realize the level of technical difficulty. Their music is deceptively complex, specifically Mike's guitar parts and the effects he uses. Despite all their success, I still think they are criminally underrated.

[@thatmanckid]

Nick Hester Yeah because contrary to popular belief, there is still an underground today in music that is considered steadied upon a public platform. You ride with the times, which is why a lot of bands that consider themselves strictly hc and revival DIY punk nowadays are actually just evolutions of crossover and thrash, like what the likes of Leeway and Slapshot gave us in the 80s. Hardcore punk has literally never died, it's just that now it's all one-man Bandcamp accounts and kids in XXXL tees selling 4-track EPs on tapes for the lulz of it all.

Era la época de comienzos de los 2000, tenía 11 años y no tenía ni la más remota idea que el rock sería tan importante e influyente en toda mi posterior vida. Eran los tiempos en que MTV en verdad pasaba música y cuando comenzaba este video algo tenían esos sonidos que hacia que me quedara viendolo, y después lo esperaba ansioso en los canales de videos musicales, actualmente cuando pongo este video y desde que se escucha el intro me remonta inmediatamente a aquella época en donde ignoraba tanto pero tenía curiosidad por todo, bendita música cuanta bendición le has traído a la humanidad.
