Incubus - Promises, Promises (Video)

[@thischanneldoesnotexistlol]

My parents never really got along, always arguing and fighting. During the times before their break up, we would go on road trips. I was about 4 or 5, and my dad would always ask me what I wanted to hear. I always picked the little white cd with black writing all over that I didn't know how to read yet. This was the second song on it, and my favorite one. When my mom and dad broke up, my dad would listen to the cd, and I could tell he was sad. I had limited visitations with my mom, and I would occasionally say stuff like, "I had a dream some bad men came and took you away from me and I cried" and "please come back, mommy". Eventually, something clicked. My parents got back together after many, many...humerus, in a way, events. I can recite that time of my life like a poem. But that wasn't all. My parents finally got married. And i, a little 5 year old flower girl, thanked all the guests by giving them rose petals, hehe. For the last couple of years, I've been looking for the cd. It contained so many memories.. My dad would always say he wasn't sure where it was, but if he saw it he'd give it to me. A few days ago, he walked into the house and handed it to me. It was in the glove box of his car the whole time, and he knew it. He said that it reminded him too much of the pain he went through with my mom for him to listen to, but since I liked it I could have it. But I said, "it shouldn't be painful. It should remind you how far we've come". I love incubus. ❤❤❤

[@jasonlandry8685]

Brandon has such a unique style. Most singers who use a vibrato do so in something of a eight-note-triplet. Brandon sings his vibrato in sixteenth notes, and to a trained ear, it makes his voice very unique

[@nicholasgautreaux1737]

I would venture to say it's even unique to the untrained ear so far as that one could appreciate his voice including deeming it unique, but just not fully understanding why and/or how to qualify it as such.

[@TylkoKurdeCo]

INCUBUS has been my favorite band since i was 12 years old! seen them live 7 times and dont go a day without them in my ears!!!!!!

[@ximoshu]

Too many times the world never gets to meet the most amazing people. Im so glad the whole world got to meet Brandon Boyd. He is a beautiful and kind soul. A voice for the voiceless, a safe place for the most tormented souls. In a world where a person can chose to be anything, thank you endlessly for choosing to be my beloved. Live long and prosper. X

[@Sano.28]

This song is special to me, in 2012 when I was graduating from high school... Everyone had to choose an entrance song and I was almost sure it would be this song but when it came time to say the song I decided to choose another song.. It was like I should remember this song as a sentimental memory and not as my graduation entrance song

[@deafchihuahua4902]

This could be my all time favorite song from INCUBUS. It hits me hard in the heart for some reason. It's so earthy and real.

[@alvaromartinez7101]

Mine too, and i like most of their songs but this one hits your soul, a true masterpiece

[@Hazzeled0]

people can be so stupid saying, this is not incubus..or..that they have changed so much since Morning view, Gosh, the incubus essence is still there..if you are really a fan you would not care the fact that they have to evolve and try different things...their essence is there...i love this song...all the recent stuff is pretty cool...i enjoy Brandon's voice and all the works from the band too...come on..grow up people. Incubus is still an amazing band and there is new material coming next year and i will be buying that cd as soon as is out. INCUBUS ROCKS!

[@brysonfrank6476]

I thought this was one of the closest songs to morning view. I think I liked light grenades the most though

[@marissac.6033]

Agreed and your right man.

[@jam0905]

This is funny to me just because when Morning View came out was when I first thought "they changed," so you're making me feel old. Truth is they have changed, several times, but they haven't lead me astray yet.

I'm sooo inlove with this song. Incubus has a magical way of creating music and catchy lyrics that will make their fans and listeners always dig into their craft. Their albums are treasures buried underneath the mediocrity of music industry nowadays. One of the still best bands of the 21st century.

[@androidabc]

I was lucky to see Incubus perform live (alongside Linkin Park back in 2012, a two-headliner show), and Brandon Boyd (as well as Chester Bennington) had a BEAUTIFUL singing voice in live performance. I was blown away, sooo good live.

[@blsk3719]

I have been to 13 incubus concerts since 2002, and this concert, well this tour, was THE BEST ONE ever. The ambiance was unreal and because this album was so underrated I felt like only THE TRUE FANS showed up and we were all on cloud 9 singing along. It was a really low key, mellow vibe and you could feel positive, loving and warm energy throughout the room. It was perfect.

[@carrennavela2348]
