Incubus - Sick Sad Little World (from Look Alive)

[@Kid_Ying]

Incubus has an incredibly impressive catalogue, but I do think this is one of their best songs. And this is the best version of it I've heard.

[@cpellett0821]

This is my favorite song of theirs! Well... Kind of like having twins and you could never choose I have two favorites (this one and Anna Molly). The way the chorus turns to almost a whisper musically with the insistent but quieted drums... Gives me chills. I want to live inside this song.

[@Kid_Ying]

​@@cpellett0821 Yes! Make Yourself is like the first time actually bought a CD back in like 2000. But this is one of my favorites from the band. Lately I've been listening to In the Company of Wolves a lot. But the entire Light Grenades album has a special place in my heart.

[@MickaSceneMusic]

What a moment in time. This performance gives me chills almost brought me to tears. Still one the greatest of all time. Saw them perform this on the Gold Coast, Australia last week one of the highlight moments. They are still as brilliant as ever. 🙏🏽

[@xyz9610]

Mike Enzinger is a genius.

[@capo_di_capi]

No, the two guys he rips off the most are though, Robert Fripp and Andy Summers, but at least he'd be the first to admit it.

[@jamesstinebaker1290]

@@capo_di_capi idk, that's a stretch man.. Mikey has an incredibly unique, recognizable and refreshing sound. He doesn't rip anything off, he takes influence from people, just like every other musician.

[@jamesstinebaker1290]

@@capo_di_capi sounds like someone can't play the last lick of the solo 😂😂😂

[@whitehall0]

That bass solo gets me every time. I listen to it every day, and it still gives me chills. Thank god for this band

Dirk was a good player. Ben is an exceptional one.

[@jaysonmacmillan7503]

@@billybutcher4995Ben can do so much more than what Dirk can. Look at Dirk’s new band. Pop drivel. Ben can do so much more and is so much more a musician and artist.

[@dainetv2022]

I think when it comes to bass alone, Dirk is still the boss.. But I believe if Ben didn't take over, this band is done like 10-15 years ago. Ben is such a high level and very creative musician that adds so much versatility to this band. I really hope Ben's well recovered from his illness if ever they tour Asia again 🤟🤟🤟

The album version of this song kicks my ass. This live version kicks my ass and punches me in the nuts. Hurts so good.

[@jaxsenthomas859]

I went to like 7 shows after crow left of the murder and this was always my fav live. Then the first show i saw for light grenades they didnt play this. Amazing show but sucked to miss it.

This was just beautiful Idc what anyone says incubus is one of the best band to ever exist 🔥

[@lisalegrand2186]

One of their best works ever made. Mike and Jose really shine on this one.

[@jaysonmacmillan7503]

Brandon’s vocals are insane on here and the bass solo in here is ridiculous

[@lcarthel]

BEST live version of this EVER!

I wish I could erase this song from my memory so I could experience it for the first time again

[@s70driver2005]

Houligan1990 I wish i could do that for a lot of things!

[@Ki30]

oh man, i kind of remember as well... Blew me away to a special place!

[@matisyahup613]

I know im biased because these guys started getting big when I was a teen, and everyone thinks their generation is the best, but seriously, aren't these guys the best rock band of all time? I feel like the barometer for good art is when it sounds unique, not just some attempt to copy another's work. Incubus has that quality of being set apart from the rest, and their music makes me feel happy. some music I like as well, but its good If im at the gym and I want to get a boost of adrenaline and feel angry, but incubus is like divine. the kind of music you want to listen to on a serene seashore, and hope for happiness and joy. in a world that is so scripted, fake, politically correct, and robotic, its so refreshing to listen to pure art.

[@masonpikey6411]

Completely agree. Been listening since I was tiny little kid. I love this band to death. Truly so different and unique and changing. The only other band I dig as much is Led Zeppelin (yes I know they took A LOT)

[@matiasduran7535]

Well, there's also The Mars Volta, they have an unique vision of "rock" too, like Incubus. Different visions of the rock genere

[@aurelioherrera2931]

Matthew - Well fkn said. I think a lot of us feel the same way for Incubus.

[@dalilamartinez9122]

I absolutely agree with everything you said. I’m thrilled to read your comment is recent and that you feel THE SAME way about Incubus as so many of their fans. You couldn’t be anymore right and I thank you for sharing such dope, REAL, genuine thought of them with us comment readers!!

[@dainetv2022]

The best rock band is a subjective topic. But my personal opinion is the same as yours. Incubus is the best rock band of all time.

[@jam_nineworkz]

2:45 vocal harmony blending is heavenly. Had to be said.

[@drakebrown4906]

Ive commented on this so many times throughout the years. Coming back to say there will never be a band like this ever again. These guys are and always will be eons above any other band. Period

[@jeffstanley2972]

They sound just as good today as they did 20 years ago when morning view came out. Amazing band! Seen them 7 times and each time still gives me chills.

[@Plexifor]

this is the most beautiful performance ive ever seen literally

[@SkaMasta097]

This song really translates well to a live setting.

[@RickPaniagua]

GOD, I love it when live versions are better than studio versions!

[@tittat9351]

I know right. It's awesome

[@JuicyHabboNuts]

I'm jealous of anyone that got to experience that live. It had to be purely magical.

Revisiting this video 12 years later from when I first heard this live version of Sick Sad Little World and I remember the first time I heard this part at 4:52 is the moment I truly realize how great Incubus really is. Listening to this part just gave me a high I’ve never felt before with music. Never felt so disconnected with existence at the moment. It was amazing.

[@AndrewSavedbyJesus]

One of the best live performances of any band I've ever seen...seen them twice and they're in the rare league of those bands that somehow sound even better live than on their albums.

[@DumDum95]

In the world today.. One really has to appreciate the few artists that sound just as fantastic live as they do on their albums. And, Incbus, they shine as one of the few that still do. Not to mention that they have beautiful lyrics that, in some way, can speak to anyone. I don't 'love' them per say, but I do admire them and always will. Love is a word you use when speaking of someone you -know-. But I must say, I sure as hell wish I knew Brandon so I could have the priviledge to say I love him.
