"Diamonds And Coal" - Incubus

[TheLaughingOut]

People who only use 10% of their brain think that diamonds come from coal. ;)

[PrinceMaino]

@TheLaughingOut ok Diamond start as Carbon, are you happy now? The matter is the sense of the phrase ... it isn't a fact of % brain using, it's simply not being shallow! We don't care if Coal and Diamond are isotopes ... maybe you should think about the real meaning of ignorance, or cleverness ...

[TheLaughingOut]

@PrinceMaino It's just a joke. Both the idea that Diamonds start from coal and that we only use 10% of our brains are myths that it seems most people consider to be true.

[glambabee52]

stfu se7enslotted toaster pussy bitch never dis brandon boyds genius lyrics ihate posers like you.

[Se7enSlottedToaster]

Diamonds start as coal? False. Diamonds and coal are totally different forms of carbon.

[Bonesoup69]

@Se7enSlottedToaster True but the Carbon is re-arranged into the structure of Diamond under millions lbs of pressure and thousands of degrees of heat...but than that looses it's poetic value

[TheRubyrawr]

As amazing as always.

[Gabizinhastocker]

;)



[ChenaniahDrummer]

The shit at the end totally killed it..

[anchan15]

One of my favorite Incubus songs!

[iloveRedVsBlue]

I love how 'diamonds and coal' and 'oil and water' are on the same album. both songs are polar opposites

[guitarfanatic]

@iloveRedVsBlue nothin gets passed you eh

[iloveRedVsBlue]

@guitarfanatic nope, not a thing. haha

[plus44fanatics]

Can people please stop saying mike wrote dirks parts. They said in an interview that each member would usually fool around with other instruments all the time and if they made something that sounded cool they would use it. I swear people blow up that rumor just so Ben has another leg to stand on in arguments.

[italia10588]

@RAVENakaR I mean, I actually love their latest album, which I vehemently hated at first, but a return to the more Ingram view sound would be amazing. I dont think its possible without Alex though. He is miles better technically and creatively then Ben.

[italia10588]

@italia10588 Morning* damn phone.

[jimmerjimm]

@italia10588 Technically perhaps, but Mike wrote a lot of the bass lines for Dirk.

More recently, Ben has demonstrated that he can slap just fine too. It just isn't his style (or the band's anymore).

[italia10588]

@RAVENakaR That whole album was so much better then light grenades. I wish they'd journey on back to that sound.

[jcr21]

@MsBaseball1 that's true. I'm glad I'm seeing them both in the same month...10 days apart. Woo.

[MissKuchiki]

love this song, and the lyrics are amazing.

[a1Drummer07]

I guess "even diamonds start out as graphite" is too hard to rhyme, eh? :)

[sixsixsik]

@a1Drummer07 even diamond's light starts out as graphite....eh eh?

[rob1upon1gsxr1000]

incubus has become incupuss. this is just gay.

[OneRepublicxox]

11 people are never gonna be a diamond[: They're forever COAL ;D

[win32terminator]

@OneRepublicxox Coal in some years will be more precious than diamonds ..

[justyoohan]

@Onerepublicxox STFU

[gaurav007roy]

@win32terminator atleast ull shine ;)

[kauffmankings420]

@OneRepublicxox wow only 2 more dislikes in 8 months :o but there shouldnt have been any in the first place i mean come on. its Incubus :D

[MichaelNetwork]

Incubus ummm yeah they get it...this is music. They never gave into the "mainstream" pressure to make "commercial" songs. They never cared about anything other than good poetic music. Good Look Incubus

[bpo87]

in spite of this we're doing just fine even niggers start out as blacks.

[BoddhasServants]

@bpo87 do you think that is amusing or something?

[Dakotaen]

@BoddhasServants

Agreed. That one needs some work. I mean, being a nigger is like the total low point a black person can reach, I'd think.

[nakedxlemon]

@bpo87 as horrible as that is, it kinda made me laugh lol

[a1Drummer07]

@bpo87 In spite of this we're doing just fine even humanity has its setbacks.

Keep that shit to yourself, bpo87

[AxelGerrior415222]

You can get the audio-mp3 of this vid at greatgrabber doht cohm.

[nothingsafe84]

I love it

[jasonchmiel]

I'm not quite sure the lyric "Yeah, if it's right to pick a fight, we're

Fingers in a sugar bowl." makes much sense to me. Does someone care to offer up their interpretation?

[piccadillydave]

@jasonchmiel that's right. just look on a lyrics website, like metrolyrics

[clevelandfail]

@jasonchmiel Really? I hope you're kidding.... they get in a lot of fights

[savooli]

@jasonchmiel

Yo, so the phrase, "fingers in a sugar bowl" means you are doing something you shouldn't be doing. So I'm thinking if you replace the meaning with its phrase you get, "If it's right to pick a fight, we're doing what we shouldn't be doing" ,but it's all up to interpretation. 

[jasonchmiel]

@savooli Ahh that must be it. Thank you very much! Its much better to respond like this than like @clevelandfail did. Kudos.

[Jazzarus]

What's the song at the very end? I'd like to know please.

[pimpindymepiece]

i lovee this song. i've loved incubus since i was in 7th grade. can't wait to see them at smokeoutt next weekend! brandon is the man of my dreams!! lol

[HiTruster]

[bazuka7]

[skab1up]

[EIRIYUKILOVER4EVA]

Song fits perfectly <3

[kookyluv]

superb! Definitely makes me listen to this over and over and over again... 

[tattoofthesun]

my favorite song on the album

[nightshade322]

lmao the start of the song totally sounds like a tv show could use it for like a transition or like the into or somthing lmao

LOVE INCUBUS OR DIE

[ballsnface123]

lifes not perfect even diamonds started as coal !!!!!!!!!!!

[ulove2cme]

@ballsnface123

ok dont go being a douche they started as carbon which coal basically is but who cares f off

[corpser51]

@ulove2cme He's not the one being a douche. "Diamonds start as coal" are lyrics from the song you're listening to while attempting to mock random people on youtube...

[OwOwOwned]

@ballsnface123 its actually

"love isn't prefect even diamonds start out as coal"

but ye this song rocks

[Ichliebemusikundybd]

My favorite song off of Light Grenades, I love the story behind this song's lyrics.

[dbz3r0]

somehow the catchy tune gives me hope since successes are the fruits of failures :D

[dajapa]

"we think way too much" guys XD

[SuperSeb81]

@ericopey: You tell him dude! What a twat...I wonder if he knows that snow is made of water, or that cheese started life as milk...aaah, the ignorance of this world :)

[vizardichigo08]

sino bang pakshet ang nagsasabing walang dating ang Light Grenades???

mga wik.

[hatsuharu333]

I love how Incubus's songs all have some message to send out, especially for their newer stuff. They all make you FEEL something, and that's great music right there!

I love them so much! My favorite band for a long time now :3

[landocommando88]

Why this song isn't a hit is WAY beyond me!

[rockjuice123]

incubus.. a very unique band ... C:

[ericopey]

To the guy who commented about how you wouldn't think diamonds have anything to do with coal, but then you thought about how they are both a big part of our economy...

Dude, read a friggin' book, man. "Even diamonds start as coal" Do you realize what he is talking about here? No, you don't.... *sigh* He is talking about the fact that diamonds are formed over years and years under heavy heavy pressure deep in the earth. Coal does this too, but coal forms before diamonds. dumbass.

[archiesonic]

Yeah, what the fuck do diamonds have to do with coal?

[wybighitter21]

the songs about giving people time to develop their personalities and not judging too swiftly...because even diamonds, which are beautifully stunning gemstones, start as worthless lumps of coal. read a book or something.

[archiesonic]

how touching

[diehardiabolo]

Everything. Coal is a pre requisite to coal. Both are allotropes of carbon.

[TheCatcherlnTheRye]

Given enough time, pressure, and temperature, coal will become a diamond. That's where natural diamonds come from. Artificial diamonds are made from graphite due to it being pure carbon. Diamonds are also carbon, but their bonds are shaped differently which is what gives them their density and hardness. So in other words, the song is saying, "This may be something lackluster right now, but give it time and it will become something rare and special."

[jennyebrooke]

@archiesonic i certainly hope you're not serious

[sylvixa909]

@jennyebrooke ...

[jennyebrooke]

@sylvixa909 ?

[sylvixa909]

@jennyebrooke .....

[jennyebrooke]

@sylvixa909 k so you're either retarded or a troll.... /sigh

[sylvixa909]

@jennyebrooke retarded ;)

[jennyebrooke]

@sylvixa909 you probably shouldn't tell anyone that.

[sylvixa909]

@jennyebrooke it ...was a joke..uh..yea ...

[jennyebrooke]

@sylvixa909 so was mine but now i'm not so sure yours was. XD

[sylvixa909]

@jennyebrooke this convo has been going on for lyk..ever.

[leunamcrowley2]

También el demonio fue un ángel antes, Aura

[cronoukie]

i fuckin love the name of this song! diamonds and coal, although on initial instinct might not seem to be interconnected, are so intertwined into our economy and social status' that its almost serendipitous!

[ryanteddy]

Fag

[juiceitorloseit13]

Incubus makes me want to blaze some endo.

[ProfessorNguyen]

Incubus is the only band that i can think of that has the ability to write songs that grow on you. In 2006 I would never have thought that I would dig this album but here i stand today in love with it!!!!

[yadatalatura]

what about third eye blind?

[ranelproductions]

This is a good song. Incubus is such a great band.

[0xickythumpx0]

O_o What was that song at the end?

[simmy1055]

I love this song!

[EbrethilDia]

Incubus has great lyrics. Fantastic songs!

[landocommando88]

Two parts on this song give me mad chills! Both played by Mike =)

2:00 & 2:50

[vertlondon]

where is the sound from at the end of the clip, please ?

[gumdokim]

love this song! :D

[rockski]

i still miss the old incubus....

[12ed12ocket]

that's not a new album - that's basically a single. I think there are 2 new songs by them and they're included in their upcoming compilation album.

[raffnes]

whats the song at the end? five stars!

[Wrkoutguy08]

The last song on the end of the album is Earth to Bella Part 2. One of my faves too.

[AlexisAgainst]

stfu foo fighters are heroes

[xxxxKairixxxx]

I would kill to see these guys live! They're like one of the few bands that are kick ass when live.

[tyreal14]

I think that Incubus has been around longer if I am not mistaken

[hannahthepiratebitch]

im ashamed that today is the first day i've ever listened to incubus! they're extremo awesome!!!!

[Timfacebookedurmum]

same for me (Y)

[morena1019]

hehe

don't be ashamed. i dicovered them early this year. but yea they're amazing! :)

[captyutube]

me too ,,,,poor me.....

[Guitarkid708]

great song!

[shovelhead1966]

why is there so many of us that have foofighters and incubus as our two fav bands???? are you other guys musicians too and you have an ear and appreciation for good music or is this just a strange coincidence?

[crazymiles]

Or it could be that you're just stupid fuckers who love the shit they hear on the radio.

[bambiii12]

FooFighters suck so hard that they aren't even comparable to Incubus.

[msnichole91]

INCUBUS (ĭng'kyʊbəs)- lascivious male demon said 2 possess mortal women as they sleep & to be responsible 4 the birth of demons, witches, & deformed children. According 2 one legend the incubus & his female counterpart, the succubus, were fallen angels. The belief in these demons was especially prevalent in Middle Ages, & stories of assaults by incubi weren't uncommon. There r similar spirits in many cultures. In current usage, incubus means a person or thing that oppresses, like a nightmare

[JCMac777]

That sounds like my one of my uncles.

[InvaderChrissy]

Don't you find that most bands you love have a great first album before they slowly start to 'progress' onto other things? I think Incubus has changed drastically, like many bands I have loved for years. They change, but it's not always for the worse. Long live Incubus.

[necrid86]

kinda like foo fighters- almost all of their records sound different yet they all still have a hint of similarity. I get it.

[PatriotDynasty]

yeah it's weird that incubus and the foo fighters are my two favorite bands.

[necrid86]

Hahahahaha! The Foo's are my favorite band too!

[argbarb8]

i loooovee the foos :) fav band aswell :)

[argbarb8]

seen both live :)

and same here, fav bands :)

[savooli]

damn same lmao

[WantedLevel6]

I just finished a high definition music video of this track, check my account these couple of days or subscribe.

I'm currently rendering a 1080p version wich I'm gonna upload on all important file sharing pages.

Used Sony Vegas 9.0 for editing the whole project, and the 3D work is from my friend Steve Dodd (special effects supervisor of Troy).

I hope I will have the chance to upload it today on YouTube.

Incubus, Fightstar and Hawksley Workman, just a part of the artists I've worked with.

[usman231]

wait you're uploading the videos or MP3s?

[PatriotDynasty]

This song has such a good message and it rocks.

[XoxGATITOxoX]

I like incubus

[landocommando88]

Me and my band are doing this for the talent show next year! This song is just way too awesome. This BAND is just way to awesome!!

[ray2393m]

Incubus

[1000000000000000001l]

loooooooooooooooool

[fredodp]

go kill yourself and do the world a favor because you are obviously an idiot who has not heard all of their music. each and every song is euniekly (had no idea how to spell that)written and composed as a master piece.. since day 1

[fredodp]

this was written to KaKaGaNu

[XoNiCoLeY93oX]

Dude seriously?! Allll of their music is great. There is no amount of songs that are "the good ones" and "The bad ones". If you truly like a band they don't have "crappy" songs.

get a life

[justjesus123]

that's bullshit....all of my favourite bands have crap songs....not everything someone writes is a piece of genius. think about it....

[TGxDarkMaverick]

fuck you

circles?

certain shade of green?

vitamin?

pendulous threads?

every other incubus song?

i second that you kill yourself KaKaGaNu

fucking retard...

[AsianAbuser]

yeh man your'e right although i love dig and new skin and battlestar scralatchtica

[oda7200]

[fantomplanet88]
