These guys really understand the essence of living. Brandon's words should be heard by all living beings. And thats the truth!! with some cheese on it!
I've been listening to this song for 5 straight years now, It's just so fucking perfect. Its your favorite drug, sex, love and icecream all put together. Yummy.
"Someone bending light comes along and flowers lean toward the sun"... oh! Some of the most beautifully poetic lyrics ever. And possibly one of the greatest songs ever in the history of music! (Exaggeration? Maybe to some but hey, I'm allowed to have my own opinion!)
Met them several years ago, they are some genuinely nice, gracious lads... in fact I have Brandon's autograph tattooed on my arm :)
its sounds like radiohead cause mike is playing a fender rhodes piano much like thom yorke plays in a variety of songs, most notably on "everything in its right place"
for me, it's one of those songs you won't pay much attention at the start, but after listening to the whole album a couple of times, you'll realize it grew overtime within and it already has its grip on you. enthralls me every time I listen to it...
first time i watched the DVD i thought, well, nice dokumentation, u can watching Brandon surfing,Ben skateing, playing and drive around the world ^^ nice songs...nice interviews...but the intro and outro...and this song....that touches me REALLY after a while..really. :) an the best is....i know some of my friends do THAT kind of music with much effects etc...i already found out yesterday ;)
@andyowens01 not crazy at all its artsy its like when an a musician grasps the fact music is an art they produce stuff like this which very deep and sincere and everytime offers a beauty about it
@FezzickO I think of it more as a musical poem than a song, or maybe just a piece of art, I'm glad they picked it as track 1 for both the tour and the album though, really sets the scene for what's ahead. Fucking, love, this, band.
Def, I wish they could expand the song. Its got such a dreamy psychadellic feel, but then the song is so short. It seems like the wonderful dream just ends too abruptly. just awsomeness
i, like everyone seems to agree, would looove a longer version of this song. however, the brevity of it adds so much ...depth, character, mood -- whatever you want to call it. a brief moment of brilliant expression
i adore radiohead as well as incubus- they're two of my all time favourite bands, but they do not compare at all.
i get this song is an intro- but i really really wish this song was like 8 minutes long- like aqeuous transmission, its soo unbelievably great, but terribly short
Thanks Benjani7 .. I Love Incubus, and I love this song too, just I think it sounds like radiohead, or maybe, radiohead sounds like this song. I don't know. And I think is an honor say "sound like radiohead" they are amazing ! and Incubus too. :D
Oh Gawd you are so right on the money!! This is such a GREAT erotic sensual fu*k song and should be AT LEAST 21 minutes loong!!! ; ))) I LOVE STEFFANIE and now I'm really happy I found this awesome song and band through her video! Incubus & Steffanie ROCK and have such fu*kable erotic sensual music! Gotta check out more! Can't get enuf!
i 110% agree...i just saw them in Santa Barbara...omfg this song is so gooooood it was their best one they did. the visuals of a large fish and person waddling around, and then the fish eats the woman when brandon screams "some people fall in love and find, quicksand"!! with psychedelic background and . oh boy, i was GROOVING to this one, hehe. much love.
and flowers lean towards the sun-

This is such a beautiful melody, probably one of the best that Incubus have - it is a shame it is only some intro.
Just as I get in the song's mood it ends.. could've been longer.

Some people fall in love & touch the sky
Some people fall in love & find quicksand.
I hover somewhere in between... I swear...
I can't make up my mind.
