  • what an awesome song....so many truths in it.

  • I think this song is about someone who has a negative outlook on life, maybe because of society. And she copes with it by being pessimistic and depressed, hence the line "mascara running down your face". Brandon is asking her to smile and that every day is a new day ("the camera lens is opening"). He wants to capture her smiling, to possibly give him hope and strength for the future, "Give me sustenance...love not suicide and the wiser and wider part of me will show. Just my two cents.

  • the dislike bar is like lady gagas penis short a shouldnt be there

  • they need to do more songs in half step Standard tuning

  • @Mariooo57 Why?

  • @a1punks basically to add more variety

  • Genius

  • Dont worry haters, if you dont like incubus they dont like you as well...

    more power incubus!!!

  • EVERYTHING Incubus does is awsome!! so if you don't like them ,then don't listen!! Nobody wants to hear it!

  • Who can click the dislike botton this ,,you disliker should kick yourself in the face!!

  • 9 dislikes are dumb

  • this is my favorite song of all time, it gives suspense and makes my heart race like mad!! i get chills listening to it! Kudos to Incubus for making such a great piece of music!!

  • @marcellrips YES, i know exactly what you mean. especially at 3:54, it just ties together so perfectly!

  • i hate japanesse versions of albums, they got awesome songs ¬_ ¬ and these versions are harder to buy

  • The chorus of this is so catchy. I agree with some of the comments about the verses not being my favorite part either. So many songs on this album seriously make my heart race. lol

  • its absolutely ridiculous that this wasn't on the album. same thing w/ pantomime on crow. they'd better knock that off with this next record...

  • best song on this album, one of their greatest hits

  • this song just pounds so hard

  • Shame they are so underrated

  • Incubus has got to be one of the best bands of its time. They've got great music and it's amazing that with time they only get better.

  • i luv incubus i amazed i never heardc this song its reallly good like everythin g they do:)

  • Why wasn't this on the US release album? It would of been the biggest single besides Anna Molly and Dig.

  • @Venomp2 the verses don't do that much for me but the chorus is so catchy! You're probably right on what you said though, I think I like this song more than Anna Molly tbqh

  • Incubus is among the best bands I've ever had the pleasure to hear.

    And this song, it's one of the best songs I've ever heard.

    Smile and Look Alive!

  • The Hardest Thing Is Rendering!

  • This is, in my opinion, THE best song on the Melodies disc. Definately better than some of the monuments too

  • Light Grenades could have used this to make up for dig ( thats right i said it) Though I will say dig live summer of 09 might have been my favorite song of the show

  • i thinkthis band might seem underrated to ppl who cant truly understand what their lyrics is about.However i love their lyrics and think incubus are as much as poets as they are a band

  • Why is this band so underrated :|

  • I love the pic at: 2:23

    Where did u get it?

  • the lotus! dude that's the most tight artwork

  • Look alive, nice title song

  • of the dvd lol...

  • video was made on that guys birthday

  • Hahahahaha @ supergrantbros!

  • @supergrantbros which guy? and dam i love this song

  • video was made on my birthday

  • I got a vid when they performed Look Alive at Merriweather!!! It was so awesome :D I actually have a lot of vids from that night. I was so close!!!

  • I was in chicago as well....20 ft away dead center in front of brandon....ive seen some good ass bands in my day and nothin yet can compare to seeing incubus.....they are just flat out amazing performers...alot of people give them shit for not creating albums like science,make yourself, and morning view.....well they proved to those jack-offs wrong at Northerly island! I shit myself when they played Redifine....I love all incubus!!!!!

  • Yeah... just gonna say they were awesome in Chicago on july 22nd... amazing greatest concert ever... i would never miss something like that

  • i was there too! great show! i sat in section 301

  • haha we waited for the gates to open, i was right in front it was amazing what you think of their opening band Duke or what ever?

  • @ramenman26 DUke was ok it wasn't like oh my god wow though. INCUBUS rocked it that night

  • Comment removed

  • can't get enough of this song, or this band for that matter :)

  • light granades is my favourite album

  • i cant wait for monuments & melodies

  • already out... even when you posted this comment it was out. been out since june 16

  • the song rocks alot!

  • Disc 2 of Monuments and Melodies is an excellent compilation of B-Sides. I'm glad I bought it. I can't stop listening to the first four tracks.

  • i had never heard this song before until i bought monuments and melodies. really love it. wasnt a big fan of the new album but after a while i ended up loving. Pantomime IS awesome.

  • for (in ur opinion) it being the worst album they made it DEBUTED at #1 ... hmmm ... and i totally disagree ... i love how they've evolved ... nothing stays the same ... if it did they'd be just like everybody else ... which they totally aren't ... each song has its own personality as with each member of this band ... just watch them on stage theyre all in their own world LOVING their music

  • i think light grenades was awesome

  • dang, i cant believe i didnt know this song... it's pretty ownage. debating on buying their new cd........................ i hate buying cds!!!!

  • Im very glad they are releasing this on their greatest hits but the other song choices are pretty poor in my opinion, nothing pre morning view. A shame but a nice b-sides collection though.

  • you're totally right. they left out such iconic songs like summer romance, vitamin, sick sad little world...it's insulting.

    However they really put a great compilation on Disc B, especially the new Pantomime...sick.

  • Except of course Drive, Stellar, and Pardon Me. All three of those songs are off of Make Yourself, which of course was the album before Morning View. I personally love the new album. It is a greatest hits album, so you have to think about that when you think about track selection. Those songs were chosen on how they did on the charts, thats it. I have favorites sure, but I'm not going to expect those songs to be liked by the charts. How often does that really happen?

  • i had this idea. i dont want brandon to sell himself out but he should totally do some acting it would be sweet to him in a movie

  • just a cameo, that would be hilarious

  • maybe the whole band could write their own comedy of something cos their funny as hell anyway

  • omg incubus is so incredible.

  • This song is better than many songs from Light Grenades album...so I am according with PatriotDynasty...how could it be just a single!!!!????? hahahahaha this song rocks!!!!

  • awesome song, great lyrics.

  • It is a perfect song !

  • i love this song so much !

  • holy shit is your name logan george

  • Comment removed

  • absolutely love it!!

  • how could this song not be on the main CD and be a single this song is amazing.

  • i always thought the same thing. some of their unreleased songs are their best (IE: familiar, follow, crowded elevator, etc)

  • @PatriotDynasty My friend and i were just talking about how it's not on the CD and it's an AMAZING so but we both came to the conclusion that it's BECAUSE it's such a great song that they wanted to keep it on the DL. That way, they're not pressured to overplay it both on radio and live. It's kind of a personal song that's intended for the true fans that dubb deeper into incubus' gem tracks.

  • Sick

  • I think that most of the stuff they left off Light Grenades was five times better than what they put on it. I would've felt less like I've been betrayed if they put these types of songs on there.... As personally, I feel their old stuff was ten times better.

  • this song > love hurts

  • i always thought he said, but yours has bled and is running south like "jealous Dior Mascara down your face.

    UNTIL yesterday when i heard him say Like Dollar store mascara down your face. on a live version.

    anyway, i stick with Jealous Dior Mascara, i think it sounds way more poetic / cooler =]

  • LOVE IT!!!!^^

  • They should have put this song on Light Grenades!

  • KICK ASS!!!

  • bass is so sick in this song....

  • Dude, this song freaking rocks!

  • this is probably one of my fave incubus songs. its just amazing.

  • its good but it didnt give me that satisfied feeling i used 2 get from incubus. i still love them @;)

  • hey, n e chance you could email me the mp3 of this song please? thanks.

  • please someone tell me where i can download this version of the song, not the live one?

  • haha ( 3:35 to like close to the end) Michael Eiznger, looks so wierd. :) he's pretty much the man though :P

  • Please Tell me the name of this song yes? (A)

  • Look Alive (hence the title of clip).

    I recommend people who listen Incubus get the Look Alive DVD (if not already) it's Awesome, so inspiring and genuine. A true, amazing band

  • How can you guys mark someone's comment as spam just because they're stating their opinion about the song? How can it be spam to state a preference? Just curious..

  • if this song was included on 'Light Grenades', it would have boosted the album so much, it should have replaced 'Diamonds & Coal' I think........amazing song, with equally amazing lyrics.

  • muy bueno este tema!.. execelente!

  • Anybody who has ANY doubts of what this band has become... buy and watch LOOK ALIVE DVD, it makes Alive at Red Rocks look weak, which says alot, because that DVD is phenomenal as well!

  • its new its fresh and it rocks out loud!

    love incubus love for ever!!

  • Can someone get me an mp3 of this version. I can't find it for the life of me.

  • MP3 of this is on lime wire I know for sure, um...it is some other places also I've got it on my computer and I got it from lime wire....

  • I love this song so much, i love all the song ive heard by em ive got 7 of there albums and out of all the songs on there i cant say there is a worst 1 there all amazing, incubus foreva!!!!!!!!

  • Amen! INCUBUS ROCKS!!!

  • thank you for playing this, one of my favs.

  • it'll grow onto you, trust me, i didnt really like it that much also until it played randomly on my mp3

  • they have been a different band since dirk left. shame.

  • I really love the singles they've released, and I think their best song has been Sick Sad Little World, I wish they played more songs with the same feel, I mean I still love their music, but their music with Dirk was better, I think

  • Well still ben makes a fine addition it could have been worse

  • dude sick sad little world is clearly theyre best tune, but dirk werent there to compose that with them, it was ben kenney all the way, im sorry but everyone gives kenney a hard time, he's still fucking mint on the bass, n its still incubus, not the same as what they were, but they've evolved. if people don't love them for what they are now, don't listen to the newer tracks n stop bitching.

  • amen.

  • @mlak20000 i agree, sick sad little world is awesome. i love ben kenney's solo work

  • @mlak20000 CLEARLY? Well get off your high horse mister, thats just your opinion, we all have one not just you.

  • you know whats funny bout your comment... the song sick sad little world is acutally bout dirk

  • @mlak20000 ...Oh, I've certainly stopped listening but I reserve my right to bitch.

  • impecable

  • the look alive dvd is f'in sweet i watch it every morning this song and punch drunk are unbelievable

  • amazing music!!

  • de que carajos hablas.... suena identico....

  • Fucking unbelievable. So incredibly tallented.

    I saw them on 8/2/07 in Toronto, one of the most memorable shows ive ever been too

  • I've only had the pleasure of seein them once, like 4 years ago.. and I still get goosebumps when i think about it... Incredible

  • This is like one of the greates song ever! :]

  • Definitely one of the greatest songs they ever produced!! INCUBUS ROCKS!

  • iv seen them in concert 5 times once in there sicence days once in during the morning view sessions crow, and light grenades and acustic. so i say they are the greatest band becus there always new always fresh and although you might argue ur wrong im right shut up you douche. they are godly dumbass if you cant see that

  • the movie is great

    i just got it today andi watched right away

    if u havent seen it u hav to

  • best ever!!!!

  • i just bought the movie last night n i cant wait 4 it to come

  • I love this song xD

    Incubus is the best band in the world!

    Kisses!

  • this should have been in the album Oo

  • whats the name of this song..? is it in the light grenades..?

    I have every single cd of them but the last one..

    They are comming to Costa Rica, I can not belive it!!!!! They will be playing with the smashing pumpkins, duran duran and seal..

  • that's crazy! i wish i was in costa rica.

  • this song is a second b-side!!!!! it sux it wasn't on the album

  • Duran Duran still tours!?

  • this is incubus and yes i think they do

  • oops I accidently posted this in the wrong video. There is another video of Incubus doing "Hungry like a wolf" and I meant to post that on there. Should go check it out, great cover.

  • dirk/alex made the band to funky which was alright when they were 17/18 but they moved on and so did there sound. when they brought in Ben kenney the sound evolved and if you listen to the lyrics they became more meaningful and so did the music. I appreciate all there music and i dont prefer either the funky stuff or their new experimental stuff its ll good!!

  • I think they sound more funky than before?

  • They only sounded funky in 1 album...their first one. They were trying to sound like Pink Floyd and Primus at the same time. Ever since then, they haven't really gone back to that particular sound. Their lyrics have always been evolving. None of your comments have anything to do with Kenney joining the band but more of just the expected growth of the band.

  • anyone who says "INCUBUS aren't what they 'used to be' anymore" it's a complete narrow-minded ASS. The sound EVOLVES as the years and the experiences come. SO DID THEY.

    If u don't understand this, U NEVER BEEN A REAL FAN. Go listen to FAITH NO MORE recs. and stop whining your sorry ass off.

  • well the main thing thats the problem is that incubus is now trying to fit in the scene

    most ppl think thats not cool beacuse there tradeing there unique originality

    i kinda agree with these kinda ppl

    cuz now that i listen to them they dont sound very unique

    dirk/alex made the band unique

  • trying to fit the scene? Every single one of the albums have been different. They're one of the last "artists" out there. Unfortunately they have annoying "SCIENCE OR BUST" fans.

    They were 20 and younger when they made Science... they seemed to have grown up and realized they would look totally f**king ridiculous releasing another rap/funk album. Besides, the whole part of SCIENCE was to experiment with sound.. something they CONTINUE to do today.

  • A fuckin Men !!!! ppl suck and dont realize how talented and grown up theses guys become!

  • Incubus was never metal, just because they toured Ozzfest doesn't mean they were metal......Crazy Train toured Ozzfest too dude. Remember them?

  • have u heard Science?

  • yes that shits amazing

    funk metal

  • yes i have heard science, but i would have to agree with you SCIENCE or BUST fans out there

    although light gernades wasn't their best album, saying they sold out is retarded.

  • their newer stuff is their best, crow and light grenades.. their older stuff is their sell out stuff if anything.. their old stuff is rip off mr bungle/faith no more nu metal crap

  • all of there music is the best

  • ur completly wrong! S.C.I.E.N.C.E ditto emugrint

  • Awesome song. Awesome band.

  • I agree
