And new incubus albums just don't quite do it for me these days. I'm kind of unamused with the world now-a-days.
Incubus band dj age how to#
I've forgotten how to make those connected feelings to the earth and the universe arise. Now I kinda feel like I'm lost in the world. I still have a soft spot for incubus, but a lot of distance was put between me and their music after age 18, just so I didn't ostracize myself from people.
They didn't appreciate how amazing existence was and how profound the world was. It wasn't always just about incubus lyrics, it was also nature, science, and cognitive awareness that I wanted to discuss.
The judgement and making fun (even though it was friendly) kinda took its toll on my self image and I started to introvert into myself a lot because I felt like my friends just really didn't think deeply about the world at all. A lot of my friends back then didn't have a boner for them either, and it became a kind of joke to them with how much I listened to them and wanted to talk about the lyrics. Feeling as though I connected with the lyrics intentions perfectly and it was a beautiful feeling, little moments where I felt that my odd view of the world could actually be interpreted. I took every word in and pondered and deciphered it's meaning. The albums Make yourself and Morning View pretty much molded me into who I am today. I love some in-depth conversation of albums, as well as opinions! I just wanna talk with people who see Incubus the way i do, most of my friends don't really have a boner for the band the way i doįrom age 15 to 18 I listened to Incubus religiously. So i'm here, procrastinating assignments and studying, and i want to talk about Incubus, and Make Yourself in particular. And then to go back and listen to this album again, I just find more and more in the music. Looking back, the ideas in Make Yourself really had an effect on me, they drove me to force myself into self-improvement.
Since that time, i have lost a lot of weight, learned to be more charming and charismatic, and i have regained my confidence. I went through some serious self hatred, but when i came out the other side, i was stronger than ever and ready to change my life. The message of forcing yourself to change, to grow, was working its way into my mind. The message of the album was coming through to me, even though at the time i didn't realize it. I didn't realize this until months later, but the lyrics of this album were affecting me, they were giving me motivation. In 1995, after seeing Incubus play at a party, hip-hop rapper DJ Lyfe (Gavin Koppel) approached the band about incorporating some of his tracks into their music.So Make Yourself is one of my favorite albums of all time, I have been a fan of Incubus for about three years now, but was really getting into Make Yourself in the spring of 2014 (when i connect with an album, i tend to listen to it incessantly for several months) I was depressed, and nothing in my life was where i wanted it to be.īut i was listening to Incubus, and Make Yourself in particular. The band played parties, all-age clubs and even the Roxy on Hollywood's Sunset Strip. Making use of their surroundings, Incubus began promoting themselves in and around L.A. However, it wasn't until the 10th grade, when the trio met their bassist, Alex Katunich, that they decided to form a band.ĭespite their age, the band wasted no time getting their music heard. In middle school, the two friends and future musicians met their guitarist Mike Einziger. Lead singer and percussionist Brandon Boyd met drummer Jose Pasillas in elementary school. Brought together as youths in Calabasas, Calif., the founding members of the newest free-form funk band began their groove in high school. The fusion-generated funk of Incubus finds its release in the combination of five young creative forces.
