"We've been lying to eachother. Hey, let's just call this what it is: oil and water..."

Good God I love Brandon Boyd.

One specific reason why is that I quite enjoy is his penchant for songwriting a little left of center. He's not the greatest lyricist ever (Example: Love Hurts - "love hurts, but sometimes it's a good hurt.") But instead of saying, "there is no umbrella that would shelter this weather, " he uses the word "parasol." Just little things like that.

That and you know, Morning View is one of the most perfect albums ever.






Incubus - Oil and Water from Light Grenades












Incubus - Wish You Were Here


I guess I've only ever seen the unreleased version. How odd.

You forgot to mention that the boy can just plain belt one out. He's an incredible singer and this song is a great example! Thanks!
