Wish You Were Here by Incubus

I was the biggest Incubus fan at the time when Morning View came out. Everytime i'll get online, I'll visit the official Incubus webpage and the fansites as well. I downloaded pictures, wall papers and bootleg copies of the song.

The first time I heard this single... my mind was blown. It was just a mind-fuck. I can't forget listening to the guitars and drums thinking... "Oh shit.... this is fucking it". Hearing Brandon's voice being sampled by DJ Kilmore... that was awesome as well.

This might sound funny, but I see Incubus's music as one of my inspirations for getting good grades back in the day.

I dig my toes into the sand
The ocean looks like a thousand diamonds
Strewn across a blue blanket
I lean against the wind
Pretend that I am weightless
And in this moment I am happy...happy

I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here

I lay my head onto the sand
The sky resembles a back lit canopy
With holes punched in it
I'm counting UFOs
I signal them with my lighter
And in this moment I am happy...happy

I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
Wish you were here

The world's a roller coaster
And I am not strapped in
Maybe I should hold with care
But my hands are busy in the air saying:

I wish you were here
I wish you were

I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
Wish you were here
