2. Not only this Smooth Jazz band shares same band name, they have a song called "Millenium"(2006) that is exactly same title (intentionally misspelled) as the other Incognito's (Jazz Funk) song on their album "100° and Rising"(1995), plus the logo resembles in font. The title "Every Day"(2006) on the album Street Smarts exactly alike in titles (when read) with the other Incognito's famous tune "Everyday"(1995). They are often tagged totec radio. Also mis-tagged by fans as bluey where there's no link to Jean-Paul "Bluey" Maunick himself. r00ts & t4lk1n l0ud tags also used, that could mislead fans to the Bluey's famous tunes like "Roots" & "Talkin' Loud".

Incognito Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is not a fool`s dream
We really feel the need
We`ve come to ground
Like prisoners on the run
Just minutes away from freedom
Ain`t no use in fooling ourselves
We really feel the need
Nothing will be too much
We both long for better days
Baby, we`re different as the seasons
Never ever giving reasons
Left with the tears
And the paralysing fear
That brings us to our knees
[Chorus:]
Change
Bring on the changes
Change
Bring on the changes
It`s no pretending, no denying
When you really feel the need
Going to hang on and be strong
Turn the tables, make the change
The two of us, different as the seasons
Never ever giving reasons
Left with the tears
And the paralyzing fear
That brings us to our knees
[Chorus:] x 2
There`s gotta be some give and take
If we ever gonna make a change
[Chorus:] x 2
The song "Change" by Incognito speaks about two people who are in a difficult place in their relationship. They are both feeling stuck and are yearning for something better. Though they have been through a lot of pain and fear, they both believe that they need to put in the effort to make a change. They have come to a point where they cannot afford to fool themselves and they are ready to do whatever it takes to make things better between them. They both acknowledge that they are different from each other but they are equally invested in stepping out of their comfort zones and taking the necessary steps towards change.
The lyrics assert that change is never easy, but it is necessary for growth and progress. The chorus "Bring on the changes" is a call to action for the couple to face the fear of the unknown and embrace the changes they need to make. The song encourages them to keep going, to be strong, and to take control of their own destinies. The repeated phrase "There's gotta be some give and take" highlights the idea that it takes a willingness to compromise and work together to make any relationship work.
Line by Line Meaning
What we got here
The situation we have now
Is not a fool's dream
It's not just a fantasy
We really feel the need
We truly have a strong desire
We've come to ground
We've reached a low point
Like prisoners on the run
We feel trapped and on the move
Just minutes away from freedom
We're close to being liberated
Ain't no use in fooling ourselves
It's pointless to deceive ourselves
Whatever it takes
No matter what's required
Nothing will be too much
No effort will be too great
We both long for better days
We both crave for improved times
Baby, we're different as the seasons
My dear, we're contrasting like the seasons
Never ever giving reasons
Without explaining why
Left with the tears
We're crying
And the paralysing fear
And the immobilising dread
That brings us to our knees
That makes us feel insecure
Chorus: Change, Bring on the changes
We need change, let's make it happen
It's no pretending, no denying
There's no need to act or pretend that it's not true
When you really feel the need
When the desire is truly strong
Going to hang on and be strong
We'll persevere and not give up
Turn the tables, make the change
Reverse the situation and initiate change
There's gotta be some give and take
There needs to be compromise
If we ever gonna make a change
If we're going to create transformation
