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 ↴

Maybe, maybe
There's no denyin' I feel the same way too
Baby, I would die for you (Yeah)
I would (Die for you)
With you I know I'm in a place
That darkness can not touch

Givin' it up
Givin' it up
Givin' it all up to the feelin'
Givin' it up
Givin' it up
Baby, I know you've got that somethin'
(Givin it up)

Learning the truth, that exposed me to my blindness
Has opened up my world
Gone are the barriers that kept me out in darkness
Living in a twilight world
You guided me, where others feared to tread
And through it all no grudging words were said

I never heard you say through all of this madness
Maybe, maybe
There's no denial I feel the same way too
Honey, I would die for you
I would (Die for you)
With you I know I'm in a place
That darkness can not touch

Givin' it up
Givin' it up
Givin' it all up to the feelin'
Givin' it up
Givin' it up
Babe, I know you've got that somethin'
Babe, I know you've got that somethin'
Give it up!
I want to give it up!

There's no denial I feel the same way too
Baby, I would die for you (Yes)
I would (Die for you)
With you I know I'm in a place
That darkness can not touch

Givin' it up
Givin' it up
Givin' it all up to the feelin'
Givin' it up

Babe, I know you've got that somethin'

Babe, I know you've got that somethin'
That's why, I'm givin' it all up to you, Baby!

Line by Line Meaning

I've taken time to say goodbye to my sadness
I have spent some time to overcome my sadness

But now I know I'm free
I have come out of sadness and I feel free

You took my hand and led me out of the darkness
You helped me come out of the darkness of my sadness

To help me find a brand new me (Baby)
You guided me to discover the new me

Though all the world around me criticized
Even though everyone around me disapproved

The love you gave was never compromised
Your love for me was never weakened

I never heard you say through all of the madness
You never said during those tough times

Maybe, maybe
That there's a chance

There's no denyin' I feel the same way too
I cannot deny that I feel the same for you

Baby, I would die for you (Yeah)
I love you so much that I am ready to die for you

With you I know I'm in a place
I feel that I'm in a secure place

That darkness can not touch
Where sadness cannot penetrate

Learning the truth, that exposed me to my blindness
Discovering the truth, that made me realize my ignorance

Has opened up my world
Has broadened my horizons

Gone are the barriers that kept me out in darkness
The obstacles that kept me away from light are now gone

Living in a twilight world
Existing in a state of confusion

You guided me, where others feared to tread
You provided guidance where others hesitated

And through it all no grudging words were said
Despite everything, you remained supportive without complaints

Babe, I know you've got that somethin'
I know that you have that special quality

Give it up!
Surrender to it!

I want to give it up!
I am eager to give in to it

That's why, I'm givin' it all up to you, Baby!
That's why I am giving everything to you, my dear

This album is one of the most important albums of my life, it opened my feelings to Acid Jazz, Soul, R&B, Jazz and Soulful vibes. Perfection! The amount of talent in this band back then was just incredible!

The incomparable Maysa! I've had the good fortune of seeing this sublime pipestress live three times over the past 10 years: Twice with Incognito and once by herself!
