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".

Never Look Back
Incognito Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The opening verse of Incognito's song "Never Look Back" describes an old and aging man who has lost a friend. Instead of dwelling on his troubles, he carries only his cherished possessions with him and abandons everything else. He used to be consumed by the need for attention and struggled with the meaning of life. However, he has come to learn that it's better to let go of the past and never look back, regardless of what others may say or do. Over time, this wise man has grown to understand that the ones who ask for more are not worth his efforts, and he has gained respect for the life he has led.
The singer seems to suggest that it is healthier and more fulfilling to live a simple life free from worry and concern. Rather than seeking attention and validation from others, it is preferable to rely on oneself and let go of negative emotions. The song encourages listeners to focus on what is truly important in life and to ignore those who may crave more than they are willing to give.
Overall, "Never Look Back" presents a message of acceptance and contentment. By letting go of past troubles and focusing on the present, the singer suggests that one can find peace and happiness in life.

long long time ago before the wind before the snow
There was a time before external influences when this story takes place

The singer is an elderly man who is grieving the loss of his friend
he carried by his side all the things he had in life
He keeps his material possessions close to him
left all the things that troubled him behind
He has moved on from his past troubles and left them behind him
he was once in a desperate need for attention and so much more
He used to crave attention and validation from others
living his life with the question of conception
He pondered the meaning and purpose of his existence
there is no more no more feeling sorry and no more getting mad
He has moved past feelings of regret and anger
yeah right! you got the answer
He has found the answer to his existential questions
through the years he came to know sometimes its better to let it go
He has learned that it is better to let go of the past
and never look back no matter what they said

and then the ones he learned to ignore

Listening in 2019!! Saw them live in ATL last night now I am searching for anything I might have missed over the years. They are timeless a band throughout their existence. Unequaled with few exceptions. EW&F influenced Bluey!

Just a brilliant arrangement of every sound happening at the same time. Take your pic of what to listen to. Then play it again and enjoy another facet of the song.
