Incubus is a five-man alternative rock band formed in 1991, based in Calabasas, California. Members include Brandon Boyd (vocals and percussion), Mike Einziger (guitar), Ben Kenney (bass), Jose Pasillas II (drums) and DJ Chris Kilmore (turntables). Former members of the band include Gavin Koppel (a.k.a. DJ Lyfe) (turntables) and Alex Katunich (a.k.a. Dirk Lance) (bass). The band's name may seem a peculiar choice to fans, as an incubus is a type of demon that, in mythological lore, comes in the night and has sex with women while they are sleeping; it seduces them in their dreams The story behind the name is that the band needed to think of a name hours before their first show and, after a few failed choices, Mike looked in a dictionary and chose "Incubus" almost at random. Mike says that the name was chosen because it sounded silly; Brandon holds that it was chosen because they were teenagers and the definition had the word "sex" in it. "We really didn't want to rape women in their sleep. But, we were fifteen and it seemed harmless to us then, and we never changed it," says the band.
Incubus has received both critical acclaim and commercial success, reaching multi-platinum sales, as well as releasing several successful singles. The band earned mainstream recognition with the release of their 1999 album Make Yourself. In 2001, Incubus became even more successful with the single "Drive" and their follow-up album Morning View. Their sixth studio album, Light Grenades, debuted at No. 1 in 2006 and has received Gold certification in the U.S. Incubus released their first greatest hits album Monuments and Melodies in June 2009, accompanied by a tour of the United States, Japan and Canada. The band's most recent album, 8, was released on April 21st, 2017.
2. A death/thrash metal band from Metairie, Louisiana. The band was made up of Francis Howard (guitar/vocals), Moyses Howard (drums), Andre Luiz (bass), and Luiz Carlos (guitar).

The Warmth
Incubus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But there's a cold wind coming from
The top of the highest high-rise today
It's not a breeze 'cause it blows hard
Yes and it wants me to discard the humanity I know
Watch the warmth blow away
So don't let the world bring you down
Remember why you came and while you're alive
Experience the warmth before you grow old
So do you think I should adhere to that pressing new frontier?
And leave in my wake a trail of fear?
Or should I hold my head up high and throw a wrench in spokes by
Leaving the air behind me clear?
So don't let the world bring you down
Not everyone here is that fucked up and cold
Remember why you came and while you're alive
Experience the warmth before you grow (you grow old)
So don't let the world bring you down
Not everyone here is that fucked up and cold
Remember why you came and while you're alive
Experience the warmth before you grow old
Before you grow old
Where did it go? Where did it go?
Where did it go? Where did it go?
The Warmth by Incubus is a song about being dehumanized and affected by the coldness of society. The singer wishes to numb himself and escape from the current state of existence, however, he is met with an even colder wind blowing from the top of the highest building. This serves as a metaphor for the oppressive forces that exist within society, making it harder for one to find any warmth or compassion. The singer contemplates whether he should give in to these forces and discard his humanity, or whether he should stand up and fight against them by creating a trail of warmth and compassion.
The lyrics suggest a disconnect from society, and a sense of disillusionment with the world that surrounds him. The singer feels like he's being coerced by society to let go of his humanity and become like everyone else. He's left to question whether he should become a part of this cycle of coldness and fear or take a stand and try to make a difference. However, in the end, he rejects the idea of being dehumanized and decides to stay true to himself by experiencing the warmth and love of life.
Overall, The Warmth is a powerful song that encourages listeners to hold onto their humanity and not let societal pressures weigh them down. It is a call to experience the warmth of life, connect with people on an emotional level, and create a sense of community and compassion.

I'd like to close my eyes and go numb
I want to shut down and stop feeling.
But there's a cold wind coming from
There's something unsettling happening.
The top of the highest high rise today
It's coming from somewhere powerful.
It's not a breeze ?cause it blows hard
It's not a gentle wind, it's forceful and intense.
Yes and it wants me to discard the humanity I know
This feeling is trying to strip away my sense of compassion and kindness.
Watch the warmth blow away
See everything that's good and positive disappear.
Do you think I should adhere
Should I follow this feeling?
To that pressing new frontier
Towards the unknown and unexplored.
And leave in my wake a trail of fear?
And make others afraid because of my actions.
Or should I hold my head up high
Should I keep my dignity and self-respect?
And throw a wrench in spokes by
Should I disrupt the situation by doing something unexpected?
Leaving the air behind me clear?
Creating a better environment for those around me.
Don't let the world bring you down
Don't lose hope.
Not everyone here is that fucked up and cold
There are still good people in the world.
Remember why you came and while you're alive
Don't forget what's important in life.
Experience the warmth before you grow old
Enjoy the good things in life while you can.

I do not belive Brandon Boyd gets the recognition he deserves for his vocals at all. In my very humble opinion I belive he is one of the best male vocalists in the world with his range.
