This interview is GOLD. Brandon Boyd never ceases to awe & amaze me. I can sit & listen to him for HOURS. He's such an idyllic human that I relate to on so many levels, especially soulfully. It's one thing to have a person's talent & art move you, but it's something else entirely to have their very existence validate your life trajectory. Although I've never personally met or shared an intimate physical space with him (besides the Incubus concerts I've been to), I feel incredibly connected to his energy & presence. It's indescribable. His level of social awareness, emotional intelligence & overall approach to "being" is something that I not only actively experience myself, but continually aspire to maintain & strengthen in my own spiritual practices. It just goes to show how intricately tied together we all are & the sooner we realize this, the better off we'll be. thank you, universe, for always having my back. this video enriched my soul when I needed it the most 🖤

Incubus has been one of the most healing and inspirational forces in my life. This band, these artists....I just owe them so much gratitude.

I'm counting ufos, I signal them with my lighter and in this moment I am happy 😊

I love how long the band members have known each other, and how they're all living their shared dream of writing songs, travelling the world, and performing on stages together. That's so powerful.

She woke in the morning She knew that her life had passed her by And she called out a warning "Don't ever let life pass you by"

This just reiterates how much I am in love with Brandon Boyd, since 1995. Aged like a fine wine too

I am an R&B artist, and one of my influences is Brandon Boyd. His singing is phenomenal and very soulful for the genre. His artistry, both visual and musical, has been very inspiring to me and my own artistic journey. Blessings 🙏🏽

This guy looks so calm and peaceful.. Psychedelics completely turned my life around and my, depression and panic attack disappeared and my personality changed into a much more generous loving person

There isn't a doubt in my mind this band is a tool and guide to being a better you.

The reason ‘making it” is held in such high regard, is because it is literally the “self actualisation” part of life. Making it is not a destination, it is the path of purpose.

I'm a pretty hardcore metal/deathmetal fan, however there is something about Pardon Me that hits soooo different when you're approaching 40 than when it came out back in the day... LOVE that song 🖤

Last time I took mushies I listened to "The Warmth" for the first time in many years and it hit me HARD . THANKS INCUBUS

Brandon's lyrics have resonated with me for decades now. I remember having a roommate begging me to play something different after listening to a specific Incubus album on repeat for weeks on end. 😂 This was a nice change of pace interview that allowed me to gain a better perspective of his journey and experience.

When brandon was talking about having the drink poured into a cup and it was overflowing, it reminded me of what I read in this book the path to longevity - During the Japanese meiji era ( 1868 - 1912) there was a famous Zen master, called Nan-in. One day he received a university professor who came to inquire about Zen philosophy. Nan-in started pouring tea into the professor's cup until full, and then kept on pouring. The professor watched the tea overflowing out of the cup until full, and then kept on pouring. The professor watched the tea overflowing out of the cup for moment, until he no longer could restrain himself. It is overfill. No more will go in! He exclaimed. Gently, Nan-in replied 'Like this cup, you are full of your own opinions and speculations. How can I show you what is Zen, unless you first empty your cup?'😊

completely random, but when I was 14 or 15, I was sent to rehab by the juvenile court system and I was in there with another girl who was 20 (yes you can still be on juvenile probation and sent to juvenile facilities when you're 20) - her name was Ashley - and she was in there for attempting to order LSD on the dark web and apparently failing and getting caught by her probation officer (yes, the juvenile court just sends people to rehab for trying to buy acid lol, especially with girls because there aren't as many facilities for us to serve actual time or get "therapy"). Anyway, her favorite band in the world was Incubus, and she flipped out at this other girl and eventually started CRYING because someone said "Oh! I love Incubus" but ended up only knowing the song Drive. She went on a long, emotional rant about how their other music was so much more intriguing and psychedelic. Went home after 60 days and thought I'd try listening to Incubus's less mainstream music and I have been a huge fan of Brandon and Incubus ever since. So, silver linings, thanks Ashley lol.

Psychedelics has changed the trajectory of my family in all positive ways because Incubus spoke out. Because Incubus spoke out my family has learned there is a better way to heal and grow. Because Incubus spoke out my son has changed his major to be a psychedelic assisted therapist who will change lives. Thank you, thank you, beyond thank you for being the outspoken advocates you are! Forever fangirling, see you in Iowa next month.

My older brother and sister brought me to my first concert when I was 12, it was my birthday and it was to see you guys. Forever grateful for my musical journey that started with you ❤

This explains so much why Brandon Boyd resonated with me since their band began basically. Isn’t it funny how you feel like you grow with bands? I did not like alcohol either nor hard drugs. Always felt Brandon was different and this just confirms all of it. Fabulous interview thank you

I will never forget their concert in Israel back in 2007 if I remember correctly, I was 19 at the time and super motivated by all their albums. Still am. Thank you for all your creations. I love your music from the bottom of my heart.

Such a beautiful human who happens to be the lead singer my favorite band

Please sir, ramble on anytime! We are all here for it! This is a very wholesome interview by the way.😊 Thank you

Saw incubus in auckland concert absolutely frigging awesome!! Brandon's voice is outstanding 👌

This is so amazing, I knew there was something so much deeper with brandon boyd and his band incubus. I love his energy

this guy was with me in the most doomed times, and made everything mean nothing but experience that you interperate... guy and his music is a translator of uncertain emotions...it's something you cant define... just something life hands you when you need it without asking....

What an amazing artist and individual. When I was a kid I was way to punk to listen to lncubus in any great detail, so I’ve had the pleasure of exploring and learning how fucking brilliant Incubus and Brandon Boyd are now. ❤

First, shoutout to the crew. Audio, video, lighting and editing quality are fantastic in this interview. Big Incubus fan so it’s always great to see long format deep dives into the members. Cheers for putting this together.

I've loved Incubus since 6th grade when Make Yourself came out. Brandon is such a beautiful man and spirit

It's incredible when you have so much in common with a stranger, I hear him and it's like if it's me talking, I love him and this interview ❤

Such an amazing person so spiritual bucket list meet Brandon boyd

This man has spiritually changed me since I was 15. ❤

One of my favorite bands of all time from my generation. Nice interview. its been years since I've seen interview with Brandon.

One of the greatest bands of all time

A beautiful soul. I did a painting inspired by some of his lyrics "Nebulas in Bloom"

Im an incubus super fan since year 2002, and im 37 now, and to be honest , REALTALK, their music is my energy, i feel their connections, its like marrying a person til death, like cheating to other music but still loyal to them, its like going back and forth , i dont know but everytime i heard their music i feel alive, and realtalk even theres a lot of very popular music out there like at first its nice to hear but while it lasts it gets boring, but still going back listening to incubus, New music are just passin by when i hear many times. BUT INCUBUS music is different, even how many times I play or hear their music Im still loving it. Doesnt grow old. There is something special on the lyrics of their song its unique from the other. The lyrics of their song is not old fashioned and not common.

Awesome interview with such a wonderful human being! Much love yall, and thank you for all the years of phenomenal music Brandon.

As a friend said, "slept like a baby, woke up crying every other hour"

My first spiritual moment was when I saw incubus in concert 😊

Brandon "Fine Wine" Boyd.

I love this interview tbh-you can tell she’s very into it and the conversation flows so well… very calming

I was just blessed enough to see Incubus at Aftershock. I went mostly just to see them cause out of the tons of concerts I have been to, i had never had the absolute pleasure of seeing Incubus perform live. I had not listened to them in years but listened to them on repeat back in the early 2000s. Seeing Brandon on stage and picking up on his energy (and how damn well he has aged and performs) led me into looking up about him and to this vid. I love his energy! What a lovely human! Thank you for being, Brandon, and for what you do...and thank you for staying away from those hardcore nasty drugs! Btw, I too had an amazing psychadelic experience my first time with cannabis. I was heavy into it in my 20s...but then I went into nursing and can no longer enjoy. ETOH became my crutch and I just want to be SOBER and more healthy at this point in my life and am on that journey. I have never tried the psychadelics and can neither condone nor speak against them. Instead, I don't need drugs...I can get high off his energy and the music. I love Brandon and Incubus on a deep spiritual level. I too love all sorts of music and have listened to/been into most of the bands and artists they both mentioned. I believe that people who are open to all types of music are more open in general and are on another level. I have grown into and out of all sorts of bands and artists but Incubus and Brandon will forever be a fave i love his wisdom and his words about God ❤

Great show, thank you for putting this together!🥰🥰

Incubus was my fave band growing up. I’d run into them in calabasas all the time. But listening to the lyrics now, after being more in touch with my spiritual side and drinking aya, the lyrics also resonate with me on a much deeper level, and introduced more meaning. Great convo, B Boyd is such a beautiful human. ❤

Since 2005 til now incubus music in my Playlist, Brandon a musician, poet and artist ❣️

I was here for the Shroom talk at a curiosity I looked up incubus I never realized how many of your songs I love and if you haven’t heard yet I’m a big fan I never knew it your drummer is amazing the vocals the writing the group is perfect for lack of a better word look forward to immersing myself and all of your work God bless

Bra don in his lyrics and whole Incubus as a band are always being a point in my life that guides me in a better horizon, even after incredible experiences in my life

Brandon Boyd shaped my perspective since I was 12 literally, my first famous role model and what a good gamble that was. I can tell this was a wise decision and my mind knew what it was looking for even if I didn’t. At 33 now it’s clear it was a good choice and I’ll always be grateful.

The most beautiful of humans. Those wishing to hear one of the songs he is likely referencing that calls upon the psychedelic experience should listen to Absolution Calling. Fantastic song - as are they all - from this, my favorite band. ❤️

Brandon is a light to this world, and I'm so glad he inspired me when I was younger.

Amazing interview, Brandon and the boys have been a huge part of my life! Thanks for sharing.

This was such an enlightening interview with my favorite musician! ❤✝️🙏

OK...thinking back 11 years ago, 'If Not Now, When'...it all makes sense. Brandon is the kindest human being. I could listen to him talk and sing forever. Poetry & painting....❤

Long time Incubus fan and soon to begin my healing journey with psilocybin. Thanks for an excellent interview and boost in hope.

First time I heard the song 'Trust Fall' was right around my first encounters with Grandmother Aya. Like a few other artists I love, it was blowing me away that they seemed to be having similar experiences and philosophical evolutions, or just in the same spaces as I. I've loved Incubus since seeing them for the Morning View Tour when I was in Grade 10, they've been one of the biggest influences on my music tastes, musical expressions and outlooks in life. So much gratitude and love for the band! :)

beautifully spoken perspective from Mr. Boyd here. Really appreciated and shared from my own experiences.

I didnt think a Brandon interview would answer a sinus/breathing question i only knew i had by watching this interview. ❤

I'm watching this after having just taken 1.88 grams of golden teachers. Beautiful ❤🍄

What an awesome interview ❤ wow is he beautiful inside and out ❤

Amazing. Somehow love the band more. Fantastic perspectives all around.

Incubus is one of my favorite bands to listen to, yet I’ve never known what this man looked liked.

As a kid my friends and I loved incubus but man I really understand their music alot more. Alot of us had experience with media brainwashing leading to war which led to coming home kinda broken. Then through the magic of the universe psychedelics came our way and a healing journey of mind, soul and body has ensued for many years. Now I understand their songs SO much better and they are so complex, healing and poignant.

The level of consciousness when experiencing the effects of shrooms, weed and music, combined with visual hallucinations is quite an amazing four or five hour event that everyone should witness. Pink Floyd dark side of the moon and the Mandelbrot set. Unreal.

Mr Boyd is the man. Amazing experiences shared.

I will be forever grateful for San Pedro cactus helping me kick a drinking habit in my late 20s that i picked up in college. There is immense healing capacity to be found here!

Thank you for Dig - presently my mental focus and healing.

didn't know the guy, his peaceful aura seems very real, interesting man

good stuff, thanks again Double Blind

He’s “further along the path” than she is, as it were

I love this man so much frfr Brandon is one amazing person if there is anyone in this world I wish to meet its Brandon Boyd I would love to sit down and talk to him about everything and anything love his mind set and way he sees life its self thank you universe for giving us Brandon Boyd

He has a such a relaxing voice. Asmr.

Brandon Boyd - you rock! Forever!

Amazing. Thanks man.

Such a great Convo 🙏💓

The warmth is a song about this

This interview ended perfectly 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I love Incubus since SCIENCE, my favorite record of them is Morning View, since i was in high school, they are a big reason why i'm a musician. I have never been in Malibu, but that record always transport me to a beach, and relax me, is a masterpiece.

The Make Yourself album was at a very transformational time in my life. Saw them at the Warfield two nights in a row at that time. It was memorable to say the least. Was less than ten feet from Mr. Floating Torso. It was effing epic!

Bravo! 👏 I would have Loved to hear about his experience on Reservation Dogs. He played his part perfectly. 👏 So glad to see his return in season 3.. ❤

this interview was awesome!! when new album????

EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love his mind.

Baby, trust me, you made it, you are it. I do think childhood was a trippy time, we are closer to “source” at that point in our life journey. Hard drugs do have an icky vibe, I always noticed that too.

Oooo remember back n day when use to play on MTV pads he had episode wild don't need to say how appreciated but now understand the phrase he worded in about those little crawl spaces he had throughout pad real wild. He was always different and I think that was the change of style he brought with his band how they were not drinkers or other whatever but he used word to paint the image he appreciates in his wholeness nature

Great stuff

Just saw incubus last night amazing 👏 😍

"The whole thing is a spiritual practice " -- love

Legendary

Awesome listening to both of them

there will be a major reason to journey towards the 'Hollywood bowl' tonight 🌠🌌🔥... beautiful space and time for positive energy & fulfillment!!! Incubus is taking the stage 🎶🎙🎛🎸🪇🥁🪘🎼🕯🎶

He's speaking of the witness -popular in native archetypes. There's that popular saying of humans being the universe experiencing itself. Perhaps, in certain mental states (not necessarily facilitated by substance use, btw) we can tap into that which is everything and nothing. It's just a level of awareness of the oneness or the singularity or the lack of separation - whatever you want to call it. But it's probably one of the fundamental truths (in my humble opinion) that every religion teaches but often goes unacknowledged. I suspect our existence is super intended in the fabric of the universe and the macro and the micro are two sides of one coin. I've loved the band since I was a young girl and I genuinely think it's that sort of esoteric understanding projected into the music that makes it resonate with those of us who are .. a little more sensitive to the energy of the universe.. whatever that means. It's so fun to go back and listen to those songs I used to listen to constantly because I loved them in youth and didn't understand why but now, it actually makes sense.

Brandon Boyd ❤❤❤❤❤

On my first acid trip Incubus were playing all the time...in my head. Especially the "Nowhere Fast" guitar sounds at the beginning of the verse. They bring me back to that night easily 😂 But all the lyrics and positivity were floating around in my head when I hung out at the sea that night. It's pretty cool that the following album Morning View described some views that I really experienced. Though I was a bit disappointed musically.

Okay but if he sold his line of tea I’d buy it hahaha

Buena entrevista en realidad buena y aunque ella quería algo mucho más profundo de él, Brandon supo surfear muy bien las preguntas y las estructuró me gusto mucho esta parte íntima de él en lo espiritual. Tal vez pienso que ella buscaba más misterio en él y el solo se mostró sencillo y fue muy honesto con sus respuestas a través de su experiencia con los psicodélicos 🕉️

I took a lot of psychedelics and went to school. It was fun. Going to work on them was a different story.

New Word. I learn today UNFUCKING . thank you BRANDON

Music is the language of the soul.

Little story: (for background my mom’s favorite band was, and probably still is, incubus so I was exposed to them since I was a baby) one day we were listening to S.C.I.E.N.C.E. And “A Certain Shade of Green” came on. After the song finished she paused the album and asked me what I thought the song meant. I was probably 7/8 years old, so I had no clue😂 she explained that the metaphor “certain shade of green” is referring to people not taking action when opportunities present themselves. The green light is there yet so many people won’t go for it, as if it wasn’t the correct shade of green. She also did this after we listening to “The Cave” by Mumphord and Sons. It was times like these where she would urge me to look for the deeper meaning of things that shaped how my brain operates today. Not only do I look for the deeper metaphors and themes in songs because of her, but also with everything in life. Something as simple as rain has given me deep insights that, without her guidance, I probably never would’ve thought of. I have my mother and Incubus to thank for my deep longing to dive into the spiritual/metaphorical nature of everyday life and I’m eternally grateful for it. I still listen to incubus to this day and they were even my Spotify #1 artist in my most recent wrapped😂 I’ve gone on a huge tangent but reading this comment section feels like home. Such beautiful stories and words are being shared here and it’s not something I see on the internet much. From the deepest part of my heart, I’m sending love to everyone here🙏❤ thank you

This dude is cool as fuck.

I love how he is so wise and vibrates very high!!!! He needs to be more devilish 😎🤩 I love you Brandon!!
