Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture dav Average	#1 by dav id at Jan 25, 1971 at 9:52 PM EST
	I love singing this song when im really pissed off, anyways yeah i think its just about how your attitude affects how you take things, int eh beginning he had a really crappy day but he explains it again and he figured out that what really made the day crappy was his pessimistic attitude

No Picture Nate Lead Player	#2 by Nate Thompson at Aug 16, 1973 at 9:10 PM EST
	it spells "calogne" with the 'g' and the 'o' switched, but that only proves how dumb i am for noticing something like that.

No Picture Chris Badass	#3 by Chris Phillips at Feb 19, 1975 at 1:18 PM EST
	This song is great. It makes you wonder what you would do if all this really happened to you. Everytime I hear this song, it makes me think of only the bad things that have happened to me in the past year or so. I believe this song is talking about controlling the situation. If you control what's going on around you, you shouldn't have any trouble.

No Picture billy Wanna Be	#4 by billy tams at Nov 26, 1976 at 4:37 AM EST
	I love this song. I found the hidden track because I fell asleep with the CD playing and woke up to the most bizarre assortment of music and sounds...tada! What I want to know is what is up with the autopsy report. You know, after the reaming out Gavin bit, at the beginning of the actual hidden track, there's a guy reading off the details of a car crash victim...it sounds like it was pretty damn gnarly, too.

No Picture Vezy Professional	#5 by Vezy at Dec 17, 1977 at 8:59 PM EST
	FYI - the hidden track at the end of S.C.I.E.N.C.E. actually has a title: "Jose loves Kate Moss Part 1". Oh, and regarding that bit right after the song; it's not Brandon who goes off on Gavin, it was one of the producer's assistants, Brandon only asks: "Did he erase it?" then you hear him laugh, and once the music starts he says: “Gavin you &*$%ed up so bad”.

No Picture Daniel Average	#6 by Daniel Ellis at Dec 25, 1984 at 8:33 AM EST
	Actually Harry, I think I got a totally different meaning from this song. You said that it says "we shouldn't be victims of bad things that happen to us". Well i think it's saying the opposite, that we are to blame and maybe if he had cared more and tried to not be so pesimistic than things mighta went his way, at least maybe a little more towards his. Maybe I am wrong but I find all of incubus' song wonderfully meaningful wheather i relate or not, all except the instrumentals that is (no lyrics, no meaning to me, or at least until i learn to play an instrament). Oh and don't get me wrong dj kilmore and all the others are bad ass when it comes to jaming, but Brandon has a poetic phenomena with words. Wow that's long.

No Picture Allarme Average	#7 by Allarme at Jul 5, 1986 at 12:13 PM EST
	Why does he have to be sooooooooooo damn good looking and sooooooooo damned talented?! Jose is not that bad looking either. :)

No Picture Adam Wanna Be	#8 by Adam Spinelli at Sep 1, 1986 at 9:06 PM EST
	Yeah, because it's funny :cool:

No Picture Samantha Average	#9 by Samantha Waters at Mar 14, 1994 at 10:35 PM EST
	This song is like a story of Brandon's worst day. It says that how we shouldn't be victims of bad things that happen to us

No Picture steve Wanna Be	#10 by steve hoffmann at Mar 21, 2001 at 7:14 PM EST
	LOL i love this song! it's so funny! yeah the butt butt butt part is pretty hilarious. i also like it when he says "in actuality i let the zetas probe me!" Brandon can probe me any day!

No Picture Joshua Wanna Be	#11 by Joshua Osprey at Sep 1, 2005 at 6:43 AM EST
	man, i just have to say again that this songs absolutly kicks my ass...sideways what with the slow beginning then one of the coolest bassline yul ever hear... 1 2 3 Next

No Picture got floyd? Average	#12 by got floyd? at Dec 4, 2005 at 5:08 AM EST
	the very ending (written above) when brandon freaks out about the track kind of has an alternate meaning, i think. he sings this song about not letting bad things get to him, and to be more positive, and then he rips gavin's head off about an honest mistake. i found it kind of interesting, and i think there was a reason they put that at the end.
