Out From Under

The story behind

Incubus recorded Out From Under as part of their album Make Yourself, released in October 1999. The song lasts three and a half minutes, and sounds like a break from their previous style. In Out From Under, the band moves toward a more refined sound, with more production and a clearer rhythmic base. The song stands out for its driving rhythm and a structure that takes the listener from one moment to another, without losing the dynamism. It is a piece that shows their evolution, but also maintains the spirit of their more direct music. The lyrics speak of getting out of an oppressive place, of leaving behind what holds you back, and of seeking something more. It is a song that can be played live, that has weight, and that feels in every note.
