The story behind
Incubus released Warning in April 2002 as the third single from Morning View, their fourth album. The song was recorded in a studio named after the album, in a neighborhood of the city. The video, filmed in Sydney, shows a girl walking alone through crowded streets, ignoring everything around her. She wears a sweatshirt and a digital watch, looks ahead, as if she weren't there. Until, at 10:23, she screams for exactly one minute, with a voice that isn't heard in the video, only in the subtitles. It's a moment that lingers. ↓ Skip to chordsVerse 1
