Incubus - "Drive" and "Wish You Were Here"

  • Summary

  • On the latest episode of The Story Behind the Song, Incubus vocalist Brandon Boyd and lead guitarist Mike Einziger join host Peter Csathy to revisit two of their biggest hits: "Drive" and "Wish You Were Here." Listen to their conversation.

    Boyd and Einziger, who founded Incubus together in 1991, take a deep dive into the band's formation, their music, and their personal and professional journeys. Together, they trace the trajectory of their career, including how the breakout triggered by "Drive" impacted the recording of their fourth studio album, Morning View, and its lead single, "Wish You Were Here." In particular, Boyd candidly discusses how that success counterbalanced a rough patch in his romantic life.

    In addition to "Drive" and "Wish You Were Here," the Incubus members also discuss re-recording Morning Viewas Morning View XXIII; it just so happens the album celebrates its 23rd anniversary this October 22nd.
