"Nice To Know You"
Incubus
Morning View

Number of listens before I knew what to write: ||
Stars: 2

I really like this song because it is fun to sing along with. However, I often get bored in the first 20 seconds or so waiting for it to start. This is a good radio song, it's pleasant and takes just enough risks musically but not too much to make it difficult to listen to. And all radio songs should be fun to sing along with, right?
I'm only giving it 2 stars out of 5 though because it feels like a formulaic song-one that fills in what is necessary for a "hit". Incubus can do better.


Better than watching Geller bending silver spoons
Better than witnessing new born nebulas in bloom.
She who sees from 'up high' smiles and surely sings.
Perspective pries her once weighty eyes and it
Gives you wings.

I haven't felt the way I feel today
In so long it's hard for me to specify.
I'm beginning to notice how much this feels
Like a waking limb...pins and needles,
Nice to know you, good-bye x 4
Nice to know you... to know you

Deeper than the deepest Cousteau would ever go.
Higher than the heights of what we often think we know.
Blessed she who clearly sees the wood for the trees.
To obtain a 'birds eye' is to turn a blizzard to a breeze.

I haven't felt the way I feel today
In so long it's hard for me to specify.
I'm beginning to notice how much this
Feels like a waking limb... pins and needles,
Nice to know you, Good-bye
Nice to Know You,
To know... You

So could it be that it had been there all along?

I haven't felt the way I feel today
In so long it's hard for me to specify.
I'm beginning to notice how much this
Feels like a waking limb... pins and needles,
Nice to know you, Good-bye,
Nice to Know You
To know..You
