Your Mirror

I wrote this when I first fell in love with my favorite band of all time.

When I first heard your album "Make Yourself", I had just moved back to Florida. I was spending a lot of time soul searching and reflecting on the painful divorce and separation from my children that I had just endured. I barely survived the pain of it all- barely came out alive.

 

As I began really listening to your music, I was absolutely blown away by the lyrics. And I mean to EVERY SINGLE SONG. It seemed like you guys were holding up an x-ray mirror exposing the contents of my heart, mind, body, and soul- then writing down and recording everything you saw there inside of me.

 

Being an aspiring writer myself, I'm not sure if I could ever metamorphasize thoughts into words the way that you do. From my perspective you are (without a doubt) among the very best lyricists in rock and roll history! Your talent has been an ASTRONOMICAL inspiration to me-- you really have no idea. Thank you for your music. It expedited the healing process in me and made me realize I am not alone in this world. That there are others sharing my same perception of reality. Please do not ever stop creating art that heals!

 

With all my heart, Crystal

 

**addendum (sept.2007) I went to see you play live TWICE this year! Now that I've seen you up close and personal (front row- thanks for the guitar pick, Mike) I'm even more in love w/ your talent and message and convinced that it heals souls and inspires many. What a truly spiritual experience an Incubus concert is. I've never seen so many grown men cry.**

While I don't know what band you speak of, I certainly relate to your having found comfort in music. Eons ago, something similar happened to me, and like you, certain music held up that x-ray mirror. A fine and honest piece of writing.
