Monuments and Melodies

Monuments and Melodies is the first greatest hits compilation album by American rock band Incubus released on June 16, 2009 through Epic Records. It is released as a double-disc set, the first disc features 13 previously released singles from the albums Make Yourself, Morning View, A Crow Left of the Murder..., and Light Grenades, along with two new Brendan O'Brien-produced tracks, "Black Heart Inertia" and "Midnight Swim".

The second disc is a collection of rarities, including B-sides, soundtrack cuts, alternate versions, three previously unreleased songs, and a cover of Prince's "Let's Go Crazy". The album takes its title from a song that was originally released as the B-side to "Megalomaniac" and as a bonus track on international releases of A Crow Left of the Murder...; it is also included on Disc 2 of this album. The album art was drawn by vocalist Brandon Boyd.

Overview

Although disc 2 was advertised as being made up of almost entirely previously unreleased and unheard tracks, many of the included tracks can be found on other releases. "Neither of Us Can See" and "Admiration" were both included on the soundtrack to the movie Stealth in 2005; however, this version of "Neither..." features only Brandon Boyd on vocals. "While All The Vultures Feed" was a song recorded for the soundtrack to the movie Stealth, but was inexplicably left off; the song was, according to the band manager Steve rennie, recently "dug out and polished up" for the release. "Anything" was a song recorded during the Morning View sessions, which never made it past the demo stage. It was revealed that the song was born from a jam session between Mike Einziger and José Pasillas that was recorded for potential inclusion on the album. Bass guitar on the track was performed by Mike Einziger, and vocals were completed on the track during the demo stage. Eventually, however, the song was left off in favor of other tracks.

Midnight Swim

by: Incubus

A midnight swim is what I'm needing
A careless will, a fast for feeding
I take to the deep where the lights been 'til now, asleep
Gotta break out and find what the day left behind
So into blue, begin an ark
The man was you, true and spark, oh
I take to the deep where the lights been 'til now, safe
Gotta break out and find what the day left behind
Na, oh, no, no, oh, oh, woah, no, no, woah
Whoa, no, no, woah, whoa ah
Water and salt, secrets like new
Arrive salt, a midnight swim
I take to the deep where the lights until now, asleep
Gotta break out and find what the day left behind
Na, oh, no, no, oh, oh, woah, no, no, woah
Whoa, no, no, woah, whoa ah
