The story behind
Incubus recorded a song called Circles that was included in their album Morning View, released in 2001. The song has a smooth rhythm and a repeating structure, as if it were drawing a circle in the air. The band recorded it in a studio named after the album, and the atmosphere there was lighter than in their previous works. The song lasts 4 minutes and 9 seconds, and can be heard on streaming platforms. The lyrics speak of a relationship that repeats, as if trapped in a loop. ↓ Skip to chordsIntro 1
