Agoraphobia - Acoustic

Agoraphobia is an abnormal fear of public places or crowds (in ancient Greece, an agora was a public square or marketplace). People with agoraphobia usually stay in their homes.

Lead singer Brandon Boyd: "That song is sort of covering the idea that there is a very strong tendency for certain media outlets to try and keep us afraid as to keep us consuming and docile and pliable, so to speak. I think it captures that feeling that we don't want to stay indoors, and that even though we're sort of sometimes being forced to, or forced to feel like we have to, you don't necessarily have to."

When the coronavirus pandemic forced most of the world into quarantine in 2020 this song became a fitting one for the times. Responding to this, Incubus released an acoustic version on June 26, 2020 recorded remotely by the band members in lockdown. Proceeds from the new version are being donated to Feeding America.
