Agnes Obel Lyrics
The darkness and the ghost
They dance so sweet and slow
Dug-out from below there
To damn the gods
A grip that will hold
That is so tight and close
Around my throat with
The weight of all our lives
You could give to my heart
Thousand words or more
You could give to my heart
Thousand words or more
The drum you stroke
Damn, that beat so old
In the ground it grows there
To damn the sun
The gates of gold
In your head you hold
A kingdom molten
May the gods be on your side
You could give to my heart
Thousand words or more
You could give to my heart
Thousand words or more

I always find myself in another world while listening Agnes. Here lyrics:
The darkness and the ghost
They dance so sweet and slow
Dug-out from below there
To damn the gods
A grip that will hold
So tight and close
Around my throat with
The weight of all our lives
You can give to my heart
Thousand words or more
You can give to my heart
Thousand words or more
The drum you stroke
Damn that beat so old
In the ground it grows there
To damn the sun (oh what will come to life)
Gates of gold
In your head you hold
A kingdom molten
May the gods be on your side
You can give to my heart
Thousand words or more
You can give to my heart
Thousand words or more

True story: I saw her live a few weeks ago. I was just standing there absorbing all of these violins and crescendos and her voice, her voice literally hypnotized me. My palms started getting sweaty. I kept looking for the bathroom sign because I thought I was going to pass out. I didn't understand why I was feeling that way in the moment. I had food in my stomach. Didn't even drink alcohol. It was simply her music. Her music is that powerful.

That's probably a dopamine, when u feel exited about song; got crazy feelings about it, you release dopamine if you feel satisfaction while watching it.

sorry to me that sounds like saying somebody spiked your drink with cocaine and now u are sleeping
Rowan smith
@markkil you probably DEFINITELY dont mean ecstasy, you mean some kind of depressant that puts people to sleep

The woman's amazing. I RARELY like every single song someone puts out. I could listen to Agnes' music all day. Every song.
Danielle Merriott
I think Agnes is one of only 2 or 3 artists I feel that way about! I truly love every single song of hers that I've heard!
