Familiar Lyrics:
Can you walk on the water if I, you and I?
Be'Cause your blood's running cold outside the familiar true to life
Can you walk on the water if I, you and I?
Or keep your eyes on the road and live in the familiar without you and I
It glows with gates of gold to true life
For our love is a ghost that the others can't see
It's a danger
Every shade of us you fade down to keep
them in the dark on who we are
(Oh what you do to me)
This love is gonna be the death of me
It's a danger
'Cause our love is a ghost that the others can't see
We took a walk to the summit at night, you and I
To burn a hole in the old grip of the familiar true to life
And the dark was opening wide, do or die
Under a mask of vermillion ruling eyes
And our love is a ghost that the others can't see
It's a danger
Every shade of us you fade down to keep
them in the dark on who we are
(Oh what you do to me)
Gonna be the death of me
It's a danger
'Cause our love is a ghost that the others can't see

Dark's scriptwriter: let's make a series for these songs...
Sometimes I write chapters for my RPG narrative and it's based in some random songs that touched me.
I would have liked the comment, but its 33 now, i dont want to it
It's 55 now
So good ❤
"Love is a ghost that the others can't see...It's a danger.."
For some reason that just sends a chill down my spine.
"And OUR love is a ghost that the others can't see
It's a danger"
Just check the lyrics.
Agnes is a musical and poetic genius.
Such beautiful words in a second language for her 💚
Same feeling😍
Was literally gonna type the same thing
Truly beautiful line by agnes.
She is completely unique in all that she does.
Dark definitely has left a scar on my brain. I won't ever forget it.
Same
It is now my favorite series next to Lost
It's crazy how every piece of music in Dark fits the scene so perfectly.
I am actually so happy to see your comment cause dark actually was a German series and I am happy to see that even people from other countries are watching it! c:
@@sukkubus9882 Dark is my favourite tv show; it's an absolute masterpiece. I'm from the uk and since I started watching I've been trying to convince friends & family to watch it because it deserves as much recognition as possible, although a lot of them haven't watched it yet which is really frustrating. It's the only German show I've seen and I'm so glad I stumbled across it. I can't wait to be blown away again in season 3.
Wilzy I did. the same thing and asked my parents to watch it and they also were really impressed. You are right, dark is amazing.
@@sukkubus9882 Dark is my fav serie of all time, every person which i recommended this show absolutly loved it! Incredible how everyone loves Dark
@@sukkubus9882 I have never everrrr watched something from there. I am Mexican and I'm used to watch only American stuff, I don't even like french series cause I get tired of the voices so easily, but with dark I really feel like there's no other language that could portrait the story so good, and I don't even speak German. the story is insanely good and the production is so perfect, I can tell you that a lot of people from here love the series.
I’m stuck in an infinite loop listening to this song. The end is the beginning and the beginning is the end.
Mee too...🖤
I've been there, beautiful place
Sic mundus creatus est
@@Ashicakez3 I just love it. You're post made me think, "I want to know this person"
This is exactly how it feels having this on repeat 😊
Leaving this comment here for anyone in 2024 ❤️ what a song
I'm here for it
I wish I could listen to this song for the first time again
Everytime I get first time vibe.. Its too complex
I wish she had other songs that sounded like this one
Well, just go back in time
been listening to it 6 times now...but i never sleep, good song!
Wow... Me too
And the Fans of DARK just can't stop themselves from coming here again and again
I saw you so many times
Sic mundus....
The fans of DARK came here before this song existed
Can't help
It's the only infinite loop I wish not to stop.
That chorus gives me chills every time. I love this song.
it's truly incredible
@@9Nikko8 this song is beyond music
Even more chills when you realize ALL the singing including chorus is Agnes…
@@MacSaxe Citation needed, but that's amazing if true.
@@robertmurrell3852 watch any of her live performances and you’ll see :)
Just started my journey with Dark and this song popped up in episode 3 and it sounded so nostalgic and beautiful 💜
You are in for such a treat. It is a phenomenal series!!
I wish I could unwatch the series just to be able to watch it for the first time again.
Same! Just watched it!
The ending could be so much better, but it is one of my favorite shows
@@preston6018 the ending is perfect
This song is so well used in dark
They have so uniquely fitting music it's unbelievable.... I'm gonna miss this fucking show when it's over so much, this is first show that actually isn't scared to challenge it's viewer's brains and i want more of that now.
better in cardinal
AbneyParkMCY omg are you me seriously
It was beautiful
@@Jerthy100 i personally found it extremely stupid . I love the concept but the execution was hilarious to me. I couldn't watch beyond the second episode of season 2 and its a shame cause season 1 was great. But from what i say there are other worlds so yeah. And i say this as someone that LOVES and studies mathematics and physical endlessly.
This song is 46 years old, but still gold in 2052. Love it🔥

It is very impressive that she can do "both" voices. I thought there is a male vocalist, then I watched her live performances and saw it is only she, the cellist and the percussionist. They are also very talented..
About that Agnes Obel said "The chorus, it was sort of “secret singing,” like a ghost singing. And then I used this pitch shifter to make the voice sound ghostly. I also wanted something that sounded a little digital, because I feel a lot of our love life today is taking place in the internet - it’s digitalized, in a way. I thought it would be nice if it had this digitalized, electronic sound to the voice in the chorus".
She also uses male backup singers when available. Look at her video where she's live in Denmark. She has two male vocalists singing this part with her harmonizing.
Think they pitch her voice down for that effect. I thought it was a male singing too at first though. Love this song
Wow! Thanks actually. Never thought that "chorus" is also her.
@@kaseyc9459 "They" don't do anything to her voice! She does using electronics
This entire song (even the apaarently male part) was sung by Agnes. Sheer brilliance.
its just a pitch down effect for the lower part
@@kwaddamage8286 she is still who is singing

"Familiar"
Can you walk on the water with I, you and I?
"Because your blood's running cold" said the familiar, true to life
Can you walk on the water with I, you and I?
Or keep your eyes on the road and live there familiar, without you and I
It glows with gates of gold, true to life

Because it can be quite hard to explain. To me it's like I'm listening with my whole body - goosebumps, butterflies in my stomach, elevated pulse, my eyes get a little wet. I'm feeling love and sadness at the same time. Very nostalgic. Magnificent track.
The Atmosphere this song creates is just mindblowing.
Same, me to.

This was also the theme to Cardinal, which was an excellent Canadian detective series.

DARK: When Dark uses Familiar by Agnes Obel (familiar name), it was the first time where I realized (and probably everyone) how special this show was on so many levels. The ability to combine the perfect music with such pivotal scenes is brilliant. This is the first deeply emotional scene portraying the chain of events that are about to happen. It's the first time we saw where this show was going. Absolutely brilliant cinematography and score, combined with arguably one of the greatest stories ever told.
I totally agree and the emotions that these scenes can make us feel are really powerful
Couldn't agree more with you! The best moment.
Yes!!! It gives me chills!
I heared from people who had preview access to season 3 already, that you need to watch it loud. Sound engineering is even better then season 2 they say.
GERTH agreed. So emotional

1:34 the moment the song melts into my body
I came here from GNTM and I cannot stop listening to Agnes. No words. This is more than music.
Me too! I‘ve been searching this song for so long. So thankful I finally found it.
That low pitched chorus gives me multiple eargasms!

@@erandiosamb6163 don't forget that your past self will also watch the show with you
The chorus sounds like a male voice, but that's actually Obel's voice pitched down and layered to make it sound ghostly - what she calls "secret singing." The processed vocal also goes with the theme of love (especially secret love) taking place in cyberspace much of the time.
Now you know ;)
Thanks! I was actually reading comments to find out who’s singing in the chorus :)
yeah!!! Just check out her live performance of this song!!! She pulls off that voice easily without any electronic devices!

For years, I thought what a great Duet...then after over 5 years I had to realize it's everything sang by one person. What a great work with her voice.
it's digital conversion, nothing to be amazed about... love her thou, been on her concert recently, postponed four times because of the pandemic since early 2020 but it was worth the wait
Oh I didn’t know that.
Heard this song in the Netflix series 'Dark' and I was floored on how beautifdul and creative this song was produced! Now I am a fan. The male vocal sounding set throughout the song is so moving and entrancing. It's crazy good.

@@TerryKitto best comment ever!
I'm a ghost writer of songs, books, poems for funerals and weddings. I get 100 percent of my inspiration from music, even if it doesn't have the same subject matter.
I wrote this for this song
It's so easy living in the past
Sleepwalking through each day
Living where I saw you last
Pretending I'm okay
"Wir vertrauen auf den linearen,ewig gleichförmigen Verlauf der Zeit bis in die Unendlichkeit.Aber die Unterschiede zwischen Vergangenheit,Gegenwart und Zukunft ist nichts weiteres als eine Illusion."
"Menschen sind besondere Geschöpfe, alle ihre Handlungen werden vom Verlangen bestimmt, ihr Charakter wird vom Schmerz geformt. So sehr sie auch versuchen mögen, den Schmerz zu unterdrücken, das Verlangen zu unterdrücken, sie können sich nicht von der ewigen Knechtschaft ihrer Gefühle befreien, solange der Sturm anhält In ihnen tobt, sie können keinen Frieden finden, weder im Leben noch im Tod, und so werden sie Tag für Tag alles tun, was getan werden muss, der Schmerz ist ihr Schiff, das Verlangen ihr Kompass, alles, wozu die Menschheit fähig ist."
Friend: How is DARK?
Me: The question is not about how... but when?
Copy cat
No it’s not when it’s where
Lmaooooo that’s exactly what I’m gonna say
Vrindavan ........
the question is not when its what world
1:33 to 2:00 lyrics:
"And our love is a ghost that the others can't see
It's a danger
Every shade of us you fade down to keep
Them in the dark on who we are (oh, what you do to me)
Gonna be the death of me
It's a danger
'Cause our love is a ghost that the others can't see (oh)
"
This describes Martha's and Jonas' love very well!!!!
Sad For My Parents 😭
Just read this after all this time (yeap still returning here because of Dark ) and literally gave me chills all over my body!
Incredible to every detail
I think this describes most of the loves that the characters were living, they all were in different kind of pains. And I'm in pain for every one of them
Fr!! mayn...only the dark fans can feel the true sentiments of this song
Others can't see because they never existed 😭❤
My excelent musical taste brought me here.
Jaaaa... aber Eigenlob stinkt.

Got goosebumps from the scene which this music was played unto, and even replayed it at least 3 times---thank goodness I did not missed out on this music and series!
Am I the only person who 's listening that song over and over again?
I've just finished Dark right now and Agnes Obel is one of my favorite singer ever.

JAJA! Good comment, regards from Colombia
This song has grabbed and haunted me ever since first hearing it in Dark, S1E3. I couldn't get enough of it for a while.
Now, I've just recently played through Life is Strange: True Colors, and when this came up to play in Steph's story, it only added another layer. All the emotional turmoil and complexity that was in the game, the connection to the characters, and the struggles, now all those also paint the song. It might now make it the most emotional song I know due to those connections.
I just started watching it tonight and this song is incredible
This song is the number 1 song in my youtube music 2023 recap 😁
mine too, 132 times listen in 2023, 0.1% of Agnes listeners.

Gorgeous. (Way back in the day Laurie Anderson used a similar vocal technique that she called "audio drag.")

Yaeh
Hah! Same ♡
i was just reading the comments hoping to confirm that suspicion, thanks, i've heard this song somewhere once and i knew because that voice is haunting
It's rare for me to hear a song and be completely captivated half way through. What a piece of art. I think the last band that hit me this hard with a song was by Belle & Sebastian or Marc Antione. It really sounds like it would have been a song off of the Romeo & Juliet soundtrack in the '90's. Cheers.
I listen to a selection of her music falling asleep every night. Wonderful, complex, soothing, magical. Her live performance in London last autumn was the best and most cerebral concert I've seen since an amazing Pink Floyd concert in the 1970s!

I started screaming for joy in front of my mom and saying like a freak (😆) that it's Agnes Obel and I love this song...

Actually it's Agnes' voice
wow, at points sounds like the artist once known as Anthony of Anthony and the Johnsons
Goosebumps ❤️
I have been listening to this song for almost ten years now and I just got the story this song is about. She is such a powerful musician when it comes to evoking emotions just by voice, melody and words alone, that the meaning was completely lost to me until now.
The song is about a love affair - two people who meet and fall in love and can't be together because of the lifes they lead.
"Can you walk on the water if I, you and I?
Or keep your eyes on the road and live in the familiar, without you and I"
In the beginning of the song, she asks her lover if their love is possible. She compares it to walking on water, but she also references the lifes they both lead, wondering what's more impossible - to be together, or to carry on like it never happened.
"For our love is a ghost that the others can't see,
It's a danger
Every shade of us you fade down to keep
Them in the dark on who we are"
This is a reference to their love threatening their usual lifes. Which is why I think it's about an affair. If people knew, it would destroy everything, so they got to stay quiet.
"We took a walk to the summit at night, you and I
To burn a hole in the old grip of the familiar, you and I
And the dark was opening wide, do or die"
This could mean a litteral walk at night, or it could be a reference to sleeping with each other. "To the summit at night", "to burn a hole" - the first one could be a more direct reference, while the second one references passion, that is yet again forbidden and thus not just burning but burning a hole into the every day life.
Edit: "do or die" in this context references the impossibility of not taking these actions and the deep longing after each other.
If we view the whole of the song though, it makes me think about the choice of title and the focus on the topic of the familiar. It feels like it's unclear to her herself if the feelings they have for each other arise from a longing for adventure and new, intense experiences to break out of the familiar or if it is something true and honest. It's hard to say if she thinks the familiar is something bad or good. If it is something that you get comfortable in, even though you shouldn't. Or if it's a good and baluable thing.
And maybe it's neither. Maybe it's just a view on how time goes, always, turning something new into something familiar, making you wish for new things in a cyclical motion that we're doomed to repeat forever?
Idk if my analysis makes sense to anyone but myself. However, to me, this seems very logical. :)
She said it was about a secret. And that the whole album is about living lives while everyone is watching, digitally.
I love your analysis of the song. Well articulated. It’s now the only thing I hear when I listen to it. Thanks for sharing!
Building on your interpretation, I like how the song at 1:18 builds as though you expect the chorus, offering some resolution to the build up, but instead goes back to the opening melody. Back to the familiar. It’s as though passions are high and instead of being able act on their love for one another, they are instead confronted with reality and the familiar. Then, while in this part of the song comes the chorus. As though the passion and longing for one another is breaking through the attempt to return to normal.
Yes. All of it. You see.
You found the key. And you see her brilliance.
First time i heard this song while watching the show, wow! It was so powerful.
Same here..

I wish I had friends who would appreciate such a beautiful and perfect song ❤️
💯
come to Denver...
This is a very popular song in Ethiopia and Chile
You never know you might find one 🙂 for now a stranger says you have good taste in music. So chill up.
Im listening this from Eastern Europe so...
When I listen to this song I feel guided and probed into a space that I can't withhold without the energy from her melody.
She is the incarnation of space and time in music
This song was used in Dark Souls 3 - Fire fades edition trailer before Dark Netflix is mindblowing
What!? I didn't even realize that. That's so awesome. This song, Dark Souls 3, and Dark are all amazing.
I was looking for this song from last 33 years!
I just watched season 3 and ...
I don’t know, it hit me empty with that end of the two and the rest of the knot turning to dust,
I’m sad for a few weeks
leave me alone world.
I love you Dark.
i feel you.
same omg.
It’s hard isn’t it when something so good ends but I found watching it all again helped...big time
Discuss it elsewhere, it's Agnes video, not Dark
This is like If Bjork, Kate Bush and Tori Amos had a child together. I just love the eerie, atmospheric tempo, lyrics and amazingly complimentary, equally brilliant vocals in this song.
Anohny too
The chorus sounds like a male voice, but that's actually Obel's voice pitched down and layered to make it sound ghostly - what she calls "secret singing." The processed vocal also goes with the theme of love (especially secret love) taking place in cyberspace much of the time.
This is really different from her usual style yet the moment you listen to It you know its Agnes Obel.
I love this :D
I'm agree with you, the style change is brutal. Passages with the battery that did not exist does not fit with the style of music that we know. Piano, violin and bass are still there but to do it.
Personally, I have a little trouble to hold on to this new genre.
You're right. The song is good, however, compared to her earlier work it is somehow not as outstanding. This awkward voice effect is just not her style. It seems to me as a weak attempt to use some elements of the modern pop music. Although, this is still better than most of those garbage pop songs.
Goosebumps 🌬🌾🍃 Love how haunting and subtle this entire composition is,
I wrote a poem Don't Stone Me by ninanile. Please check it out on my channel.
Honestly, I'm not hearing elements from modern pop music being used in a negative way. It sounds like she's just altering her voice for dramatic effect. I wish more artists were as bold as to try those kinds of effects and really shift their sound. Most modern pop acts would be quivering to attempt anything like this, assuming they'd plummet down the charts. This is as refreshing as can be. For me, at least.
To me it sounds as if there were male voices - cool effect
