The Curse Lyrics:
And the people went into their hide, they oh
From the start they didn't know exactly why, why
Winter came and made it so all look alike, look alike
Underneath the grass would grow, aiming at the sky
It was swift, it was just, another wave of a miracle
But no one, nothing at all would go for the kill
If they called on every soul in the land, on the moon
Only then would they know a blessing in disguise
The curse ruled from the underground down by the shore
And their hope grew with a hunger to live unlike before
The curse ruled from the underground down by the shore
And their hope grew with a hunger to live unlike before
Tell me now of the very souls that look alike, look alike
Do you know the stranglehold covering their eyes?
If I call on every soul in the land, on the moon
Tell me if I'll ever know a blessing in disguise
The curse ruled from the underground down by the shore
And their hope grew with a hunger to live unlike before
And the curse ruled from the underground down by the shore
And their hope grew with a hunger to live unlike before - เพลง
This isn't music, this is therapy
Right... 20 years ago, I cured myself with "The Penguin Café Orchestra". With rather good results ;-)
Have a try : th-cam.com/video/f-BrkEo8knM/w-d-xo.html
indeed!
This right here!
So True!!!
but still music indeed
All the comments are talking about the voice, but few are talking about this fantastic band and the talented violinist, pure perfection
Yes they are spectacular so much music from these 3 girls it's almost hard to believe
Yeah. The band is amazing.
@angel martinez i know right most see a viola and call it a violin , but how she pulls the fast bows and makes it sound like a cello, class ;-]
@angel martinez that's my favourite sound 😉
@Corvus Corax
Ihr Kommentar ist sehr differenziert, mir gefällt ihre Betrachtungsweise der Dinge.
Aber der springende Punkt in ihrem Kommentar ist der Egoismus dieser kennt kein Geschlecht.
Leider ist/war es schon immer so, jene die am lautesten schreien werden auch gehört egal welche Qualifikation diese Person mitbringt. Suchen sie mal nach "Mount Stupid"
I'm in 2024 and this is the most artistic piece of music I've ever listened to. Everything about this sound says time and effort makes beautiful.. There wasn't a note missed
Agreed, I don't know how I missed hearing this before now. Flawless musicianship all around.
Anyone in 2024 ?
All day erryday. Twice on Sundays.
@@alexanderbull933 😊
Dude this video has 51m views. obviously people watch it every day what is the point of this stupid fucking question
Yes me 😊
Heyyyyy🎉
One of those rare finds that make you glad to be alive and a part of the human race.
Only, it was a quite specific branch of the human race that created this, wasn't it?
totally!!!!
Was gonna make the same observation. Good to see so many woke these days.
You Sir have a good Taste in Music.
Amen
Who are listening to this beautiful song in 2021😍?
I just found it, so: me
I love it
Me
I did too. It's wonderfully boring. I slept from a long night before. It's nice to hear this when not in an elevator!
Me , many times. This is art!!!
9 years on and still an amazing track
Good things never dissapear😉
@@KLienne why?!?! Agnes obel is the best!! 🤬

Ten!
agnes' songs always make me feel like i'm walking though the woods during autumn/winter, feeling every bit of nature by myself
Etheral ❤
Like you can feel the moss between your toes and smell the moist air.
fr
The cello, the violin, the voice...they tried to make a song but messed up and made absolute art.
It's a viola. Common mistake. Don't sweat it.
found this as discovered broken sleep, could not have put it better
You had us in the first half not gonna lie
Nicely said. It's stunning. I have chills running up my spine. Love her.
Failed successfully
This is one of the songs which is protecting my mental health during quarantine
🏸😗👨👦😱😱👽
She is very cool! I've just realised she is real and I could pay to watch her perform hehe.. She is not just a entity to sooth our souls. One day eh!? ♥️ Where r u from? I'm in the UK. Finding little odd jobs to do.. trying to get up before 10 am 🤪 How r u?
check out Pomme
Hell yes
Comforts the soul
Who is listening to this beautiful song in 2023?
A 67 y/o man in KS. To sleep, perchance to dream.
I love this so much ❤❤❤
Remind me of Hobo tough life
Anyone who appreciates class 👌🏻
Never stopped

Masterpiece
DARK introduce me to her music, she is fantastic
Same. I watched episode 3 yesterday and just as I was starting to realize how special the show is the scene with Familiar happened and it completely floored me. Since then I've been too busy listening to Agnes Obel to watch any more!
🙋🏻♂️🙋🏻♂️🙋🏻♂️🙋🏻♂️
Adam Bainbridge you’re gonna love it!!
@@vini6699 Thank you. I finished season 3 this morning. Wow!
Adam Bainbridge 🙋🏻♀️The same here ..!
I just can't believe that 2 strings and a piano make such an astounding, haunting sound. This is the kind of music that makes you cherish the art.
And a voice. And such a voice!
a true masterpiece: the voice, the cello, the violin, all is perfect
Viola, not violin, which is what gives this the extra deep slightly boxy sounding quality. Really nice piece.
@@makers_lab Correct !!!
I found this masterpiece in the middle of 2022 and I thank life, I think it's the most beautiful thing I've heard in a long time and it helped me encourage myself to get up from my depression, not everything is lost! It's absolutely amazing. Thank you Agnes 🙏🏻❤
I know her cause i watched Dark
Just Awesome ❤️
I HEAR you Eddie!!
Masterpiece for the soul 🍷
life is worth living just for simple things like music, just perceive it with all your senses, because life is beautiful
For those who may concern: this is not a piano. It's a celesta.
Thanks 👍
i thought it's an electric piano with a celesta sound xD cuz I've never seen a celesta before I just know the name hahaha
@@chihebbaazaoui9388 Electric pianos generally are more compact. But yeah, it could be. I'm not a piano specialist. Haha
Thanks! I was wondering what instrument this was.
Thanks, I knew the name but never heard one !
This song is like a spell, it captures your soul deep, takes you to a higher plane of existence, your core dances ecstatically possessed by flames of another world.
After coming straight from a live performance by Aurora of her *Wolves* this is a little too silent for me atm, but i'll give it a go again around nighttime to experience the magic 😇
Aww, but the song made my cat go to sleep! Thought I saw him waving to me in the corner of my eye but he was just moving in a dream 😁💖
@@1Pineapple Agnes obel is way more magical!!!!! No contest
You should be a lyricist
That was beautifully presented.
2024, this is still an amazing beauty
Piano, viola, cello and the sweetest voice. What more could you want?
Bad bunny as a side singer XD
Besides the astounding talent and musicality of Agnes Obel, a shout out has to go to the recording engineers who totally nailed this session!
I love that they kept the click of the effects pedal switch at the beginning. I thought I was the only one that did that.
100%, what a light touch, letting the musicians shine.
This is of that kind of music I like to listen laying in bed, with closed eyes, flying in every note to paradise.
havent been swallowed whole by sick shit since god bless
Check this out th-cam.com/video/YT-ECHaz4PE/w-d-xo.html
I see everyone praising the band, the sound engineers, Agnes. But no one is talking about the cleaning crew, i couldn't see a speck of dust on those floors. Timeless cleanliness 👏
So Sorry just was mesmerized by the Beautiful Music being Played on the Floor.!!!
It's 2024 who's hear?
I am listening 🎶💫
I still check in. I actually came back here because I heard the smallest clip from Expats on Prime. This is my favorite version though. ❤
Las (a todas) todo el tiempo, obra maestra, qué belleza ❤
Several times
There are some very special people that have cultivated and mastered their gifts into a higher level of performance art. Her music is a spark for the soul. Makes you want to stop and just, be here now.
Living in the moment is a beautiful gift,as is this song
I found her and her music years ago, about when I was in six grade I think. Now I'm 20 years old. But every time I listen to her, it is just like the first time. It makes me feel like my soul is somewhere else, or maybe in another space dimension. Get high naturally by her music :)
This is what music is all about, isn't it? Most beautiful reaction. Magical💖🪄
I'm actually reduced to tears it is so beautiful. Luckily this music is timeless as at almost 50 I have much catching up to do...
I found her music watching the Netflix series Dark (I listened to “Familiar” 30 times over the same day I first heard it on the show) and have been in love with her music ever since. So much in fact it played a big role in inspiring me to learn to play piano. I’m still a beginner and struggle playing some of her music fluently with 2 hands but, omg actually being to play it all is a sublime feeling. With enough practice I’ll get there. I haven’t started learning it yet, but I have the sheet music for this song already printed. It makes learning an instrument so rewarding.
So ya.. I've probably listened to this 100 times and counting. These three absolutely killed it. I'll be checking in for years to come.
fenomenal lindo espantoso de grande beléza
Love this music. Very soothing for the heart in the troubled times of 2023
I just love the simplicity of this amazing woman. Pure talent no autotunes, no crazy outfits and hair, no crazy productions. Just her beautiful songs and genre is enough for us to see how amazing she is as an artist. ❤️🧠
🤦♂️👩⚖
@@alirezashsevarishsevari4114 is there a problem?
@@graceescoto9240 she just wants attention
One of the best random songs YT decided to suggest to me.
agree
By me same, indeed she became pushed with clicks you see this, and its typical for Universal, but anyway the music is amazing ;).
Same for me!
Beautiful, thank you for sharing from the conido this beauty. I invite my channel Ananad amsuica medicina to come and listen to and nourish us from there. Embrace and Gratitude!
Watch dark in Netflix
This song to me is the feeling you get sitting by a lake or pond as the rain slowly pours down and you are just sitting getting wet and watching the ripples in the water sneak up on each other until they overlap.
Angels on earth exist in people like these. Makes me homesick for the place I know not where...absolutely beautiful
We’ll all be there one day
Man...I listen to old school rap and metal..this melted my soul..
We've all been a little vulnerable lately. This too melted my soul a little while ago: th-cam.com/video/wEj7xYyj9n4/w-d-xo.html
So,there is hope for you ;-)
where is still hope for you
FEEL U BRO
I think this time is exactly about our souls coming back into our body awareness. We are going back to being humanKind
I saw her perform this live last night, and she talked about how this song has a lot to do with the stories we tell ourselves, and how those stories shape us as people, as well as those around us.
2024 anyone? 😂😂
Whats funny about it?
Yes, im listing

Needs nothing more to say. I´m a man. The greatest things on earth for me are souch girls voices and instruments.
In my fantasy, soo sounds angels. Hope, later I will get to heaven and here such things till eternety.
I can't get over the fact that this is live. Even video evidence isn't enough proof. AMAZING
perhaps the sound of the pedal switching on at 0:39 will do.
a few mistakes in there, but they just reminded me that it was indeed live. and reminded me just how amazing it is.
Well now that you have said it is live then in fact it really must be live, without you many of us would be at a loss as to if this was "Live" or not.
ich bin ein berliner...has amazing listeners too.
don't think the sound is live entirely, only if the plucking of the strings was sent on a loop, but they clearly started plucking an then switched.... so its either a loop or edited
When she and her orchestra played this live in İstanbul in 2014, I had never seen an audience look that mesmerized. The instrumental outro enchanted the entire room. Her show was an unforgettable and awe inspiring experience for every single person in the audience. I want to see Myopia live SO badly. Hope you grace İstanbul with your music again some time.
Was going to see a show in London but the pandemic hit. The live sound they have created for Myopia is truly divine (from what I have seen on her TH-cam channel).
1 temmuzda İstanbulda olacakmış
Kadın söylüyo ab
1 Temmuz 2022
şükürler olsun 1 temmuzda görmeye gidebiliyorum. Bu kadar heyecanlandığım çok az şey olmuştur.
Agnes Obel (& band) have a sound that is so unique and relaxing and challenging on an intellectual level, because it's that rare.
Oh Agnes, you deserve the 44 million views so much! I'm so happy people recognize your outstanding talent.
Agnes' ability to evoke deep thought and raw emotion with her music is a testament to not only the power of music, but Agnes' mastery of it. This song makes me feel very many things all at once, and it hurts, but in the best way. It almost projects a crystal clear picture into my mind of a specific setting and subject. This song is almost cinematic, if not melancholy and slightly ominous.
you could not have said it better
Well put
Damn right!
Perfect choice of words to describe this. Thanks Robert.
Loved your words, thank you 💜
Listening to Agnes is better than 100 sessions of therapy.
In 2023 we are still listening to this beautiful music. And we will keep listening in the future… Congrats Agnes Obel, Anne and Mika.
Don't mind me, just rewatching this for like the 20th time. Every few months I seem to come back and give this one a gander. It's just too good.
Whenever i feel like i don’t want to do anything and just laze about, i can count on Agnes Obel to save me! Her music just clears my head, makes me feel lighter and just makes me want to LIVE! Fantastic artist. Truly one of a kind... her music has a soul, it delivers energy like music should.
9oo9I o9
I can relate! Everything u wrote is the exact same feeling I have listening to her music! I’m rlly happy I found her. She’s just gorgeous and has a beautiful voice.
This is the kind of song you just want to keep turning the volume up higher and higher.
This song will never cease to be epic.
This is the kind of music that makes me think: Ok, I wouldn't be able to live in a world without music
Wanted to share this festival memory, because I just shared it on my personal facebook as well.
For me and my friends, Agnes Obel is one of those many artists and bands you know from only one song (in this case: Riverside). So when she was scheduled to appear at Rock Werchter 2014, my friends and me thought: "Well, let's watch this for at least 5 minutes to see if she's more than just that one song. And if not, there are other shows and artists to see".
So we went in the big tent. We were there at the beginning of the show, and at the end of the show my friends and I still stood there, with our jaw very close to the floor. One of the best shows of that year, and one that is etched in our memory - probably for a long time.
Her music changed my life.
It is really beautiful and so skilled, a nice surprise for me really enjoyed it.
Marÿon Tosi no this i understand
same
her you mean them right dont ever leave out the other artists and musictians that bring it to life shes only as strong as her team never forget
Marÿon Tosi es hermoso ésto 😢
Starting 4:27 hits something for me. I remember riding an overnight bus from the small mountain town in Japan that I'd lived in back to Tokyo for the last time and looking out the window and as this part came on we got high enough up the mountain where you could see over the peaks and the sky was just LITTERED with stars. The universe felt close enough to touch and this song, that movement in particular always brings that image back.
Perfect image for this piece! Wow!
There is so much beauty in this world. So much to enjoy. But we sometimes forget about it😢
I am today years old. It’s raining in my shire, and this is art 💆🏾♀️❤
sounds like a dream
Sounds like ice cream.
You aggrandized little bit.
Sounds like a fairytale
Looks like a fantasy
This is magnificent.
All in this piece is just perfect. The way they fill the space only with 3 people and all that gear. It's a very minimal instruments setting but it's so rich and profound !
agreed!
Such a refreshing vibe...
Musical menage a trois!
Who is listening 2023 i hope you have a wonderful day ❤
It's 2024 and this is still beautiful 😊
I spent my entire shift last night listening to this. The instrumental part had me reevaluating my thought processes & focusing on everything I have in imagination land. Thank you Agnes for everything you do...
Ángel Nobody i lolled at this "okay"
Bruh i found this on accident and haven't stopped listening yet. im black by the way lol
Domyr Mathis does it matter which color u are? Music connects everyone no matter which skin color or religion.
Domyr Mathis bruh me too
bruh?
This talented artist deserves way more attention. True beauty.
Ditto, Unfortunately American Music Is Riddled With Country, Rap, TexMex [and] Rock [and] Not Enough Of International Influences
TH-cam recommends this to me now no matter what I play first. It knows me well I guess.
I closed my eyes and drifted to a place where time doesn't exist while listening to this song.
Still one of her most incredible live sessions. Every piece she comes out with is just more and more haunting and beautiful than the last.
totally correct ....!!
Saw her live, in her home town Copenhagen a few months ago before all of the Corona shit, and my God, have I never felt more at peace than at that concert.
so jealous!
Good morning Sir. Regards UK.
She's indeed otherworldly ❤️
You’re lucky! Glad you had that experience.
Some of the best music I've heard in at least 20 years.
2023, that sweet dull pain of memories I’ve become accustomed too. This song revives and heals them all ❤
One of these unhumanly beatiful songs and melodies that transport you to a beautiful place, far, far away in your mind.
3:34 her voice is so magical, gives me goosebumps but I keep repeating.
Thats by far one of the most beautiful songs I ever heard ❤️
Written by Camille Saint Saens? Lol
who still listens to this 10 years later✌️😍
The timing of everything here is extraordinary.
When sound transcends time and I am lost and comfortable; that is where I want to be. Thank you.
This is perfect and absolutely beautiful
the voice
the band
the song
No flaws
2023 to Infinity ♾️ will I be listening to this beautiful song...
The only word I can find to do this song justice is Transcendent and even then I'm stil selling it short. Absolutely beautiful work ladies please never stop.
The songs performed in this live session sound better than the album versions. Incredible talent.
I was just thinking this sounds better than the album.
Yes I saved this version in Spotify over the album one. The ending is just amazing....
9 years old how am I only hearing this now
You know a song is good when you start to stray how incredible far can get the human instruments n voices, and thats one of them. Really sounds like heaven, these women both complement themselves, amazing harmony. Xoxo from Brazil
Aaaah só os brazuca.
❤
This could be called classics in few hundred years.
i cannot believe i only just discovered this masterpiece
You don't discovered, the song found you
@@UnaCosaConPatas that's right, cause only by one click 🤫 this sound found me💬
Me too🤙 but it's so fine, it's so amazing
Someone sent this to me . Automatic follow from me .
The artistry and God given talent, sheesh! I hope these three amazing women never stop making these exceptional masterpieces or compromise their vision ... We see and feel it too ❤
Unglaublich, was für eine tolle Stimme zu einer so schönen Melodie. Mein absolutes Lieblingslied❤
I adore Agnes since first hearing her several years on a random buy in Bruges. Just so unique, beautiful and atmospheric but a small part of me wonders if she ever breaks a sweat!
Internal intensity can make you sweat though.
She truly is the "ice Queen " wish she could be "my Queen " (lol) . but sigh "I pass the test"
Hey guys, the slowed version is on my channel✨
Listen to this song in a rainy gloomy morning, somehow, it makes life simple.
This song is mental therapy..
In the 90s as a teen, I was lost but i had fun! Proud to be a child of the 80s and teenager in the 90s. I feel sorry for youngsters growing up today. 🙏
Agnes, Anne and Mika are all very talented women at the very top of their musical careers. 100% Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!
Brava!
"The Curse"
And the people went into their hide, they oh
From the start they didn't know exactly why, why
Winter came and made it so all look alike, look alike
Underneath the grass would grow, aiming at the sky
It was swift, it was just, another wave of a miracle
But no one, nothing at all would go for the kill
If they called on every soul in the land on the move
Only then would they know a blessing in disguise
The curse ruled from the underground down by the shore
And their hope grew with a hunger to live unlike before
The curse ruled from the underground down by the shore
And their hope grew with a hunger to live unlike before
Tell me now of the very souls that look alike, look alike
Do you know the stranglehold covering their eyes?
If I call on every soul in the land on the move
Tell me if I'll ever know a blessing in disguise
The curse ruled from the underground down by the shore
And their hope grew with a hunger to live unlike before
And the curse ruled from the underground down by the shore
And their hope grew with a hunger to live unlike before

This video soothes my Mind.!!!
Thank you who ever and what ever is responsible for bringing me to this masterpiece right NOW when I needed some calm and peace in my corner. Agnes Obel.... Thank you for just being you.
I'm glad to be on the side of youtube that nourishes my soul.
What a stunning ensemble. Three super talented musicians in total sync. Obel's voice is stunning and therefore it's no surprise other great musicians want to work with her.
I don't know who needs to hear this today, but just Give GOD a little more time. Give HIM your worries, accept HIS peace & rest. He will carry you & make a way.Amen♥🕊💖💖🙏🙏
And the people went into their hide, ay-oh

This song, well, Agnes herself is just so...ethereal??? I just know I love it.
I can’t put into words how much I enjoyed this. Thank you to everyone involved
2024 and still carrys my heart away to a mysterious place
I love how they sing the chorus...
