Get in line. I'm one of the alones to my friend. So actually WE are not alone in our solitude. Hi I'm here talking to you through the wonder of technology. I see you>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Use your intentionality to attract more people like you, whatever it is you are into. Set intentions regularly about what type of friends you want to attract into your life. Be clear with your intentions, don't feel or think or act like a victim as it is disempowering and only sets you up for one reality, the one where your fears about being alone or not being good enough come true because that is what you're focusing on. You have the power to change your reality.
My husband, who passed to heaven 1 year ago, used to listen to this song almost every night on repeat to fall asleep, like lullaby. So listening to it now makes me cry, so many memories ❤
Lyrics: Down by the river by the boats Where everybody goes to be alone Where you won't see any rising sun Down to the river we will run When by the water we drink to the dregs Look at the stones on the river bed I can tell from your eyes You've never been by the riverside Down by the water the riverbed Somebody calls you somebody says Swim with the current and float away Down by the river everyday Oh my God I see how everything is torn in the river deep And I don't know why I go the way Down by the riverside When that old river runs past your eyes To wash off the dirt on the riverside Go to the water so very near The river will be your eyes and ears I walk to the borders on my own To fall in the water just like a stone Chilled to the marrow in them bones Why do I go here all alone Oh my God I see how everything is torn in the river deep And I don't know why I go the way Down by the riverside Oh my God I see how everything is torn in the river deep And I don't know why I go the way Down by the riverside Oh oh Ah ah ah Oh oh Ah ah ah Oh oh Ah ah ah Down by the riverside Down by the riverside
+Jack Sparrow 18m views, seems pretty popular to me when compared to the music i normally listen to (let's say they have around 1000-5000 views on average)
Birdy - people help the people Tom odell - another love John legend - all of me This songs have also a little bith the same style. Lovely to listen to when you are on your own when nobody disturbs you. Lovely/beautyfull songs😍😍
It was the song of my teenage depression years. I used to love playing it on my piano and sing along, it soothed me. Still brings tears to my eyes 15 years later.
I have a really special, amazing memory associated with this song, it’s the one song in my life that fills me with true melancholy. I don’t know if anyone will ever actually read this, but I think it’s quite a fun story for the love lovers out there. When I was 14, my mum and I went on holiday to Iceland. As soon as I saw the landscape from the plane I already felt like it was going to be a magical experience (I was also a 14 year old who romanticises EVERYTHING and 10 years later at 24 I am still the same lmfao). Anyway, we have a couple of excursions booked through our Hotel, one of them being driving out into the middle of nowhere to see the northern lights. So we are on the bus, I notice a cute blonde boy go past when I had already sat down, and then he sat one row from behind me, so we are pretty close in proximity on the bus. We stop a few times in different locations. On the first stop, he held up a bit of fencing for me and my mum to get through and there was a bit of elongated eye contact.. So 14 year old me is in love obviously, then we get back on the bus and we start playing footsie or whatever (this sounds so cringe but it was magical under all the stars and it being dark on the bus). At the second stop, my mum stays on the bus and I go out by myself. I’m staring at the stars (no northern lights but the stars alone were INSANE, no light pollution at all). All of a sudden I hear a hello, and then ALL of a sudden I have headphones being put on my head, and then this magical mantra starts playing… I stood there looking up at the stars and this song was on, I memorised the lyrics instantly and it was in my head the whole night afterwards.. We then spoke on the third stop and had a little holiday romance and now we just have eachother on Facebook hahahaha. I don’t know, but the moment was just so magical, and for this to be the song playing it just makes me think about how beautiful life can be and how special these moments really are.. And now I have what feels like a spiritual connection to this song !!
I think this is the chain of association. Your mind remembers things better if you attach multiple senses to it. You hear a song and remember something that happened long ago when you heard that song, or you eat / smell something and remember something else. For example I remember when I was little and we were waiting for my dad with my mum and dad worked late and a storm came and we were sitting in the car and the rain was falling. I remember the song that was playing on the radio even though this could have been like 25 years ago. Lucky for you to see the northern lights. I want to see them as well, on my bucket list. I can imagine this is a special song for you being attached to a special memory.
@@IaminToMiXing I have this with starry night (don mclean) , but not because the setting was so very pittoresque, just by the power of the song - it was very much banality itself where i heard it, but the stark contrast with those lyrics, the way he sings it (no sarcasm, irony, hyperselfawareness) it gets me everytime, and Im not one for sappy 70s songs
Down by the river by the boats Where everybody goes to be alone Where you won't see any rising sun Down to the river we will run When by the water we drink to the dregs Look at the stones on the river bed I can tell from your eyes You've never been by the riverside Down by the water the riverbed Somebody calls you somebody says Swim with the current and float away Down by the river everyday Oh my God I see how everything is torn in the river deep And I don't know why I go the way Down by the riverside When that old river runs pass your eyes To wash off the dirt on the riverside Go to the water so very near The river will be your eyes and ears I walk to the borders on my own To fall in the water just like a stone Chilled to the marrow in them bones Why do I go here all alone [x2:] Oh my God I see how everything is torn in the river deep And I don't know why I go the way Down by the riverside Oh oh, hey hey [x3] Down by the riverside [x2]
Heard this song on a local radio station in Denmark 4 years ago when I was there on vacation. This song is like a friendly ghost. It touched me and it`s been following me since.
I heard this song for the first time earlier today while watching an old episode of Revenge. Hearing it evoked some very powerful emotions in me, emotions I hadn't felt in years.I bought the song from itunes and went for a walk, listening to it on repeat. I don't know what it is about the song that hits me in such a powerful way. It's not even a genre I typically listen to. But now I can't get enough of it. I bought the rest of the album, and although I didn't know who she was yesterday, I now count myself as a huge Agnes Obel fan.
I've got the same ... this songs gives me the hard memorie of my father that died from cancer some years ago ... it hurts, but on the others side it gives my alot of trength
same learnt it from revenge then that was it looked it up online now I think about stuff while on long walks it just hits you straight to your mind and heart and only those moved understand
My very awesome reading teacher in 5th grade played this song for us and made us remember the lyrics to it so we could learn about poetry (this song has lots of poetry devices to it). I now visit this video every now and then to remember how great of a teacher he was. Poetry is now one of my favorite things to write because of the way he taught it to us.
I think we can say a teacher is great when what he teaches you becomesyour passion I also started writing poems because of an incredible teacher I had 6 years ago and today I'm out of depression thanks to poems (not only, but it was really important).
It's funny how someone can shape our interests! I had a history teacher that to this day has made a significant change in my life by introducing me to history (history was a history teacher) simply by his way of teaching and introducing us to the material! To this day I love history because of him!
Summer holidays during my schooling i used to spend 2 months in my granny's place. There was beautiful home in the countryside midst of tall rubber trees and river flowing downhill. I used to run along the plantation and to the riverside and throw pebbles into the water, swim in the river and spent so much time alone by myself. There are two emotions of the memory. one happy one of the time i used to spend there another sad, very sad one. after my grandparents died the place has lost the charm. Now when i go i sit by the riverside and think if i can time travel back to that time.
I've been listening Riverside since 2010 until now and I'll be continue listening it because it gives me peace, makes me cry either in a good or a painful way, I feel like I'm not alone in this world and I'm so grateful because all of this for Agnes Obel. She's my secret best friend even if it sounds weird, and she helped me so many times through the years and I'm so thankful and blessed. 🍃 (P.S.: sorry for my bad english and have a wonderful day everyone!)
Songs and art in general make this effect to those who have enough sensitivity. You defnitely are not alone and music is a way to remind and celebrate it.
You´re english is great, nothing to apologise for. I can relate to your description of how songs can make us feel and help us through tough times. Thank you for sharing that! And this is indeed a beautiful song, mesmerizing and deep, it conquers my defences and opens me up, peeling of those layers of hardened emotional walls that the smith of time has hammered into place around me. And then i plundge into the river by the riverside, never in more need of the enlightened guide. But in the land of blind i stumble on, pass by dear traveler or stay and mourn.
ive been living with anxiety disorder for a while and i always listen to this after i have a panic attack as a comforter, honestly love this song so much
Well maybe not everyone likes this song but we lovers of this song knows one thing: Whoever you are, whatever you decided, however your life is going doesn't matter. This song touches to your soul and we all share a common fealing. Alone or not. This song will always have a meaning in our hearts until the day we die
It's been soooo many years... I used to listen to this song and adored it... I was in my early twenties. Oh God... I was a different person... I honestly had no worries... I had many friends and I was excited about life... Nowadays parts of this song come in my mind and just the feelings that evoked make me happy... Today I decided to listen to it again from the begging to the end... I am now on my late twenties and I am battling to be happy... Scared of the world, no more friends around, an emptiness although back then I had the need to listen to it just like I do now...
Cette chanson est vraiment très apaisante, avec un léger arrière-goût de mélancolie et d'amour perdu. Très touchant, avec une voix pure et douce. Magnifique.
Presqu'entièrement d'accord, j'y ressens juste un peu moins d'apaisement, à mon avis dû au rythme un peu trop rapide pour un morceau de ce genre? N'importe: cette chanson est magnifique, sa douceur l'emporte, et accentue en même temps son caractère.
+Maiken Glavind even when u can't produce such a good music like this, you can and you should proud to be a danish :) you are a viking man :) greetings from Turkey :)
For years, I play this on repeat. Whenever my heart hurts I find solace in this song as it eloquently describes my soul. I am alone always and take comfort in my own strength of my life’s experiences and continue to do so. I see too much. Things no one else does. Not even my closest see what I see. I know no one like myself. INFJ traits.
I feel you, I'm always alone at all times 😔 always comforting myself when my heart hurts for such any particular problems. So sad, though, I'm not used to share my internal problems to someone coz I'm hating on it. Sounds weird but that's me. That's why I feel you a lot 😔
I was just introduced to this song yesterday in my American Sign Language course at the college... it was performed brilliantly by my classmate, and the song, they both gave me goosebumps. I could not wait to get home to download the album from iTunes, which I did just now. I am listening to it now, completely soaking in every beautiful note of it...
This song resonates with me so much. From my childhood to all the hardships I’ve been through. When I feel like I can’t go on, I listen to this song and feel understood; chillingly beautiful❤
lyrics : Down by the river by the boat Where everybody goes to be alone Where you won't see any rising sun Down to the river we will run When by the water we drink to the dregs Look at the stones on the river bed I can tell from your eyes You've never been by the riverside Down by the water the riverbed Somebody calls you somebody says Swim with the current and float away Down by the river everyday Oh my God I see how everything is torn in the river deep And I don't know why I go the way Down by the riverside When that old river runs pass your eyes To wash off the dirt on the riverside Go to the water so very near The river will be your eyes and ears I walk to the borders on my own To fall in the water just like a stone Chilled to the marrow in them bones Why do I go here all alone Oh my God I see how everything is torn in the river deep And I don't know why I go the way Down by the riverside
It's 2022 now. This song is floating my heart and my mind with love. I'm not alone. There is you and millions of people going there way down by the riverside all over the world ❤️
One of my favorite songs, everytime i listen to it, it makes me cry, why .... ? Because the girl i loved and always loved sent me this song. claiming that it was one of her fav's. 1 week after she fell in love in my best friend and blocked me everywhere without any notice. Breathtaking song, brings so much memmories, too bad they are not that good ones, so i can't listen to this amazing song that often
Roger Zero I do the same thing for the same reason! Something about her music that seems to slow time; her sound is so transcendental, I think she's actually a siren haha
Awh man i feel for you but it is about the music. There so many beautiful things in the world you can relate to with this song and fall in love all over again.
Sadly i can't relate nothing good with this song (because memories and stuff), but this song is so freaking good, i just can't not listen to it, and cry like a little girl because of the bad things happened to me.
Walk to the boarders on my own, fall in the water just like a stone, chill to the narrow in them bones, why do I go here all alone. This part always gets to me for some reason
Офигенная манера исполнения... такая расскачивающая, плавная и в тоже время загадочная, чарующая....много песен просто супер у исполнительницы, что редкость)
I just discovered Agnes Obel and am facscinated by this artist. Her voice is delicate, subtle. The instruments also contribute to this subtlety to form a perfect "whole". I just love it.
A few days ago, this song was requested on the Belgian radio station named 'Studio Brussel'. There was a beautiful story behind it; a family that liked to go to some sort of 'vacation park', for children who are very ill. Special care was available all the time. Their little daughter chose that place to die. Despite the undescribable loss and grief, the parents were happy she chose to die at such a beautiful, happy place, where they had such nice memories together. Now everytime I play this song, I think of that girl and her family. Just wanted to share this :-). Good night everyone.
@@orangegirl247 its metaphorical, see the river as the flow of live. It's about feelings and psychological stuff. If you can't see it, there is no way of explaining.
My grandparents on my mom side had some danish in them and finally settle in Canada . They past away before I ever came on the scene. Just hearing this song makes me feel connected to generations lost! Skol
Down by the river by the boats Where everybody goes to be alone Where you won't see any rising sun Down to the river we will run When by the water we drink to the dregs Look at the stones on the river bed I can tell from your eyes You've never been by the riverside Down by the water the riverbed Somebody calls you somebody says Swim with the current and float away Down by the river everyday Oh my God I see how everything is torn in the river deep And I don't know why I go the way Down by the riverside When that old river runs pass your eyes To wash off the dirt on the riverside Go to the water so very near The river will be your eyes and ears I walk to the borders on my own To fall in the water just like a stone Chilled to the marrow in them bones Why do I go here all alone Oh my God I see how everything is torn in the river deep And I don't know why I go the way Down by the riverside
My dad used to play this for me in the car when I was kid. I loved it, but I forgot the name. Years passed and I’ve been searching for it everywhere, now I’ve finally found it. This is a stunning and beautiful song.
The most insightful and emotional moments of my life sprung to existence after taking psychedelics and listening to agnes obel. Beutiful person with high intelligence applied to her music.
Music is supposed to !... Gives you the Chills ...Gives you Nostalgia ... Gives you Prophecy ... Makes you Cry ...Set you Free ..... Dance to its rhythms
A very good memory on the one hand through the discovery of the musical universe of Agnès Obel in december 2010 and on the other hand, listening to this magnificent album, in January 2011, while walking under snowflakes in an immaculate countryside.
This song resonates in a way that most others don't. Easily one of my most favorite songs, which is highly unusual, considering how far off this is from my normal preferred genres. Thank you.
Io adesso adesso. Serie "io ti cercherò" È proprio vero che la musica ha miliardi di fantastiche sfaccettature. Mi stupisco ogni volta che trovo un brano, per me, nuovo....
When I was 14 I had a long distance relationship with a girl from over the pond in the US, she loved this song and said it reminded her of me, loved this artist ever since. Fun fact: She actually came to London 8 years after and we spent 3 days together for this first time and it wasn't great. Sometimes things are just better left as a mystery
It's 2020 and i'm still here, still all alone. Happy new year to me.
Happy new year stay positive I hope you have a great year❤
Happy new year ❤️
Get in line. I'm one of the alones to my friend. So actually WE are not alone in our solitude. Hi I'm here talking to you through the wonder of technology. I see you>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Use your intentionality to attract more people like you, whatever it is you are into. Set intentions regularly about what type of friends you want to attract into your life. Be clear with your intentions, don't feel or think or act like a victim as it is disempowering and only sets you up for one reality, the one where your fears about being alone or not being good enough come true because that is what you're focusing on.

Wow I do the same every night 😢
Sorry for your loss
Lyrics:
Down by the river by the boats
Where everybody goes to be alone
Where you won't see any rising sun
Down to the river we will run
When by the water we drink to the dregs
Look at the stones on the river bed
I can tell from your eyes
You've never been by the riverside
Down by the water the riverbed
Somebody calls you somebody says
Swim with the current and float away
Down by the river everyday
Oh my God I see how everything is torn in the river deep
And I don't know why I go the way
Down by the riverside
When that old river runs past your eyes
To wash off the dirt on the riverside
Go to the water so very near
The river will be your eyes and ears
I walk to the borders on my own
To fall in the water just like a stone
Chilled to the marrow in them bones
Why do I go here all alone
Oh my God I see how everything is torn in the river deep
And I don't know why I go the way
Down by the riverside
Oh my God I see how everything is torn in the river deep
And I don't know why I go the way
Down by the riverside
Oh oh
Ah ah ah
Oh oh
Ah ah ah
Oh oh
Ah ah ah
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
something like Vikings do or had done
Thank you 👍👋
Thank you 😊

Heard this song on a local radio station in Denmark 4 years ago when I was there on vacation. This song is like a friendly ghost. It touched me and it`s been following me since.
I heard it in the danish radio some days ago! I really liked it!
I heard this song for the first time earlier today while watching an old episode of Revenge. Hearing it evoked some very powerful emotions in me, emotions I hadn't felt in years.I bought the song from itunes and went for a walk, listening to it on repeat.

which episode was it?
Jawwad Mustafa Season one, episode 4. At the very end.
I've got the same ... this songs gives me the hard memorie of my father that died from cancer some years ago ... it hurts, but on the others side it gives my alot of trength
+Greg Rowe That's so much me..
same learnt it from revenge then that was it looked it up online now I think about stuff while on long walks it just hits you straight to your mind and heart and only those moved understand
Imagine suddenly humming this song and looking for it again 10 years later :) Such great music

There are two emotions of the memory.
one happy one of the time i used to spend there
another sad, very sad one. after my grandparents died the place has lost the charm. Now when i go i sit by the riverside and think if i can time travel back to that time.
I recently found this song, and I'm speechless. I don't understand how somebody can do something so beautiful. I love this!!
Yeah agreed. You should listen to Familiar, in which she plays every instrument within it, It's a masterpiece.
Listen to the song without the video. Then you might understand what the song is actually saying
I've been listening Riverside since 2010 until now and I'll be continue listening it because it gives me peace, makes me cry either in a good or a painful way, I feel like I'm not alone in this world and I'm so grateful because all of this for Agnes Obel.

(Sinto o mesmo com essa música )
I really enjoy this song to hear but I'm from Germany and I can't understand it
What is it about?
Even the translation didn't help me...
This song is like a cool hug to your soul after a long hot summers day.
ive been living with anxiety disorder for a while and i always listen to this after i have a panic attack as a comforter, honestly love this song so much
Oh, my God this song is so beautiful and so nostalgic ...
Well maybe not everyone likes this song but we lovers of this song knows one thing:
Whoever you are, whatever you decided, however your life is going doesn't matter. This song touches to your soul and we all share a common fealing. Alone or not. This song will always have a meaning in our hearts until the day we die
People who don't like this probably haven't been been to the Riverside.
I finally found an artist who speaks the same music my soul longs for
It's been soooo many years... I used to listen to this song and adored it... I was in my early twenties. Oh God... I was a different person... I honestly had no worries... I had many friends and I was excited about life... Nowadays parts of this song come in my mind and just the feelings that evoked make me happy... Today I decided to listen to it again from the begging to the end... I am now on my late twenties and I am battling to be happy... Scared of the world, no more friends around, an emptiness although back then I had the need to listen to it just like I do now...
i feel you bro
Cette chanson est vraiment très apaisante, avec un léger arrière-goût de mélancolie et d'amour perdu. Très touchant, avec une voix pure et douce. Magnifique.
Rien à redire , c'est exactement le même ressenti que j'ai ;)
Presqu'entièrement d'accord, j'y ressens juste un peu moins d'apaisement, à mon avis dû au rythme un peu trop rapide pour un morceau de ce genre?
N'importe: cette chanson est magnifique, sa douceur l'emporte, et accentue en même temps son caractère.
J'approuve..
This is one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard.
She knows how to wrap enchantments around a soul.❤️
So relaxing. I love to listen this song when the weather is rainy
Incredible song, can't stop listening.
Have you been able to stop after 10 years? lol
Proud to be Danish, when we can produce music like this ❤️
+Maiken Glavind She's the best you have and you should treasure her as well as spread the word.
One of the greatest alive today IMO
+Maiken Glavind Couldn't agree more! Hep hep Danmark! :D
+Maiken Glavind even when u can't produce such a good music like this, you can and you should proud to be a danish :) you are a viking man :) greetings from Turkey :)
+Present Moment i agree
+Present Moment Read that again please. He said small, not smart...
If I had the opportunity to listen to a single last song in my life, this would be the one. Thank you Agnes for your art!
Thanks to the series "The Rain" who introduced me this lovely song. Missing such good songs in my life.
The rain.. too..
It was the mist for me
@@shannonleite3621 it was in mist? I missed it then lol.
Puja Agarwal yep it was in like episode 4 I think 😂
@@shannonleite3621 oh okay haha. Great series too. If only there was a 2nd season.
For years, I play this on repeat. Whenever my heart hurts I find solace in this song as it eloquently describes my soul. I am alone always and take comfort in my own strength of my life’s experiences and continue to do so. I see too much. Things no one else does. Not even my closest see what I see. I know no one like myself. INFJ traits.
I feel you, I'm always alone at all times 😔 always comforting myself when my heart hurts for such any particular problems. So sad, though, I'm not used to share my internal problems to someone coz I'm hating on it. Sounds weird but that's me. That's why I feel you a lot 😔
I was just introduced to this song yesterday in my American Sign Language course at the college... it was performed brilliantly by my classmate, and the song, they both gave me goosebumps. I could not wait to get home to download the album from iTunes, which I did just now. I am listening to it now, completely soaking in every beautiful note of it...
This song resonates with me so much. From my childhood to all the hardships I’ve been through. When I feel like I can’t go on, I listen to this song and feel understood; chillingly beautiful❤
lyrics :
Down by the river by the boat
Where everybody goes to be alone
Where you won't see any rising sun
Down to the river we will run
When by the water we drink to the dregs
Look at the stones on the river bed
I can tell from your eyes
You've never been by the riverside
Down by the water the riverbed
Somebody calls you somebody says
Swim with the current and float away
Down by the river everyday
Oh my God I see how everything is torn in the river deep
And I don't know why I go the way
Down by the riverside
When that old river runs pass your eyes
To wash off the dirt on the riverside
Go to the water so very near
The river will be your eyes and ears
I walk to the borders on my own
To fall in the water just like a stone
Chilled to the marrow in them bones
Why do I go here all alone
Oh my God I see how everything is torn in the river deep
And I don't know why I go the way
Down by the riverside
I've been looking for this song for years.......damn it....u know how I felt when I found it!!!!!!!!!! ughhhhhhh so great!!! Such a beautiful song!
rotation sur scene
+fany nina huh??
It's 2022 now. This song is floating my heart and my mind with love. I'm not alone. There is you and millions of people going there way down by the riverside all over the world ❤️
This song has a great beat. I am enjoying this song and the melody is good. Also, I love the lyrics.
Such a perfection of a melody and voice, rythm and tone
My amazing taste in music brought me here! And of course her spectacular songs.
A very hypnotic song and beautifully done.
I love this! Agnes puts her soul into this! One of my favorite songs ever!!!
One of my favorite songs, everytime i listen to it, it makes me cry, why .... ? Because the girl i loved and always loved sent me this song. claiming that it was one of her fav's. 1 week after she fell in love in my best friend and blocked me everywhere without any notice. Breathtaking song, brings so much memmories, too bad they are not that good ones, so i can't listen to this amazing song that often
Roger Zero That's good for you, i wish you a happy life
Roger Zero I do the same thing for the same reason! Something about her music that seems to slow time; her sound is so transcendental, I think she's actually a siren haha
:D most likely
Awh man i feel for you but it is about the music. There so many beautiful things in the world you can relate to with this song and fall in love all over again.
Sadly i can't relate nothing good with this song (because memories and stuff), but this song is so freaking good, i just can't not listen to it, and cry like a little girl because of the bad things happened to me.
Walk to the boarders on my own, fall in the water just like a stone, chill to the narrow in them bones, why do I go here all alone. This part always gets to me for some reason
Офигенная манера исполнения... такая расскачивающая, плавная и в тоже время загадочная, чарующая....много песен просто супер у исполнительницы, что редкость)
I just discovered Agnes Obel and am facscinated by this artist. Her voice is delicate, subtle. The instruments also contribute to this subtlety to form a perfect "whole". I just love it.
Her music reminds me of my childhood favourite movies like The Secret Garden, Black Beauty, A Little Princess, etc..
A few days ago, this song was requested on the Belgian radio station named 'Studio Brussel'. There was a beautiful story behind it; a family that liked to go to some sort of 'vacation park', for children who are very ill. Special care was available all the time. Their little daughter chose that place to die. Despite the undescribable loss and grief, the parents were happy she chose to die at such a beautiful, happy place, where they had such nice memories together. Now everytime I play this song, I think of that girl and her family. Just wanted to share this :-). Good night everyone.
Troll or true?
been replaying this the whole day, so glad i caught this from revenge!
me too!
Me too lol👌
Me too :)
same lol
omg! me too :)
Vocals are brilliant as are the lyrics. It has such deep meaning once you understand what's being told.
What is being told?
@@orangegirl247 its metaphorical, see the river as the flow of live. It's about feelings and psychological stuff. If you can't see it, there is no way of explaining.
@@JoJoTheYuMan clearly you don't see it because you can't explain it lol
@@armandpretorius3378 I like to see you try explaining feelings 😀
@@armandpretorius3378rude
It's 2021 and i'm still here, still all alone. Happy new year to me.
Me too, Sending you love and hugs through the ether.
try something more original next year please
@@RRD6 What like, tap dancing?
Happy New year to me too.
In hope you are having a great year :)
We sung this in our school choir 5 years ago. I didn't really understand English back then. Just found it, remembered the sound, now I love it again.
Dark and Agnes Obel are perfect for each other Never believe anything else❣️
My grandparents on my mom side had some danish in them and finally settle in Canada . They past away before I ever came on the scene. Just hearing this song makes me feel connected to generations lost! Skol
Skål 😄
skål
Beautiful theme, harmony and beauty for a charming voice
It’s 2023, and I’m still here, all alone. Happy new year.
Down by the river by the boats
Where everybody goes to be alone
Where you won't see any rising sun
Down to the river we will run
When by the water we drink to the dregs
Look at the stones on the river bed
I can tell from your eyes
You've never been by the riverside
Down by the water the riverbed
Somebody calls you somebody says
Swim with the current and float away
Down by the river everyday
Oh my God I see how everything is torn in the river deep
And I don't know why I go the way
Down by the riverside
When that old river runs pass your eyes
To wash off the dirt on the riverside
Go to the water so very near
The river will be your eyes and ears
I walk to the borders on my own
To fall in the water just like a stone
Chilled to the marrow in them bones
Why do I go here all alone
Oh my God I see how everything is torn in the river deep
And I don't know why I go the way
Down by the riverside

Nothing brought me here, I came by myself.
Ahahahagshah proud of yourself
Finally someone who isn't here because of a stipud tv series
same
Hack Delight brought me here
TH-cam comments are great sometimes. :) Thanks !
I died in a dream, and this song started to play, curiously I felt so calm and peaceful even though I was dead.
Mariela Salinas that’s a bit strange, as something similar happened to me, but it was someone else who died.
Durv 2 I’ve died in a dream before. It is possible.
"The Rain" brought me here ❤
tinytina the rain AND the mist brought me. I freaked out😂😂😂
Same I so need season 2
Yea mist brought me here too
😍🤤
Yup where 2 people are having sex on a chair in the rain 😂😅
This is the type of sootheing pain i yearn for. I absolutely love Agnes Obel and her music, its fantastic!
still my favourite song after all these years !
Fuel to fire 🔛🔝
well, am I the only one who brought myself here? Like just for good music?
You got the idea to come here from somebody else aswell. Even If it where the videos recommended for you . :D
+Merle Twinny nahhh I force myself to listen to different music that I think I usually wouldn't like. That's how I got to this song
Zen Ann Okay, good system, I guess. Maybe I should do that more often aswell.
Me too :)
I found this by accident while looking for other song, not sure if that counts 😋
every once in a while you discover a musical pearl :-)
Absolutely love this.
My dad used to play this for me in the car when I was kid. I loved it, but I forgot the name. Years passed and I’ve been searching for it everywhere, now I’ve finally found it. This is a stunning and beautiful song.
Le coeur sur une plaque allumée j'ecoute Agnès Obel... 🖖🏾
Modif: Whoaw je reviens 2 ans apres merci pour les likes et les commentaires !
Mdrr moi aussi c grace a damso que je suis la
Dems

Nicolas aka NerVo go profiter de sa beautiful day
This song is hauntingly beautiful. I absolutely love it!
The most insightful and emotional moments of my life sprung to existence after taking psychedelics and listening to agnes obel. Beutiful person with high intelligence applied to her music.
Thanks to Dark Netflix for bringing me to Agnes
Same ❤️🥰
The Mist, Netflix....
Me too such a haunting song
Same
The rain, netflix
Que musica maravilhosa....
Melancolia pura!
Brasil respira musica boa!
This song is something that feels like more than a song, if that makes sense. Like a journey or a life story
A mix of sadness & hope. Very beautiful and peaceful sound.
Nearly 10 years old, wow. Time has flown.
Yess
For some reason this song made me cry...
You are FAR from the only one.
It's a hauntingly beautiful song.
Music is supposed to !... Gives you the Chills ...Gives you Nostalgia ... Gives you Prophecy ... Makes you Cry ...Set you Free ..... Dance to its rhythms
9 Years later I’m still crying in the same spot we used to meet
We never forget the ones we care so much about.
Kinana Alassmi it’s all about the other people in this world .
A very good memory on the one hand through the discovery of the musical universe of Agnès Obel in december 2010 and on the other hand, listening to this magnificent album, in January 2011, while walking under snowflakes in an immaculate countryside.
so beautiful
Who used to listen to this song thanks to the tv serie Revenge. At any times I heard this watching Revenge, I cried. What a beautiful song!
Wonderful, chilling and beautiful!
bravo za dober okus :)
I came from riverdale, I actually am amazed by the way this song have touched me (sorry for the bad English I am from France).
"Pain doesnt go away we just learn to live with it..."
💯
Thank you Agnes!
You are magnificient musician/singer! I'm really enjoy your music!
This song resonates in a way that most others don't. Easily one of my most favorite songs, which is highly unusual, considering how far off this is from my normal preferred genres. Thank you.
offff that pure voice got me always
L'ho sentita la prima volta nel telefilm con A. Gassman, ed è molto bella!
@Brawlgamer71 Quale ? Cosa?
Se quale telefilm è "Io ti cercherò".
@Brawlgamer71 ...grazie a te !
Io adesso adesso. Serie "io ti cercherò"
È proprio vero che la musica ha miliardi di fantastiche sfaccettature. Mi stupisco ogni volta che trovo un brano, per me, nuovo....
Stupenda...
Whenever i listen to her songs... It feels like i am actually travelling through space and time.
The Rain
The Mist
Grey's Anatomy ♡♡
Same
Also “Revenge”
and damso
Also every other good series 😂
Offspring
Ghostly, warm and enchanting at the same time. A masterpiece.
When I was 14 I had a long distance relationship with a girl from over the pond in the US, she loved this song and said it reminded her of me, loved this artist ever since.
Fun fact: She actually came to London 8 years after and we spent 3 days together for this first time and it wasn't great. Sometimes things are just better left as a mystery
