    Mary Lyrics:
    Heaven hid her face as we fell down
    Age old habits echoed in the ground
    One would sing and one would hold me down
    They might listen if I make no sound
    Oh I know this
    From my high school heart
    That nothing is over
    From a touch it will begin
    Wide on the sky
    In my house the silence rang so loud
    Under doorways, through the hallway down
    Waiting for the secret to grow out
    Oh what we do when no one is around
    Oh I know this
    From my high school heart
    That nothing is over
    From a touch it will begin
    Wide on the sky
    In the dark I hear you sing
    Fingers move and chords they ring
    Be the witness of my shame
    Swaying in the summer rain
    Feathers falling from your wing
    In the dark I hear you sing
    #AgnesObel #CitizenOfGlass #Piano

    The album "Citizen of Glass" is an empathic journey that begins with a subtle presence gently absorbing ones essence, to cradle the spark of life at the core of ones being. The album holds the listener in a healing matrix well into the moments after the soft angelic tones of Agnes Obal’s voice slowly echoes into far off silence. I have the LP on repeat. The entire album is simply magical and pleases the senses like no other I have heard. An empathic experience not to be missed ~ World United Music - Favorite track: Mary.

      I wouldn't call Agnes' work underrated just because she's not mainstream. She's recognized by the right audience.

    I only discovered this angel named Agnes Obel barely over a week past... now, as soon as one of her songs plays from this mix (London Grammar - Rooting For You (Live)), I automatically click the 'thumb up'... There hasn't been a song that I would even advance past, and not a single one I would consider un-clicking the 'thumb up.' They are all magical and mesmerizing. By the way, if you haven't listened to London Grammar, give 'em an ear. They, too, I found less than two weeks ago. Very different over all than Agnes but very good listening.

      Yes very enjoyable and "Mary" came over very well ditto "The curse", Riverside etc.
      The gig reminded me of a London Grammar gig I Saw a few years ago :
      Quality songs sung beautifully (by Hannah Reid) and superb musicianship
      Well done to Agnes and "her girls"
      ps would have loved to have met her afterwards but it was too cold to hang around outside.

      @keithbate9405 7 років тому

      I was central front row circle.Only saw twp people with mobile phones. The audience was the oldest since I saw the Zombies around 10 years ago (no mobile phones that night)
      it was clear the gig was not sold out which is far more unusual these days. Live music seems to be more popular now than even 10+ years ago. Until relatively recently I always used to pay on the door. Wouldn't work nowadays !
      ps Agnes surprised me with her wry sense of humour and comments. Would have loved to have seen her a few years ago in the Hare and Hounds pub (said she had played twice at that venue and really liked it)
      pps Awful support (IMO) the last track seemed to last longer than war and peace (lol)

      Because many of those who gave her a "like" watch and listen to this over and over again

    Anyone else think a collaboration with Danny Elfman would be interesting?

    I get the inspiration of a forbidden love/relationship kind of vibe from this song personally. Perhaps it's a one sided relationship, maybe it's no strings attached, maybe they come from families that forbid them to be together because they're bad for each other or are believed to be bad. Maybe someone is having an affair, hence only meeting/keeping it in the dark where no one can see them. Maybe it's a taboo kind of relationship, something not accepted by modern society.
    When she sings about hearing them sing, I imagine she's talking about their voice speaking or moaning in the dark and the feathers from angel wings are their hair brushing against them. Idk.. It could be anything really. Either way it feels very solemn and sad, being guilt ridden. They sound very lonely.

    I wonder if this song is about THE Mary. The lyrics seem to give me that impression but they are not overt. That's the sign of truly brilliant music.

    Perfection! The fade out is reminiscent of the Sugar Man by Rodgriguez but in a completely different mood.
