She was born in Gentofte, a district of Copenhagen, Denmark. She currently lives & writes (mostly at night in her own private studio) in Berlin. This is my favourite live version of this song, that she has done & alongside ‘Familiar’ is also my favourite track she has ever done.
This song helped me through the surreal time during COVID. COVID was the curse and then; “they’re hope grew with a hunger to live unlike before” assured me we would get stronger in ways we would have not done otherwise.
Thank for this! Agnes is one of my favourite artists the past few years. Since you asked, she pronounces her name “Ow-ness”. I’ve also heard it pronounced “An-yes”.
@@firstact5704 Interesting you say it would be good in horror movies, the reason she have so many hits on you tube is they used her song, Riverside in a TV show, think called Black Rain. Agnes, Agnethe, Agneta and Agnetha. Different versions of the same name.
I think etherial is the word he is looking for. Also in combination with "Familar," I think "The Curse" are 'songs' plumbing deeper the questions inherent in Stevie Nicks' "Landslide." To me this work is a musical lament on the vibe the expressionist art of fellow Scandinavian artists like Edvard Munch (The Scream). My guess is she is exploring the emotions of missing the opportunity to have a family due to pursuit of career or just drawing the short straw. Super like this talented lady and the talented people she attracts.
The Curse is a favorite of mine. Agnes is a recommendation of Avi Kaplan's he has several of her songs on his "Currently listening" Spotify Playlist. "Camera Rolling" and "Aventine" are a couple I have really enjoyed from that list as well.
Daniel Ellsworth just put his first solo E P. out "I Have". He has been in music for a very long time and does have co-writer credit with Avi Kaplan on both of Avi's "I'll Get By" and "Sweet Adeline pt 2" Daniel's work is not in the same genre as what he did with Avi.
everything agnes obel did so far is excellent. she has this laid back, sophisticated elegance, combined with her lovely voice and sinister lyrics. i think her music is featured in the netflix series "dark". the emptiness and sadness you are talking about can only be cured by more agnes obel music. familiar ua-cam.com/video/orOt2fXNbq8/v-deo.html it's happening again ua-cam.com/video/1zED62IYPe4/v-deo.html&start_radio=1&rv=orOt2fXNbq8 for more nordic music, i can highly reccomend susanne sundfor, "when the lord". this song is just so...heartbraking. or "undercover". she is norwegian and to make it short: absolutely wonderful. ua-cam.com/video/1oWFCkcdmZI/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/A-uRyOu4YV4/v-deo.html&start_radio=1 and speaking about norway, of course, aurora, "it happened quiet" live at the current ua-cam.com/video/9U-N6LqzdIM/v-deo.html or this legendary david bowie cover, life on mars ua-cam.com/video/kJ095S0MmnA/v-deo.html two things more: 1) nice beard 2) the akg-headphones are not that good, i used to use the same until i bought some over ears from a danish company and eversince never wanted to use the akg again
@@firstact5704 you are welcome. i'm very satisfied with my aiaiai tma-2 hd wireless. and if you listen to "when the lord" let me know what you think about. listen first to the song, then read the description and the context under the video. it's going to be a deep emotional journey
Riverside is my favorite song by Agnes! Thank you for reacting to her.

All of her music is astoundingly beautiful!!
I recommend with all my heart her song "Dorian" 👌🧡
Thanks Livu. Will check it out 😊

I'll definitely be doing more of her songs, I thought she was fantastic!
Brilliant danish artist

I am thinking of Teardrop by Massive Attack for some reason.
ANES O'BELL would be the pronunciation...I love her...check out Broken Sleep
