In France we say "The true tradition is not to do what we did. But to find this spirit, which did these things and which would do others, in other times." Paul Valéry. you have found this spirit, thank you.
I played this song for my friend’s 5 year old daughter, and afterwards the daugther asked me to replay “the beautiful, wonderfull music”. Then she started to dance, just waving her arms and turning calmly around with closed eyes ❤️
Based on the filming, one would think there were only two important musicians in this performance. Can we get some love for the Cello player, Anne Müller? An absolutely beautiful performance by three talented people!
Agnes Obel: ‘Dorian’ is about the inter-relational thing between two people, that you can’t put words on but you know is there. And when you reach the point of no return, and you are sort of swaying, or are suspended, into this weird space of nothingness, and you are still longing for all the good stuff that you had before. ‘Dorian’ is sort of my construction of that state of mind. Nobody outside this bubble of these two people can see it, so it looks really pretty and great but then if you step into this ring, you see that it’s all sort of falling apart and rotting. I felt like Dorian was such a beautiful name and… for me, I like to make out my own meaning for a word, imply my own stories to words or names, so in the back of my mind, of course, I knew about Dorian Gray but it was not deliberate or about that character. I am sure it coloured it but it wasn’t about it.
It could just as easily be about metaphysics, about the story of humanity. How when the devil spoke we all spilled out on the floor, f.i. Maybe Agnes is clairvoyant or has such insights?
Ten years have gone by, and I still remember the day this song came out. I can recall the exact feelings it stirred up the first time I listened to it. Even though those initial emotions have changed, there's something about it that always brings out new feelings I can't quite explain. The part where she says "Dorian" still gets me every time. I don't know what's so special about this song, but after a decade, I'm still not tired of it. My MP3 player has played it thousands of times already. I've always thought I could recognize special people, but I never felt like I was one of them. I've been ignored and denied so many times in my life. There were tough moments when the only thing I had was music. I just wish I could have a life and people around me like this song, something that's always been there for me.
3:54 i do believe i know what you mean. Music and the sense of smell are supposed to be the best ways for memories to come flooding back. A. O. Is one of those people that also helps to bring them back.😢😊😮❤
how does it feel to look in the mirror and say... "that's me... I did that... I'm freakin amazing!! and i'm give so many smiles to the world"... and makng the world a great place! thank you
Plenty of great music around eg LP, Low, The National, London Grammar, First Aid Kit, Bat for Lashes , The Kills, Daughter etc etc "amethyst" by Low has the same vibe as this track
"Dorian" They won't know who we are So we both can pretend It's written on the mountains A line that never ends As the devil spoke we spilled out on the floor And the pieces broke and the people wanted more And the rugged wheel is turning another round Dorian, carrion, Will you come along to the end Will you ever let us carry on Swaying like the children, Singled out for praise The inside out on the open With the straightest face As the sad-eyed woman spoke we missed our chance, The final dying joke caught in our hands And the rugged wheel is turning another round Dorian, carrion, Will you come along to the end Will you ever let us carry on Dorian, carrion, Will you come along to the end Will you ever let us carry on Dorian, will you follow us down
@@quand_meme Im not even haha, I can go out without meeting people. I just like the ability to walk around rather than being at home... but i have this blasting at home and makes me chill
These session pieces are sublimely beautiful and Agnes as ever is simply hypnotic, but Anne and Mika are simply stunning and are the perfect complement to Agnes' sparse piano and vocal. Cannot praise them enough - these three were born to play together
I haven't been this over-joyed by a music discovery since I discovered the War on Drugs. Why did I just hear Ms. Obel today for the first time? INCREDIBLE talent...
I won't say much because whatever I say, won't do just to your voice and talent. It is rare when I come out of the shadows for something as I always wait for end but a one of light I now follow till my existence fades away.
these ladies took me out of my boring little room and into an old library with a grand piano watching a sunset and listening to the forest near me. Lovely holiday.
3 things. this is magnificent. i can't believe those lights are quiet enough to be in that room. your music just put my dog to sleep during a thunderstorm. thank you.
I recenlty found out Agnes Obel music and I couldn´t be more surprised to find my three favorites musical instruments: piano, violin and cello in one single source of fine harmonics. Lyrics and voice are great complements.
Découverte en cette période de confinement, je me régale à l'écouter, cette voix cette musique et ce son qui nous font gracieusement flotter.... comme sur un air de liberté que nous avons tous hâte de retrouver.......
I've been listening Agnes Obel for years, and i really like this song. When i reading "The Picture of Dorian Gray" suddenly this song came to my mind. I don't know if there are any relations between them. But still this song takes me away for a while every time i listen.
L'introduction est magnifique. Suis je la seule à ressentir un trop plein d'émotions qui m'empêcherait presque d'écouter jusqu'à la fin de peur d'être trop submerger par les émotions? les vibrations, la mélodie, la puissance des cordes melée à la douceur du piano, le texte, les voix...tout est fait pour nous faire trembler d'émotions.
Wonderfull song/ amazing/ inkredible & intemporel song .... You are special and different, Continue, love it.... I can hear it everytime, morning/ day/ night...🖤
We all strive for a better life, better circumstances,, and maybe even a second chance .... you just have to realize your imperfections are what makes you already perfect and that second chance...... is just realizing your strong enough yourself to control your outcome let alone finding what is you destiny in this world we walk on for a short period of time till our time genuinely expires .. what legacy will you leave behind? Who will you touch spiritually and help through there tough times? And will your heart ever find true piece..???
Been listening to a lot of melody Gardot a lot again recently. This artist was suggested. Happy about that. Been needing real human music more than ever recently.
Since I first heard this song, it got right under my skin.. somehow in just one moment it become my all time favorite.. It's like I've been waiting for something that will touch me so very deep.. and I have finally found it.
I am in awe about the beauty of it all. Not a single note was played to harsh nor to soft nor unnecessarily. Perfect song writing, perfect performance. And the way your voices harmonize belongs to the best things my ears have ever heard.
Your voice is so hauntingly beautiful. The harmony between strings and piano is soooo fantastic. Thank you for posting this beautiful art here for me to find.
Oh Boy this eye glance and this smile at 5:25!!! Loo like she'd finally touched the ground looking at her musicians.....Incredibly emotional, for me at last...... "As the sad-eyed woman spoke we missed our chance The final dying joke caught in our hands"........
the smile at the end of this video...."yes, we did it! This is wat we intended it to be!" That makes this video complete! Wonderfull, wonderfull music!
I had the good fortune of seeing her live in San Francisco at the Independent before 2020 and she was amazing. Whole set was magical and ethereal. She brought great cello players with her. I had the most incredibly vivid dreams all night afterwards. Have never had that experience before and I’d worked concerts for years.
This song helped me to find/ get a piece of me back, that I feel like losing again and again ... it's one of my most important, but also most vulnerable parts ... and I will always try to get it back again and again. We both need each other ... Goosebumps and tears from first time listening to this ...
They won't know who we are So we both can pretend It's written on the mountains A line that never ends As the devil spoke we spilled out on the floor And the pieces broke and the people wanted more And the rugged wheel is turning another round Dorian, carrion, Will you come along to the end Will you ever let us carry on Swaying like the children, Singled out for praise The inside out on the open With the straightest face As the sad-eyed woman spoke we missed our chance, The final dying joke caught in our hands And the rugged wheel is turning another round Dorian, carrion, Will you come along to the end Will you ever let us carry on Dorian, carrion, Will you come along to the end Will you ever let us carry on Dorian, will you follow us down
easily one of the best female artists in the world
In France we say "The true tradition is not to do what we did. But to find this spirit, which did these things and which would do others, in other times." Paul Valéry.
you have found this spirit, thank you.
No you say ShitLong.
Beautiful!
Dark introduced me to Agnes and I'm forever grateful. Absolutely beautiful, ethereal music.
Me too, now i like all songs of Agnes Obel.
Yeah. Same here.
Me tooooo!
If you like Agnes, check out Soley. Another similar kind of artist.
YES, thanks to the series Dark, I too came to hear of Agnes! I'm a fan!

So beautiful 🦋
free spirit allowed the space..to show its beauty in all her grace
magic... all musicians are magicians... thank you for sharing that beatiful memorie... it will endure until the end... you are very blessed...
She feld it.
That’s adorable, my younger sister is terrified of her music

Indeed
Agnes' music is one of the most precious gifts ever given us.

Beautifully said
Have you read the picture of Dorian Gray? If not do so. It's very beautiful.
Nice words and really true...
It could just as easily be about metaphysics, about the story of humanity. How when the devil spoke we all spilled out on the floor, f.i. Maybe Agnes is clairvoyant or has such insights?
i love her voice so much man, i've legit never heard anything this like this before

This song is so extremely beautiful, especially this version. I always come back to this one for the last part of the song. 4:32 - 5:22
Timeless indeed
how does it feel to look in the mirror and say... "that's me... I did that... I'm freakin amazing!! and i'm give so many smiles to the world"... and makng the world a great place! thank you
Chills. Chills at the depth of sound coming out of this room with only 3 women in it. True beauty.
Sheer perfection of performance, real artistry x
@@zito8284 You wouldn't see or hear anything if cameraman wasn't the man.
free nostalgia ticket 😉
When it captures you, that's when you know you have found true beauty, true art.
This song is hauntingly beautiful. I get goosebumps every time. It's such a relief to find that there's good music in the world still.
A relief indeed.
but how can something be haunting and beautiful at the same time.
Plenty of great music around eg LP, Low, The National, London Grammar, First Aid Kit, Bat for Lashes , The Kills, Daughter etc etc
"amethyst" by Low has the same vibe as this track
@@keithbate9405 yeh London grammar has a different but similar vibe.
Agnes is an underrated artist, she got pure talent.
who is underrating her? have you read the comments?
"Dorian"
They won't know who we are
So we both can pretend
It's written on the mountains
A line that never ends
As the devil spoke we spilled out on the floor
And the pieces broke and the people wanted more
And the rugged wheel is turning another round
Dorian, carrion,
Will you come along to the end
Will you ever let us carry on
Swaying like the children,
Singled out for praise
The inside out on the open
With the straightest face
As the sad-eyed woman spoke we missed our chance,
The final dying joke caught in our hands
And the rugged wheel is turning another round
Dorian, carrion,
Will you come along to the end
Will you ever let us carry on
Dorian, carrion,
Will you come along to the end
Will you ever let us carry on
Dorian, will you follow us down
χλόη/vana Thanks for all the lyrics !

I love It ❤️❤️ she got a mageatos voice
Starcrossed brought me here in 2014 and it just brought me back in 2024. 🥰
Das ist überirdisch schön
Anges, your soul is too deep for the physical realm. You are a goddess, a messenger and a poet.
I remember hearing this on 6 music with my then 3 week old and him just lying there so still and wide eyed while it played. He's 11 tomorrow!
I can't help being moved and shivering when she says "Dorian"
Dorian, if you see this, reminder that you're awesome and one of the best people i've ever met
Who is Dorian?
@@cluelessbeekeeping1322 Dorian is who
My name is Dorian ! and thanks you i love this song too much
I haven't been this over-joyed by a music discovery since I discovered the War on Drugs. Why did I just hear Ms. Obel today for the first time? INCREDIBLE talent...
never too late, right?
Not many voices can stop me dead in my tracks. Gemma Hayes and Agnes Obel are the exception.
one of the rare instances where I instantly fall in love with the song
Three persons... one room... creating art... so simple... so difficult... so beautiful!
💕
Thank the heavens for Agnes Obel.
This lady rocks like no other. I am a metal head but totally dig her vibe. awesome totally awesome.
The sincerity of this piece is killing me
Have I been living under a rock?!!! Lovely!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thats the same way i felt bro. Her music is spiritual
That's so saxicolous of you
I’ve been under the rock next to you🤔
July 2020 - damn rock!
I cherish every little things, human interactions, feelings, luck, bad luck, ups and downs that led you to this moment. Thank you.
One of the most beautyfull song I heard.
Cet univers propre à Mme Obel est mirifique. Come in Chambéry please !!!
This is my favorite ever song. It elicits so many emotions - perfect for when you need to feel something.
+Onyx i know, it gets hard sometimes .
I won't say much because whatever I say, won't do just to your voice and talent. It is rare when I come out of the shadows for something as I always wait for end but a one of light I now follow till my existence fades away.
One of the best Pieces I ever heard
I was listening this song for him. He was my Dorian, now without him, i still listening this song.
Oh.My.Dear.God. Such a masterpiece. Absolutely perfect.
2:27 Those teeny tiny noises from that violin are simply magnifique
Was here before Dark. Am still here after Dark! Love her
I am floored by her. Thank you UA-cam! I went to sleep with London Grammar playing on my bedroom tv and woke up at 3am to the curse. Life changing!
Both Agnes and the backup singer have beautiful voices.
these ladies took me out of my boring little room and into an old library with a grand piano watching a sunset and listening to the forest near me. Lovely holiday.
Like actually happened or metaphorical
Such a beautiful song. I can listen to this over and over and over again. Forever and ever.
qtasabutton21 I can't. I get choked up every time. Reminds me of a certain someone. I don't know why I keep coming back here.
the song was an amazing ride but the smile at the end gave it an unforgettable closure
3 things.
this is magnificent.
i can't believe those lights are quiet enough to be in that room.
your music just put my dog to sleep during a thunderstorm. thank you.
what she does on cello at 4:50 is so beautiful (and so difficult to play)...

One of the most beautifully balanced and earnest songs I have ever heard. For me this is a form of eternal inspiration.
*Beautifully. . . poetically ecapsulated Truth!* 🎶🌟🎶
Great song & what a great rendition

I thought about it too. That book is as good as this song
ugh, am wrestling with tears all the way long, having a hard time swallowing those tears born by pure beauty of this master piece. Out of breath.

Desde Colombia, descubriendo a Agnes en 1921, gracias a Dark. La calidad del sonido permite escuchar hasta la respiración
c'est ce genre de personne qui nous font apprécier la musique
Love this track and especially Mika’s awesome performance within this Masterpieces ❤️

This woman both with her voice and her fingers speaks thousands of emotions and voices.
Fell in love at 5:21 onwards...She's so graceful and charming

Every time I’m facing severe panic attacks I find peace with this song. Thanks for that, dear Agnes
I've not been able to stop listening to this song for some months.

Not a single note was played to harsh nor to soft nor unnecessarily.

The emotion in this set is outstanding, the silence at the end,then her nervous smile of accomplishment, gets me every time.
Oh Boy this eye glance and this smile at 5:25!!! Loo like she'd finally touched the ground looking at her musicians.....Incredibly emotional, for me at last......
"As the sad-eyed woman spoke we missed our chance
The final dying joke caught in our hands"........
Absolute angelic voice ✌️❤️
This is the first time I listen this, but I'm blown up by the beauty of it
keep coming back for this part 04:25 to end. Get chills every time.
Toute ces émotions indescriptibles qui traverse sur cette musique. Surtout l'esprit dans un cercle de doute et d'ouverture sur l'homme et le monde.
the smile at the end of this video...."yes, we did it! This is wat we intended it to be!" That makes this video complete! Wonderfull, wonderfull music!
When I discovered UA-cam in 2010 this music was my first love.... and she still is. Such sweeetness... Thank you Agnes.
Words can not explain how perfect this is. Love to see her in concert.
I had the good fortune of seeing her live in San Francisco at the Independent before 2020 and she was amazing. Whole set was magical and ethereal. She brought great cello players with her. I had the most incredibly vivid dreams all night afterwards. Have never had that experience before and I’d worked concerts for years.
If The Leftovers originally introduced you to Agnes, hello friend. Still listening to this glorious music in 2024 ❤
Can't handle this. How much beauty
This song helped me to find/ get a piece of me back, that I feel like losing again and again ... it's one of my most important, but also most vulnerable parts ... and I will always try to get it back again and again. We both need each other ...
Goosebumps and tears from first time listening to this ...

Why have I only just discovered this beautiful sound?! Everything is perfect!
OMG, this is such a moving piece of music. Ya'll are so gifted!!!! It's so hard to find good music nowadays. I love it!!
Their voices build a wonderful performance to the ear but I fantasize to see none as beautiful a viola d'amore as she.
