Agnes Obel - Riverside



Link.

Favorite lyrics: "I walk to the borders on my own / To fall in the water just like a stone / Chilled to the marrow in them bones"

Agnes Obel's voice paired with her beautiful piano playing and simple, stark lyrics create soft, gorgeous, and eerie songs. Her music is pretty flawless in all aspects, and manages to take the essence of sentiments and transform it into sound. It's quiet, peaceful, but also edgy and twisted. You can sit and listen to her entire "Philharmonics" album for hours and be absolutely content. The song we're featuring today is only a small taste of a much larger, stunning combination of sound and words.

Reminds us of: A Fine Frenzy
Listen to: while skipping stones.
