    My God, where did this song come from? Such a haunting masterpiece, overwhelming beauty.

    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 rings 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

    Ne kadar güzel. Bir kasım nöbetinin son dakikalarını böyle geçirmek... Kulübenin camlarına dokunan yaprakları dökülmüş ince ve kuru dallar eşliğinde... Dışarıdan gelen sonbahar esintileriyle... İyi ki varsınız Agnes. 🧡

    Joel Miller... You're right. DIVINE is exactly the word to describe this voice and this bewitching music. I'm "obsessed" with her music since 2 years ago already

    • @splritwolf
      @splritwolf 7 лет назад +1

      Perhaps some sort of glockenspiel, music box or chime? It is one of the sounds you can make on the keyboard. Hope this helped ✌

  • @pmd4art
    @pmd4art 7 лет назад +4

    Pretty sound, but she doesn't enunciate so the lyrics are totally lost.

    • @demianelark
      @demianelark 7 лет назад +20

      That's part of her thing though... Like, that's the point. She's said earlier that she likes it when the words sound like their own melody. So like, the lyrics aren't really the point, if that makes sense.

    • @BrodyBaddis
      @BrodyBaddis 7 лет назад +6

      Enunciate all you want, but if you can't shine emotion into your songs, you're not creating like Agnes can and the many artists like her of which I like. Their delivery I find fitting -- It's not everyone's taste, obviously, so just move on and listen to your perfectly enunciating artists. fyi: Don't listen to any of Bob Dylan's songs. Don't look at paintings with soft edges, or look at photographs with soft-focus/blur applied to it.
      Maybe stick with watching plays and operatic performances and stay away from free flowing music.
      troll or just silly. watevs. smh

    • @TheDaddyO44
      @TheDaddyO44 7 лет назад +2

      Patricia Merrill If you think Agnes is hard to decipher listen to the Cocteau Twins from the 80's (who are obviously an influence). It's more about the beauty of the sound and mood than some literal meaning

    • @Katz1964
      @Katz1964 3 года назад +1

      All of her songs are like that, that’s just her style. Some places post her lyrics but with the different parts and harmonies together you just appreciate the talent they present and just listen.

      It’s Impressionism for your ears. Her vocals are sublime. I saw her live in Edinburgh two months ago. She was utterly incredible.
