    The way she visibly appears to struggle in hitting her vocal notes is suspensefully beautiful.

    This is one of the best live performances I've ever seen. The whole band kills it. Not to mention the writing. It may be my favorite chorus of all time.

      All her songs are different in her performances, i get confused on which to download. Might be just a slight difference but that just tells of its spontaneity.

    Can you walk on the water if I, you and I?
    Be'Cause your blood’s running cold outside the familiar true to life
    Can you walk on the water if I, you and I?
    Or keep your eyes on the road and live in the familiar without you and I
    It glows with gates of gold to true life
    For our love is a ghost that the others can’t see
    It’s a danger
    Every shade of us you fade down to keep
    them in the dark on who we are
    (Oh what you do to me)
    This love is gonna be the death of me
    It’s a danger
    'Cause our love is a ghost that the others can’t see
    We took a walk to the summit at night, you and I
    To burn a hole in the old grip of the familiar true to life
    And the dark was opening wide, do or die
    Under a mask of vermillion ruling eyes
    And our love is a ghost that the others can’t see
    It’s a danger
    Every shade of us you fade down to keep
    them in the dark on who we are
    (Oh what you do to me)
    Gonna be the death of me
    It’s a danger
    'Cause our love is a ghost that the others can’t see

    Agnes is that rare diamond one is truly fortunate to view in one's lifetime. Extraordinarily beautiful on the outside and quite possibly more so on the inside... No diamond cutter needed on this one. Perfect just as she is... 💗

    Im new to this breath taking band. So mesmerized. I would love to know what emotion was the lady on the piano was feeling towards the end of song when they stop singing and play the instrumental end of the song. The lady in red, her smile when the song hits the chours at 1:26 is the most beautiful ever, the way is so happy gentle makes that part of song even sweeter. Im unquestionably a new fan.

    Somehow I like this performance the most. It is recorded better than others, the voice change is more subtle than the original but also the better sound quality than the other live performances. I'm even in love with the parts that are not very vocally clear which is really rare for me. Only Planningtorock has made me enjoy this kind of thing before. I can't believe that I haven't listened to Agnes Obel for almost 8 years.
