Familiar Lyrics:
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

It is very impressive that she can do "both" voices. I thought there is a male vocalist, then I watched her live performances and saw it is only she, the cellist and the percussionist. They are also very talented..

[@antinoocp]

About that Agnes Obel said "The chorus, it was sort of “secret singing,” like a ghost singing. And then I used this pitch shifter to make the voice sound ghostly. I also wanted something that sounded a little digital, because I feel a lot of our love life today is taking place in the internet - it’s digitalized, in a way. I thought it would be nice if it had this digitalized, electronic sound to the voice in the chorus".

[@javarox]

She also uses male backup singers when available. Look at her video where she's live in Denmark. She has two male vocalists singing this part with her harmonizing.

[@kaseyc9459]

Think they pitch her voice down for that effect. I thought it was a male singing too at first though. Love this song

DARK: When Dark uses Familiar by Agnes Obel (familiar name), it was the first time where I realized (and probably everyone) how special this show was on so many levels. The ability to combine the perfect music with such pivotal scenes is brilliant. This is the first deeply emotional scene portraying the chain of events that are about to happen. It's the first time we saw where this show was going. Absolutely brilliant cinematography and score, combined with arguably one of the greatest stories ever told.

[@WondersList]

The chorus sounds like a male voice, but that's actually Obel's voice pitched down and layered to make it sound ghostly - what she calls "secret singing." The processed vocal also goes with the theme of love (especially secret love) taking place in cyberspace much of the time. Now you know ;)

All the emotional turmoil and complexity that was in the game, the connection to the characters, and the struggles, now all those also paint the song.

"Our love is a ghost that the others can't see" *melts*

[@Ididntaskforahandleyoutube]

It's rare for me to hear a song and be completely captivated half way through. What a piece of art. I think the last band that hit me this hard with a song was by Belle & Sebastian or Marc Antione. It really sounds like it would have been a song off of the Romeo & Juliet soundtrack in the '90's. Cheers.

[@joedatura1023]

I have been listening to this song for almost ten years now and I just got the story this song is about. She is such a powerful musician when it comes to evoking emotions just by voice, melody and words alone, that the meaning was completely lost to me until now. The song is about a love affair - two people who meet and fall in love and can't be together because of the lifes they lead. "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" In the beginning of the song, she asks her lover if their love is possible. She compares it to walking on water, but she also references the lifes they both lead, wondering what's more impossible - to be together, or to carry on like it never happened. "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" This is a reference to their love threatening their usual lifes. Which is why I think it's about an affair. If people knew, it would destroy everything, so they got to stay quiet. "We took a walk to the summit at night, you and I To burn a hole in the old grip of the familiar, you and I And the dark was opening wide, do or die" This could mean a litteral walk at night, or it could be a reference to sleeping with each other. "To the summit at night", "to burn a hole" - the first one could be a more direct reference, while the second one references passion, that is yet again forbidden and thus not just burning but burning a hole into the every day life. Edit: "do or die" in this context references the impossibility of not taking these actions and the deep longing after each other. If we view the whole of the song though, it makes me think about the choice of title and the focus on the topic of the familiar. It feels like it's unclear to her herself if the feelings they have for each other arise from a longing for adventure and new, intense experiences to break out of the familiar or if it is something true and honest. It's hard to say if she thinks the familiar is something bad or good. If it is something that you get comfortable in, even though you shouldn't. Or if it's a good and baluable thing. And maybe it's neither. Maybe it's just a view on how time goes, always, turning something new into something familiar, making you wish for new things in a cyclical motion that we're doomed to repeat forever? Idk if my analysis makes sense to anyone but myself. However, to me, this seems very logical. :)

[@apriljohnson1067]

She said it was about a secret. And that the whole album is about living lives while everyone is watching, digitally.

[@JamesN16]

I love your analysis of the song. Well articulated. It’s now the only thing I hear when I listen to it. Thanks for sharing! Building on your interpretation, I like how the song at 1:18 builds as though you expect the chorus, offering some resolution to the build up, but instead goes back to the opening melody. Back to the familiar. It’s as though passions are high and instead of being able act on their love for one another, they are instead confronted with reality and the familiar. Then, while in this part of the song comes the chorus. As though the passion and longing for one another is breaking through the attempt to return to normal.
