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

[@davegerth5911]

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.

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

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 ;)

Recently I was at an Avi Kaplan concert. While I was waiting in front of the stage for the show to start, this song suddenly started to play. I thought I was going to cry (I don't know why lol)... I started screaming for joy in front of my mom and saying like a freak (😆) that it's Agnes Obel and I love this song... I was just in emotions, okay?

[@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.

[@h0nyparty919]

this song is so important to me. i was eight, riding in the car with my mother. we were sitting silently, it was the evening my dog got put down. something was off. my mom grabbed her phone and started playing a song. this song. we stayed silent. it gripped me hard, i don’t know why. i think about that often. whenever i hear this song it’s hard resisting crying. it’s so beautiful. i see faith, hope, sadness, despair, anger and pain in it. i’m curious about Agnes Obel. I’ve fallen under her gentle mysterious spell. everyone who is going through something hard right now, it’s okay. your not alone. it’s tough. there’s always someone to talk to. there’s always one person to listen, keep a secret and understand. find them. they might be across the world, or right next to you. just know your never alone.

I'm agree with you, the style change is brutal. Passages with the battery that did not exist does not fit with the style of music that we know. Piano, violin and bass are still there but to do it. Personally, I have a little trouble to hold on to this new genre.

[@deserterghost]

You're right. The song is good, however, compared to her earlier work it is somehow not as outstanding. This awkward voice effect is just not her style. It seems to me as a weak attempt to use some elements of the modern pop music. Although, this is still better than most of those garbage pop songs.

Honestly, I'm not hearing elements from modern pop music being used in a negative way. It sounds like she's just altering her voice for dramatic effect. I wish more artists were as bold as to try those kinds of effects and really shift their sound. Most modern pop acts would be quivering to attempt anything like this, assuming they'd plummet down the charts. This is as refreshing as can be. For me, at least.
