Hey everyone, I am very happy to announce my new album “Myopia”, released on February 21st 2020. Today is the day where the new single and video for “Island Of Doom” is released. The video is made by Alex Brüel Flagstad. You can pre-order the album now here: AgnesObel.ffm.to/myopia.oyd Island Of Doom Lyrics: Destiny made her way and found you in a room, They told me, they told me: To undo the rule of mind and body, And nature laughed away as their voices grew. They told me, They told me: “Clean out the room and bury the body”. But I know you with a heartbeat So how does the night feel? When the lights fade out When the lights fade out When the lights fade out But now it’s gone, it’s gone, it’s gone. But now it’s gone, it’s gone, it’s gone. “Haven’t walked for days though I wanted to” You told me, you told me: “For with every move the feeling follows”, “In nature’s empty face, I am of little use”, You told me, you told me: “I’m just another fool for the earth to swallow”. But the road through mines will lead you back, and I will be with you Before the road of your mind will eat you up, on your island of doom Where the voices have all gathered up, to a choir of fools But I know my mind will reach you there, and I will be with you. Oh I know you with a heartbeat So how does the night feel? When the lights fade out When the lights fade out When the lights fade out And now it’s gone, it’s gone, it’s gone And now it’s gone, it’s gone, it’s gone. Why you wake me up today? Why you wake me up today? One two three four five.
What I love about Agnes is that in the age when music artists are expected to reinvent themselves every album cycle the doesn’t change her sound too much but instead she finds new nuances and details within her own universe. And she does it excellently!

I know that none of us will ever love these words as much as you do. That certainly puts things into perspective. Thanks for sharing. It's absolutely brilliant.
I wonder how many of you know that Agnes did all this by herself at her home, all the writing playing singing and mixing, please think about that lol epic :)
Wherever I am when I listen to Agnes Obel I feel like home. Like if my soul has always known this voice. It is impossible to not connect myself to her songs. Hi from France
I am totally stuck with this song and with Agnes. its like every two to three months I am tripping with a different song from her...and so the days go by...
Agree, it's brilliant and indeed very accurate. I also recommend to listen to Peter Gabriel I Grieve and No way - also very truthful depiction of grief...
OMG YOU'RE BACK! YOU'RE BACKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!! I HAVE MISSED YOU SO MUCH!! I am still listening all of your songs on repeat everyday and coincidentally was wondering lately where you were and if you still are making music and.. here you are!!! 😭🤧♥️✨ Can't wait!!
I am one of those ppl who I don’t listen to specific genres, I listen to specific artists within genres and I just love ur music. The composition, ur voice the instruments. I just love it all. I love ur ability to compose something and then it just becomes one; it’s hard to divide all the layers of the music because they’re so perfectly entangled. It’s so magical. And I really like this song. The abstractness of the video, the feeling of the song and the melody. Just everything. I really love when a string instrument comes into ur music cos it just changes the atmosphere or adds to it. It’s a really beautiful piece. I can’t wait for the album. Thank you so much. Your music is a godsend. 🥰🥰🥰🥰 Can we also just take a minute to acknowledge that she writes,composes,produces and records most of her music by herself. 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you Agnes. I cried listening to this song because 2 months ago a kindred spirit, a cat I had the privilege to know for 15 years died, I dug a grave in the backyard by the creek and laid her to rest. Your work is like a part of the universe reflecting on itself. -Nicholas (39, Minnesota)
I knew it was coming. I waited patiently. I stood in one place. I traveled. I am laying in a bed in Sydney Australia far from home and here you are. And here you are. And you are here you are. Sigh.
I love all of her music what a powerful set of lyrics emotion and raw energy I love the feelings of warmth and truth giving us all a sense of new strength in new hopes that through the healing of music we can find the will to go unconquered fearless and loyal to who we are during times of trouble we can rise up from the ashes and walk out of the fire and find our inner peace and our happiness will bring us to our destiny we can stay true and do what we’re meant to do anyone who loves music I know you’re right there with me music is the best medicine 😍🎵🎶🎼🎤🎹🎸
I lost 3 people very dear to me between 2020 And 2021 Agnes you really helped me to overcome a lot with your music sending lots of love your way stay true I will forever be inspired by your heart and beautiful art
Awesome visuals in this video. I really feel an intense connection to the element of haunting beauty here. Some people love bright sunny days, but I prefer and feel a stronger connection to things that are dark, cold, still and blue.
Agnes, I have been with you from your debut, and your work speaks to me like so few do. Every single person I have introduced to you has become a fan. Thank you for this. Thank you for sharing the pure beauty and magnificence of your muses with us. If only mine were remotely as talented as yours (oh, will I pay for saying this!). Pure soul and love, thank you.
No the story is different. Familiar was about a secret love/affair, and this one is about DEATH of a loved one. Just because vocal tecniques are similar, doesn't mean songs are somehow linked. I mean, she experiments with her vocal in every song, so what they are all conected?)))
@@LittleBeeBee No, that was about secret love affair, this one is about death and grief. Completely different themes and stories. Also, she uses similar vocal techniques and experiments in many songs, not just these two
@@yevgeniyaleshchenko849 It is entirely possible that the loved one she is mourning is the lover she was having a secret affair with! And that is certainly the impression/message I received from the song. Music is subjective, regardless of what the original meaning behind the song/lyrics, it is how it makes you feel, the imagery it evokes within the mind of the listener.
This woman does not conquer the world because he doesn't want to, I Love Her!! His Music cross borders, México waits for you in 2020, You are simply ART!! Thanks forma your Arte, ( Music) QUEEN!!!
This world is filled with commercial electric music and pop music without any deep thoughts or ideas.But when I opened this song,I got comforted, with the soft sound of piano flows into my ears like stream.Agnes is still that Agnes ❤️
Agnes, you are an inspiration. I connect with your music, voice, lyrics, (poetry & Art), so much so that it transports my mind/spirit to another reality, another dimension. It reminds me of home but not of this earthly plane. I wonder do you feel connected/as one with the spirit of creation when you write and compose your beautiful music into the world? That's certainly how I feel when I listen to it. 🖤
Agnes, you're magic! You are an absolute blessing to all the beings who get to experience even a glimpse of your work. You have inspired me at so many innumerable ways. I chose to learn music only after listening to your beautiful compositions which I discovered five years ago. I wonder how your personal journey has been. Sending infinite love and warmth your way! 🌸❤
Agnes, I saw you perform at Capitol Recs tonight. I work for the publisher of Dustin and Peter.....You and your band stopped me in my tracks. Love your choices, your sound... you have a new fan. Amazing...
Nous attendons cet album avec impatience. Nous = 'la famille" Chacun des albums d'Agnes Obel est un nouvel électrochoc mystique. Cette beauté dont nous avons besoin... Merci.
I've been waiting Now you have arrived with a beautiful music. I'm so happy that you return with also a new Album coming. You are an Artist/musician i will always listen till i die, because it grounds me into life and the meaning of music.

This is a startlingly beautiful song, and the lyrics ripped my heart apart. It seems to be of deep loss and I just felt this in every fibre of my being. Its a masterpiece ❤️

Agnes Obel, always a pleasure to listen to! I really liked the way you used the voice distortion effect once again, it correborates even more to the spooky feel in the song.
