Agnes Obel

“I really believe it's not bad to look back within music. I don't mean retro, but using your own memories to make a song because our memories are what make us who we are.”

“The piano and the singing are two equal things to me - maybe not inseparable but very connected. You can say they are like two equal voices.”

“I'm very happy that I got introduced to music only as something you got pleasure from.”

“Feelings such as loneliness, longing or love are sometimes hard to put into words; maybe that's why we all love music, because it resonates with something we can't share.”

“I don't have a daily routine at all.”

“What I discovered in Berlin was this immense freedom because it felt like you could start any kind of project and nobody would care... and that's what I sort of adopted to my own.”

“With 'Philharmonics,' I had to do a lot of interviews, and it was like I was corrupting something. In many ways, I've said everything in the song. And either I can't go back to what it was because it's changing when I play it, or I still haven't figured out what the song is about.”
