Broken sleep, all too human
A malady, it's gazing through when I would

Dream me a dream (Soft as a pillow)
Dream me a dream (Dream me a dream)
Dream me a dream (Deep in the night till the morning will follow)
Dream me a dream (Dream me a dream)

Shapes of smoke, all too human
They grow, like titans

I would like to fall, silence every call
(Will you level me with a dream?)
If I could fall, fall

I would like to fall (fall asleep), silence every call
(Will you level me with a dream?)
If I could fall, I would like to fall

Twisted rope, defies all I know
It holds, my reason

Dream me a dream (Soft as a pillow)
Dream me a dream (Dream me a dream)
Dream me a dream (Deep in the night till the morning will follow)
Dream me a dream (Dream me a dream)

Sea of trees, calling humans
To hang like leaves from the willow

I would like to fall, silence every call
(Will you level me with a dream?)
If I could fall, fall

I would like to fall (fall asleep), silence every call
(Will you level me with a dream?)
If I could fall, I would like to fall

Take my word for it, for it
In the dark, in the dark
In the dark words can follow

You might be doing yourself a dishonor in such cases. Remember all the times when you somehow like it, but not really ... then suddenly the subtle working of those "second tier" all the sudden work themselves into personal stardom.

When as a teenager, I used to buy a handful of LPs at a time, then make 2 cassette tapes containing songs from the bought albums. The first cassette would contain first tier songs from the records, while the second tape contained second tier songs. Guess what, after a while of intensive listening to the two cassettes, the 2nd cassette more so often turned up as my favorite.  
Im obsesed with her music since the first time I heard of her. Find it unique. Es de una finura increíble.
Agnes, I am still waiting for your phone call.

The development of "My Favorites" and its corresponding "7" cutoff rating has had an interesting (to me at least) impact on my rating habits. In the past I would rate a lot of songs a "7" when I was a fan of the artist but was "so-so" on the song itself. The result was when I would cache "My Favorites" for a road trip I would end up with a gaggle of "so-so" songs that didn't quite fit the bill of ""My Favorites". So now I find myself being a little stingy with my "7" ratings for songs where I like the artist, but I haven't fully bought into the song itself. This is one of those cases, it is not a "6" in  my opinion, but hasn't made the cut for inclusion in a "My Favorites" cache, so un-rated it will remain.



the my favourites option is great. the cutoff can be adjusted in settings which is really a great feature

Not all her songs deserve an 8, but this one definitely does.

You can adjust the level of your favorites cutoff in your account settings.

RP, Great 2 Hour set
Just now complaining about Lame Alt J; RP-segued to this lovely similar sound musings, but not mewlings. Agnes is singing, not whining. Gorgeous and lush, not gangrenous mush.

LOVE RP!!
Actually I tried playing that subtle piano solo... could barely make it at 0.5x speed... more like 1/3 of that tempo. :O
Lovely. SO good to hear something new, too. I was starting to wonder if RP's catalog ended in 2008
Habe Agnes mal gemocht. Doch leider sehe ich keine Entwicklung, es wiederholt sich.

I used to like Agnes. Unfortunately there is no progression, too much repetition.

She's my inspiration for my piano playing. I did 'Chord left' with my teacher, was soooo good. I imagine this would be nice as well.
Starting with a '6', may go up with further listening...
Agnes never fails to intrigue, entice, and enthrall.

Ethereal indeed.
Really enjoying this.
One if my fave female artists...haunting.
