Familiar

"That is a song about a secret," Obel says of this mysterious, ethereal track. "When you lose all your privacy, when you become transparent, or when you make yourself transparent, what is it you're losing? You're losing your secrets." (from a Songfacts interview with Agnes Obel)

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.

Personnel on this track: John Corban - violin Kristina Koropecki and Charlotte Danhier - cellos Daniel Matz: timbra, shakers
