Still Smiling

A Quiet Life

'Dorian' is taken from Agnes Obel's second album 'Aventine'. Available here: http://www.agnesobel.com

Aventine

Dorian

This song is a gentle, acoustic folk serenade in G Major, flowing like a tender waltz under a starry sky. Its slow, lilting rhythm (3/4 time at around 60 BPM) is carried by soft acoustic guitar strumming and delicate fingerpicking, interwoven with warm, light mandolin melodies, a steady, mellow upright bass, and sweet, expressive fiddle lines that highlight emotional moments.

The mood is intimate, deeply romantic, and sincerely heartfelt. It evokes a sense of peaceful contentment, comfort, and enduring affection. The lyrics beautifully mirror this tenderness, telling a story of a timeless, natural love filled with whispered promises, the security of finding "home" in another's eyes, and a gentle, unwavering commitment that is meant to last "in all things, forever." It’s a soothing and warm musical embrace.

Verse 1
Under starry night sky, I hear your voice
Whispers to hold, where we chose our fate
Hold on tight, day and night.
Love is a gentle serenade we sing softly.

Verse 2
I cannot recall when we inscribed our names on the old oak tree.
Promised to be together forever.
Time may change the seasons but I do not lose faith.
That our affection shall never fade.

Chorus
Whispers of promise on the gentle breeze.
A love which forms so naturally
In your eyes, I am home.
I am with you always.

Hold me tight and don't ever let go.
Through the highs and lows, we will grow
Ours evermore, ours always.
My heart is yours and yours alone.

Verse 3
I believe
The sunrise paints the sky with golden shades.
Stories of romance that will never grow old.
Every instant, every word we say,
Retains romance on a daily basis.

Chorus
Whispers of promises on the gentle breeze.
A love which is blossoming so effortlessly.
Home to me is in your eyes.
I am never lonely with you.

Outro
So rest your head and sleep with me 
In all things, forever. 
Whispered words, gentle and sincere, 
Eternally mine to belong to.
