The curss song
Agnes Obel wrote this song after reading the 2011 best seller Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman. "It's a book about the mind, and there is a chapter in the book about narrative fallacies, and I thought that was really interesting," Obel said in a Songfacts interview. "How we construct these narratives of our own lives, even though so many things, almost anything that happens, is the result of a lot of things outside of our own control and doesn't have any meaning - it's completely accidental. But our minds want to put meaning into everything and to make sense of them."
The tendency for humans to search for meaning can be both a blessing and a curse, which is a theme Obel explores in this song. Art, science and discovery are all fueled by this curiosity, but so is aggression and insularity. In this song, there is a curse that could be a blessing in disguise.

beautiful song. the mummy is awoken by a woman whom he instantly falls in love with. he eventually becomes stronger, learns her language and becomes accustomed to the world around him. As he grows stronger, she becomes weaker and eventually dies. That is the curse. I love the ending. "she asked 'Why pryamids?' He said, 'Think of them as an immense invitation.'" its as though he is spelling out the reason why she found him and why he will eventually take her fame and life.
It can be performed on stage, in the streets, or even in the privacy of one's own home. Whatever the form, magic always leaves us in awe, wondering how it was done. But is magic real? Some believe that magic is simply an illusion, a clever trick of the mind. Others argue that there is a deeper, more mystical power at play. They believe that magic taps into a hidden realm, connecting us to forces beyond our comprehension. Whether we choose to believe in the reality of magic or not, there is no denying its influence on our culture. From legendary figures like Merlin and Harry Houdini to popular fictional characters like Harry Potter, magic has left an indelible mark on our literature, movies, and entertainment. In a world that often feels predictable and mundane, magic reminds us that there is still room for enchantment and surprise. It challenges us to question the limits of our understanding and embrace the wonders that lie just beyond our grasp. So, whether you are a skeptic or a believer, magic has a way of captivating us all. Its allure is timeless, transcending generations and cultures. It sparks our imagination and invites us to believe in something greater than ourselves. In the end, perhaps that is the true magic of it all - the ability to ignite the spark of wonder and curiosity within us, reminding us that there is always more to discover in this world and beyond. As long as there is one sumb who is willing to shake the boundaries of what is known, the magic will continue to captivate and astonish us all..
