"And the last sight I did see is still here, beckoning right behind me". Best ending to an album ever. The one you love will wait for you in death. I'ts very hard to write a story that is both brutal and tragic and still heart warming and romantic. Amazing album.
You know if their was a movie based on Still Life, it would be the best movie ever. and all it would have to be is a black screen with the CD playing from beginning to end. Best 1 hour, 2 minutes and 31 seconds ever made.
White Cluster continues the chaos brought on by Serenity Painted Death, the peak comes with an ascending scale-recitation, repeated on and on with growing intensity, conjuring a feeling of inevitability. The music in this album always suits the respective part of the story perfectly.
5:04 the acoustic part feels like everything is silent, just before a jerky riff where the main character is hanged and then falls into hell during the solo.
i love how this is technically the song i discovered Opeth to, i first heard it from a friend in about my 5th grade year, either wasnt told it was Opeth or didnt notice, brushed it off as pretty cool (music didnt strike me too much then)...fast forward to my 7h grade year, i start hearing Opeth, and i get to this song and just think, "holy shit this is THAT song" haha...the very reason this is one of my favorites from Opeth
Orchid, Black Water Park, Still Life those are my favs, but nods to My Arms Your Hearse, Morningrise, Deliverance, Ghost Reveries, Watershed and Damnation..lol..did I miss any? jk
just awsome, i just think it's amazing how opeth succedes in creating such emotion with simple instruments, this being only one among alot of my favourites
Makes me sick when I see everyone now saying Watershed and Ghost Reveries are the best Opeth albuns. They havent know the real Opeth then, STILL LIFE! (though I like those records too, just not the same)
I've always taken this album to be about a black man who falls in love with a white woman. Their relationship is found out, he escapes, she ends up getting killed. He comes back, murders them all for what they've done, and then gets hung by people wearing white (presumably in KKK fashion)
10 mins of insanity!!

If you love bands like Tool, Opeth, Porcupine Tree, King Crimson, A Perfect Circle, you should definetely check out our album, "Telos".
Look for Isurusband on youtube or google it to find our website.
Telos is available on ITunes, too.
Peace, Isurus.

Hearing this song takes me back to when I saw them live and heard this song for the first time.
I was cumming my jeans when his solo came expressed by the comment below.
But more percisely it was the solo trade off At 645.
The guitarists were togehter and then mikeal pulled off for the solo leaving the now ex guitarist.
