Agalloch - Where Shade Once Was

[voidismatter]

Do you happen to have this picture or know the source?

[AICbrazilianfan]

Agalloch songs resonate the decline of mankind.

[sherbella1]

I exist in time, and wish for a time machine, yet I am!

[nyXhc666]

agalloch helps me through some of the worst times, yet also calms me when i just want to relax. agalloch and moonsorrow are all the music i need to be contenet

[panchofolckmetal]

Life is a constant battle and we must learn to be strong to overcome this obstacle and must understand that everything can be but with time.

[TheHuntress144]

very cinematic

[churras13]

entire world should know this band

[redcommando1]

@churras13 I rather they didn't! they would probably demand Lady Gaga covers.

[Vrugar90]

Thank you Agalloch for creating this amazing piece of music <3

[appuoliver007]

What a dark atmosphere..

[YesWeLikeMetal]

speechless. Soo Beautiful

[elenaaddams]

Where shade once was, the lake tree in a sprawl Of death no longer writhing against the wind. The people say: "I see now. It was tall." And here and there slight nests of springtime find Themselves dependent on a severed height. The people say: "I see now. It was kind." The people praise. The people cut. Twilight comes and they haul their loads off. Through mid-air a cry... A blackcap crying out in flight, Seeking a nest that is no longer there.

[FUCKTHAPOLIZE]

awesome, i wane play the new oblvion on it and... i do this now muhaha :)

[DeathMetalObsession]

@FUCKTHAPOLIZE Yes Skyrim and the Elder Scrolls series in general accompanied by Agalloch is a beautiful experience. Bethesda studios should recruit the band to do some if not all of the ambient,piano,acoustic work on their next game. Or a DLC music pack for skyrim would work too. That would make my life.

[FUCKTHAPOLIZE]

@DeathMetalObsession 100% agre ;) my favorite offline rpg´s are gothic 1-2 risen morrorwind oblivion skyrim and the witcher ;)

[glyph68]

@FUCKTHAPOLIZE You mean Skyrim? :P (and I'd hate to see this world without the local police doing what they do. So would you.)

[FUCKTHAPOLIZE]

@glyph68 yea i mean Skyrim you wane talk over police? over a fashism and capitalism government?

[bubbujones]

I believe if the earth could present a poem to humanity, this would be it...

[awesomdor]

I'm trying to figure out the lyrics, can anyone help? Where shade once was The oak tree and the storm of (doth/death) no longer writhing against the wind the people say I see now it was (torn/told) and here and there (???) themselves dependent on a severed hide the people say I see now it was (timed/kind) the people praise the people cut twilight comes and they haul their loads off through (???) a black cat crying out in fright/flight seeking a nest that is no longer there

[Tenshaii]

@awesomdor The lyrics in this song were translated from an Italian poem by Giovanni Pascoli, named "The Fallen Oak". Google it, and you will be able to find them. :)

[awesomdor]

@Tenshaii Ah, I see. I was really off.

[awesomdor]

@Tenshaii Thanks, by the way.

[Zombiefied666]

Is it me, or this song sounds exactly the same like the bridge part from Into The Painted Grey???

[alchemie2v5x]

@Zombiefied666 sounds like it, still amazing 

[Zombiefied666]

@alchemie2v5x Absolutely second that.

[Vandaren21]

this song is perfect for listening to in combination with rainymood : )

[DestroyEET]

This sounds like something that would play after the end of all humanity, when nature is finally relieved and can live again.

[hadshark]

....Agalloch never fails to inspire me....

[Bluuuu100]

I don't understand how any group of people can create this melancholy nostalgia within beautiful music so perfectly. This may be one of the best compositions I have ever heard. Agalloch is by far the most underrated group I have ever heard of. I'm just enthralled by this song.

[Pezablez]

Melancholic song, another hidden gem by Agalloch. :D

[DiegoKatabian]

RAINYMOOD !!!

[Hexentaenze]

Excellent! Where can I get this?

[AwesomeVader]

@Hexentaenze Read the description ;)

[glyph68]

@AwesomeVader Funny how many times "read the description" pops up. What I do like about this crowd, besides our kinshipped love of music, is the patience. (For the most part) Cheers to you all for that.

[tarahumare]

Pure beauty song......

[3ernI]

anyone has lyrics?

[Grouperable]

How could you dislike this???

This is so beautiful and breathtaking.

This is what makes living in the city bearable.

[HallwaysOfAlways]

@Grouperable You said it man.

[theconantroutman]

Agalloch are great at folk.

[666agalloch]

dude i dont have this song wat the hell!!!!! im supossed to have all of them:(

[FauxStudios]

I think this should've been the intro to the album!

[psyshock918]

ahhhh so good

[hltunen]

Does anyone have the lyrics?

[TGLumberjack]

Is that a cello or a viola at the end?

[hauntedshore204]

Thnx for this. Good for this rainy day

[habilshah]

The guitars remind me of 'Into The Painted Grey' riffs

[technicolour45]

@habilshah yeah I think its the same progression

[insidethefall78]

woah!! A new Agalloch song, or at least one I haven't heard before

Sounds neofolk-ish current 93, death in june, sol invictus

[TheJoeyTaylor]

Very Current 93. I like it.

[patiomkin2001]

Reminds me of Sol Invictus.

[AwesomeVader]

@patiomkin2001 Yes, this composition sure has an intense nostalgic atmosphere attached to it. I really think that Agalloch write the best songs of this kind in the whole music industry.

[AHetekivi]

Parts are actually from "Into the Painted Grey"... - Mr. Obvious

[Claggy]

Beautiful!

[FireAboveIce]

this truly amazing <3
