  • Oh my god Opeth! 

  • is that video a part of movie or something ?

  • why is the begining of the song edited shorter?????

  • "and isolation is all that _would remain_"

  • The wound in me is pouring out to rest on a lover's shore.

  • odio a los putos fans apocalipticos

  • I could just turn all the lights in my house off and just let this play and fall a sleep to it. its so relaxing Opeth for life!

  • PINK FLOYD ANNO 2011, I absolutely love the feel they put in their music

  • The songs where there are just clear vocals touch me much more than the growls. They are the type of songs I'd want playing while I die peacefully in my sleep.

  • man these lyrics are deep...

  • Has anyone ever read the book "The Perks Of Being A Wallflower"? I just finished it today... and when I closed the book after finishing, I felt like listening to this song....

  • @frindle8 what's a book?

  • @KarimBoctorAwad harharharhahar

  • Stunning.

  • I hope they rebound after Watershed. The last album was over-produced and did not feel like Opeth at all. As a fan who still thinks Orchid was one of their best albums they, they need to return to their roots.  Or else I feel many fans like myself will lose faith in such a great band.

  • "And as I read "I'll die alone", I know she's aching." Good God, HEART-WRENCHING! I love the perspective of the lyrics. It was ingenius of Akerfeldt to write about the letter instead of strictly about Rosemary.

  • They have a new album coming out. I liked Akerfeldt's work in Bloodbath, but I like this as well.

  • The last lyrics of this song make me wanna cry every time I hear it....such a sad sad song

  • this song makes me melt.

    There's a sense of longing in me...

    Can't forget the years i lost In isolation

  • I started with Watershed I thought i'd never love a song more than Porcelain Heart but I was DEAD wrong when I found out the other albums my fave album is Still Life and my fave song is Face Of Melinda

  • this song is absolutely gorgeous

  • Video doesn't go with the song.

  • WHY is the first thing we see in this video, THE REAL MADRID STADIUM? Hurts my sight each time I hear this wonderful song.

  • you know a band (opeth) is awesome when their worst cd (ghost reveries) is still great. Now people may not agree with me, but I own all of opeths cds, have been listening to them for 10 + years, and have seen them 3 times in concert, I know opeth haha. This cd is not their best work but that doesnt mean its bad, its just no orchid, still life, MAYH, or morningrise. Still Life is their best work, but the other 3 i mentioned were close to still life in quality. Opeth is original and timeless.

  • creo que el video no tiene nada que ver con la cancion,pero esta canción es estupenda y de las tranquilas es casi mi favorita

  • One of my favorite songs by Opeth I can't wait for "Heritage"!!

  • this song makes me melt. i seriously feel something flowing inside my heart, especially during the chorus. and i mean this as literally as it can get.

  • What does this song have to do anything with this video

  • Its not "hard begin to listen Opeth" I loved them right away, first 3 songs I heard blew me away back in 1999. They're still one of my favorite bands to this day!

  • Lyrically it doesn't fit but the feel of the song goes GREAT with the video. Very passive, kinda like you just gotta sit back and watch as it all goes down the drain

  • this video is really cool....love it

  • i wish the vid was in hd, 

  • @thrideye387 i wish it was in 3D

  • The opening shot of this video set to the music is probably one of the most amazing things I have ever seen.

  • Opeth can give you the creeps with their psychodelic music. So out of the world, so beautiful...

  • beautiful.. is the world

  • and as I read, i'll die alone... I know she's aching..

  • very good video man

  • Opeth is one of the best bands out there. Definitely original

  • thumbs up if wick and sharm bringed you here :)

  •  Just the thought of this world ending brings joy to my eyes and heart... GOD! I love this video and song.

    Amazing combination!

  • Great song! I can't get enough of Opeth

  • meravigliosa

  • its not a song about the end of the world read the lyrics guys..

  • @vd22 i know, but i wanted a kind of scenario.

  • @Lifer35 thank you sooooo much for posting this video. It's absolutely stunning. I never cared that much for this song before I saw this video but now I love it like every other opeth song. btw are these graphics from a film or tv show?

  • @Lifer35 It was a good scenario buddy

  • @vd22 Ever lost someone?!...

  • @vd22 hater

  • This video is so well done.

  • actually it is about the end of the world.When you love someone so completely they become your world and when they leave,only an empty star remains

  • @jhman69 That's deep man.

  • Dude every time that I hear this song I remind your video WTF jaja, great job I think… Great song for the end of the world… I can’t even describe Opeth with words; you only have to listen to the music to feel it.

  • I like the juxstaposition of the clam music with the meteors

  • 1 person is feeling the isolation... what a great Opeth track!

  • I'm a huge dream theater fan and i'm just starting to get into opeth. I got ghost reveries and still life. listened to both all the way through and i'm now just letting it sink in. The growling vocals, something i'm not used to are starting to grow on me and i'm trying to keep an open mind about it. But what is a really good cd to get into opeth? for a dream theater fan? i think i like ghost reveries the most out of the two i got.

  • @senecadawg2 I'm thinking you might like Damnation =)

  • @senecadawg2 Check out their album "Damnation", my friend.

  • @senecadawg2 I suggest checking out My Arms, Your Hearse if you want their really heavy stuff and also checking out Blackwater Park, which is probably their best album overall. Damnation is nice and soft, Deliverance is nice and heavy, Watershed is a decent mixture of both and is probably their most progressive album overall. My personal fav is Ghost Reveries, but Opeth is one of their bands that I find incapable of disliking in the slightest.

  • @Fissioninferno

    How could you not even mention Still Life?

  • @partiallyimpartial I don't even remember! How the hell did I forget that :/

  • Things I need if the world comes to an End: a Cohiba Cigar in the left hand, a Glass of Laphroig in the right hand, my muse in the Arms and this Song in the Ear - with those Things I could die Happy^^

  • I must say, I don't like their lyrics too much. They're very abstract, and very poetic, but somewhat alien to me. But the music... and the voice... the music reaches to the depths of my soul, and I can't help but resonate. Or headbang, on some songs.

    Opeth forever!

  • This song is amazing, i love it. Opeth are amazing, every song wether Brutal or Soft i will stand by them forever.

  • I like to think that although this is quite a sad song, it's also very beautiful in a way. It's very inspiring personally to my artwork. Really lovely song.

  • ;_;

  • There's a sense of longing in me as I read Rosemary's letter... -suicides-

  • Te quedo muy padre el video

    me encanto

    Muy a tono de la cancion! que esta muy hermosa. ♥ Opeth

  • Comment removed

  • Musical perfection...

  • i m from Romania ...and i like very very much this melody......listen the message....!!!

  • 2010 has been the my lonsliest year ever. I lived in a foreign country alone, without friends and a language barrier. And from this summer until newyear I have and will be sitting alone at home while my GF works and I'm unemployed. I'll gladly ring out 2010 with the bell this year.

  • @UlfLundell Hang in there man.

  • @firef1yyy Thanks man, things are getting better :)

  • one word, beautifull

  • i hope were lucky enough that if a meteor hits earth that it hits water... and that we get to listen to this one more time before we all get turned to dust or starve to death xD

  • opeth rules.and the video's killer

  • it´s hard begin to listen Opeth... but in the end, you love it and questioning: why i hate opeth a month ago... the answer is: it wasn´t the time...

  • @Holdsworthands

    what he said .well done

  • @Holdsworthands From the moment I heard Opeth I knew right then and there that this is the most talented band on Earth...And it would be nothing less than a privilege to be able to hear this as the world ends....

  • @Holdsworthands nobody's EVER prepared for their music... at first...

  • @Holdsworthands lol what?

  • @Holdsworthands yeah... like 2 months ago I couldn't listen to their songs without getting bored... Now I can't live vithout them.

  • @Mantelis1255 That's because you lack a musical ear. You obviously needed longer amounts of time to process it.

  • @Holdsworthands How was it hard? Good music now is good music 100 years ago, or a 100 years from now. I think you may have just been under influence of bad music for so long that it took some adjustment to open your ears to this :D

  • @Holdsworthands I know how you feel, it's mostly the over dramatic fans that I hate that led me to believe I wasn't going to like them to begin with.

  • @Holdsworthands

    I totally agree! The same way i found to Opeth...and there are great!

  • @Holdsworthands You couldn't be more right:) You must grow, you can't just listen them once and like them. I started listening them 3 years ago, but hated them until summer, 2010.

  • @Holdsworthands that's right, I never thinked that Opeth is so amazing; Love this song

  • @Holdsworthands i never hated opeth even in the first month when i listened to them ..

    but your right about stickin up to them .. they worth the time of listening :)

  • Wait..what?! I've always thought that everyone would loved them since the first listening.

  • Comment removed

  • @Holdsworthands no its not, its quite easy to listen to opeth

    im not a metal fan, just a few bands

    the first song i lstenned was Bleak, and its not a mainstream song at all, but i fucking loved it instantaneously

    i dont like death metal at all, and im not a fan of songs like this

    but the combination between death metal, progressive, flamenco, ballads and clean/growl voice is just amazing

  • @Holdsworthands deep like opeth's song

  • So badass!!

  • Such a powerful song, very sad.

  • This is beautiful.

  • Fucking amazing song.

    I'm trying to get my friends into Opeth, but they just don't understand!

    This is incredible!

    Nice video also.

  • @JodyyC I hear you, I've tried for a long time to show people the awesomness that is Opeth but I've come to learn that some people just "get it" and others just don't and unless they let themselves open up to something that at first is very VERY different from what they have listened to their whole lives, they most likely never will get it. I've mostly given up trying. After all, it isn't my loss.

  • No-one does the shift from crushing brutality to gorgeous subtlety like Opeth. Check out my top albums of the decade list to see where Opeth finish.

  • I think Ghost Reveries held some of their best material. IMO, its the album that has the most "wow". For me anyway.

  • Opeth is the very essence of my soul.

  • It is absolutely impossible not to like an Opeth song.

  • @Azriark actually, it's easy if you dont like growling

  • @Azriark There are a few silly ones. Few and far between, but they exist.

    

  • @losermonster the first albums are not my cup of opeth

  • @FranLesPaul I started with Ghost Reveries and so everything else seemed super weird to me. I even went so far as to say that I didn't like the old stuff at all. Recently I've started taking the time to sit through the older stuff, even if it is too different at first.

    Still not sure about Morningrise, but Orchid is cool, MAYH has got some good stuff. Still Life is AMAZING. BP obviously is great. Deliverance I'm not fond of. Damnation is terrific. Watershed I like a whole lot. GR is my favorite

  • @losermonster I started with BP, Ghost Reveries is my fav though. I really have to start listening to the older albums. Still Life is a masterpiece, no doubt about it. I actually don't like Watershed that much, I mean I love some songs, but all the songs from BP or Reveries are my favourite songs ever. Damnation and Deliverance kick major ass. So different, yet they're all Opeth. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside and brutal at the same time. Gotta love Mikael!

  • I picture a man in the midst of a war, reading his girls letter, and then after the lyric "I know she's aching"......

    She reads his letter, where his "pen must have slipped to the side" .....because he was shot and killed while writing the letter....and her concerns of dying alone have suddenly come true.

    That's what I read into the song

  • beautiful

  • i want opeth to play at my wedding i want opeth to play at my funeral and when im burried i want to be wearing a opeth shirt im serious

  • @brandokilla1 : so will I :) their music will be my everlasting sanctuary

  • fucking amazing

  • the intro is soo porcupinesque..

  • Damn i almost forgot how good ghost reveries was. Their new dvd is going to be fucking epic

  • words cant explain how i feel everytime i hear this song...

    just amazing...

  • only bad thing about this song is the length

  • From what movie or documentory did you take the video from?

  • i almost missed the like button accidently good i dint misss

  • Opeth rocks! If you like shred guitar, check out my song "Pacht's Opus 1 for Electric Guitar in C Minor".

  • This video is totally unrelated.

  • This basically shows that even with all the nuclear weapons and government shit thats going on, nothing can save us from the sheer brutality of the solar system and all these conflicts we are having on earth are pretty fucking pointless...

  • I love this song I use to listen to 24-7 when it first came out.

  • I personally don't like the end of the world concept for this song. It doesn't fit the lyrics at all. It may fit the sound of the song but not the lyrics. I really like the lyrics to this song, and it's a little depressing, there's not too many songs that make me feel emotion. But this one does.

  • beautifullly done...this video serves this amazing respect:)

  • opeth is one of the best groups of our generation (with radiohead and others) and nobody know them...WHY? why is this always people like justin bieber that every persons knows? I wish that one day people will listen to real music, when?

  • I CAN LISTEN TO THIS FOREVER CRYING, SO INTENSE FULL OF EMOTIONS

  • It is a good concept, but you are missing the point. The song is about a man reading the letters of a long deceased woman whom he finds more kinship with than any living person. It is about the heartbreak he feels at being unable to comfort her, as well as her untimely death. I love the song. The video is good too.

  • everything makes fucking sence,,, why dont believe that its going to end ??/ because it ;s been said lots of time, but we are getting closer and closer to year 2012 and there are more and more disasters going on. makes me think

  • i used to not like opeth but then i smoked a couple of bowls and decided to listen again and now im in love with them

    THANK YOU MARIJUANA!!!

  • opeth are very beautiful for the difference between the songs (for example, master apprentices and weakness) and for the beauty of them!!! I love opeth, they are amazing and wonderful, the only band that I love at 100% with my heart! (sorry for my english)

  • this video is intense

  • Id want this song playing on my ipod if i was jumping off a building lol. Amazing tune, very sad. Actually only getting into this band, I ignored them for far too long, they rock!

  • this is just perfection

  • Love this song soooooo much!!!!

  • I love Opeth. Beautiful.

  • Real Madrid and Opeth, I like whoever made the video

  • haha i think its funny they missed the very first riff of the song with the solo in it WTF

  • For some reason, im actually glad it was cut out...

  • This one of the best song i be never heard before.... Opeth is the God of all!!

  • God I love Opeth.

  • nice job, good song

  • Nice vid dude, whats the footage from?

  • I can visualize that second verse so clearly....

  • This song gives me chills, it's one of my favourites. I wish it was a bit longer :(

    It's so beautiful

  • God, that "And as I read" melody is so fucking beautiful. Nice video, too.

  • Exactly. I get chills everytime I hear that chorus, especially that part.

    Beautiful video, where did you get the footage?

  • @SwedishBerzerker Armaggedon movie possibly...

  • "and all the songs that I have sung echo in the distance"

  • this is just perfect

  • @elitedoomer.

    you have the right sence here lol i hate seeing all this arguing. just sit down listen to the amazing music.

  • is trippin' on how reminiscent newer Opeth is of Dio era Sabbath! Very cool!

  • Too many people argue about stupid shit when it comes to Metal. Instead of conforming and being a bunch of whining cunts how bout you shut the fuck up and enjoy the amazing song??

  • @EliteDoomer

    no can do bro, human stupidity is infinite.

  • otro pedoo esta cancion no mames ta cabronnaa chillo chillo

  • brilliant

  • opeth, john butler trio and cassandra wilson are my favourite music picks, anyone want to attack me for what i happen to like, seems to be the buzz of the comments to this vid.

    i think opeth would appricate being enjoied no matter what other music the person was in to.

    just coz its metal (metal/jazz really) doesnt mean you have to be hard core about it.

    but it great to see your passionate about them!! good shit!

    and well done to the maker, i really think it works nicely!

  • Brilliant. I think the video blends in well with the song.

  • cool fuckin video

  • <3 love opeth

  • Opeth is one of the more unappreciated Metal bands. They remind me so much of Hoobastank, they have their talent but they're not famous. It's unfair that shit artists like Soulja Boy get all the fame and awesome bands like this are less known. Opeth, for life.

  • Wow, I really hope you're joking, but after looking at your profile I can see that you're not joking; just stupid. First of all, Opeth IS famous and Hoobastank (while very shitty) is even MORE famous. They're played on mainstream radio stations all over the world for fucks sake. How in the hell can you compare a band like Opeth to a mainstream, record-label made generic manufactured shitty band like Hoobastank that writes boring, uninspired shit just to get rich? I'm sorry for you, I really am.

  • And I'm sorry for you. People like Hoobastank; what's it to you? Learn to respect what other people like. I can listen to anything from Lamb Of God all the way to Hoobastank. Is there ant problem with that? Hoobastank and Opeth are two of my favourite bands. Please learn to respect that and not just diss it.

  • lamb of god is also mainstream

  • Yeah, I know, I love them.

  • im sorry man, but he´s got a point. i´m respecting your taste in music, but you just have to admit you were wrong about comparing opeth to hoobastank. And yes, he is right about opeth being famous, they are definetly NOT AN UNAPPRECIATED BAND, NOT AT ALL.

    I agree w/ you about "opeth for life" :)

  • you made my day. thx :D
