The 3rd and the Mortal - Why so lonely

[Endseeker16]

so beautiful

[blackemptysky]

Many memories are bounded to this sad and tender song. One of the few female vocalist I truly appreciate. For the video I would have chosen a different text color, that bright yellow is a bit annoying. All considering you have done a good job, thanks for sharing :)

[TheGaaaad]

kari i love you in 3rd and the mortel

[SatjaSarvate]

SoulBG9 - I did :)

[SoulBG9]

[55WO]

[jumpfart666]

[duessel135]

[GoatBorn]

Very nice.  Anyone brought by Agalloch?

[zombiemanfreak1]

you can hear the intense sadness sorrowfulness and desolation in this son g

[redshaftedflicker]

folk and doom--love it.

[TheGaaaad]

gaad i love this song.the 3rd and the mortal

[Jojotzy]

after so many years this is still actual. great song, great band!

[0INSIDER1]

Possibly the best doom metal band ever. These Norwegians are still a head above of any traditional doom\death-doom\whatever-doom band in terms of instrumental technicality and songwriting skills. Even their electronic\trip-hop albums are just nothing but amazing.

[Skullwerk]

@0INSIDER1 Music relies on inspiration and what better for the doom template than winterscapes? Hail, Norway!

[SimoneVibekeSabine]

Will you be mine

Until the end of time ♥?

[ptakart]

my beloved band ...

[PaulDresdenhoff]

great song!!! love this band

[MegaJuncar]

Una voz ke te pone a soñar y te enamora...

[MyAutumnIsSad]

Kari Rueslatten!!!! i love her voice...

[iankaislaia]

excellent song. I consumed this cd when I was 15 yo.

[divinagaz]

<3

[iamwhoiam80com]

Kari....voice of an angel!!!!!

[magusta000]

Ann-Marie Edvardsen...Kari Rueslatten... this band had great singers every time..

[MrMarion33333]

one of my best song in my life!

[LAURIEANNHAUS]

This band does not get enough recognition for the huge influence it has had on the "gothic metal" scene. In old magazines you will see Nightwish listing it as an influence. I believe that The Gathering was also influenced by them? Best band ever.

[Pagan1race]

Incredible feelings...

[chiyamada]

i like to listen to this song when i'm taking a particularly large crap.

[zosimfr]

Excellent .....

[linkinn18]

One of the most UNDERRATED BANDS EVER!!

Her voice is absolutley beautiful. I wish i could see them one day but it seems impossible.

[blackmetal66620]

if you like this kind of music check out black metal funeral doom and death doom you will surley like it hails \m/

[vithovenstyle]

I remember being at some fucked up party, and this song was the only bearable thing on it.

[Exadata]

One the most memorable songs from 90's...What times beautiful song...

[duvexy]

This makes me cry. It it so beautiful.

[DHG666]

Neuvěřitelně krásná muzika, prostě nadčasová. Toto album mám dojem pochází z roku 1994 a už tehdy mě totálně dostalo. Mám od této kapely doma vše, ale tohle album je jejich nejlepší. Pro mě určitě v Top10 alb všech dob !!!

[keile61]

immer noch super, obwohl ich es schon jahre kenne, sollte mal tarja covern, wäre interessant wie das dann klingt.

[jezkn]

It started promisingly - The combination of 40,000 overpowering watts of the Gratefull Dead and Kari's angelic voice is a great notion. BUT it then goes astray. It gets very winey around 3.22 with a scratchy sounding guitar lead with what appears to be a Norwegian Troll lumbering blindly through it and there are some other dreadful sounds towards the end (as at 4.00 and 5.20). Basically there is too muxh band and not enough Kari.

More divine Kari + less band = success

[daylightghost2009]

@jezkn you my friend, are an idiot. Thank you very much.

[jezkn]

@daylightghost2009 I take your point. My only surprise is that it has taken two months for this response to come! However, as I am an 'idiot' you wont want to be my 'friend' will you? I will concede though that the bits from 0.44-.18, 1.56-2.28, and 4.14 -4.52 with Kari singing are fabulous! She is outta this world! And I concede I may have been overly harsh. But it is the dodgy choice of guitar & synthesiser sounds in the section from 3.20 - 4.14 and from 4.50 -end which lets it down for me.

[daylightghost2009]

@jezkn Ok, i admit i behaved like an youtube idiot. The thing about this song is that it covers so many things. I utterly agree Kari shines all the way through but i disagree about the instrumental parte beside a little bit at the end 3:52. 3:20 is amazing guitarwise, the guitar is transmiting feeling, and the bass is covering it all over the place with focus.

[jezkn]

@daylightghost2009 No I fully understand-I would be exactly the same if you criticised a favourite of mine. But you've caused me to listen, reassess and 'open my eyes & ears'! The drumming's great -the melancholy feel is growing on me (typically Norwegian maybe?) and I like fuzz guitar lead from 2.48. I'm still struggling with synthesiser lead at 3.20 & 4.50 but then I was a synthesiser player so maybe I'm jealous? I LOVE best the contrast between Kari's sweet voice and the bleak sound-scape

[daylightghost2009]

@jezkn It's a great ending too, it can't all be about the voice, the style isn't pop by the way... let it sound in less commotion, let it breath

[jezkn]

@daylightghost2009 I thought about withdrawing my initial comment which was a bit hasty I admit but I've left it cos then people can see how with a little help from others - people can be helped to change their minds and not be so blinkered. This should be the STRENGTH of YouTube (to be educated by others). - but more often than not we start a pointless slanging match don't we? Is this a First I wonder !! We've cut the commotion and we're letting it breathe!

[daylightghost2009]

@jezkn Really awesome to know we can actually talk with someone in youtube. Thank you so much for being so educated and easy to talk to. You should also definitely check Omnio from In the Woods... i would suggest you to start with weeping willow on youtube, then from there onward.

Thanks. :)

[almafiina]

Oh how beautiful music! <3

[MarigoldWendy]

thanks man, i used to love this song so much and today by chance got here just to dive againg into it

[NOSEQWEA]

This song is for die.

[KillTheCupcakes]

Beautiful.

[reidwalldrippy]

AAAH THANKS!

[agarescatus]

How what beautifull song :)

[lastgalacticvoyage]

this is such a beautiful song! hey, pls check out our band, we are still on the process of figuring the right tune for creating an ambient type of music.. just type, "jam experiment video file 3 (feb 2, 2010)" .. you can also check our past videos on my account.. leave a comment, thanks!

[b3r3f7]

i always thought this band was quite dull.

[almafiina]

This band seems to be very good! I love Kari's voice and her songs very much. <3 I think now it's time to get to know The 3rd And The Mortal! :)

[LadyFreeSpirit]

one of my favorite bands!

[pepemordor]

One of the most beautiful and melancholic songs í've ever heard

[vyaghini]

This album is one the best metal/rock albums ever and this song is the best of the album. Talks about what a melancholic soul seeks in love... maybe not an easy listen for everyone

[aldarione80]

A beautiful song and a dive into the past for me, when my biggest problem was deciding which cd to buy next :)

[WhenYourSoulisFrozen]

love it!!

[Handrober]

This band is really good. Reminds me of Agalloch.

[IvoryArtery]

the 3rd and the mortal are all about nostalgia and misanthropy, great sound and feeling

[HeartnSoul99]

Beautiful and an evidence they influenced a lot of bands (here's for example the lead riff theme is 100 % a pre-Flowing Tears or Katatonia - 2 bands I like a lot- one).

The purest form of this band (and maybe for this genre? ProgressiveDoom? )me resides in the two first LPs and in the Sorrow EP .

A Warm Advise to listen to these gems, guys !

Afterall ,of course it is a matter of taste.

Take care.

[rodcrippler]

there's also another amazing prog doom band called Decoryah, you should check them too. by the way, the style of these bands remind me of King Crimson, specially their Islands album

[LostSoulCrying]

when im sad i listen to this album...and cry, cleans my soul to start again with more strength...beautiful...ther'es no words!!

[SuperSK22]

This song makes me so sad. Everytime I listen to it, I think of .... someone special.

[candlehottie]

I was a child when this song realased!

[R19n11R]

I had 4!

haha

[TheFiddleMan94]

wow this song is Indeed a beautiful song.. Awesome..

[NemoUtopian]

this album shows that they were more then the sum of their parts.after the singer and the rest of the band parted ways i do not think they ever reached such a heights again.

[pepemordor]

It's sad that they changed the style. The laters albums are shit

[WintersRequiem]

beautiful song...

[luigibenitez]

One song only! a wonderful singer!...Kari Rulz!!!

[epistemes]

this song resume the feel of an entire age in music!!

[amrooo1]

10 years ago i was listening to this song and i'm still doing :)

[giblankn]

Me too! it brings to me so much memories....

[connected1914]

@amrooo1

same here bro...

damn miss that age

[R19n11R]

This is will be, maybe, my second favourite song during my whole life!

(Yeah, you know, the first always changes...)

[Dunkelreich]

I remember lonely days when I sang that song over and over again...

[greycookie666]

this song is just marvelous marvelous <3
