i remember buying the album the day it came out and first listening to this song. its nice and all but i was a bit worried that the album would be shit.......then i listened to the rest of it and came to realise that this is one of the best opening to a metal album ive ever listened to
Lorichs and Axenrot are really friendly, I hung out with them at a rock club in Stockholm for one night, screaming along to Alice in Chains and what not, she even bought me a beer, good times, good times!
The male host is such an embaressement, his thoughts and prejudices shines through all too well. There's another clip I saw of him when there's this reporter talking about a book containing forbidden love/gay content, I don't really remember.. It's a blast to watch that guy however.
I don't understand what the girl says at the beginning but you can just tell she's looking down on it... You have to look down on metal, or at least talk about it with a mocking smile, if you want to avoid being judged by the public, right? Just like kids have to say bad things about rejects in elementary school to stay on the ''good side''. Correct me if I'm wrong... but if this girl is actually doing just that, she can shove her personnal CD collection up her ass... Especially the box sets.
@ucanleaveurHATEon They're not explicitly making fun of it, but they're clearly awkward about it and they clearly don't get it. They also go on about how these songs are "special versions", even though they're perfectly normal songs for Opeth.
@Blast8Bits Sorry . Think we're lost in translation here. I was being ironic and was asking who the black girl at the very end was. She's not a member of Opeth but appears very briefly. This is not a negative to the bands talent nor their politics of non-whites in the band. I just thought it would be funny. Please folrgive me!
morning tv show? hmm, sweden has midnight sun, probably that explains a band like opeth there. anyway, i'd like ANY tv show where i could watch something like.. lucky people, tv , in my country, is useless for metal fans, or even for people with some brains..
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
fans, any of you watching this, and any of you who are "true opeth fan's" know that this song is totally cuuuuuut to shit because of the TV promotion, they have no 3 min songs...and you all know it...quit being upset, click on a better opeth link, and relax =)
@421Roger last time i checked, coil clocked in at 3:11 on my hard copy of the album, in fact they have a few songs that dont even reach the 4 minute mark. Requiem even goes for only 1 min and 10 sec.
@421Roger Dude, the song isn't cut. Also, Opeth has several songs shorter than 3 minutes, like Patterns In The Ivy, For Absent Friends, Madrigal, and others that are way shorter than even 5 minutes. Coil is 3.27 long on the album version.
Love the song, but dislike the use of the keyboard here, it sounds artificial and tacky. Also Mikael's lyric writing is a bit iffy sometimes, i mean "field of sorrow" and "ocean of sorrow" (Burden)? He can do better than that, come on
@crankyyoldman It would sound extremely empty without they keys...its pretty hard to just get a string ensemble out of nowhere for a 3 minutes performance...know what you mean though.
Love the song, but i dislike how the keyboard is used here, it sounds naff and artificial. Also i dislike Mikael's lyrics sometimes, i mean "fields of sorrow" and "ocean of sorrow" (Burden) just sounds so naff
I have a *little* knowledge of the language. I think she introduced Opeth as a death metal band, but she didn't mention this song, just the band's genre in general.
@salkkarisekoilija did someone claim this was death metal or are you just showing the world how ignorant you are? which one is it, tell us, please, tell us!
@muntgonefishin did she say a death metal song for sure? maybe she said death metal band? or maybe even 'a death metal singer'? I do not understand that language at all.
Personally, I think the lighting and camera angles fit the mood of this song perfectly... It's so intimate... sensual... Mysterious even. The close-ups suit it perfectly.
god i hate the presenters they had such a patrionising looking on there face befor the song even started. but then they heard it and there minds exploded.
Nathalie is Axe´s girlfriend. truestory, god akerfeldt said it.
