I just had a baby yesterday (mother's day) and I'm in the hospital with her next to me. This was the first song she has ever heard. . . played on my laptop with this video
Love the part at 2:51 when the melody is getting more sad and beautiful , his voice becomes so hypnotic....and we see Mikael doing brutal vocals on the video ... the contradicting images that come to mind...it can't be put into words this feeling
This songs eerie progression leaves a deep feeling of longing and lonliness. The way Opeth manage to portray such a variety into their music is just amazing..
I love the feeling Opeth's music brings... A profound melancholic sensation... It's not sad at all, it's even strangely cheerful in its own way... Either way, I love it.
Aside from the song being jaw-droppingly beautiful, I love the 'camerawork' of the video. A lot of it isn't even that complex, but produces a very cool and fitting effect.
I'm not normally a fan of these sort of tribute videos but i must say, this is something great and not just because it involves Opeth. I really like what you've done and how!
Also, I didn't know the song before i saw this and now it's one of my favourites of Opeth and i'm trying to learn it on guitar so very good work!
one thing i cant get is why these songs weren´t included on the original bwp, or if they were made after the release, why didn´t they save them and put on the next record? these two great songs doesn´t deserve to be left out in the dark
Seen Opeth four times, in three different cities, always without lopez on drums... It isin't gonna sound like what were used to cause a change in drummer is a huge sound for any band, but I will give Mikale a chance... He's never let me down musically before.
opeth rocks. i really hope one day lopez is playing music in another band.
The best picture was in 3.57, i almost cried when i saw it, the song has a beautiful ending but most of all this was a great video, thanks for posting
It is almost moving watching this now that Lopez and Lindgren have left, especially the end of the song. We wll miss you Lopez and we will miss you Peter
I've tried playing this, the first is a ridicioulisly easy song, but still so beautiful, and this song is the same. Long live, Opeth! Long live Mikael Akerfeldt!
I lovee this band... but in my opinion the songs like this are much better for me than metal songs... dont kill me for this...:) When I hear the voice of their slow guitars I close my eyes and relax and a feel so good...
most bands copy off of them so theyre one of the best out there trust me as a bassist i kmow these guys are original and can play like theres no tommorow
Amazing song... if only they added this one and Still a Day Beneath the Sun to Damnation it'd been more than a perfect album... it'd be indescribable! Hail Akerfeldt!
yeah dont post comments unless your sure your right. FACT patterns in the ivy is a track on the special version of bwp with the song also still day beneath the sun also a awesome track.. 2:43 is so strong it makes me shudder.. thanks for posting.
Its sad but Martin Lopez suffers a very dangerous blood disease and had to leave the band cuz he got very sick and couldnt tour with his band and now the drummer is replaced by another one from stockholm whpo is a kickass but obviously not like Lopez.MAY GOD BLESS LOPEZ.
actually, this song, along with "still day beneath the sun" were recorded in ackerfeldt's house, by himself. although yeah its an "opeth" tune.. he writes everything anyhow.. check out that song too!
First off that is a great video. I am a newer opeth fan for like 6 short months of listening to them. And at the end it says we will miss you lopez. I say "what happened to lopez? If anybody knows let me know.
Shame they cut this off Blackwater Park. Great song. I know they released a special edition with this on it, but I don't have that version.
