Katatonia - Saw You Drown

[Cloroformuleta13]

My favourite song

[Vasiliy230]

Best song from the best album. Masterpiece

[Dimrain48]

I like how chill this music is, it's relaxing but gives you that cold and dark feeling at the same time.

[youstoletheinnocence]

There never was an album like Discouraged Ones and There never will be one like it. Sick riffs, feels like they're slitting your throat and Jonas' 'diseased' vocal makes it even worse.. Aggrhh!!

[lloydcutner]

I really cannot wait to see them in the Heritage festival with Opeth!!

Love Katatonia for ever

[ASeasonInDecay]

This song is so fucking awesome. Saw Katatonia live...best show EVER.

[Gambitheart]

every song of kataonia is written with the darkest emotion and depression one can feel so beautiful yet so powerful

[Groundzerocorpse]

Katatonia's best song ever!!! =D

[Aenrel]

don't you know

I'm the end of what we'll be

and right below us

the last thing you'll see

[MrBucket0fries]

i hear the sadness in this song.... but its the music that catches me... its fucking great.

[thecenturyegg]

iv only ever heard 'city of glass' by these guys, but thought id take a look at theyre other stuff...and found this ... and WOW, this is one the most awesome mysterious, songs iv ever heard.... now im off on my travels to find more stuff by them ...i know now within 5 minutes that ill be listening to this track all my life. wow

[pessimism420666]

pain

[fuckmehardersideways]

Best thing they ever released allong with D.O.D.S.

[Caleidoscopio0]

17 people drowned themselves into pop music

[Fatgnomeable]

I saw you drown outside my window. I Cry'd.

[knokkelmann11]

best era of this band

[DrSoltberg]

This song sounds so incredibly horrilble...

In a good way...

But still disturbing and so cold...

Best band in the world...

[TwilightIndustries]

@DrSoltberg

A lot of the old Katatonia stuff has that vibe - the riffs sound strangely dissonant, but they're still really enjoyable to listen to.

[Fatgnomeable]

K/\T/\T0N!/\ (L)

[MisDatosFalsos]

i don't like this song... is to good to be written by humans

[Mrcastleskeep]

This song gives me chills. I don't want it to stop.

[XZIBIT256]

492 people know what good music is.

[alienhell663]

16 people have drowned.

[Valikiyro]

@alienhell663 or will be drowned.

[trouzercoff]

Listen to the music for christsakes !!

[LuxeXx]

The beginning of this one is amazing...

[sdb111]

SSSavio, without soldiers... well never mind, you are an idiot! From, a soldiers wife! Land of the FREE because of the Brave!

[sdb111]

SSSavio, without soldiers... well never mind, you are nuts!

[Eabatu]

Why is there self righteous pussy ass hippie anti gun talk on this songs comment section? Go away you cowardly delusional twats, no one wants to read your short sighted grandstanding.

[Apocol0id]

@Eabatu "short sighted grandstanding"...good song title.

[ShariValo]

even better live!

[GodheadsLament]

@ShariValo

Seriously! Saw 'em in Montreal on Sunday and this song was definitely great.

[MrMrisaac]

no, without people wars cannot exist

[Vasiliy230]

Discouraged ones is the best album of Katatonia. And may be, one of the best albums in history of music.

[come2u2cu]

damn that open minor chord in the prechorus rocks my world!

[erenxbjk]

if there's no war, how could america sell guns?

[wiserthanwise54]

@erenxbjk how about China,Russia and many more countries selling guns! How about those who buy them! Stupid argument ! If there were no guns,people would kill with rocks! Guns don't kill,people do!!!!! Enjoy the music !

[milesmarvin22]

so atmospheric it haunts my head

[TIMMAYMOFO]

For some odd reason this song makes me wanna do some herion and nodd out listing to it on repeat, this song makes me think of alot of things, fucking love it!!!

[mramrmaiden]

love this song they rock ma mood

[knokkelmann1]

so good. pity, the latest of their stuff is shit. anyone remember october tide?

[peterlazy]

@knokkelmann1 : latest stuff is shit??? what have you been listening to?? To me evetything is good singe ''discouraged..'' latest works seem to me more Dark, heavy and even powerful but also deep and emotional...anymay..it's a matter of preference..

[Diegonihil]

October Tide......niiiiice! but i belive their latest stuff isn´t that bad. My favorite: nightmares by the sea....................plain great!

[Emilowitzch]

@Diegonihil Nightmares By The Sea is actually not theres but Jeff Buckleys ;)

[fredvain]

october tide is going to record a ew album i think xDD

[PanagosGr33kG134EVER]

sad but beautiful song

[absolom9]

linkin park? lawl.

[666Butterflies666]

Listen to Loneliness by Drowning

[leetpotato]

MTV is not music. You dare compare it to this, you are so unbelievably blind. Wake the fuck up

[KoldMannDamm]

I'm going to cover this song if I ever get a band together

[lordchaoz]

best song on the album. discouraged ones is the best album ever, for me. i just love it.

[dickeybrian9]

last fair deal gone down great album chrome is my favorite song from them is that a older album your talking about

[startraveller01]

it's been many years since i heard this song, actually got out of the scene after a while, but it remains a great song (but still depressing).

I have this album somewhere ... don't remember where i left it

[mikedeg13]

drown in alchohol, every time i hear this.

[coffear]

Like most of their songs this is absolutely amazing.

They seem to have a knack for producing great doom.

[destien]

fcking amazing song

[crosboid]

This album is fucking amazing. Shame about everything from Viva onwards, but they're still a favourite of mine.

There's nothing else out there like this. It stands alone, a monument to awesome depressing power.

[tonywill21]

what album?

[metalmusi]

true that man

[Katsuoish]

Rare, unique. =)

Be sure to check other songs also, Deadhouse, Brave - Murder - Day.

<3 Katatonia

[alishacail]

beautiful

[GTxPIT]

My love ballads!

[jonnyno4]

Katatonia is amazing

[smebrash]

war is raw at the mirror, but with the r at contrary

[GingerbreadGenocide]

Beautiful music.

[Amaria4]

this song....i dedicate it to a dear friend of mine that got drowned not so long ago....this song....hurts....

[T3hMilkman]

You dedicate this song, which you had no hand in creating, to your friend who "got drowned" eh? That pool of water still nearby?

[cradleoffilth6664]

Your an ass

[T3hMilkman]

I'll give that insult a thumbs-up.

[Amaria4]

what the hell is your problem? i didnt create this song, but i SURE can understand it the way i want! Isnt that the point of making music? the word 'dedicate' in my language has more meanings than the one you thought of. ..unbelivable how rude people can be. i DO have a friend who ACTUALLY drowned earlier this year. he had a lot of stains on his life, and noone will ever know if he commited a suicide or had an accident. we all knew about his problems, we 'saw him drown'. thanks for the insults.

[HellishWolf]

Sorry to hear that, and as an artist and musician myself I can say that when I write a piece of music there is a certain meaning behind it, for me. It is certainly not going to mean the same thing to everyone and I think it would be horrible if thats the way music was. Music is a beautiful artform open to interpretation.

[7omnia7]

Beautiful song anyway.

[darkfieldsofme]

what. a. cunt. hope to see you drown one day.

[jonnyno4]

You didnt make this song, so don't dedicate it to people. And i dont think this song is really about someone drowning, its probably a metaphor

[Amaria4]

i am perfectly aware that it's a metaphor! but this is how i feel when i listen to this song! its such an absurd feeling when you listen to it and you know someone who really drowned and yet the metaphoric lyrics fit his story! and whats wrong with that, people? i didn't try to steal the song, god damn it, and i'm not a pathetic little liar who just wants to tell a story, just for the sake of leaving a comment.

[NeoXF]

@Amaria4 My condolences, but this song isn't really about drowning...

[crashkidd34]

care to say what you think it's about then?  after all, the lyrics go: in the water, i saw you drown

[Krondelo]

@crashkidd34 Its symbolic.

[godmodule12]

i respect this band alot

[likeastonesolo]

really nice song

[3revi555]

wow, that is their song :)

[Another888One]

I love this song and every song from KATaTONIA

[Guitarhero2005]

This song is just beautiful

Katatonia are fucking amazing, there is no doubt about that x

[diefinga]

this song is awesome

[blackfkgmetal]

my buddy drowned 15 years to this day. hard to fight back the tears listening. what a fkn killer tune.

[plastixdisaster]

sorry to hear that -hugs-

[tecna64]

my best mate died protecting me in combat in Iraq, i was wounded and i couldent get up and if the convoy got past everyone in the first humvee woulda died so he pushed me back, jumped on the IED and saved the humvee and me, ill never forget him for that, and the military will either since he got the medal of honor the day he was flown back to the states and i gave his wife the stars and stripes flag, hard moment to endure but it gets less over the years, he died 5 years ago

[rxangel18]

The terror and sorrow given to you must be put finally to rest. There may never be a day when we humans come to accept the finite nature of life, it's provisions, and it's theivery, but I will hope in MY heart that one day, we will the travesty we cause each other in our most derranged of hours of severe wanting.

Peace be with you.

[SSSavio]

I respect you and your friend. But war sucks. End all wars, without soldiers wars cannot exist.

[glsplitter]

listen to someone who has given up.

[LivingBeyondReality]

it is proven, that before mankind reached a specific density, no human was killed by another human.

[graverobber245]

lol wut

[Vote4Frankenchrist]

Wars exist merely because of opposing opinions, not just world wars.

[bobgarbage]

opposing opinions? lmao. try big business.

[0ChildrenEater0]

@SSSavio End all wars by killing all people.

[marutowashere]

@0ChildrenEater0 I'll happily help out with the killing of people! In my mood, that would suit me just fucking fine.

[Apocol0id]

@SSSavio Soldiers don't cause war. Politicians do. Countries do, when they want something from another country. If there were no soldiers, there would be conscription of regular folk to make more soldiers. As long as people don't see eye to eye, there will be war.

[oliverAP13]

@Apocol0id dont forget the bankers

[BecauseHuskyAsked]

@oliverAP13 Ah, beat me to it...

[BecauseHuskyAsked]

@Apocol0id Bankers do...

[metalman2255]

@SSSavio I cant wait to go into the military, I plan on fighting and paying the ultimate sacrifice so you can continue to have the freedom to say that soldiers are useless. As true as that may be, there will always be people wanting to kill you. At least respect the people fighting and dieing for your rights.

[metalmusi]

@metalman2255 you are not fighting for no one's rights. you people who do war, do it because you love blood, you love to kill... all the war that is going on in the world is because economic interests that only matter to the most powerful man on earth, to keep enslaving us all through fear and capital.

[metalman2255]

@metalmusi True, I do love to kill, and I cant wait to take that first life, its wrong but then again I dont give a shit and human life is expendable, it always has been, even I am expendable

[metalmusi]

@metalman2255 That's right... and I dont care if you like to kill or not, but If someone goes to war, he either is too naive to think he's going to fight for his people's rights or he likes war...

[metalman2255]

@metalmusi And what if he was drafted. And guess what, it aint naive to think that you are going to fight for peoples rights, you are. Without our military we wouldnt even have a country, we would be under the control of Europe still

[fuckmehardersideways]

@metalman2255 The only people violtaing the rights of American citizens theese days is their own government.Not to mention that since America has left the control of Europe they have basically been in a cycle of gross social inequality followed by a major economic crisis that leaves everything in ruins.Sorry. I do believe that war is a necessary evil though.for self perservation at the very least.

[fuckmehardersideways]

[sh1tpickle]

@SSSavio thats retarded,soldiers are good men to the core,they go out there risking lives and limbs for their country and fight with honor

[Kreator613]

@sh1tpickle lol most soldiers are fucking stupid and 2 faced. just watch the news. but hey, thats america for you.

[valmont1602]

@Kreator613 jaja well let me tell u, that u are wrong my friend... I dont know where u are from and i dont really care, but soldiers aint no stupid, i want to belive u dont know how army works, to be a general, a captain, a master chief or whatever rank in the army u need a carreer in some speciallity area, u just can go there and star killing people... jaja need to expand your knowledge way more than TV man

[Ciferz]

@valmont1602 You automatically lost any chance for someone to take you seriously because you can't even spell one sentence properly. The use of "jaja" also makes you sound like an idiot. :)

[sh1tpickle]

@valmont1602 jaja,my man,jaja...

[PontusLP]

and you were there to what, give people flowers?

soldiers get killed, if you don't want friends to die, don't join the army and make em avoid it too

war is retarded, sorry about your friend

[WhenTheSunHits123]

Uh this song is too beautiful. Discouraged Ones is such an amazing album.

[arthmag80]

Great song! Great picture!

[Dearmirror]

bla bla bla, stupid bitches, this katatonia song is great, i recommend try the Fragile Hollow cover. Katatonia, Anathema, Pink

Floyd and Marillion are the best bands forever, hails from Peru katatoniamaniacs!!!

[MarauderU]

man... ouffff... katatoniac..

[staticpeoplemusic]

well muffinman if an idiot like that is rude and disrespectful to me you best believe i'm gonna cut into him.

regardless katatonia is fucking stellar and i really dig the hell outta this song.

cheers

[rotheee]

anyway ... this band .. song .. is outstanding

love em

[staticpeoplemusic]

i'll tell you what limanai4evah..your just another useless youtube geek who's opinions count for shit...so why don't you go play in traffic or for that matter suck a cock faggot

your mom sure did haha.

or i could break your nose irl pussy want my address???

test me i dare you..didn't think so ...just keep hiding behind that computer screen nerd.

[themuffinman001]

dood, by making it so important to pay him out..you defeat the purpose of your post.

[PurpleHillSeeker]

What I ment was you were right too be mad but the language just doesn't cut it

[ScienceOfSkullFuckin]

You really don't sound like a badass over the webz... Why can't the world just fucking live and let die? I mean just because you don't like what someone says doesn't mean you berate them with hatred... Fuck... I wish people would grow up, you give fans of the band a terrible name by acting like that...

[domydishes]

Dont worry, puberty will be over eventually.

[blackfkgmetal]

like

[seblass2008]

'como me gusta esa pinche cancion, katatonia es lo maximo!'

Hahahaha Aribbba Sparky

[staticpeoplemusic]

this album helped me through a very difficult breakup and very painful time in my life..anyone who can't respect this can fuck off

[Limani4evah]

who the fuck cares you idiotic piece of shit about your stupid emotional girlish breakdown?

fuck you and your worthless life u piece of shit.malaka

[domydishes]

Dont worry, sometime you'll experience a relationship too.

Probably.

[elpornero53]

everyone's got their "pain" album.respect.

[coaren2]

No truer words spoken.

[brokenmach1ne]

These vocals sound ridiculously close to Jon Crosby of VAST. Great nonetheless.

[decembersoul84]

como me gusta esa pinche cancion, katatonia es lo maximo!

[juli12l]

does anyone know more depressing music?

[EmperorNija]

Indeed...check out Hypothermia, Durthang, Lifelover,Silencer or Xasthur.

[Ullish1989]

i wouldn't call xasthur depressing...definately not similar to this

lifelover are fucking great though

[crosboid]

I'd say Xasthur are depressing, but not in the same way. Xasthur are awesome though. Nocturnal Poisoning is a great album.

[neuicon]

Are awesome? Hee, Hee. Xasthur's one dude, and he's out in the cold depressive streets of Alhambra, California.

He's good, though, in all honesty.

A friend of mine said he saw him in a Forever 21, and when he asked him about it over MySpace, Xasthur deleted his account. Funny shit, if it was true.

[crosboid]

Xasthur is a band name, so "are" still stands. The artist's chosen monicker is Malefic. Also Xasthur used to have a drummer.

[neuicon]

Haha, checkmate.

I'd still prefer to see one-man bands as just that, a one-man band. But hey, don't think I was knockin' him, or you for that matter.

[rybojaszczur]

try Anathema and Antimatter

[BrutalTortyr]

If you are more into dark metal and like swedish music there's stuff like Shining, Livsnekad and Anhedonia.

[apfelbrot2]

the sandman song

[crosboid]

Shining. A bit more Black Metal than this but still very good.

[stinz0r]

"Why, this is clearly technical industrial viking vomit black doom death purple BAGEL metal!"

Just listen to the song if you like it :( Don't try and determine the genre! :)

[crosboid]

Actually I do try to determine the genre because this band went from being unique to adding in elements of the nu-metal sound and bits of other commercial rubbish.

I like to avoid most metal genres with "core" in the title as they comprise mainly of people that think they're in a hip-hop scene, with all their designer-wear, emo side-partings, "dope"-speak and stupid retarded "ninja" mosh pit twattery, not to mention music that is basically weak rap-metal with 5yr-old-angry-at-daddy lyrics.

[maton123456]

God, this doesnt help when you're depressed.

[maplerrr]

No, doesnt help U.U

who wants to be happy ???

[crosboid]

No, it doesn't Most people that listen to it aren't really depressed.

Then when they get depressed they can't actually listen to this stuff.

That doesn't make this bad music though.

[ukkopekka00]

Where's the bw photo from? I'd like a high res version if available.

[robertcarlyleobe]

its more like shut the fuck up and enjoy it

[DoomMarco666]

Dooooommmmm!!! Great band

[InvaderRaccoon]

Who the fuck cares what genre it really is? Katanotia is great, that's what they are.. call it whatever the hell you want to.. it's just words. They will always be great.

[apfelbrot2]

yikes! this was one of the most non-understandable albums back in '98 but as it semes no one here was a keeper of the time so actually do me a favour and STFU! fags

wolud ya?

[Spicmir]

I love this song .

[savagepiercer]

suicide rock man...fucking genius

[DarkX21345]

How's the genre music sound to you guys? This is just that. Music. Everyone is gonna label it a million different ways but in the end; Its just music; Wonderful, calm, relaxing, beautiful music. =]

[StAngersucks]

Well, this is not that much metal. It's more like Porcupine Tree-styled progressive rock with some goth and metal influences ;)

[itsthatsebguy93]

no your all wrong its mysterious-dark-swedish-death-­lonelines-metal-rock-core

silly pepole

[WulfraN]

i don't think it must be "depressive rock" only because wikipedia tells me...

[Fooanton]

this is clearly the genre of "mysterious-dark-swedish-pine-­forrest-lonelyness-rock"... DUUH..

[Silverbluecrest]

your wrong man its mysterious-dark-swedish-pine- forrest-lonelines-metal

[cherrybelly999]

...beautiful.....

[soadxxseetherrox]

man this is true depressive rock. these emo kids today prolly never heard of katatonia. it'd be best if we could keep it thta way.

[crosboid]

Sadly with the event of Viva Emptiness onwards this won't happen.

I'm willing to bet though that 98% of those evanescence, Taking back sunday, Linkin Park-street boys fans actually wouldn't listen to this stuff if they heard it, because they wouldn't get it. It's not watered down and commercial enough.

Fuck the mainstream. It's referred to as a stream as it implies shalllowness.

[soadxxseetherrox]

they wouldnt listen to it because its not on mtv. people don't know how to fucking find music anymore. mtv doesnt even play music.

[dylanjobu]

@crosboid Linkin Park rocks i guess that means im one of the 2 % =D

[crosboid]

winner.

[uometako]

@dylanjobu ...Linkin Park...? Come on... well, I respect everyone likes! Rock on dude

[OcToBeR321]

every katatonia's album are masterpieces !
