Katatonia - Departer

[ScowlRegis]

Wow, great video. Favorited!

[shardikat]

Did Krister Linder do all vocals on this song, or did he and Jonas share singing duties?

[shardikat]

@shardikat

Never mind, I figured out where they switched. :P I can't believe I didn't realize before.

[enclosedcomplex]

it's pure beauty.....

[Harakoa]

... What can we comment while listening to this, I ask you...?

[Tr4y3r]

This makes me feel like dying. :(

[danimerol]

nice job man... do you make this kind of video to any band?? how much?

[DarkBlackPoizon]

So beautiful song and video ...

[BloodyVlaja]

my love....

[wallysun71]

speechless



[deepakvedavyas80]

No matter how old you are, in 5.28 minutes your whole life events passes in front of you like a documentary making it almost ethereal... this creates a pure introspective atmosphere, what a beautifully crafted song !!!

[muntificator]

I found this song on my brother's anniversary , i'll admit i almost (-almost-) cried.

[biez71]

PRFECT SONG!

[NightSanctuary]

Nice video.

[Gkats5513]

@MajestyOfDT Mate, that's a great video!! Well done!!

[ahatelover]

is this true?!

[AssChavez]

I can't believe that Katatonia and Opeth will be 10 minutes away from my house in 4 days (On Halloween Night!) and I have to miss the show. Why? Well its my daughters 1st birthday. I can't miss that. But fuck, I'm still torn. hahaha, she'd never know...

[Gkats5513]

@AssChavez Family is everything...but I understand your dilemma. Anyway, best wishes for your litlle girl!

[Soilwar]

@AssChavez: Dude, fuck Opeth and Katatonia then.

[plantera7]

@AssChavez I missed Ozzfest one year because my wife passed a stone. She was drugged up and sleeping...she never would have known. Or would she?

[AssChavez]

@plantera7 Yeah, good call. Well, I obviously missed the show, but I made my daughters birthday of coarse.

[satanschild1974]

@AssChavez dude i caught that same tour in denver co. twas fuckin amazing!!

[Gkats5513]

Thank God we still have Katatonia

[Ecoscienceczar]

Krister Linder.... Nice

[9rmetal]

8 people should depart of this earth

[ChriosM]

Who sings the "Brother" part? The voice reminds me of Steven Wilson of Porcupine Tree.

[Ecoscienceczar]

@ChriosM Krister Linder...

[The61616112]

WoW WoW WoW is this beautiful song ... Greetings from Perth, Aus Kat fan flippin come to Oz (for a proper lead tour not just a indi festival)

[daimonionen]

Astoundingly good! This strecthes the limits of how good a song can possibly be. And I'm surprised that I actually think Krister did a better job at the last half of this song than Jonas could. It's like it was made for him to sing.

[fistpounder]

@daimonionen

Both their voices suit this song perfectly :)

[dlkrdlkr]

I just hugged my speakers ... -_-!

[CrazyMetaller95]

this song is fantastic!!

[Hessianoct]

This song reminds me of Gattaca...

[Reqcell]

This is the song that shed light for me of Krister Linder's brilliance.

My one of my favourite songs in the album!

[lancasterdrummer]

Awesome song, even better album.

[theMetalProphecy]

the lyrics is amezing

[ilsZombie]

That was a really beautiful video!

[kosilubenov]

i have never heard a stronger lyrics

katatonia lyrics just bang you from the floor leaving you speechless, helpless and your eyes full with tears

[Fraustt]

@kosilubenov Couldn't agree w/ you more man.. powerful lyrics.. and they only become more and more deep w/ each album

[TOTALDARKNESS06]

una de las mejores del album y sin embargo a veces es opacada por promise of deceit o la misma forsaker!!!!!!

pero el album es exelente de principio a fin!!! y esta cancion es una masterpiece!!!

[miserableforastero]

simplemente hermoso... es una obra bellisima

[xxminaxx1]

for ALL those who LOVE katatonia TRY this BAND

[BeefSatan]

i almost cried...

[indigo19923]

i honestly dont know what im here to do. i know i am strong enough for combat, i am skilled in the art of war, yet i have no side, no reason, no allies, and all who i once knew, loved, and trusted are dead and gone, or MIA. and i am alone. so i devote my life to a few kind souls. and i will defend them in the comming year. without fear and without faulter. its just who i am. i cant die so i must defend.

[supershiva11]

@indigo19923 That was one of the most depressing paragraphs I've ever read. My heart goes out to you. Remember that theres always someone who cares about you.

[CaptainPie5]

@indigo19923 what a badass motherfucker you must be

[Fraustt]

@indigo19923 what the living fuck does this have to do w/ this song dude seriously?? what are you on

[TheProggirl]

This is a very nice song of them,I'm not a fan,but really appreciate this.

[nunosa11]

Great video! This song is brutal.

[katatonia93]

greatest song i've ever heared, it's just amazing.

[crestfaIIen]

@katatonia93 if you like this one then you should listen to their song "unfurl" as well. :)

[9rmetal]

[linkinn18]

I almost cry...

[DRXn24]

This song is so awesome! And Krister Linders vocals... Ah, brings back memories from 1994 and Dive... He was just as amazing back then! Check out "Coming on Strong".

[monpeful]

[TheDiaryofpain]

[TheAncientMetalhead]

Face your Fears and pierce the Night!

[DarkSasori1]

THIS IS ART! :)

[StayHL]

[perkapop]

At first this was not my favourite but now I can't stop listening to it. Strong lyrics and music. Totally mindblowing, makes me cry.

[9rmetal]

departer

the journey of our lifes

man if katatonia play only this song i never get bored

this song is epic

[Fraustt]

@9rmetal totally agree man.. this song never gets old..

[bakariz]

One of their best songs - if not their best. I really enjoy listening to it! Also one of their best albums in my opnion.

[TheDiaryofpain]

einfach nur geil....

[startofsthbeautiful]

BEST LYRICS:

BROTHER - IN YOUR EYES I WAS THE STRONGER

SO HOW AM I TO COVER YOU NOW

WITHOUT SHADOW IN YOUR PATH

THIS TIME - I WATCH FROM THE SIDELINES

YOUR GHOST IN THE LIMELIGHT

FACE YOUR FEARS AND PIERCE THE NIGHT

SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL !!!

[FromDimmuLand]

@startofsthbeautiful Mm, this to me speek of ancient brothers, Kane and Able, or Enlil and Enki, God satan, what ever, one was over the other..

Before they Nuked the entire planet ofcourse...

[deliriocculto]

@startofsthbeautiful

great man!!!! I fuckin agree with you!

[kispankum]

when the voice is going higher my heart hold on a second

[azariablack]

simply beautiful

[rocknymm]

i love so so much.....this song....

the best song of katatonia....

i cant stop listen this song.....

[momoxbox]

really amazing video .. :)

[goatkiller665]

thank you katatonia for singing this song about everything i wanted and needed to say to my own brother.......i love you both

[ditzydumbelle]

there actually aren't words to describe how i feel about Katatonia. Everything they create is a masterpiece and Jonas is one of those true geniuses who don't get receive proper recognition for what they are capable of. But I quite like it that way, because their gigs are small and intimate and absolutely beautiful.

[spottytroll]

Does anyone know of any bands that release full albums with songs like this?

[startofsthbeautiful]

@spottytroll

Oh yes, try KATATONIA, PORCUPINE TREE, OPETH, RIVERSIDE, PINEAPPLE THIEF.

Never a dull moment on their albums ;-)

[GunToThaHead]

Katatonia don't know how to make music that sucks, thats for sure. I have all their CD's and EP's, every song by them, and I can honestly say there isn't one song I don't like.

[Textrybal]

you should contact them and produce their next video. Day & Then The Shade was horrible (the video, not the song). Excellent work!

[goatkiller665]

Thank you once again Katatonia for such a beautiful and inspiring peace of music. I miss my brother......I love my brother.....

[TheAngelusSilesius]

amazing video to one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard !

hope I'll create such a lovely tunes someday !

[insulaspark]

@TheAngelusSilesius One of the most beautiful thing I have ever heard..

You know I just love that comment on a song like this.. each to there own eh.. lotsof love to you dude/dude'es.

[TheAngelusSilesius]

@insulaspark

I fell in love with this song from very first listening - I was driving north with headphones on and I heard this song.one of my favourite songs ever:-)

[wejder44]

you are a genius! it should be the official video.

[omerdrow]

Did he lose a friend or a brother? He mentioned the month of July in two of his songs in terms of departure and abandonment.

[saadkhayoom]

Beautiful!!! :)

[9rmetal]

epic ending for night is the new day man what an album thumbs up 4 katatonia

[FromDimmuLand]

I want to know if there is any Ancient story behind this Album !

[9rmetal]

@FromDimmuLand maybe

[deliriocculto]

I can't stop to hear this! Maybe this is one their best song, very sad and tragic, it's the journey of our lies xD

[OhanaLefay]

Simply spectacular song! The video perfectly synchronized with the music. Perfect for those evenings.

[deliriocculto]

best band of the entire world

[Malwen777]

@deliriocculto totally agree :D ♥

[IrwinJR1]

This video is legend ! I love Katatonia and Krister Linder ! well done MajestyOfDT :)

[Jmadman311]

Great song and great video!

[Misanthrope1989]

Great video, not too sure about the song though. Maybe it will grow on me, the rest of the new album certainly did!

[069Nugget]

Wow ..... Chemtrails . Any way This is such an awesome song.

[069Nugget]

If you play this song two at a time at just the right time apart it sounds very good.

[lysander69]

this video is retina searingly good.

[Sorvali]

what a pity they don't play it live!

[Lefeits]

@Sorvali

About one month ago they played it live in New York at the start of their US-Tour...together with Krister.

[Thewakerules]

one of the most beautiful songs ever written

[Anti5aint]

This song is just so beautifully depressing.

[1981north]

second voice is Krister Linder

[ColdMourning]

@1981north  Enter the Hunt is fucking brilliant.

[Anoraqnophobia]

@1981north ...and he totally rules this planet!

[Malwen777]

I... I just love Katatonia!! ♥

[TheWildestGuitarist]

Love this song and nice video :D better than officials...

[thomaster87]

hauntingly beautiful

[Narc0ticDev0ti0n]

This song live is so much better...they did it in NYC with Krister Linder the other night.Fucking INCREDIBLE.

[makemebad35]

@Narc0ticDev0ti0n I wish they did that when I saw them in Baltimore =(. It was their first show so it was pretty rough.

[Narc0ticDev0ti0n]

@makemebad35 It was a one time deal :P Krister Linder is living in NY currently, so ya'know.

[Kaulen777]

While listening to this song, I just want to go to sleep and not wake up...

[scottishbabefe]

sooo haunting - love it

[donnie2110]

amazing

[hubertson93]

This is a proper piece of art. The only bit I dont like, is when the song ends.....

[aj2001832000]

can any one tell me who the other singer is??

[aj2001832000]

@aj2001832000 Krister Linder.. AH.. AMAZING VOCALS there.. Incredible.

[krazefool]

Brother, in your eyes i was the stronger,,,

so how i am supposed to cover you.,

without shadowing your path,,

this time,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I WATCH FROM THE SIDELINES,,,,,,,,,, A GHOST IN THE LIMELIGHT

[Darkreaver21]

mipws xereis kai an prokeitai na xanarthoun ellada kapoia stigmh gt exw xasei ligo epafh me sunaylies kai ta sxetika...thanks

[Darkreaver21]

mipws xereis kai an prokeitai na xanarthoun ellada kapoia stigmh gt exw xasei ligo epafh me sunaylies kai ta sxetika...thanks

[S0v3r3ign69]

to be honest listening to this melody I decided to mainline some heroin. i think was a great idea and it felt good.

[krazefool]

I Watch From The Side Lines,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[S0v3r3ign69]

sounds a little suicidal isn't?

[vageloukos]

@S0v3r3ign69 to me it sounds like he lost a close person of his, a "brother"...

[MERIROSVO14]

It`s so hard to visualised these movements , riffs and sidekicks without the silence that moves so slowly goes away... just to go stronger

Masterpiece...

So you can be master in sleep...

Deep...

[Svyx]

Krister Linder's voice fits perfectly with Jonas. :)

[Qsqurr]

Sometimes people even express one's own emotions are smokin while listening to this song into one of them works

[Frequency666hz]

It's not often you see a homemade video representing a song better than an official one :D

This video is breathtaking, keep it up

[ChristinaDarkRose]

If you don't like this you're a heartless,emotionless creature.

[82002]

This song makes me wanna go look for a suicide.

[S0v3r3ign69]

@82002 well that's the point

[slashmole]

damn this is better then the official video for Day & then the shade.

[Conmikewolf]

@slashmole aye, the day & then the shade video is.. well.. not that good.

[arixtcify]

i listen to this album all the time while taking the train (njt)!!!

[jianflock]

amazing song

AMAZING VIDEO...PERFECT

[anesthetize7]

Breathtaking. Amazing song with an even more amazing video.

[SebaZoneDG]

Excellent work

[nonickworks]

hey guy, WHERE did you capture this footage??? i really have to visit this places, soooooo beautiful <3 and btw, great work dude!!! :)

[darkangelme333]

Mesmerising!

[heavendissection]

Beautiful song. It would be great to know some background to the lyrics, anyone got some info on it? Why was it written and such intel.

[Finsterforst]

@heavendissection I heard that it is about Jonas brother, who passed away. Krister sings the part of his brother, Jonas his own, of course. It is so much more emotional and depressive if you have that information, imo.

[heavendissection]

@Finsterforst

You know, I kinda hoped it wasn't a real story, I mean, it makes it even more beautiful in a sad way, yet when you know it's someone's death and someone's loss, you wish it was imaginary.

[atmospheric88]

check out my test recording vid if you like this style, full songs to come! (insert blatant self-promotion here) youtube.com/watch?v=2cPHsQ0Cb3­Q

[Kongir9]

With those pictures & Krister Linder's guest vocals, the song is just amazing.

[xsvp8ntball]

just love the song(: and the band who has made these great songs
