[sasoulas]

0:31 Listen to Al Pacino saying "Where's the booze? Flowin' like mud around here" Movie: Scent of a woman

[astralsleeper100]

2:14 go mikka!  R.I.P. metal brother...

[N1ghtW1sper]

"Nepenthe" was a potion of forgetfullness."Ne-penthe" = "Νη-Πενθες" = "No-Mourn".

Introduced by Homer in Iliad,it was a potion given to Helen of Greece by a witch,to forget the slaughter of her beloved,Paris of Troy, by Achilleus.

A potion to forget a death,a love,any sorrow of life.

But to forget the pain of losing that one true love,one must also forget who he is,his past,his dreams...

I wish a potion like that existed,i'd drink a whole barrel of it...

No "Nepenthe" for me,always in pain...

[th3warr1or]

What was said at the start of the song from 0:30 to 0:33??

[187cyco]

@th3warr1or

"Where's the booze?

Flowing like mud around here!"

It's from that movie with Al Pacino where he's a blind man. I think

[th3warr1or]

@187cyco

[Sentencedgr]

@Paokara1926Salonika Nepenthe is a collection of poem's, a "book" like you said, with many poems... I searched them all... I dont think that these lyrics are taken from there... if i dont bother you, copy and paste the specific parts so that everyone can see the thing you are claiming.

[Spartan307]

There can only be one Nepenthe. Great song !

[jerusalend]

Hello from Peru i respect this band Mika see you some day

[apxeli]

And when you are american, you probably don't know how this song is connected to Finnish culture as a whole.

[ShowNoMercy502]

Care to enlighten us?

I know that Nepenthe is a reference to Greek Mythology, but I don't know much more than that.

[Rofllmaolol9]

Finnish people kinda like to drink, a lot

[ShowNoMercy502]

Oh, I knew that

I didn't think the song was a direct reference to Alcohol (I did think about it multiple times, but I wasn't sure)

but yeah, it's true. They really like to drink. It's kind of a tradition.

[Rofllmaolol9]

and to measure how much is a lot, is that in sweden if someone dies to acohol, it's called as "Finnish Suicide"

[Shawaeon]

It was originally some sort of drink with opium in it and the name means "the on that takes the sorrow away" if I remember right. But here it simply means booze.

[ISadAsdI]

yeah wikipedia says: "The word "Nepenthe" first appears in the fourth book (vv. 220-221) of the Odyssey of Homer. Literally, it means "the one that chases away sorrow" (ne = not, penthos = grief, sorrow). In the Odyssey, "Nepenthes pharmakon" (i.e. a drug that chases away sorrow) is a magical potion given to Helen by an Egyptian queen. It quells all sorrows with forgetfulness."

[mihmann]

Nepenthe (nipenthi in greek) is when you stop mourn for something

[Sorgutentarer]

Ne Penthos = No Sorrow, it's an elixir from one of Homeros' books if I recall correctly. Makes you forget all sorrowful memories and be happy when you drink. These days we call it "drugs".

[FeistyAngst]

Thanks for information)

[PlippPlappPlopp]

Who is Miika?

Sry, but I don't know much about Sentenced, only that the Music is great...

[drullu]

Miika Tenkula. Guitarist and song writer of Sentenced. He made 99% of Sentenceds music and died of alcohol overdose couple of months ago. R.I.P.

[PlippPlappPlopp]

Thanks...

How sad...!

*don't know what to say*

R.I.P.

I love the Songs of Sentenced...

[kkzFlame]

[pundewhee]

RIP Tenkula. This is their best song.

[edgeofdrama]

It's incredible to watch the young Miika play in this video. I'm so shocked of the news. He was a wonderful gutarist and songwriter.

[metalkings4]

R.I.P Miika... \m/

[perfectintervention]

R.I.P. MIIKA TENKULA

[zephyrous7]

such strong feelings in just one song! incredible!

sooo drink to forget, and drown all your sorrow, bury your dreams...

[ferdinardos]

great songs back in the past .full of melodies,verse ,chorus, solo.

[dragonbringer]

poooooo poooooo

[forafewneedlesmore]

beginning of the end for this sad bunch after the awesome "north from here" album . Basically them trying to be the next Type O or Paradise Lost ... after this I reckon they became bubblegum pop or something with that truly awful vocalist which came right after Jarva ... thanks for the killer bass on Impaled Nazarene's Ugra Karma though ...

[PekkaSaauri]

Well if you call Ville Laihiala an awful vocalist compared to Taneli Jarva then you perhaps missed the music lessons at school!

"Think aboooouuut" ... it's hard to keep a serious face though the song is good and his voice fits in here.

[St37One]

this song reminds me so much of "under the runes" by Bathory

[apxeli]

Im glad that somebody recognize the connection. It's almost a ripoff from bathory.

[batbomb43]

no its not they sound nothing alike u tone deaf asshole

[apxeli]

Truth hurts, does it?

[apxeli]

...so drink to forget and drown all your sorrow. :P

[doramason]
