Face of Melinda - Opeth - Instrumental

By the turnstile beckons a damsel fair
The face of Melinda neath blackened hair
No joy would flicker in her eyes
Brooding sadness came to a rise

Words would falter to atone
Failure had passed the stepping stone
She had sworn her vows to another
This is when no-one will bother

And conceded pain in crumbling mirth
A harlot of God upon the earth
Found where she sacrificed her ways
That hollow love in her face

Still I plotted to have her back
The contentment that would fill the crack
My soul released a fluttering sigh
This day fell, the darkness nigh

I took her by the hand to say
All faith forever has been washed away
I returned for you in great dismay
Come with me, far away to stay

Endlessly gazing in nocturnal prime
She spoke of her vices and broke the rhyme
But baffled herself with the final line
My promise is made but my heart is thine

@mrdeathamore Thank you for your comment on my cover of an amazing track. This was so much fun to put together, more Opeth to come from me. Thanks again

I love how it takes 4 guitars at once to cover an opeth song accurately, even with as badass a player as this guy

[eezerian]

@kotapainting Thank you for commenting on my cover. The parts are wonderfully written as with all of Opeth's music. Hail Mikael.

more to come soon

Dude, this ist INCREDIBLE, my jaw is really dropping down on the floor... I would record vocals to it, but it actually would ruin your work with my questionable voice, it really doesn't need any...

[eezerian]

@maynard789 Thanks maynard, I'm glad that you enjoyed my cover. Regarding the vocal thing, quite a few people have asked for no vocal line so for the next cover I make I might upload a secondary identical video but with the vocal part removed. Thanks again for watching and commenting.

u had some off notes in the beginning with the classical, but WOW when you started with the electrical were you off! And by off i mean your tuning was pretty bad; it was not the same as the classical and it was too high. Other than that, nice job mate!
