So, what are you saying...Orchid is stupid? :confused:[/QUOTE]
I don't think that's what he meant at all.

Anyway, [I]The Twilight is My Robe[/I] has got to be one of the greatest songs that Opeth has written.

So I downloaded a video of Opeth's concert at Wacken Open Air 2003, and at around 13:50 minutes into the video they played a song I didn't recognize, even after listening to every single Opeth song I have. Was wondering if anyone knows what that song is?

Where did you download it from?

Well, it's possible it was a cover or one of their bonus tracks or something, but more likely you just don't have all their albums and so didn't recognize the song.

you could post some of the lyrics?

So this morning I woke up, looked out the window, found it was snowing really hard and everything was covered in white, and was happy. Then I remembered I had Morningrise in my CD player so I turned on Black Rose Immortal and proceeded to be even happier.

Which Opeth album do you think is most suited to snowy weather? To walking in a forest at night? To walking in a forest at night in snowy weather?

Forest at night - Blackwater Park.
Snowy weather - Morningrise.
Really heavy rain at night - Ghost Reveries.

I can't explain why. The albums just make me think like that.

As for me...

[B]Orchid[/B] is foresty. Remember when Opeth used to be called forest metal back in the days? xD
[B]Morningrise[/B] sounds like the rising sun.
[B]MAYH[/B] is a hot, rainy summer night.
[B]Still Life[/B], I can't explain. Something along the lines of running through a dark, misty moor xD
[B]Blackwater Park[/B] [I]definitely[/I] sounds like an autumn album.

I'll just stop there. Opeth are a truly unique band. I don't know any other bands that can conjure up such great imagery in their music and lyrics.

[QUOTE=Morningrise][B]Blackwater Park[/B] [I]definitely[/I] sounds like an autumn album.
[/QUOTE]

I agree, especially with songs like Harvest and The Leper Affinity. They just have this Autumn-y feel. Blackwater Park (the song) actually reminds me of a rainy day on a canoe in the middle of a misty lake. I don't know why but that's just where it puts me.

I think the Inferno Festival setlist was similar, so it was probably Advent. I might be wrong though. If you listen to the song, did it have a really cool bass sliding part at 3-4 mins into it?

Fuh?

No, I'm saying I underestimated it. I had tracks from it at first, and thought they were meh. It's growing on me more now.

I may analyze Bleak for a health project. Be rather funny to see what happens when I blast that for my 65% rich Jewish school. :lol:

Does anybody know what that song is about, by any chance? I'm horrible at lyrical interpretation...:(

You get to analyze lyrics for a health project?

Yeah, you're right... it was Advent! :cool: Probably like, the only Opeth song I didn't know. Such a cool song, too, can't believe I've missed it. Thanks!

Blackwater Park, definitely best to listen to this in autumn/winter. Same with Orchid and Morningrise.

The song BWP always makes me think of this kind of swampy dark place full of really big ominous trees, a little like the album cover.

Yeah, I think the album cover really suits the title song. It sounds like the most "evil" song Opeth has put out. At least to me :p

Hehe...it reallys has some asskickin' riffs...that's actually the first Opeth song I heard and I was like "badass" from the opening to the end...BWP is a pretty dark album, music-wise, if ya ask me...

If you had the choice, who would you guys have record a split album with Opeth?


I think Agalloch would be insane with Opeth.

This song is obviously about him killing someone. He describes the approach:

"Moving, I am moving closer to your side
Luring, you are luring me into the night
Crying, who is crying for you here
Dying, I am dying fast inside your tears

Plunging towards bereavement faster yet
Clearing thoughts, my mind is set"

Then, he sets up for the kill:

"Devious movements in your eyes
Moved me from relief
Breath comes out white clouds with your lies
And filters through me
You're close to the final word
You're staring right past me in dismay
A liquid seeps from your chest
And drains me away
Mist ripples round your thin white neck
And draws me a line
Cold fingers mark this dying wreck
This moment is mine

Help me, cure you
Atone for all you've done
Help me, leave you
As all the days are gone "

Then he does it:

"Night fall again
Taking what's left of me
Slight twist, shivering corpse
Ornated with water, fills the cracks
Clasped in my lims by tradition
This is all you need"

And he watches as their tears fill their wounds as they die, "clasped in my lim[b]s by tradition".

I hope this helps.:)

Txus. I love thy Opeth lyric interpretation you've posted for "The fun thread" and Bleak. Consider writing up an entire album if it's not too much of a hassle for you. I'm interested in reading them. xD

After reading the lyrics i think its about someone with a terminal disiese, specialy in this part:

"Devious movements in your eyes
Moved me from relief
Breath comes out white clouds with your lies
And filters through me
You're close to the final word
You're staring right past me in dismay
A liquid seeps from your chest

he's denying it but its killing him, you can see it from the description "mist ripples round your this white neck, and draws me a line, cold fingers mark this dying wreck, this moment is mine" people start to decay when the're dying, they get thinner, paeler (sp?) and their extremities start to get less blood.

I'd say he's killing a woman who cheated on him.

Oh, I always thought he said "the summer days are gone"...

Far from masterpiece. :)

Songs like the Leper Affinity, have way better riffs, and lyrics, and vocals etc.

Bleak is an average song to me, it has nothing that really jumps out and grabs me.
