Lyrics
Blank face in the windowpane
Made clear in seconds of light
Disappears and returns again
Counting hours, searching the night
Might be waiting for someone
Might be there for us to see
Might be in need of talking
Might be staring directly at me
Inside plays a lullaby
Slurred voice over children cries
On the inside
Haunting loneliness in the eye
Skin covering a secret scar
His hand is waving a goodbye
There's no response or action returned
There is deep prejudice in me
Outshines all reason inside
Given dreams all ridden with pain
And projected unto the last

Akerfeldt Lindgren Mendez Lopez Wiberg on a stellar night during a stellar chapter of their career. Might be their peak. The people in this audience are lucky.

[@Wishpool]

My favorite Opeth lineup!

[@koniu666]

It's true, man. That chapter never can be recreated. But know, it's experience.

[@SOGNAMETAL]

I was there, at the first row slightly at the middle-left, I was 19, it was one of the very first concerts I attended alone and abroad, and one of the best top 10 concerts of my life now that I'm 35. Magical cosmic night. After the show on my way to my hotel alone, I actually couldn't go back to sleep so I was wandering alone in the streets, I can tell you that after a gig like this one, something inside me is completely dead, leaving more space to something new, Opeth changed this in me, making that jump from my teenage era to my adulthood more unique and elegant in so many levels. I can also add that my musical schizophrenia became more enjoyable.

An absolute masterpiece. After I found out my first ex was cheating, I wrote a song musically inspired by Windowpane. Never finished the song, met someone new. Seven years later, similar situation and so I’m back, trying to finish a song I started writing a decade or so ago. Opeth look after me on my hours of need. Thank you 🖤

[@voodoochile6796]

Don't you mean In (your) Time of Need?

[@Rkitt8]

This is the song that got me hooked on Opeth. I was in my teens somewhere when Damnation and Deliverance came out and I just wrote them off because some guy my ex was seeing liked them. Then I heard Windowpane and was blown away that such a heavy band could take it to this level. I remember my life and perception of art in music changed that day. Greatest band ever.

Hours of Wealth is probably my favorite, but you can’t go wrong with any of those tracks. Harlequin, Grand Conjuration, Baying of the Hounds. This is the only band I can constantly listen to and never get burnt out on them. Soooooo good.

Words can't explain what this song makes me feel

[@ritualentertainment]

This concert means so much to me because I was given a backstage pass to hang out with the band before and after the gig after I emailed their manager and begged for one. I was the only person to get a backstage pass for that gig. As I walked into their room the door opened and someone walked out before I could walk in. I didn't realize it at the time but it was Steven Wilson. I only have one photo of me with the guys, but the person who took the photo messed it up because they didn't focus the camera properly, so it's a bit blurry but you can make out everyone, including the silly fanboy grin on my face! XD

I wish it had more prog songs like Windowpane though. All the others songs are verse/chorus. Windowpane bridge is long enough to escape this category.

My favorite Opeth track ever. The entire "Damnation" album is a gem, but that track is just... awesome. I'd love for Rick Beato to do an analysis video.

[@ztlo0lolol]

For anyone trying to find the intro track here, it's Popol Vuh - Mantra 2. It's from the same record as "Through Pain to Heaven", the intro to Lamentations' B Side (and most of Opeth's live acts)
