OPETH - "Hjärtat Vet Vad Handen Gör" / "Heart In Hand" (OFFICIAL VISUALIZER TRACK)

[@TBlackDouglas]

I'm swedish, but had to take a few minutes to adjust to the awkwardness of hearing, and actually understanding, Opeth in swedish. Swedish lyrics works quite well, I even prefer them, and I see why you might like them because they appear exotic and mystical to non-swedish speakers. Both versions are absolutely great though! Så Opeth, fortsätt med fler svenska texter, tack!

[@rehannoor4961]

yep but i feels like swedish version is just better with this opeth.

[@nielsenjesp]

You know. All these complaints about the growls are gone on different social media places. Personally, yes, I do miss them. But I love his clean vocals, and I'm ok if he never does them again on a studio album. The only thing I really missed, was riffage. Metal riffage. And this new song definitely has everything I love. Heavy riffage, awesome songwriting, beautiful acoustic parts, tasty leads. The whole package. Amen.

[@MorusAlba1975]

The problem is not the clean vocals per se, but that bombastic vibrato ("ayayayayay") that has dominated the last two or three albums. These "clean" vocals are very different from the clean vocals on older albums.

[@birdshark6230]

For a long period of time opeth was my absolute favorite band. I saw them for the first time in 1999 at a little tiny venue in Detroit called the i-rock night club, touring black water park. I got to enter the club really early because I know the owners and soon found myself sitting at the bar with all 4 of them. Drinking Budweiser, smoking cigarettes and watching americas funniest home videos on a shitty little TV set mounted up in the corner. They were all laughing, I will never forget that. Got to talk to them for a good half hour. This is when Peter was still with them on guitar, and Martin on drums. The real deal line up there... I have a vhs copy of that show that someone had shot and I some how got ahold of a copy. But I believe you can actually view that show here on youtube if I’m not mistaken. I discovered them a few years earlier, I think ‘96 or ‘97 and they changed my life. Especially the first couple releases. Orchid and Morningrise are masterpieces. I’m sad to say that I started to loose interest around the watershed period. I love all sorts of music, but I got lost when they’re transition to prog came into play. Not that I’m being negative, but it just doesn’t feel the same inside. Nonetheless, some of the most talented and inspirational musicians ever to pick up instruments. Mikael is a musical genius.The earlier stuff will always hold a special place in my heart. *Black Rose Immortal...

[@CristianHernandez-tr1jq]

I'm chilean sorry my english, I have to say your story is exactly mine. for me Opeth was magic since 1997. I lost some interest in the watershed period too, and when heritage came out It was so hard to listen opeth in that way. not bad but not opeth any more. I love earlier albums too.

[@birdshark6230]

No worries my friend. I’m glad that we can touch on some common ground. I’m with you. The early stuff is just magical...

[@RohannvanRensburg]

Man I don't get this. Watershed had more experimental song structure but Ghost Reveries was THE prog metal album, organ and progressive ideas all over that record. Damnation was like a modern Camel record. I genuinely have trouble understanding this.

[@stevo19991]

This is just a tasting and I'm already in love, finally Michael singing in Swedish which sounds better and more natural than English, this song is indeed heavy with those opening chuggy riffs and melodic chord progressions and that outro, perfection. There is no bad Opeth albums

The outro is for sure the best part. Very tasty and pleasent.

[@fazeatworld]

This mixture of classic, a very smooth lovesong, free Jazz or something like that and "normal" Jazzrock all that played with such technical and musical virtuosity let me buy some more albums... And now I switch over to my BAND-MAIDs, who are touring through the USA, to look after some new fancams. In spite of my pleasure, to listen to old stuff, I´ve been always interested in new bands around tha world, and now I landed in Japan, with that huge Rock Music Scene and lots of groups. I come back, when I find some rare stuff in my LP shelves. Many regards from Joki.

I love everything Opeth has released literally ever, but this...this was just fucking awesome on a level that I wasn’t even expecting.

I hope Mike the Music Snob make a review of this song 🤘 Btw love the song, the swedish version more but the english version has the clear vocal more on point to me.

Nothing can beat that excitement to listen to a brand new Opeth song..... Opeth is and will always be the all time best prog band....

When I was young So, so much younger than today It seemed easier to lead your life There was no time to surrender And no reason to perceive The burden of pain As it passed through our lives every year somehow And it never (really) went away Yet behind my door Was a kingdom A secret outline showed the way To treasures of clay And beads made of glass
