Lyrics
Beating
Heart still beating for the cause
Feeding
Soul still feeding from the loss
Aching
Limbs are aching from the rush
Fading
You are fading from my sight
Break of morning, coldness lingers on
Shroud me into nightmares of the sun
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
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
Night fall again
Taking what's left of me
Slight twist, shivering corpse
Ornated with water, fills the cracks
Clasped in my limbs by tradition
This is all you need

Discovering Opeth at 61! There's still time!

[@robertwalton7565]

@Jevgeni Chernov I'm seeing them in concert in February. Small venue too. Should be loud. I came across them because I was a child of 70s prog and was interested in modern prog. Turns out I like their use of the death growl too (although i did a little research on its origins to better understand it).

Will you be my grandpa?

[@aarons720]

Damn man, you must have made some real evolution in your tastes. I'm jealous, you were alive with Led Zepplin and Jimi Hendrix were starting out, might have been a young lad. But you've been around for all the greatest bands I've wished I could see in their prime and grow up with. You were alive when Black Sabbath was just getting started. Now here you are, listening to Opeth..... I think Metal is on the decline though, when I'm 61 I'm betting I won't be discovering great bands like Opeth, probably some Electronic Dance Music or some Dubstep shit will be all there is then. Hope I'm wrong.

[@robertwalton7565]

@@aarons720 There will always be Simon and Garfunkel. Life is as much about re-discovering things as it is about discovering. Metal was something I never went near as a teen. Led Zeppilin was as heavy as I got. The last while has been about checking all the bands I didn't listen to. There was a ton of '60s psych to catch up on because I too young for it at the time. The '60s and '70s is like a bottomless pit of good, but obviously there's a lot of great stuff in the last 20 years as well. It's why we have ears. And yes, it was an incredible time to be listening to music. Luckily, listening to Dark Side of the Moon, or Led Zeppilin IV for the first time is just as as incredible whether it's 1972 or 2020.

[@infall_blackmetal]

same. i only found out about them like 4 months ago due to a youtuber by the name Ola Englund, huge part of the guitar community and owner of Solar guitars, he was always talking about them in his videos so i had to look them up and this was the first song i just so happened to click on and the first time i heard that intro riff i was hooked. it was like entering a whole new world for me, the only prog i had ever heard was Tool and while theyre good, they just dont click with me like Opeth does, there is so much more power and energy behind their songs than any other band i think ive ever heard. after i listened all the way through i was just in shock and awe, i think i listened to it on repeat for the next 7 hours and its still as surreal of a listen now as it was the first time. this band is life changing and is the reason i pick up a guitar.

Opeth has had a hold over me for the last 2 years and I still can't fully wrap my head around Bleak. Any Opeth fan knows it's incredibly hard to choose a favorite song, but there's always been something so RIGHT about the composition of this one. The guitar parts, however many they are, just flow so perfectly from one section to the next. And that bridge before the final chorus? Oh my God, how is there so much going on and it all sounds so...unified? It's like there's only one instrument being played, and it is creating all of those sounds all at once.

Those have long been my go-to choices whenever I'm craving metal that does a lot of genre bending, but I need a break from my Opeth records. lol I find that the some of the fretless bass and melodic choices in Beyond Creation really bring me back to Morningrise / Orchid-era Opeth, but filtered through a MUCH more technical death metal lens. Their first album is especially great if that sounds appealing. Cheers!

The ending 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@UndeadSasuke34]

This album stands out in Opeth discography, because it was not only produced by Steven Wilson, but also mixed by him (he mixed only this album). Blackwater Park is the most full and dynamic sounding album of Opeth. The level of detail put by Wilson is astounding. In my opinion, in a song/album, composition is only 50%, producing/mixing/mastering is the other 50%.

I really wish they would remaster orchid through MAYH. Especially morningrise and MAYH because those are masterpiece albums that suffer from mixing and production. Also Ghost of Perdition is pretty well mixed and produced and can hold its own with Blackwater park, but I get what you are saying.

6:00 best James Bond theme song ever

[@jcdenton616]

The dynamics on the guitars are absolutely incredible! It really creates a dark atmosphere which I really enjoy! Any more songs like this one?

[@DogmanOffical]

Dirge For November Is really good.

[@toprak3479]

Just listen to the whole album.

@@toprak3479 I have since listened to all of their albums and this is now my favourite band of all time.

@@jcdenton616 I own all 13 albums. I started on my Opeth journey with ghost of perdition and a few songs from sorceress album. Eventually sometime passed and I was exposed to burden and to bid you farewell and finally face of Melinda and I knew I had to pick up all their albums. And here we are almost two years later and I’m a fanatic. Number one band for me and it’s not even close.

Wonderful! Majestic piece of progressive death metal. The riff and the main line at 3:14; the progression at 4:25 (with that constant line of the electric guitar, in the background); the smooth changes at 5:05 and 5:21; the reprise at ​6:41, with the main line revisited at 7:20 are just amongst what is most beautiful in this world.

[@marcoramirez642]

6:41 is the best... but why do you consider it a reprise? Which previous section or ideas is the basis to make it a reprise? I do not get it, always thought it as a unique part on the song.

THIS TRACK IS BRILLIANT LIKE EVERY OPETH TRACK

[@filippians413]

6:01 Hey now, you're an all star Get your game on, go play Hey now, you're a rock star Get the show on, get paid And all that glitters is gold Only shooting stars break the mold

Steven Wilson sounds so goddamn god in this tune

[@Stargazerz]

This is the best fall season album ever. I have memories of skipping school and riding around listening to this album and looking at all the foliage.

[@Thrashaero]

i love the distorted and weird guitar tones in the intro, the chorus, the background whine...etc.

[@Arrkane]

6:40 is probably my favourite Opeth moment. So beautifully layered.

[@JonD62688]

One of my favorite songs ever

[@iffpsv2752]

What songs do y’all Opeth fans suggest? I’ve only listened to this, Leper Affinity and Ghost of Perdition. I love Mikeal’s screaming so that is my preference.
