Opeth Double-Song Episode: The Wilde Flowers & To Bid You Farewell | The Daily Doug (Episode 208)

#Opeth #TheWildeFlowers #ToBidYouFarewell
In this episode of #TheDailyDoug, I'm reacting to two different songs by Opeth. It's #DJDan week here, and he couldn't pick between two Opeth songs...so we're doing them both. These were released by the bands in 2016 and 1999. I really loved this tracks, even though they deal with pretty heavy emotional turmoil.

The greatest description of opeth ever. "20 years later and he's still tormented" 😂

[@guillermovera6523]

Sorrow

[@NegativeS2Games]

By different girls , but yes.

[@JasonParadise]

To Bid You Farewell has one of my all time favorite bass lines. The small touches in it, harmonics and slides, help add so much to the atmosphere. Plus... that entire song build up! Powerful stuff when added to the lyrics. Absolute banger of an Opeth tune. 🤘

[@AncientCampfire]

Jason you are subbed to Daily Doug too that's so cool! Spot on about To Bid You Farewell too. A perfect song

[@benneburg]

The bass in this, sounds like something I'd expect to hear on a Chick Corea album. Probably has a lot of to with the tone.

[@UncleAnaesthesia]

It started my love affair with Opeth.

[@soakedbearrd]

The bass and guitar duet play is the best thing about the song. That fret less bass is so good.

[@alexanderbanggren6071]

I get excited everytime a metal band use fretless bass. Ever since i heard steve digiorgio battle it out with the guitar in "the philosopher" by Death

[@anthonynelson1699]

Man I can't find a single person talking about Still Life. It's the point at which they leaned heavily into their progressive flirtings from earlier works. It's the album that concretely solidified them as "not just another melodic/blackened death metal band." Face of Melinda, Benighted, Serenity Painted Death, man, all of the songs off of it are so amazing.

[@stevehildner5630]

Thanks for the suggestion. I will check it out. Opeth never seems to disappoint.

[@humbertoarceo1821]

Still Life is my favorite album!! it was the first Opeth album i bought, and all the songs are just amazing.

[@PurpleLolipopProduct]

Has always been my favourite album of theirs, brother :,) absolutely transporting experience every time

[@sir_christof]

Moonlapse Vertigo is my favorite song of all time. A timeless masterpiece, just like every Opeth song.

[@williamrobertoalkemadomont1360]

Doug, you have to make an extended play with the album Damnation by Opeth, there are acoustic guitars all over the place

[@PedroRibeiro-sg8jh]

PLEASE

[@SixStryng]

Yesssss!!!!

[@hussamaboud9362]

Deliverance / Damnation !! As they were meant to be, together

[@neonblack211]

There are acoustic guitars in all their albums?

[@guillermovera6523]

Opeth - Dirge for November. I know it is not the proggiest song, but I'm sure Doug will appreciate its dark beauty. And the band Ne Obliviscaris deserves a listen too.

[@rizkyjelang4737]

the live version is unbelievable

[@sovex9331]

Ne Obliviscaris would be fun.

[@Silkki6]

I highly also recommend these songs, great that you've suggested them!

[@jaspergillgannon4991]

An amazing song, but there is way too much double kick in that song for Doug to handle

[@EmpireEnglishSchool]

before heritage this was the only song I could never appreciate can you explain what I am missing?

[@nourgaser6838]

Man.. It's been a while since I've last heard To Bid You Farewell. It's mind blowing how good it is...

[@revylokesh1783]

If _To bid you farewell_ gave you "medieval" vibes, the early albums had *a lot* of counterpoint, where both guitars, and sometimes the bass, played different melodies on top of each other. It's what made me love them.

[@PabloLink74]

It's funny that the first verse on The Wilde Flower starts with "Sun hangs high I turn away" and on To Bid You Farewell it starts with "I am awaiting the sunrise"

[@cubertuner492]

Damn 🥴😂🤔

[@mute7116]

Good catch

[@monikaparmar2061]

This reminds me a line from Closure(Damnation) which goes like "In the rays of the sun, I am longing for the darkness." Man's obsessed with the sun.

[@larsnait]

I will not give up. I recommend once again "Hessian Peel" by Opeth. You will not regret Doug.

[@feliz1984]

[@riccardobassani7405]

I think Still Life has those medieval acoustic vibes too

[@evilpingouin]

I remember Mikael saying that he brought a lute to the Morningrise recording session, planning to use it for some of the acoustic parts. But for whatever reasons, it didn't happen. He talks a bit about it on the Roundhouse Tapes DVD, just before The Night and the Silent Water.

[@goktugdall9060]

Ayreon - The Human Equation album for the long episode!

[@julien2231]

Hell yeah!!!!

[@larsnait]

Beautiful longplay! Beautiful story, beautiful singing, beautiful songs!

[@spaantz]

Ayreon gets blocked way too much for reaction videos. That's why you can only find reactions to "The Day the World Breaks Down". I myself tried to do a cover for In the Garden of Emotions and it got blocked worldwide

[@GeeVanderplas]

I love the progression in Michael's clean vocals. He was always good, but on the early albums you can hear a bit of insecurity and fragility in his voice, while on the later albums he's just full of confidence. I wonder if that confidence played a part in him abandoning the growls...

[@iceddevil2005]

How can You not love "To Bid You Farewell"? It has been my clock alarm sound for 20+ years.... The clean sounds comes from an era, when Mikael was working in the guitar shop and he was selling and playing acoustic guitars, lot of time to create an epic riffs... Still Morningrise is one of my favorite albums.

10:53 To Bid You Farewell is one of my favorite Opeth songs. Not typical for them in the early years; there is no growling or screeching. Just melancholy and introspection. I do love the build at the end when the electric guitars come in, and the ending is just beautifully sad. Thanks for the video!

[@dioxygene]

Your little brother may be a metal head, but he knows how to select the softer songs of Opeth (and the best part of them, even if they are the only group that can make me like growling). Thanks to both of you

[@MustObeyTheRules]

Same. Opeth and maudlin of the well are the only two that I love the “growl” vocals

[@REALwoombath]

How can reply be older than the original comment? Also Haken uses growls sparingly and nicely.

[@VTX666]

Petition to Black Rose Immortal - as something definitive for Morningrise. And for early Opeth. And for progressive death metal itself...

[@3601-c3k]

Black Rose Immortal isn’t death metal in any way. It’s black metal as well as the most of Opeth’s *early* music.

[@3601-c3k]

@Fangalatic I guess you`ve never heard their first 3 albums

[@Rensi37]

@Fangalatic I guess that someone should also explain to Mikael as well, since he himself have talked about being influenced by black metal in the earlier albums.

[@3601-c3k]

@Fangalatic Sure, that’s why Opeth kept appearing on black metal compilations up until 1999. Black metal is a wide genre, it’s not only about blast beats and tremolo picking, even vocals are not necessary, the whole genre doesn’t sound like Dark Funeral or some similar bands. Some bands don’t even use real instruments except guitar and they are still black metal as hell. There is no death metal in early Opeth. Okay, MAYH has some strong death metal vibes at times, but it’s still black metal most of the time. Do you really gonna sit there, listen to April Ethereal or Karma and think “yep, this is totally death metal”?Early Opeth fit black metal perfectly, even with all the folky and proggy elements. Not that it was that much of an argument since Opeth were blending a lot of genres together since the beginning, but calling early Opeth death metal is like calling their latest albums blues. Just no.

[@arvopenaali896]

Early Opeth went hard on the guitar harmonies, both acoustic and heavy parts. After incorporating the keyboard they didn't have to rely on that for building their soundscape.

[@xyhmo]

Mikael said he was tired of doing those harmonies, and for BP in particular he resolved to make songs based on RIFFS instead.

[@EtoDemerzelSpaceBurial]

Yay more opeth! Beautiful bass on that song by Johan De Farfalla. His last opeth recording before he and Anders left

[@margusgrenzmann3977]

Morningrise is still one of my favourites from Opeth. This is such a relaxing song from it, top songs to me are Nectar and Black Rose Immortal.

[@jonathanhenderson9422]

To Bid You Farewell is the first Opeth song I heard that let me know these guys were special. Back on their first two albums they had a ton of great ideas but were often really rough in their transitions, but when they finally figured out how to write coherent songs/progressions they basically became (IMHO) the best metal band on the planet.

Still waiting for "Black Rose Immortal" by Opeth from "Morningrise album". Additionally, I think DJ Dan and Master Doug should try band called "Riverside" starting with either "Left out", "Second Life Syndrom" or "Escalator shrine". Cheers from Poland!

[@nourgaser6838]

I second the Riverside suggestions! :D Edit: (and all the Opeth ones, duh).

Riverside is definitely worth to review. My personal favourite is 'SONGS' album. Musicaly great and definitely the best if we talk about production. Additionaly lirycs is very actual (isolation and separation due to covid times). Cheers from Poland. P.S. I also have been on this Warsaw concert. Great experience.

To Bid You Farewell is one of my all time favorite songs. I learnt the whole song on guitar when I was 18 many years ago. Thanks for the analysis Doug

[@elie6769]

Can you tell me how you learnt it because I want to learn it myself if there is any papers online about it or something

[@relinquished6974]

To Bid You Farewell is an amazing song, if a bit naive and amateurish. Still waiting for Windowpane...

[@Kenlac92]

That was amazing, one of my favourite bands, especially older more emotionally gripping material. I miss your hands-on-piano musical analysis though, I hope we see those more often. Good day sir.

[@JoriDiculous]

You really can't go wrong with more Opeth! And the Choice for this video is really good.

[@JPetr94]

There is a good connection to complete 1996 era - band Edge Of Sanity and album Crimson which consists of single title song almost 40min long. Mikael did some vocals there too. 😎

[@davidhollis1592]

Great song choices - not sure if I can forgive talking over that first guitar solo in To Bid You Farewell - possibly the most beautiful ever recorded imo (along with the chill solo in Bleak). Thanks for the good content!

[@williamreynolds3487]

His voice is also what I love about Mikael (along with his killer songwriting of course). He has great vibrato, a range I can sing in, and screams that I can sorta replicate. Edit: It’s funny that you say the Morningrise recording quality is good cuz Mikael hates that album’s sound quality.

[@robertodamico8081]

I am still waiting on that "..And plague flowers the kaleidoscope" reaction. A song studied for its composition HAS to be heard by someone like you.

One of my favorite Opeth songs. Brings back memories. If you like the way metal bands utilize acoustic guitar - Check out how Blind Guardian remixed "Mordred's Song" and "Bright eyes" into acoustic versions. Just amazing.

To Bid You Farewell is one of my favorite songs of all time.

[@indigoiozzi]

I still wish you'd check Storm Corrosion, being a project by Mikael (Opeth's vocals) and Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree). Any album from the song is great. Drag Ropes for a more dissonant piece, the title track for the chill, and Ljudett Innan for... a different chill

[@dysthymiabearer]

Ljudet Innan is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Those 2 gentlemen, specially Mikael, never cease to amaze me.

[@juanacuna1881]

One amazing thing of Opeth, is the constant reinvention of their sound. When you listen to the early years, with the death metal vibe, and then with the melodic stuff polished by the years, ufff in my opinion is one of their signature. Thanks for the review and comments, keep me up to the end. *Still life, is my very favorite Opeth album, with Face of Melinda.

[@stevehildner5630]

Every time I hear an Opeth song new to me, I am freshly mind-blown. I didn't stumble across Opeth until 2017, and my first album was Sorceress, which was there latest. Not a bad song on the album, but as I delved deeper into their discography it became clear that these guys are absolutely brilliant. Unique as fuck and intensely diverse. Been around a minute, but hit the ground running. One of their songs start playing, that's it. I'm feel hypnotized and helpless to not listen to it. Read an article on them, and, apparently Mikael Åkerfeldt does not know music theory.

[@AlfW]

My favorite Daily Doug Opeth episode after your analysis of Harvest. When I heard on Sunday that you are reacting to these two songs, I knew that you would like The Wilde Flowers and I was curious about your reaction on I Bid You Farewell. However, I don't understand why your brother chose exactly these two but he might have his reasons. All in all, I hope such an Opeth TWOsday will ve repeated.

[@jcdenton616]

These vidoes are utterly fantastic! I love your Opeth and general metal vidoes. You shine a completley new perspective on the music which makes it, for me, a far more enjoyable time to go back and listen to with more open ears.

[@HuckHouston]

DOUG. Now that you have done my all time favorite Dream Theater album and my all time favorite Opeth song, it is time you get to another Metal juggernaut. Devin Townsend - Deadhead, Live at Royal Albert Hall. It may not be the most musically crazy song, but the atmosphere and Devin's vocals (and the lyrics as well) are all an absolute journey. Everyone else that knows, knows. Do it for yourself and others that don't know, Doug!!!

[@thejonathandoan]

13:07 This little change in the pattern of the song - seemingly random and not repeated - is one of my favorite parts of the track. It's one of those inflections that gives you something to latch onto. These sorts of accents to a song are the cumulative layers that make a band great. I love the added dimension.

[@atebouma529]

Doug, I would love to hear your thoughts on Between The Buried And Me. They've recently put out the sequel to their legendary 2007 album Colors. My recommendation would be Ants of the Sky, a real fun rollercoaster. Note that Colors is meant to be listened as 1 full song, divided in 8 tracks (Ants of the Sky being the 5th track off of the album). This means the beginning and ending of the song is very abrupt.

Welcome to the world of music reaction videos. He is actually way easier to watch or listen to than most who constantly pause and talk about any random stuff.

Yesss (making a victory fist), another Opeth double feature. #TheDailyDoug - I hope we get more like this. If I could dream I'd wish for a full album reaction and ESPECIALLY an analyis of their latest album "In Cauda Venenum" from 2019 since there's so much stuff on that album that I'd like to learn more about from someone who really knows what he's talking about. It's Mikael's most advanced and experimental writing out of all the modern era albums mixing so many styles: less 70'ies inspired prog rock, hints of psychedelic rock (pink floyd) and jazz elements, some dramatic classical inspired stuff and so on. I believe you'd really find something to bite into with that album. His vocals is at the highest level on the album. The album is slightly more dense to get into than the rest simply because of some songs with more experimental/complex time signatures. Cheers

It is a 20 minute song, but it really is pretty epic and amazing. It's comprised of so many different parts, and each one is unique. There is even a short acoustic section that they recorded, now I don't know if it was actually recorded beside a running stream or if the running stream was added in but it's unique sections like this that make the song "Black Rose Immortal" so very awesome.
