"Somehow" (w/ lyrics) by Woods Of Desolation

[@radketuck]

One of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard.

[@-enferum-7973]

this music makes you realize your not alone in this world feeling hopeless

[@counteldamar5135]

It picks up that dreadful emptiness and scatters it among the woods... momentarily flying on the breeze

[@Abstracto107]

5:46 is literally the entire life flashing before your eyes, all the joy, grief, sadness, happy and bad moments going in one huge crescendo of time and space and literally enveloping your soul in this existence... it represents the limbo of letting go and trying again for the last time, the despair and hope, that constant clash of the storming thoughts in your mind, and the end is not defined, I like how it all just ends like that, and that is also how life began, like that it will also end. All is a lie nothing lasts, but memories.

[@michaelrozett5016]

i know this is kinda strange, but iv always found this instrumental really uplifting. its like walking through a storm, in a good way

[@LOWLIFX444]

Me too, untill i saw the lyrics. Then this instrumental became really sad to me.

[@p.inside]

the mol chords make you feel that way

[@anastasiaftw5454]

Literally was just thinking that

[@Everblack96]

Am I alone crying like a little girl at 5:45? Too powerful. This is how you end an album

[@QuindianaJones]

Everblack96 that ending feels like you're watching something you love burst into flame and vaporize in a fiery blaze..

[@Desolate97]

Everblack96 You are right, this part is absolute masterpiece.

[@Vulnikov]

No, you are not alone with that

[@danielsaldanha1520]

It's so sad how much depressive metal makes me happy.

[@Varksmal]

its not sad, it is what is it ... this kind of music put me forward

[@helenagabriel6407]

Depressive metal is like a medicine to our uncomprehended brain and soul .

[@codythomas3678]

I find comfort in depressive metal

[@codythomas3678]

I used to blast WoD while dusting out at work. I died right before this song came on. The CEO of the company came in and saw me out on the desk. His wife shortly after joined. They checked for a pulse. No pulse and unresponsive I was told. I remember the experience well. I was outside of my body watching everything. The panic, ems being called, everything. I was physically face down on my managers desk. I blacked out and next thing I know I was looking at my own body. I listen to this and smile knowing I’m not that guy anymore

[@penguinisnotracist8440]

@@codythomas3678 Yeah right...

[@PCDominatorX]

Fucking Australia I swear to god, just when I thought we didn't have a metal scene. Also does anyone else feel that when they are depressed/angry/upset that listening to depressing music is better than something cheerful? I felt with happier music when you're mad is akin to just pretending your emotions aren't there

[@francistremblay8098]

totally man, music like this heals my soul when it bleeds

[@themetis666]

You just don't need to listen "not yours" kinda music. Especially when you are mad or upset.

[@krlosz1996]

to be fair, that particular melody at the end of this songs feel like you're transcending existence

[@LeśnyDziadyga]

Somehow, when I listening to "happy" music i feel more depressed and upset than listening to DSBM..

[@ThePreludeOfSorrow]

Agreed 210%. Gotta love Atmospheric/Depressive Black Metal.

[@willemvantuijl2413]

5:45: Time to say goodbye... Love this record.

[@abyssalcontemplation9167]

Grey visions of today Every sight I the same I can not break free I think I'm gone As though I never wake Always drawn into descent And my hope decays, just out of reach Cursed through life & condemned to misery To be left with nothing... If only for a moment; a way out To see the faintest glimmer amongst the dark To mend the broken dawn so bleak Somehow I think I'm gone But like ashes to the wind i will fade Nameless and Forgotten The thorn upon the withered rose Somehow I always knew...

[@dakotahope599]

[@MrDraven37]

I've been having that moment the last couple of weeks when you stumble across an incredible band you had never heard of before, all the while they were in your own backyard, and you realise how much you have missed out on and the catching up you need to do. This band.. wow.

[@memememememe7748]

+MrDraven37 agreed, now I want to find out who D. is

[@Schwarzstern]

+memememememe I think he calls himself D. because he doesn't want to be found out in private. ;)

[@Nebelweiten]

+EliteBlackMetal That's the same thing Vratyas Vakyas of Falkenbach experienced. The more artists try to stay private, the more people try to find out who they are. To be honest, I myself am always very nosy and poke around. I'm happy my curiosity was satisfied, when he puplished a picture with the last album.

[@brandontadday6288]

The clean vocals are pretty reminiscent of John Haughms vocals from Agalloch. Also, that crescendo at the end is amazing.

Samw here. U are a true warrior. Fck the world and society. Be strong dude.

[@MoribundWanderer]

This song always reminds me of a dead friend. Everytime I listen to this song he comes through the "somehow I always knew" sentence. Seems like he really always knew and one day found a key to a way out in a shape of a bullet. Well, my friend, this is not a music you've been listening to but it characterizes you. And every rakia is in your name! ...somehow we all know but realize too late...

I'm really fond of the part that starts at 2:13 and lasts for about a minute and a half, one of the best things in DSBM.

This shit remains my favorite. Thick and thin. It connects real deep y'know? Hits you deep in. Before it ends you got attacked by onion ninjas and have to wipe your eyes. Never heard a song that just straight up grabs your soul and holds onto it. Its a shame D hasn't made any new music. He's clearly talented and been through some shit. Shit sounds completely hopeful despite your emotions already running high with the sadness of it.
