opeth makes the best melancholy music ever. it's so dark yet very sad at the same time, i love how opeth deals wih conflicting emotions like that and imo the contrast between the extremely heavy stuff and the clean acoustic stuff is what makes opeth fucking godly
This and Hours of Wealth makes melancholy seem beautiful, and to me, it can make my own temporary sadness a source of happiness from said beauty - and once I feel happy, the sadness is no more.
True Story: This song allowed me to get my breathing under control during a really bad asthma attack in my teens. This song literally saved my life. Thankyou opeth ❤
Shit that must have been tough, and I can kinda relate, I used to play opeth when I was having a panic/anxiety attack, don't really know why but i had a lot of those last year
No, that is pretty silly, but I do feel pretty guilty that Opeth came to my country multiple times and I couldn't attend. It would have taken some sacrifices and I just didn't.
Without you I cannot confide in anything The hope is pale designed in light of dreams you bring Summer's gone, the day is done soon comes the night Biding time, leaving the line and out of sight One moonlit shadow on the wall Disrupted in its own creation Veiled in the darkness of this fall Is this the end  manifestation It runs in me, your poison seething in my veins This skin is old and stained by late September rains A final word from me would be the first for you The rest is long but I'll go on inside and through One moonlit shadow on the wall Disrupted in its own creation Veiled in the darkness of this fall Is this the end  manifestation Patterns in the Ivy
He is absolutely a beast. But in the piano/guitar, or two guitars only - songs, the true, haunting beauty of Opeth really comes through. There is a fragile, melancholic atmosphere in their clean creations that I find beautiful beyond words.
Imagine being in the early 2000's and buying that special vinyl edition, later on while listening the album the bonus tracks comes and you've just found out Patterns in the Ivy II and Still Day Beneath the Sun
This is from the Deluxe Edition (2 cd). Second disc has two beautiful songs (this one and Still Day Beneath The Sun). Also has the video for the song 'Harvest'.
Excellent tracks :D i wrote a song that's on the front page of my channel called "The Lonely Harvest" that took some inspiration from the acoustic songs on this album and damnation if you guys wanna check it out. Love this band to death :)
O.C. White whats the video like? harvest was the song that got me into opeth, in fact it got me into extreme metal as i bought bwp only liking harvest at the time, and i made myself listen to the others and i soon fell in love with it
First of all, this is one of the best Opeth songs that they need to release as a single with Still Day Beneath the Sun. Secondly, for the crazy obsessed fans, wow this is very inspired by Nick Drake. Very cool.
That pretty much the argument about blackwater park: ''i liked blackwater park why don't they stick to that sound?'' Now you are saying they should copy damnation everytime theybdo a new album because they are doing music now with clean vocals? Weak argument. Their music is dark and melodic as it always has been even with the new records, häxprocess from heritage has the more heartbreaking outro, strange brew is the most obscure song they have done that sounds absolutely nothing like they have done before in their discography. The good thing about this band is that it explores genre without having limitations with albums that are completely different from one another.
I recommend Nick Drake`s "Day is Done" song, which "Patterns in the Ivy II" are actually based on according to Mikaels interviews (he said that Drake was their inspiration and theese two songs have very similiar guitar patterns in the begginig).
If you ever come back to this page, and made an attempt to see the comments, you will find me saying I love you, even more from the first time I said to you.
Only Mike can achieve such epic levels when it comes to his poetry. Without hearing a song, just reading the lyrics gives you goosebumps, that's how good he is.
I actually don't think Opeth even know how good this song is. This is the most Metal song in the universe. This sounds like an elevator song in Hell...
The thing about this music is that not everyone will get it but honestly it’s not for everybody. Not everybody is blessed enough to perceive this beauty
So Nick Drake:y, love it. If stuff like this and still day beneath the sun dont end up on some of the opeth albums, or even spotify, Michael should do a solo album with this type of stuff. I know hes mentioned it years ago.. what an album that would be

oh my fucking god!!! listening to this after a very long break of listening to opeth or music at all i feel like i heard a new song right here. this piece of art is so extremely precious. i think i can´t comprehend what is happening right now!
wintersnake They were recorded during the Blackwater Park sessions but were not included in the original album cut. You can find them though in the deluxe 2CD version of the album.
Many years ago I downloaded some version of Blackwater Park that included really great instrumental moments that I am unable to find now. This sounds awesome but I still cant find some part on the whole album where a super chilled out electric guitar melody repeats a few times, without drums, I think some synthesizer possibly (like 15-30 sec long)
@@tylerjacobson8012 I like the first part of the Intro but after that it just breaks the entire atmosphere and tension. I haven't listened to the entire track because I can't get past the first heavy part. They really ruined what could have been so epic there.

precisely - Opeth sort of puts my mind at ease about death . . .
Well, in a sense, this song is heavier than their heavy stuff.
nailed it!
Their transitions are god like, to be able to go from heavy to a beautiful clean riff is stunning.

Music is powerful

Not even opeth cares
So much emotion and loneliness in this song.
The ivy covers all
One of the most beautiful songs ever. That outro is just incredible.
Only a genius can make a song like that
Thanks Mike.
It is possible for a song to be too beautiful?? this one is makes me cry every time I listen to it.
Sue Viola isn’t it hypnotic?
Its just that good.
I have been listening to this for 10 years, and it's still beautiful 💟
Didn't expect to find arabian people listening to one of the most underrated n' heart touching Opeth's songs.. Glad to find you here..

No,I'm not convinced yet.
Dir En Grey "Vinushka"
.... You ever think a song is so perfect that you are unworthy to hear it?
No, that is pretty silly, but I do feel pretty guilty that Opeth came to my country multiple times and I couldn't attend. It would have taken some sacrifices and I just didn't.
Low self esteem?
Yes. It's called "Blessings Upon the Throne of Tyranny".
Spotify thinks so :(
Words can not describe what Opeth means to me.
So beautiful.
Had this song around for years. Became unavailable in every way, had to come back to UA-cam. Glad to see other people like it so much too.
Criminally underrated Opeth song.
Without you I cannot confide in anything
The hope is pale designed in light of dreams you bring
Summer's gone, the day is done soon comes the night
Biding time, leaving the line and out of sight
One moonlit shadow on the wall
Disrupted in its own creation
Veiled in the darkness of this fall
Is this the end  manifestation
It runs in me, your poison seething in my veins
This skin is old and stained by late September rains
A final word from me would be the first for you
The rest is long but I'll go on inside and through
One moonlit shadow on the wall
Disrupted in its own creation
Veiled in the darkness of this fall

Patterns in the Ivy
These are the types of songs that give you the Opeth dreamscape: A glimpse into some mystical realm where all is beautiful and peaceful
Yes a bunch of songs do that
Opeth is Latin for city of the moon
Dark but sad.
Opeth at their best. Just Michael's voice and two guitars.
their bassist is a beast tho, but this song is just amazing
He is absolutely a beast. But in the piano/guitar, or two guitars only - songs, the true, haunting beauty of Opeth really comes through. There is a fragile, melancholic atmosphere in their clean creations that I find beautiful beyond words.
CZ wpl
Old comment but I swear I can hear Steven Wilson on backing vocals
This and Hours of Wealth may just be Mikael's greatest compositions. He truly excels in painting beautiful melancholy with the acoustic.
One shiver per second in this song. Opeth created a monster.
Opeth has the best b-sides ever
Katatonia also
True. Unfurl and Sulfur are some of my personal favorites.
Fractured and No Devotion are great as well
Cirkelns Rikting from the last album. My god, that song can't be real.
@@ogulcanyolcu8714 thanks! I was not aware of it
chills in the outro. every time.
This song saved my life. Got me through an asthma attack that could've ended me...... Thanks Opeth 🖤

Blackwater park is my favourite album by Opeth with Still life. I didn't know this existed !! A very good one !
This is from the Deluxe Edition (2 cd). Second disc has two beautiful songs (this one and Still Day Beneath The Sun). Also has the video for the song 'Harvest'.
Yes, I discovered Still day beneath the sun a few days ago too. They could have put these titles on the classic edition !

Yep, it's like a Swedish, higher-definition take on Nick Drake's legacy
Bellissimo!!! 💞 Questo brano musicale
I listen to this song like 5 times a day or more :D Just love it, and it gets me into a certain mood
these should have been recycled for damnation instead of tucking them away on an obscure deluxe disc

TheCrimsonBudgie damn. now that you say it, I see the similarities, but would never have guessed. thanks for letting us know!
Recommending Nick drake is a great advice, Opeth-related or not :)
I'd recomment Nick Drake's Pink Moon album, "Place To Be" and "From The Morning" are in my Top 10 songs ever, no doubt about that !
I'll listen to.
Thanks bro.
He also mentioned that his two daughters were born while Nick Drake was playing in the background. Beautiful!
Good song! I like the classic "O" artwork on this video.
So beautiful.

That last riff saddens my soul . Its like watching your mother or best friend walking away into the distance knowing you will never see them again .
I used this song in the slide presentation at both my parent's eulogies.💔 I got the opportunity to tell Mikael this when I met him. ❤

Nobody could ever hate opeth.
Absolute legends.
I hate opeth
@@EaglehawkMoonfang felons don't get to vote
Unfortunately most people I know hear a growl and decide it’s shit. Whatever it doesn’t take away from its beauty
.....so genuine sad and hence divine and beatifull
This is the epitome of music!
just love this, wish thy would do a compete album like this so rest full
damnation was all like this
not true this is a much different style of music, that's like saying Blackwater Park is like Ghost Reveries
The thing about this music is that not everyone will get it but honestly it’s not for everybody. Not everybody is blessed enough to perceive this beauty
So beautiful that it melts your heart!
Really beautiful solo
Don't forget to listen to the criminally overlooked 'Isolation Years' offa GR. SUCH.... a gorgeous tune
I love how as soon as the song starts and you hear the first five seconds of it, you already know that it is a masterpiece 🙌
When that solo hits at 3:01. I'm not crying.
É uma benesse para os meus ouvidos e para alma ter conhecido o Opeth. Uma das melhores bandas de todos os tempos!

Oh how much i love this.. ❤️ Opeth 🙂
Amazing..
I need more music like this! (other bands, I already listen all Opeth prog songs)
Sorry, nothing comparable exists.
Maybe Katatonia. The newer albums, they have some cool cleans, reminds me very much of Opeth. Also Mikael used to be in that band :D
:O I hear? (I don't know how to english xD) Katatonia, In 2013 I was obsessed with Dead End Kings. Thanks to recomend, though :D

U r awesome Mike

A pity that when he sings "Patterns in the Ivy" its only once in the song. Its so good....
one of their best ever
Beautiful
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Without you I cannot confide in anything
The hope is pale designed in light of dreams you bring
Summer's gone, the day is done soon comes the night
Biding time, leaving the line and out of sight
[Chorus]
One moonlit shadow on the wall
Disrupted in its own creation
Veiled in the darkness of this fall
Is this the end-manifestation
[Verse 2]
It runs in me, your poison seething in my veins
This skin is old and stained by late September rains
A final word from me would be the first for you
The rest is long but I'll go on inside and through
[Chorus]
[Outro]
Patterns in the Ivy
Patterns in the Ivy
This is a metal lullaby.
feels right in the hurts
It kind of soothes my loneliness
Amazing

There's a problem with modern Opeth, and it's not the lack of growling vocals. It's a lack of creativity that spawned songs like this.
