    Their stuff is light, poignant, sad, heavy, dark, intense, even a bit twisted but there is always an element of beauty. That solo stuff from 4:37 fwd, gets me choked up. Mikael Akerfeldt is a master songwriter, great guitarist, singer, extraordinary talent that comes along once in a lifetime.

    Opeth.
    Blank face in the windowpane
    Made clear in seconds of light
    Disappears and returns again
    Counting hours, searching the night
    Might be waiting for someone
    Might be there for us to see
    Might be in need of talking
    Might be staring directly at me
    Inside plays a lullaby
    Slurred voice over children cries
    On
    The inside
    Haunting loneliness in the eye
    Skin covering a secret scar
    His hand is waving a goodbye
    There's no response or action returned
    There is deep prejudice in me
    Outshines all reason inside
    Given dreams all ridden with pain
    And projected unto the last

    I bought this album 15 years ago, alongside Blackwater Park on a suggestion from a friend as I was getting into metal.
    I could not have been any more fortunate at the time than to find this band. I cried and laughed to this album for no particular reason, the sound took the drivers seat, and I was just strung along with the absolute beauty of the compositions.
    Thanks, Opeth.

    this song kidnaps my soul away from my body and into an infinite space where nothing but emotion exist. No logic, No thinking, Just feeling. First time i listened to this song was 2010, never had a device since then where it wasn't downloaded. This isn't a song, It's a drug. Everything is so perfectly crafted, The instruments clash with each other with so much unison and coordination, and the voice of Mikael Åkerfeldt is so soothing and powerful at the same time, i can feel the words he is saying, and they're only heightened by the angelic melancholy of this beautiful symphony.
    It is a shame. This song, it's quality. It feels like serious injustice that only a few millions have heard this song, It should be held at the same regard that genius musicians are. I will never stop listening to this song, it has captured my heart, and i feel it will only release it after another masterpiece like this comes out. So far, none have made my ears tear up like this song has. Thank You Opeth, This song may not be popular, but know that the people that listen to it, have nothing less than love and appreciation for this masterpiece.

    Woke up with a pounding headache today. It's the first day of fall. It's been lightly raining. I've been looking out my window and drinking cups of hot coffee, and this song immediately came to mind. ❤

    • @veterxiph526
      @veterxiph526 4 місяці тому +1

      eerily similar story here, three days after you posted your comment. Beginning of fall, woke up at 5 AM today, pitch black outside and pouring rain, had too much coffee yesterday, have a headache presumably from poor sleep quality due to caffeine's effects on sleep. I thought "I should re-listen to Windowpane by Opeth. See if I can recapture the feelings I had when I discovered this song for the first time seven years ago." Welp, I only recaptured 50% of those feelings. This is probably my 100th re-listen to this song by this point, literally. At least, on this listen, I was able to pay attention to the choice of instruments a little more. I paid attention to the song structure a little more, noting that there are two guitar soloes, and that neither is technically difficult but is extremely moving and classy nonetheless. And that the violins/double bass and the "choir" in the background at certain parts in this song tremendously add to its already classy, moving vibe. Musically, it seems the Swedes and Brits can do no wrong. Akerfeldt is a genius and Steven Wilson is too. ❤from the USA.

    Blank face in the windowpane
    Made clear in seconds of light
    Disappears and returns again
    Counting hours, searching the night
    Might be waiting for someone
    Might be there for us to see
    Might be in need of talking
    Might be staring directly at me
    Inside plays a lullaby
    Slurred voice over children cries
    On the inside
    Haunting loneliness in the eye
    Skin covering a secret scar
    His hand is waving a goodbye
    There's no response or action returned
    There is deep prejudice in me
    Outshines all reason inside
    Given dreams all ridden with pain
    And projected unto the last

    When I first heard Damnation was a soft album I was like "lol that's kinda lame".
    When I actually heard the album for the first time I realized that it wasn't a soft album technically. Like, it's soft sound wise, but the overall feel of it is just oppressively, but it's lyrically their heaviest. Like, it's the musical equivalent of a dying old man reflecting on his failures. This album alone made me love Opeth more than I already did.

    I remember reading an interview with Mikael where he mentioned the lyrical inspiration for this song.
    He was out partying with some friends one night, and on the way home at like 3 AM he happened to see an old man looking out from a window. Nothing else happened, but he started to imagine what that man's life might be like and wrote these lyrics. It's basically about loneliness and the many (often older) people society forgets about.

      Karanlık düşüncelerimin arasında kendimi kaybetmekten korkuyordum ama aniden hayatıma giren ışığın beni sonsuz karanlığımdan çekip aldı. Artık düşündüğüm tek şey sensin. Tüm gereksiz ve aptal düşünceleri bir kenara bırakıp sadece seni ve senin varlığını düşünüyorum ve bundan hiç rahatsızlık duymuyorum. Bazen tesadüfler seni en karanlık başluklardan en aydınlığa yükseltebilirmiş. artık hayatım mücadele etmeye değer bir tarafı olduğuna inanıyorum. sen hayatımda olduğun sürecede buna inanmaya devam edicem🤍✨

      - From a shitless slave region of humanism being suffered under hoon-tribe-originated-parasitism and kiki'she' collectivism which is known as the name 'Korea', whose dwellers always steals and begs from Japan's original history which clearly inherited sincere humanity in Ancient Cudara more than its 'original' dwellers in hometown.

    Opeth is such a good band they both inspire and discourage me simultaneously. Its not that I feel that they're that much better than me, as much as that I don't know that I could consistently put out such masterful works as they do. Every element is perfect. No note feels wrong, even when it's especially dissonant. In fact, the dissonance always resolves leaving you feeling more at peace with the tension..

      @@thewildhealer541 I agree with you both! I have talked about my ideas about this quite a bit and I think that the reason that they are so similiar is that both Tool and Opeth are incredibly versatile in their arrangements, but they both have 100% nailed their heavy sound and the transitions from that into the lighter parts, and back. They sound like two branches in opposite directions, but formed the same pattern. So 2 completely different versions of the same amazing musical accomplishment. That's the best way I can describe it. :)

I had a hard time getting into Tool, except for a few songs like Vicarious, The Pot etc.. the easy listening stuff. Now I believe Lateralus to be one of the best albums of all time when I became more patient (No pun intend) with listening to them. But I was always a fan of Opeth since I was a kid honestly. I don't hear any Opeth in Tool, and vice versa. Except for arrangements as you say. They never remind me of each other when I listen to them.

    I still recall vividly sitting in front of my TV when I first saw the video for this song. It was when Headbanger's Ball was still on the air, possibly in its second iteration on MTV. I watched in awe. I'd never heard music like this before. I didn't know music like this was possible, especially coming from what I knew was a metal band, which was the only thing I knew about Opeth at that time.
    Mike is a true musical savant. Singular in every way. And Steven Wilson deserves a ton of credit for pushing Opeth over the hump from the "amazing" category to the "unprecedented genius" category.
    No one does beautiful melancholy like Opeth.

    Before Opeth I could not listen growling metal one bit. This kind of using of perfect harmonies with mixture of different kinds of emotions in music really caught me. And yes this album and this song was crucial for me to getting used to the band's style and then moving on to Blackwater park and Ghost reveries which became even a bigger favorite for me than this album. What a band, none other is good at this level of progressive metal which is not just bout rhytm but really getting the amount of depth to a one song.
