"The Great Cold Distance" was a step beyond the metal stage. such a softness entwined with the aggressiveness of sadness is unbearable, yet comforting. Katatonia is a beautiful creation.
You come clean Waves collide now Defenseless numb arms And no voice of reason So how come you invited me too? You knew I wanted you You glide above So this night belongs to you I know this isn't through Are you dead to love? I see the bright lights It's the month of July It's violent here Why have you left me? If only you could stay And keep me in It's violent here Why did you run from me? So how come you invited me too? You knew I wanted you You glide above So this night belongs to you I know this isn't through Are you dead to love? Heat Night devour me Heat Night devour me Repeat, repetition I see the bright lights It's the month of July It's violent here Why have you left me? If only you could stay and keep me in It's violent here Why did you run from me?
One of my favorite bands of all time . and I didn't find out about them till I was 55. have seen them live 3 times. awelcome awesome band. I get so sick and tired when I hear people my age age say there isn't any good music. love insomnium,opeth wolves at the door and a ton more .
@@aprild9577 same here, been into metal since I was 8 when cousin gave me all his records (yes, I said records) I am 53 now. Never stopped seeking new metal bands. YT helped tremendously with this. There's been great metal bands every year since I was 8 in 75. Too many too list

This song perfectly captures the feeling of sleepless, sweltering, sweaty, heartache-ridden summer nights. Nights where you walk up the walls and stew in your own juices and your memories haunt you. Anger, regret, sadness. Manic depression. Timeless. The band's masterpiece. I'm already looking forward to next July, hahaha...
it is a big mistake to compare this to their older work. this is the most progressive and most technical album of them.. and this song is one of album's best.. they keep changing their music as the albums pass but never lose their dark atmosphere. One of the most consistent and yet suprising groups ever.
I love the band and all the changes they have made from album to album. It keeps their music fresh. Their newest album that just came out is amazing. Even the acoustic albums are amazing.
I bought this album when it came out in 2006. I was in high school. UA-cam was super new back then. It is one of the best metal albums ever, and katatonia's best. Every single song in this album is killer. Back then, I gave the album to my friends. They never stopped listening to them since. One of them still has it lying around after 16 years. I know people love the vocalist. But man .. the guitarist is PHENOMENAL. One of metal's best in my opinion. Also, the bass lines are monumental. They don't make music like this anymore.
The power and artistry of this band cannot be expressed, matched or compared. Every year I find more meaning and depth in Katatonia's music. It is quite incredible that such refined music is written and composed in our base epoch. Renkse and Nystrom are two poetic visionaries who gave us some of the most beautiful and sad songs ever written. A case in point: the paradoxical warmth of this chilling, heart-breaking master piece. "I see the bright lights, it's the month of July." Ohhhhh...

Haven't listened to Katatonia in a long time, and this was a nice piece to my morning :D I love the contrast between the bass/guitars and keys. Classic doom elements
He conocido hace poco a Katatonia y me parecen espectaculares, la estructuración de sus temas, el desarrollo de éstos , la complejidad , sus paradas y sus colores , espectaculares.
I've seen Katatonia live in SLC and they were so amazing LIVE!! Jonas voice is both powerful and calming at the same time!! The Old Hearts Fail Tour was nothing short of CONCERT PERFECTION!!!
A lil hurt just reminded me of this song after all these years passing me by without a single trace of mercy. I still enjoy it while all those great lyrics are bleeding through my veins tho I'm aware of the fact that it ain't summer in my soul anymore and every single beginning of fall makes me wanna fall 🖤🤘🏻
Right? The Great Cold Distance is their best album by far. I've lost a bit of interest in them since Night is the new Day, even tho they are still a great band.
You can't force these things sadly. It's about how they were feeling in that moment of time, that has to progress or stagnate and Katatonia have at least continued to not sell out and make great interesting albums.

The difference between Sadness and Happiness is that the first has no boundaries nor depth. - me. 😂
Saddest music is the bestest music, you meant.

Opeth is Opeth, Katatonia is Katatonia. I love both bands.
so do I! love them so much!
Im Fromer Brasil and opeth and katatonia os my favorite bands
@Fabian Abiyoga Testament goes soft, still not bad
For me Katatonia > Opeth, but i love Mikael's work on Brave Murder Day
I was lucky to see them both when they toured the states. Katatonia stole the show,
You come clean
Waves collide now
Defenseless numb arms
And no voice of reason
So how come you invited me too?
You knew I wanted you
You glide above
So this night belongs to you
I know this isn't through
Are you dead to love?
I see the bright lights
It's the month of July
It's violent here
Why have you left me?
If only you could stay
And keep me in
It's violent here
Why did you run from me?

One of the most emotional and qualified metal songs.
OMG This song is so addictive

Especially while driving

This song is PERFECT!

@@Vardok7hehehehe yes.
Yes, but the Fall of Hearts is also f... complex. Although 16 years ago we only had TGCD, so I agree.

It's violent here, why have you left me? ❤️
Heh.. me ♥️
*Left you in the grey park of the "Brave Murder Day"!*

@@clandestinepress9176 Grey park still lools the same... and the days are paler still.
I cannot believe this song is this old, still love it, it's one I find myself randomly singing.
Came here from Lost in Vegas reaction. Loved it.
I remember the day I I downloaded july, I listened to it around 10 hours nonstop. Katatonia makes next level metal music
I bought this album when it came out in 2006. I was in high school. UA-cam was super new back then. It is one of the best metal albums ever, and katatonia's best.

Same experience. The only other album I ever loved from the very first listen, start to finish with no exceptions, was Lateralus.

Beautifully said
Katatonia have such a special tune that no one can replicate it. Extremely good content..
KATATONIA must be the most underrated band in musical history. And think of the competition.
I say it 20x a year
absolutely
was having the same thought while listening to this song
Underrated for sure, but definitely not THE most underrated... they're up there though.
This song and Burn the Rememberence take me somewhere that I cannot describe or explain. I love those songs deep in my heart

listening to this in august because I didnt get the memo in time
Nice heritage pic
Best band in the world, truly!!
i've seen them live a couple of months ago with moonspell. They were awesome, one of the best show i've ever seen
one of the few bands that can have a cd where every song is awesome. love his voice.
I believe this is the best album of their career, it's really great!!
Hey, come and listen again :)
I presume the same. Although I love the Night Is the New Day almost same
i love this song haunting..
This song is an air-drummers dream. Love it.
Took me a while to correctly air drum the section at 2:12
This album has extracted my tears for exactly 10 years now.
Today is 1/7
I always listen to this song in one july 😍
Same here!
Mee too, and in this year haha
2019, still listening to this masterpiece.
Even when I'm listening July in March it's still great experience
It's okay to cry with this celebration of music and Jonas Renkse's emotions. :'(
Thank you Jonas and Andrew. You're living legends with hard emotions!
You saved my life.
One of the best songs ever
just remembered that it’s THE MONTH OF JULY🖤🤘🏼
The 13th year that I was blessed with this song. Playing it daily in my car ♥️
