I was wondering wether Per wrote the music on this one and Mikael just the lyrics or did Mikael write the music with Per?
I'm far more inclined to believe that Per's writing credit in the song is somewhat similar to Fred's in Porcelain Heart. In other words, my best guess would be that <b>he contributed ideas regarding his own instrument </b>and Mike wrote a song around it. Considering Fred got a writing credit for one riff, I don't think anyone should really take it too seriously.
I don't see why a guitarist couldn't write that line.

^^white cluster and spd solos give that statement weight.

White Cluster is a good solo but is absolutely terrible in the context of the song. So it's SPD's one pretty good solo versus every solo on Deliverance, gl SPD lol.
And on topic, "I know these things" isn't a very convincing answer. Doesn't sound out of place if I play it on guitar at all.
lol "context" isn't exactly a big part of Opeth's music. SPD solo isn't "pretty good," it's Mike's best solo period.
