Between These Two Opeth Songs, Which Do You Think Has The Best Lyrical Work?

[Ümlaut]

Before you say shit thread, at least vote and leave your opinion. I know there will different opinions than just these two songs, but I've heard just about every Opeth song and I think it comes down between these two for the best lyrics.

Of course if you have a different opinion, vote other and say what song you think has the best lyrical work by Opeth.

EDIT: Also, I think Isolation Years has the best lyrical work, but Still Day Beneath the Sun is a very close second, if you ask me.

That's a stupid question. Please refrain from posting anymore in this thread unless it's constructive and fits the topic.

i voted Still day. Good thread imo.

SDBTS is so close second for me that I almost regret voting IY.

Isolation Years is possibly Opeths most beautiful and heart wrenching song.

 

[Hedon-]

^yes but i liked it better before i read the lyrics tbh

I didn't want to vote for 'other Opeth song', since that's too broad, and 'Isolation Years' has my favorite lyrics from Opeth in many, many years, so... guess what I chose. =]

Agreed.

Opeths' lyrics have really fallen off, starting on ghost reveries. I never liked isolation years, as it sounds like a crybaby song. Still Day, while reflecting on the death of a relative, seems to still hold prowess and unfolds great, theres no elongated notes like "ROOOOOOOSEMAAAAAAARYSSSSSS" I can't stand that. Patterns II and Still Day are top tier Opeth clean vocal songs.

I agree.

Hedon does bring up a good point with his lame posting, though.

Just who is Rose Mary/Rosemary/Rosemarie?

(Anyone know the right spelling for that name, like official booklet?)

 

[soundave]

I believe she gave birth to Satan's son.

its a fictional character. are you completely retarded?

edit: goes to umlaut, not to dabe

I agree with your last sentence but otherwise...

...

Fail.

Anyway, the question concerns lyrics, not vocal phrasing.

Obviously it's a fictional character.

The song still leaves me wondering who Rosemary is, in the context of the lyrics.

If you couldn't grasp that from my previous post, then maybe you're the retarded one.

That's what Other is there for, you can specify which song you chose in your reply after voting other.

^it's a fictional character. how dumb are you?

Not near as dumb as you apparently...

Go troll somewhere else.

 

[Mantraschism]

@ the above argument: Hahahahahaha, golden. You never know what it's going to be next around here.

I guess I should specify why I said that. When I said 'too broad', it's because my choice would have been 'The Entire "My Arms, Your Hearse" Album', which isn't a song. =P And 'Isolation Years' really is one of my all-time favorite lyrics.

Oh, my bad. Misunderstanding.

 

[Still Life 1891]

My favourite lyrics are from the whole of the Still Life record tbh. Though I voted for Isolation Years..it's such a tragic, beautiful song, and the lyrics are brilliant, better than Still Day Beneath The Sun imo.
