Complete Serene Bliss...Then I Am Hit On The Head With A Hammer

[JesusChristPose]

The only way to describe the beginning of one of Opeth's best songs ever, When. Trance like guitar work, beautifully written and played...and then all of a sudden....

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!
Red sun rising somewhere through the dense fog.
The portrait of the jaded dawn who had seen it all befoOOOOOOORRRRRE....(pause)....OOOH!"

And then Opeth does something that they hardly ever do, they flat out ROCK with a straight forward, dancing if you will, rhythm.

"This day wept on my shoulders."

and this is only the beginning....

This song is incredible....

Thats one of my favourite starts of a song ever. The AHHHHHHHH!!!! bit is so sudden it would make anyone jump outta their seat.

"The gate was closed again and I was bound to carry on"
