English Project

[Mr. Bland]

I don't think... ...good luck on your project!

Yeah, thanks for the input. Those songs are great, but I need more lyrics to work with because the more lyrics, the better the grade (teacher's quote) so I need something longer. If I do Hessian Peel, what are the sections that are unconfirmed? And what do you guys think of the reversed part? I think Hessian Peel would be good because it starts slow with clean, and then erupts and returns to the clean. Which hopefully isn't going to blast the class right away.

 

[Holocaust on the Moon]

Do Heir Apparent and give everyone a copy of the lyrics so they can follow along.

 

[Holocaust on the Moon]

yes and no. I dislike the band so i felt i should say it. And i tried to help him by giving him a good band. your obviously giving your negative opinion by hating

Err, what exactly are you doing in the band's official forum if you dislike them?

 

[meeseface]

i don't know. does it matter

 

[BefriendedUnit]

Are you kidding me? Trains or The Sound of Muzak by PT.

 

[xsxixr xsxcxhxwxaxnxzxexlxoxt]

I'm doing a project on Opeth too, but it isn't for English, it's for music. So I don't have to open a new thread, does anyone know where I can find the notes of their songs (The Moor)? Would help me alot.

 

[Vuashke]

ultimate guitar, download a power tab or a guitar pro tab. they have standard notation and its reasonably accurate

 

[anus slayer ov the dogs]

You might wanna pick a song which has the entire Opeth style in it, like The Drapery Falls, or maybe When... I don't know... something that can actually represent Opeth's genre and unique style, if you get what I'm sayin'

 

[Annihilat0r]

I suggest Heir Apparent so the class will vomit because of its sheer brutality, an awesome sight

I can imagine girls covering their ears with their hands and maybe crying as Mikael goes AND AGAIN HE RIDES IN IT'S SEPTEMBER AND HE COVETS THE GULLIBLEEAAHHH!

 

[Savern]

I would probably say The Moor, or White Cluster - lots of metaphor and imagery in Still Life lyrics which are great for analysing. White cluster itself is symbolism for the crowd of the village watching as they execute the exile.

 

[DisguisedDawn]

Err, what exactly are you doing in the band's official forum if you dislike them?

My thought exactly

 

[Noel]

Try Deliverance.

 

[rrjii2000]

Because they sucks. Play immolation instead. That will get there attention

LMAO, I second that

Don't rule out Autopsy either

 

[in_my_time_of_disease]

About deathspell omega:

(“Si non credideritis, non intelligetis”
Isaiah VII: 9
L'Ange Albe)

One of the reasons why I love them.

Dso have incredible well written lyrics. Especially on Fas, the concept is brilliant.

 

[SeViMeTaL]

Do something from Damnation (Opeth), and it won't get you kicked out or mocked for death vocals.

+1 agree in my opinion hope leaves is good for your project

 

[Nasty-Fire]

White Clusters (or any other songs from Still Life... for the rhymes you can take... Benighted), and Deliverance!

 

[meeseface]

LMAO, I second that

Don't rule out Autopsy either

YES!!! Either immolation or autopsy

 

[CorpseDeception]

How about Blackwater Park?

But, really, it doesn't matter what song you do. As long as you are reasonally good at bullshitting and pick a moderately ambiguous song, you can go where ever you want with it and still get a good grade. I've done similar projects several times with several different songs. A good way to go is to reference major works of poetry. Everytime I quote The Waste Land by T.S. Eliot (the quote in my sig is from part I, The Burial of the Dead) I recieve high praise for it (and a nice 100% or more). Just make sure you use good terminology and sound convincing even when you have no clue what you are talking about.
Good luck and good grade!

 

[JemGaarenstroom]

Do something off of Still Life. The lyrics on that album are the best Opeth has ever done.

i agree.

Still Life has the story to back up the song, therefore it has the potential to be more interesting.

 

[Nasty-Fire]

I always thought Mikael lied when saying Watershed wasn't a story. There are so many connected elements. But go for Still Life, Blackwater Park or Deliverance. Even My Arms Your Hearse. They all hide some very interesting stories.
