Harvest for Wedding

[Dammnare]

Might be a funny idea but I am planning to play Harvest while we're dancing with my future bride ( I hope ) so what do you think are there any other Opeth songs that we can fit in this category ? ( Thinking about Ending Credits too btw )

Not trying to mainstream Opeth here btw...I think the song fits to a wedding ritual where you made a pact, which can be inferred in the concept of lyrics...also the song is absolutely fantastic.

Heir Apparent.

No, but what about In My Time Of Need?

I chose Harvest because of the lyrics' context and rhyme in them.But yeah that is also a good idea to be honest..

 

[Sisyphus's Struggle]

Be real and put To Bid You Farewell, or kill the bride and play The Lepper Affinity...

Really, i don't see either of those two (IMTON and Harvest) at a wedding... maybe harvest at a funeral...

Well yes Harvest's lyrics mention death etc and you are right about that but I think it is too cheerful for a funeral.I think Epilogue is much more fitting for funerals.

By the way we can see here how successful Opeth is at illustrating the common feeling of humans,like love,hate,disappointment or even death.More reason to love this fantastic band !

I tried to get Patterns in the Ivy in during the ceremony but we never managed to fit it in.

i asked my gal a few years ago if we could play harvest at our wedding and she agreed to it.

Wreath or bust.

 

[BringMeTheCalm]

It seems pretty desperate... "Stay with me a while..." Chicks don't dig desperate.

 

[demon of the moor]

do it

 

[An Unfair Juggernaut]

Isolation Years is a beautiful song.

 

[Eugenics]

Face of Melinda wouldnt be a bad wedding song. Nevermind the lyrics though.

 

[griev0r]

Dirge for November at your wedding would be the most metal moment of all time.

 

[roadtonowhere08]

I played Benighted at my wedding while people ate at the reception. It was great!!

 

[Vivören]

Just make sure to pay the band their royalties.

 

[grey knight]

Play entire Deliverance, skip A fair judgement and For absent friends.

 

[wut wut]

I dunno. "Harvest" kinda creeps me out... the atmosphere of the music and the subtle ominous vibe of the lyrics makes it more of a downer song.

That's just me, though. If you think the song works for your wedding, do it. Just make sure the bride consents to it, or you will not live long enough to show us the wedding photos.

 

[Markitos`s apprentices]

it can sounds weird, but imo "advent" is their most cheerful song, it would perfectly fit during the entrance of the bride.

.

That's an awesome idea! I say do it.

Definetly...

I don't know about Opeth songs at wedding. Harvest is pretty nice and maybe something off Damnation too, the atmosphere is just a bit depressing even (or especially) in the mellow songs.
