JONAS P RENKSE lyrics appreciation thread

[Hedon-]

i just went through listening to the whole TGCD album along with the lyrics... i think he's my favorite lyricist ever, every song of his is so damn emotional, and even better, some songs remind me of people and incidents from my personal life.
some of his lines are just amazing.. the line closing TGCD gives me shivers by just READING it, pretty insane. do you think it is his best album lyrically?

some time ago i made a poll at the bloodbath forum about mikael akerfeldt vs jonas renkse as a lyricist, and really wasnt sure of my pick. now i am.

thoughts?

Both Jonas and Anders (he's written some songs, hasn't he?) are great lyricists

 

[Hedon-]

anders is writing lyrics too?
all i know is that he wrote the lyrics for bloodbath's weak aside lulz

 

[Nightmare_Heaven]

I think he wrote "Inside the Fall", I could be wrong though

 

[Mantraschism]

Anders wrote 'At Last', 'Quiet Days', and 'Dissolving Bonds', at least.

They're both awesome lyricists.

Quiet World

Jonas has been the main lyricist since LFDGD. They are both credited on most of the releases before that though.

Wow, 'Quiet Days' is one of MY songs, haha. Yes, 'Quiet World' is what I meant to say.

Thiestru - Quiet Days
Katatonia - Quiet World

Jonas Renkse is easily one of my favourite lyricists of all time, along with Aaron Stainthorpe of course :-D
