Measuring time using Opeth songs

[shivering corpse]

I do it all the time, and I realized how very odd it is.
I was sitting in class today, was quite bored, because it was dull.
There was 20 minutes left in class, so I think to meself "just have a black rose immortal left"
when there are ten minutes until something I think "one drapery falls..."
I also have thought this when running late for something
If I see that something begins in around 15 minutes, I think "Well shit, there's just a little bit over an Advent or Deliverance!"

 

[Duvall]

I judge my time on the bus by albums (which is typically Opeth anyway) - so if I can finish Deliverance on the way across town, I know how long the trek is. I can get most places and back within 2 1/2 plays of Deliverance. (lame)

 

[Beth]

hahaha, well you aren't the only weirdo....I do this too, with Opeth songs (of course)

 

[Lakestream]

I do too When I go by bike to school, I think, "It's about a Bleak and an Epilogue, and I'm there"

 

[Spike]

I'll go one better... I often go for a run after I get home from work.... and not only do I time my runs by song length (and a watch if I'm bored) I also pace myself by the tempo of a song..... Usually Opeth! (Though I have found that Lacuna Coils Comalies works best for me at the moment)

And I do all the other usual timing stuff too.......

 

[Eirik]

I do it with all kinds of music...

oops i sent that twice

 

[Staffan]

YEP! haha I've got about 2 regular(9-11min) songs to school (listening in my walkman)

 

[seventi]

Nothing wrong with that. I know that my way to school (when it's snow and winter) is about one "Wreath" and "Deliverance" while walking to school in summer is exactly the "Haven" album

 

[poldarn]

on the buss to town it's about a bleak and a godheads lament, while in town the walk to school takes about an advent.

 

[warsofwinter]

I've done it while having sex! hehe. After, while talking about it to my girlfriend we refered to the events by song and moment of song ... interesting.

 

[poptartofdeath]

When I got something in the other room cooking I'll put on the appropriate length Opeth song and when it's about over it's food time.

 

[murderedbysound]

i do that shit all the time, we pop in a Opeth cd and do some driving around to see how long it takes to do shit. or we try to do it all in one song
