Morningrise: Just what is the best song?

[random_phil]

BRI isn't winning by as much as I thought it would. Maybe the others are getting some sympathy votes?

 

[Morningrise]

Man I say that BRI is my least favorite on the album because of the sheer lack of unorganization!! That bugs me sooo much! Maybe it just hasnt captivated me yet, but Nectar is my favorite!! Probably because it reminds me of the days listening to that song over and over first hearing Opeth.

You took the words right out of my mouth. The best song is oviously BRI, but TBYF touches me much more for personal reasons.

 

[Punisher]

the mellow parts of BRI made the whole song great. especially "sunbirds leave the dark recesses".... the only song i don't LOVE iss nectar... but it's cool

 

[Rusty]

BRI is the best, mainly because it was the first Opeth song I heard. It's close (for me) between BRI, TBYF, and Advent. And TNATSW and Nectar, as well.

At the moment, BRI has 27, and TBYF has 15.

 

[Manes]

I don't know...
Nectar is the first song that I heard from morningrise... So that's how I based my decision...

 

[MadTinus]

It's torment choosing between the songs, they all have phenomenal parts, but my vote went to Black Rose Immortal, cause that songs contains my favourite part on the album, but the other songs are quite as amazing...

I mean, Advent, superb; NATSW, spinechilling; Nectar; phenomenal; BRI, enchanting; TBYF; beautiful...

 

[TheSerpent]

Black Rose Immortal by far

 

[changso]

Black Rose Immortal even with the hard competition. Probably the finest song I've ever heard...

 

[nevershine]

Nectar

It was the first song I heard from Opeth and I fell in love right away.
I'm not saying the others are not as good. Maybe they're even better, but this song gets my hair erect

 

[Thy Inamorato]

yeah bri is awesome... fucking amazing and probably has an argument to be the best song by opeth

hehe but of course so do alot of other great songs...

i also love the night and the silent water.... and yes to bid you farewell is aweaseome too, of course

 

[Thy Inamorato]

crap typing.. dammit

 

[Lutz]

Black Rose Immortal.
My fav Opeth song.

 

[Katatonic]

mines night and the silent water.... just that mad last whispery bit took me.....

 

[Alcapoth]

Indeed, Katatonic289...the whispers within The Night and the Silent Water at the end is an incredible conclusion to the song! Love that part...just had to say that.

Also, the line "She wept and whispered...I know," within To Bid You Farewell (also a whisper) instantly gave me the chills, especially as the amazing riff followed right after. Damn...that song is just incredible as well...

Also, a note on Nectar: The intro is stunning! And, when Mikael pulls off that amazing growl OUT THE BLUE cool: you should know what I'm talking about), I was totally in amazement! Together with the incredible guitar in the background, and you got one heck of an amazing part....

Well, finally...the votes are coming in. Seems like BRI is the favourite, by quite a margin.

Yay! It's a magical intro for sure!!!

 

[Stinkfist]

BRI should finish when he whispers 'Black Rose Immortal'.

 

[JesusChristPose]

It changes for me...Black Rose was my favorite at first, then it was The Night, and now it is To Bid You...

I agree here a little, the endings of BRI, Nectar and TNATSW are a bit out of place, but that's really the only criticism possible on Morningrise...

 

[Silver Raven]

Even though Black Rose Immortal is a fucking awesome song To Bid You Farewell will always be the best song on Morningrise to me since it was the song that turned me onto Opeth!
