Most depressing/gloomy Opeth song?

[Dismal]

My pick would have to "To Bid You Farewell".

 

[Manbient]

Well...

To Bid You Farewell
the second half of Black Rose Immortal
Dirge For November (if you use a .WAV editer and edit out that AWFUL heavy middle part... man why'd they ruin the mood with that?!?)

 

[Dismal]

Yeah, when I first heard "Dirge for November", I thought that it would be a song I could chill out to, but then they had to ruin it.

 

[TheMindzI]

Moonlapse Vertigo

 

[Katatonic]

well i'd have to say all of morningrise when you know the context of the lyrics (Mikael's girlfriend of 3 years did the dirty with another guy), and that itself hits an emotional chord with me

 

[Melancholia]

To bid you farewell
Dirge for november
Credence
and even April Ethereal...i know this doesn't sound sad,but it gives me gloomy feelings...

 

[Triumphant Apostle]

Credence. Always seemed very depressing to me.But in a good way though!

 

[Misanthrope]

Demon of the fall ( if you accept my theory that the whole song is just a incredible close to godlike way to build up the song to the point of the emotional breakdown near the end of the song )

Credence comes in a close second

 

[Ibsen]

I didn't know that, Katatonic. I always knew the whole album was about the same girl but a could never figure out who. I say Black Rose Immortal is the saddest song, though.

 

[Kushantaiidan]

Dirge for November is not ruined you FOOLS.

They made it like that, that is the way it exists, and that is it.

 

[The Suicider]

Fools indeed. That song is great. It goes great with the lyrics, especially if you interpret the song as a suicide. It's perhaps the Opeth song with the most straightforward lyrics.
I suppose the upcoming "light" Opeth CD will please those who say such things about Dirge For November...

agreed

 

[Manbient]

Nope, no fool here As possesed as you may be the song IS better with the middle taken out.

 

[Rusty]

Dirge for November kinda makes me angry in the middle where it goes heavy. I'd say second half of Blackwater Park and To Bid You Farewell.

 

[~Zeanra~]

Hmmm...I'd say "Black Rose Immortal" and "To bid you farewell".

 

[The Nomad]

Dirge for November

 

[Vortex]

The Night and the Silent Water

 

[Demonspell]

I second what Vortex said. And I also think Dirge For November is a great song...

 

[JesusChristPose]

I enjoy Dirge for November just as it is.

 

[Opet]

1) The Night and the Silent Water
2) To Bid You Farewell
3) Dirge For November

This would have been a good poll. No? Or are we all polled-out?

I stand motionless,
In a parade of falling rain.
