Okay whats the deal

[Walls1441]

with the end of closure on Damnation?


everytime i play it i have to log on wikipedia and check the track time to make sure i'm not crazy.

 

[Nichtsicher]

It is supposed to end like that. They did a similar thing to the end of Serenity Painted Death aswell

 

[Guttmann]

im with you... dont understand it...

 

[Black Session]

live they made this nice jam session (well, perhaps not really, since it seems very co-ordinated every time) out of it ... perhaps it's supposed to have an open ending, so they could be more creative with it during live performances.
it is to bad though that it is this way on the album, kind of ruins the song a little bit, but the lamentations version is nice, and every time they play it live you get a slightly different version.

It's been said before about the irony thing of 'closure' having no closure...

Actually, the end of Serenity Painted Death was meant to be there: I read it in the FAQs, I guess... or was it somewhere else?

 

[wadler]

^yes, and the ending of closure was also meant to be there...

 

[the opeth affinity]

the end of closure is pretty much the same as the ending to the sopranos series, dont really know what relevance that has but they both annoyed the hell outta me at first but meh : /

 

[soundave]

The end of Closure is reminiscent of the end of The Beatles' "I Want You/She's So Heavy".

LOL thats a nice perspective... maybe that's the whole idea from the first place. who knows?

That's a neat way of looking at it.

 

[Belac]

Agreed. I dunno if it was "meant" to be that way but the artistic irony makes it all the better

 

[Simskre]

I think it fits perfectly, if you listen to Hope leaves right after it...

 

[lottovoitto]

Also Katatonia's "Omerta" ends like Opeth's closure. In Omerta the storyteller gets poisoned and dies so the song ends suddenly. I really like that idea..

holy crap... you just blew my mind! now im scared.

Amazing catch, I was actually listening to this song the other day and wondered why it cut off. Never thought of that....

Haha, good to know I'm not the only one with that problem for BOTH those songs...

But yeah, Closure has one of the most amazing climaxes I've heard and then just ends suddenly... kind of disappointing =(

Exactly. If you actually own the cd, which I assume the threadstarter does not (correct me if i'm wrong), the soft, you will hear that the quiet part of the next song really fits actually.
