omerta

[jldawson]

come by, you have come far
all i had i lost in the flood
come sit with me at the bar
tell me of progress, strengthen my blood

no one here knows my name, no
i have traded my memories for things
but i remember you clearly
do you remember that i used to sing?

doo doo dee doo dooo doo dee
why have you waited so long?

come by, you have come far
long since i saw you, so how have you been?
come sit with me at the bar
how long since they told you that they had found him?

no one here knows my name, no
gave up my worries for one good thing
but i remember you clearly
do you remember that i used to sing?

why have you waited so long?
doo doo doo

was it because i never told you i was going away
that you waited so long?
was it because your fucking dreams meant nothing to me
that you waited so long?

it runs from the top of my fingers
into my hands
what is it i have been drinking?
i do not understand

i thought i'd lost you my brother
i'm so glad you came
my regards to the ones that i love
i miss them, tell them i love them
i miss them

Damn every time i come to this board some people are discussing viva emptiness as if it has been released. If you are going to discuss Viva Emptiness stick to the samples on their website.

 

[jldawson]

before I got the mp3s, I was still interested in finding lyrics to the songs. maybe you could skip all the VE related posts until the release date?

no disrespect to the band. the mp3s are available online, so why not get them. I'm going to buy the album. I do have to say that their selection of samples (namely criminals and evidence) is completely misleading as to how the rest of the album sounds.

 

[Ghost Tears]

Yes the mp3's are online but did Katatonia put them online?




















































NOPE!

 

[jldawson]

so what's your point? I should wait until March 24 because that's when their record label decided to release it? If it's available now, why would I wait? maybe you are a masochist, I don't know, but I don't see how it's going to affect them one way or another if I d/l now or wait a few weeks. The question is whether or not I'd buy it, and yeah, I am going to, so whatever.

 

[Ghost Tears]

If people would just be a little patient the album would mean more to them. When you get it you can listen to it forever. Its not like you're gonna grow old and def in a matter of months. So just be patient.

 

[Ghost Tears]

I dont wanna start an argument or anything i just think people should wait thats all. I dont doubt that you arent going to buy it. Its just that i dont think Katatonia intends for us to hear it until March 24.

 

[jldawson]

It's ok, it means plenty, I made sure to play the tracks in the right order and everything. I have them on my mp3 player. It's like listening to a real cd.

Granted I am going to buy it and rip at higher quality (vbr), but this is cool for now. Will sound the same in my car either way. see, when I buy cds these days I just rip them and put the cd away, so it's not any different.

 

[Ghost Tears]

by the way what the fuck is a masochist?

 

[jldawson]

masochist... someone who obtains pleasure from pain or punishment.

anyway, I dont want to argue either. you shouldn't go preaching though, not everyone's going to see it your way. like me for instance. even if I couldn't find the songs (it did take me a while), I'd have been happy to find the lyrics, like I did with Evidence when I only had the 45 second sample.

Blame whoever put the things online, not me

 

[Ghost Tears]

Yea i know everyones got their own oppion i was just voicing mine. I wasnt blaming you i just think everyone should be patient. If Katatonia wanted us to hear it early they would put it on their website. So the way i see why not just wait until you can have the songs in their highest form of quality and the lyrics right in front of you and Travis Smith's great artwork all at once.Im just glad to here that you are going to buy the album though. I am now done discussing this.

subj: Favorite song of my wife from VE... and really nice one.

 

[Novembers Paul]

I don't like the entire CD, but this song is amazing.

 

[godless]

what do you all think about the end of the song OMERTA?

the song itself is great. one of my favorites. but the ending of that is too hard and the entire song is far too short.

 

[DemonOfTheFall]

is it suppose to end at 3 min? it's just a weird ending, i feel it's not suppose to end there. it should at least ring out. it just puts me off balance and it feel incomplete. someone plz xplain if it's suppose to be this way...

 

[Demonspell]

I like this song's mood, sounds like a meeting with an old friend that inevitably ends in disappointment...

 

[Scourge of Malice]

Omerta is such a great song.. one of my favorite Katatonia tracks now.. I haven't downloaded the whole album yet and I don't think I will. Just had to get a taste.

 

[Sengir*Buendia]

Argh!!! This really annoys me (the cut in the end of omerta) EXACTLY as Closure's end off Damnation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Scourge of Malice]

Argh!!! This really annoys me (the cut in the end of omerta) EXACTLY as Closure's end off Damnation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah I don't like that either.. is it supposed to go into the next song or they did that on purpose?

 

[Klemi]

Well, I have figured it out this way... "Omerta" is the last real song and it has positive feeling in its sound etc. But like in life in general, you can loose everything in a blink of an eye, and so "Omerta" ends unexpectedly, and the outro, instrumental "Inside the City of Glass" rumbles over with its massive apocalyptic feeling... Or something like that.
And I have the CD, with whole artwork and stuff (thanks Hammy), so leave me out of that mp3 conversation...
