Opeth + snow

[ricochet]

I would definitely recommend all of you to listen to Opeth if you are around snow. It's just a great experience.

Demonspell, that's really odd that you haven't gotten any snow yet. There is hardly ever any snow here. I think it has been several years since it last snowed.

It stopped snowing last night but started again this morning. llamaura, I will probably walk around tonight and listen to Crimson.

I now wait for an Opethian snowstorm

It rarely snows here, but today it started snowing for the first time since I've lived here. After a few hours of accumulation, I got the urge to walk around and listen to Opeth. So, I bundled up, put Still Life in my portable cd player, and started walking around my apartment complex.

It was a very amazing experience and made me appreciate the music so much more. I just walked and listened not keeping track of time or caring about anything else. I stared at the sky as the snow was hitting me in the face. People were driving by slowly staring at me, but I didn't even pay any attention to them. I played the cd all the way through then made my way back to my apartment.

I know many of you live in places that get a lot of snow. So, have you ever walked around while listening to Opeth? You are very lucky to have such beauty even though it may seem like a hassle. I am really thinking about going to Appalachian State University next year in the mountains near here. I have been there a few times, and it is a really nice place with a lot of cool people.

I just felt like sharing my first Opeth snow experience and was curious what those of you who are around snow thought. I think it makes the music so much better. Yes?

On a side note, I won't be going to school tomorrow since the roads are so bad.

P.S. Sorry, Oyo. I know there isn't very much snow in FL.

Oh you live in Charlotte? Cool! I do too! It snowed here in January two years ago and we got 1.5 feet of it. Thats alot for here as you know. Well, I was snowed in at my house and I had just picked up Still Life from Manifest (Im sure you've been there. Kickass store) Anyway, It was the first time I had heard the album and I did exactly what you did. I put on the headphones and walked around in the snow at night. Benighted was the coolest experience in the snow. What a fucking song!!!! Now everytime I hear it I think of the snow at night time. It doesnt get much better than that.

When the snow comes, I'm going to lay down in it while The Leper Affinity plays...

I just saw this after replying to your fave bands thread. I have enjoyed the snow(not having to go to school.) It's not as nice as it was when it first snowed. It has gotten dirty and trampled on. Yes, I have been to Manifest. I had heard a lot about it so I finally went about a month ago for the first time and loved it. It's the biggest cd store I have ever been to. Their metal selection was very impressive. I will definitely be going back. However, I wasn't very pleased with the new cds I got b/c most of the cases were cracked. I will probably get used stuff from there but get new cds from theendrecords.com You're right, though. It doesn't get much better than that.

I put on Opeth while walking home from the bus
after work today. It was around -10 C outside,
the wind was blowing and usually I hurry home
because I'm so cold. But listening to
"Blackwater Park" made the walk different.
I couldn't hear my cold footsteps on the ice and
snow, I couldn't hear myself breath.

It was just my heart, my eyes and Opeth!
Ah! It was BEAUTIFUL!!!

I walked really slowly, so that I could listen to
more Opeth. I was enjoying the smell of the cold
air, the dark corners of all the tall buildings, the
stiff trees with snow over them.....

When I started to get closer to my appartment I
started walking around a building, I just didn't
want to go inside! >;oP I'm definitely going to
listen more to music while walking home!
Makes it much more enjoyable! )

Actually, music makes me enjoy life!
