Saddest Opeth songs?

[in limbow]

I would say April Ethereal, To Bid You Farewell, White Cluster, Face of Melinda, Epilogue, Isolation years, Wreath

 

[JoeVice]

face of melinda

"promise is made, but my heart is thine"

or maybe isolation years

 

[Jude]

Face of Melinda, To Bid You Farewell, The Night and the Silent Water, Isolation Years, all of Damnation

 

[atrocity]

the whole MAYH.

especially prologue, ending of DoTF , Credence ..

 

[Header]

Without a doubt: credence
reallydepressing, but beautifull!

 

[steel102]

credence and face of melinda. the clean singing, followed by growling, followed by a solo in april ethereal. makes me feel all

 

[Babetee1]

To Bid You Farewell

 

[Manbient]

maybe lyrically, but i don't find Credence depressing musically. I'd have to go with To Bid You Farewell as their saddest song.

 

[dishcloth]

the night and the silent water, to bid you farewell, hours of wealth, isolation years, dirge for november and the apostle in triumpth

 

[rissy]

To Bid You Farewell (the song is really depressing if you feel bit low) and The Night And The Silent Water.

 

[Risquit]

In order:

1. Hope Leaves
2. Isolation Years
3. Hours of Wealth
4. When

 

[Reveries]

I dont know.... Dirge for november is pretty sad, Godshead lament as well

 

[Mr. Josey Wales]

hours of wealth sounds like it would fit perfectly at the end of the damnation album. i think this song is a little overlooked. love the vocal melodies, lyrics, and guitar solos. very depressing, and bluesy sounding. very cool atmosphere

 

[Reveries]

yes, same with a fair judgement

 

[Ecto]

Patterns In The Ivy 2

 

[Reveries]

that is good Requim also

 

[Necromortis]

Face of Melinda, Requiem, Dirge for November, Credence, Patterns in the Ivy II, and To Bid You Farewell

Also, I find Moonlapse Vertigo to be quite sad (5:26-6:00). Definately not their saddest, but sad.

 

[BlackenedDawn]

To Bid You Farewell. of course, Forest of October, Night & The Silent Water, When, Credence, White Cluster, Face of Melinda, Harvest, A Fair Judgment, and countless moments from Damnation and Ghost Reveries. The ending of Moonlapse Vertigo is very sad, one of the reasons why I love that song so much. The majority of Opeth's musical existence is based in sadness; Another one of their flawless qualities.

 

[svish]

I think Harvest is really the saddest Opeth song (though I prefer To Bid You Farewell to it).

 

[angelofdeath9308]

To Bid you Farewell, or the break in the song the Twilight is my Robe is beautiful, but somewhat sad.
