Stupid question

In Winter, everything already died. In Autumn, everything is dying. There's much more poetic value to something that is dying than something that's already dead.

What makes it a stupid question?

Is it because you can't answer it?

You're killing this forum with your asshattery.

 

[Whisper and Weep]

Well.. the title you gave it suggests it is.
I mean I could answer it but like you said its stupid and I am an asshole.

I titled it 'stupid question' because I figured it was common Opeth fan knowledge, I've only been an Opeth listener for about 2 years.
I happened to notice Mikael use Autumn different times and figured it had some sort of significant meaning.
So now that it seems nobody knows, it's a good question.

You're still an asshat.

 

[Whisper and Weep]

Im an asshat and proud

To the OP, it depends on which autumn you mean. I don't know how it is in the northern hemisphere (grim in the far north - or at least Blackpool) I would imagine , but I can say that in Sydney Australia it has been absolutely glorious. Nice blue skies and mild temperatures.

Nice blue skies and mild temperatures.

That's pretty much how it is here.

I don't understand why they reference autumn so much either. 'Opeth' literally means "City of the Moon", and we all know that the moon has no seasons. Unless the moonrocks all start to change color during autumn or something.

Somehow I doubt that.

Maybe Autumn is Mikael's favorite season. Wish we had an official response.

Stupid question?

No shit.

I think they just dig leaves.

Why is Opeth so fascinated by Autumn?

Seems like every other song I listen to says Autumn at least OVER NINE THOUSANNNNND times. (exaggeration)

What seriously?

Like I said in another thread, every seasons are implicated in Opeth. Maybe if you think Autumn is more present (and that is possible), then it's because it's the "dying" season, the "nostalgic" season, somehow. There's a feeling that comes with it, just like every season, and Autumun mostly represent the feeling given by Opeth's music. Do you like that explanation?
