I know there've been many, many threads like this, but I would still like to thank Mike from the depths of my heart.
See, on last Thursday, my father died. He suffered a severe CVA on monday and went into a state of comatose. He died on Thursday. As if that's not enough, my grandfather died on Friday, less than 24 hours after him, of cardiac arrest. During this tough weekend, I had nothing to keep me occupied since I didn't want to do anything. The only thing that kept me together was Opeth's music, so emotional and heart-speaking. Damnation, Still Life, Ghost Reveries - these albums were so close to me on this weekend that I just felt like I had to share my sad story with you guys.
The only things I did since they passed away was put the finishing touches on a drawing I've been working on for a long time, and go to a double-funeral this afternoon. They were both buried in the local cemetery, one hour between them.
And yet again - now that I'm in my room, I can't do anything but listen to Opeth.
So, thank you, Mike, for your music. The music you truly connect to shows its true quality when you're in need of relief. Your music is just that.
Thanks for bearing with me, everybody.
Have a great week.
