The most beautiful Opeth song

[Black Rose]

Face of Melinda
Credence
Death Whispered a Lullaby
Hope Leaves
Benighted

 

[RjBeals]

Too many to name. I agree with everything above (except Black Rose Immortal)

Weakness

 

[Detric]

Prologue, Wreath and Patterns In The Ivy II

 

[AngelinaBlakkheim]

Harvest
To Rid The Disease
In My Time Of Need
Patterns In The Ivy II

Then:
To Bid You Farewell
Benighted
Face Of Melinda
Hope Leaves

EDIT: I forgot Still Day Beneath The Sun, but it reminds me of my grandmother, who died 2 months ago.. and it makes me feel really sad. Anyway, that's also a beautiful song.

Harvest

 

[Rejvk]

To bid you farewell.
The night and the silent water.

I agree with the thread starter that there is just something about Morningrise. Also its not a song but the sunbirds in black rose immortal is beautiful.

 

[Jeed]

the acoustic part around 4:00 in The Twilight Is My Robe is very beautiful i think, and Epilogue is definitely one of the most beautiful songs ive ever heard.

Patterns In The Ivy II is the best though.

 

[Korlich]

Why do ppl think the most beautiful equals the most sad? Weakness is sad but not beatiful. Harvest to me is the most beautiful.

I am voting for weakness. as fragile and beautiful as a crystal (uh, that's a pathetic attempt)...anaway great song, great lyrics!

 

[ChrisAHC]

The accoustic part of Bleak after the singing bit with steve wilson. I love the bit where he sings-

Help me cure you
Atone for all you've done
Help me leave you
As all the days are gone

That sends shivers down my back. Excellent

 

[Rose Immortal]

Why do ppl think the most beautiful equals the most sad? Weakness is sad but not beatiful. Harvest to me is the most beautiful.

For me, what I care about is the emotional impact in general...that can include sadness, certainly--but my personal favorite, "Epilogue", is what I think is actually one of Opeth's most optimistic ever. That song is the dawning of a new morning, in so many ways.

I agree... the character in My Arms Your Hearse goes through absolute torment... "Epilogue" is a huge relief, even if he IS moving on... a very powerful ending.

i really like weakness. it really reminds me of something but i cant put my finger on it.. another song perhaps. its really annoying me now.

Try Led Zeppelin's - No Quarter..

 

[Rose Immortal]

There's also an effect that sounds like a piano put through a Leslie speaker, that reminds me a bit of the intro to Pink Floyd's song "Echoes"...though I think you're probably right that it's closest to "No Quarter".

 

[Overlord Purple Rainbow]

Opeth's "Epilogue" is one of the finest pieces of music ever conceived. I can listen to it when I'm optimistic or depressed, and it makes sense either way. And it's one of the most beautiful pieces of music by ANY BAND...

 

[spigot]

This might be an odd mention but for me its Under the Weeping Moon; extremely atmospheric(with drums aping thunder and their most killer riff ever).
