The most moral Opeth song?

[metal_wrath]

I would have to say "For Absent Friends". I especially was touched by the line where he says "Everybody around the world needs to hold hands...while we pray to Satan", a very moral sentiment. It is very low in the mix, but if you check the lyrics you will see what I'm talking about.

To be serious "Still Day Beneath the Sun" is imo a very good song, about "the souls of those" who have passed away and is not very atheist at all:Smug: .

Patterns in the Ivy II. My individual interpretation is the mourning of a lost love but realising life goes on, and was the song that got me through a VERY tough breakup.

 

[Apostle In Triumph]

I think Blackwater Park and possibly Isolation Years (to me, the moral seems to be cherish who you have before they're gone and you're left in isolation)

Ok, let me rephrase my post then: I happen to identify for some reason with To Bid You Farewell's moral. Better?

The moral may be left to the hearer, reader or viewer to determine for themselves

To Bid You Farewell. Lyrically and musically, that song has always just clicked with me. It's the song that got me into Opeth actually.

That was the same song that got me into Opeth too... followed by Master's Apprentice.

...lmfao. my first instinct was to think you were joking, Mr. Bland, but then i realized there is no way in hell you're joking... and then i got pissed at myself for even thinking that you were joking.

Averse Sefira (obscure BM) plays mostly on that theme. Stuff about how we wish for immortality, but it'd really suck to live forever. Just think of the whole Arwen/Aragon business.

He just has a way of ruining threads and people's opinions and commnets.

EDIT: That would be cool if one day, we saw, "Banned." under his name....
