Which Opeth track should I play at my wedding reception?

Either way.

Fuck yeah!!

 

[Natural Born Chaos]

Those are both songs about lost love (or at least they seem melancholic enough to be). I would pick something a little more optimistic for a wedding. Even though Opeth is my favorite band I don't think I'd want any of their stuff played at my wedding (if I ever got married).

 

[Thorns of Sorrow]

Benighted is PERFECT.

Thanks, Thornie. Now I just hope that he checks the tread again so he'll see it...

Whoa.....when I saw the thread title, I was going to say A Fair Judgement or Credence....but they were the only two in the poll

I'd go with A Fair Judgement

 

[Duvall]

epilogue would work nicely for some parts of a wedding.. though the title (along with every other track from MAYH) implies love lost (as stated above).

Of the two, A Fair Judgement. Let's see the in-laws polka dance to that!

I think "Harvest" or "Benighted" sound the most "romantic." (in a good way)

"Fair Judgement" is great but darker and dirge-like. But in a way, it would be cool to start your marriage on a pessimistic note, for ironic fun: "Nothing's left here..." Yeah, that's the spirit.

"Credence" is not my favorite, but has a nice feel and tempo for the moment.

Play Nectar at the reception, for obvious reasons...

 

[DarkHawk]

Maybe, you could play the last couple minutes of the Apostle In Truimph !! Great ending!

 

[SentencedToBurn]

out of those two i would say credence so you dont scare the guests.

But Still day is perfect.

I don't want to sound like a prick, but I'd say that that Opeth doesn't really suit weddings...I mean just read the lyrics...not exactly warm, uplifting stuff. A funeral on the other hand, for sure... The only Opeth song I'd consider at my wedding would be Silhouette

 

[Lakestream]

Patterns in the Ivy II

the only opeth song that'd suit a wedding, IMO

(but even that one has depressing lyrics, so it's not the best wedding-song)

I second "This heart of mine (I pledge)" by Pain of Salvation, btw
