WTF? Mikael's least favorite Opeth song is "The Night and the Silent Water?"

[Opethfan1980]

That's really surprising. I wonder why.

Personally, "The Night and the Silent Water" is my all time favorite song (out of every band, ever).

I'm surprised that it's Mikael's least favorite Opeth song.

I wonder what he doesn't like about it...

 

[Opethfan1980]

The lyrics are great, too.

Yeah its still a great song, but it definately is not one of my favorite Opeth songs....

 

[R.I.P.2]

Strange. One of my favourite songs.

He dedicates this song to his grand-father (Who is dead by now)...maybe it pains him while listening to it, which is why he "don't like" to listen to it!
I don't know...

I myself found that TNATSW is a good Opeth song except for the last acoustic part which is stunning beyond words...

I think it's an awesome track.

He wrote it, so he hears things and feels things while listening to it that we'll never understand.

 

[Opethfan1980]

Well it was written after his grandfather passed.


It's gotta be one of Mikael's most personal songs.

Maybe, you're right Chanso, maybe it's painful to listen to.

I was also surprised to see that Under The Weeping Moon is one of his favourites... despite it hardly getting mentioned on this board... I think that's really cool because it's one of my favourite Opeth songs (especially the solo).

TNATSW is like my favorite song also.. haha.. check out my name.

 

[Katatonic]

it was the first opeth song i ever heard that gave me constant chills for the duration of the song. the only one actually...

 

[Bloody B]

Personally, I think it's one of their finest, but that's only me.

 

[Lethe78]

It is also one of my favourites. Not quite as good as In Mist She Was Standing, but still phenominal.

Ever been given head during that song? It's almost like listening to it, but better.

I think that would be any song.
