Your favourite Katatonia 'hook'

[Nehebkau]

What is your favourite Katatonia hook? (A hook is a musical idea, a passage or phrase, that is believed to be appealing and make the song stand out. -taken from wikipedia)

I'm pretty sure their hasn't been a thread on this before so I'll start off...

For My Demons

you would never sleep at night
if you knew what I've been through
and this thought is all I have
to trust upon when light is gone

the way it's sung gets stuck in my head everyday. So... what is yours?

 

[no_reply]

teargas
The deadened sight..........it's been stuck in my head for years already...anytime I play this song I put in on repeat ...repeat...repetition lol

 

[LifeDepraved]

I Am Nothing Chorus.

 

[M3]

Clean Today

Will the streetlights reflect me well enough
Am I transparent when I am clean
Will the darkness around me be so strong
That there is no way I can be seen.

 

[BlueSky]

sweet nurse

teargas

dissolving bonds

wait outside

 

[Cerulean]

I really don't have one favourite part, but lately I've been addicted to parts like
'From the Gateways hear me cry, I love youuuu'
and
'Brave try the meaning of loss, I know your smile is deadly at this point, wherever you are I am not'
I also like the bridge in Complicity

 

[My Hearse Your Arms]

how about a more fun way...
your favorite hook from each album
ok
Dance of December Souls - FALLING.... CRYING.... SLEEPING... THROUGH THE AIR WITH THE EVIL... SHADOWS.... MOVING.... TOWARDS THE SKKYYYY
Brave Murder Day - 'i never thought i would laugh again... i should be knowing this... it used to be me'
Discouraged Ones - ALWAYS CLOSING DOWN MYSELF
Tonight's Decision - For my demons chorus
Last fair deal - WILL THE STREET LIGHTS REFLECT ME WELL ENOUGH? AM I TRANSPARENT WHEN I'M CLEANNNNN WILL THE DARKNESS AROUND ME BE SO STRONG THAT THERE IS NO WAY I CAN BE SEEN... also
THEN LIKE A GHOST AT NIGHT
YOU CRAWL AROUND ALL DRESSED IN WHITE
TALKING TO ME....
Viva... umm... hard one
Will I Arrive - 'look at me now, they cut my hair... it's a long way back'
TGCD - Father, I won't make it... It's a journey of a life..

 

[Venenum Veritas]

"hear myself say
IT CAN'T GET WORSE!"

i have tons of fun singing to that

 

[My Hearse Your Arms]

oh my god yeah...
i forgot about that

 

[requiem]

The main riff from 'For My Demons' which is also the riff during the chorus. Best hook ever? Maybe.

 

[Clayman77]

Bridge from 'Saw You Dwown' that starts with "Don't you know..."

 

[LORD DARKSOUL]

I'll go with the chorus of "Chrome."

I find those lyrics to be extremely visual and haunting, and that little keyboard flourish is just the icing on the cake of sadness.

 

[Phoenix5]

The Wait Outside Chorus is quite sexy...

 

[stefan86]

Had To Leave:
I had a choice
You had to leave
Into the night
This was my choice

Clean Today:
Will the streetlights reflect me well enough
Am I transparent when I am clean
Will the darkness around me be so strong
That there is no way I can be seen.

Chrome:
Burn down my house..

Criminals:
Gather your strength and break free..

 

[BlueSky]

Criminals:
Gather your strength and break free..

Definitely

 

[stefan86]

Definitely

That whole song is musical orgasm though

 

[Hypnos]

Will I Arrive: the chorus 'Defy only...' so phantastic!

Criminals: So gather all your strength and break free + (wahwahwahwah)

Brave: the Maiden-style guitar in the middle-part

July: the whole damn song, esp. the drums!

Soil's Song: who's first? ok

A Premonition: the sound of Jonas' vocals in the 'Keep it quiet here'-part

Walking By A Wire: the chous 'My youth unknown to me...'

Sweet Nurse: the guitar melody in the beginning of theis song and during the chorus

 

[BlueSky]

Will I Arrive: the chorus 'Defy only...' so phantastic!

I was about to say this.

 

[Phoenix5]

Soil's Song definitely has a few good ones.

 

[the mourner13]

A Premonition: the sound of Jonas' vocals in the 'Keep it quiet here'-part

O how I adore that part!!


And Had to Leave:
it's so hard to explain what I meant
when I said that I wanted you dead
but I saw you fuck up and I just can't get back
the feeling I had for you
so I put all my strength into my only will
it was the only thing to do
and now I only regret that I cried
cause you would never do that for me


Strained:Chorus

A Darkness Coming:That killer lead guitar part!!!

Actually every fuckin moment in Tonight's Decision...
