Best song on the record. First time I heard it, I bawled. Then, I dried my tears, grabbed my wallet and scored a copy of the CD. Popped it into player, cranked the volume on this song, and began to bawl some more. "Damnation" is like a soft blanket, warm and fresh out of the dryer. Perfect for rainy days when you're feeling saddened by the world and just need to cry.
Strongly agree! There are many other great Opeth mellow songs but this one is in a different level. It's been more than a decade since the first time I heard this song as well as watched this live performance and the feeling is still there.
I was there front row. That was my voice at 0:30 and it was the greatest concert I ever went to. Had a drink with them backstage before and after the gig. One of the greatest nights of my life.
The vocals on this song....uuuuuuuuuuuuuugggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh, SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO AMAZING...and then the band builds it all up so tight....GD, I LOVE me some Opeth!!!
I can't see the meaning of this life I'm leading I try to forget you as you forgot me This time there is nothing left for you to take This is goodbye Summer is miles and miles away And no one would ask me to stay And I should contemplate this change To ease the pain And I should step out of the rain Turn away Close to ending it all, I am drifting through the stages Of the rapture born within this loss Thoughts of death inside Tear me apart from the core of my soul Summer is miles and miles away And no one would ask me to stay And I should contemplate this change To ease the pain And I should step out of the rain Turn away At times the dark's fading slowly But it never sustains Would someone watch over me In my time of need? Summer is miles and miles away And no one would ask me to stay And I should contemplate this change To ease the pain And I should step out of the rain Turn away (Be Happy Edmund)
This song and Opeth are the perfect response to the millions of comments I consistently see when I watch "classic" song videos on You Tube..you know the deal.. folks say stuff like "Oh music was much better way back when" etc etc.."today's stuff is mush".."zero talent" etc etc" This hauntingly, beautiful song is such a lesson in that if you keep an open mind you will find moments of musical bliss even greater at times then those classics..I'm blessed to have applied the above to my love of Opeth and their beautiful, beautiful music
This DVD reminds me when i was younger, i used to play it while i was Reading Drácula from Bram Stocker and this song link me into that atmosphere so strong. Weird, but i love it.
Funny you mention gothic fiction and Opeth. When this album came out I was reading Anne Rice. I remember because I ended up using the lyrical booklet as a bookmark. Rice isn't quite on Stoker's level but it was a nice match regardless.
@@pineapplepeanuts I read Rice's Lestat while listening to Riverside's Anno Domini High Definition, and believe me it couldn't had a better soundtrack. Now I just can't read and listen to music at the same time

You're right

PERFECT DESCRIPTION
How i the world u ve been able to pick a best song on this record.. I couldn’t..
REAL AS FUCK
I was there front row. That was my voice at 0:30 and it was the greatest concert I ever went to. Had a drink with them backstage before and after the gig. One of the greatest nights of my life.
I listened to this song over ten times today, no joke. This song is so beautifully melancholic.
music is my life m2
some voices will leave, one day. unrealized truth, their truth, my truth, our truth. opinions#.
Man, that fill at 3:55. Martin Lopez was so good.
He was for sure.
This music is my lullaby. I am suffering with a break up and all i can listen to is this song.
Best drummer they ever had.
Definitely in the top 2.
Martin lopez
Daniel Gordy Zenza Ragi on the drums :p
Truth!
Gene
It’s criminal how unexcited the crows seemed for damnation. That album is the sole reason i ever even tried listening to Opeth and I’m obsessed now
Mikael:*blinks*
The Crowd:*CHEERS*
His blinks are captivating tbf
Those drums fills... amazing !!!
music for classy gentlemen and ladies
Prashanna Gautam lolz
Agree!!
That’s like saying Cannibal Corpse is elegant
I need my classy gentleman :(
@Veloth noice
When sadness and sorrow become music
Well, there's actually a song called Sadness and Sorrow.
@@lucasdurval3484 i see, you're a man of culture as well
And I … should step out of the rain, turn away. This line means to me more than you can imagine,thank you for everything you do Opeth
Feels like the solution to the problems I created, yet unsolvable
Lopez you legend!
absolutely
Best Opeth line up ever
what a great drummer!
In my time of neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed
One word: Masterpiece
This song is so beautiful and also reminds me a lot of the album "In the awake of Poseidon" by King Crimson
The Melotron is very King Crimsonish. It reminded of Starless.
The drums from Epitaph as well
The vocals on this song....uuuuuuuuuuuuuugggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh, SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO AMAZING...and then the band builds it all up so tight....GD, I LOVE me some Opeth!!!
I can't see the meaning of this life I'm leading
I try to forget you as you forgot me
This time there is nothing left for you to take
This is goodbye
Summer is miles and miles away
And no one would ask me to stay
And I should contemplate this change
To ease the pain
And I should step out of the rain
Turn away
Close to ending it all, I am drifting through the
stages
Of the rapture born within this loss
Thoughts of death inside
Tear me apart from the core of my soul
Summer is miles and miles away
And no one would ask me to stay
And I should contemplate this change
To ease the pain
And I should step out of the rain
Turn away
At times the dark's fading slowly
But it never sustains
Would someone watch over me
In my time of need?
Summer is miles and miles away
And no one would ask me to stay
And I should contemplate this change
To ease the pain
And I should step out of the rain
Turn away
(Be Happy Edmund)
In my fuckin time of need - legendary song! Horns high \m/
Glad to see I am not the only one listening to this song nonstop.
Best era,line-up,albums.Best everything.The REAL Opeth ♥
AAAAAAH, BANDA MARAVILHOSA DO CARALHO! ❤️ (amo essa música)
What a perfect composed piece of music, even live on stage. The Harvest got my attention and this song has got my interest. Thank you
Listen to Still Life if you haven't already and go from there.

I'm rereading Frankenstein while listening to this right now actually. What a koinkidink
I need to go to opet's concert before I die
Spend whatever you need to, it is totally worth it.

Damnation is an album that will be on every device i own for the rest of my life!

So beautiful.

The best Opeth line-up
Beautiful.
MAGNIFICA!! Opeth GRANDE band!!
Always funny seeing the person at 3:10 stop once they realize the lyrics. But.. that would've been me up until a couple weeks ago with this song
Love comparing this with most recent performances and notice how much Opeth in general improved
Song perfect

Im glad I got to see them do this live at Deep Ellum in Dallas TX. Thank you Opeth!!!!
Beatiful!!!! Soy de Argentina , hermosa canción con mucho sentimiento
Lucky crowd damn.

La letra de este tema, me parte el cerebro.
Mikael deberías poder componer mas canciones como este set.
Sunday morning, it´s foggy outside and I have weed, I love to smoke to this song!
Andres Larenas Monday morning overcast here in the Poconos. On duty and fucking feeling this shit. I get goosebumps everytime I listen.
Drogadicto del sistema.
Belongs with the greatest prog songs ever written.Period.
Damnation (In my time of need). Entre los temas más líricos.

When i listen this i think about Group named Anathema

The way he sings "and Iiiiiiiiiii" sounds like "let him die" creepy
Ffuck you are right
Cant unhear it now
I hear "when I die"
This probably be the only Video in You tube which has 0 Dislikes :O ..!
Shows How Precise and Amazing they are..! :) Love Opeth
Why is this so good?
Talent

Hermoso tema. Es un placer escucharlo
Men lopez is so good
