I still dont know what it meant to him when he wrote it but ever since i heard it first, it means a lot to me. I dont really listen to Opeth anymore but I listen to this song and I play it with my acoustic. It's like cry-porn, idk how to explain it and i definitely wouldn't talk to someone in person about it since im a man not supposed to cry Very good song tho, wish it wasnt on a concept album so it made more sense on its own but idk maybe thatd ruin it
Come into this night Here we´ll be gone So far away From our weak and crumbling lives Come into this night When days are done Lost and astray In what´s vanished from your eyes What came and distorted your sight Saw you benighted by your fright Come into this night Your plight alone Carry your weight You are flawed as all of us Come into this night You only home It´s never too late To repent, suffer the loss Come into this night When you´re able To undo your deeds And atone with your lonely soul Once you´re into this night All minds are stable Forget all your needs Lose the grip of all control
I totally agree with him.. Nick Drake is one of the most underrated singer songwriters of the last 30 or 40 years. This song feels like a nick drake song with an opeth take on it. Absolute genius from both artists regardless
actually for those who listen well, benighted's song structure and style is very similar to Nick Drake's Three Hours. The only Camel inflluence is the intro piece
@@bigassdummy46 it wasn’t record original but im so happy it isn’t. That interlude section was much sadder and softer still trying to figure out how he played that. No need to be perfectionist
What does Classical Music have this Music doesn't have? Nothing! I Relish in many pieces from both Genre's and find the level of both Discipline and Skill necessary to participate or appreciate either equal, period.
My thoughts exactly ! I will always stand that Metal is the heir of classical music, Mozart or Beethoven would dig the hell out of an Album like Rust in Peace or Still Life !
Hey man. I know it´s been 10 months since you commented. I tried to play this song slightly drunk. It´s fucking impossible. There are so much ways you change your fingers, you have to to be sober to play this accuratly
Dalton Haverland The church in question is architecturally beautiful and also a music venue. All people should be allowed in to view its beauty or see the entertainment on offer, they shouldn’t have to betray their convictions to do so. Wait! Are atheists not allowed in churches? Maybe their blood will boil huh? Lol.
I want an entire Opeth concert of just their calm stuff.
i saw them do a performance like this at berklee college of music in like 2006
pulled out my old box of ticket stubs - it was july 19th 2003 - over 20 years ago now! life really zips by fast, damn.
@@meshzzizkain’t that the truth.🤘🏻
Mikael could have a second career as a stand up comedian if he wanted to.
pensé lo mismo!
tipycal opeth fans : headbanging on acoustic songs
Nothing can be better than Opeth going Acoustic..
This song brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it.
dead Same here

@@Zmej420BlazeIt dude I recommend you to listen entire album from beginning because the whole album tells a story
@@samed3554one of my very favorite O albums.🤘🏻
Mike Akerfeldt - phenomenally talented musician and onstage banter champion. Fantastic stuff!
my favorite band, I love this music.
Mikael talking about Nick Drake just makes my heart fill up with joy
Come into this night
Here we´ll be gone
So far away
From our weak and crumbling lives
Come into this night
When days are done
Lost and astray
In what´s vanished from your eyes
What came and distorted your sight
Saw you benighted by your fright
Come into this night
Your plight alone
Carry your weight
You are flawed as all of us
Come into this night
You only home
It´s never too late
To repent, suffer the loss
Come into this night
When you´re able
To undo your deeds
And atone with your lonely soul
Once you´re into this night
All minds are stable
Forget all your needs
Lose the grip of all control

I think its more inspired by Camel than Nick drake,,, amazing anyway,,, one of my favorite tunes ever...
Yea, Camel "Never Let Go."
The intro is totally ripped off by never let go
nothing to do with nick drake, except fingerstyle, i agree
actually for those who listen well, benighted's song structure and style is very similar to Nick Drake's Three Hours. The only Camel inflluence is the intro piece
@@mohamadibrahim3799 This! Also, the lyrical content has a Nick drake-ish vibe written all over it.
i would love to see them perform this live ive seen them a couple of times but to see them perform this song would be amazing love OPETH
cant get enough of the solo
He is still very much plugged in
literally no wrong note lol insane and I know how hard it is to play perfect acoustic
this was far from perfect
@@bigassdummy46 You sure would have done it much better
@@bigassdummy46 it wasn’t record original but im so happy it isn’t. That interlude section was much sadder and softer still trying to figure out how he played that. No need to be perfectionist
Fantastic video and sound! It's like being there all over again!

Truth!
My thoughts exactly ! I will always stand that Metal is the heir of classical music, Mozart or Beethoven would dig the hell out of an Album like Rust in Peace or Still Life !
It hints at that direction, but this does not exhibit the same rigor as the most "exemplary" classical music.
Could be so...
I love this song..!!!
Very very nice başamced vibe tones mikael 👍👍👍👍🙇♂️
Thanks for the videos Munky
Opeth mentioning Nick Drake? Who is that? The rabbit hole just gets deeper for me. I introduced to Opeth and Katatonia in the last 4 years lol
He’s great! You ever get around to listening?
OMG I love you Mikael I have to say
thank you for this upload! :)
Camel - Never Let me Go
please, compose some fugues for organs to suply Bach´s ones!!!
Planet Caravan by Black Sabbath
Mikael never takes any opportunity to improvise. I’ve heard him say severely times how he can’t do it. I guess he really believes that.
what is that song that mike plays in the beggining?
Planet Caravan by Black Sabbath
So it's inspired by Nick Drake, not Camel :D
They were doing a ww tour that includes my country, but was cancelled by the fucking pandemic
They must have been a bit drunk when they did this :D Mikael is trolling even more than usual
Hey man. I know it´s been 10 months since you commented. I tried to play this song slightly drunk. It´s fucking impossible. There are so much ways you change your fingers, you have to to be sober to play this accuratly
@@NE0MASAnd even sober can be a challenge
Why this guy headbang?
i think it's meth addict.
good music tends to take over your body
why does mikaels guitar look like its half sized
skip to 2:10 for the action.........(your welcome).
But why would you skip that though
"Gay men distorted your sight" lol
Please no
Saw you be tied by your thighs
I remember surge lo
Is it me or did Mike fuck up the solo? Or maybe it's the guitar?
+Nabil Hamdi he said it's been too much time since he played that song.
2:04 to skip Mikael's speech.
Don't want to ;-)
Phoenix Decim fuck you
Anki Hansen But in all honesty, why would one do such a thing, right?
@@francismcalister7811 if you come here twice, pretty useful
Kind of heart-breaking to hear Mikael say "I'm not Christian, I don't care", especially without context
I think he was talking about swearing in a church. It’s just a building, that was the context.
@@MunkyFuzzable oh, but if they decide to play in a church, kind of a diff story lol. I hope he felt some sort of conviction

hail satan. don’t listen to Still Life too closely now, you might get sad.
@@eighteen-naked-cowboys I've moved onto better bands. God cancelled my Opeth show for a reason. Jesus is king
What's up with this quiet-ass audience?!
Its rude to not be quiet during a quiet song
Jesse Kangas I'm talking about the incredibly lame amount of applause afterwards! I would've been losing my mindballs if I heard this live.
They probably already lost their mindballs.
Fredrik totally SUCKS at fingerpicking. He butchered the song from start to finish.
you don't know shit. he didn't play it as clean as the album version that's all
Fuck Off!
…and can you play it better in front of a crowd
@@tomb2577 it's His job, not mine.
i keep saying that but... we never do :)
