Their stuff is light, poignant, sad, heavy, dark, intense, even a bit twisted but there is always an element of beauty. That solo stuff from 4:37 fwd, gets me choked up. Mikael Akerfeldt is a master songwriter, great guitarist, singer, extraordinary talent that comes along once in a lifetime.
Gustavo Amaral I listened to this during a blizzard outside on my porch, while stoned and on DXM. Besides the difficulty lighting my bowl it was one of the best night of my life.
When I first heard Damnation was a soft album I was like "lol that's kinda lame". When I actually heard the album for the first time I realized that it wasn't a soft album technically. Like, it's soft sound wise, but the overall feel of it is just oppressively, but it's lyrically their heaviest. Like, it's the musical equivalent of a dying old man reflecting on his failures. This album alone made me love Opeth more than I already did.
This was my first contact with the whole band. I agree with the lyrics and beautiful compositions with a sound engineering that supports the lyrics. I think
Lyrics: "Windowpane" Blank face in the windowpane Made clear in seconds of light Disappears and returns again Counting hours, searching the night Might be waiting for someone Might be there for us to see Might be in need of talking Might be staring directly at me Inside plays a lullaby Slurred voice over children cries On the inside Haunting loneliness in the eye Skin covering a secret scar His hand is waving a goodbye There's no response or action returned There is deep prejudice in me Outshines all reason inside Given dreams all ridden with pain And projected unto the last

Woke up with a pounding headache today. It's the first day of fall. It's been lightly raining. I've been looking out my window and drinking cups of hot coffee, and this song immediately came to mind. ❤
eerily similar story here, three days after you posted your comment. Beginning of fall, woke up at 5 AM today, pitch black outside and pouring rain, had too much coffee yesterday, have a headache presumably from poor sleep quality due to caffeine's effects on sleep. I thought "I should re-listen to Windowpane by Opeth. See if I can recapture the feelings I had when I discovered this song for the first time seven years ago." Welp, I only recaptured 50% of those feelings. This is probably my 100th re-listen to this song by this point, literally. At least, on this listen, I was able to pay attention to the choice of instruments a little more. I paid attention to the song structure a little more, noting that there are two guitar soloes, and that neither is technically difficult but is extremely moving and classy nonetheless. And that the violins/double bass and the "choir" in the background at certain parts in this song tremendously add to its already classy, moving vibe. Musically, it seems the Swedes and Brits can do no wrong. Akerfeldt is a genius and Steven Wilson is too. ❤from the USA.
@@TheGuitarifier None of those are mellow at all. They just don't have high gain distortion and growls and have more keyboard. Damnation is very unique in all of their discography specifically for it's mellow vibe throughout.
Danmation's album is all for me, when I'm not feeling very well, when I feel sad, when I'm depressed, I always listen to this album. I feel it in my soul.
I bought this album 15 years ago, alongside Blackwater Park on a suggestion from a friend as I was getting into metal. I could not have been any more fortunate at the time than to find this band. I cried and laughed to this album for no particular reason, the sound took the drivers seat, and I was just strung along with the absolute beauty of the compositions. Thanks, Opeth.
this song kidnaps my soul away from my body and into an infinite space where nothing but emotion exist. No logic, No thinking, Just feeling. First time i listened to this song was 2010, never had a device since then where it wasn't downloaded. This isn't a song, It's a drug. Everything is so perfectly crafted, The instruments clash with each other with so much unison and coordination, and the voice of Mikael Åkerfeldt is so soothing and powerful at the same time, i can feel the words he is saying, and they're only heightened by the angelic melancholy of this beautiful symphony. It is a shame. This song, it's quality. It feels like serious injustice that only a few millions have heard this song, It should be held at the same regard that genius musicians are. I will never stop listening to this song, it has captured my heart, and i feel it will only release it after another masterpiece like this comes out. So far, none have made my ears tear up like this song has. Thank You Opeth, This song may not be popular, but know that the people that listen to it, have nothing less than love and appreciation for this masterpiece.
One of my favorite parts of this entire album is that little drum break at 3:36. I would absolutely love to hear Lopez's isolated drum tracks from this record. Such a beautiful sounding kit.
Yesterday the person who gave me the pleasure of know Opeth took the decision of take his life away, my entire feeling is confusion. I wasn't too close to him but this is a heartbreaker anyway. Rip Mariano 17-06-24, Thanks for all.
In my dream today i was humming this very solo. I woke up, frantically searched for my earphones and phone and put the song on. Never been so fulfilled. It was at 3am
I play the guitar and was very immersed in a facebook post then this solo brought me back to reality.. I was like: shit how dope is this. So I have to agree.
0:35 I know Lopez isn't the first drummer to play this beat. But this moment remains a defining one in my musical life. The perfection of everything happening here just left a profound influence on my drumming that continues 16 years later.
I've listened to this song hundreds of times whether be it live or the studio version - and I fucking know that I will NEVER get tired of it. Pure beauty!
i was listening to this song in my first day of medical school , now that i heard it , i remembered every detail about that day , a song can take you places ....

@@martinrasinger6306 Better late than never ! I would like to recommend you a different song/band that I also discovered not too long ago, ''Death - Voice of the soul''
My dad's favourite album, from his favourite band. Damnation will always remind me of him. He's still alive, I'm just nostalgic about my childhood, and the memories of him always being by my side. I could have ended my life a few months ago, but this album has always had my back. Thanks, Opeth.
Before Opeth I could not listen growling metal one bit. This kind of using of perfect harmonies with mixture of different kinds of emotions in music really caught me. And yes this album and this song was crucial for me to getting used to the band's style and then moving on to Blackwater park and Ghost reveries which became even a bigger favorite for me than this album. What a band, none other is good at this level of progressive metal which is not just bout rhytm but really getting the amount of depth to a one song.

I remember reading an interview with Mikael where he mentioned the lyrical inspiration for this song. He was out partying with some friends one night, and on the way home at like 3 AM he happened to see an old man looking out from a window. Nothing else happened, but he started to imagine what that man's life might be like and wrote these lyrics. It's basically about loneliness and the many (often older) people society forgets about.
I always thought "Happiness is a warm gun" by The Beatles was the main inspiration. The guitar and vocals sound very much alike and there's even a reference to a windowpane in the Beatles song.
That part only clarifies this is the very Opeth that made Still Life or Blackwater Park you know IMHO - From a shitless slave region of humanism being suffered under hoon-tribe-originated-parasitism and kiki'she' collectivism which is known as the name 'Korea', whose dwellers always steals and begs from Japan's original history which clearly inherited sincere humanity in Ancient Cudara more than its 'original' dwellers in hometown.

I grew up with opeth because my mom would listen to it 24/7 and she still does she has mercy and everything, the same with the Beatles and more And some of my favorite parts in the song is: 2:303:204:02

It just makes me truly happy to see how many views this under appreciated masterpiece has gotten.. maybe there is hope for humanity! Anyone who can recognize the wonder and beauty in this is someone I consider my friend. We are a fortunate group guys and gals. 😢
I remember Mikael saying that Camel was one if his biggest influences. You can clearly hear it in this song - the part between 5:00 and 5:50 for example
I just read the comments on this video. It brought a smile to my face. Granted, i was also listening to the song, preparing to listen to the whole album.
Thanks for sharing, excellent audio quality. One of my favorite bands of all time. Saw them live front row about 10 years ago in Virginia, hands down the best concert I've ever seen as far as the audio mixing, musicianship, modest volume, and sheer performance of the band. I've seen Rush, Porcupine Tree, Dream Theater, System of a Down, Joe Satriani and many others. Opeth takes the cake
Opeth is such a good band they both inspire and discourage me simultaneously. Its not that I feel that they're that much better than me, as much as that I don't know that I could consistently put out such masterful works as they do. Every element is perfect. No note feels wrong, even when it's especially dissonant. In fact, the dissonance always resolves leaving you feeling more at peace with the tension..
If this does not make you feel something, you should seek attention. These are masters in which we all are blessed to witness their creations. What a ridiculously solidly unique group. Damn they are awesome. Right??!!??!
Amazing song. The song that introduced me to Opeth way back in 2003. Saw them in Sydney in 2004 and only knew the Damnation and Deliverance albums, totally blew me away. Have seen them 3 more times since, once from side stage and met Mendez, just a brilliant band.
This song has some of the most beautiful and well written guitar work Ive ever heard.
Their stuff is light, poignant, sad, heavy, dark, intense, even a bit twisted but there is always an element of beauty. That solo stuff from 4:37 fwd, gets me choked up. Mikael Akerfeldt is a master songwriter, great guitarist, singer, extraordinary talent that comes along once in a lifetime.
1 billion percent agree. That was very well said, my friend.

Calling music "soft" is the biggest cancer of the metal head community. Hard/soft doesn't matter when the music is incredible.

So many years have passed since I heard this song and it still makes me cry. 👌
The thing I like about Opeth is that it's one of those bands that really expands your consciousness at least for me it does
One of the best bands in this century. I do miss the original group, they had such a vibe.
I just read the comments on this video. It brought a smile to my face. Granted, i was also listening to the song, preparing to listen to the whole album.
18 years of this masterpiece! Opeth rules!
Thanks for sharing, excellent audio quality. One of my favorite bands of all time. Saw them live front row about 10 years ago in Virginia, hands down the best concert I've ever seen as far as the audio mixing, musicianship, modest volume, and sheer performance of the band. I've seen Rush, Porcupine Tree, Dream Theater, System of a Down, Joe Satriani and many others. Opeth takes the cake
Opeth is such a good band they both inspire and discourage me simultaneously. Its not that I feel that they're that much better than me, as much as that I don't know that I could consistently put out such masterful works as they do. Every element is perfect. No note feels wrong, even when it's especially dissonant. In fact, the dissonance always resolves leaving you feeling more at peace with the tension..
3:39 damn a heck of an Opeth moment this is
OPETH FOREVER🇵🇦❤️
Скільки років слухаю цей твір - шедевр! Обожнюю💛💙😎
I woke up at 3am to a full moon and this song in my head last night. Havent' listened in 10+ years. Spooky
When i think about Opeth i always return to this album.
This album is supposed to be dreary and depressing, yet I find it extremely fun to listen to. It genuinely makes me feel cozy and happy.
Nostalgia?
@@WFly101 Maybe. Though there aren't many moments in my past that these songs remind me of, and I've only been listening to Opeth for a couple months.
@@pablo-arteagaI don't even remember writing that comment. Weird..
It's impossible to call this song objectively bad. A true Masterpiece!
5:32 is probably the best bend i've ever heard , addictable
We drove for two hours across Finland to watch them play this....I gotta say it was pretty cool!
Two hours is child’s play to see such a legendary band. You are fortunate.
Opeth jeden z największych zespołów ostatnich kilkunastu lat, this band is like air for live
If this does not make you feel something, you should seek attention. These are masters in which we all are blessed to witness their creations. What a ridiculously solidly unique group. Damn they are awesome. Right??!!??!
Right!!!🎶🔥🎶
Dieses Lied ist wunderschön, jedes Mal, wenn ich es höre, fühle ich mich wie im Himmel.🇵🇦🇵🇦✈️💙
The mellow parts in Jinjer Pisces reminds me of this song so much.
Hey i love that song!
That damn solo at 4:36...
I burst into tears the first time I heard it.
It has haunted me ever since...
I'm here cause the girl I love told me about this song ❤️ funny, smart, beautiful, and she has great taste in music. I have goosebumps 😘
@subcomandante marcos how do you know that was not her man posting on her name? how do you know her name is Katie?
@@ronkozlowski8169 There's a possibility they're both girls
Defo a keeper
She's a keeper
NEVER LET HER GO
Amazing song. The song that introduced me to Opeth way back in 2003. Saw them in Sydney in 2004 and only knew the Damnation and Deliverance albums, totally blew me away. Have seen them 3 more times since, once from side stage and met Mendez, just a brilliant band.
This is literally the most complete, versatile, and simply perfect song. Yes!!! 🤘❤❤❤
Fine song. 100% Prog Rock. Pure Progressive Rock in the 21st century ! Thank you Opeth :)
I was here to just listen to "To bid you farewell" but after that this is 6th songs. Couldn't pause or close. Opeth you devil.
So good for cloudy misty days
You've got to approach this band with an opeth mind 🙂
HAHHAHA BRUHHH
Noooooo!
@@rogerfreeman6787 🤣🤣🤣
