The ending of this song is filled with such unspeakable sorrow. I guess it's true that music is one thing that gets the closest to expressing the inexpressible.
were doomed to this earth, but with melodies and amazing sounds like this... really will just help us distract the look toward our self ignorance!!! simply a real face of beauty!!!!
Reminds me of the "Eviga Riket"-story by Cult of Luna. Or maybe the other way round, as this one was released first. Anyway, beautiful song, with or without a video...
"I wander between two worlds / No one can see me" and "But I swear / I will put them to eternal sleep /Then I can leave..." seems to be about a soul unable to pass on (read: die for good), and is being tormented by apparent wish of revenge (which manifested in mirror-scene). perhaps she was drowned (cloth on the water might serve a symbol of it) to the stream, i dont know but it seems to be linked to the house.
Shit day but god this song has made me feel so much better! But then again all Swallow the sun's work is magnificent and uplifting, Oh if only they came to Australia.....
most rock/metal clips are really dull and {often} dumb (my opinion, of course), but this video is beautifully shot and creates a mood like the song. Swallow the Sun is like the Pink Floyd of doom/deah metal.
@rmed30, Swallow (live at FME 2006) starts with this kind of stuff but later descends to more traditional chaos. Descending Winter is a quickie, dont fall asleep goes doomy on its outro but before its basically sts's view on melodeath if you will. Weight of the dead, the massive closing track of their latest starts with in your face riffage before going doomy. it ends with absolutely epic kind of crushing ambient segment. its HUGE. Deadly Nightshade from their first is also .. ehh. sped up, heh
this song reminds of reading that book, and the author was obviously morbidly suicidal, the most sorrowful depressing hopeless book ever, and i finished it...... dun dun dadun!!!
Very spooky song. It leaves a strane feeling behind inside you. Beautiful. Does anyone what they mean about the knew release. I forget the name, something plague... They said it is one song in three parts and that it is 35 minutes long, then they mention something about it coinciding with a short film. Help anybody?
its going to be basically one song, 35 mins long but technically its divided to three "movements", kinda subsongs or something. and yes, Plague of butterflies was intended to be the OST for a short film but they had to ditch the original idea. however, they havent arsed the idea completely and are looking for another method for it. so it album comes first, film later (if they find the means for it)
@ihavetourettesxx well, i will say a proper high tempo blastbeat takes a load of concentration to perform and very much patience to master. a drummer is the conductor of his band, and it is proper for rapid passages
I seriously tried my best to appreciate this song in any eccentric way possible... but I just cant seem to manage... if any is able to take the time to explain to me the beauty that I am obviously missing in this, please do and I ll be in your debt
Великолепная композиция!!! Слушаю годами ,и не наслушаюсь👏👏👏 браво!!!
Божественно. Никогда не надоест
Завораживающая композиция -- классика группы
I can't get tired of listening to this, great song.
2022, still slowly and morosely headbanging to this.
This song is great. I walk to this song everyday. Exercise is good ;-)

The ending break down of this song is so legend. Love it
Every word i'll say to embrace this band will be needless because the music speaks for itself. The clip is just as awesome too.Thanks for posting
this is one of my favorite bands for that reason
its so dam dark
Im Going To See them Today!!!! Fantastic Band!! Stay Doom!!!!
I love it how they are standing still with no emotion whatsoever. That's good.
Goddamn. That one clean riff the lead guitar does towards the middle/end is so awesome. This song is amazing.
I really like the ending riffs of this song, they are very powerful and emotional.
This song is a masterpiece!! Those who say it's easy to play slow are idiots!! It's even harder to play slow....this drummer is a genius.
I got to see these guys opening for Scar Symmetry in Denver. I didn't go to see Scar Symetry. I went to see Swallow the Sun
great video great song
Without a doubt....this is the saddest riff I've ever heard 7:04
I LOVE HIS SCREAMING!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE IT LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!
Reminds me of the "Eviga Riket"-story by Cult of Luna. Or maybe the other way round, as this one was released first.
Anyway, beautiful song, with or without a video...
Right
They are fast becoming a favorite of mine. They are just amazing.
the vocalist has one of the best growls in metal
oh! great song!!
I think Finland has the the best Metal in the world!
Metal for ever!
Def. one of the best Doom bands ever.
One of my best song from StS. The video is very dark so are the lyrics. AMAZING...
Swallow the Sun is an awesome band!
This gave me teary eyes. It's just.. gorgeous.
"I wander between two worlds / No one can see me" and "But I swear / I will put them to eternal sleep /Then I can leave..." seems to be about a soul unable to pass on (read: die for good), and is being tormented by apparent wish of revenge (which manifested in mirror-scene). perhaps she was drowned (cloth on the water might serve a symbol of it) to the stream, i dont know but it seems to be linked to the house.
Agreed, its beatiful.
dark.
foreboding.
beautiful.
amazing.
7:03 Is a facebraker
omg I love this band
One of the best from StS
Just awesome!
As the greeks said, 'The worst thing for a man to happen, is being born'
i couldn't agree more...
Breathtaking...
No wonder the other name for Doom Metal is Funeral Metal. The members standing there, motionless, it's like grieving.
Very very cool video! I love the atmosphere..
what a graet video, the song is just beautiful and the images really suit it.
Swallow The Sun and Evoken are the best Doom Metal bands in existence!!!
this song is one of my favourites of "Hope"..
Shit day but god this song has made me feel so much better!
But then again all Swallow the sun's work is magnificent and uplifting,
Oh if only they came to Australia.....
Both are great
Most metal bands aren't very good at making music videos, but Swallow the Sun always seem to pull it off well.
that hair shadow is so creepy i just started listening to doom metal today and i love this stuff
Love the ending to this song
i love the song, the end is perfect ¡¡¡
Outstanding!
just beautiful and i like it what else matters
TEMONAZOOOO!!!!
Most doom bands cut their songs down to like 4min but not swallow the sun great song great video.
most rock/metal clips are really dull and {often} dumb (my opinion, of course), but this video is beautifully shot and creates a mood like the song. Swallow the Sun is like the Pink Floyd of doom/deah metal.
love it !!
next friday edmonton i will see these guys !!!!!!
EPICNESSSS!!!
Swallow the Sun is immeasurably cool for making a 9min+ music video. Immeasurably.
Love that pick scrape at 4:52 :)
well including the awesome instrumental parts too

Amazing band
Thanks to this song that today I have StS's full discography
Another good Melodic Doom bands:
-Novembre
-November's Doom
almost full of them too :)
Swallow the Sun FTW. I hope they tour the US again soon.
perfect
i like this song to death ... always singing it !
Going to see them at Backbooth on Friday.
pretty sweet video!
My favorite part is everything from 5:45 onwards.
Really?
I'm gonna be seeing them in February with Soilwork.
Can't wait =D
I just hope they don't fall asleep on stage XD
Hello Mr band Manager. Pls tell the band to perform this masterpiece next time they come to Romania. They OWE us this song :). Thank you.
oh my god, this was gorgerous!
stunning!
great!!!
The beauty of darkness
Great shit!
This track needs a fuckload more views than this
Epic is now used to describe Rhapsody of Fire, Dragonforce, Nightwish and Dragonball Z
hell yea dude.

i didnt like them the first time i listened to one of their songs either, 1 year late they were one of my favourite bands
genialne!
Come on man! Music doesn't belong to a territory. Music is universal and has no boundaries. BTW , StS had a blast in North America.
amazing band, finland rules for doom metal...
@prodigy45 i think it was the chronicles of thomas covenant
well said, mate!

Tylsäääää!!! Soittakaa vaikka Paranoid! :D:D
No, seriously, dudes, this was a nice video!
:)
the new album kicks ass

Oh fuc*, this IS masterpiece. I love to be a Finn
Tonight show will be.. the highest moment on my live..
STS !
melodic doom metal
5stars
I think the "bored" expression is just normal, when I seen them live last month they looked bored.
its doom/death really. more doomy but there is an undeniable death metal influence in their early work
@rmed30. varies. check These Hours of Despair live versions, the pace is quite normal yet heavily leaning to this kind of mood.
... Revenge or angst / frustration over the fact that she still wanders the earth and cannot rest.
Múdro hovoríš :)
liian kaunista. ei voi muuta sanoo
It's death doooooom!
