Miakel has said that he really didn't know how to end the song the song so he just kind of destroys it. Personally, I love it because nearly every song from their death metal era has a touch of eerieness and not even their clean songs are safe.

that's detuning happening at the end... he is loosening up the strings and keeps on playing guitar

Here's Mikael on that: "I didn't have an ending for the song; there was a few options to end a nice song like that. Either you end on a high note with a nice chord or a fade out or something. But I just came up with the idea that we should end it in a freaky way and I'm just basically playing this ending lick on the nylon string guitar and I told Fredrik to de-tune the guitar in real time as I was playing. So obviously it sounds very ugly but that was the whole purpose. We didn't know if it would work or not but it did."

I didn't get into the lyrics much, but they're probably my favorite of theirs so far. Love them.

Oooh Hessian Peel is great! All of Opeth's songs are though.

Watershed is my favourite Opeth album and in my top 5 albums of all time. Doesn't get enough love from fans, IMO. I like the end of Burden. I heard that it was because they didn't know how to end the song, but it works perfectly, moving from the beauty of Burden to the far more sinister Porcelain Heart. Nice, drama free and seemingly genuine reaction. If you're doing Hessian Peel next, I'll stick around. The Lotus Eater and Hessian Peel are both fantastic.

masterpiece 🖤

I love the way the detuned guitar at the end slowly gets worse and worse sounding as it goes. The creepy laugh at the very end just adds that extra something that elevates it from fun to sinister.

If you like this style of Opeth, you'll like the more recent albums. Watershed is the last album where Mikael growls, and his singing only gets better with time.

I believe while they were recording this song, Akerson was detuning Mikael's guitar and apparently Mikael found it funny. Explains the laugh.😂

Pink Floydish but I also hear some unintended Steve Miller Band (the double guitar sound at the end of Wintertime perhaps, I don't know for sure).

Give a listen to Lovelorn Crime from their latest album. It has the same vibe as Burden, but is way better imo.

The songs end is done that way: Mikael Akerfeldt played that picking pattern straight through while Fredrik Akesson is detuning the strings...the loughter in the end is Mikael Akerfeldt who finally lost his countanance...

Yes the last section is similar to Comfortably Numb.

HE IS HEAVEN M'aam

I think you'll find it *raises* the question.

I can't imagine listening to "Burden" without listening to "Porcelain Heart" next. Oh, and by the way, David Gilmour is my most favorite guitarist and musician, ever.

This song would make a good James Bond movie theme.

At some point you'll probably be expected to do Black Rose Immortal. It's sort of the 'Plaaaay Freeeeebird!!!!' of Opeth shows, but a lot of fans see it as their magnum opus. It's an older song so the production is much rawer with less keyboards and organs and the harsh vocals are probably the most demonic they've ever been, but it also has lots of acoustic sections, and just generally great riffage. Also it's 20 minutes long, but if you get into it, it doesn't feel like it. It's still a big commitment though.

Iirc Mikael Akerfeldt has even said that David Gilmour is one of his idols guitar playing wise. He definitely said he is not going for fast, impressive, shredding solos but instead melodic, emotional, soulful soloing. So the solo section is Mikael and Fredrik taking turns and I believe it is Mikael first, then Fredrik, then Mikael again, then Fredrik one more time and then they go into a duet. Fredrik can do the shred type solos as you might be able to guess because he has those very virtuoso fast licks in his playing although he keeps it still strictly melodic because Mikael told him to ;) Also, the organ solo is the shit :) But is it a Mellotron? Or a Hammond? I think it's a Hammond.

DT could break down each & every not of what they are doing and why plus tell how it follows music theory, chord progressions, which scale/mode that it's in/ect/ect. If i am not mistaken i think every member has a degree in music theory. That being said, Opeth imho blows them out of the water. I guess an analogy would be to compare Yngvie Malsteen to David Gilmore, sure YM is more of a technical virtuoso player, but he does not have the feel/soul of DG's playing. Rest notes are important people. So are sustains & bends.

Sad story really. Way back in the days Micheal broke up with his girlfriend, and she eh... ended her days. Yeah. Unless I'm wrong this song is about carrying the burden of guilt and sorrow, and moving on I guess. Rising above it. I don't know. There might be an interview somewhere explaining it better.
