It was me, peering through the looking-glass.
Beyond the embrace of Christ.
Like the secret face within the tapestry.
Like a bird of prey over the crest.
And she was swathed in sorrow, as if born within its mask.
Her candlelight snuffed, the icon smiled.
Emptiness followed by her wake.
I could clasp her in undying love.
Within ghostlike rapture the final word was mine.
She faced me in awe. 'twas a token of ebony colour.
Embodied in faint vapour.
Wandering through April's fire.
Compelled to grasp and to hold the one that was you.
I will endure, hide away.
I would outrun the scythe, glaring with failure.
It is a mere destiny I thought, a threshold I had crossed before.
The rain was waving goodbye, and when the night came
the forest folded its branches around me.
Something passed by, and I went into a dream.
She laughing and weeping at once: "take me away".
I don't know how or why, I'll never know WHEN.

That's the most beautiful ending of a song ever written. Even better than the outtro of Deliverance, in my stupid but humble opinion.
Almost the whole album goes from song to song seamlessly.

Yeah it probably flows the best out of any of the Opeth albums, but doesn’t fall into the blurring trap that orchid falls into.

Malkovith1 in reference to orchid the theme becomes the album, the concept or idea. The blurring happens imo when the songs don’t vary enough, so it’s hard to distinguish one song from another one. That’s the only Opeth album that I heard that falls into that “trap”

Lyrically as well! Notice how the final word of each song is the title of the song that succeeds it.
Outstanding song and even better album. Very underrated imo
This song's beginning is so perfect. As another one said earlier, you should take a look at When. April Ethereal, When and Credence are my favorite My Arms, Your Hearse songs.
so many killer riffs on this song, its one of my favorites by them
They did April Ethereal so god damn good at the Royal Albert Hall. It puts the original version to shame.
Bought My Arms, Your Hearse 1998 at release, one of my most well played to date.....Demon of the fall! :-)
This album, and particularly this song, will always hold a special place in m heart. Emptiness followed in her wake.
F I N A L L Y ! Opeths first 3 albums are their best. I'm so tired of people suggesting BlackWater Park, Still Life, and Ghost Reveries stuff. This whole album is amazing

There is great stuff on every album. I always want to say "bleh" to ghost reveries until I put it on again. The guitar solos of that album are bluesy as fuck. Morning Rise is probably my favorite though.

React to "When". It's the next song on the record. (The last word on the lyrics is the name of the next song in this album)

If it The Leper Affinity never existed, The Amen Corner would definitely be my favorite song.
I absolutely love you reacting to songs that shaped my musical taste. Big heart to you and Opeth :) Next Opeth song should be When (the one after this song on the record) or Moonlapse Vertigo from Still Life.
@johnwhite8847

Anything from Still Life is reaction worthy (except for maybe Benighted).
I've seen Opeth at a festival and at their own show and it's definitely true that they are best at their own dedicated show to allow them a chance to get more in and really shine.
One of the best of the album and I would argue one of their hardest hitting songs on their catalog. Martin Lopez REALLY made in entrance or introduction. I love When, but this song is rarely mentioned and I think they it’s just as good as When and Demon of the fall.
And again I say, old Opeth is the best Opeth.
I was so happy when I saw this in my feed. One of their most beautiful, atmospheric songs (that ending riff and fade omfg). Great reaction!!
i consider this a magical track.... next one has to be WHEN of the same record
bij de weg godverdomme dit is een van de beste Opeth nummers!
I fucking love how you say at almost every Opeth reaction that this is your favorite Opeth track. Black Rose Immortal, The Moor, and now April Ethereal. Opeth is love, Opeth is life. What's great is that they wrote 8 albums like this one, this good.
You should hear “When” follow song in the album! The best song of My Arms Your Hearse álbum. 👍🏻 Great reaction man!

April Ethereal is Opeth's best ever song
Ruben.. Your reaction to this had me laughing so hard at how you were sinking back in your chair! Best song best album❤
7:29 this really the same reaction I did on this part first time I heard.
This was the beginning of what I consider Opeth's 2nd era, and their prime. The best lineup, the most cohesive and interesting songwriting, the start of something incredible.
Excellent song, very powerful, regards from Chile.
Best Opeth album by far.
Opeth always have great opening tracks and this one is no exception. I suggest you Godhead's Lament for the next time.

The comments are accurate, you should react to "When", the next song of the album
This song makes me fell confortable
MAYH is such a good album... after Ghost Reveries, it and Blackwater Park are my next favorites.... nice clip as usual. Prog Saturday rules!!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘😁😁😁

Fuck yeah! One song, one album. One of the greatest. Edit: That song/album also starred Mikael Åkerfeldt in some vocals - because the old god Dan Swanö was impressed by Åkerfeldt.

From the same music era - Anathema "Sleepless".
Great track. 'When' follows this on the album which is just as good. I would check out 'Hessian Peel' next which I think is their absolute masterpiece. I'm not sure you've listened to anything off that album yet! (Watershed)

I second that! Absolutely do "Hessian Peel", it's THE summary of Opeth (and one of my favourites).
Estrum - The Game
You should check it out "White Cluster", one of my favorite Opeth songs right now.
Opeth - When
Moonsorrow - Jotunheim Moonsorrow is a big plus for your collection
Please do Ghost Brigade with the song My heart is a tomb, you said you liked the atmosphere on the last one . You will surely like this one! Really sad and melodic!
Katatonia - My Twin
Moonsorrow - Jotunheim, absolutely beautiful, don't know if you tried anything from Moonsorrow yet :] Definitely worth checking out.

Amazing band, seen them a few and they are perfect.... Can you do a reaction video for a band called Rishloo please? Either a track called Downhill or Feathergun in the garden of the sun :-) Very underrated band...
Villagers Of Ioannina City - Ti Kako
Nice reaction as always. React to this amazing band from Faroe Islands. You will not regret! Hamferð - Deyðir varðar pronounced Hamferd. Amazing vocals and absolutely a beauty, epic doom/death.
The Sixpounder - "The New World Order" and "The Hourglass feat. Peter of Vader & Vogg of Decapitated". I GUARANTEE you gonna like it.
Off topic: Saw Jinjer last night in Brooklyn, NY, and they were badass. Was a small venue, so it was very intimate. Got some good photos and videos, if you want to check them.

Hi Ruben, since you are a big Opeth fan and you also like Katatonia, please react to Bloodbath's Hades Rising \m/ I promise you won't be disappointed :)
listen to Universal Mind by Liquid Tension Experiment! either that or acid rain..... universal mind is incredible though.

Psycho Choke - Get Down
But you didn't listen to the outro :( that is one of the most important parts to connect with the song u_u
Let me challenge you: Try Moonsorrow - Jäästä syntynyt/Varjojen virta
A superior warmup for any metal vocalist... The clenched jaw of "like a _secret face_ ", The deep tearing in "the icon _smiled_ ", The rolling guttural L-to-R in "could grasp her in _undying love_ " I mean the whole song is just... opratic. Akerfeldt in Katatonia's Brave always gets me going Edit: I dont know what to call it, but a good example of the roll L-to-R would be in Jinjer's Pisces - the chorus word "blaze" nails it. Man it's just so fucking cool
Holaa! Saludos desde México. Great your videos. Pleaseee react to bands from México "Agora" and "Anima Tempo" (Metal Progressivo mexican) \m/ !!
Insomnium - in the groves of death Gojira - global warming
Hi, react to "suffocate FT. David Vincent" of Nuclear Chaos, a mexican band that played in metaldays and wacken open air
