Still Life is a gem. A story that requires it to be played from end to end. Mikael is an amazing story/lyric writer.

@@youreokayboah2128 I'm not a huge fan of Godheads Lament. It's a good song but I feel like it's not on the same level as the Moor and Benighted

Still Life is their crowning achievement. They opened with White Cluster on the Blackwater Park tour which was magic and then they closed with this song I believe a couple years later during the Damnation tour. Those were the best years.

Believe me when u know the story of this album and this song especially it will hit you harder Mikeal or the the character he played on this concept album when he returned to his village after 15 years from being exiled from it, he met melinda the girl he always loved and this track is talk about the meeting. The millow bluesy parts on the first half he was describing how beautiful she is and how he was exited to met her, then he noticed that her reaction was cold and she was a little bit scared of him so he was shocked and sad: "that hollow love in her face" Then in the half, the song start going darker and darker so what's happened? He found out that she was forced to join "The Council of The Cross" which is the cause of him being exiled for 15 years, at this moment the heavy riff hits and the song turns crazy. You guys really need to watch the live version of this song (2006) it was incredible 🔥🔥🖤

thanks for describing what is exactly going on

Still Life is as close to perfection as you can get. Have listened to it weekly since it came out over 20 years ago.

This is my favorite Opeth song ❤ 🎵

Lopez is the best drummer of all time. You can actually feel the emotion in his drumming.

all the drums were written by Akerfelt, Lopez was good but he needed Mikael and it shows in his new band Soen, even if I truly love Soen

@@xavierdube6520 if you think this is true then why are the drums for the band completely different the album before Lopez and albums right after Lopez. Mikael even credits Lopez for the reason the band sounded more aggressive when he joined. Lopez style is Lopez. Mikael had the ideas but he allowed Lopez express in his way

@@wesleyb1458 Plus, Lopez brought some other weird world music into the studio and got Mike to listen to it, probably influenced his songwriting. From what I understand, Mike lays out the music and gives his drummers/bassist/lead guitarist measures to work their own little magic in. Its why you can tell an Axe drum pattern from a Lopez drum pattern in an instant---two completely different styles.

Still Life is probably my favorite Opeth album. My wife who doesn't care much for metal loves this song.

My boss has been recommending Opeth to me. So far I've liked what I've heard.

Still Life is such an epic tale 🖤

Probably Opeths best riff. So mesmerizing.

Love that chord change before the ”refrain”. Now it’s time for you to hear ”windowpane” or ”To Rid the Disease” - or the whole Damnation album.

Make sure you're listening to the remastered album version. The whole album is a 10/10. ❤‍🔥🧯❤‍🔥🔥

great reaction from a great song from a great album...

This song has The Riff™️

White Custler should be the next from Still Life, such a underrated song

They already reached to write cluster. Go check it out. It's so good. Which you already know.

Still life is my favourite album of all the time, is so good that even Steven Wilson when he listened to it the first time, he couldn't believe it and he contacted Mikael straight away to let him know how fantastic was. And after that they started their cooperation. Now guys you just miss "Benighted", and the whole album will be done.

The comments already spoke for themselvs, but holy moly Still Life just hits different

Great reaction from the both of ya🤘

gorgeous song! .; )

ha i literally blared this album at work earlier today 🥰, then followed it with the "design your universe" album by Epica, then some a7x, some blink 182 , Paramore , more random tunes lol

Kit was being played with brushes, and the bass was a fretless. Then it shifted to the typical metal style.

Definitely some jazz on there lol love it

Finally!! thanks guys!

My promise is made but my heart is thine!

I love that T shirt with the octopus on it

Very cool, my friends. 🎶💫

Good album 😊

This brutal song guys! Grande Opeth🤘🏼🔥

Still Life is their best album

Gotta do Benighted

You guys should DEFINITELY do Beneath the Mire. Such an underrated song.

That would be cool to see you guys react to some Devildriver.. End of the line or Clouds over California, if you don't already know these of course.

And still life is the only CD I can do shrooms on!!

Now that you have completed the whole album, a full album live is in order

your hat is so cool

Black Rose immortal.... The Best the Best the Best.....

Wow a lot after track talking 😅 thanks you guys

You gotta do Forest of October guys, you must

Fretless Bass!

Have you done anything from Damnation yet ? Highly recommended.

Still waiting for Closure or Windowpane 😊

Do some gentle giant. In a glass house

Still no Be’lakor. But I’ll wait. 🌀🌀🌀🧘🧘🧘

he's using a brush on the snare

Guys you gotta check out Dream Theater more. A huge band for exploring as well as in terms of prog. Under a glass moon live score 2006 would be a solid choice.

Too bad Cash App is not available in France... wish I could tip you

They used brushes in this one. Not normal drumsticks

You still have a few killer songs to do. I can't think of another band from Zep to Metallica to Tull to ...... has as many songs that hit it like Opeth!!

Not my favourite album because of nostalgia, but I do agree it's their best album

This is good but I actually prefer the live "Roundhouse Tapes" performance of this song.

If this is your gendre then you need to look up amorphis. Top finnish metal band....you will thank me later
