Opeth Double-Song Episode: The Wilde Flowers & To Bid You Farewell | The Daily Doug (Episode 208) 

Sorrow

By different girls , but yes.

Jason you are subbed to Daily Doug too that's so cool! Spot on about To Bid You Farewell too. A perfect song

The bass in this, sounds like something I'd expect to hear on a Chick Corea album. Probably has a lot of to with the tone.

It started my love affair with Opeth.

The bass and guitar duet play is the best thing about the song. That fret less bass is so good.

I get excited everytime a metal band use fretless bass. Ever since i heard steve digiorgio battle it out with the guitar in "the philosopher" by Death

Damn 🥴😂🤔

Good catch

This reminds me a line from Closure(Damnation) which goes like "In the rays of the sun, I am longing for the darkness." Man's obsessed with the sun.

Thanks for the suggestion. I will check it out. Opeth never seems to disappoint.

Still Life is my favorite album!! it was the first Opeth album i bought, and all the songs are just amazing.

Has always been my favourite album of theirs, brother :,) absolutely transporting experience every time

Moonlapse Vertigo is my favorite song of all time. A timeless masterpiece, just like every Opeth song.

the live version is unbelievable

Ne Obliviscaris would be fun.

I highly also recommend these songs, great that you've suggested them!

An amazing song, but there is way too much double kick in that song for Doug to handle

before heritage this was the only song I could never appreciate can you explain what I am missing?

PLEASE

Yesssss!!!!

I mean the best "ballads" are made by the heaviest metal bands and/or power metal bands

Deliverance / Damnation !! As they were meant to be, together

There are acoustic guitars in all their albums?

And the wild flowers gives me middle eastern vibes

@@mohameddarwish5272 And Charlatan gives me Bulgarian folk music, street accordion vibes.

I can see that

I think Still Life has those medieval acoustic vibes too

I remember Mikael saying that he brought a lute to the Morningrise recording session, planning to use it for some of the acoustic parts. But for whatever reasons, it didn't happen. He talks a bit about it on the Roundhouse Tapes DVD, just before The Night and the Silent Water.

Ngl it was a bit meh. A bit slow and not very good production.

@@xdman20005 nej asså jag älskar Opeth, det är mitt favoritband men just den låten är lite mäh.

@@merschavonia4745 bajs take but ok i still love you

@@xdman20005 aww tack so much! 🥰

Mikael said he was tired of doing those harmonies, and for BP in particular he resolved to make songs based on RIFFS instead.

Oh yes!

Torment x 100 😆

Same. Opeth and maudlin of the well are the only two that I love the “growl” vocals

How can reply be older than the original comment? Also Haken uses growls sparingly and nicely.

Hell yeah!!!!

Beautiful longplay! Beautiful story, beautiful singing, beautiful songs!

Ayreon gets blocked way too much for reaction videos. That's why you can only find reactions to "The Day the World Breaks Down". I myself tried to do a cover for In the Garden of Emotions and it got blocked worldwide

Black Rose Immortal isn’t death metal in any way. It’s black metal as well as the most of Opeth’s *early* music.

@Fangalatic I guess you`ve never heard their first 3 albums

@Fangalatic I guess that someone should also explain to Mikael as well, since he himself have talked about being influenced by black metal in the earlier albums.

@Fangalatic Sure, that’s why Opeth kept appearing on black metal compilations up until 1999. Black metal is a wide genre, it’s not only about blast beats and tremolo picking, even vocals are not necessary, the whole genre doesn’t sound like Dark Funeral or some similar bands. Some bands don’t even use real instruments except guitar and they are still black metal as hell. There is no death metal in early Opeth. Okay, MAYH has some strong death metal vibes at times, but it’s still black metal most of the time. Do you really gonna sit there, listen to April Ethereal or Karma and think “yep, this is totally death metal”?Early Opeth fit black metal perfectly, even with all the folky and proggy elements. Not that it was that much of an argument since Opeth were blending a lot of genres together since the beginning, but calling early Opeth death metal is like calling their latest albums blues. Just no.

Exactly right - Steven Wilson/Porcupine Tree do contrast so well.

@@tullfan2560 I agree so much

Can you tell me how you learnt it because I want to learn it myself if there is any papers online about it or something

Tbh while I love that song, Opeth deserves to be studied more

@@TheApsodist what? That's not an Opeth song...

I second the Riverside suggestions! :D Edit: (and all the Opeth ones, duh).

Also seconding the riverside suggestion, especially second life syndrome

@@liquidshadows79 During recent show in Warsaw, the 20 aniversary Tour, the band gave us an outstanding and unique live performance of "Second Life Syndrom ". Although it is not published on YT. The Reality Dream DVD version would be worth to review here.

Riverside is definitely worth to review. My personal favourite is 'SONGS' album. Musicaly great and definitely the best if we talk about production. Additionaly lirycs is very actual (isolation and separation due to covid times). Cheers from Poland. P.S. I also have been on this Warsaw concert. Great experience.

Welcome to the world of music reaction videos. He is actually way easier to watch or listen to than most who constantly pause and talk about any random stuff. If it's not the first or best guitar solo in the world, it also doesn't always require full attention to get the gist of it (as guitar solos are played "by the gist of it").

It’s a deep rabbit hole...so many amazing tunes...

Great band. Their new album is absolute killer!

Ljudet Innan is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Those 2 gentlemen, specially Mikael, never cease to amaze me.

@@dysthymiabearer it's one of my favorites too

I cant possibly imagine what youd find amatuerish or naive about it

Yup

I’d recommend listening to the album damnation then, if you are hooked

No Excuses!

Yeah, would have liked to have had Down in a Hole reviewed instead of Nutshell.

Or Rooster

@@metalmark1214 it's a start my friend will get him to do that one next time. My favorite Alice in Chains song will always be again.
