Only yourself..."

The beauty of finding the sound you didn't know you were looking for...

I found these guys quite late, but still way before knowing much or truly appreciating most of the styles they were somehow including in their music, and still they quickly became one of my favourite bands.

It's been around 15 years since I know them. I've had enough time to delve into progressive rock, different flavours of metal, including the most brutal ones, which are part of their influences.

As I go farther, as my knowledge gets deeper and my appreciation of all these music styles grows, I can't avoid getting back to Opeth and rediscover again and again their already long and diverse journey.

This is their first one, and it is astonishing. It has aged better than most debut albums anywhere, and the more I listen from everything and everywhere, the more I appreciate this masterpiece.

It's diverse, brutal, eerie, atmospheric, beautiful.

So the day will begin again

Take comfort from me

It's up to you now

You're still here and you'll dig in again

That's comfort to you

It's up to you now

So pariah you'll begin again

Take comfort from me

And I will take comfort from you

Love is free

In time, in peace

And now is here

This life, this dream ...

You know how it feels but... is it all in your mind?

When you know how it feels to be pushed and pulled through your life

And sometimes it seems like there is life in your eyes

And all that I know is I love you

Yes I love you

And it feels like we're already flying

But the air is too thin and we're dying

The clouds all around take us higher

The world far below is on fire

I hold out my hand just to touch you

And all that I know is I love you

A vision a promise of heaven

A reason for being forever

You're just a whisper away

We've come too far to turn back

This is where we stand and face it

This is who we are, one step closer

Into thin air we will go there

We've come too far to turn back

This is where we stand and face it

I feel you breathe

You're just a whisper away

We've come too far to turn back

This is where we stand and face it

This is who we are one step close

Into thin air we will go there

We've come too far ...

This is where we stand ...
