Opeth - Lovelorn Crime Lyrics

Absolute genius. One of the best ballads ever written.

Stunning. Could bring a tear to the eye.

That guitar solo is absolutely godlike

This takes me someplace else.

Best Seller Opeth Álbum ( In Cauda Venenum)!Magnific!

🖤🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼 ❤️ I love you Opeth 😍

My Favorite song of this album ...life would not be the same without Opeth.....thank you

A masterpiece! Amazing solo, beatiful, so much feeling

The best song of this album.

A voice through vapor
20 yards ahead
Is calling for your name
The empty paper
Waiting on the bed
It sets the waiting game


Credits to a dream


You can always strike me down
You can always say I'm wrong
You can always strike me down
But I will always wait for you



Ghost of memories, heavy on my brow
But changing over time
New ambitions corrupting every vow
Unfolding lovelorn crime


Credits to a dream

Really fine tuning their composition skills turning into a better band

my favorite song on In Cauda Venenum ♤

The Martín Méndez band perfect as always ☠️😈🤘🎸🎶

This songs makes me miss someone I have never met.

I miss you. You are so beautiful, just like this song.

4:15 apoteosi ! assolo fantastico

Absolutely thrilled with Mikael's voice

Good way to make a grown man cry Opeth. I can’t even begin to articulate the words to describe what a beautiful piece of music this is.

So good!

one of the best track from opeth

Oh fuck yes, I needed this, Mikael. Another incredible ballad. 11/10

5:16 - 5:18 !!!! That little harmonic/whammy bit in the solo....that's another level of class right there!

This album has grown on me

💘💘

So beautiful

Best song on the new album

this album sucks

who is listening this in 2019? hahaha

I was obsessed with Dignity, then I heard this....

INCREDIBLE SONG, INCREDIBLE ALBUM

Those screams tells lots of things. BEAUTIFUL

Beautiful song, though i prefer the swedish version. BUT does ANYONE know what gregorian chant they've sampled at the end? Or if it's an original piece? So sad they didn't develop that further.

honestly i cried like little baby, so beautiful

This why I love opeth there music is just unbelievably beautiful

opeth is soul and calming.

Renamed to Burden 2.0 !!!

Ad ogni ascolto sempre più fantastica

That solo is right up there with any of Petrucci's top works.

That fucking solo is beyond comprehension, beautifully written and executed. I feel like riding a dragon over cliffs of moher while listening to it.... just amazing...

This solo and the solo from Dream Theater's At Wits End are the finest I have heard in years.

You listen that? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycYewhiaVBk&list=RDCx9MbBjpd1U&index=12

"Sure, metal's all well and good, but one day I want to make the intro track to a James Bond movie!"
- Mikael Akerfeldt, 2019

why does this kinda sound like Toto? 🤔 (beautiful song though)

Burden v2.0

There's no way to deny this: Åkerfeldt is a GENIUS! I'm used to think to myself "Be prepared, Opeth's next album will probably suck...", and I'm always absolutely wrong.

You can always say your'e wrong!

The solo is incredible, don't get me wrong, but I'd just prefer Mikael wrote a solo for this kind of songs. His solo phrasing is just so touching

Fredrik wrote and played the solo

His vocal performance on this album is something else. Even more so in this particular track and Heart in Hand

Fanculo a chi non ama questo album !!!! Fanculo se siete prosters o metal..... chiudete gli occhi e ascoltate quel cazzo di solo che vale tutte le emozioni che ho dentro!!! Grandi Opeth in passato, nel presente e nel futuro !!! ⚔️🤘🏽

The level of soulfulness!

That solo is dreamy.

3:46 AAAAaaaaAAAAAAhhhhhhh!

You can always strike me down🎶

Orange County Suite Opening, just like the doors.

Holy shit, guitar solo makes me eargasm...

This track has Storm Corrosion vibes mixed in.

"Ghost of memories heavy on my brow
but changing over time
New ambitions corrupting every vow
unfolding lovelorn crime..."

Ah ! 'Sorrow'. How I've missed it.

This song is Romance. Its beautiful

OPETH IS RUNNING OUT IDEAS

They are weeding out the normies and metalfags. Genius.

@Dr_T-Bagger I dont refer about that. The musical movements aren't great how in the others albums. There are only beautiful sounds. It isn't enough for me.

Magnificent! Heart melting. I love ballads and this is top notch stuff.

I hear this masterpiece when i walk to college, when i go to sleep, when i sit on the roof gazing at the stars, I'm simply addicted..

Fredrik Åkesson talking about the song and solo in an interview.

“It started off in the demo stage of the album, Mikael had this beautiful ballad. He asked me, ‘I want you to do a long solo. I want this to be the solo that people will remember you for when you die’. I thought, ‘Okay, thank you for the pressure, mate.'"

Pressure is benefic, for sure friends

Mission accomplished.

This solo haunts me ...I wake up with it on my mind.... a landmark in my musical history truely

succeeded i guess

The saddest opeth song ever...it'll make you cry😥...love it so much

This is the only song on the album for which I prefer the English version. Damn it's so good.

What a guitar solo.... Frederik, take a bow!!!!

Youuu and mee,we used to beee togetherr, dont speak

This is right up there next to Burden.

Best rock ballad in years

If they high fived you at the gym, they would be Bropeth.

That solo...DOPE

vocal like Varg

Best Opeth song in a decade

Steven Wilson needs to try very hard now to beat Mikael

I wanna cry... Now this is my fav song in the world!

I'm feeling Face in the Snow vibes

Magnifique !

Mr Bungle - Retrovertigo ?

🎶❤️🌻

Easily their best song since Burden. Stellar arrangement.

Wish Tony Kakko of Sonata Arctica would listen to this and take some notes on how to change band's sound and also keep creating music which is actually good

Incredible song from Opeth's finest album to date (IMHO) review coming soon at www.progradar.org

ALBİNMUN EN İYO SADKİSİ OLABİL8R AMA GİNE OPETH DEMEM OROS0U CPİCGUİOKLARİ

My new favorite guitar solo! Reduces me to tears!!!

Cuckold song

Sad, tragic yet so beautiful. The guitar solo is devastating.

Can't get this out of my head. I thought that Heart in Hand would be the favorite of mine. But then I heard this. All the feelings that I hoped to have been buried forever gathered in masses to strike me down one more time. And again and again, with brutality of their own. But then I see the face of my beloved and everything goes away with the song still echoing in my head. But now in a good way.

And the solo. Oh my God.

A real raw one 🙁 How do you do it, over and over, Mikael? 😁Insane craftsmanship, never stop 'til time takes you!

I cant believe this is the same band that wrote Blackwater Park.

[Insert sardonic nonsense about how they aren't "metal" anymore here.] There, now nobody has to actually do it, and we can all just listen to the music in peace. :)

This is exactly why they're still such an amazing band. Regardless of genre, it will hit you like a ton of bricks. Mikael is fucking amazing.

I can. This is the same exact vibe as a lot of their ballad-y stuff from the death metal era.

@David Fuller Dont get me wrong. This song is great. Its just so different from their early style that you would tgink those were two different bands. Well Opeth never stayed the same did they. Blackwater Park doesnt sound like Orchid does it?

Try compare it to Orchid, or better yet, try compare Anathema's Doom Death albums to their newer ones!

Damn Peaceville Records breeds awesome musicians!!

I heard this song without knowing the title and it made me think of Maigret...then I saw the title and it all made sense. This is my favorite song on the album.

I'm getting Burden vibes here.

This is the classiest album they’ve ever put out

If you hate this album you’re simply out of your mind. Just because it’s not death metal doesn’t mean it isn’t great.

@Cheximus Whatever the fuck that means

i hate this album because its shit, fyi my fav album is heritage so im not a death head.

clint lewis Folklore isn’t an Opeth album.

People have been saying this ever since Heritage, but this time it's really true. This is their best album in a decade.

@Disco it's their loss!

A W E S O M E. i cannot stop listening to this track.

New prog metal bands should learn a lesson from this song (or any song of opeth for that matter)

After Burden, this is where my Heart Cried. :")
The first two lines are enough to make you feel pain

This is fucking brilliant

This song is AMAZING! I almost cried during that solo.

Confession, on the second listen I did actually weep. So beautiful

If the solo doesn't make you cry are you even human?

excelente canción con el acostumbrado toque melancólico Opeth !!!

Too soft

That time Damnation and Watershed met at a bar, had a bit too much to drink and woke up to see Watershed in it's bed the next morning..... Then 9 months later In Cauda Venenum popped out!

this is nothing like either of those albums...lol

@clint lewis It reminds me allot of those two albums.

@clint lewis This song is Watershed meets Sorceress and then some... hauntingly beautiful whatever you classify it as.
