Opeth - Reverie / Harlequin Forest Lyrics

5:59 is pure bliss.

GODDAMN MASTERPIECE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That part from 3:28 to 4:19 just proved opeth is beautiful no matter what they play

Yeah the song is amazing and all but WHY HAS NO ONE MENTIONED T H E L I C C AT 3:32-4:09

How can every second of this song be so precious? 😳

I find this album to be the best of opeth, better than black water park... The most progressive by a mile...

Beautiful.

If you‘ve seen the ending riff live your life is complete.

Better than orgasm

Oh thx for the commercial middle of the song opeth ur great.....

Its the label fault not opeth

Clean vocals somehow remind me of Jonas Renkse giving the song Katatonia vibe.

Those lyrics are very wrong.

Confessions stuck in your mouth = Dark fissures stuck in your mouth.

Of the absinthe minded. really absinthe? = of the ABSENT minded

BEST outro i have ever heard, ok maybe deliverance is better but starting from 9:57 is one of the best outro riffs out there imo

farmers in vietnam be like:
"Into the trees"

I am such a bad person for laughing lmao

Into the trees
Past meadow grounds
And further away from my home
Baying behind me
I hear the hounds
Flock's chasing to find me alone

A trail of sickness
Leading to me
If I am haunted
Then you will see

Searching the darkness
And emptiness
I'm hiding away from the sun
Will never rest
Never be at ease
All my matter's expired so I run

A trail of sickness
Leading to me
If I am haunted
Then you will see

There falls another
Vapor hands released the blade
Insane regrets at the drop
Instruments of death before me

Lose all to save a little
At your peril it's justified
And dismiss your demons
As death becomes a jest
You are the laughing stock
Of the absinthe minded
Confessions stuck in your mouth
And long gone fevers reappear

Nocturnally helpless
And weak in the light
Depending on a prayer
Pacing deserted roads to find
A seed of hope

They are the trees
Rotten pulp inside and never well
Roots are sucking, thieving from my source
Tired boughs reaching for the light

It is all false pretension
Harlequin forest
Awaiting redemption for a lifetime
As they die alone
With no one by their side
Are they forgiven?

Stark determination
Poisoning the soul
Unfettered beast inside
Claiming sovereign control

And now the woods are burning
Tearing life crops asunder
Useless blackened remains
Still pyre smoldering

Am i the only person who lives the first 5 minutes more than the rest ;-;

I truly believe Mikael is a Genius. Up there with Einstein and Hawking.

6:00 : Pure perfection.

why is the views and like ratio so bad for the video!!!

Ironically in an attempt to not continuously sound the same, Opeth now keep releasing the same sounding albums. They were perfect like this. What a shame.

The ad at 5mins straight has caused me some sort of PTSD. . .

00:00 - 11:39 best part ever

Opeth is the vaccine to depression, can't get it if you know something this good exists

bruh so dark

Fucking love the bass work on this track. Just saw them play this song live (NH7, India) and it sounded exactly like the record. Pure magic.

NOW THE WOODS ARE BURNNINGGGG....

Heres why no more growling from Mike. Akerfeldt decided to address the drama when asked if he would ever growl again on an Opeth record:
“I can’t say, really, I’ve never turned my back on anything and I’m not
going to start now. It’s not like I don’t like that style of vocal
delivery anymore. But I just can’t develop any more as a singer if I
keep on screaming. In fact, I think I got worse at that as the years
went by. But if the future songs require those vocals, then that’s what
I’ll deliver. It seems like a long shot at this stage.”

I love Opeth and their evolution. Thing is I still prefer the music with bits of growl tossed in to it. That said they still are phenomenol.

Favorite song on this album hands down

Opeth is not a band, they are a spiritual experience.

Listenig this marterpiece while making my breakfast❤️

These guys can make an R&B or HipHop album and still make it sounds awesome.

THEY AREEEEEEEE... THE TREEEESSSS!!!!!

Jag älskar Opeth!

It's running on spotify, just here for the comments.

Hey fellow Opeth fans. I need some help. I have listened to Opeth's new stuff and really like it. This is my first attempt at some of their earlier stuff. I love this song to Hell and back, but I'm not a big fan of growls. Does anyone know any earlier Opeth songs with either no or minimal growling (excluding ballads like isolation years). Thanks.

To bid you farewell,face of melinda, harvest, benighted ,burden, white cluster and the moor. There are more but these are my favoritea

@Fernando Franco Thanks a lot man!!

@01 11 your welcome also in their album damnation all the songs have no growls only clean vocals so check that one out

This is not only one of my favorite songs ever, but also one of my favorite breakdowns. The ending is perfect.

Bikmadan her gün bir doz

Their songs feel like your inside a horror/haunted, wih forest and swamps and ghost and evil... movie

Cant stop thinking theyre gonna play the licc at 3:30

7:46 literally every chord that's been played, gives me chills (in a very good way :P) Thanx Opeth :)

Best outro in the history of outros.

God was never planning to create humans but on a vision of the future he heard the ending riff of this song and had no choice

This comment is gold.

Regardless of how many millions of times I play this, it is always as good as the first time. I can't really say that about other bands. How in the?

This album is quite good but unfortunately some of the songs are too long and so boring..

7:13
9:54

Best song ever made

9:30 to 10:00 is 🔥

7:20 makes the song for me

7:18 eargasm

Dans les champs hollandais!!!

Kind of reminds me of Ozzy's song Mr Crowly.

Wtf how...

Da heck u smokin!!!
🤔

This song is the kind of music that comes up when you're dreaming, most epic shit you've ever heard, and then you wake up and try to remember the song to translate to an instrument but you cant remember it anymore :(
thank God you have Opeth to cover that up.

10:00 so this is the “breakdown” riff of Tourniquet by Evanescence meets prog?

Ps: I love both bands, and this is probably just a coincidence.

YouTube put an ad in the middle of the song. What the f@@k

Something Like Alice in Chains Who sings with the Tool

Why does this album have better sound then the new ones?

I don't know if this song is my favourite from Opeth or Blackwater or Black Rose Immortal maybe Bleak !!
I guess every song form them is my favourite !

This will always be my favorite Opeth song.

I think Ghost Reveries have some influence of Lovecraft "The Hound"... Well, they could record an album inspired in "The Colour out of the Space";)

Are you sure it isn't, "Roots *are sucking, *feeding from my source"? Because that's what i've always heard there.

Legend says that the ending riff still plays on till this day

oh my god youtube just fucked me with an ad in middle of the video while i was listening to it non stop

Imagine if In This Moment covered this song.

There falls another

Dislike because of ad in the coolest part. The keyboard part. Uploader please, no more ads in the middle. Put it in the beginning if you must.

Probably the best wedding song i've ever heard

BEAUTIFUL X 9999999999 ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE

SSA w Opeth after their growler days I like this song and Blackwater Park and the Moor and Face of Melinda they played Face of Melinda only

HOw does one headbang to that epic ending

Is it strange that I listen to this and think of Tool?

This if by far, my favorite album of Opeth, as the acoustic and heavy, growly parts collide awesomely. I´m not a fan of growls, but Opeth gave me a new perspective of them.

Opeth's music is years apart from everything and the best thing is that they keep evolving and still enjoy going to unknown territories.

And need I mention the sound is beautifuly engineered... one of the best sounding opeth songs in one of the best songs in its class. But really it has no specific class.opeth is one of a kind

A true work of art

One of my all time fav Opeth tracks. It's impossible to choose just one. It's a journey.

This is my favorite opeth song, and maybe song of all time. Perfect balance of heavy and melodic. And this is coming from someone who is more of a deathcore fan now days.

Imagine being as good at anything as Opeth are at making music

Cadê os BR fã de Opeth???

Every note which play in this song give me chills...

😭😭😭😭 Love this song!

It's funny there's a ad mid roll on this vid. I don't care about Opeths song lengths, if it's 4 minutes or 14 minutes Opeth never fails to make amazing songs. I could go as far to say every song is an amazing masterpiece.

Martin fucking Mendez 0:03

Why does the snare so fucking weird at the 5:30 part, sounds almost electronic to me.

I listen to just about every type of music there is. And I genuinely think Opeth has some of the most well composed and written songs to ever be made. Songs like Harlequin Forest and Hessian Peel are just mind-blowing in their richness, and the way the music paints such wast pictures to let you sink into your own mind and get lost in. Truly one of the best bands on earth

Such a bad ass song and band!

Im fucking addicted to this song. This is perfection! Every single second is absolutely beautiful. Thank you Opeth

Youtube, you better quit fucking around. Banner ads on music videos are fine. Actual fucking commercials are NOT.

This song is timeless.
Absolutely brilliant.

sasha king crimson!

Watch some videos on Japan’s Aokigahara forest (suicide forest) and then listen to this song again with the lyrics up. Haunting perspective of someone entering that forest and never coming out.

I swear the part at 7:20 is the most holy piece of music I have ever heard

Brutiful

that outro is the just.... wow!!!

I can listen Opeth and Katatonia for the rest of my life.

The mid-section is a close resemblance to Death's Voice of the Soul

The clean vocals are just so much nicer than the screams. I don't understand why they don't use them more. God...

They do, it just depends on the song or album. They have albums with no screaming at all, those might be more up your alley.

Cadê os Brazukas fã de Opeth? Manifesto

Great song that sound and riff It always haunts me in my head
it make me same feel like i listen black sabbath war pigs riff and outro
that sound and riff its alwys in my head.

Masterpiece
