This song from Ghost Reveries is now at the beginning of my playlist. I've been listeninng to Opeth since the last 4 years and TBH I don't like all the songs of Opeth but I do like most of their songs. I listen to a song and if I like it at first then I listen to it till I get tired of listening it.
This time I'm trying to get tired of listening to Reverie/Harlequin Forest form the album Ghost Reveries by Opeth but I think this will have to wait for a while because I can't get enough of this song. So, what is it that's so special in this song. Here's my analysis of the song by one of my influential band.
The first reason is of course, it is a song by Opeth. This should be the end of story but forgive me for continuing the story. This song is sung by Opeth so I can't get enough of it.
Another reason is that, there is a shift of musical genre(hope I get the right phrase) throughout this song.The song starts slowly and the whole intensity is moderate up to two and half minutes and then the musical intensity changes to a more rough and Gothic type. This variance is there all throughout the song and I think this is what makes Opeth OPETH. Then ability of Mikael Akerfeldt to change his voice from slow to growl and vice versa is another reason for my addiction to this song. And this brings me to another reason.
As the song progresses the vocals and the guitars, the drums, the keyboard and all changes the course of action. The smoothness in vocals of Mikael Akerfeldt sync very nicely with the music, which makes my ears proud of hearing this song. I also listen to this song when I'm driving to my college in the morning and when the song gets to this part that is from 6' onwards, my proud ears start to energize my mind and then I start to drive off the speed limits banging my head.
This motivation exist in my mind all day long and we all know that motivation changes the scenario of every ones life and I can proudly say that OPETH IS CHANGING MY LIFE.
This is my analysis of why I'm so addicted to this song and I can easily tell that this addiction will be there for a few more months. After this I'll search for another song of Opeth to continue the addiction which leads to the motivation. If you know other addictive and motivating songs of Opeth then please tweet me @theanilpaudel.
