Opeth..."Harvest"

I really like this song, but there honestly isn't much to pick apart...It starts with the accoustic guitar...Then they simultaneously play the accoustic with electric, and it stays pretty even and steady throughout...A fluid, constant rhythm...Quite melodic...Awesome guitar...It only varies slightly between verses and chorus...Even the drums and cymbals stay pretty constant...

I'm usually more into the music than the lyrics or the actual singing...But, in this song...I LOVE the lyrics...This is a song about dying, and not realizing that you're gone...You look past the gates and see your funeral...The chorus is basically about that scene...and for those who commit suicide, the scene is faded because it wasn't time yet...

Into the orchard I walk peering way past the gate
Wilted scenes for us who couldn't wait
Drained by the coldest caress, stalking shadows ahead
Halo of death, all I see is departure
Mourner's lament but it's me who's the martyr

And the singer's voice is excellent...Haunting...The background vocals enhance that overall "feeling"...I love that, too
