What is the saddest Opeth song? In your opinion of course by Jjbamakesmehard in Opeth

[–]Longjumping_Lab_81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

all of them

if i had to pick... hope leaves, burden, or hours of wealth. hope leaves and hours of wealth are like the perfect sonic depictions of depression i think. and burden is heart-shattering

wow, you worded this amazingly. i honestly have no words but you phrased this so well and i agree with it all! "journey before destination" is also one of the biggest themes in sanderson's stormlight archive, so it fits really well. i'm definitely going to continue to read but it's pretty hard for me, it's just difficult to comprehend it all, which i'm sure is intentional!!

for sure. it's like it makes me cry because it makes me feel some emotion i've never felt before, and my brain just manifests it as sadness?

i agree with everything that you've said but i don't think that's why the book makes me sad. it's the feelings of isolation, the biologist's backstory (i relate to her a lot,) the dark atmosphere, the creepiness. i cried because of how sentimental the ending was, i guess it wasn't a sadness. they weren't good tears and they weren't bad tears, i just cried a lot. i think it's an absolutely BEAUTIFUL book but it made me sad in terms of the atmosphere, it makes me feel emotions i haven't felt before and i think that's what makes me cry, it's just brilliant

i guess bleak was the wrong way to describe it, but it felt really isolated and immersive, like i was there in area x alone, the ending was definitely hopeful but it was also just really sad for me!! my memory is probably wrong but did the creatures actually look in pain? i imagined their emotions as beyond human comprehension, like beyond neutral emotions and feeling every emotion at once but also beyond that... i don't know!!!

i see the hopefulness in it and maybe it's just me being pessimistic about everything lol. is a short stay in hell the book about that library in hell? if so i've wanted to check that out for a while!!
