Daily Rec: Hope Leaves by Opeth
Song: Hope Leaves
By: Opeth
Here we have a beautiful acoustic song from the brutal Swedish prog-metallers, Opeth. From their mainly acoustic album Damnation, this soft lullaby is supremely soothing and mellow. For me the first simple notes from the bass guitar are the best part, there’s something elegantly powerful about the simplicity of it.
Aside from it just being a great song, one of the things I like so much about it is that it perfectly demonstrates how effective a close relationship between the bass guitar and drums can be. For years I was in a band and endlessly had to listen to the drummer talking about this, but I never really understood, but the simplicity in this song really bring it out.
If you enjoy this song I recommend the rest of the Damnation album as each song follows a similar style.
