Another Katatonia classic. Great song, and an absolutely fucking awesome record.
But I had a thought, couldn't it be possible that Krister Linder's "character", singing from "Brother, in your eyes I was the stronger", could be spoken from a deceased close one? How he has always protected and loved his brother and that now that he has has passed away, he can't look after and protect his brother, instead being forced to watch from the sidelines?
Probably my favorite song on this album. The whole record is awesome though.

Listening today with headphones on... I don't know if anyone else notices this, but at the very beginning before Jonas sings, there is ambient noise in the background. To me, it sounds like a typewriter, someone typing a letter on it. The sounds are distorted, but I'm almost certain it's a typewriter.

Also, in Jonas' chorus before the guest vocalist comes up -- in the background he is saying "I swear it's true", and something else, "You swear" or "You say" I can't remember. I don't have the liner notes with me, cos I'm at work. But I do know it's "Your ghost in the limelight" and not "You're a" -- otherwise it seems pretty spot on.

After listening to this many times on repeat (its so good), I came to the same conclusion as Mellanslaget.

I loved how one brother thinks he's slow and falling behind, while the now-dead brother thinks of himself as rash. It's all a matter of perspective...

"This evening I kept my word Did you? I'm turning around wait for your sound"

There is something so beautiful about this part, it's hard to identify. A promise from long ago that the surviving brother was able to fulfill?

Can't get enough of this album, or this song.
