    Still Life is a gem. A story that requires it to be played from end to end. Mikael is an amazing story/lyric writer.

    Still Life is their crowning achievement. They opened with White Cluster on the Blackwater Park tour which was magic and then they closed with this song I believe a couple years later during the Damnation tour. Those were the best years.

    Believe me when u know the story of this album and this song especially it will hit you harder
    Mikeal or the the character he played on this concept album when he returned to his village after 15 years from being exiled from it, he met melinda the girl he always loved and this track is talk about the meeting.
    The millow bluesy parts on the first half he was describing how beautiful she is and how he was exited to met her, then he noticed that her reaction was cold and she was a little bit scared of him so he was shocked and sad: "that hollow love in her face"
    Then in the half, the song start going darker and darker so what's happened?
    He found out that she was forced to join "The Council of The Cross" which is the cause of him being exiled for 15 years, at this moment the heavy riff hits and the song turns crazy.
    You guys really need to watch the live version of this song (2006) it was incredible 🔥🔥🖤

      @@xavierdube6520 if you think this is true then why are the drums for the band completely different the album before Lopez and albums right after Lopez. Mikael even credits Lopez for the reason the band sounded more aggressive when he joined. Lopez style is Lopez. Mikael had the ideas but he allowed Lopez express in his way

      @@wesleyb1458 Plus, Lopez brought some other weird world music into the studio and got Mike to listen to it, probably influenced his songwriting.
      From what I understand, Mike lays out the music and gives his drummers/bassist/lead guitarist measures to work their own little magic in. Its why you can tell an Axe drum pattern from a Lopez drum pattern in an instant---two completely different styles.

    Still life is my favourite album of all the time, is so good that even Steven Wilson when he listened to it the first time, he couldn't believe it and he contacted Mikael straight away to let him know how fantastic was. And after that they started their cooperation. Now guys you just miss "Benighted", and the whole album will be done.
