Bro I first heard this when it just released some decades ago and we were camping in the forest under trillions of stars...was very surreal...will never forget this damn album
Steven Wilson is a genius! The sound of the last solo on this track along with the bass line has Steven Wilson's Trademark sound all over it. Love that their collaborations always turn out magnificent!
@@offline2776 Me too, you should listen to the whole tape this is on, it's freaking awesome!! I can't believe I had never heard of them until I heard it on TV.
@@karenredd8314 I will. The song name and the melody is a masterpiece. To be honest, I'm not so surprised coz I like symphony metal and Gregorian chant as well, but I've never heard about Opeth before the criminal minds season...
@@offline2776 My favorites are from back in the good old hippie days, Hendrix, The Doors, Jefferson Airplane, Iron Butterfly, I love Godsmack and Alice in Chains. But I love Clair de Lune, it's such a beautiful song.
Let me tell you an shortened version of a story which I share with my friends when I initiate them to Opeth. I found a strange painting in Montreal's Mount Royal forest which was grey, white, black and gold which depicts a morbid putrid nurse in a void of stars. A disturbing picture to not get into details. Behind it there were the lyrics of "Death Whispered Me A Lullaby" translated in French Québécois joual - but I didnt know it was this song until a year later. Brought the painting home and one year passed, I discovered this song and the lyrics where the same as the obscured text behind the painting. Horrified & concerned, but mostly astonished by the conjuction - as I was fan of Opeth by did not venture much into the Steven Wilson area. The painting remains in my music area near my Opeth EPs, vinyls, CDs & my turning table. Thats my little life story about Damnation.
@@eddieademi id say the best song to explain the painting's vibe and my personal story with it would be "By The Pain I See In Others" but I assure you I am well and healthy , so is my family. The nurse is quite "friendly" actually, most of my familiy/wifes familiy(except wifes mom) say hi to her upon visits casually and consider it part of the household for she is such an unexpected picture outside from the common wolrd view, it is a stunning piece of art. Laughing in the face of fear is such a great medicine. Why someone threw it away is the Mystery to me - it has plated gold sheets on the edges and is really large. Its far from cheap. Maybe the person who first bought it was compulsive and way too superstitious to have a mindbending painting, or maybe it was inherited and the person hated it, I cant and wont know for sure. That is all I have to say, let your imagination fly if you wish to fantasize a bit more, isnt that what most of us want?
@@d_page maybe the painting was so cursed and beautiful that the previous owner who had it was horrified and could not stand it anymore. Damn man this story gave me the chills, id kill to see what that painting actually looks like.
@@eddieademi I feel we are cursed by our actions and choices, not by paintings or images we come across. Outside stimuli can only reflect our own darkness, the painting is a scarecrow, and nothing more in my humble experience. Its the hows & whys that are a little more mind bugling imo XD dont know wont know
For real dude I listened to this album more than 100 times without looking up the lyrics It's very surprisingly darker than I ever expected But the music is very soothing
I had "Blackwater Park". And then this one came out. I almost got whiplash changing direction that fast. I've been a massive, massive fan since. It's never boring, that's for sure. I've played this record about 8,000 times.
Out on the road there are fireflies circling Deep in the woods, where the lost souls hide Over the hill there are men returning Trying to find some peace of mind Sleep my child Under the fog there are shadows moving Don't be afraid, hold my hand Into the dark, there are eyelids closing Buried alive in the shifting sands Sleep my child Speak to me now and the world will crumble Open a door and the moon will fall All of your life, all your memories Go to your dreams, forget it all Sleep my child
Ive nearly died multiple times in my life and have a lot of chronic medical issues and pain..... this song is the first one in a while to bring me comfort
This is most definitely an album I would have a hard time living without. It’s been years since it was introduced to me. And it is always playing when my life is in turmoil.
If it werent for Mike Become The Knight i wouldnt be here... Opeth is one of a kind, and its almost like every song has its own story. I love when i can picture the story in my head, its makes the song seem even darker as in lryc/song wise! Opeth rules!!
@@dogbiscuits752 Dude looking back when I was first listening to Opeth for the first time, I'm shocked how much I know about them now. I'm proud to say Opeth is my #1 favorite band of all time. Keep listening, you'll eventually find your path like mine!

This Cd was left at my house the night Dimebag died. I thought it was a new age thing until I heard it all. Never thought this would open up a strange trip thru unbelievably talented music harder and softer than music imagined. And yes, they sing about death. Go figure.:)
En los ecos de la oscuridad se esconde un amanecer que no llega aunque salga el sol... Y a veces por más que tratemos de see fuertes llega el momento en que debemos parar y recobrar esa fuerza, no importa lo que exista al rededor, lo que más importa está dentro de nuestro ser... Long live to Opeth!! ImI yeah ImI
¿Y qué cuando la oscuridad que tanto tememos se inmiscuyó dentro de nuestra cáscara, e impregnó con disidencia el hervor que otrora nos caracterizaba y distinguía?
Anyone happen to know whether Mikael, peter, or steven performed that haunting, chill-inducing solo at the end??? Always wondered, but I no longer have a physical copy to refer to the credits with. :(
not sure. the liner notes are not clear. they say that all songs published by blah, blah, blah, except death whispered a lullaby, lyrics by steven wilson, published by blah, blah, blah. next line says grand piano, mellotron, fender rhoades, backing vocals by steven wilson. i don't know if there is piano or mellotron on death whispered a lullaby so it may just be saying what he contributed to the entire album. genius.com credits mikael as the lead guitar with peter playing rhythm on death whispered a lullaby if that helps.
I had a friend who listened growling, shouting metal and he loved Opeth. He said, at least listen to Damnation. I listened. Became one of my favourites.
'Didn't used to favor this album or understand it well enough, it was good... After living through some periods of extreme pain and experiencing deeper respects to things; I now consider this album to be the best piece of metal/rock made - it resembles the newer more powerful person I feel inside now perfectly, while holding onto the pain I remember and sadness of past. Acoustic guitar is the most powerful metal sound I understand now, its something else.
Kinda in a funk lately. MCR wasn’t hitting the right vibe so I looked up “lullabies to sing you to death”. This popped up and was exactly what I was looking for so I will look forward to listening to their discography.
ahhh i havent heard this song in a few years, it was the first opeth song i ever heard and i fell in love with the band immediately, but after getting into the heavier stuff i never really came back to this album much :( but im glad to be here now
No one else is commenting that this is a completely different song to the agent montage at the end of Criminal Minds, Season 1, ep 22? Same title, sure, but this is not the song. SIRI can’t find it either, nor any lyric finder search engine, which should point to Opeth at least right? Where is the real song???
This album for the past 14 yrs has helped my anxiety and helps me sleep
Oh, sleep my child
Oh, sleep my child
Oh, sleep my child
Oh, sleep my child
Bro I first heard this when it just released some decades ago and we were camping in the forest under trillions of stars...was very surreal...will never forget this damn album
Me too! Every single night I put it on. It’s so relaxing. I’m always asleep around Track 3 or 4. Rest easy
I legit get chills listening to this song. This entire album is a masterpiece.
Every BIT as Good LIVE!!
It's so fabulous!
Damnation was like a soundtrack to a phase in my life. Helped me cope with it beyond measure.
Same here
Absolute same for me
You're not alone brother. We can go through this
It got me worse lol but kept listening
Same here.

Out on the road there are fireflies circling
Deep in the woods, where the lost souls hide
Over the hill there are men returning
Trying to find some peace of mind
Sleep my child
Under the fog there are shadows moving
Don't be afraid, hold my hand
Into the dark, there are eyelids closing
Buried alive in the shifting sands
Sleep my child
Speak to me now and the world will crumble
Open a door and the moon will fall
All of your life, all your memories
Go to your dreams, forget it all
Sleep my child
I imagine a kid walking with the grim reaper :I
I sang this to my son on road trips as a lullaby, worked every time
The lyrics are so Allan's poesque
You're one of those people? In this case we'll all let that slide
I can't believe this album is already 17 years old. Its still some of the most influential music I've heard in my lifetime.
And now it's 20 years and I've been listening to them for the last 18 years.
Thanks for this Opeth, and thanks to Steven Wilson as well.
0:52 Classic Opeth style with the riff that stops a bit on the tritone
It's one of those things that make Opeth sound so... Opethy
My Dad just passed away...this is for him..🖤
One of my all time fave songs of Opeth, and one of my all time favorite band
My grandfather just passed away this evening. This song is for him.. Sleep my child
I am sorry for your loss
RIP. He is at peace now.

What was your reaction to the ones with growls? Lol
This dude is in for hell of ride.
Welcome to the Opeth rabbit hole.
Scorpio hello :D
Same
My god, this evokes the memories of Meddle-era Pink Floyd in a lot of ways. Moody Blues too.
My fave Opeth album!
I remember scribbling the lyrics to this song on the back of some painting in the woods i found back in montreal. It was too creepy to take home.
I wonder if someone found it and got even more creeped out.
Also, based profile picture.

1.Opeth
2nd. My crush
This is the only track in this record which the lyrics was not written by Mikael Akerfeldt. The track was written by Steven Wilson.
Best song on the whole album
The melodies and harmonies of the vocals at 1:17 are giving me some Abbey Road vibes (i.e., Because, Sun King). Very cool.
This Cd was left at my house the night Dimebag died. I thought it was a new age thing until I heard it all. Never thought this would open up a strange trip thru unbelievably talented music harder and softer than music imagined. And yes, they sing about death. Go figure.:)
Yeah I'm surprised I never heard of this band before. Awesome music.
Have this album on vinyl love it been a huge fan for a hot minute.
This is my favorite Opeth song. It's as if It sings to my soul. It feels supernatural. Truly an amazing song. It has such a profound effect on me.
I completely agree. Theres something different about Opeth's music, i always said it felt like it was made while communing with spirits or something.
This band is beyond incredible!!!!
One of my son's favorite Bands. I like them too.
Your son has great taste in music!
Cool dad !
Masterpiece
The last time I heard this song was +12 years ago, it gave me chills and transported me to my youth magically
A piece of magic
sounds like a refugee of bad dreams of the past! Beautiful song!
Amo esta cancion, todos los momentos que viví jusnto a este disco y en especial este tema, I LOVE OPETH. TY :)
Without a trace brought me here and I'm thankful

Hearing an Opeth song on Criminal Minds was surreal and awesome
Great vibes, like a story was made for this song and not the song added to the story.
Anyone happen to know whether Mikael, peter, or steven performed that haunting, chill-inducing solo at the end??? Always wondered, but I no longer have a physical copy to refer to the credits with. :(
Pretty sure it was peter, with a mix of Stevens studio magic haha, they had a clip of Peter playing it in the studio documentary.

This is so good, i wish all their stuff was like this, i get that they grow and all snd the other stuff isnt bad, but this album is awesome.
That solo
Each and evry notes of opeth is like a magic my all time fav prog metal band 🤘
One of the best album...
Timeless song. . 🖤🖤🖤
This band never ceases to amaze me.🤍
I think the best way to describe this song is "the inverse of Soul Meets Body"
Most underrated band in existence! If everyone would listen to this album, they might understand everyone else's life and existence...
Great Song and album....all the best from Boston Massachusetts, USA
Some of my favorite lyrics ever.
Best song on Damnation.
Can't disagree but all of the songs are amazing in this album ❤️
I love this jam. It's the first Opeth song I learned to play and sing. Tricky at first but rewarding.
I had a friend who listened growling, shouting metal and he loved Opeth. He said, at least listen to Damnation. I listened. Became one of my favourites.
You listen to world of warcraft OSTs lmfao
Their best songwriting approach is this album
i guess, if you are not a fan of prog metal.
Such a good song. Great work. 🤘🏻😵
Season 1 Episode 22: The Fisher King: Part 1 of Criminal Minds brought me here !!! Also I love this song !!!
No

What? I’ve binged all of that show! I can’t remember THIS!

This is their most different album, so maybe you won't like the other albums
