LYRICS
Hey you, will you be true
When you can see through what I do
Feel the pain in your brain, insane
Will I see my name in your scars
And you will see what you mean to me
Lust between the lines
Do you feel the need
When the night comes down
And when the night comes down
A father is waiting
And you will see what you mean to me
Lost control and called your name
Left a home in the pouring rain
In a sea of guilt and shame
Will we sustain

Opeth is so metal that they don’t even have to play metal to be metal.
Agreed 👍🏼 🤘🏻🏴
Exactly
Honestly, I still see them as a metal band. Just add some distortion.
This album has aged well among fans I believe. Truly warms my heart.
I used to not like it. Then I grew up a little bit.
I really struggle to understand how people can't enjoy this album and in particular this song. It's an incredible piece of music.
Reece B Because Metal Heads Are Purists there's so much infighting in the Community No this is Metal no this is it's madness Tbh Opeth has taken a different tone in their music tbh i like it better than their Heavier stuff
Reece B i guess opeth was too good for people to accept their change. I personally like this proggy side of opeth though, mikael's clear voice is incredible
i absolutely hated this song for years, particularly the part/lyrics where the gain gets turned up... but listening through a new filter these days and this is possibly the best song on the album
@@bloodletter3400 exactly
Mikael has made it clear that Opeth is not about a specific genre. If the fans are to be pleased with Opeth's output, they must have the openness and courage to participate in the artistic journey Mikael and Opeth are leading. It's sad to see some close-minded critics who got stuck with Opeth at a certain phase in the band's evolution. But honestly, the band has achieved an astonishing level of creativity and innovation that I cannot but be grateful for the music they are producing. Truly, Opeth is a one-of-a-kind band that managed to create a genre-defining sound of its own. And the rest is yet to come!
Opeth's most sly secret has always been their utterly seductive bass lines... and this song has it in SPADES! man I'm crushing on Opeth, my first love... again...
in time we will find our hearts united with a solitary sound, the sound of this belonging
***** funny seeing you here ;)
I love their bass work, especially on Lines in my Hand.
I agree entirely
At first listen, I didn't like the minimalistic guitar pattern on the verses. But I think it's probably to highlight the bass even more. Pretty good compositional technique, even if not done fully intentionally.
I still remember listening to this album, especially this song, on my way to work. On the train and across those stupid parking lots. Damn good song. Takes me back.
How Mikael gets you from the beginning of the song to the end blows my mind every time.
This band never did a bad song! Opeth rules!
See: Sorceress and ICV.
@@Cheximus are you saying that those albums are bad ?
@@reducetheatoms Compared to what they've put out previously, yes, without doubt.
@@Cheximus okay for Sorceress, not ICV in my opinion. Have you even listened to it ?
@@Cheximus I disrespecfully disagree
Now this is something you need to understand, not just to listen. This is not a song, this is a breathing soul singing her story.
No songs the same. Every one has its own personality. This and every other album!!!
Opeth

Can't stop playing this on my bass... I'm so obsessed.
You still?
As a guitarist in a band with a great Bass player & knowing Martin Mendez playing i can see why you would say this , he's one of todays best . No ego just music ...
listening to this under the moonlight is such a vibe, always gonna be my fav song
I had to come back, just to say this is pure fucking art.
Welcome back!😁
@@phillyblunt8473 😅
Just here to remind you of this awesomeness.
I want to compose music like Mikael. Everything is a magical journey between harmonies and melodies.
Wow the outro in this song is beyond brilliant!
🤩
I can't describe accurately what generates on me Opeth's music, sometimes words aren't enought. Just thanks Opeth.
That riff at the end gives me chills
whole song*
I love every woman who loves Opeth
hello there then
Once I loved woman who liked Opeth, too :)
thank uuuuuu u made my night
snowy ambar Hi Dear
Matúš Medveď I have never been that lucky
If you read books and listen to metal, this song is made for you!
Do I have to read a book? Man.. i give up
Wow so metalheads don't read actual books?? Damn I've been doing it wrong for the last 30+ yrs
i don't read books. i hate harry potter and all fiction stories like game of thrones and all that stuff. i just like this song and opeth because they have calm soothing music. i am from India.
@@janzanssen9660Books =/= fiction tho? You can read non-fiction or more grounded fiction if you don't like things like HP and GoT
Guilty
There's a maturity in this music..that used to exist in the 70s.. its fantastic.. 👏👏
Best song from the album!!
coming back after a few years... forgot how awesome this song is!
Indeed
@@ziltoidtheomniscient2490 precisely
I will love anything opeth does because honestly it's pure gold
Did I mention the fact that I adore this song ?
This song is so hypnotizing. I've been listening to this since heritage has been released. Favorite band, favorite album and favorite song!
Completely in love with this song.... Opeth is amazing.
Yes it is
Beautiful and bad ass song. I love their last four albums as much as all preceding albums. I love their progression. Same as Rush. I loved all of their work. Loved the progressions over time. Fredrik is surely classically trained. He and Axe were perfect choices for where Mikael wanted to go. .c
Has to be one of the best breakdowns/outros ever.
the last 3 minutes are incredible, speaking to my soul
Back when i was 18 young, optimistic, successful and loved by all.
The good old days, now it's all shit and depressing.
I used to sleep on the road to my college listening to this masterpiece, god take me back there! :(
too relatable, hope It's better now
Same but I was 14! So many good memories listening to this album over and over again
You're living the good old days
A "little" older, but this album was released at an upswing in my life as well.
Hang in there, you'll find other peaks that make the valleys worth it. And the valleys make subsequent peaks more enjoyable. Just enjoy the ride while you're here.
Thanks for existing.
love your comment!
gracias por existir
their music always takes to a fantasy world, whenever i want to let loose and enjoy the moment i listen to one of their songs
Great to hear a band taking music and composing seriously. Love this and are already on the hunt for their albums on CD and Vinyl.
I read that Mikael got a divorce during the making of this album. My friend pointed me that this song might be his thoughts on the days, when he left his home. As the lyrics state a lot of personal messages like "And you will see what you mean to me" and the final verse:
"Lost control and called your name
Left a home in the pouring rain
In a sea of guilt and shame
Will we sustain"
is pretty clear that this song is about him leaving from his home and life and struggling with agony behind it. And song's name Folklore might suggest about the fact that people go separate ways and everything around every person's "lore" is about finding or losing something. It's a common story that many people share and the stories have very much similarities. Thus, it's called a folklore.

I think I read somewhere that it's about incest, and I think it really makes sense:
"Hey you, will you be true
When you can see through what I do
Feel the pain in your brain, insane
Will I see my name in your scars"
This would be the Father pondering if his son or daughter can see through what he is doing, the real meaning that is, and if he/she will bears the scars of what he did
"And you will see what you mean to me"
This part is in the sense of the son/daughter will see what the Father really feels about him/her; spoiler alert: the answer is in the next line
"Lust between the lines
Do you feel the need"
Lust between the family lines, that kinda makes it clear; "do you feel the nedd?" I think would be the Father asking if the son/daughter also feels "the need", or the sexual desire, as does he;
"When the night comes down
And when the night comes down
A father is waiting"
And that about cleared any doubts I had; Father is waiting in the night;
And you will see what you mean to me
"Lost control and called your name"
To lose control would be that he gave in to his "need" and went on with the sexual act, and "called the name" would then be a reference to what one does during orgasm, calling out the partners name;
"Left a home in the pouring rain
In a sea of guilt and shame
Will we sustain"
After that the Father left home in guilt and shame from what he did, pondering if they will be able to live with "it".
What do you think?
Hey Mikael, may we get you official input on the matter?
but he is still married?
@@zonta.Ivan.navarro This is the worst bullshit I've ever seen.
For me is the same
@@zonta.Ivan.navarro That's cancer
They are fucking great band.
Is that Petrucci falling off the tree?
yeah. "yo man, take ur dt wankery to the ground"
Its per wiburg, the former keyboard player.
Wiberg ;)
hahaha
What about those skulls on the ground? Peter? Martin? -- is that you? :D
Best song on the album. Just magnificent.
Best song of the album IMO
yut yut, mine too (favorite song on this ablum)
The only good song on the album!
necroplastful the whole album is awesome to me :)
The devil's orchard remains the best !
SNAKY its btwn this one and "i feel the dark" for me, but this one has that superb outro
4 years . still listening to this album. all their other albums are fantastic. but this is the album which proves that they are MUSICIAN. its himalayan of their career.
GOD! I really love this album. Is perfect for every moment of day.
Opeth Summed up the beauty of prog which is to go through different state of mind in one piece of music ....
This song is magical... so freaking good
5:07 + - the leftovers of the old Opeth sound . R.I.P
That ending is just f* epic.
Seriously
the solo starting at 6:03 just wow
I get goosebumps everytime
This is absolutely amazing.
Masterpiece.
Is it though?
I living my childhood with Opeth, i will live every moment with Opeth. Till my death...
This song on repeat... love it
"Folklore"
Hey you, will you be true

Lost control and called your name

Will we sustain "Folklore"
One of the grooviest bass lines i've ever heard. Mendez is slick man. He usually doesn't get enough credit because Mike writes all the songs but not that bassline.
The bass on this album in general is incredible. It just draws you in. Both the playing and the tone are amazing. Mendez knows his shit man.
BEST song from heritage! :D
***** it is, up until that section at 5:50 which is my least favourite passage of music he's ever written; it sounds like something Muse would have discarded!
+schpleeb What's wrong with muse? :D
+schpleeb Thats very true. Opeth always makes me shed some tears and get goose bumps with their melodies and harmonies. Im not even talking about lyrics. Every song has its own suprise init.
Muse can be progressive sometimes, like with Citizen Erased for instance.
Owl SW
thats it my
friend
you feel
what you must
feel listening
to Opeth
God bless you
there bro
Lyrics. Vocals. Music. Band. Just wow.
This is the song that successfully marries prog rock with metal.
5:50 is what you came here for
Absolutely - ty bro
A McCall ya Jeepers, thanks dale
Excellent jams guys!! fantastic.
Beautiful ❤️
I remember a time they said Damnation was going to be a one of a kind album from Opeth. Now they just can't step away from that deep prog style... and fair play to them!!!
Marc Hoyland Damnation sounds nothing like Heritage nor Pale Communion. Seriously, Damnation is a one of a kind album, it's much darker and quieter than their new albums. And I wouldn't say it is progressive at all, unlike these last two albums.
Rarity Sparkle I agree it is a one of a kind and I love it, but there's alot of that stuff happening more so on recent albums. Before it was death metal with acoustic interludes and now they are much softer. Damnation is very progressive. You can hear the Camel influences on it...
Marc Hoyland Well that's true, they are much softer in their recent albums and that is similar to Damnation, but I still believe that Damnation was darker, scarier and deeper than these new albums (Heritage and Pale Communion), they are, in my opinion, much "happier" than Damnation, and sounds so different.
Regarding on the progressiveness of Damnation, I think I have to hear it again, since I cannot notice much progressiveness on it.
@@davidmb1595 And sounds much better too. Damnation's a top album.
Still one of a kind, none of the newer records sound like it. None of them sound like each other for that matter.
Super amazing track
This is such a journey. Creeping into one of my favorite songs by them. Even though all of them are my favorite lol
This album aged soooooo well. I remember it being hated so much back in the day.
Yeah I remember that too. I’m like what’s wrong with this album?
Beautiful...
just amazing...and 4:18 onward floors me every time.
Me tooooooooo i love it
so beautifull.
might be the best song Opeth ever wrote
best bass ever
I FREAKING LOVE OPEEEEEEEETHHH
opeth is amazing

Respect!
The whole album is an absolute masterpiece. Just like every other album before. So excited to hear the new one :)
New album will have a progressive style like Damnation and like Heritage, it's called Pale Communion and it gets released on August 26th

This band ❤️
"Do your best to explain just how AWESOME OPETH is!!!" 🔥LoL!🔥🎶
The songs from this album were way better live when I saw them on the Heritage Hunter tour. That being said, this song in particular is one of their best.
Flawless!!!
piece of art
just wow
Best song of album!
Formidable. J'adore
Best song on the album
That progression at 5:48!
Opeth❤❤
Piece of art 💚💚
progressive rock personified!
Opeth changed directions and this is one of the few songs in later albums that I like. Another being Cusp of Eternity.
+Harshal Bhave i love pretty much every song opeth has released i love metal but i also love rock jazz sould rap and many more genres of music it blows my mind how Michael Akerfelt can transcend from such a heavy section to such a beautiful lulluby, this is why i love Opeth so much...... right up there with Led Zeppelin and Maynard Keenan
Conner Chadwick Opeth>Tool
Even though i love Tool,Opeth is better
Excelente , muy bueno ☮️
I love this song!!!!!
Amazing!
Amazing \m/
used to fucking worship this album. hadn't listened to it for quite a bit... STILL SO AMAZING !!!
great sounds.
I remember seeing this performed live in 2011 as the closing song and I could barely handle its majesty. Blew my fucking mind. I walked out of the show with a loss of words.
Me encanta Opeth
+Skoshtwo U slobodnom prevodu, to je to
Pure Genius!
Masterpiece!
I could listen to that intro for an 30 minutes
5:51 OMG, that part reminds me so much of the video game Killer Instinct. I don't know why but I keep on imagining the character select screen and picking Orchid. It just so happens that Orchid is the name of one of Opeth's albums? Coincidence? I think not.
AN OPETHGARSM FROM 5:50 TO THE END !!!
Aw yeah 5:55 Gran Turismo, here we go!
EnragedSephiroth haha moon over the something
I see this 8 years later, but yeah you´re right! lol
Moon Over the Castle
Magnific Musicians Progressive Opeth!enjoy!
The way they have distributed equal time to all instruments so beautifully makes Opeth the most communist band ever.
First time seeing an analogy between communism and music
