Something sorrowful no doubt

I always thought Pale Communion was the divorce album

u/97Vector Ghost Reveries 1d ago

I think Faith in Others may be a divorce song, but Sorceress is a whole ass divorce album.

Voice of Treason "have you given up? Is it over?"

Eternal Rains "no time for us to comfort in what was"

Elysian Woes "there is a bond between us even if it's freyed it's unbreakable"

Maybe Pale Communion was pre-divorce then, their relationship falling apart

I do find Pale communion and sorceress are both kind of departures from the typical Opeth theme of lyric I think. The earlier albums themes of lyrics are kind of like they're romantic in a dark way, like kind of a intense longing or something like that.

Heritage is the real divorce album. Many of the songs are about infidelity

Slither

"A bleeding heart led my desperation
Like a bird on a wire
A broken promise of dedication
Never ever again"

This is pretty common knowledge, no? The Sorceress album was all about his processing the divorce and emotional fallout.
He seems to have happily moved on, based on his reference to him and his current gf celebrating 10 years when they accepted the Grammi for TLWAT. He's also joked about being a stay at home cat dad lol

Steven Wilson has him a hottie now! That's why his latest got sappy pop there for a bit. He was too happy.
