To do this we part our ways, intentions are pure
my intuition
I might dare to believe, my intuition Through, and darkest thought of her
So close i feel it changing me, nothing and everything at the same time
my intuition
All this the same, i m out of reach
My intuition, and darkest thought of her Through, all that s been lost
Intentions are pure, suddenly i know
all this the same
I might dare to believe, so close i feel it changing me
and darkest thought of her
Suddenly i know, intentions are pure, save me from my fears
and darkest thought of her
False affection took the best of me, i might dare to believe
I have to let it go, save me from my fears, so close i feel it changing me
And i have wings i have, the absent mind, i m out of reach
So close i feel it changing me, my intuition
My destination, my intuition
My intuition, i m out of reach, my intuition
The absent mind, i have to let it go, intentions are pure
My intuition, suddenly i know
through oblivion
My destination, so close i feel it changing me
Through oblivion, i might dare to believe
My destination, so close i feel it changing me
false affection took the best of me
So close i feel it changing me, my intuition
I might dare to believe, my destination, my intuition
Why so much hate on this song? The whole Siren Charms album is bashed as a "hipster flith" while it has some really great tracks. Nobody says anything about "Satellites and Astronauts" or "Come Clarity", everyone loves "The Chosen Pessimist", "Whoracle" is also not-so-heavy. So yeah something about the "old stuff"... these are just ballads... so is "Through Oblivion"... get your head our of your asses people, I ask you kindly.
Honestly, this sounds like generic alternative rock. Even their previous 3 albums had more melodic death metal than this. Not saying this is necessarily "bad", but just listen to Jotun or December Flower, then come back and listen to this...
There is absolutely nothing wrong with the sound of this album. Of course, In Flames is constantly changing (who doesn't?) and they said that this time around they wanted to appeal to a different kind of listener. Stop looking at this album through a lens of their previous albums. Give it a few listens with an open mind and without being influenced by all the blind hate surrounding this album. It actually sounds very very good.
Vocals are clear and fine, melody is pretty simple, guitar is non-existant during verses. Quite boring honestly. They did better creating a quasi-ballad like this with 'Evil In A Closet', which is one of my favourite songs of In Flames.
It's obviously designed to be aired on radio and it's fine it's mediocre as long as 'Siren Charms' won't be kept as whole in this style.
'Rusted Nail' wasn't the best either, but I still enjoyed it, so I have hopes for at least a good album.
The whole album is really depressing, i was going through one of the hardest times in my life when it came out. I cried to many of the songs to be honest. It is a good record, but not as good as the three previous ones. I think Its a bit weak compare to the three previous ones. But i really hope they go back to the sound of Come Clarity.
Never thought I'd say this, as I have been extremely open and supportive over the whole of In Flames career, but In Flames died with Jespers departure.
Am I the only one here who prefers the new In Flames to the old one? for example i prefered reroute to remain and Sounds of The Playgroud Fading over the old Whoracle and Clayman albums -,-
I really disliked this song when i first heard it a few days ago. It really lacks the "death metal" in the "melodic death metal" equation. However, it has begun to grow on me a bit. I find myself coming back a few times every day to give it a listen and it does have the slightly depressed feel that is telltale for so much of In Flames' music. I kind of like it now to be honest. I'd still wish that In Flames would get back into death metal. If this song had come from a band that didn't have the musical history of In Flames i might be more accepting of it.
You know what, since I started listening to In Flames they have released six albums. And after EVERY SINGLE ONE of those releases I've met "real" In Flames fans who just stoped listening after the last album because the band is "not In Flames anymore". I still hear In Flames in every track of Siren Charms, and that's why they're such an inspiration. They change, develop and keep on making great music.
I remember when this song came out, and everybody hated it, including me. However, after one and a half years I can finally say this is one of my favorite In Flames songs. It just really takes some time to get used to...
