Katatonia - The Longest Year Lyrics






In the nights of old I always wished
In the longest year that had me down
And I would freeze if you ever asked me
That was my way

Confront the guilt and try to overcome
Do not go away
I'm not there yet

I can see fire
When I fall behind
When I give up
My thoughts redefined
How cold is the flame
Of our uncompromising future
How cold is the sun

The city lights are fading still
The coming sky so white
And I'm the dark of this our new day
This is my way

Find the one
This weight will hold me down
How cold is the sun

    Is there a moment in music that feels better than that chorus? I really don't think so.

  12. Z.... ....

    Such a great song !
    I don't always like synths in metal songs but here they really fit the song, as they contrast with the poweful guitars in the chorus.

    In the nights of old I always wished
    In the longest year that had me down
    And I would freeze if you ever asked me
    That was my way

    [x2]
    Confront the guilt and try to overcome
    Do not go away
    I'm not there yet

    [Chorus:]
    I can see fire
    When I fall behind (fall behind)
    When I give up
    My thoughts redefined
    How cold is the flame
    Of our uncompromising future
    How cold is the sun

    The city lights fading still
    The coming sky so white
    And I'm the dark of this our new day
    This is my way

    Find the one
    This weight will hold me down
    How cold is the sun

    [Chorus]

    N.... A....

    betul dawson hey

  39. U.... ....

    This is truly beautiful!

  40. N.... ....

    It's a shame that so many people can't appreciate this beautiful music and listen to shitty teen-pop instead.

    N.... ....

    +Neverbloom It's a shame so many people are hung up on what other people listen to.

    N.... ....

    Neverbloom here in Brazil people listen to funk. It's not even music, your only need a beat, an idiot to "sing" and a bitch to shake the ass. But this kind of art is called shit by these people

    N.... ....

    This is really good stuff,  but If I want to listen to (shitty teen pop) i will, and  nobody, not even you,  can tell me otherwise.

    N.... ....

    I'm apart of that mature group of people who listen to this AND that shitty teen-pop and mumble rap

  41. b.... ....

    I love this álbum.. its the best of them IMO  cheerss

  42. K.... ....

    it's probably the saddest and the most powerful song of all i have heard.

    K.... ....

    Inheritance ,undo you and sold heart

  43. W.... ....

    what is the tuning of this song in the guitar?

    W.... ....

    Probably C F Bb Eb G C

  44. A.... M....

    Holy shit I found a clip of this made as a phone alarm and have been searching for the song for weeks I'm so happy I found it. But now I listen to the all of the lyrics it reminds me of my past and I only love this song that much more

  45. p.... s....

    Perfekt !!!! Greets from Germany !!!!

  46. E.... ....

    Im not there yet.

  47. l.... ....

    E,,,FUKKIN,,,PIC,,,,,,BITCHES

  48. v.... v....

    2013 was shitty year for me and everyone I guess,,,,,the longest and shittiest year no doubt.

    v.... v....

    for me too... regards.

    v.... v....

    God is full of depressed people in here.

    v.... v....

    +viki vik When I look back on it, I agree. It was a shit year mate.

    v.... v....

    Not as bad as 2008, 2010 and especially 2016.

    v.... v....

    Yeah, 2013 was awful. I developed mental health problems and I was unemployed for most of it.

  49. e.... d....

    i dont think theres any better explanation

  50. T.... ....

    Do not go away... I'm not there yet...

  51. I.... S....

    Great song ! They rocked Williamsburg Brooklyn last night !

  52. A.... P....

    Saw them live on Saturday 4.20, they played this song, it is excellent live!

  53. S.... M....

    Bella canción!

  54. v.... ....

    Katatonia, Agalloch, Opeth, Be'Lakor, Insomnium over and over ;)

  55. d.... ....

    No, if you like Katatonia you have to listen In The Silence - the first (and the only one at this moment) album

  56. H.... G....

    am i compromising the future ?

  57. M.... G....

    The longuest was when I discovered KATATONIA, I could stop me listening to their songs !

  58. m.... t....

    cool as fuck

  59. F.... ....

    + Novembers Doom, Daylight Dies ;)

  60. D.... K....

    Gosh:| it's so beautiful hearing

  61. e.... d....

    they're great!thanks for the tip, the more music and bands i come across the happier i am!

  62. j.... s....

    this band and periphery are my top two right now

  63. A.... H....

    Anathema, Swallow the Sun, Opeth, My Dying Bride, Paradise Lost, Type-O-Negative, etc. All these bands are worth checking out if you love Katatonia.

    A.... H....

    I have an album of Type O Negative

  64. T.... ....

    Metallica?

  65. B.... ....

    To the dislikers..... WE ALL HATE YOU!!

  66. d.... ....

    Metallica, Opeth Anathema..

  67. A.... ....

    Swallow the sun is indeed awsome, but they sound absolutely nothing like Katatonia. Although Renske did sing on one of their songs... Justice of suffering off the Hope album.

  68. N.... M....

    try swallow the sun

  69. e.... d....

    thats my problem too, i'm addicted, cant get enough of them. so i go on searching for bands thats almost like them....problem is there is not one band anywhere that sounds remotely close to them

  70. R.... R....

    Two bands that arent very popular that sound similar to Katatonia: The Loveless and Fragile Hollow.

    Katatonia is much better though so dont expect otherwise.

  71. T.... ....

    Amazing band! If you like Katatonia you might wanna check out a band from the U.S. called Codec. Search "Codec Bifurcate"

  72. s.... ....

    Amazing songwriting

  73. e.... d....

    got them,like them,great band. still not the same that i get out of Katatonia though.....

  74. e.... d....

    they are absolutely amazing

  75. h.... ....

    I bought this album cause it was album of the month with dutch magazine 'earthquake' never heard of them before.......it just blew me away....the longest year is amazing. Later on i found out that the album had a dvd with a live show on it (summerbreeze fest) and i got to know the old parts ..........i still can't beleve that i never heard of them...one of my fav bands, hope 2 see them live

  76. e.... d....

    why cant i find another band thats as close to being unique than this band, cant get enough.....

  77. H.... W....

    Can't I feel.....or what is the problem?!?

  78. s.... ....

    blocked him ;)

  79. R.... S....

    Whoa racist fights

  80. f.... ....

    Pandora likes to throw some nickleback on my Katatonia station then proceed to tell me I can't skip songs, for 6-7 hours, because I can only skip 6 an hour... FIX PLZ

  81. f.... ....

    @supreme338 not gothtikgamer sorry

  82. f.... ....

    Your personality must suck if you see a struggling person and can only insult them. GG

  83. A.... O....

    I've spoken to Pandora, shes a bitch.

  84. H.... ....

    Damn. Pandora randomly played a Katatonia song, and I am in love.

  85. T.... ....

    Besides heavy post rock, I'd categorize this as a little {depression-proof}

  86. o.... ....

    @supreme338 I think he meant lost friends by death...

  87. R.... F....

    in the nights of old, I always wished

  88. L.... C....

    Qué clase de magia es esta? What kind of magic is this? o.o

  89. R.... ....

    This song is better than drugs and alcohol :D

  90. t.... ....

    this is pure addiction

  91. a.... g....

    I prob wouldn't even call katatonia metal these days. Still awesome though.
