Top 10 Best Anathema Songs
A list of the best songs by the English progressive rock and metal band Anathema.
I've listened to this band for 20 years now. I understand why some people may prefer older songs like Emotional Winter or Are You There? It depends on when you felt strongly about the band. If that's the case, I'd go for Angelica.
However, it is worth seeing the transition here. Untouchable is a song about redemption, and it beautifully fits the band's timeline.
Unbelievable change of sound from a wonderful band. This comes from an old fan. This track is the best I've heard recently!
You know when someone asks you what your favorite song in the world is, and you have to think about it for a long time? For the past 14 years, I don't have to think even for a second.
No song can come close to the emotions this song has, from the acoustic intro to the heart-wrenching solo. This song is perfect. Oh, and Vincent's vocals are just perfect.
Let's make this clear: this is the best song ever! And it's not number one in this top 10?! No, seriously, this song has some of the best lyrics ever made, with really nice music and guitar play. I highly recommend it as a true Anathema fan.
One thing I love about Anathema is that all of their albums I've listened to so far have the most amazing starts, and this song is no exception. I never get tired of listening to this one.
The best love song I have ever heard.
This song touches you deeply.
My first beloved Anathema song! It's great, especially the ending part.
This is why I loved Anathema in the first place! This song is pure awesomeness.
Watch the live version for an extended guitar solo that will send you "flying."
How much longer until I hit the ground...
Great song! You can feel all the pain!
You can feel sadness among the strong feelings in this song. It's unique.
The Plovdiv version is incredible!
One of the best songs I've ever heard. It takes my breath away every time.
Soothing, beautiful, and strong.
Anathema can't have a top ten, sadly. It's the hardest task ever. I'd vote for this song because it is incredibly underrated and insanely beautiful.
Come on, people. I don't understand why this song is not on the list. It clearly deserves to be number one, followed by Lost Control.
Man, this is easily the best from Anathema. Come on, people, stop voting for Untouchable.
This is without a doubt my favorite song by them. The incredibly beautiful and sad first half and the incredibly brutal yet hopeful second half are just perfect. The production is top-notch! Love it.
I expected this to be number one. It moved me so deeply and is an all-time favorite song. But the other songs above this in the top ten are also awesome.
This track has everything. Stunning when performed live.
The Newcomers
Very nice song. I wish someone would pick it up and do their interpretation. This song must be saved because it is damn cool.
Duncan Patterson doing his finest songwriting in Anathema. Simply spellbinding.
This song is really amazing! It should be at least in the top five.
So much love for this song. It is touching, emotional, and intense like no other!
Anathema is my idol, and Regret is a masterpiece!
I can't stop myself from listening to Regret and The Lost Child. Wonderful songs!
Seriously? Not even top 10? Every second of this song is unbelievably beautiful.
Honestly, I don't know how many times I've re-listened to this song!
Epic 'stormy' start fades out into an emotional grand finale. Love it!
Why is this song so underrated?
Underappreciated, remarkable song.
Best of Anathema when it was actually a metal band. Their new songs are terrible.
The energy in this song is simply charismatic.
One of the best songs of Anathema.
In their recent Cathedral tour, they did an acoustic version with both Vince and Lee doing the vocals. They absolutely nailed it! It was incredibly atmospheric.
Man, I love this song. I can't decide between One Last Goodbye or Dreaming Light. One Last Goodbye is more from the heart, but Dreaming Light gives me chills.
This song always has the power to make my tears flow.
My first choice would be One Last Goodbye, but number two is surely A Natural Disaster. It's an interesting and unexpectedly good duet with Lee Douglas, featuring beautiful guitar and singing. The song is melodic and very impressive with its lyrics.
These two songs (One Last Goodbye and A Natural Disaster) are like a dialogue between a split-up couple. I'd recommend you listen to them together in a row with the lyrics in front of you.
Why is this song number 17? This song is my number one for sure but should at least be in the top three on this list.
This should be in the top 5. It is a real masterpiece.
I think this is one of the best songs on this album. There comes a time when the melody slows down, and it is as if the singer realizes something and regrets it.
This is the most well-composed Anathema song, in my opinion. It's highly expressive and guides tension brilliantly. These folks have tremendous talent and musical intelligence.
Reminds me of the pain of losing the love of my life. A truly special song.
A very obvious number one song, and I agree. Followed by A Simple Mistake, Fragile Dreams, and Flying.
This song is really well-built, with the greatest guitar solo. And not in a dude, awesome riff way, but in a musical, compositional, expressive, and highly emotional way.
Seriously, this song is amazing. It contains all of their work's emotions at once.
