Katatonia - Shifts (from The Fall of Hearts)

Katatonia premiere new 'Shifts' video, taken from 2016 album Fall of Hearts.

“As the music for this song unfolded it took off in a different direction from usually what we do. Driven by its gentle, lush and shimmering rendition of melancholy it would take you for a waltz daydreaming of the past, longing for the happiest times of your life, only to find that when the dance is over, emptiness has filled another chamber of your heart. Both Jonas and Lasse enhanced these ideas into beautifully told lyrics and a simple, but very touching video.” Anders Nyström

Katatonia understands Grief in a way I feel many bands aren't able to convey.

This song has an Opeth feel to it that I quite adore.

I lost my cousin last month to PTSD. Army Vet. Tours in the MIddle East. Commited suicide. Left behind a wife and 2 boys, 6 and 2 yrs. old. He was 30 years old. His wife is a wreck. I can't even imagine what that's like. Enjoy this song and give Angie, Mason and Hunter your thoughts and prayers. Thank you Katatonia for a wonderful song and an even more wonderful video, as sad as it is. THANK YOU. It helps us heal.

After multiple replays of not only this song, but the album in general, I can safely say that the chorus to this song is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard.

I already know the band, but I just found out about this song through the automatic songs on Spotify, after I heard Opeth - Burden
and this song came on and I was just on the bus and just crying...

Wow, the end really got me... tears were shed this day. Beautiful song man.

This song is pure art. This ALBUM is pure art. My god, it makes me feel things i can't even describe. Well done Katatonia!

This album is one of my favourite songs off The Fall of Hearts. I've listened to it in the car hundreds of times on my way to work. There's such a range of complex emotions in Katatonia's music and this track encapsulates how I often feel about life. It's often dark but there is a beautiful melancholy that i've found Katatonia can masterfully communicate. Thankyou Katatonia for your music.

Devastating but beautiful, I got something in my eyes

Fantástica canción. Tan suave, tan tranquila como debe sentirse cuando se llega al estado catatónico. Gracias.

[carlofrontino]

Great song and great band, only 137.000 views, the world goes down!

[Hyperperion]

Interesting how the lyrics hint an apocalyptic disaster; shifting earth hence earthquake, clouds (of dust?) at our feet and the sun being turned into a jewel (diamond), that happens to stars after they explode and die. Our sun one day will do so too
