"I Have A Right" was the very last song I wrote for this album. At that point Tommy had already played his last track for "Stones Grow Her Name," gotten ready to go to sauna AND opened his first beer for that night, when I sms'd him to check his e-mail and record yet one more "easy track".
He was mildly pissed. And perhaps fueled by that he nailed the song on the first take. It was a very emotional moment for him, I was told. The song hits home, if you know the subject and can relate to the subject.
To put it short it's a song about how we should not pass the burden we get from the past generation on the shoulders of our future offspring. Children's rights subject. Not the most metal subject ever, I suppose, but then again I think it fits our band well and is pretty universal. Funny to actually have fans from each age group this songs speaks about. Let's see what comes of it.
Choosing the first single and video from this album was not very easy this time around as we had so many candidates. The best possible problem to have! "I Have A Right" won the vote.
The playing parts for this video were shot in our home town Kemi, here in Finland. The location was an old, abandoned school building. Somehow spooky and COLD. It was mid march. Could say we were lucky the weather was unseasonably warm, yet way below zero.
Director Tuukka Temonen and his crew did a great job with editing and all the additional footage. All in all, from my point of view, this was the easiest ever Sonata Arctica video to make. No 12 hours standing in a room filled with bird shit, no freezing my ass off on the ice in the middle of the sea from 8am to 10pm, or running in the woods in the middle of the night and not sleeping for 48 hours...had all that with the past videos. I am more than pleased. I hope you like the song and video as much as we do.
In related news Sonata Arctica have been confirmed to play at Sonisphere Festival in Madrid, Spain on May 25th. More information click here.
Sonata Arctica "I Have A Right" Lyrics
Give me the right to be Hurt, to be seen, to be loved, to be free to be
everything i need, to be mean, to said to believe, in something
I have a right to be Hurt, to be seen, to be loved, to be free to be
everything i need, to be mean, to said to believe, in something
Father theres a little flower, beatiful and different, all alone, all alone
Is it so dead im not supposed to make the world anew and be like you. And i
knew
Give me the gift to be Hurt, to be seen, to be loved, to be free to be
everything i need, to be mean, to said to believe, in something
I have a right to be Hurt, to be seen, to be loved, to be free, to be
everything i need, to be mean to said to believe, in something
Right to be hurt, to be seen, to be loved, to be mean
You made it clear right from the start, i am to take your sour heart
within, one sad game
But i will never teach my son, in bitter history, to tired and true, cause
im not you
I have a right to be Hurt, to be seen, to be loved, to be free, to be
everything i need, to be mean, to said to believe, in something
I have a right to be Hurt, to be seen, to be loved, to be free, to be
everything i need, to be mean, to said to believe, in something
Give me the ice, so i seek in the air, so i hear, gimme love so i know what
love is, give me the freedom to think to be mean, in something
I have a right to be Hurt, to be seen, to be loved, to be free, to be
everything i need, to be mean, to said to believe, in something
So give me the gift, to hear, to see, the love, the freedom, the truth, the
things i feel, to be right for the world you leave me, in something
Give me the right to be Hurt, to be seen, to be loved, to be free, to be
everything i need, to be mean, to said to believe, in something
I have a right to be Hurt, to be seen, to be loved, to be free, to be
everything i need, to be mean to said to believe, in something
Give me the right to be Hurt, to be seen, to be loved, to be free, to be
everything i need, to be mean, to said to believe, in something
Right to be hurt, to be seen, to be loved, to be free, to be everything i
need
Right to be hurt, to be seen, to be loved, to be free, to be everything i
need
Right to be hurt, to be seen, to be loved, to be free, to be everything i
need
Right to be hurt, to be seen, to be loved, to be free, to be everything i
need
To be hurt
