At that point Tommy had already played his last track for 'Stones Grow Her Name',San Francisco Giants Hunter Pence Jersey, 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,Texas Rangers Derek Holland Jersey, I was told. The song hits home, if you know the subject and can relate to the subject. To put it short,Texas Rangers Ike Davis Jersey, 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,Pablo Hernandez Chile Jersey, 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,Wizards Jersey, abandoned school building. Somehow spooky and COLD. It was mid-March. Could say we were lucky the weather was unseasonably warm,Neymar JR Barcelona Jersey, 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 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.,Zack Kassian Canadiens Jersey, or running in the woods in the middle of the night and not sleeping for 48 hours... had all that with the past videos."Interview (audio): "I Have A Right" video: |
