Sonata Arctica - 'The Rest Of The Sun Belongs To Me' (lyric video)

I have no feelings, there is no more sunlight
The darkest hour is now here
I must have lost it for good,
Staying here without a fight
Out in the cold and windy night
Still waiting for a sign

I know there is still a day for me
One short moment is still enough for me
Bring me life with your ray of light
If only I found a small piece of the fallen sun…

I wait for the day that will come
Wait for the sunlight, wait for the one
You can do what you want with the sea
But the rest of the Sun belongs to me

The winter fell on me and ended my life
The darkest hour is now here
Yet one more frozen month, my Hell awaits me
Out in the cold and windy night
Still waiting for a sign

I know there is still a day for me
One short moment is still enough for me
Bring me life with your ray of light
If only I found a small piece of the fallen sun…
I wait for the day that will come
Wait for the sunlight, wait for the one
You can do what you want with the sea
But the rest of the Sun belongs to me

I wait for the day that will come
Wait for the sunlight, wait for the one
You can do what you want with the sea
But the rest of the Sun belongs to me

I know there is still a day for me
One short moment is still enough for me
Bring me life with your ray of light
If only I found a small piece of the fallen sun…

I wait for the day that will come
Wait for the sunlight, wait for the one
You can do what you want with the sea
But the rest of the Sun belongs to me

I wait for the day that will come
Wait for the sunlight, wait for the one
You can do what you want with the sea
But the rest of the Sun belongs to me

Album με ακουστικά τραγούδια είναι η δισκογραφική επιλογή των Sonata Arctica για το 2022. Φέρει τον τίτλο "Acoustic Adventures - Volume One" και περιλαμβάνει ακουστικές εκτελέσεις παλαιοτέρων τραγουδιών της Φινλανδικής μπάντας. Το έδαφος προετοιμάζει το lyric video του "The Rest Of The Sun Belongs To Me", για την επιλογή του οποίου ο πληκτράς Henrik “Henkka” Klingenberg μας λέει:

«‘The Rest Of The Sun Belongs To Me’ was a song that first appeared as a bonus track for Japan back in 2003, just around the time I joined the band. When we started to arrange songs for the second "Acoustic Adventures" tour in 2019, this song somehow kept popping up and we decided to give it a go.

Our dear friend Masi Hukari who joined us on stage for the tour did a lot of the work on this particular arrangement and I think that his input was really important in how this song turned out.

For this record, we used the live arrangement as a starting point and I don’t think the song changed that much, so what you hear is a slightly refined version of the 2019 tour arrangement. We decided to use this song as the first single since it’s really different from the original studio version and as always, we prefer to offer something new and interesting for our fans and for ourselves as well.»
