Rant about a good song 

I love the band Sonata Arctica. Their album "Pariah's Child" is fantastic.

But one of their cheesiest songs is one of my favorites. It's called "I have a right" and it essentially describes a "right" to encounter basic human decency, especially for children. The core chorus is ultimately "I have a right...to have everything I need to be safe to believe in something."

That... is not necessarily a right in modern society, as we typically understand rights. But maybe it's what we should be working towards.

The song also has a secondary message of giving the younger generation the space and freedom they need to mend the "embittered history" of their elders, which is another message I can get behind.

The song is played almost like an anthem, too, which adds to its uplifting nature.

Anyway, just wanted to rant about some music for a bit. Give it a listen if you want:
